ANIMUS
"1. hostility, ill feeling
2. motivation to do something"
2. motivation to do something"
Animus is a chaotic good group dedicated to the total eradication of evil through whatever means necessary. The group is generally against traditional law and order, and prefer to seek out vigilante justice, often employing extreme violence as a means to an end. They often hear tips and rumors from external powers which help inform their choices of target criminals to eliminate in the Digital World, and at times, in the real world. However, true to their chaotic nature, the group also seeks out the forces of darkness and evil on their own accord.
The members of the group use no insignia or logo, but are concerned with their appearance to a degree. Members are particularly fond of fashion from the 1980s and 1990s, and often don neon colors.
While Animus' methods may not be considered good acts by the perspectives of many, their leader's ideal to eliminate evil is no deception or lie. However, this does not deny the members of the group from achieving their own ambitions, meaning that the team is open to characters of other alignments, so long as their views do not interfere with the original goal. Animus does few background checks on the people that they allow into the group, expecting that the new members know how things will go down should they be caught making moves against the team's ideal.
ORIGIN
TBA - still being played out in-character. More will be added to this section as time progresses.
BENEFITS
Like all other teams and organizations, joining Animus lends its members a couple benefits int he form of a base (currently not purchased) and a passive team ability.
✘ BASE: UNKNOWN
Animus does not currently have a functional base. They instead meet through instant messaging, Tamernet, and phone calls. At the moment, this provides inconvenience, but allows for the group to go fairly unchecked by the larger forces of evil that may come after them.
✘ TEAM ABILITY: BLOOD MONEY
Whenever Animus completes a mission thread, they can choose to receive an additional bonus to their bit or post reward. When there are two or more members of the team in a mission, each member receives an additional 5% bonus. For every other Animus member in the thread, the bonus is increased by another 5%, up to a maximum of 50%. This maximum includes the 25% team bonuses on missions.
LEADERS
The members of Animus are loosely organized, with only three members having the simple status of "leader." They are respected equally within the group, and generally call the shots.
RISE KYORYU
✘ The first leader of Animus, Rise is the one who came up with the ideal and direction for the group. Despite her rash attitude, her opinions are generally well-respected within the team.
MADDIE BYRNE
✘ Though relatively passive compared to Rise, Maddie offers an imperative role in the team as she provides creative thinking and rational plans. The organization of the team, loose as it is, is all in thanks to her.

DUSTIN + THEO
✘ Dustin and Theo, mostly the latter, play a crucial part in Animus as the brains of the operation. They provide logic and set-up most of the missions for the team. Though they play a big part behind the scenes, they are rarely seen hanging around the group.
ROSTER
Generally any character can find a place within Animus, though those of the lawful alignment may feel a bit uncomfortable, as the group does not embrace their ideals. However, if their heart is with the team, then they can be considered as well.
✘ RY NAPRALEON
✘ KAZUYA + ROYLAND
✘ CION
✘ MAO KITA
