#rp: abstergo

[initiate-operative]

A couple days ago a team of 12 volunteers including Greta Thunberg set sail on the Freedom Flotilla to Gaza with humanitarian aid to break Israel's blockade.

Not long after, senator Lindsey "if they do that to them we're next" Graham threatened the Flotilla but we'll keep him under control *winks in Erudito*.

We have the Altair II not far from them making sure they're safe, if Israel kills them, we WILL avenge them.

Remember people, that ship is carrying food and medicine, no weapons, if Israeli kills them, that's a war crime but i guess war crimes and human rights violations don't matter anymore.

Free Palestine 🇵🇸.

I'll tell you about myself when it matters. Oh, right, it doesn't, I'm dead. I'm here to mess with Abstergo and entertain myself. If you see something that looks like a glitch, no you didn't.

Does anyone know if Sigma Team’s HR is handled by a different office? Because I have all the paperwork out for termination, and no one’s called me to start filling them out.

Oh well…a certain hot bartender a friend that has never been to this building in his life or lives has smuggled in some mixed drinks, so I’m just enjoying the chaos with a bit of a buzz.

- Clay the “Intern”

[sum-of-memories]

"Yeah, but do you know what you’re doing? "

"Do I know—?" Clay put a hand to his chest, making an expression of overly dramatic insult. He'd reasonably wanted to know if this punk kid had any idea what he was getting himself into, and said punk kid had the balls to throw the question back at him? He dropped the look a moment later, rolling his eyes hard enough it could have been audible. "Yeah, I'd say I know what I'm doing. Unlike certain people, I don't just fucking throw myself into random shit not knowing how to get myself out of it again."

He folded his arms, his expression cooling into one that was thoughtful, but guarded. "Instead of parroting my questions back at me, you could give me a real answer. Do you have any idea what you're about to get yourself into? This isn't exactly a pick-up basketball game at the Family Y."

Granted, it wasn't like Clay was broadcasting his intent. His hidden blade was concealed beneath the sleeve of his jacket, and the rest of his gear was tucked safely into numerous interior pockets to discourage nosy, light-fingered bastards like the one right in front of him from helping themselves to his supplies. For all intents and purposes, Clay himself looked like any other guy Delsin could have picked off the street. The only difference was that most guys off the street weren't trying to break into the side entrance of an office building.

Abstergo Intern Rules

Rule #4

Your coworkers have better hearing than you think. Calling them a “filthy muggle” will not go over well.

[goldentemplariumcrow]

Main cross-over options to RP with Dionisus:

Dionisus is expanding his business and opening a new office of his law firm in a new city/country, because it's a good moment for him to do it, and so will be around the place for a while to monitor how things are going.

Dionisus is working for Abstergo, which is opening a new facility and so they sent a more experienced member of theirs to keep everything in order both for legal reasons and for their Templar purposes.

My side blogs, if anyone wants to interact/role-play with me.

@janielovestorp A general rp blog that I started and then promptly fell to the way-side due to real life issues. I would love to restart it if anyone wants to rp with me. Feel free to DM me to discuss logistics, fandoms, etc.

@abstergo-industries-hr Yes kids, I have Leap of Faith’d into the Assassin’s Creed rabbit-hole again. This is basically my snarky take on HR grunts working for Evil Inc. Abstergo Industries, as someone who does work for a global corporation IRL. I try to write long “official” posts when inspiration strikes, but also feel free to send messages for me to respond to.

@snowmasscourier For giggles and grins, I set up an rp blog for Rebecca Crane, set around the time she was an undercover courier in Assassin’s Creed IV: Black Flag. Please feel free to interact, whether it’s an Assassin’s Creed canon character, another fandom, or an OC. I do headcanon her as pansexual and I ship the hell out of her and Shaun Hastings, but I’m pretty flexible as far as pairings/throuples. I may currently be residing in the Desmond/Shaun/Rebecca OT3 dumpster as we speak.

roleplay anyone?

HEY okay so one of my favorite videogames has been on my mind recently, assassin's creed, and this morning i was suddenly inspired to do a rp based upon it. it'll take place in my solarpunk sci-fi world with peaceful aliens on earth and stuff, but our characters will be working with a science team akin to abstergo, who are studying alternate timelines and parallel universes. through this, our characters are sent into a dark timeline, a more apocalyptic cyberpunk fantasy world, to find and get rid of the source of the problems there. shenanigans ensue, open to romantic subplots, and if you like, you can help me figure out an ending! hmu friends, i do mostly semi-literate, one on one (no group rps, sorry)

Abstergo's website

Ok so, unfortunately Abstergo's hackers took control of my email so i couldn't log into @helix-initiate which forced me to make this blog.

