[edit] Why Oblivion?
You know that sweet, sick, feeling you get when you rush into the void? That euphoric ecstasy of nothingness when your body decays and your soul is almost falling apart? You can feel it, can't you? So close to the wonderful end of it all.
And then the Elder Powers have to stick their fucking noses into it, pull you back down to Valhalla and make you keep fighting. We're toys on strings for them. There's no way out until one of them wins. No glorious death or wonderful silence until one of those cocksuckers can claim he's number one.
So, how do we get out of this? We make sure one of them wins, and fast. We don't care who. We only ally with evil because it's a quicker way out. The more we kill the closer we get, and once there's nothing left then we'll win. The angels and their codes, the humans and their false emotions, the demons and their joy, it will all mean nothing.
So sharpen your claws. Every hunt could be the last.
[edit] Organization
As warriors of entropy, we keep our power structure as loose as possible. New recruits and old members alike are free to work alone or join forces with any of our specialized teams, whether their interests lie in razing the homes of our enemies, crafting and enchanting the tools of chaos, brewing potions to aid our destruction, healing our legions, or simply summoning more pets than you can shake a stick at. Just don't shake a stick at them, or there will be a pet named after your stupidity.
The opportunities are endless, and advancement has a way of finding those who seek it.
[edit] Strike Team
As much as we appreciate the efforts of our support teams, Oblivion Squadron is first and foremost a raiding faction. All of the politicking and sacrificing in the world won't get us out of this festering pisshole in the sky. Our work won't be done until every angel, demon, and nexal alike sleeps quietly in the cold cradle of the void, and to further that end we have consolidated our individual strike teams into one deadly horde.
We raid whomever we please. Although we have a standard policy of making every raid as fun for the our victims as it is for us, we do avoid attacking any particular smaller faction too frequently. Many complain that we should not attack smaller factions at all. We are not extremely sympathetic to these complaints, as we have often had to fight a dozen factions at the same time.
[edit] The Academy of Evil
The Nexus has been marching in circles for months. We have to step it up if we want it all to end. We have therefore created an academy within our ranks to train, equip, and enlighten those who are unfortunate enough to end up here with us. Join Oblivion Squadron and get great advice from some of the most experienced players in the game. If you are unsure what path to follow or just need help refining your build, we can help get you on the path to conquest. And if you're a maxed out character trying to salvage a prior mistake or expand your power even further, get involved in the Training Grounds of Purest Evil, our collaborative badge grinding effort.
[edit] Campaign History
[edit] The Lockson Era
At the start of the Nexus War Oblivion Squadron was the largest and most feared faction in the Nexus. No faction was safe and so the unthinkable happened: they all banded together. Good, Neutral and Evil coming together under one banner (no matter how unlikely and plain silly the idea would normally be) with one mission: destroying us.
Uprooted from our old home at Lockson we regrouped in Purgatorio with one mission in mind: becoming a lean, mean, evil machine. After a period in the wilderness eating locusts and having dramatic and firey visions we returned, smaller but stronger.
[edit] Emerson
Emerson Steel became the new Epicentre of Evil with waves of wild and untamed destruction spreading out to engulf our foes. Putting past enmities aside we agreed to join the The Shining Ones and the Pirates of R'lyeh to form the largest alliance in the game. All the better to bring Hell down upon all our foes: everyone who won't fight with us.
[edit] War with Harmanz!
The RRF decided they were bored and wanted to die a lot, so they started a war with us.
Despite their being unconquered and all other factions living in fear of them, we accepted the challenge and after a long bloody war we were the first faction to take their standard.
Once we had shown that it as doable, other factions decided to have a go, and with OS always at the front we smashed them again and again. Until they begged for mercy. Despite being outnumbered by more than a hundred, we threw ourselves into the war and finally proved that not only were they not as strong as they thought, but that beating them was all rather easy and boring.
[edit] Killing the Dragon
Oblivion Squadron had the largest contingent of any faction involved in the first ever slaying of Elder Fire Tongue.
With the planning of Magi Anonymous, and the hosting of The Dark Oppressor's Guild, and a handful of warriors from other factions, the mighty beast was slain. While people may bicker about who did the most, or who should get all the credit, nobody will deny that it could not have been without the forty-some soldiers of Oblivion who laid waste to the magnificent beast.
[edit] The Foghaven Years
Oblivion grew bored with the ways of Valhalla, looked up towards Purgatory and looked with lust upon a clocktower held by some non-descript angel faction who had laid claim to the little slice of paradise named Foghaven. Oblivion then slaughtered the angels, accepted the fealty of all non-goods in Foghaven who grovelled at Oblivion's feet and settled in to rule the best real estate in Purgatory.
