"Democracy lives on; power should be within everyone's reach."
Argos is Orientia's largest republican, non-governmental organization and lobby. The group is influential in the legislative and executive branches of the Oriental government through its affiliates. Founded in 2042, it was originally a rebel group within Amenria's Pacific States. They own a clubhouse located in Osaka, as well as a retreat just west of Hilo, Hawai'i island.
Overview
Argos is named after Argus Panoptes, a many-eyed giant in Greek mythology. It is a group of business, commerce, efficiency, and creativity. The group also runs the country's institutions, companies, and banks, which makes Orientia more or less an oligarchy. The society's goals are to oppose atheism, abuse of power, obscurantism, and injustice by taking positions in the government of Ascion. "The order of the day," they wrote in their general statutes, "is to put an end to the machinations of the purveyors of injustice". The society has been claimed as the pillar of Orientia's growth and development. The group also described its aims as to "change the world consciousness based on cultural values and to preserve tradition."
History
The organization was found and ventured into the global spotlight during the Third World War and the War of Dusk and Dawn in 2040-2043, and branded themselves as Rising Dawn. The organization played a significant role in supporting and assisting awakened individuals across Asia-Pacific, particularly those around Mugen's subordinates who were caught in the crossfire of the conflict.
Following the conclusion of the War of Dusk and Dawn, according to the Treaty of Jeddah, the organization was re-established under a new name, Argos. With a renewed focus on safeguarding republican and democratic ideals, the organization not only continued its previous missions but also provides facility for republicanism in the world of monarchies.
Objectives
Argos has described six official goals of the organization as:
- "A beautiful traditional sovereignty for Asia-Pacific's future" : Fostering a sense of Asia-Pacific unity and social stability, based around the shared history, culture, and religious values of the Asians and Pacific islanders.
- "A new constitution appropriate for the new era" : Restoring national defense rights, rectifying the imbalance of rights and obligations, strengthening the emphasis on the family system, and loosening the separation of religion and state.
- "Politics that protect the state's reputation and the people's lives": Addressing the loss of public interest in politics and government by taking a more aggressive stance in historical debates and crisis management.
- "Creating education that fosters a sense of Asia-Pacific identity": Addressing various problems arising in the Ascionese educational system (bullying, etc.) and instituting respect for the national flag and anthem of Ascion, and for national history, culture, and religious values.
- "Contributing to world peace by strengthening national security": Strengthening Ascionese defense power in order to counterbalance universal and multiversal hostile powers.
- "Friendship with the world tied by a spirit of co-existence and mutual prosperity": Building friendly relations with foreign countries through social and cultural exchange programs.
Organization
Membership
According to its charters, Argos describes itself as a non-partisan and non-sectarian organization. Membership is available to adults who exhibit qualities of good character, integrity, and leadership, and who have a positive reputation in their respective fields and communities.
To become a member of Argos, one can reach out to a local branch for inquiries. Traditionally, membership in Argos required an invitation, although it is also possible to join without one. Attending a club meeting is often recommended to ensure compatibility and a good fit with the organization.
Structure
The organization is led by its twelve founding members, which holds the title of "Elder". All society-related businesses are to be discussed in a meeting of the twelve elders. The elders position are only replaceable by death. The lower rank members, or Eyes of Argos as stated on their website, are divided into six ranks;
- Paladin (Japanese: 聖騎士, Seikishi)
Paladins are members who manages over the global scope of the organization. Approximately only 100 members are in this rank due to the exclusivity of the rank--being a guild master and third world war veteran is known to be two of the requirement.
- Crusader (Japanese: 十字軍 , Jūjigun)
Same as above; with the jurisdiction reduced to regional scope. Only 1000 members are in this rank as only top 10 awanekeds, and top management of guilds across Orientia are capable of obtaining the rank.
- Zealot (Japanese: 熱狂者 , Nekkyōsha)
Same as above; with the jurisdiction reduced to provincial scope. Most of its members are survivors and War of Dusk and Dawn veterans.
- Warden (Japanese: 管理者 , Kanrisha)
Most of its members are non-guild member awakeneds, or awakeneds in a guild whose guildmaster is a member of the organization.
- Footmen (Japanese: 歩兵 , Hohei)
New recruits of the organization.
- Treasurer (Japanese: 会計係 , Kaikei-gakari)
Treasurers are members who collect annual dues from other members, pay bills, and forward annual dues to Argos.
- Sentinels (Japanese: 哨戒兵 , Shōkahei)
Members of Argos who are tasked to guard the organization from both internal and external harm.
Equipment
Clothing and Accessories
Argos members are not obliged to wear a specific attire, unless they're on a mission. During a mission, members are required to wear specific attires depending on the type. For stealth missions, members are required to wear shinobi-shozoku, or black garb. Its a piece of clothing that has been passed down for generatinos since the existence of ninja during the feudal era of Japan. It was heavily modified to fit with modern trend, resembling similarity with a suit. While for non-stealth missions, members are only required to wear their own choice of armor, but are obliged to be stylish, or fit to any specific fashion trend. Elders are also subject to these rules.
Vehicles
Argos have hundreds of ground and aerial vehicles that are already heavily modified to provide assistance in driving and safety from attempted crash and explosives.
Weapons
Though there is no official statement, but Argos has shown the collections of weapons in their arsenal. Their arsenal consist of melee weapons like mace, hammer, axe, dagger, sword, nunchuck, and ranged weapons such as bow, crossbow, pistols, rifles capable of being infused by Qi, as well as pole weapons such as quarterstaff and spears. Argos is also known to preserve many mythological katana swords, including those made by Masamune, one of the greatest blacksmith ever existed.
Powers and Abilities
Fighting style
Argos members are trained in different martial arts, but many of its members are trained in either Taekwondo, Kung-fu, Kyokushin Karate, Systema and Arnis. All members of Argos are expected to be proficient in any martial arts that suits their style, or learn hybrid martial arts specialized for combat as martial arts helps the use of Ki for hand-to-hand combat.
