The purpose of the Marked Men is to provide event driven roleplay revolving around monster hunting - the eradication thereof and the study of all things which are considered eldritch, strange or abominable in their being and origins. This, alongside a focus on in-character folklore and strong character development establish the Marked as a unique entity.

 

Forewarning

The School of the Fox maintains a very consequential stance on roleplay and character development. Upon entry into the guild, players may spend an upwards of a month undergoing training as initiates. Through this, we offer joining members a taste into our style of roleplay as to better portray what we stand for. To maintain a standard of quality, all players who join the Marked are required to take on a permakill clause, and it should be known that existing members will permakill their characters during events or through the means of a legitimate death in roleplay at the hands of a fellow Marked. In joining, we expect you to uphold this standard and through filling out our application, you are in turn agreeing to our principle of roleplay.

Brief Summary

 

The School of the Fox is the most recent rendition of the Marked Men. Formed through the collaboration of the elder members of the preceding Schools of the Stag and Ouroboros, it carries on the centuries-old tradition of the Marked Men and their pursuit of fortune through the profession of monster slaying. Upon their shoulder is the legacy of two schools, the former of which and the more distinguished of the two being the Stag, which was founded by Coren Isil - a renowned bounty hunter who was known for his pursuit of contracts placed upon the heads of magi. Recent reformations were spurred on by the disappearance of the aforementioned, and the resulting deaths of several prominent Marked Men. A call to merge was deemed the most beneficial recourse and thus was the School of the Fox formed.

Hierarchy of the School

 

“While our school has no true hierarchy, each man here has earned his place and you are expected to show respect to your brothers.” - Coren Isil, to initiates Maelgwn aep Gwennlech and Glaeddwen aep Invaerne

 

Master

Incumbent: Maelgwn of Cintran

 

Maelgwn of Cintran was one of the key founders of the Marked School of the Fox and their resurgence into the modern era. While not garnering the same renown as his predecessors, he is an efficient monster hunter and worthy of his name and trade. Highly adept in marksmanship and tracking, he is one of the two Aeldinic elves within the school and possesses know-how on guerrilla tactics. He has recently taken up the mantle of Master of the School of the Fox, and continues to guide his fellow monster hunters to the best of his capabilities.

 

Marked Man

Tried and true, once an initiate is lucky enough to make it through his trials, he is inducted into the School and receives his mark. Making up the bulk of a school, the Marked Men are the best of the best in their trade, and carry out hunts with the utmost expertise.

 

Initiate

Each man who is brought under the wing of a school are dubbed initiates, and subjected to grueling training and perilous trials which test their skills, physically and mentally. Many do not survive this process, though those who do go on to become Marked.

____________________________________

 

Looking into the guild known as the Marked Men, a common location is carried upon whispers throughout the realms - a forlorn and dilapidated keep in the far north of Oren known as Aardwen. Upon reaching the outskirts of this site, should a man be so inclined, you would spot the head of a fox carved into the trunk of a towering evergreen. Drawing ever nearer to the keep, the clamor of men and their day-to-day business would grow louder. Hailing the gates, you would be addressed from atop the ramparts by a duo of men cladden in thick furs and boiled leathers.

MC Name: Praetor

RP name: Razani Al'shayat

Age: 65

Race: arab Human

Backstory: A pirate captain in the wild southern seas of Anthos, he was taught fire magic by his high elven mistress. However, as he aged he was plagued with guilt for the crimes of his youth and sought redemption in the light of the holy church and the ranks of the Exercitus Imperium. He became a devout believer and revoked his magics. In his time with the Imperium Tertius, he took part in the crossing of the Nocibur River under the lead of Vibius de Sola.

Since then, he has wandered throughout human lands, never staying in one place for long. His love for gold and violence dwindled and he became a passionate writer, chronicalling many of the great human conflicts of the age.

MC Name:

Slic3man.

IC Name:

Kepri of Æthelwulf

Age:

32.

Race:

Human.

Minor Backstory:

Karob comes from no where in particular, wandering into the wilderness to find a wayward life. Nonetheless he wandered out from the forest's borders with a deer over his back and a blankness to his gaze. His hunched visage was that of a downtrodden ox, muscles tensed at the beast over his shoulders. How he had struck a deer with his blade was not known, but soon the buck with skinned and gutted. He could only live off the wilderness for so long, and so he took to seeking merit, pride visibly tied to his face.

 

Without any thought he looked for the Marked Men, not sated in the daily life of hunting and gathering.
