[QUOTE="Stormonu, post: 8269123, member: 52734"] I wouldn't worry about the population. The Dark Powers might be doing something akin to Dark City - the city itself is a fraud and the inhabitants are mere shadow puppets or simulacrum that go about a mockery of their daily life. Only a small part of the population is truly alive, and it these individuals that are the focus of the horror story, and against whom the Dark Lord moves against. Overall, this domain gives me ideas for an anti-Vendetta/Sherlock Holmes From the Shadows sort of realm. It's a London-like setting, and as you mentioned, there is an undercurrent of corruption in the halls of power - a secret cabal known as the Sable Mole infects the ambivalent halls of power and conducts abhorrent rites and practices on the populace, simply because they have the power to do so. None outside the government know of the cabal's existance, and those within either are a part, do not believe or do not know it exists or are too frightened to move against it. Secretly moving against them is The Revolutionary. A black-clad individual who wears a stark white sneering mask, favoring the night-clad streets of the city. The favored weapon of the Revolutionary is a pair of radiant dueling blades and is reputed to have the ability to appear and disappear into the shadows. The Revolutionary and his small band of agents are wanted for crimes across the city, but anyone delving into those "crimes" learns that the interference thwarts the criminal activities of the cabal in power. Yet, at the same time, many of The Revolutionary's acts results in the maiming or deaths of innocents lured into the machinations of the power cabals acts. The truth is somewhat disconcerting. While it is true that the cabal in power consists of vampiric doppelganger lords and their werewolf bodyguards, it is The Revolutionary who is the true Dark Lord. It was the Revolutionary who started the sect and created the first doppleganger lord, but was ousted from power. Now, the Revolutionary strikes against the plots of its creation, but does not care about the innocents that are caught in the crossfire of their actions. [/QUOTE]
