The History of Outer Heaven
One year after the Opening of the Doors, once it had settled and once it became calm, Ragnarok was built. And from the shadowy streets of the city, there came a man by the name of "Donovinh Krushchev". No records of this man had been made, even after the Opening of the Doors, and nothing was known about him. In fact, he would never have been noticed, had it not been for his secret dealings in the alleyways of Ragnarok.. Dealing out technological weapons. And, of course, people paid pretty pennies for his creations.. They were small, but they were advanced compared to current technology. Where Donovinh gained this technology was unknown.. But his skill of marketing it was nothing to be laughed at.
Using the money he had earned selling the weapons, he bought out a small company of engineers and scientists. Paying them to build more advanced creations of technology for cheap money, he continued to market works of advanced technology, increasing the prices by far margins. But people continued to pay these high prices.. After all, where else would they get technology like it?
Donovinh repeated his continuous strategy of marketing his goods and buying out companies, turning his small working company into a huge monopoly of a conglomerate in no time. It wasn't long before Donovinh was able to buy out the police of Ragnarok, and created his own military force known as "SINISTER". Branching from this, Donovinh built a massive, high-tech tower in the middle of the city, where the base of operations was held. This was the foundation for his new company, which he named "Outer Heaven".

Outer Heaven: A Company
Outer Heaven: A Company
The original concept of Outer Heaven was percieved to simply be a company that sold technology.. And, to most of the citizens of Ragnarok, that's all it still is. Many are still quite naieve to Outer Heaven's control of the Military, and the ones that actually know about it think that it's simply "for the best".. Trusting completely in Outer Heaven's actions.
The company side of Outer Heaven is dedicated precisely towards the creation of technology. Despite protests made by more religious folk in the city ( and outside of the city, in some cases ), the company continues to manufacture more advanced technologies, with higher levels of power than the last each time. This includes appliances, transportation, entertainment, and unknown to the high majority of the citizens, weapons. The company makes tons of money off of these sales, and continues to expand thanks to them.

Outer Heaven: A Military
Outer Heaven: A Military
After Outer Heaven bought out the local police force in Ragnarok, they began expanding their horizons to a military force. Donovinh's main concern was that of riots and protests, so the police force continued their regular law, while calming any protests against Outer Heaven, and locking away those who became far too much of a rantist.
While the police were the main *public* military force of Outer Heaven, Outer Heaven kept a much larger military force at their disposal, consisting mostly of S.W.A.T teams, private investigators / detectives.. Advanced military muscle and intelligence, the best that Donovinh could buy. And Donovinh could buy the *best*. The work of this expanded military was to further Donovinh's power, but only to be flexed when needed, and then covered up in detailed explanations created by Donovinh's highest advisors.
The public only knows of the police force and, thanks again to Donovinh's highest advisors, most of the public doesn't even know that Outer Heaven bought out the police. As far as the public is concerned, Outer Heaven could launch a full attack on the city itself, and then be able to blame it on "terrorists". It is for this reason that Donovinh has cleverly named the military "SINISTER", and the only ones who know the code-name are Donovinh, SINISTER members themselves, and higher-ranking Outer Heaven personel.

Outer Heaven: A Government

Once the Outer Heaven's tower had been built and the military force had been spawned, Donovinh was ready for the next step: Politics. And as far as politics go, Donovinh had already set himself up for the highest seat in power.
Donovinh's first concern was to gain the trust of the people. Flexing his vast bank account, Donovinh opened up several charity foundations, focused towards helping the less-fortunate.. The sickly, the poor, etc. This was possibly the best move Donovinh could have made, as the people of Ragnarok instantly opened up to this.. In Donovinh's own words, "Like a moth to the flame".
As the charity operation calmed and the people began using Donovinh and Outer Heaven as household names for their kindness, Donovinh began launching more directly-political campaigns.. More precisely, to put his own officials into power. Higher-ranking Outer Heaven personel ran for offices in Ragnarok, and thanks to the "hush-hush" operations of SINISTER, it was easy to rig each election and make sure that Donovinh's people were elected into office. From there, Donovinh himself would control all legal operations in Ragnarok, and assure total, absolute power.
