Can overcome disadvantages and win in a fistfight, gunfight or full scale interstellar war. Unorthodox and unpredictable, yet capable of understanding, anticipating and outmaneuvering opponents. Multidimensional thinker, tactical genius. (4) Ender Wiggin - Commander of Armed Forces Now, just imagine what he could do with Xanatos funneling him money, resources, and experts in fields such as robotics, genetics, magic, etc. Also has the scientific and technical expertise to develop mobile factories that deploy in seconds, and can build a complete military base within minutes, using whatever raw materials happen to be in the vicinity. Was able to manipulate a technologically advanced alien empire into sending an understrength force at a time of Kane's choosing, drive said alien army off Earth while simultaneously fighting the GDI, and ultimately was able to reverse-engineer or gain control of much of their technology, including a system for interstellar teleportation. When the brown stuff hits the fan, you can count on Xanatos to have either already planned for it, adapt and overcome it, or at least to be able to salvage something and prevent a setback from becoming a catastrophe.Ĭan take poisonous green rocks, wasteland mutants and desperate Red Zone survivors, and build a global superpower. Also willing and able to learn from mistakes and setbacks. Even if someone manages to stop him from accomplishing his primary objective (or what appears to be his primary objective), he's usually able to use the "failure" to accomplish one or more secondary objectives. He's just that good at running his various businesses and managing finances. (2) David Xanatos - Vice President and/or TreasurerĬan invest billions in moving a Scottish castle brick-by-brick across the Atlantic and rebuilding it on top of his own private skyscraper, fund various secret science/tech projects, and even get sent to prison, yet never run out of money. Just a well-rounded ruler to hold everything together and keep it running smoothly.
Has kept his territory safe from supernatural threats and foreign invasion attempts.
Experienced at managing and/or quashing internal intrigue. Able to get mutually antagonistic people and factions to work together. Some may coordinate and cooperate, but it's not the default.Ī consummate politician. Some of them will be the leaders of smaller nations in your empire's way, others will be high-tier administrators of rival empires, others still will try to infiltrate it's bureaucracy, build internal crime syndicates, organize revolutions, or make attempts on your leaders. Other people will be mostly in character but with an intense enough dislike for your country to at least actively make an honest attempt to harm it. You may assign initial posts for them, including the post of supreme leadership. They may interpret that in their own ways tho. The people you choose will be mostly in character but loyal to the empire and it's continuing existence and prosperity. It doesn't strictly have to be an empire - could be a republic, federation, etc. Instead, you are just a respected upper class citizen with a stake in empire's long-term survival and prosperity. You don't rule over your empire (a mercy, because that wouldn't likely end well for most of us). Basically, powers shouldn't play higher role in selection than administrative skills, character, intellect, etc. They can be very strong or even technically impossible in setting but no blowing up planets unless galactic scale and no unrestricted conceptual manipulation unless there is some possible counterplay to it. I think these guidelines do make the scenario more fun, though)Įach character's supernatural powers are toned down to the general power level of your empire's setting, if necessary.
