Katipunan

**Dev. Status** | Conceptual

*"Beautiful land of love, o land of light,*

*In thine embrace 'tis rapture to lie.*

*But it is glory ever, when thou art wronged*,

*For us, thy sons to suffer and die."*

- *"Lupang Hinirang (Land of the Morning)"* by Julian Felipe and Jóse Palma, still sung by Katipuneros everywhere in the country.
The Katipunan is a minor fan faction created by Zone and Weeb King.

## Background

### Touch Us Not

If Poland has a mutual counterpart in Southeast Asia, it might as well be the Philippines. Possessing predominant Catholic populations, both countries are currently locked in struggles with a power bloc bigger than them currently occupying their homelands.

But while Polish resistance fighters are duking it out since the end of WWII, the Filipinos have been doing it for four centuries now. Starting with the Spanish colonial rule, a *lot* of revolts were launched against it at the span of 377 years. Whether incited by native priests unwilling to bend over to Roman Catholicism, sultanates aiming to push back Hispanization, or directly wronged individuals seeking to gain vengeance, many of these insurgencies were quickly put down; their leaders executed due to the majority of Filipinos fighting with them instead of against them.

## Sons of the Nation

*"My father lived his life and died his death here. So did his father. And the fathers before him. I will not break that line. I will make sure that me, you and our children will see our lifetimes in our country! Let them come! Let them fight! Thousands of us have died, but they died protecting their families and they died in the soil where they grew up! Can those soulless Imperials say the same?""*

- Gen. Juan Ponce Enrile, a respected leader within the Katipunan.

### Deathmatch Reinforcements

***Haribon* Cell (Philippine Eagle)**

A Philippines-based Talon operation, the *Haribon* cell imparts to the Katipunan what they lack: raw firepower.

## Behind the Scenes

The Democracy's first form was refugees who fled to China only to be sent into another dimension where they were warped into teleporting beasts who view the world with twisted ideals (good intentions, evil methods). They were sorta like the Democracy right now, with their ability to survive, but where they just had lots of escape options (invisibility, speed boosts, teleportation) the Now-Democracy can survive the power their enemies have.

The third (current) version of the Democracy is a minor faction with a focus on hastily made traps and emplacements. So play mind screw with your opponent, because the Movement doesn't have enough firepower to do anything else, at least until the Haribon squads show up. The Current Katipunan movement is a reimagining of the Democracy made primarily by Weeb King.

Zone and Weeb King are actual Filipinos. Their attempts to look at things from the outside, inside, opposition, ally and as a neutral party gives them a nice starting grip on what the Philippines is, was and what the world sees it as. Having access to the Internet to search about the Philippines also helps.

Worth nothing: of ***no*** relation to the other KKK.
