Hey there it's Unknown with another Ideafic if anyone wants to take it this is just something that's been rattling around in my head for a while so I that to just get it out and see if anyone would take it and see what they could do with it. Big disclaimer I don't own anybody but the recluse and any other characters are the property of several other companies and corporations whose names would take too long to type. And warning this is meant for +18 and up for some of the characters I've used come from more adult-oriented media. Anyway read and hit me back with P.M. and review.
Bangkok, Thailand
Beep-boop-beep..."we're sorry the number you have dialed cannot be reached at this time. Please hang up and try again" said the operator on the other side of the phone as it's owner simply hung up and looked back up in the sky. It would have been pleasant if not for the incessant ringing in his ears, the smell of smoke and burning debris, or even the long metal thing that's skewering out of his side. It was just supposed be a simple lone delivery job that he thought he could handle on his own, but fate proved to be bitch and humorous one as well. It soon led to an all out gunfight which then caused a massive explosion killing everybody but him. He wondered why him? What was his purpose in life? It all started out as a kidnapping which then turned to a recruitment test and since then he has been successful... well mostly successful. He can never get those three moments out of his head that he wished never happened; the looks on their faces... he tried to do what he thought was right, didn't he. Yet it proved futile and led to more bad memories, and he can never forget the three that made him realized where he stood.
"Think you're so big and bad hiding behind you're men and weapons. Well i'll show you i'll show you and all your men if I ever get the chance, bitch!"
"I was the only one who wanted to help him selflessly; it was the only way to get what everyone wanted. And you want to get pissed at me for the collateral."
"And finally, you I was fool to think something could happen between us, and yet I kept trying. Now here I am bleeding and stuck like a pig; DAMN YOU!"
The man finished cursing to the sky even though nobody would hear him as he reached in his pocket for his smokes; trying to get at least one before he dies. He sticks the cigarette between his lips and got out his lighter; he tries to light it but, the flame won't stay on. "Goddammit!" he said to himself laying his head back down when all of a sudden his cigarette was lit.
He turned to see a man wearing a red suit sitting next to him cross legged on the ground with a smile on his face holding a lit matchstick. "Having problems there, friend?" he asked in a friendly tone. "Depends, though it doesn't matter now that i'm going to die" the downed man said nonchalantly as he blew smoke. "Mmhhhmm... it would seem life dealt you a bad hand; what would you say to a redraw?" his mysterious guest said causing the man's eyes to look up in interest. "What do you mean?" the smoker asked; "I mean a chance to make something of yourself; to do things your way and teach those who wronged you a lesson. Oh, but where my manners, I am the Bedlam Recluse. At your service" he said tipping his hat while slightly bowing.
"Say I accept what then?" he said. "First we get you out of this mess then we start from there" the Recluse answered as he stood up and slowly helped the young man out of his position though it was agonizingly painful for him to do so with removing the long metal pole from his hip. "Excellent now let's get you patched up so we can begin recruitment" the recluse said; "Recruitment?" wondered the injured smoker. "Of course if you're going to be a leader you'll need followers. Some that can be reached only through these" he said as a blue swirling portal has appeared. "This cannot be real!" he said to himself in denial; "It can be if you put your mind to it; now lets go we have some searching, talking, and cloning to do" Recluse said as they entered the portal. "Huh?!" was the last thing the man said as they fully entered and the portal closed just before the authorities arrived.
Weeks later.
At a different world inside a chamber stood a long table with several chairs surrounding it. Approaching the front was the man who was injured now fully healed and in a more expensive suit than his simple and plain business attire. "Welcome everybody as you are no doubt wondering why you are here. I was once a simple person within a twilight, not on the side of good but, never on the side of evil. That in turn caused some problems with a few of my associates telling me to pick a side and accept the way things are, but I say why not stay where and do try to change things" he said as he pulled a small object and held it up in his hand for all to see. It was a film used to print pictures and other information in a tiny form. "This is a microfilm which contains the records of the transactions of one hundred billion in secret bank accounts in several economic strongholds. And based on inflation, it would be worth 1.3 trillion dollars today; so what I am saying is for you to join me and this money will be split up to all of you to jump-start your own divisions within the United Dimensional Sovereignty. I have a plan that will soon lead to us being the ones in charge if it succeeds so who will work with me as partners, if you accept step up and pick up a letter" he said as sixteen individuals stepped up and picked a letter before saying it:
"Omicron" said a intellectual female voice.
"Psi" said a suave female voice.
"Sigma" said a roguish male voice.
"Iota" said a gentlemanly male voice.

"And i'm Alpha or as I was once known as Rokuro Okjiama a.k.a Rock. From this moment we are known as The Sub Rosa Imperative: Where everything and everyone has a price" said the Japanese Businessman.
