I. GENERAL INFORMATION — PLEASE READ
THE SILPH COMPANY IS A CANON GROUP BASED IN HOENN. Details pertaining to Silph Co. will be stored here to familiarize players with the group’s impact in Hoenn. This history has been built up through multiple threads and serves as an overarching plot between characters. Due to the in-character lore attached to this group, inclusion as a member will require approval to ensure a cohesive narrative that respects pre-established details.
[break][break][break]
Jokingly, many members refer to this group as the unofficial ‘third faction’ of Hoenn. Due to the custom user class, players will need to clarify which faction they are representing during events. For the most part, the Silph Company will be recognized as
CIVILIANS.

II. FIRST ARC — ENEMY OF TRUST
AFTER DISASSOCIATING FROM THE LEAGUE, Silph Co. aims to consolidate their foothold in the region with the acquisition of several key resources. The recent buyout of Devon Corp. has established Silph Co.’s reign as the world’s wealthiest conglomerate. Paired with Fernando’s exclusive contract as a member of the
AQUA INITIATIVE, the company now has access to three sources of information. All that’s left is for the company to secure the region’s key players in its never-ending quest for a brighter future.
[break][break][break]
Business at Devon Corp. largely remains the same. The CEO,
DAPHNE STONE, retains control of major operations while Silph Co. steers their direction when needed. Their current research into Ultra Beast has been accelerated due to their joint venture with Silph Co.’s Poipole reserves. Underneath the surface, Devon Corp. is used as a shell company to stock talent that either can’t make the cut at Silph Co. or doesn’t fit company culture.
[break][break][break]
Those who wish to make a character involved with Devon Corp. should contact
DAPHNE STONE for more details. For additional plotting assistance, you can also reach out to
FERNANDO SILPH.
[break][break][break]
The absence of League related projects has redirected focus onto research into Legendary Pokemon, genetics, and dimensional rifts. Fernando’s efforts in monopolizing the region’s scientist and researchers has lead to the recruitment of
illeana reyes,
amalia samson, and @joan. Unbeknownst to them, the price of being able to follow their life's passion is having their research culminated as fuel for
PROJECT AVALON.
[break][break][break]
Those who wish to join with a character that does not already work for Silph Co. can reach out for more info. As a note, this is a full time job in-character. Characters that work for The League or Team Rocket may be requested to sever ties going forward.
[break][break][break]
As objects of interest awaken, Silph Co. has enlisted the help of remarkable trainers to ensure they fall into the right hands—theirs.
Katherine Fairburne,
cait alfric, and
Raziel Beckett have been coerced into working under Silph Co. for their own unique reason. Their search for
ARCEUS PLATES,
SILVALLY MEMORIES,
PRIMAL FRAGMENTS,
XERNEAS REMNANTS, and other artifacts continues. Should anyone dare get in their way, they’re to be handled as these retainers see fit.

III. PLOT REFERENCES — A DAY AT SILPH CO.
A COMPANY AS LARGE AS SILPH CO. comes with a variety of rules and cultures. For department unrelated to science, technology, or engineering, the difference from another Fortune 500 is minimal. The exception is that Silph Co. is known to fire under performing employees. This is so common among new hires that their turnover rate sits at an embarrassingly high percentage.
[break][break][break]
In the sciences, Silph Co. is unmatched. It is the undisputed number one destination for those looking to pad their resumes or make groundbreaking discoveries. Competition is fierce and acceptance rate for applicants sits at an astonishingly low 2.45%. For those that make it, they face a new level of toxic work environments. Long hours, low pay, and constant competition wears down on those until they either burn out or get fired.
[break][break][break]
Anyone who is able to withstand such working conditions is a guaranteed shoe-in elsewhere. Most are willing to sacrifices a year of being miserable in exchange for a golden ticket to their company of choice. Many will find their transition cathartic, leaving behind their role of being just one among many to shining as world class performers.
[break][break][break]
Those that stay on and/or produce results will find their sacrifices rewarded. After employees prove themselves with tenure, the pay bump increase exponentially. Those in leadership roles find themselves ‘indispensable’. As long as their performance matches their request, no price is too steep for proven talent.
[break][break][break]
However, financial compensation is rarely the reason personnel stay on. Silph Co. provides researchers an opportunity they cannot find elsewhere. A collection of Ultra Beast, never before seen Pokemon, and Avatars lie at their disposal. A wide assortment of Dittos remain onsite to recreate these magnificent beast when needed.
[break][break][break]
Over the past decade, the company has embraced a more technological vision. The historic achievement of creating Porygon has pioneered advancements in The Internet of Things as well as cyber security. Their state of the art network serves as the brand standard with an impenetrable firewall to boot.
[break][break][break]
Those who wish to ‘hack’ into Silph Co. can reach out. If interest is shown a small mini-game may be created. It should be noted, that attempting to do so may have in-character consequences.

IV. IC KNOWLEDGE — THE ROLE OF INFORMANT IN NARRATIVES
PER THE COURSE IN ROLEPLAYING, high impact decisions that affect multiple characters should be communicated prior to committing to canon. While Silph Co. is not impervious to leaks, those not intimately involved in the group should reach out beforehand.
[break][break][break]
Current canon dictates that science based characters have full access to their own research. Additional information is locked down by security clearance. Long-term employees are granted more access over years while newer ones must make formal requests. Information characters provide the organization can be shared as they see fit in-character.
[break][break][break]
For additional details, as well as inquiries about such plots, feel free to reach out. Actions that end with detrimental results are not discouraged but a certain level of nuance is expected to respect pre-established character traits and canon.
