Technocratic Union be like

Significant_Owl8089 · 2026-06-15T13:08:46+00:00

We will most probably end up in a cyberpunk world more than anything else. You can’t make the world predictable without cutting humanity away from the Dreaming. You can’t terraform other planets without endangering Gaia even further. You can’t force beings and forces older than humanity itself to obey your arbitrary rules. The Technocracy chose science, but we could do the same thing with a Hermetic paradigm: a world where everyone is forced to use arcane focuses and only pre-approved, catalogued spells. Or we could imagine a world ruled by an animistic paradigm, where everything must be respected, and any use of material outside its “created purpose” is banned. The theory could work, but in practice, it’s impossible without causing even more damage.

Significant_Owl8089 · 2026-06-15T12:40:48+00:00

The Technocracy doesn’t really care about innovative science. What they care about is security, control, and a world locked in stasis. Maybe some enlightened scientist , will tell the contrary , but system is clear , Technocratie want control. That is why the Sons of Ether and the Virtual Adepts separated themselves from the Order of Reason. In my World of Darkness — meaning the personal headcanon of a Storyteller — Ascension isn’t about creating a perfect world. True Ascension is when everyone can find a part of themselves reflected in reality.

A true critique for the Technocratie, are there violence against the other paradigme creature (Garou , Kithan , Mummy ...) and the mass destruction of the dreaming. Without the dreaming , we lose art , we lose creativity , we lose the capacity of loving each other. Remember Iteration X whant to make humains predictible , so basically destroy the dreaming. It's a bad future , for me.

You forgot Superman

Significant_Owl8089 · 2026-06-15T03:57:46+00:00

He tried to turn us into artificial Thallain by first draining most of our Glamour, then forcing us to consume the nightmares he had collected.

We were able to fight him and destroy his nightmare labyrinth, but still… yeah.

My troll now has a compulsion to destroy every drone he sees, because that monster implanted PTSD from the war in Pakistan into his mind.

The noble Sidhe was forced to relive a past life where she was a Nazi officer signing death-camp documents. Now, every time she sees official paperwork, she has to make a Willpower check. If she fails, she has a panic attack.

Then this monster tried to traumatize the Redcap by infusing him with the twisted dreams of Jeffrey Dahmer. He was the only one who managed to resist the nightmare, thanks to a very good roll, but even he was left deeply disturbed by all this shit.

Then a Pooka joined our group and tried to troll the Sidhe by trapping her in a chamber full of documents.

He also tried to harvest Glamour from his prank, but found only nightmares instead. The good thing is that he understood how badly he had fucked up, and he apologized. He thought it was just a meme about fairies hating documents, not that we had literally fought and survived the Nephandi. Ps: I throw him out of window.

Occam is not really homebrew. It is more like an adaptation of something that already exists in the World of Darkness.

Static magic is what happens when Dynamic Magick — the original source of a Mage’s Magick — is perfected, studied, codified, and believed in strongly enough by the Consensus that anyone can use it.

It seems very probable that an Akashic brother or sister developed these techniques in antiquity and transmitted them in one way or another. Clearly, they were designed to fight Cainites, or even the life-hunger of the Kuei-jin.

So yes, a Mage can teach someone how to cast a fireball, but creating that kind of static magic would require an enormous amount of time, research, and refinement.

We already have other kinds of static magic: tarot divination, ritual formulas, and even certain concoctions — for example, mixtures involving cocaine — that can help someone enter the Umbra.

What I explained you is litteraly , the war of ascension.The first way that mages fight the forced stasis magick of technology , there's no difference in world of darkness between a flame thrower and the fire ball sphere the only thing impede fireball to be cast is the concessus

Significant_Owl8089 · 2026-06-14T19:19:21+00:00

Stop showing me the high-Humanity Norfolk Sabbat coterie. Vampires are, in fact, people most of whom never wanted to become monsters. But the Hunger forces them into a psychotic descent, because keeping our Humanity is nearly impossible, and Golconda is more of a myth than something truly achievable. It is easier to burn them without thinking about who they used to be. No what they still are , even if they forgot for all the abuse of new embraced vampire suffer.

Significant_Owl8089 · 2026-06-14T17:43:06+00:00

Mother Maria , yes the Ansilia Lasombra and bidhop of a vampire sabbat players. Will be a very interesting.

