Characters
Signing up to the Symposium #ZA381 is usually a matter of recruitment and assignment. IC, one can assume much background referencing and checking is performed to insure a spy or psycho isn't allowed into local ranks. That includes the prevention of Tradition, Marauder, and Nephandi spies. When submitting one's character's name to be added to the TUGs roster, please include only his Convention.
The only limitations are in the core Advantages: no Masters or characters with Enlightenment exceeding 5 will be allowed. This has less to do with potential power abuse and more to do with illogical social stratification. The leaders of the construct are and always will be background NPCs that will almost never be seen (except in plotlines a player may choose to run).
Below is a current character roster of those PCs involved in the FDS game. Even the most basic information regarding these characters (Convention, Rank) must be discovered IC. Only the name of the player of the character will be listed; contacting said player is left to his peers' devices (the mailing list is one method).

The NPC leaders are as follows, noting that no stats are listed -- this is left solely to the imagination of any player who wishes to use them in a plotline. Each Convention has a leading NPC figure; these two are simply the most prominent.

Lethu Cebo (Dreamspeakers/Life, Prime, & Spirit)
Amalgams
The formation of amalgams in Symposium #ZA381 is generally assigned, but some come together informally. They are well-advised, both IC and OOC. Players wishing to run plots can more effectively wind them around established (or establishing) amalgams instead of random characters.
