NOVUS
To create is to Destroy;
to Destroy is to Create.
to Destroy is to Create.
Alchemy.
The greatest of sins all fall back to this one singular source; alchemy is the fall of man, the temptation that crushes humanity under its foot, sweeping all in its path to the side, destroying all that opposes it. Alchemy gives rise to monsters, chimerae and homunculi, mass murders and warmongers- alchemy is the root of all evil, and at the source of all problems. When was the last war fought without alchemy? Without alchemically crafted weapons? Would there have been wars for Philosopher's Stones without it? Would there have been genocides to use as human sacrifices without it? Would there have been any wars at all?
Novus is an organization devoted utterly to the creation of a "new world," a world without alchemy. Seeing alchemists as the greatest of warmongers, having been in positions of power so many times before, they desire to eliminate the threat that leads to bloodshed; to kill alchemy is to kill war, and there are many ways Novus goes about doing this. Primarily, there are three sectors within Novus, each dealing in different fields. The Soldiers, directed by the Generals, are in charge of launching attacks and doing much of the heavy footwork for Novus, leading raids and other military strikes. The Agents, under the authority of the Operatives, are charged with the most delicate and covert of the field work operations, such as sabotage, reconnaissance, and any heists required. Meanwhile, the Media Team, led by the Ambassadors, is in charge of the public appearance of Novus as an active, productive, and highly respected political party and activist organization, as well as defaming alchemy at any given opportunity. These jobs, combined, make up the force of Novus; a political regime, carried out in shadows and in daylight, but never seen breaking character- no, Novus has not been ousted as having anything to do with any of even the most outlandish crimes it has committed.
And that's exactly how they like it.
For a bit more insight on Novus, we really must begin with the coup d'etat in Drachma, year 2017. With RIOTE removed from power, the remaining forces of the infamous terrorist organization fled to the Great Desert, soon after, pledging fealty to Xing, in exchange for funding and a base of operations. Operating from out of the shadows, of course, Novus rose from the ashes of RIOTE, forming out of sight in Xing, and growing to the point that agents could be scattered around the globe, wherever needed. And thus, an antagonist the world once knew had become like one the world had never seen before. Dangerous. Discreet. Darkness shrouding their every step, allowing them to place tender fingers against your wildest fears, the fears of the unknown; dreadful. Novus.
