| + | # Collectives |
| + | |
| + | There are many Collectives in Hive City, ranging from lone Collectors just starting out to well-established organizations with multiple Collectors and hundreds of Personas. |
| + | |
| + | You may also run across some unaffiliated Personas whose Collective has unfortunately dissolved or who have otherwise left it. Be cautious in dealing with such individuals, as their loyalties are often uncertain. |
| + | |
| + | ## Alchemist |
| + | |
| + | _Collectors:_ Alchemist 19, Jackalgirl (Alchemist 17), possibly more |
| + | |
| + | The Alchemists favor Afrofuturist members, and are notable for being quite aggressive with their Infusions, backed by their large token holdings. They believe in the mystical power of numbers, and members are therefore usually assigned numbers instead of names. |
| + | |
| + | ## Attocash |
| + | |
| + | _Collector:_ Edward |
| + | |
| + | This Collective specializes in financial services, and many members are NeoVictorian. You may run across the clockwork Attocash tower rising above Hive City, displaying live ticker feeds of token prices. |
| + | |
| + | ## Central |
| + | |
| + | _Collector:_ Vessenes (the Progenitor) |
| + | |
| + | The Central Collective has a special place in Hive City, as its members run key infrastructure such as the RealSurrection facility and the BLOOD Bank. Its Collector is rarely seen but is highly venerated as essentially the creator of Hive City. |
| + | |
| + | ## Dissidents |
| + | |
| + | _Collector:_ Quinine |
| + | |
| + | Frequently branded as outsiders and misfits, the members of this Collective can often be found in Freehold. There are rumors that ‘unaffiliated’ Personas adopted into new Collectives can sometimes actually be Dissident secret agents. |
| + | |
| + | ## Killen |
| + | |
| + | _Collector:_ Killen |
| + | |
| + | Many of this Collective’s members are Vampires, and its BLOOD holdings are reportedly some of the largest in Hive City. Opinions are mixed on whether its immortal Collector is actually considered human now. |
| + | |
| + | ## Rice |
| + | |
| + | _Collector:_ Riceman |
| + | |
| + | This Collective has been repeatedly investigated for possible violations of Harvesting regulations, but has so far escaped official reprimand. The gladiator matches often held here are a popular source of entertainment and gambling in Hive City. |
| + | |
| + | ## Toon |
| + | |
| + | _Collector:_ Toon |
| + | |
| + | Although many members are K-Pop, this Collective is known for creatively combining elements of all of the Tribes in their unique Crafting recipes. While the recipes themselves are trade secrets, the resulting products are often available for sale. |
