Conspiracies
There is one conspiracy so great is can bring down the moon, so brilliant it burns even the worthy as it makes them pure, and so terrible that darkness quells from it and sorrow seems, at times, its mate.This conspiracy is called love.
Regarding the game, there are a lot of conspiracies running around, from good to bad to utterly indifferent. The following exist at present:
Aces: Street gangs in cells of 5-6, recruited from the military (the top 2% of whom tend to be Aces, hence easy recruitment). They believe Aces are humanity 2.0, and they wish to eliminate Omegas, whom they see as a threat to the world they will inherit.
Black Chamber: A conspiracy so secret that members cannot normally mention it. Recruits weirder omegas, often after saving them from mobs, though recent evidence shows at least one member has been trying to cause said mob events in order to produce more loyal recruits. (As Kami pointed out, Claire did such a horrible job of that that she clearly hadn't done it before, much to Damien's relief.)
Choir: A branch of the Illuminati existing now, whose goal is to destroy demons (aka weird Omegas). Attacked S.A.F.E. once, and had no problem killing bystanders, which is apparently unusual for them. Very militant and hard-core.
CFR: The Council on Foreign Relations is a non-partisan think tank in the US based around international relations and, in reality, about how nations deal with Omegas as the new superpower and if nations should catalogue their Omegas, grade them and trade them etc. in order to preserve the current balance of power.
Doctor D: A drug-runner in the city who has managed to hide from conspiracies, vigilantes and Trevor to take. Guards shipments using power armour Damien referred to as 'edgetech', which Trevor had never even heard of. Probably not a conspiracy in himself, but obviously funded by several.
Dream: A conspiracy whose goal is to make finer worlds by connecting humans, alphas, and omegas into a shared understand of their larger role within the biosphere. Uses the word 'Gaia' a lot but seems convinced everyone should be on the same side since they all live on the same world.
The Guild: Not a conspiracy, as such, but various families of Omegas whose talent is passed down and whose members develop it, often during puberty. They generally have only one ability but are very, very good at using it and tend to tread omegas without lineage as lesser beings. Often mired in their politics in the Old World.
The Illuminati (original): The big one, so big it hid behind that name. A telepathic conspiracy of at least 2,500 years to keep humans unaware of Omegas (aka angels and demons, to them). The rise of scientific understanding -- and questions about omegas and genetics -- coupled with the growing thought that they could do a lot more than just put out fires, led to some Event five years ago that broke the organization, killing many members and sundering it.
Unless, of course, it did not.
The Illuminati (current): Still exists, mostly telepaths who are trying to keep a lid on Weird stuff and each other. Further goals, desires and so forth are unknown, as is how effective they are at all.
IRS: It`s only natural.
Majestic 13: A group of government-sponsored superhumans (12 in total) who deal with various problems and crises. Military-trained, work well as a unit and not to be underestimated.
r2-45: Government conspiracy whose goal is to catalogue and study all Omegas. They tend to brand them like animals and have several agents (called splies) who are made from skin samples of several omegas and legally not persons. Involved in hiding Omegas from the world, which has become more their primary goal following the collapse of the Illuminati.
