Black Kingdom Rising - Anime Villain Quest [CK2 Quest]

[X] Plan Proper Coverage
-[X] The Growing Shadows: Your Ebon Shadows are your weakest but arguably your most important minions due to them sharing your ability to drain energy as well as the fact they seem to have limited self-replication abilities. However, you feel that with a dose of Ebon Power, you can make them into a much more viable threat. At the very least, you believe you can make them tougher and stronger, and perhaps something more. Cost: 100 EP. Chance of Success: 80% Reward: Minion Type - Shadows Rank Up. Unlock Shadow Upgrade Paths.
-[X] What Is a Man? A Pile of Energy: You've discovered that a person holds Life Energy, Magic Power, and two types of Emotional Energies. However, there are still more pools of energy that you haven't been able to grasp hold but they are denser than the types of energy that you've discovered so far. You still have a couple of test subjects available to drain. Let's see if you can get at those remaining pools. Cost: 0 EP, 1 Human Captive. Chance of Success: 60% Reward: Gain the ability to Drain people of their ??? and convert it into Ebon Power. Unlock New Options.
-[X] Getting an In with the Independents: There are a few other groups and people, including yourself right now, that do not operate like the other four main ones. They may be totally unrelated or they may be a far offshoot of some other order who wanted to strike out on their own. Whatever the case, while not as big or influential on their own, they may prove to be unique opportunities or potential sources of disasters. Cost: 0 EP, $3000. Chance of Success: 70% Reward: Information on independent groups. Possible Hero Unit/Advisor.
-[X] Fallback: Anonymity is one of your greatest tools at this point of the great game. With the cash that you have, you can start making full use of it. You'll need secret identities to hide your civilian actions behind since doing Ebon stuff as Jacob is just asking for trouble. Your glamour needs an upgrade so that you can appear as more than just a guy in a black coat with glowing red eyes. You'll need to also make sure your base is extra secure since it's not actually that hard to break into. You need to truly hide all traces of your assets if you want to keep some nosy idiot from getting lucky and finding their way into your base. Cost: 300 EP, $20000. Upkeep: $1000. Time: 2 Turns. Chance of Success: 100% Reward: Base properly hidden and secure. False identities acquired. Better Glamour. Loose threads severed.
-[X] Ebon Fabrication: You can create any substance using Ebon but what about whole items? Surely with enough time and practice, you'll be able to create complex machinery and gadgets using your powers. It's worth at least a look into. If you can make a brand new phone out of Ebon, it would help so much with communicating with others without having to use your Caravan as a meeting spot. Cost: 150 EP. Chance of Success: 70% Rewards: Learn how to fabricate normal complex objects out of Ebon Power.
-[X] Company Power Replication: The powers of a Company Magical Girl are varied but in Evetta's eyes, they are all easily replicated. Weapon creation, high-speed flight, elemental infusion, and other abilities - the spells needed to recreate such powers aren't easy to learn for a normal mage but you are anything but normal. In your hands, the powers of a Company Magical Girl, according to Evetta, will be far greater and more varied than what several squads could bring to bear. Cost: 200 EP. Chance of Success: 80% Reward: Gain Black Armament Traits. Increased Piety. Increased Martial.
-[X] Circle Magic: According to Evetta, the 'easiest' and most common form of magic available is Circle Magic. it uses innate energy to form a perfectly memorized array in the mind, project it into the world, and (after you add energy to it) unleash a desired effect. The problem lies in the fact you've only got one basic 'array' and any decent mage including Evetta had dozens at their disposal. You'll need to find more, or better yet get the foundation book to make your own! Thankfully, you've got a bit of a lead on where to get such books. Cost: $2500. Chance of Success: 100% Reward: Circle Magic Books (Rank depends on success) (Greater Than 80= Foundation Book) Increased Piety.
-[X] Ando's Ninja Problem: Your best friend is still having trouble adjusting to the fact that not only is he the target of various ninja assassins, he now has a cute and sexy ninja babe at his beck and call. Though you're sure that he'll eventually get used to things, you could help him out a little. It'll also go a long way in building up trust with Asuka as well. Who knows, maybe with your full powers, you might learn a thing or two about the situation that your clone missed. Cost: $100. Chance of Success: 60% Reward: Increased Relations with Ando. Lower Distrust from Asuka. Learn more about Ando's ninja heritage.

[x]Rogue Submission

[x] The Book of Ebon - An archive that holds the cumulative knowledge of those conquered by the Black Kingdom, both past and present, a veritable collection of artifacts and technology stolen from those that have fallen against the Ebon Emperor, it is the symbol of the Ebon Emperor's wisdom. One thousand, one hundred, one ten, and one pages must be filled with the Mana directly extracted from the Magic Core.

[X] The Ever-Heart - The Kingdom's Heart, that which binds the hearts of all who follow the Ebon Emperor together as one. As long as power flows through the Ever-Heart, none who follow the Black King shall be found wanting in strength, both mind, body, and soul. Seven souls of pure light and seven souls of pure darkness must become one to start the beating of the Black Kingdom's Heart

[x]Rogue Submission

[X] The Black Sword - The symbol of violence and war. Violence is life's most primal force, an eternal force that will never disappear as long as life exists. Violence for the sake of others. Violence for the sake of one's self. Violence for the sake of Violence. All becomes fuel for the might of the Black Kingdom. The vehemic energy of a city at war with itself would bring forth the sword of the Black King.

The soul essence that binds together the structure of a thousand souls, melted down and forged by the flames of heaven and hell to craft this piece of the Black King's regalia. The Living and the Dead must pay their due to the Black King.

[X] Red and Gold

[X] RogueDruid, but with a Text Expansion...
-[X] A young man, who for a rogue ninja with a preference for black clothing, has an expression of a relaxed professional, and since being accepted by the Ebon Emperor, a bit more brooding, that hides a spark of hope and fanaticism towards the Black Kingdom, that's filling his thirst for vengence. Despite this, any expression of his can be hidden in a stoic face, that looks as still as a dolls mask, but can be as strong as the Ebon Lord's own emotions when his mental 'mask' comes off.
--[X] Past black ninja garb, he's also apparently has a liking for dark jackets, dark business suits... Anything, especially if it can be darker than black, or easy to conceal various weapons or knives, that could be likely coated in poison if you're not careful.
