Headquarters: Varies, meeting locations rotate.
Preferred Contact: Please get in contact via @ in the villain plots channel.
Description: Pantheon is the name of an alliance of villains brought together by a single common interest; networking and supporting one another. The members of the organization all have access to the ENKI Network and actively use it in their activities. They regularly communicate through it, sell goods, share information, assist in one another's nefarious schemes, and sometimes even engage in friendly rivalries and competitions. The members of Pantheon are not beholden to a single ideology, believing that villains are not monolithic.
Instead, the organization is broken up into Courts that is lead by an individiual who also happens to be one of the administrators of the ENKI system. Each of these Courts is thematically represented by a different type of polytheistic religion and the members of the courts like to take on monickers that represent the various gods of those religions. These pseudonyms are entirely cosmetic and used internally or to help confuse heroes/police, they do not under any circumstances replace a villains chosen codename. These Courts each serve a different role in supporting the Villain Network and between their personal plots and machinations perform these roles as an occupation, going as far as getting paid by the organization to do their work.
It should be known that the Courts of Pantheon do not always get along and there are many gray areas between them. Each Court may have its own driving mission statement, philosophy, or outlook on society. They work together out of necessity and a common belief in the effectiveness of the system rather than because they genuinely like one another (though they may very well respect one another). Often times members of courts will bounce between the various groups, picking up double or even triple duty depending on the needs of Pantheon.
The individuality in the organization makes it strong, so it goes without saying, what happens when the leaders of each court agree unanimously? If that ever happens, heaven help us all.
Joining: Pantheon Members are exclusively villains and users of the ENKI system. Without access to the system, joining is impossible. Getting access is fairly easy, one must simply befriend an existing user of the system and be invited into the organization. A background check will be run by the various intelligence groups within Pantheon to check for dangerous ties to heroes and police. Afterwards, an ENKI packet will be sent out and the villain will be welcomed by Pantheon with open arms. From there they can work their way up through their chosen Court. It should be known that each Court handles its membership, rules, and hierarchy differently though generally speaking the heirarchy matches their roles in the ENKI system.
Adding a new Court: It is possible for a high level villain to play a role in adding a new court/branch to the faction. Details will be handled OOCly before a plot is created IC to see to the birth of the new portion.
The Heavenly Court - Generalists - The court themed after various pre-classical myths and the western Zodiac (which originated in sumeria/babylon), lead by the co-founder and 'mother' of the ENKI System, Ishtar, is tasked predominantly with supporting and coordinating other villains, acting as the brains to Asgard's hands. Some are craftsmen or engineers that have been drawn in by Ishtar's offerings of access to cutting edge technology and resources. Others respect her raw power and have great abilities of their own. The group is varied in strengths and specific abilities. Ishtar looks after the members of her court carefully and acts like a mother to them. She is notably a strict leader and taskmaster, expecting greatness from the people she invites into her inner circle. The organization's philosophy focuses on serving villainy as a whole and taking advantage of the ecosystem created by the hero vs villain conflict.
Halls of Asgard - Problem Solvers - Taking after the myths of early medieval Scandinavia & Central Europe and lead by the co-founder (and developer) of the ENKI System, Loki, this Court is dedicated to providing a wide variety of services for other villains and offering more practical assistance. Many are combatants, hackers or infiltrators drawn together by the promise of steady work and a veritable armory courtesy of Loki. The Asgardians are less the brain of ENKI's network and more its hands, providing the brute force necessary to crack security systems, tear down defenses, access discreet information and (most importantly) protect against or hunt down Heroes who may interfere. Loki is less a leader of this dynamic crew and more its handler, making sure all weapons are distributed where they will be most useful. (Contact BlueJay about joining the Asgardian Court.)
