May I adopt Origin Industries, @Kai and @Wes? It’s for the same reason I adopted the Children of the Aether - I’d like to prevent the corporation from falling into obscurity by indirectly (and, later on, directly) using them as antagonists in Ascension and in future Elysian plots.
The “adoption” would occur in-character via the Kuvexians acquiring a controlling stake (through means both legitimate and illicit) in Origin and utilizing said stake to replace high-level employees (such as the CEO) in each of Origin’s corporate divisions with loyal “figureheads.”
To qualm any fears about this being a “power grab” or anything similar, should this be request be approved here’s what I would not do...
Apologies for the abrupt ending, but work starts soon. >.<
The only other thing I’d like to add is that this - barring any unforeseen circumstances/events/etc. - will be the last adoption request I make for a long time.

- I would not be bar individuals, factions, or organizations from utilizing Origin products and/or services. This is because, well, every transaction is more profit - and it would make no IC sense for a corporation to do anything that would deprive it of potential revenue.
- I would not have Origin sabotage or alter its products. Although there’s plenty of IC justification for a Kuvexian-controlled Origin to sabotage (plant hidden bombs/computer viruses/etc.) the equipment it sells to other factions (like the Star Army, for example), I would not do such a thing, as, well, I don’t believe in those kinds of immature drama-inciting tactics.
- I would not terminate any Origin employees besides those listed above. The reason for this is simple: there’s literally no IC reason for a Kuvexian-controlled Origin to fire the majority of its workforce, as such an act would only attract suspicion.
- I would serve as a “caretaker” for pre-existing Origin articles. This would involve going through each article in the Origin namespace and fixing grammatical/spelling typos, performing DRv3 conversions (after said conversion is approved, of course), removing emoji, and so on.
- I would support content creators and Game Masters interested in working with Origin Industries. Origin, after all, still has quite a bit of room to grow in terms of equipment - and what better plot concept is there than “taking back” a company from its evil controllers? Origin is a corporation that truly lives up to the phrase “created by the people, for the people” - and I have no intention whatsoever of changing that.
- I would have Origin continue providing its pre-existing goods and services. “Rocking the boat” by abruptly ceasing operations would only reduce profits and attract suspicion - neither of which the Kuvexians desire.
- I would create a “secret” Origin subsidiary named the Asset Protection Group. It is through this subsidiary - which would have no (known) connections with or to Origin - that I would be initially be utilizing as antagonists, with Origin’s involvement in creating, supplying, and funding the subsidiary something that would be revealed later on ICly.
