Faction: The Idealists

The Idealists will be the first of the seven major factions in my Carinthos Setting. Thematically, the Idealists reflect a mix of the more idealistic interpretations of Liu Bei's Shu-Han in ROTK (including before it was formally known as the Han Empire), the idealistic elements of Disagea, and the more idealistic elements of the modern Western world.

Faction Character:
Factional Strength: Determinators

Factional Strength: Able personell

Factional Strength: Popular support

Factional Weakness: Idealism

Factional Weakness: Poor land

Factional Weakness: Lack of numbers

I should emphasise that despite these weaknesses the faction is genuinely a major power because it's commanders are so badass.

Characters:
-Leader Character: A character who starts off as highly idealistic, but is undone over time, ironically, by his sheer compassion for those close to him being used to slowly make him do more and more unvirtous things. This compassion thus turns into his greatest weakness. Ultimately ends up collapsing the faction in an incident based on ROTK's battle of Yi Ling.

-Strategist character: A character who is loyal to the Leader but extremely pragmatic, to the point where he would even commit genocide to further the cause. Slowly manipulates the Leader character over time into becoming and more evil.

-A pragmatist character who starts off on the Strategist's side, but gradually drifts apart. Has his own independent ideal, that of the modern West, and sees the Idealists as the only way to carry it out. Also plays the role of being an initial Badass for the faction.

-Character for the pseudo-Guan Yu, pseudo Chen-Gong plotline romance I make later. Starts off with at least one extraordinary virtue, grows over the series into a major badass but doesn't start as one
