Have A Cigar: CEO Backstory Lore

[La Villa Strangiato]

(come in here, dear boy, have a cigar, you're gonna go far...)

Lore Impact: Medium-Large

Species: Human, General, Megacorp

Short Description: Adds several paragraphs' worth of description of the CEOs of the Stellar Corporate Conglomerate (and Einstein Engines), with exception of Miranda Trasen (because she already has some), and Kubra Mobolaji (because I forgot PMCG existed, and I might add some for him later).

How will this be reflected on-ship?: This definitively provides a history for CEOs, as well as establishes some friendships, rivalries, and brings some new names of previous megacorp leaders into the mix. It can be referenced by Corporate Liaisons in particular, and provides some opportunities for good old-fashioned celebrity gossip.

Does this addition do anything not achieved by what already exists?: Yes, it rounds out the personalities of some very central characters in our setting, and allows merc players to pick the right accent in case they want to play the CEOs in a gimmick provides opportunities for more inter-faction bickering.

Do you understand that the project may change over time in ways you may not foresee once it is handed over to the Lore Team?: Yes.

Long Description:

Obviously, any lore mistakes in terms of timeline can be brushed past or fixed later.

I like the lore, it's always good imo to give more personality to the CEOs and honestly I don't see any problems, also found it kinda funny that TIMEs magazine is still active

 

+1 for me

This will need to be changed to a in-lore education center.

Beyond that, I think on the whole while this does a good job on expanding the backgrounds of the CEOs, I feel that it doesn't really expand on their personalities. I admit that it's difficult to write personalities well from an OOC perspective, but I think you could do with some expansion on it. As an example with Hsiao-Li, explaining how her politeness affects her dealings with others, maybe giving an example, would go a long way in my eyes.

After further discussion and being medicated for my fever, I retract this previous statement.

[wowzewow]

I'd like to see the CEO's fleshed out - on their own independent page, though.
