SOVEREIGN TECHNOLOGIES

THE REIGNING INNOVATORS OF PAST, PRESENT, & FUTURE

Sovereign Technologies is an international megacorporation at the top of the billion dollar technology, support gear, and medical equipment industry. They were established generations prior to the advent of Quirks, but adapted to the new landscape as superhuman powers became the new norm. Many of their contracts are with the government, but private investors with enough money also have ties to the company and their products.

Many people have at least one device or gadget in their homes or on their person that come from Sovereign Technologies making them a well-known household name. However, public scrutiny of the business came about at the end of the year 2096 when tests of a sleep apnea device from their branch in the United States caused mass casualties due to an undetected defect — including the CEO of the entire company, Kushiki Suki. The company paid out settlement after settlement in reparations to those that lost loved ones and the position of CEO was transferred back to the previous head of Sovereign Technologies, Kushiki Kazoku, while he trained the person next in line to take over, Kushiki Kioko. Due to events within the family, but outside the company, the title has instead been passed to Kazoku's youngest and only living child, Kushiki Suigetsu in the summer of 2097. Things have been uneventful since then outside of a few employees going missing in the year 2099. These missing person events have been deemed to not be connected by both the police and the company.

The main headquarters for Sovereign Technologies are located in Tokyo Bay as part of its varied industrial landscape. Its offices are spread out over an interconnected compound of structures representing the different parts of the business. These include Support Gear, Medical, Wares, Military, and R&D. Non-tech based sides of Sovereign Technologies includes Merchandising, Marketing, Security, Import/Export, and Legal. It is almost a miniature city until itself. Each edifice is designed and outfitted appropriately for their designated area of expertise, but the cohesive aesthetic embraces a sleek modern minimalism fused with extremely high-tech amenities.

OOC Notes: People are welcome to use Sovereign Technology as the placeholder manufacture in their profiles on the gear at creation or as the manufacture for day-to-day tech products they interact with in the world. They may also say that they intern for the company if they are students or say they work for the company if they are not. This does include Villains. However, you must have the relevant skills necessary to be hired, pass a background check on your Civilian identity, and conduct yourself properly while employed there or you would be fired. Please notify me should you choose to do this. You may also use the main offices as a location for your threads. However, you may not participate in violent acts or damage the property in any way and if you want to do more than slice-of-life, such as stealing information, getting someone else access to the grounds, or anything of that nature, you must ask me first. I also ask that you tag me in the first post of any thread taking place there so I can include anything of relevance from the thread in the lore going forward as this is a very prominent location and company to my character. If you have questions about things such as additional descriptions/NPCs or if you do want to do something beyond slice-of-life, please reach out to me on Discord (Samyah).
