EVE Fiction

Hello, I'm Wendrika, and I want to be a Guristas pirate!

But I have no idea how to do that...

It is well known a lot of people roleplay membership of a certain faction and I love how well I've seen people roleplay the goals and ambitions of their adopted faction, or how even non-roleplayers play along with the mascarade! Guristas to me make sense! They are cutthroat pirates, with cool ships, that defected from the military to form their little empire. And they fill my niche as a shield tanked drone boat user, so it is all good!

My original idea was to create a corporation and say "hey guys, I'm a Guristas pirate, rawr" but alas, "Guristas" is a banned name for corporations. Dreams of a Federal endorced pirate corporation crumbled, and thus began the hunt for a corporation name that flagged me as a supporter of my favourite faction, while being subtle enough to not spell it out or circumventing the name filter.

Now, I've done a lot of research about Guristas and turned a blank! People do like them, there's a lot of bunny skull tattos around, they are overall a popular faction! But not may supporters. In the Intergalatic Summit, Guristas as a faction are seldom represented! Lots of Blood Raiders, some Sansha, a few Angels, but Guristas? Not a soul. The Sisters of EVE are in a similar position, but people are open to the idea of working for them as opposed to be a fulltime supporter.

When it comes to Guristas, only one corporation, The Black Rabbits, were close of being what I am looking for, but alas... I'm very picky when it comes to corporations and the people in them. That bunny tank in their corp description kills it for me.

Now, being this EVE Fiction I need to put some meat on my topic and I'm getting to that.

I'm building a narrative here, of a loony wide-eyed dim-witted genius level capsuleer scientist that joined a group of pirates. But my knowledge of the Guristas lore is small, my GoogleFu isn't helping and I have no idea on what a group of Guristas supporters would name themselves without using the word Guristas.

So guys, what I need is some input on how to flag myself as a Guristas supporter. If I should form a corporation or not, how should I name it if at all, and what sort of lore can I use to back it up. That sort of stuff.

Please have in mind that I'm not asking how to be a pirate. I'm asking how to be a Guristas pirate!

For a second there, I thought I posted on the General Discussion forum. Wierd!

But you know, what you are saying is useful. The corporation could be called Federal Pithum Enforcers, and after I get a few grunts, our first order of work would be to find you and your crappy Moa in Black Rise, ECM it to oblivion, blow it to smitherins, collect your corpse, stick it on a flag pole in my backyard and have my friends look at it during a nice glass of iced tea.

Wouldn't that be fun? That would totally be what a Guristas would do in New Eden! For reals!

Just cobble together something that sounds reasonable.

Think of the Guristas as a business; lore says they portray themselves as professional as possible. So, if you're going for the lone-genius act, then make a corporation based as a think-tank or an independent research foundation that was employed by the Guristas. You can pretty much consider them an umbrella organization: they employ lots of people under them that may or may not identify themselves outwardly as Guristas, but they're part of it nonetheless.
