This pack is primarily focused around the Chrome Kite and villains that are directly under their regime's command, in Swappernetters. If intrigued, don't forget to also check out the Frontliner Story Pack! Also, there is one for miscellaneous heroes and supporting cast, and another one still for villains not directly related to the Chrome Kite.

The Chrome Kite is a brutal, albeit, experimental totalitarian regime put in place by Rappaccini as his puppets over Arkansas / Arkonia. They wish to completely destroy all trace of Christendom in the region they have hijacked, as well as suppress anything that came before them. However, they aren't completely evil by intent.

Unlike the Screwworms that they tolerate, who do almost nothing but destroy, the Chrome Kite's leadership believes that enslaving the captive Arkonian population into serving the cause of building a futuristic better land is an essential morale booster.

They reason that if they can seduce the populace into a strong belief in designing better infrastructure, this can architecturally inspire locals toward a brighter, cleaner future.

Surfaces are smooth as often as possible, and white or slightly offwhite are preferred colors to use as a base. Splashes of color are tolerated in parts. Glass is utilized wherever it is reasonable to do so, and lit glass uses LED blue, aqua, or teal lighting.

Buildings often have solar panel roofing, as each building is expected to contribute its own part toward the power grid. Some buildings may have additional wind turbines atop the solar roof. When fake terrain must be used instead of real grass in an area, it is often a bright white recycled rubber and synthetic white vinyl set of "grass" blades.

Most notably, the Chrome Kite tries to avoid sharp right angles in their building designs and re-designs. They will go to lengths to remove sharp corners, if it can be helped, even if this leads to strange results and counter-intuitive room navigation. Unlike similar dystopian baddies, they aren't opposed to incorporating green into their designs. But they prefer white and blue.

However, even their beautiful constructs become a form of oppression; as they piecemeal destroy everything that stands in the way of this goal. As such, Little Rock in particular is reduced to a mess of blinding white futurist buildings and rotting remnants of the war-torn, rattled buildings that preceded the regime's mad-paced reconstruction efforts. The skyline becomes a schizophrenic jumbling of old and new; as locals both love the look of the new while wishing they were allowed to embrace the values of the old.

Downloadable Characters

Hasam Arbini

President

To manage Arkonia locally, Rappaccini put Hasam Arbini, and his "progressivist" totalitarian party known as the "Chrome Kite," in charge. From there, he seeks to completely erase the Gray Champion's legacy.

He even goes so far as to sometimes hire Feathertop to do dirty jobs for him - so that there will be a fall guy if things go wrong. Feathertop: a terrorist hated by all!

Perhaps most sickening of all to those living under his thumb: his photo ops! The man never wastes an opportunity to virtue signal, or to pretend like he has Arkonia's best interests at heart.

His self-aggrandizing, self-promoting propaganda is ubiquitous across the landscape.

Hatori Ikomara

Secretary of Energy

Ikomara is primarily in charge of maintaining the infrastructures and secrets that keep up the Tug, and keep the Sodality, Toklisanan military, and SCALLOP from entering into Arkonia. He has to work closely with other cabinet members; but is concerned about the need to eventually upgrade the entire system to feed through a Marlquaan energy transfer system, drawing energy directly from Carpathine.

The old nuclear reactor setup that the Hebbleskins employed is quickly proving obsolete - as well as dangerous! Not only the Tug, but all of the Arkonian power grid rely on this. And to Ikomara, that is poor long-term planning.

It was noted that when the Hebbleskins created their domes around Gerosha, cores weren't protected well. Radiation leaks often killed guards at their posts after only two weeks of exposure. Even Sniperbadger once commented on how poorly-protected those setups were from radiation leaks, when she had to endanger herself by getting close to a dome energy core to disable it!

However, he does wish that the other cabinet members would take his concerns about long-term, clean energy a bit more seriously. To ignore current risks, was to undermine the entire Chrome Kite project!
