Happy to volunteer the Fisherman and Evie if it's not too late to join in the fun. This will be an alternate timeline for my two, as I have other... plans for them.

The Fisherman
Age: By 2038, probably somewhere north of 300.
Faction: Loyalist (in spirit, at least)
Fate: Left the PPC after the schism became irreparable and his partner, Evie, threw in with the Efficients. Would probably wander the multiverse doing entirely inadvisable things unless he happened across something relating to the war - if so, he'd support the Loyalists if he could be of use. Evie 'going to the dark side' would play on his mind, and he'd probably regret not staying and trying to convince her to change her mind.


Evie
Age: Around 50, visually still mid-twenties. (Cyborgs are a poor target market for anti-ageing products! :P)
Faction: Efficients, initially...
Fate: Given her cybernetic heritage and general desire for efficiency, Evie was only too happy to support the DoE. Even her long-suffering long-time partner couldn't convince her that what they were planning was a Bad Idea. However, once things developed and she became more aware of how they worked, she regretted this decision. 'Efficiency just isn't any fun,' I can imagine her thinking. I somehow imagine her hacking the DoE's systems and causing a little chaos before defecting, but that's just my personal head-canon (that said, use it if you want!). She'd be rather disappointed that Fish was still 'wandering'...


So yes, both of them in a situation they'd rather not be due to the wonders of poor communication. Feel free to adapt and tweak as you see fit - as I said this'll be an AU. :)

If you want to make use of them again.

Seems like you've got a lot more on the Loyalist side at the moment, so I'll put Skeet and Amy forward for the Efficients this time around. Skeet would be just over 50, and Amy would be about 40.

I leave their fate in your capable hands. However, if anything were to happen to Amy, Skeet would seek retribution.

Cadmar
Age: 47
Faction: Loyalist
Notes: She is firmly against having the somewhat escapist life become some uniform job, she also would be quite aware of her fragility compared to her vampire and immortal partners. While she’d have no problem with the brutality of the conflict, she’d really just prefer some nice life.

Maria Nightingale:
Age: 52
Faction: Loyalist
Notes: Would fight tooth and nail, literally, for keeping the usual structure of things. She prefers the freedom to fool around, even if they get in trouble. While initially vehement to the cause, prolonged fighting over the years, with no end in sight, would wear her out.


Mark Sienna
Age: 157
Faction: Loyalist.
Notes: While he prefers Efficiency’s methods on missions, he would much rather just up sticks and leave altogether, though he’d stick with Maria and Cadmar. While he isn’t in much danger of dying, he’s paranoid enough about capture or things worse that he would always be trying to convince the other two to simply disappear into the Word Worlds somewhere.

For their fates, I’ll leave it ultimately up to you. I've left info on how far they are willing to go for the cause, and how they all rather prefer how lax it was before. I figured this would be interesting enough, focusing on some agents who are half-hearted on the issue.

Doom/Gloom
Age: 33
Faction: N/A
Notes: With nowhere she would feel more at home, she would stay in the PPC despite the war. Due to the fact she is a non-corporeal ghost, she can’t fight, or be killed off (minus magic, or exorcism, I suppose). She would most likely remain neutral in the matter, neither minding a more efficient way of doing thing, nor disliking the current way things are. She would simply wander (or haunt~) the halls, and try to lead help to any injured she finds. Preferably to their own faction, of course. Any little thing she can do to help people counts, after all.

Some of their fates have been left vague. Feel free to play with those if you like.

Danny Richardson
Age: 53
Faction: None.
Fate: His wounds combined with mental stress drove him to retire the PPC many years before. After hearing about the conflict, he goes into hiding.

Laura Dukes
Age: 50
Faction: Loyalist, but barely. While she has no love for Sues, she likes authoritarian murderers even less. Her methods are brutal enough to give her peers pause, however, and could eventually mean trouble. It should be noted that by this point that she has become more obviously cybernetic: robotic legs, two electronic eyes, glowing spots/lines under her artificial skin, and so on.
Fate: Still fighting. Will likely keep fighting until the very end.

