Wealth
Where Force-oriented factions and characters use physical means to propel their rise to power, those who are Wealth-oriented buy their way to the top. Wealth allows your character to perform acts ranging from minor gifts and political donations to outright bribes and large-scale economic manipulation, and brings a touch of capitalism to your otherwise altruistic political struggle.
Unlike Force-heavy characters, most Wealth-oriented characters are on the up and up. They include the following occupations among their ranks:
• Media Representatives
• Celebrities
• Businessmen
Wealth is a very useful asset, and Wealth characters are among the most versatile in Republic: The Revolution. They are high-profile people and are good at spreading the word about your cause—and, when necessary, spending money to degrade the reputation of a pesky political opponent without resorting to violence. Wealth-affiliated characters and factions are best suited for amassing support for their respective factions.
