Terrorists

When one thinks of Renegades, these wraiths are truly the image it conjures. Fanatics who are willing to face any obstacle in order to bring down the local Citadel. The fight is constant, the fight is all, and these wraiths embody this. Yet there is more to them than the fight. There is a passionate vision of something better.

Common Arcanoi
Due to the constant struggle and need for fresh weapons, Outrage and Inhabit are the most commonly found. Both are used at the highest of skill level, for an incompetent Terrorist ends up as a tasteful desk accessory.

Methods
Many of these methods involve violence and are fairly direct and simple. It's in the application that's unique.

Ambush- This method involves getting your target into a situation that is unfavorable to them, but favorable to you. This is very violent and usually ends with one side being sent to a harrowing.
What it will get you- If it works you will have one less patrol to worry about. If it backfires, you will be destroyed or soul-forged.

Assassination- Usually the Subversives handle this, but when one is not available, Terrorists feel more than competent in using this tactic against a particularly hated official.
What it will get you- If successful, it will rid you of an agent of the Hierarchy. It will also mean that an enormous amount of pressure will be put on the Renegades as the Hierarchy will begin searching for the assassin. If it backfires, you will be destroyed no questions asked.

Supply lines- The destruction of supply or communication lines are one of the most devastating methods a Cell can use against a Necropolis. This usually requires a wellplaced spy on the inside.
What it will get you- If successful it will cause confusion, and demoralization of a Necropolis. If caught, you will be sent to the forges.

Byway Robbery- Fighting a monolithic government is expensive, and this method helps pay the cost. It is an easy way to acquire oboli, weapons, and other goods. Cells who use this method are called Robins.
What it will get you- Oboli, weapons, and goods. Also a fair price on one's head.

The makeup of a Cell
Many Cells are made up of diverse elements and each lend their unique talents and skills to the fight against the Hierarchy. Some Cells are very specialized and concentrate on only one or two methods of fighting. Some Cells take a militaristic view of their Cell and organize it accordingly. It generally goes along with the views of the leader and how well he leads his Cell. A bad leader won't stay leader for very long.

Beliefs
The Terrorists believe that the Hierarchy is too corrupt and vile to serve and govern. While there may be an uncorrupted official somewhere, it is only a matter of time before even he succumbs. The Terrorists feel that they must tear down the whole of the Hierarchy . When this is done they shall create a better government, one that realizes the worth of the individual.

Guild Affiliation
The Artificers and the Spooks find these Renegades great breeding grounds for talented wraiths. They manipulate these wraiths to destroy enemies of their respective guilds. The Artificers support Terrorists by teaching them to forge weapons, and oboli with which to lend to the great fight. The Spooks instruct them on their particular Arcanos and offer advise on tactics and stratagems. While some Terrorists do not like the idea of being allied with guilds, it's hard to turn down weapons, and oboli.

Famous Cells-

The Collins gang- This cell is made up of five men who were once on their way to the forges. They escaped together and decided to fight together against those who would enslave others.

Hellbent- These wraiths rebel because the know of no other lifestyle. Made up of gang bangers, and bikers, they roam the Shadowlands looking for a good fight.

The United Front- This rather large cell(thirty members) have been trying for the past decade, to unite all renegades. They have met with little success.

Famous Terrorist

John Collins During the twenties, John was a simple farmer with a large farm. When the Stock Market crash occurred John lost everything. He, in a fit of despair, put a shotgun to his head. When he awoke, he found himself being chained up and walking toward a forge. He didn't like the looks of this and asked what was happening. When he was told he was to be forged, John made up his mind to never give up again. He lashed out at his captors and a riot began. He and four other escaped together and now he leads them in the fight against the new governor of the New York Nec.

Views of the Terrorists

Idealists- "They claim to have a message. That would be fine if anyone cared. They don't understand that the average Joe Hierarchy would rather soul-forge you than listen to that message."

Subversives- "Sneaky bastards. We have a lot in common, but if they had to fight out in the open, they'd be worthless."

The Hierarchy- "Maybe they had noble intentions once, but no longer. Even Rome fell, they will too."

The Heretics- "Sick freaks. Give them some space cause when they come calling, it's time to be somewhere else."
