History

Founded by a group of visionary entrepreneurs, PICKED_NAME was established to provide a reliable and trustworthy financial institution for the people of Fondent region. The bank's founders, all passionate Tuxemon trainers and breeders, recognized the need for a bank that understood the unique needs of the Fondent community. In the early years, PICKED_NAME focused on serving the local community, providing loans and financial services to Tuxemon trainers, breeders, and small business owners. The bank's commitment to personalized service and community involvement earned it a reputation as a trusted and reliable partner. As Fondent region grew and prospered, PICKED_NAME expanded its services to meet the evolving needs of its customers. The bank introduced innovative products and services, such as Tuxemon-themed savings accounts and loans specifically designed for Tuxemon training and breeding.

The Rise of the Cathedral and the Need for Independence

In the last 4 decades, the Cathedral, a powerful and influential conglomerate, began to expand its reach into Fondent region. The Cathedral's subsidiaries, including Greenwash, Scoop, Nimrod, Shaft, and Omnichannel, started to dominate various industries, from genetic engineering to media and publishing. PICKED_NAME's founders and management recognized the potential risks of the Cathedral's growing influence and decided to maintain the bank's independence. They believed that a locally owned and operated bank was essential to preserving the unique character of Fondent region and serving the needs of its citizens.

Challenges and Opportunities

Over the years, PICKED_NAME has faced challenges from the Cathedral's subsidiaries, which have attempted to acquire or partner with the bank. However, the bank's commitment to independence and its focus on serving the local community have allowed it to maintain its autonomy. Today, PICKED_NAME is a thriving institution, proud of its heritage and commitment to the people of Fondent region. The bank remains a beacon of independence, providing a trusted and reliable financial partner for the community.

Characters

Enforcer Bob, ex employee (laid off):

• I used to work in risk management at PICKED_NAME, but I had to get out when I realized what was going on. They're cooking the books, hiding transactions, and making shady deals left and right. I couldn't stomach it anymore. I tried to investigate, but every time I got close to the truth, I'd hit a brick wall. It was like they had someone watching my every move, waiting for me to slip up so they could silence me. I'm telling you, something is very wrong with the banking activity at PICKED_NAME.

Rubbish bin:

• As you rummage through the rubbish bin, you find a crumpled up document with a payment receipt from PICKED_NAME to a shipping company called "PICK_SHIPPING_COMPANY". The receipt is for a large sum of money, and the description reads "Payment for shipment of lumber from Archipelago to Fondent Region". Next to it, you find another document with a payment receipt from PICKED_NAME to a construction company called "PICK_CONSTRUCTION_COMPANY". The receipt is for an even larger sum of money, and the description reads "Payment for construction of machine prototype at Fondent Region facility". You also find a torn up piece of paper with some scribbled notes that read: "Meet J at powerplant... discuss energy output... Wood shipments... Prototype... must keep quiet..."

Enforcer Jeff, Cleaner:

• I've been working as a cleaner at PICKED_NAME for years, but lately, I've noticed some weird things. Some employees don't leave their tables without papers, and I'm obliged to throw everything away. It's like they're trying to hide something. I've seen documents with weird codes and symbols, and sometimes I'll find crumpled up papers with numbers and dates that don't make sense. It's like they're trying to cover their tracks. I don't know what's going on, but I do know that I'm not supposed to talk about it. Please, be careful, okay?

• monsters to be decided
• Fine, you've won... but you'll never uncover the truth about the wood shipments to Fondent, it's not just lumber, if you know what I mean... And don't even get me started on the powerplant... the energy output is being manipulated, I'm sure of it. As for the mountains... let's just say I've been getting some very disturbing reports about the 'research' being conducted there... You may have beaten me, but you'll never take down the entire operation. There are those much more powerful than me involved, and they won't hesitate to silence you...
