WTS

From Cowboy Bebop: Space Cowboy

WTS These are the believers in Báihǔ, Báihǔ is the White Tiger Guardian of the West. Associated with fall/autumn, the color white, and the element of metal. Known in Japan as Byakko, and in Korea as Baekho. Báihǔ is one of the four Si Ling, the Si Ling are four guardian beasts from Chinese mythology. Ancient traditions of WTS were this: When metal is placed in a grave, a ceremonial connection with the tiger god was effected. According to the Chinese Annals of Wu and Yueh, three days after the burial of the king, the essence of the element metal assumed the shape of a white tiger and crouched down on the top of the grave. Here the tiger is a protector - a preserver. As we have seen, white jade was used when the Tiger god of the West was worshiped in ancient times; it is known as 'tiger jade;' a tiger was depicted on the jade symbol. To the Chinese the tiger was the king of all animals and lord of the mountains, and the tiger-jade ornament was specially reserved for commanders of armies. The male tiger was, among other things, the god of war, and in this capacity it not only assisted the armies of the emperors, but fought the demons that threatened the dead in their graves. These ancient beliefs still carry into the modern world, WTS believes in brotherhood and protecting ones brother. Unlike those of RDS, WTS are more on the extremists end rather than the criminal end. They don't believe or recognize any government body, such as ISSP. They believe in the laws of their Al' Mighty.

Gregords Reign

Gregords reign was a short one, and defiantly not the most progressive of Leaders. Leading for only roughly three weeks at the most, Gregord reopened old wounds, once again initiating war with the R.D.S, while the war was going well at first, shortly into the first series of combat Gregord became nervous and paranoid, with a little persuading from Lucy, Sanctus was allowed to join into the WTS despite, supposedly, not meeting standard requirements. The war continued to pound on, the balance shifting from WTS' winning streak, to a brutal and horrible pounding. A valiant effort was given by Gregord to return the WTS to its winning state, an d to pull off a win, too little. Too late. Roughly four to five days after they began losing, Gregord handed control over to Sanctus, while his reign was supposed to end after the war had ended, a misunderstanding between the leader and owner of the clans caused Gregord to be stripped of his position in the middle of the war, and Sanctus promoted to leader. Recent reports show that Gregord was outcasted in the middle of talks with RDS leader Simon about a code of honor, preventing war without a treaty.

Sanctus Reign

information requested

Ariannas revolution.

Shortly into the time after which Gregord had given control of WTS to Sanctus, discontent had begun to spread through its ranks. A purging of what appeared to be loyalists and what appeared to be induction of known traitors and enemy leaders into the clan and allowance of the radio. Lucy had been added to roughly 90% of clan ships, as well as a known traitor Kelris to the Bird of Prey, the WTS capital ship, pilot list. A new person by the name of Trogdor had also been added. All these incidents had sown discontent under Sanctus leadership, and plans of rebellion where discussed against dissenters to the leader. Shortly after this time Ceres, A current member of the WTS, along with Arianna, also a member of the WTS at this time, lured Sanctus to the Event horizon, A ship belonging to Ariannas husband Kain. Ceres had brought Rena along, who was not at the time part of any clans, but a GLM. Shortly after they got Sanctus onto the Event they politely requested he step down from his position of power, and hand over leadership to a current WTS member, Rena and Kain were excluded from these talks, merely there to keep the peace. Shortly after the talks had begun Sanctus became belligerent, approaching Rena and insulting her ability, of course Rena did not take to kindly to being Insulted by a cannibal. Almost immediately after the incident of his approach Ceres fired the first shot, putting a hole through Sanctus' Knee cap. Unfortunately for Sanctus he could not keep his mouth shut, and provoked Rena into attacking him with a large hammer. Shortly after the minor beating to the shoulder and leg, Sanctus attempted to grab Renas leg, causing Ceres to shoot him again, this time blowing off the left arm. Fortunately Kain stemmed the almost overwhelming pain with a light dose of the Eye intended injection drug Yellow eye, Rena had take off angered and feeling rather murderous and under the weather. Shortly after this, with more threats from Arianna and Ceres, Ceres returned and stemmed the bleeding of the missing limb via cauterization with a blow torch. Kain then escorted Sanctus down to Venus General Hospital, where he was treated for his grievous injures. Though no one let slip to the public of Sanctus cannibalism. With this Arianna has taken control of the WTS

Uprising Aftermath.

Shortly after this incident, Arianna began siphoning through the clan radio and inductees, removing known traitors, baggage, and people she felt, along with her recently appointed first Officer Kain, and second officer Ceres, where unworthy of being in the clan. With Lucys removal came a heavy price, as all the ships with her name under the pilots list had there parts stolen, leading suspicion to Lucys sabotage of WTS controlled ships. The WTS capital ships parts had been stolen as well, placing a person by the name of Trogdor under suspicion of sabotage. Sanctus secret has yet to be revealed. A small war between Lucy and the new WTS has been opened into, as well as constant attack and criminalizing of the people involved with Sanctus hospitalization. Unfortunately this provoked a response from those not even involved. The bounty continued to pile up as bounty hunters attacked the WTS members and unclaned involved personnel, a response was given with an attack directly on Lucys apartment. Rena lead this attack due to the unfair way she had been treated for defending herself, shortly after falling gravely ill. Arianna still refuses at this point to fight hand to hand with Lucy, due to her exact reason of being too lazy to get into said fight. Ceres has been seen off and on, as well as kain. The children of Lucy, Arianna, and all other parties involved are apparently being kept out of this inter person war.