James Pittman
Age: 63
Faction: Efficiency. He was always a strong believer in law and order. Seeing his home canon (XCOM) lost to mind-controlling monsters only hardened his outlook. Despite his age, he continues to take to the field with his sniper rifle.
Fate: Uncertain. He'd likely keep fighting unless killed or defeat was certain. At that point, he'd vanish into the Word Worlds and go MIA.

Xericka
Age: Appears to be in her late twenties, apart from a streak of grey in her hair.
Faction: Loyalist. She considered joining Efficiency, but her loyalty to Gremlin and her children well outstrips any she has towards faction politics. She and Gremlin would also be married at this point, although it might be different in this universe. She does not work on the front lines.
Fate: She would likely survive. Should anything happen to Gremlin or her kids, then she will attempt to make the survivors leave before abandoning the effort altogether and vanishing into the shadows.

Gremlin
Age: 45
Faction: Loyalist. She's not a fan of wanton murder or strict control. Gremlin is definitely more action-oriented in this future. She uses her power like in the old, gang-member days: breaking, entering, and hacking.
Fate: She might survive, but her role could potentially put her in the line of danger more than once. Call it 60-40 in favor of her living.

Aiden Nil
Age: 27
Faction: Loyalist, but barely. The conflict is wearing the young firebender ragged. He only stays out of loyalty to his sister, Emma.
Fate: He would likely survive, but it wouldn’t take all that much for Aiden to desert the PPC altogether.

Emma Nil
Age: 21
Faction: Loyalist. Emma has a bit of a hero complex. She sees the Efficiency’s actions as monstrous and is looking to take them down.
Fate: Could go either way. She could survive, but her recklessness and stubbornness could just as easily get her killed.
Notes: Emma has not had any appearances yet. She is a rescuee from a Kim Possible pregnancy badfic. She has auburn hair and can generate green energy blasts from her hands.

Rachel Calendar
Age: 43
Faction: None.
Fate: Rachel and much of the DIAU went MIA as tensions began to rise. No one knows where they went or what they are doing.

ESAS would be on the Loyalist side. They're pretty proud about being able to take down superpowered Sues by themselves and would view the DACE as upstarts.

Logan would be (does the maths) 52, although he'd probably look a bit younger. http://ppc.wikia.com/wiki/Logan for details.
His babyface annoys him now, but he'll come to appreciate it in future years, no doubt. He'd be a survivor.

Riboflavin would still be around and would be a survivor too. I never got around to creating a wiki article for him, but he's basically a recruited character replacement of Charlie Weasley, if that helps with characterisation. He'd be around 50 by then as well.

Aegis would have retired by then.

Alagos and Iodin would have deserted and run off to be together.

Kern is MIA, presumed dead.

Elcalion

Curious what you mean, there. How do you plan for this to be the canon future for your people but not necessarily for everyone else's? Especially since you have rather a lot of characters.

I have to think on the cameos, so can I email you with a list at some point instead of making a gigantic post? :P

You're welcome to kill anyone off.

Vania will be forty-seven, allied with the Loyalists. Still missing her memories from before she met Doc, she's desperate to restore things to the old PPC, without being entirely sure why . . .

Doc is fifty-three, allied with the Efficient. Doc likes structure and has an increased sense of fulfillment in the greater number of missions he's completing. Without Vania's guidance, his moral compass may be in danger of slipping away . . .

Séverine and Yoof will be um, older. I have no plans to age Yoof past his puppy personality, so you can keep that the same for simplicity. They are allied with the Efficient, as the more controlled and rigid missions go a long way towards ensuring agents' safety. But Séverine is first and foremost dedicated to Yoof's protection, and if the less-than-stellar performance of her partner puts him on the Efficient's chopping block, she may do something truly drastic . . .

Man, I want to be able to sit down and write again. Feels like the whole community is out-pacing me. :(

I hope this is okay, since I haven't posted any of their missions yet.

Michael Green
Faction: Loyalist, to the bitter end. He'd give his life to defend any innocent.
Age: Forty-two. Getting on, but in good shape still.
Fate: He survives, but he's hardened, and he's hiding a lot of pain due to the fates and choices of my other two.

Molly Green
Faction: Loyalist, like her twin brother, Michael.
Age: The same.
Fate: KIA; took the shot meant for Michael, and died in his arms.

