Character Name and Level: @Jacob Tagger Level 1 (deceased)
Character Rank: Independent Journalist

Name of Plot: Negative Press

Participants in the plot (Character accounts): @Jacob Tagger (credits to @Daniel Solus, please!) @Saorise Kallig @Lyanna Drast @Larisa Arkyadvich @Larun Durante @Darth Vrael @Narir Solus @Braden Drake (DM) @Rowan Harlow @Aila Roas

Intended Outcome of Plot: Jacob Tagger was always looking for the story. Whatever it might be. However when a story literally crashed into him one morning on Coruscant, he realized that he could do more than just report the story. Never satisfied and always suspicious of Sith rule, he took his opinion and grievances onto the galactic stage. By inserting himself into certain situations and interviewing key people he was able to further his agenda: Shed unkind light onto the Sith Dynasty that had ruled the galaxy for centuries.

The events of the galaxy gave him the fuel he needed and his own keen intellect provided the spin and direction for his investigations and reports. Though he did not set out at first to become a voice for change and an open dissident, that is how it unfolded. His cause became to reveal to the galaxy the corruption and cruelty of their rulers. Be it neglect, covert criminal activity or, in the case of his death, out right murder, it was all something that he thought the people of the galaxy needed to know.

Actual Outcome of Plot: Jacob Tagger through his fiery articles and stories, with the assistance of Nastia Vant was able to deal a number of massive political blows to the Empire. Their image, even before the assassination of Emperor Elix and the death of Empress Lyanna at the hands of Darth Vrael, had been compromised in the public eye.

When he finally pushed too far and was murdered by Empress Lyanna, his last act was to make sure the recording of his death was made public. In a desperate plea to the galaxy, Nastia Vant called for open action and rebellion. In her broadcast, following the tireless work of Jacob she was able to present the galaxy with knowledge of new, growing powers. Powers that did bow to the Empire and their iron fist. It was a devastating political blow to the Empires.

Hey @Lucid!

So, a couple of things about this retroactive. Firstly, per the plot rules, the maximum number of threads allowable in a plot is 11. I count 16 here, so at least 5 of them would need to be cut out. Second, since this is not a faction plot, your character would need to be involved in all the threads submitted for it to count towards the plot total.

I'm a little bit iffy on allowing the HoloNet news articles, because in many of them, it's only one post from you followed by reactions. However, since your character is a journalist, I'm going to make an exception for this and allow you to submit the plot; BUT you need to remove the threads your character was not physically apart of (and ensure that the total number of threads does not exceed 11).

Once you do that, tag me and I'll continue my evaluation!

@Malon.

Edits made! I left rise up in because it was kind of the penultimate thread that all of this ended up leading to. I left it lower and out of the actual list should you choose not to include it!

Thanks a bunch for being so open to this plot submission!

Done! I had to leave out Rise Up because it was a 12th thread and I can only include 11.

@Braden Drake - I need to know where your DM credits are going.

@Nefieslab - Lyanna is ded, so I need to know where you want your credits.