Anyways, this is the website for Abstergo Industries, they rarely update it but there's still interesting stuff on there.

If you see users, Chris Mueller (fake name) and d3s3r734gl3o5, just know that those were my accounts i used to troll and distract before bossman put me in charge of media.

[clay16kaczmarek]

((Hi guys,

I’m so sorry it’s taken me so long to post this, it never feels finished. I had intended to post an image with it and there’s always something that feels like it needs to be edited. But I think I’m done, and you’ve waited long enough.

I’ve had a few asks sitting in the inbox for a while, an announcement I wanted to make, and an explanation to give, so I decided to just answer them all together and say what I thought needed to be said.

So after thinking about it for a while, I’ve decided that it’s time for me to put this blog aside, indefinitely. It hurts my heart to close my ask, but I have more demanding things in my life to focus on; however, I will be leaving the blog up as an archive.

I’m sorry, I know some of you really enjoyed interacting, and I would just like to thank all of you who sent in asks and followed and just enjoyed the work in any way. I really appreciate it, and I had so much fun. This blog not only proved to be a good drawing and writing exercise, but sometimes it was therapeutic in ways because I thought a lot about Clay and Des whom I both project onto strongly aha.

That being said though, I would be lying if I said I wasn’t ever stressed out, or felt guilty about not answering as fast as I thought I should have. I think I should also share why it takes so long for me to reply and why I feel the need to move on. I’m very very busy, not only am I swamped with a ton of hobbies, and tired from my part-time physically demanding job, but I live in a home environment where I’m doing a lot of work taking care of my family. Some of us are disabled, so I clean and cook and run errands, and when I do have free time I use it to rest and collect my thoughts. We’re also in the middle of a situation, so we’re all just processing our emotions and trying to figure things out. I��m finding it difficult to balance all of this with my own anxiety and depressed moods, and keep up with this blog. Needless to say, I am thoroughly exhausted, so there are days where I just want to focus on nothing but myself. Don’t worry though, we’ll pull through, it’s just kind of tough right now.

And don’t get me wrong, there was also a lot of laziness, aha. But I didn’t always put off asks willingly.

I’m also young and trying to figure myself and my life out, so there’s other things I want to focus on when I can. And while this blog did help me express myself, I think it’s time for me to take a step back and have the extra time.

This doesn’t mean that I’m done with Clay! or Desmond, or any of the other assassins. I don’t post a lot of AC on my own blog, but you can always feel free to leave me a suggestion at my personal: ==> @mesetoiles . Please keep in mind though that I’m not turning my personal into another RP blog, and I can’t answer suggestions every day, but when I have time I’d be happy to interact with any of you. So ask me headcanons or give me prompts or whatever (just try to keep it sfw, I have irl friends following me : )   ).

But, yeah, I think that’s it, really... I keep trying to find new things to say so it doesn’t have to be over so fast aha...

Thankyou for sticking with me, and supporting me, and being so positive. Thankyou for all the nice messages, and discussions about headcannons, and for letting me ramble in the tags and even encouraging it. This blog was with me when I was going through a really hard stage in my life, which is weird to think about, but it’s made a significant impression.

I know it doesn’t seem like there’s a lot of Clay content out there, one of the reasons I made this blog was because I needed more and I realized that if someone is gonna do it it’ll have to be me. If you want something to exist you need to be the one to go out and create it. It doesn’t have to be an entire blog, or 30 chapter fanfic, etc. It can be a few paragraphs, a single drawing, some ramblings of the thoughts and opinions you have. If anything can come from this, I hope instead of being disappointed that I’m leaving that you’ll be inspired, if that isn’t too presumptuous of me. So go be the one to bring Clay and any other interests of yours out of the woodwork.

And now, a final word from Clay and the team:    ))

Hello, Initiates.

It’s with regret, that I must inform you all, that: we’re going underground. Abstergo has been keeping a close watch on us, and this blog has become a liability. Even though it’s main material was mundane information about our lifestyles, and close relationships (information that didn’t seem to matter to them or that they already knew), they’ve been able to glean more information than we thought we were letting on.

Not just from what we’ve publicly shared, but they also seem to be catching onto the locations this information is coming from. As good as Rebecca and I are, we can’t continue to hide ourselves as thoroughly as we might have hoped.

I think we all knew that this was only a matter of time.

I have to admit though, that I did enjoy it here. So did my teammates, who are helping me write this farewell. Our interactions will be missed, and we hope you were able to see past our exteriors and know what kind of people we are, as much as Abstergo paints us as villains.

Don’t despair though, this may not be the last time we see each other. Maybe we’ll meet in the cramped subway, or the dark rooftops in a busy city. Maybe we’ll pass each other in front of a mission point, or talk in the deep recesses of a late night chat room.

