Faction alignment: Autobot
Background
Where it was created: Cybertron, by ProwlTime Created: Civil War
History: Cover Story: The Diplomatic Corps are an organisation that tries to persuade other people and races to support the Autobot cause. Most of them are calm, polite, and non-threatening. They sign things and follow things up and don't usually enter battle. They do tend to know a lot about people but they're paper-pushers with access to many records, so why wouldn't they?
Reality:
When the Wreckers became famous, Prowl recognised that it impeded their ability to carry out a real investigation. So he created the Diplomatic Corps. They also come in handy for covering up whenever he's screwed up.
The Corps usually work independantly and don't always know who is another Diplomatic Corp, but they do know what it actually means. There is no set pattern for their personalities but under whatever cover they're maintaining, they're usually pretty devious assholes.
A Diplomatic Corp can be Official or Unofficial. An 'Official' Corp is authorised to admit they are DC to anybody - not because they are higher-ranking but because they can perpetuate the illusion that all DC are quiet and non-threatening paper-pushers. The 'Unofficial' is only allowed to admit it to those who they have on authority are DC. They are 'Unofficial' because they are too loud, obnoxious or violent to perpetuate the stereotype.
Size: The Corps do not work in large teams as this would make them too obvious. They work in sets of one or two, befitting whatever their current mission is.
The active members of the DC number will be limited.
Ranking
Leader: Prowl. Although he has no actual official links to the group and is almost impossible to contact, he will contact you (this is currently you giving yourself missions)Ranks: More like technical terms:
* Official: Anybody who is authorised to call themselves 'Diplomatic Corps'.
* Unofficial: Anybody who isn't authorised to call themselves 'Diplomatic Corps'.
* Diplomats: Their job is to wipe inconvenient memories and implant the 'right' ideas.
* Dishonourable Dischargers: Their job is to locate Autobots who betrayed the cause and execute them.
* Assessors: They look for potential defectors.
* Councillors: They talk to potential converts to the Autobot cause.
* Paper-pushers: They hunt for incompetence and corruption within the Autobot ranks.
How to join faction: The theory is that your character can have been a DC for some time and not have brought it up. However, old characters can (at this time) only be 'Unofficial' ranking. Go to the Chat and talk to Whirl about it for advice on working undercover.
Race: Cybertronians
Assets
Base Location ( If any ): Now why would a Black Ops crew have a specific base of locations that could be tracked down?
Current Assets (If any): If you're a member of the Corps, everything you own belongs to the Corps. However you will be equipped with a Nudge Gun.
