Anathema: We've started!

Anything Noble and higher can still equip an essence weapon equally well. Only common and scout ones get hammered from the fancy weapons.

Your NA will probably be a royal with a separate artifact 5 thought core installed, plus whatever subsystems you want. For your totem, I'd recommend a flight system and the artifact 2 aquatic system, plus whatever weapons. Moonsilver warstriders will be able to enter warform with their owners, in a limited fashion.

Yes, you know what, that sounds like a quite awesome NA Warstrider, indeed.

Oh, okay, yeah, Legs can have a Colossus, or if I'm strapped for time, common, then. A leader needs to seem imposing after all.

Wait who's the leader?

You are sir, I would never challenge your authority.

Damn straight.

Now if you'll excuse me, sir, I need to be busy being your counseler.

Heh.

Lemme guess, that job mostly involves hitting me over the head to try to keep me from pickpocketing everyone in sight.

Actually, it's a really sweet gig. I spend ten hours every day plotting to over throw you, and then the rest I spend eatting and sleeping, while on your pay roll. The only reason I'm in this posistion is because you know I would never actually do it, as I need your resources, while some up and coming mortal would actually try to do so.

You do realize you I pay you in un-backed coupons, right?

Yes, but they don't really matter, when you consider the resources I get from you. I just sell the excess that I don't use. Of course, the resources are being used to construct your army of mechs, my lord, not solely for my personal gain.

Oh noes, he's the Federal government!

Well that's good.

...

I'mma go build an army of assassins and priests so we can further our own goals. And by our, I mean mine.

You know, which one of us are you talking about? Because I think we both count considering our practices...

Considering my goal was to build myself a giantest mech every built, I don't really has any.

Yes, lots of priests, I need help in the factory-Cathedral.

Boy, you sure have a wonderful goal! All of this technology is going to help!

And guess who's probably best-equipped to handle the recruiting?

Whoever they are... they had better be able to help me get my hands on 500 priests. Or 5 equally qualified Exalted. Or some mixture there of.

Well, my guy certainly isn't going to help in some violent crusade!

Actually, them having warstriders might actually help you. When you have rare, ultra-powerful equipment like that, people listen to you.

At least for smaller territories, you could march up next to cities, park outside, and then ask them to surrender. No violence, per se...

If we control the world, think about it! We can erase violence!

...

Hey Eo how good of a liar is RC?

But it was achieved through violent means, and thus, is no better!

How is it violent if we don't hurt anyone? It's like the threat of MAD, and what that's done to global politics, only unlike today, the enemy don't quite have what we do.

SILENCE FO--- I mean. Umm.

...

Want a mint?

Charisma is how good you are at communicating when telling the truth. Manipulation is how good you are at lying. Presence is used for one-on-one social attacks. Performance is used for targeting broad groups. The human maximum in any of those is five. So, you're pretty effective.

Oh okay cool.

THE MINTS AREN'T POISONED, YOU SHOULD EAT ONE.[/Jedi mindtrick]

Is it really peaceful when everyone hates each other, except they are to afraid to attack?
