Adepts for Democratic Representation

The Adepts for Democratic Representation, or ADR for short, is an organization with the goal to claim a Junior seat upon the Council to represent the rights and interests of Adepts all over the North America.

The members of the ADR are obviously largely Adepts, though a few mages has gotten behind them in a show of support. Primarily members of the Harmony Caucus, the HC has poured a few million dollars into the ADR, hoping to send them on a path of political success and some say to secure the HC a new ally on the council should it ever happen.

The membership of the ADR numbers in the hundreds and were one to include the various splinter groups the count would go well into the thousands. Though if you ask the ADR, the majority of these splinter groups are not considered a part of the ADR, as they officially would never associate with violent sub-sects such as the Seventeen.

The ADR advocates as an organisation of peace and tolerance, wanting primarily to secure the lives of Adepts in America.

Splinter Groups
The Seventeen

This particular splinter group is one of the biggest thorns in the eyes of the ADR, The Seventeen functions much like a mercenary group, hiring themselves out as enforcers or assassins to make a quick buck. The Seventeen are, as the name suggests, seventeen adepts each with violent or tactically efficient abilities. The way they relate to the ADR is that their leader is a former member in good standing, now he hates mages and gladly takes jobs where he gets to kill a few of them. He is high on the Light Councils shit list, though the few agents they sent after him wound up dead.
