Ark

And many more

The so much famous **Ark**, founded by Aku, after the election it was founded again by Hoesmad, was a faction that was an anti-shadcord governing that in the end fell to the tricks of it's own members.

## **Origins Of The Faction**

The faction was founded on one premise alone, to rise awareness of the corruption that it's happening inside of Shadcord administration system, which led to many people joining it after they saw and observed the ins and outs of the problem. Founded by Aku, it was under the name of **The Boys**, referring at him and Hoesmad as them being "the boys".

It's main purpose was to harbor the people who were unfairly exiled from Shadcord and get them a pass back in through diplomatic means. That was the main reason of it's whole foundation at first since Aku was exiled after he disagreed with the administration on certain subjects.

### The Fame

After more and more people were exiled from Shadcord, Aku and Hoesmad moved further on, accepting all the exiled members into their faction. Aku seeing that this plan works quite well for him and Hoesmad, he decided to move to another place with the faction, the zones in the uncharted wasteland, the zone where Sam, The General owns the place.

Aku, pretending that he is a fan of the Emperor of Mankind, he has gathered quite a goon squad from Sam's place to join **The Boys**, succeeding in his plan and spreading the name of the faction further into the wastes.

### Emperor's Chosen

After Aku has completed his objective on spreading the rumors of this faction he has created, 3 men, one of them being IronPanzer, have joined the faction. IronPanzer and Hoesmad developed a friendship like none other over time while Aku did all the work in the background, maintaining the faction so it won't fall into the corners of the unknown.

## **Union's Coming**

After UnionGuy was also exiled from Shadcord, his friend Aku accepted him into the faction to regain his pass back into Shadcord and to not be an exiled anymore, that plan failed completely after they have tried multiple times but the administration feared him, so his return was a no.

With his arrival, there were three more people as well, Michelangelo, Dreamer and The High Priestess, and there was another thing that came with him, a plan that would dictate the future of his clan.

## **The Union Game**

After UnionGuy befriended Hoesmad and the other members of the faction, he made himself known there just to further his plan that led to the Fall of The Boys. Feeding Aku the idea of an "democracy" and a "choice", he also fooled Hoesmad with the same promise of a "better future".

He knew that they could be easily fooled, and the truth was that it was just like that, they were just a bunch of virgins that ventured into the wasteland, not knowing what bad and good actually is. With this, **The Boys** fell happened and the **Ark** was reformed.

## **The Rise Of Ark**

After Hoemad has fallen to the mind games of UnionGuy and Michelangelo, they have lost everything, **The Boys** was gone. With most of the faction members moving on to the Union Clan or to other unknown factions, Hoesmad, despite the defeat, he wanted to rebuild the faction again, but not knowing how to lay the foundation, Aku stepped in and did all the work again, and **The Boys** was reformed, but this time it was under the name of **Ark**, a name that was given by none other than Aku.

### The Break

After Aku rebuilt the faction, **Ark** regained popularity but not as it's first form and not as half of the popularity that the Union Clan was getting at that time. Aku gave supreme power to Hoesmad, but Aku was laying around in wait for bad things to happen so that he can take over again under his name and fame. After some disputes appeared between the faction members that Hoesmad is not a good leader and Aku should be in his place, a vote was made by the higher ups of the faction, a vote that resulted in 4 to 3, with Hoesmad winning the elections and Aku with the other members backing him up to leave the faction forever. Hoesmad remained with his own for a long time, but he never learned how to lead and instead relied on others to do it for him, leading to more disasters to come his way and many other members like VANIP to leave his side and join Union Clan.

## **Suspicions**

When Hoesmad was found as a morally corrupted person by the Union Shogunate, he fled into the depths of his faction, only ending up to paint himself as the coward he always was, and every time he would be encountered outside his faction, he would throw everyone who considered him as a friend under the bus just for himself to escape. The fall of the faction was imminent, after the rest that were not on the same wave length as he was, left him.

## **Remains and Legacy**

It is unknown if the faction still stands but it is known that the "leader", Hoesmad was assassinated by Spastic Sponge after UnionGuy gave out the order for his head, and the faction fell into a chaotic hell.
