"All under the will of the God. (神様の意志のままに, Kami-sama no ishi no mama ni)"
— The group's motto
Omega is a non-governmental organization from Orientia that is a front for awakened humans across the globe who holds republican and democratic values. Being a multi-purpose organization, they are also involved in dimensional rift explorations and research over unidentified lifeforms. As such, they have their own paramilitary squads that aids their exploration teams and defend against extraterrestrial attacks. Founded in 2040, it was originally a group of Asian awakeneds that fought against the Devil in the Third World War, then a rebel group in Amenria before finally re-established as an NGO as instructed by the Treaty of Jeddah in 2043.
Being the largest organization in Orientia, Omega holds significant amount of shares in various companies and awakened guilds (that are coincidentally owned by high-ranked Omega members) such as the Ares Guild. This resulted in them having the most S-rank awakeneds, which was assigned as leaders for their elite squads, where each squad consist of at least eight A-rank awakeneds and two S-rank awakened as leaders.
Omega was the first among other organizations and governments to explore permanent dimensional rifts. As such, they hold ownership over these permanent rifts and utilize them for public use, mainly for awakened training. Other permanent rifts that were discovered to have abundant resources, are closed for public and leased to private companies.
They own a clubhouse located in Tokyo, Vancouver and Vladivostok, as well as a retreat just west of Hilo, Hawai'i island.
Overview
Omega was originally found and ventured into the global spotlight during the Third World War when multiple awakeneds in East Asia formed a group named Rising Dawn, to defend the planet from the Devil's invasion. Omega 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. As the war ended, Rising Dawn was absorbed and helped founding Amenria. Despite this, many of its members did not agree with the foundation of a monarchy under Tianshi, with some members leaving and formed an unnamed group in Formosa, occasionally clashed with Pro-Amenrian supporters.
As time passed with Amenrian rule in Asia-Pacific, Mugen and several other remaining members slowly grew displeased with the absolute monarchal government of Tianshi. In September 2041, Mugen reconciled with the ex-members of Rising Dawn in Formosa, and with the same goal of abolishing monarchy rule, secretly spread the seeds of rebellion across the country. Clashes between Rising Dawn members and Amenrian police were common; and it was not until two years later in 9 February 2043, when Rising Dawn stormed Tianshi's palace in the middle of Mutiara, triggering a devastating fight between Mugen and Tianshi. The fight ended in June 2043.
Following the end of the War of Dusk and Dawn, according to the Treaty of Jeddah, the organization was re-established under a new name, Omega. 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
Omega has described six official goals of the organization as:
- "A beautiful traditional sovereignty for Earth's future" : Fostering a sense of unity and social stability, based around the shared history, culture, and religious values.
- "A new constitution appropriate for the new era" : Restoring democratic values, rectifying the imbalance of rights and obligations, strengthening the emphasis on republican system, and promoting 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 identity": Addressing various problems arising in the global educational system (bullying, etc.) and instituting respect for human history, culture, and religious values.
- "Contributing to world peace by strengthening national security": Strengthening humanity's defense power in order to counterbalance against multiversal hostile powers.
- "Friendship with the world tied by a spirit of co-existence and mutual prosperity": Building friendly relations with multiversal lifeforms through social and cultural exchange programs.
Organization
Membership
According to its charters, Omega describes itself as a non-partisan and non-sectarian organization. Membership is available to adult awakeners who exhibit qualities of good character, integrity, and leadership, and who have a positive reputation in their respective fields and communities. Awakeners below the age of 21 who wish to be a member of Omega are trained in Omega's youth wing, the Omicron.
To become a member of Omega, one can reach out to a local branch for inquiries and have their powers tested by using a measurement tool. One can also engage in a fight with hologram monsters should the measurement tool didn't provide an accurate result. Traditionally, membership in Omega required an invitation, although it is also possible to join without one. Attending a 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 are then divided into four positions; First Order, Second Order, and Third Order. Every organizational matters that leads to decision (which, may be used to lobby the government) must be held in the presence of First Order members.