Mia
Faction: Efficient, despite previously being Michael's partner.
Age: Thirty-eight. Being a reformed Sue (with some vestigial power) she's in good shape, and she's a crack fighter.
Fate: Still surviving. I'm contemplating having an eventual romantic connection between her and Michael, so feel free to include this as a source of pain, a la Romeo and Juliet, only worse.

By the way, I don't know how in-depth these cameos will be, but should the occasion arise, I would prefer it if none of my agents used foul language. Thanks, and have fun!

I'm a bit of a sucker for cameos. ^^; So:

Ilraen-Aroline-Fothergill
Faction: Loyalist. He'd never stand for the Efficients' nonsense.
Age: All growed up. Possibly approaching middle age, but only if the Andalite lifespan is similar to humans'.
Fate: Much like in the Catastrophe Theory AU, he's survived the fighting so far, though he's got some new physical and emotional scars to show for it. Like Brightbeard, he's a protector at heart. He'll be looking out for the youngsters.

Supernumerary
Faction: Efficient. They won him over with cunning arguments and he never got the chance to go back.
Age: 60, or would be if he hadn't been...
Fate: Killed in action. Nume's not a fighter. He'd never make it in a pitched battle. He might've tried to defect once things started getting nasty, too, and then the DoE might've had something harsh to say about it. Up to you, really.

Derik
Faction: Loyalist. The Efficients' clear-cut rules and order would appeal to him, but he's change his tune pretty quickly once the torture and killing started. Sues get killed because they're parasites, not people.
Age: ~70, give or take. Gettin' on, but dragonriders tend to be healthy and long-lived. He's not slowing down yet, even if he is going gray.
Fate: Surviving, assuming he hasn't done something suicidally heroic (or just dumb) and gotten himself killed yet.

Gall Knutson
Faction: Loyalist, but for the opposite reasons as her partner. She wouldn't care about the torturing and killing, but anybody messing with her personal autonomy is asking for trouble.
Age: 46 and starting to feel it, but nonetheless a force to be reckoned with.
Fate: Surviving, probably. She might even have kids, in which case god help anyone who tries to mess with them. Derik may or may not be the father. Sorta depends on whether or not she ever convinces him to see her that way and whether or not it lasts. Since it's AU, totally up to you. ^^

Jennifer Robinson
Faction: Nope. Nuh-uh. Forget it.
Age: 55, physically. Otherwise, same as ever.
Fate: Surviving on the sidelines, trying to keep Henry and friends on both sides out of trouble. I have a feeling the Efficients wouldn't want someone like her around, so she would've had to go underground pretty early on in their takeover. She wouldn't leave altogether while she still has people to care for, though.

Henry Robinson
Faction: Efficient, possibly a double-agent for the Loyalists, if only because I'm tantalized by the notion of him falling into a Snape-esque role due to inherited narrativium. Unfortunately, the Harry Potter in him means he's far less subtle than Snape.
Age: 29.
Fate: Surviving. Jenni will do almost anything to make sure he lives to see 30. Unfortunately, his temper makes this rather difficult. He could get into serious trouble, even killed.

... And that's enough. ^_^; Don't feel compelled to use all of them, or any of them, of course. Feel free to pull in any of my FicPsych nurses if you feel like it, though. They'd most likely all be Loyalists, since I can't really see FicPsych being much use to the Efficients. They might make for good cannon fodder.

~Neshomeh

Well, Marvin and Printworthy are likely retired at that point. If they were still active, they would be loyalist. Printworthy would contemplate joining the other side, but in the end will stick with Marvin and not harassing Authors. If they served, Printworthy would be injured, and the two of them desert to Equestria.

Now, as for the other two agents who I have never introduced, but talked about a lot...

Oh, what the heck. Once this next week is up, I will push to get a short out with Jumper and Sarah to introduce them. However, for now, I'll do some bare bones explanation.

Jumper is a man who can travel between worlds. Not however, word worlds. I'll get into that later, but if you are really curious, I have talked about him before on the board. Just search Jumper. You should find some tidbits. Anyway, he is very much loyalist. He finds the idea of rushing missions horrifying, and the harassment of Authors more so. He uses his ability to travel to non Word Worlds to keep the Loyalists supplied, without the threat of interception by the enemy. Unfortunately, because his ability takes a lot out of him, these supplies do not come as often as needed.

