RE: Malefactor – (PowerHouseCreatives Contest)
Ok, my first thought was: "Is it, Jesus." then the term Capital Canabilist came to mind. Not sure if either is relevant though. I think the scale of what you are writing about is more progression than say a plan that was drafted and is only on step 200 out of 1000. It is also one of the ages that are yet to see a revolution, at this point, the entire system is almost perfected and as much as I think we can do with only half or fewer humans I think those at the top have the same in mind but obviously you have to mould the society that is left so each generation would be more obedient than the last, they will take care of their own excess. Ok well, that might be what I would do if I was sitting cosy and could have fun.
congrats on the curie ;)
LOL, I guess you figured it wasn't Jesus pretty quickly. I'm not familiar with the Capital Canabilist term.
I believe you are correct that there is no step-by-step plan being carried out, but I would say there is definitely a plan of some sort being followed, with a specific goal in mind.
I believe it is being carried out according to where on the timeline they find themselves at any moment. His decisions therefore are dependent upon what's happening in the world to an extent. A world in which he already has some global, behind-the-scenes type power.
Since he can't yet completely control the timeline, he can't make the final move, so he doesn't know when, or even if he'll ever be able to make that final move. But he's out there, evil as ever, rest assured.
