The revision of the NWO plot thread I'm working on. Feel free to comment on it as I'm going to sort out the thread as a whole once I'm finished.
The New World Order
Summary The NWO is a underground organization using the Mallory Arms Corp. Weapons manufacturing company as a cover up. Their main base of operations is underneath the main HQ of Mallory Arms and is a large complex spanning several kilometres in size and hundreds of meters in depth, it is there that the main research are conducted, as well as living quarters and training facilities of those who work for the head of the organization, Richard Mallory. The goal of the NWO is the complete annihilation of all spirits of all forms, and anything else that stands in their way. While they try to refrain from putting humans in danger, if they get in their way they will not hesitate to destroy them.
GoalThe long-term goal for the NWO is the "salvation" of Humanity, which they believe that the first step to achieving is by someone powerful such as they themselves taking over in place of the worlds weak and blind leaders. But more importantly is the annihilation of all spirits which they believe will ultimately save the remains of humanity, though even the President knows it's an ambitious goal, what with the uncountable numbers of Shinigami and Hollow that lurk on the borders of their world.
ActivitiesThe NWO's main area of operation lies in the vicinity of Tokyo where spirit activity is high, this is because they see it as their mission to protect the ignorant masses but also for their own need of harvesting spirits for the precious reiatsu that they are made off. Yes, the New World Order captures plus or other weak spirits and after transporting them to one of their facilities begin to extract the reiatsu that is contained within, draining the spirit dry before restarting the process once more putting the spirit in a constant state of agony until the soul can no longer sustain it and it breaks apart, whereupon the machine drains up the remnants before shutting down. Along with this the NWO has small detachments split up over a dozen sub-bases around Tokyo, where the closest one is alerted whenever a spirits signature has been detected on the city-wide radar array that makes up NWO Intelligence, they then use a special box-like machine to absorb the reiatsu of a dying hollow as they dissipate too quickly to bring back to base, not to mention being too big most of the time.
RulesOut Of Character A human in the NWO may not pass above phase 2, signifying that their growth has been stunted by the reiatsu containing effects of the NWO's armor suits. Anyone is allowed to apply for a Commander position as long as they are available but if you have an idea for a position taken by a NPC (Combat Commander, Stealth Commander) then consult me and we may reach an agreement, though it's only likely to happen with the later of the two.
In Character- Never disclose data of NWO activities or Technology to those outside the organization.
- Never disobey a superior Officer, the lives of both you and your fellow soldiers may depend on it.
- Do not fight amongst each others, in-fighting will cripple us and it is vital we remain at top functionality for the great threat we face.
- Do not disclose classified information of Class 5 or higher to those below you or those of other Divisions without explicit permission to do so.
- Always turn in NWO technology to their appropriate storage facilities, never bring them to the home.
- The secrecy of our organization is currently a top priority, never draw unnecessary attention to yourselves while in the line of duty.

NWO Hierarchy
//High Command\\President: Richard Mallory [Identity is Class 10 Classified]
Alias while out in the field is 'Hunter'High Command is the leaders of the NWO, the five Commanders and the President. Though in terms of their own field the Commanders in general hold similar positions as the President an order from the President always holds Class 10 priority, while a Commanders priority level is 9. It is rare for the entirety of the High Command to participate in a single operation, usually only involving more than a single Commander if it's a very big or high-priority operation. Each Commander is head of a certain division within the NWO.
//Combat\\ – Direct Confrontation and Shock Troops.
Commander: "Derrick" – Dekkinga Ekwueme Okeba [Identity is Class 9 Classified]
-Combat Operatives-The elite of the elite, Combat Operatives are heavily armed (and often armored) soldiers who have distinguished themselves above even the ELITEs through either inherent abilities or skill. A Combat Operative is often suited with the Combat Suit line of NWO armor, hence where it's name came from, but other than that both the armor itself and the gear that comes with can be customized toward the Operatives needs including everything from handguns to multi-barrelled rocket launchers or double-plating for the armor itself.
-ELITE Divisions-The ELITE shock-troops of the New World Order, trained in offensive combat these tight-knit groups of specialists carry out vital combat objectives or lead squads of Grunts into battle. During large scale operations it is not unusual for a squad of ELITEs to be put under command of a Combat Operative, however in general these squads of between five to ten people tend to work on their own. Being higher standing individuals compared to their rank-and-file brethren the ELITEs are given more advanced armor and weaponry, however in their current state only special ELITE units such as the HALO Storm or the Ironclad are given full sets of Generation 2 technology. It is not unusual for special ELITE units to be assigned under other Commanders, though the "regular" ELITE squads are all under direct command of the Combat Commander.