Sarah, United States Marine (from the Half-Life universe) and Jumper's partner, is very much a member of the Department of Efficiency. Even before the reforms, she took Sue hunting professionally. Be quick, be efficient, be ruthless. The sooner the mission is over, the more monsters she can take out. While Jumper had managed the impossible, and got her to loosen up, when she heard of a movement to do things the way she wanted all along, she joined without hesitation. She has no mercy for Loyalists, who want to stay with the ways that let monsters live for longer then they deserved. Well, with the possible exception of one Loyalist...

Ultimate fates? Sarah will fight for a long time, but eventually be found MIA. Jumper will head out to make another supply delivery, and never come back.

Why yes, I have been wanting to write their roles in this conflict for a while, why do you ask?

...the only agent of mine who would definitely still be around by 2038 would be Cupid, for obvious reasons. Rashida would probably retire and return to her home continuum after a few years, and I'm not sure what'll become of all the others but I doubt they'd be around for that long. As for my other agents... I don't know, but I'd rather not risk it. So yeah, just Cupid. For now, anyway.

As for where he'd end up, I can see him being part of the Loyalist faction, since they were the ones who gave him a home and a reason to exist in the first place. Being an angel and the like, he'd still be 13 biologically but he'd be a lot more experienced mentally. There WAS a 25-year gap between the original Kid Icarus game and Uprising, after all. XD

... except that I have Plans for Valon and Kala, and going any further than one year would spoil them. So sadly, I cannot include those two.

Although... Chakkik might still be around. He's magic given shape, like all Mana monsters, so he may very well be ageless. He's fairly cold, but he also believes in doing things right. In spite of his personality, he'd probably be a Loyalist. He's stubborn and doesn't like to change, so he'd stick to the old PPC methods.

And people trying to force him to change? He can cast Stone Saber, which gives his attacks a chance to petrify their target. There might be an awful lot of statues around RC 512... It'd look more like the lair of Medusa than the home of the most prudish insect that ever lived.

Is this an AU splitting off from the original Sundering (the one you linked to), or were those just for general feel?

If it's the former, I have agents canonically in there you can borrow - and abuse as much as you like, if it's all going AU anyway.

(But since there's a fair few of them, I won't pull together a list unless it's relevant. So?)

hS

Algernon Wymbourne: a rear-echelon support guy in the Loyalists on account of his magic favouring a less combat-oriented role. Still a force to be reckoned with; don't be fooled by his doddery persona. Magicians don't get old through tenure, after all. Surviving... thus far.

Agamemnon, 8th Earl Wymbourne: a keen follower in his father's footsteps, Agamemnon is much more adept at combat magic than the 7th Earl ever was. He's survived thus far. He's also much less eager to use it, unless you hurt his partner...

Kay Shiokara: Agamemnon's partner is an Inkling and a natural-born gunner, favouring her old Splattershot and similar short-ranged weapons. She has a tendency to charge in all guns blazing, which can be a bit of a problem. MIA for a while now.

And lastly...

Lilianna Cressidia Wymbourne: Having responded very well to anti-Suvian things (so certain parties say), she is a well-respected agent of the Department of Author Correction. Those teenage girls won't know what hit them... at first. They tend to figure it out after the first month. Do with her as you will.

Loyalists:

-Eamon Brightbeard
Age: Really Old
Status: Surviving, for now
Notes: Protector by nature, wouldn't like the DAC's methods.

-Kur'nak
Age: Mid-50's, A good age for an Orc
Status: Surviving, for now
Notes: Runs a smuggling ring for the Loyalists. You need information, weapons, or to disappear; he's your Orc.


DAC & DoE:

-Barid
Age: Not as old as Brightbeard
Status: Surviving, for now
Notes: Sadistic by nature. Has no problem with the DAC's methods.

-Decima
Age: That is not a question you ask a woman with an temper and a wand.
Status: Surviving, for now
Notes: Uncomfortable with the DAC & DoE. One good push could cause her to defect.



All characters are "Surviving, for now" because I am giving you permission to kill them off if it serves your story. If you do kill any of them, make it interesting.

-Phobos
