Ossuary

Ossuary, originally known as Elephant Graveyard, is a constantly shifting group of enviormentally conscious villains.

Modus operandi

Were originally an animal rights group that called themselves elephant graveyard that expanded their purview to include stewardship of the entire biosphere.<ref name="II1.8 e1">He didn’t respond to that. He picked up a file, paging through it.

“Which one is that?”

“Ossuary. Why leave it out?”

“They’re back, or they will be soon,” I said. “Activist villains with a heavy focus on environment. They wouldn’t call themselves villains, I don’t think. Long list of really messy executions, longer list of leaders with very short tenures, who try to pull a very disparate group together, fail, and abdicate.”

“Were they the ones who used to call themselves Elephant Graveyard?”

“That’s the one. One of the early leaders pushed the name change along with a shift away from focusing on animals and animal welfare,” I said. “I liked Elephant Graveyard more, I think. Clunky, but clunky in a way that stands out, and it made for really good imagery, when they left a spray painted calling card.” - Excerpt from Daybreak 1.8</ref>

Structure

Leadership had a high turnover rate, given the need to get multiple disparate capes working together.<ref name="II1.8 e1" /> This possibly meant that the group had rapidly mutating agendas and tactics.

PRT Response

While they would not strictly call themselves villains they were labeled as such by the authorities. Given their history of executions of their targets the authorities would see this as justified.<ref name="II1.8 e1" />

History

Background

A group of environmental activists who banded together.<ref name="Sv1">It's worth stating that one of the underling ideas driving the formation of groups and ideological factions in the Wormverse is the notion that some people get a voice where they otherwise wouldn't. Give an immense amount of power to a (relatively) random section of the population and you'll see certain shifts in the overlying sentiments.

All the more so when you think that a parahuman with aspirations might latch on to an idea, concept, or group to get reputation, resources, and contacts. - Comment by Wildbow on Sufficient Velocity</ref>
