The Steel Dragon - Trickster Faunus

The Alexander Weapons Company Founded more then 100 years ago, the AWC has been supplying weapons for hunters of all skill levels and is one of the most prolific weapons companies in Sinnoh. In the beginning, the AWC was one of the few places a Hunter could get a weapon before the process became easier and students were making their own. Nowadays, it concentrates its efforts on developing large-scale weapons and parts for Hunters’ weapons. They often send out engineers to assist with students in making their own weapons. The company is currently owned by Elena Alexander (she kept her name even after marriage), the great-granddaughter of the man who established the company all those years ago. The company’s headquarters is in Sunyshore, Sinnoh, along with the largest factory they own. Workers there are treated to the same rights, regardless of species, gender and sexuality. Discrimination of any kind of not tolerated, and often warrants a visit from Ms. Alexander herself (and she can be a very frightening woman) and on-the-spot dismissal. As such, the majority of workers are Faunus, as treatment in the AWC is far kinder than other companies. The company has had its fair share of problems, however, as anti-Faunus groups have often targeted the company for its alliance to Faunus. The AWC has stuck by its morals though, even when the main company building was attacked twenty years ago, and millions was lost in weapons and engineering. The AWC is very family-orientated, having been passed down in ownership since establishment, but family members are required to go through the same processes as everyone else if they wish to work in the company. One such example is Rowan Darastrix, Ms. Alexander’s husband, who now stands as Chief of Engineering after years of working his way up the ranks. Much of the Darastrix family is involved in the company. Ms. Alexander’s three sons, Liam, Sam and Mal, all work for the company in different ways. Liam is an engineer, Sam goes out onto the field to study the Grimm and his team often test-run new weapons, and Mal is a Dust expert, and has been working in research and development to make more Dust-efficient weapons. They are all treated as equal as the other workers, although Ms. Alexander does like to visit her sons and grandchildren when she gets the chance. Ms. Alexander can often be seen walking the factory floor and is no stranger to wielding a spanner. While not as proficient as her workers, she is happy to lend assistance when she has the time to spare. Important names in the company are:
* I'm willing to let up these positions to anyone who'd like them. On a similar note, Characters' family members are welcome to have jobs in the AWC other than working on the factory floor. The AWC and the Prism Plateau Massacre Being a big employer of Faunus, the AWC lost a lot of workers at that time, as the workforce had been allowed leave to go to the protest. Since then, Ms. Alexander and the company have been a big advocate of Faunus rights, despite opposition and advice to the contrary. Work was slow and the company lost a lot of money due to the loss of workers, but the company managed to get back onto its feet after refilling the workforce. Ms. Alexander and the AWC were at the forefront of the Faunus Rights Movement, donating money and offering their service whenever it was viable for the company to do so. The AWC and Team Galactic Of course, with the AWC being such a supporter of Faunus Rights and having such a high rate of employment for Faunus, the company caught the attention of Team Galactic. Ms. Alexander finds Galactic to be complete nonsense, and awfully tiring. Galactic is often seen picketing and protesting outside the company headquarters and factory. At one point, a secret entrance had to be created for Faunus workers to be able to access the offices and factory without being subject to ridicule or harassment. Services of the AWC While the AWC were once direct suppliers of weapons, now they turn their attention to providing weapons parts for Hunters and making large scale weapons for the military. They also do various research of new prototype weapons and of new Dust-efficient weapons. They will make custom weapons if the Hunter is unable to make it themselves, and they can customise existing weapons to a person's preference. The AWC Overseas While the AWC is known throughout Sinnoh, the company is less well known in other regions. The name may have passed over the lips of others, but otherwise the company is just another company. Only those who follow engineering and weapons design might know who the company is. Jennu and the AWC If you've been the AWC headquarters, there's a likely chance you'll have seen Jennu. Whilst he isn't technically employed there, he can often be seen helping out. If becoming a Hunter falls through for him, he hopes to be able to work for his grandmother's company. Edited by Jennu and Morgan, Jun 5 2015, 02:35 PM.
