The World of Darkness games had a very good way of explaining common differences and outlooks between monster species and factions. Each group entry had a pentagon-like diagram connected by arrows, showing what they thought of the other groups with one word sentences written from an in-character perspective. I decided to do the same thing for factions in Eclipse Phase, minus the diagram. Given the sheer number, I'm restricting my choices a bit for the entries, about 5 or so. [b]Anarchists[/b] Extropians: “How can you call yourself an anarchist when you support hierarchy in the workplace?” Planetary Consortium: “The worst excesses of capitalist exploitation. The world would be better off without them.” Scum: “Hedonism is all well and good, but surely it’s not the only thing worth living for?” Titanians: “Humane in comparison to the Planetary Consortium, but even a Socialist State is still a State.” Ultimates: “Social Darwinism, eugenics, aggressive militarism, nothing good could come out of this.” [b]Exhumans[/b] Anarchists: “Forcing everybody to be equal makes them as strong as the weakest link.” Bioconservatives: “What do you call the one who rejects the medicine that saves a life?” Mercurials: “They are right to reject human norms, but even then they are as weak as they.” Scum: “Sex, drugs, and other biological pleasures are fleeting compared to the ecstasy that is the Singularity.” Ultimates: “They are so close to realization, and yet so hampered by their ties to humanity!” [b]Extropians[/b] Anarchists: "How can a society be truly free when ambition is sacrificed for the good of the collective?" Barsoomian Movement and Morningstar Constellation: "I might not agree with a lot of their ideals, but I support their right for voluntary autonomy. The Consortium's denial of this shows their true colors." Jovian Republic: "They think that liberty and security is a zero-sum game, but we're doing just fine. If anything their oppressive system hurts their own people far more than it protects them." Planetary Consortium: "Don't let their free market talk fool you. When you combine big business and big government you get fascism." Ultimates: "They talk tough, but they're just as willing to accept our money as anyone else." [b]Jovian Republic[/b] Anarchists: “Winston Churchill said that the best argument against democracy is five minutes with the average voter. Same principle applies for leaderless societies.” Argonauts: “They put the lives of our agents in danger and create societal discord, all in the name of spreading knowledge and education.” Planetary Consortium: “They are powerful, true, but their pursuit of wealth at the expense of the nation-state hemorrhages their efforts.” Reclaimers: “I completely sympathize with the desire to take back humanity’s homeworld. Unfortunately this is not going to happen anytime soon, if ever.” Ultimates: “An Exhuman by any other name.” [b]Mercurials[/b] Anarchists: “A fine idea and leagues better than what we got in the inner system, but it doesn’t really work for us more territorial species.” Argonauts: “They’re invaluable for educating others about our plight, even if they approach things with that creepy ‘detached professor’ sort of vibe.” Planetary Consortium: “You grant us sapience, yet you still cage us as property. Your society will never be free until we all are.” Scum: “Hey fuckface, it’s really creepy when you do that whole ‘exploring non-human sexuality’ shit!” Ultimates: “You realize you can’t be individualists when your rhetoric is used to restrict reproductive and morphological freedoms?” [b]Planetary Consortium[/b] Anarchists and Scum: “Terrorists, criminals, they’d destroy all we worked for if given the opportunity.” Barsoomian Movement and Morningstar Constellation: “They want independence and autonomy, but where would they be without us?” Jovian Republic: “When it comes to fighting the Autonomists, people say that the enemy of my enemy is my friend, but our relationship proves the exception to this rule.” Lunar-Lagrange Alliance: “Good allies to have in these troubled times. Now if only they’d stop looking to the past.” Titanian Commonwealth: “They might seem progressive and inoffensive on the surface, but do not underestimate them. Titan’s the true major power of the outer system, and they’re unafraid to expand their hegemony.” [b]Scum[/b] Anarchists: “They got a lot of the right ideas; now if only they’d take that stick out of their collective asses.” Criminals: “A lot of them are victims of circumstance and have no other choice, but many are also just as much victimizers as the governments and corporations. Extropians: “Such silly people. The still think that money can buy happiness.” Jovian Republic: “Fascists.” Planetary Consortium: “Fascists in business suits and ties.” [b]Ultimates[/b] Anarchists: “Resilient and adaptable, but then again so are cockroaches.” Exhumans: “They understand the need to improve upon transhuman weaknesses, but they mistake enslavement to the TITANs as ultimate freedom. They of all people should know better.” Planetary Consortium and Extropians: “You believe that your money gives you power over us?” Jovians: “Their emphasis on discipline and martial spirit is admirable, but rejection of modern technology will lead to their downfall.” Mercurials: “They are on the right track, but infighting hampers their cause.”