-Grunt Divisions-The rank-and-file of the New World Order, former military or mercenaries along with civilians recruited and trained with what is the best soldier training program in the world making even the lowliest of Grunt a capable warrior for the NWO. However as is key with the NWO most Grunt's do not possess any inherent spiritual energy and are thus spirit blind unless they equip special visors provided with their simplified Mk1 Combat Suits based on the Trojan Exo-Skeleton armor. Grunt's operate in squads of nine to fifteen and are experts at working together, covering each others backs causing a whole squad of them to become troublesome even for seated Shinigami to take down clean, but in general they are trained to fight Hollow and are not really capable of avoiding or anticipating the fast attacks a shinigami or similar enemy may lay out on them, though even experienced Shinigami may find bullets hard to avoid.

=====
NWO TechnologyThe New World Order's technology is well and beyond that of their real world counter-parts, with standard issue guns capable of shooting large gaping holes through solid concrete or cut perfect holes through the strongest metals known to man. On top of this they have exo-skeleton powered armor suits that make their soldiers capable of lifting objects five times their own weight and withstand even high-powered explosives such as tank shells. All this is accomplished through their unique use of fusing spiritual energy "Reiatsu" with metals and other materials on the molecular level, bonding the two otherwise foreign components togheter to create a much more powerful material that is both reiatsu resistant but allows for easy reiatsu empowerment, creating the perfect defense and offensive material.
However this practice has met it's peak after their Generation 2 Technology, and they have since sought ways to improve it with varying forms of success. Regardless the NWO is not all about weapon technology, they have what is probably the most sophisticated cybernetic Techs on Earth, not to mention their amazing Biotechnology division that made the complete revitalization of one of their near-dead operatives a possibility, as the man was fried to a mere husk.
Dominion through Technological Advancement, the New World Order seek to establish complete control over the Spiritual World that threatens Humanity, and it will do so at any cost to themselves or anyone.
=Definitions=A list of explanations for certain terms or a more technical rundown of how the NWO's technology works.
Reiatsu Enforced Materials - REMThe process in which the materials used by the New World Order to create their more advanced pieces of equipment is known as "Spiritual Energy Infusion", or SEI. Early in the organizations life this was done through a brute-force method of attempting to force reiatsu particles into already finished pieces and while softer materials such as their Metal Weave (Defined later) absorbed them easily enough actual metals repelled them mostly and it limited the particle bonding. As their technology and know-how advanced they found that 'weaving' the reiatsu particles into the metals during their forming process yielded much higher results which was the advent of Generation 2 Tech, even if some Generation 1 Tech is still widely used due to it's ease of mass production.
Self-Destruct Failsafe - SDFAfter discovering just how powerful Shinigami could be, that they were simply not spirits with swords, the NWO decided that protecting their equipment from enemy examination was vital and so developed the SDF, a system present in almost all NWO technology that uses the equipments own sensors or microscopic ones added for the express purpouse of the SDF that has a very complex Identify Friend/Foe algorithm that when it meets certain criteria will automatically trigger a "self-destruct" of the piece in question. The self-destruct itself is done via a minimal trigger located in each major portion of an armor suit or each detachable part of a weapon that sends an electromagnetic pulse with a special ID unique to that piece of tech, or group of tech depending on type that when it "hits" said tech causes the reiatsu infused in the materials to "discharge". The result is frying both the materials themselves and any circuitry and anything within a one-meter radius in case of an armor suit, including the wearer should the right criteria for it have been met. Certain pieces of tech can be re-wired as explosives by using this system, though even few ELITEs know this system exists at all. The system can also be triggered remotely by the President, using the NWO's Radar Grid to activate the process.
Modified Conventional Firearms - MCFNeeding weapons to combat the Spiritual threat the NWO logically turned to the already present weapons created by Mallory Arms, however knowing that a regular gun would be inefficient they applied a similar method of Reiatsu infusion as with the REM, both in their Bullets (Defined later) and after discovering that the bullets themselves packed a lot more punch after the infusion, they had to strengthen the materials of the weapons themselves. Once the more advanced method of creating REM was developed they began to make weapons from the ground up, making alterations from the base construction they were based on. While most Generation 1 MCF use the original infusion method anything above use the more advanced one, at which point the guns pack a tremendous amount of punch with most being too powerful for a regular person to wield efficiently.