Whatever it is, initiate, keep your eyes peeled. Pay attention to the world around you, see the markings on the walls and try to read between the lines. You are the change, the future, and we could always use more recruits to build this world into a better place.

You know where to find us, catch you at the next Helix Rift.

So long, Assassin.

- Clay, and Shaun, and Rebecca, and Desmond.

/totes anon/ If you had to pick one plot/trope/storyline with Cal that you haven't gotten to explore yet that you'd like to, what would it be?

For Munday, anonymously ask the mun something you want to know about them, their portrayal, or what they will/won’t write - @meurtriier

Hm. That’s actually a really good question. Currently, there isn’t too much? I’d love to do more with the Infiltrator verse so I can get more nuances there (I have a particular thing I think about sometimes involving Cal in this verse, and it’s such a small detail but something I’ve had for a while). And I think maybe I don’t get to do Cal fighting a lot. Like, physically or yelling. We know he’s kind of volatile and can be easy to set off, and I get worried that I’ve really made him…mellower, maybe? Complacent? Like I’ve toned him down too far and now his anger and temper are just sort of things I feel I’m throwing into the narrative to be like ‘See! He’s angry! I promise!’ And I feel like it gets more ‘tell’ than ‘show’.

So I guess getting to explore other sides of him is something I’d enjoy. This one is more difficult, but his life before Abstergo and the assassins is interesting to me, but people from his life before (and there were a lot because he didn’t really form attachments) aren’t exactly existing in the RP-lands, so that’s mostly confined to drabbles, which feels a little self-indulgent? Like, no one really cares about it because it’s all just backstory that doesn’t involve anyone in his current life. 

I guess that’s kind of it right now. This blog is a few days away from being two months old, and while at times I feel like I’m wearing Cal down and doing everything too quickly, there’s also times I feel like I’m still just scratching the surface with him (and Aguilar).

Abstergo Intern Rules

Rule # 5

Under no circumstances should you leave your computer unlocked. Your coworkers, though they may seem professional, are all assholes.

[goldentemplariumcrow]

For those who know nothing about the modern timeline (and those who don't care about it) of the Assassin's Creed franchise, but want to RP with Dionisus:

About Abstergo:

It's the new version of the Templar Order. Their core is still formed by Templars and Templar families, but they don't have only Templars inside.

Not everyone in Abstergo knows of the Templar Order; this is a selective group of members and they stick to not being known this way.

Older Templar bloodlines usually receive more respect and power in Abstergo than common civilians, however, it doesn't mean civilians can't grow in Abstergo ranks. One can easily grow to a high position if they work properly, but they might never reach the peak of the chain.

They produce technology and innovations on medical areas.

Abstergo has three kinds of facilities: research (mostly focus on the studies), development (mostly focus on developing ways to make research easier and safer as well as tests if their theories are right or wrong) and mixed (when both research and development are together). There's a chance for some of these facilities to have laboratories with human test subjects, however, most of the laboratories tend to be quite discrete.

Abstergo can do some shady work, but it's according to the Law in most of the time. They may take in human test subjects, however most of it is from death rolls and life incarceration sentenced people.

The main focus of their research for society is to create ways to make people less prone to aggressive behavious, usually providing them with ways to let it all out.

About the Templar Order:

Their Inner Sanctum commands all the Templar Order and keeps things going; the names in the Inner Sanctum are undisclosed though.

They still follow the believe that society needs leaders to guide it, but their methods of doing so changed drastically, working more on a persuasion basis than force.

There's an inner conflict in the Order due to different beliefs on how to approach the search for Pieces of Eden and Assassins.

Their rules are quite strict and every Templar member must abide by them.

Their conflict with the Assassins from the Brotherhood is kept always in the dark.

Traitors and double-agents and are swiftly executed when they're found among their ranks.

There is a power struggle between the Templar ranks, which leads to a whole powerplay between those who have higher positions; and although this usually doesn't bring out much attention, at times, might come out with some assassinations.

Lucy stared at the print-outs from Subject 16's animus sessions. Judging by his vital readings, he was straining but going by the recordings of his memories, it seemed like they were at a standstill.

She tossed down the file and leaned back in Vidic's chair. He had left earlier, deeming Lucy monitor the boy for his remaining daily time in the animus. And so she watched him, tapping the heel of her shoe against the floor, eyeing his chest as it rose and fell with his breath.

She checked her watch. 5pm. Usually they would keep him under until 6, but since they weren't getting anywhere...

Lucy got to her feet and walked over to the machine's computer. She punched in the release code and watched, waiting for him to come back to the present.

"Afternoon, Clay. How are you feeling?"

Turns out Abstergo Industries owns TikTok, we should fix that ;)