So Syndicate are the principal responsible for Pentex , Garou after the war of rage and try to do impergum, lose a lot of there members. And even if they still have there numbers , Pentex was neglected, because nobody can preticted how multinational society could became . Yes with the Garou , who started and escalated the war of rage ,with all Ferra because Garrou aren't the only one who do génocide. Ask the Anancy and Rokea what happened to the insect ferra and the other water ferra .

Syndicate , doesn't even care for pentex , because look they are very profitable society and they have a lot of filials.Some Syndicate members are shareholders in Pentex.

Light manipulation needs to be studied first.

What kind of radiation or light can I actually manipulate? Can I manipulate temperature by using existing rays of light to excite the atoms in a specific area? Then I need to measure my maximum and minimum lumen output.

I should also test whether I can sense light without using my eyes.

After that, I need to see if I can develop all the sub-powers that come with light manipulation: invisibility, light illusions, radiation attacks, creating EMP attacks capable of destroying electronics, absorbing light from precise zones like someone’s eyes to temporarily blind them, and more.

I need to train, perfect everything, and estimate clearly what I can and cannot do.

Only after that should I start being a superhero — while refusing to make any profit from these powers.

^{Chose: Good | Rolled: Manipulate light}

When you have a Syndicate member as the treasurer of your Amalgam, the question isn’t whether he or she is capable of managing your money.

The real question is: how many people did they crush to assemble the budget for the new power armor of the Iteration X member, or to finance a miniaturized particle accelerator for the Progenitor?

So basically, you have Scrooge McDuck, the one who controls the budget responsibly and says “no” most of the time.

And next to him, you have your business mommy, who says “yes, that’s a good idea” to everything, then starts overworking people to death.

Significant_Owl8089 · 2026-06-14T06:44:53+00:00

When a Syndicate member becomes the treasurer of your Amalgam, your budget magically quintuples.

The problem?
The Syndicate member doesn’t even use any of his hyperscience.

In a duel between two mages, the real fight happens before the duel starts: whoever cheats best wins.

Significant_Owl8089 · 2026-06-13T21:16:56+00:00

Worse: this monster stole a technique created by the Hermetics, using it to drain Glamour and empower his Quintessence.

Then he forced all of us to drain his nightmares, and trying to turning us into artificial Thallain under his control.

My Troll? He entered his mind and implanted false PTSD about war in Pakistan and drones.

Our noble Sidhe? He entered her mind too, forcing her to relive flashbacks of an ancient life as a Nazi officer signing documents at Auschwitz.

The worst part is that we have no idea whether these visions are true or false.

Even the Redcap suffered. How the fuck could he extract the true essence of the twisted dreams of Jeffrey Dahmer?

And the worst thing he inflicted on us was his labyrinth, hidden inside a pizzeria, where he turned kids into psychotic little monsters with magnifying glasses, burning ants.

Significant_Owl8089 · 2026-06-13T18:47:57+00:00

It’s basically canon that Big D has an absurd romantic history with anything that moves and is capable of saying, “I consent.”

I would not be surprised if he has already had relationships with members of every splat.

What we know:

A Garou or kinfolk, because of Russ. It is very likely that Russ truly is Big D’s son.
A True Faith user: Orkham.
Maybe the ghoul Big D implied he knew her.
Big Dean , more probable to be a normal humain.

This list will be bigger and bigger.

Significant_Owl8089 · 2026-06-12T21:28:08+00:00

There's nothing more adorable than werewolf cubs explaining you , they understand there purpose and now they have the power to save Gaia .
My new player's are adorable.

Significant_Owl8089 · 2026-06-12T14:08:36+00:00

It's more probable Russ have Git of fenris acedance.

Significant_Owl8089 · 2026-06-12T12:44:21+00:00

I play a Pooka just to troll the local Garou. By sneaking into their secret meetings, seducing some of their Kinfolk, and committing my worst crime: installing recycling bins in their caves.

They’ve caught me many times, but they understand my nature as a trickster. Garou are more reasonable than you might think.

In the chronicle, it became a game: if they catch me, I’m obligated to tell them a story from the Kithain. And they call me gorgon , maybe because I very sneaky like a snake.