Directed Energy Weapons - DEWThe DEW are highly advanced pieces of technology using laser weapon theories as a base while using Reiatsu and their advanced technology to produce a similar result. While DEW weaponry created by the NWO do not possess the capability of firing energy in anything close to light speed the speed of the projectiles are still many times past that of any MCF weapon currently developed, along with carrying much less recoil, extensive "mag size" and pin-point accuracy along with advanced Suit Integration enabling more efficient computer aided tracking. There is one major flaw to the current DEW designs however which is the biggest reason for them to not yet be a standard issue even among ELITEs. Pure Reiatsu projectiles do not carry as much weight as a bullet/slug, thus piercing and stoping power is limited and while capable of being made very powerful, the more energy is added to the shot the slower the shot becomes along with taxing of the gun itself. At the current time DEW's are created in order to combat entities capable of "Instantaneous Bursts of Speed" such as higher level Shinigami.
Metallic Weave-The Generation 3 equivalent is known as "Nano-Fibre Weave"
Metallic Weave is a machine generated material that combined the properties of various metals and fabrics to create a highly flexible material which is used extensively by the NWO both in the construction of the NWO Armor Undersuit as well as under extensively complex Armor Suit plating and between gaps where mobility is a necessity, often having additional layers or a very light form of plating over exposed areas as Metallic Weave is not as durable as the REM plating. Another practical appliance of using the Metallic Weave over a simple bodysuit is the cushioning it can provide, as NWO Operatives are prone to being hit hard, and the Metal Weave then helps soften the blow to make them able to recover faster. When used in the making of Undersuits circuitry and other systems are woven into the material itself providing both protection from damage as well as preventing misshaps between the user and the suit.
NWO ProjectilesWhile the NWO use mostly bullets in their standard weaponry those bullets are still in need of alterations as they are meant to be used on Spirit Entities, after extensive trial and error testing they found that the optimal solution to both expand the power of the bullet itself is to replace the propellant with something that yields a higher explosive pressure, while the actual bullet is infused with reiatsu to both increase direct impact and piercing power but mostly to allow the bullet to affect Spirit Entities. The NWO has a large variety in their bullet sizes and use, though due to often fighting Hollow who often have thick carapaces most Grunt's are outfitted primarily with armor piercing rounds.
//Generation 1\\Generation One is where the origin of NWO tech began, most weapons being modified from ones already produced by Mallory Arms for commercial purpouses. With the advent of the first Combat Suit their climb to perfection and dominance began.
=Armor Suits=Mk1 Combat SuitThe very first form of Reiatsu powered armor suit created by the NWO, the Spirit Combat Suit Mark 1 was made by forcibly combining reiatsu into steel plating and a special weave of metal and fabric creating a tough and durable outer shell. The armor also had an early version of an Exo-Skeleton construction which helped the wearer support the weight of the suit along with carry more equipment while maintaining speed though the earlier variations restricted speed quite a bit.
-----Sub-Category:
Soldier ClassThe 'Grunt' class of Combat Suits are currently in a state of mass production, using a simplified template of the original Mk1 suits while certain aspects have seen frequent efficiency upgrades as their technology has improved over the years. The Soldier Class Mk1 Combat Suit has the same armor plating as any other Mk1 Suit and while it also has an Exo-Skeleton it's only powerful enough to support the suits own weight rather than to really improve the strength of the wearer. This is both in terms of general efficiency but mostly because the majority of Grunts doesn't even have enough reiatsu to see spirits, thus the otherwise vital part of connecting the suit with the wearer has been removed. Though lacking a lot of gear present in more advanced suits, the Soldier Class comes equipped with a standard Mk1 Spirit Visor.
-----Sub-Category: ELITE Class
The "Standard" Armor Suit for the elite of the NWO's rank-and-file, the ELITE class Mk1 Combat Suit while fairly similar to the Soldier Class surpasses it indefinitely with it's support for connecting ones reiatsu reserves with that of the Suit while also possessing a number of additional features such as the Spirit Scanner, a simplified Levitation system along with an improved Exo-Skeleton and with the armor circuitry incorporating some Generation 2 technology.
