Paradox
From NexusWiki
Well it serves me right for reading too many books in Copernicus Library. Our Dear Leader has given me the onerous task of being the chronicler for our faction; Paradox.
Yes, while they are off smiting evil and overcoming adversity, I am overcoming my disdain of having to write. Alas, I knew my beloved fellow Paradoxians would tire of my chainsaw training in the stronghold, and so it cameth to pass.
OK. The prologue.

[edit] The Prologue
Paradox is a good faction that many may remember from Urban Dead. We had the honour of protecting the innocent, holding the malls and forts against those evil ikky shuffling things. Some say we did a great job, others mumbled something like HHHHhNNNGGGAAAA, so we cannot take their jibberish for anything other than it was, rubbish. Now it is well known that we all got bored and left, but what people do not realise was that we had a higher calling; to fight for righteousness and justice in the Nexus War.
So who are we?
[edit] The Paradox
Well, we are a faction that defends those who cannot defend themselves and ally with those who fight for the good side in the endless struggle against evil and chaos. We make a point of attacking only those who are evil and accept those members who are neutral and good (but who have a leaning towards righteous and just actions). On those grounds we should be judged ourselves, for good or for ill. But do not think us weak; while it is true that we are not as strong as we were in our heyday in Malton, we continue to increase in numbers and have a strong alliance with various other good factions which can aid us (as we them) when need arises.
[edit] Faction Ranks
Paradox has a ranking system that heralds and harks to its roots. All members are expected to give daily offerings to the God of Thunder and Rock and Roll; However an offering of a good old evil smiting is enough in the war against evil.
- Carthade: This is our lowest rank. The Carthade is the hand of our faction. With his hand fully gripping his weapon, the Carthade Ranks makes up the footsoldier of the faction.
- Ideological Crusaders: Our NCO's. The IC Ranks are expected to go out and spread the word of the God of Thunder and Rock and Roll's message with the [insert weapon of choice] and the Codex (Event Commands Guide). However, our prechings have been some what drowned out in our vast smiting of evil. But the word shall be known and spread in time.
- Knowledged Tacticians: Our Officers. Our Tacticians plan our military expeditions with brutal efficiency unsurpassed (well, except for Willy the Conker and a few others who's ID I can't remember).
- Grey Eminence: Our Dear Leader. He knows all, a savant and oracle of wisdom. Many come from all over St. Germaine to plumb the depths of his great brain (we have to keep telling them to stop doing it literally, it makes a right stain on the carpet - so from now on, axes are not to be taken into the Iron Heart Chamber, leave them at the door please)
[edit] Friends
To many to mention, no really its true. Whether they know that or not is entirely irrelevent to this erm chronicle, however we do have close ties to Acta Sanctorum as well as a few other well-known large good groups.
[edit] Enemies
To many to men... no wait. Blast wheres the tipex when you want it. We have a few factions we really do not like:
- The Labyrinth - Not sure who these people are, I have never met one, so maybe they got lost in their stronghold somewhere.
- Soldiers of Duath - I have never met this Duath fellow but I hear he is a pretty nasty fellow.
- Pirates of R'lyeh - All raise your hands who these annoying little buggers haven't annoyed....hmm, not many. Yes we are determined to wipe their tentacled faces into Angels doo-doo and I dare say many others hold our beliefs here as well.
- The Wild Hunt - Came into our stronghold and crapped on the carpet and stole our popcorn. However we managed to follow their stench back to their hovel and reclaimed what was ours. We even put up some curtains in the place too I hear, the decor was awful.
- The Infernal Horde - We are fundamentally opposed to these guys, so naturally they are on our 'to smite' list.
[edit] Contact

make yourself grow by three inches and impress the ladies, join The Paradox; a free cheesy grin to all new recruits guarenteed.
Under construction until the chronicler knows what he is doing.
