important, please read!

announcement b: october 31st

Not quite a large announcement as previous, however I would like to note: With Scoundrels & Sentinels, 2 new map variations were added to the pool - Hard Sell (Daytime) and Fragrant Shore (Nighttime). As I do not believe there to be enough major lore difference in these operations, they will not be getting seperate pages. They will be getting mentions on their respective pages and with their respective VIPs, however for now.These small details will include the Yacht's arrival onto Fragrant Shore, Luana and Sebastian being together on both of these variation maps, and the current polticial climate of Fragrant Shore (aka, Luana isnt PM)

announcement a: june 20th

Good day, Agents! Writer Iris here, with a small important announcement. As of June 20th, 2024, we got a few important lore facts surrounding the agents and how they identity in the LGBTQ+, if they identify within it!
While these facts may be canon, the devs have released a statement surrounding it, of which I will copy and paste here:Hello Agents!Before I give the floor to the mods for this announcement, I want to clarify a few things:
1) While we did set these canons orientations for our characters, we, in no way want to squander your fanon/headcanons orientations. I think I speak for everyone at the bandits when I say that we absolutely love the stuff you people make, and want you to feel free to keep doing that.2) You might notice a lack of a certain specific representation and it is not because we don't endorse these. Queer Rights, Trans Rights, LGBTQ+ RIGHTS for everyone. The reason we might have not included said representation is because we feel we want to make sure it's more than a label slapped unto a character, and we want to honor the representation and the character.While we may have the canon orientations, headcanons are still valid and welcome within the Deceive Inc communities.Happy Pride, Agents!-Iris

The WORLD

A lot of Deceive Inc.'s world intertwines. This is, in part, due to the nature of the groups and organisations within the world.Currently, the groups and their status' are as follows:ACES (dismantled)
ACES was a Private Military Company consisting of 4 members: the Ace of Diamond, Tamar "Ace" Zaken. The Ace of Heart, Selena "Red" Ivanenko. The Ace of Clubs, whose real identity is unknown. And finally, the Ace of Spades, whose real identity is unknown. This groups dismantling is speculated to be due to multiple failed missions. This disbanding is described as turbulant, but Tamar decided to keep the callsign of 'Ace' from the PMC era.G.H.O.S.T.S. (presumed dismantled)
G.H.O.S.T.S (full name unknown) is presumably a PMC that was lead by Hans Moritz. Another known member involved was Keiji "Sasori" Takase, a well renowned international assassin who served as a close henchman. This group presumably dismantled during Operation Siege.Deceive Inc (active)
Deceive Incorporated (often shortened to Deceive Inc. or DI) is an organisation originally founded by Ethan Chavez and Knight, and grew to hold a monopoly on espionage when the Global Espionage Dismantling Act occurred. This group has a strict guarantee, and it's practices are considered shady - but it's the best in the business. Currently, we know of 11 active operatives (or 'agents'), 1 former agent, and 2 non-agent characters associated with it.SG Telecoms (active)
Sebastian Garcia Telecoms (or SG Telecoms) is a technology company ran by former spy Antonio Ricci, under the alias of Sebastian Garcia. This company provides a lot of the computing seen around the world, including phones, laptops, computers, server racks, television cameras and presumably the vault terminals themselves. This group also is the forefront of the annual art auctions hosted by Garcia, within his mansion - the auctions of which hold private data. This data is acquired via quite literally sniping it out of the air via a satellite dish hidden within the mountain, though it could be theorised the devices have a form of spyware to copy data additionally.STARFISH (active)
STARFISH is a military fashion brand based in Norway, founded by twin sisters Rebekka and Nilfrid Evensen, who go under the alias' of Starling and Angelfish respectively. The two initially made a fortune selling a pair of red chic heels, fitted with both a poisoned tip and knuckle dusters - solidifying their place within the darker circles. The two have since launched a variety of other weapons, including reskinned assault rifles and rocket launchers, a hat with a bladed brim, a flamethrower hairdrier, a harpoon umbrella, and perfume grenades. The two often sell weaponry to the other VIPs.LUANA (active)
LUANA is a group representing Luana Cacilias Pérez, a feared name within the darker circles of society. Majority of it's initial wealth came from the perfume aspect of this company, notably having stores in locations such as the Valkyrie-V station. Luana aims to utilise the money provided by this groups success to break into the political circles, including dirty play.JBT Media(active)
Jati Bin Teh Media (or JBT Media/JBT) is a organisation including various groups and brands - all of which are owned by Jati Bin Teh himself in their entirety. This includes the FIT by Jati Gym, Jouvence, and Juice Brew Tea, to name a few. A lot of these involve his name or his motifs regularly, and are all often found within Jati's ASPIRE tower in Singapore, though brands like Jouvence are sold throughout the world.Hazen (active)
It's unknown if Hazen is part of an organisation/group, or simply a rich individual.
Hazen serves as the front person for the Valkyrie-V Space Station Resort, holding clear influence and wealth into the station due to the statue of them in the Main Hall, as well as the opera hall and hidden technological facilities within the core pillar structure of the station.The Daily Watch (active)
The Daily Watch is an news outlet seemingly focusing on the rich and oppulent, detailing every detail about their lives, including securing exclusive interviews with stars like Hazen, or details regarding groups like JBT Media.
