[Omniverse/Conspiracy Thriller] Conquered Souls

In the Invictus, a very prolific mercenary company, sometimes people just don't see eye to eye. Sometimes they agree to disagree, sometimes things get heated, but not often do things turn violent.

When you make your profit from war, you know things can go violent at any time. You exercise caution when dealing with strangers, you trust your own.

But, what happens when you can't trust your own anymore? Conquered Souls is the story of how the Invictus splits into two rival factions, one lead by Ariadne Kale in favor of a more corporate Invictus more interested in profit, and another lead by Fatin Alfarsi in favor of helping out the little guy, even if it means losing a little money or coming up short, embroiled in a violent conflict for the fate of the organization.

Ariadne, disloyal, and not very trusting of the government Ariadne has the Invictus aiding, and not afraid to get her hands dirty, arranges for Fatin's disappearance and begins manipulating the public to believe she has gone rogue by framing her for murder, terrorism, and selling weapons to all manner of deplorables she can find.

Ariadne paints herself as the savior of not only the Invictus, but of the universe at large.

Unconvinced, several members of the Invictus side with Fatin and decide to go rogue in order to find her and expose Ariadne as the fraudster she truly is.

Knowing full well that if the Loyalists succeed she could face life in prison, Ariadne has her people hunt them down, with assistance from bounty hunters and law enforcement she deceives.

Most of the plot would center around the rogue Invictus, along with anyone who still believes in them, hoping to clear their names and restore power back in Fatin's hands.

Characters of all kinds are welcome, but I'm mostly looking for characters in either faction, and some outside of the Invictus such as bounty hunters, mercenaries, and civilians in the wrong place at the wrong time, or even aiding the fugitives.
 
Below are some more specific, but still very open, archetypes I'm looking for to be part of the storyline:

- Invictus members: The organization is going to be falling apart, different branches and members need to choose their sides or figure out what they'll do when the shit hits the fan.

- Mercenaries: Can't bring down a group of trained soldiers and freelancers without... a group of trained soldiers and freelancers.

- Assassins/Hitmen: Always need a professional killer or two. Or three.

- Civilians: Not everyone involved has to be some form of trained badass. Always room for the untrained badasses too. They can be friends, family, or allies of those characters involved. Maybe just people in the wrong place at the wrong time.

- Law Enforcement: Protect and serve some people. With guns, batons, and pepper spray. And maybe help round up the fugitive Invictus for investigation out of a sense of duty, a promotion, or because they're on Ariadne's payroll.
