Aelu / Rel (Combustionary) 1540 Share Posted January 10, 2012 *While walking in town you notice a new note on the local board, written in crimson ink, it speaks of a new guild in the area* "Too long we have placed our faith and hope in half-organized armies who's power extends no further than his sword arm. For too long we have needlessly sacrificed people in needless battles. But why? Is there no other way to defeat our enemies than to gather more warriors than them? If so, how do the forces of evil, being small in number, manage to inflict so much damage? It is because we let them. We refuse to see strategy or tactics as anything further than "Flank them!" or "Ambush!". But not all hope is lost, some of us understand the affects of small, tactical strikes over large, clumsy wars. We call ourselves Spectres." *The pages behind the front go into further detail of the guild* "The Spectres are dedicated to one thing: The unification of Aegis. We see people in two groups; Those who hinder our progress either directly or indirectly, and those who don't. This may not be an especially outlandish idea, but our methods are less usual, and more efficient. Instead of leading armies to capture the separate factions of the world, we plant supporters in their midst, and remove their leadership, or we make them enemies of larger groups. If two large groups are on the verge of war, we create a common enemy for them, or a scenario that removes them both. We have our goals, and we will reach them by any means neccesary If you wish to join our order, please fill out a copy of the form at the final page." Our Goal We seek to bring aegis under a single banner, because only then can we ever be able to defend ourselves from the forces that wish to destroy us. ((On an OOC note? World Domination.)) The History and Archives of The Spectres The Asulonian History In Progress The Divisions of the Spectres Shadow: The spies of the order. They may be sent to provide warning, access, or simply information. Many "Shadow" assignments involve a "Rite of Re-initiation", where they preform final blow to the group before returning to the Spectres. Reaper: The Warriors. They, instead of all-out assaults, make small, tactical strikes. They might work as guards, escort people, or attack and gain control of strategic points. They also serve as hit-and-run warriors who whittle down our enemies by tailing groups and killing those who stray form the group. Assassins: The Spectres who use stealth and trickery to remove specific targets. We do not work as a "kill-for-pay" group. All targets given are in some way an impediment to our goals. Guild Rules, Ranks, and Structure Rules 1: Do not kill or steal from fellow guild members. 2: Treat our allies as if they were our own members. 3: Spies and Assassins are to remove their uniform before starting a job. 4: Do not allow outsiders into the base without an officer's permission. 5: The guild works very intimately with secrets, but is not a secret in it's self. Ranks Point system is explained below. Uninitiated - 0 - Basic Access Sworn - 5 - Basic Access Regular - 20 - Basic Access + Provided Locked Chest Sub-Officer - 40 - Library Access ~Officer Ranks~ These ranks are granted by me after the point requirements have been met, and I personally feel you are worthy. Officer - 65 - Library Access High_____ (___ = Division) - 50 Points in a certain division, at least 65 Total - High Access Grand____ - 75 In a specific division - High Access Adviser - 100 Specific Points, 200 Total - Grand Access Top____ - Given Personally - Grand Access Spymaster - The Guild's Leader -Special Ranks- Given special privileges by the Spymaster's consent. Spectre Lord: Manages a town of the Spectre's holdings. If the Spectres capture a town, the Lord may control the guards there, for a mine he may oversee workers and defend it from basic criminals. If a threat is too large for the Lord's local military, he may call upon the guild's main force of reapers and guards. For as long as you are in this position, you gain +20 points to your rank. This is only revoked if you lose your position. Spectre HighLord Manages a group of towns, or Province. The borders of provinces are usually decided with Culture, size, and old borders in mind. As long as you hold this position, you gain +40 Points to your rank. Spectre Keeper: Maintains a specific Spectre Tower. He will keep up with assigned missions, and any point gains given, and report them to the Spymaster. Also is in charge of the tower's basic security. ((You will probably need to be a donor for this, I want the keepers to be able to make their own locks)) Guild Terms Points: Rewarded for completing assignments. Most missions will award 3-5, but some tougher ones will give more. Spectre Tower: A Spectre base. Towers are meant to be a sign of power in a particular region. Spectre Den: A Spectre hideout. Provides a resting place to work from while on a mission. Punishments: Those who break our rules may be Exiled, Executed, or Forced to gather for the guild, based on the severity of the offense. Guild Views An insight into the guild's general morality Torture: We will not perform physical torture except in very special cases. We will use mental torture (like mind tricks, or making them doubt themselves), and being put in a cell, but will not cause permanent injury. Killing: We do not kill for enjoyment, nor do we take well to cannibalism. We kill when provoked or when justified. We prefer to make our enemies afraid to attack us instead of engaging in actual war. Those With an Unstable Mind: The Spectres are level-headed and disciplined. We will not work with those who cannot control themselves. Application Copy and Paste this, then fill it out. If it is accepted, send me a message IG and I will give you your housing and title.

Aelu / Rel (Combustionary) 1540 Author Share Posted January 10, 2012 Current Objectives 1: Rebuilding of Corvas Spectris. Corvas Spectris will be the Spectre capital, and will be home to our underground main complex. Speak to Luke Meyers about construction. Spectres will receive an underground bunk, or, if they can afford it, a discount on an above-ground house. 2: Expansion of Bowshire Bowshire is our newest village, ran by Aerilyn. The village has a plan in works for expansion, and will adhere to said plan. Spectres are asked to first finish Corvas before coming to work in Bowshire. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Anyway, the guild seems good and original (I can know I was part of it xD) Meh, the old post was out-of-date, and im restarting the guild, it felt better just to make a new topic after the old one fell into obscurity.

And yes, I do plan for an alliance between the Spectres and Ravens to be made. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

gre7 1 Share Posted January 11, 2012 OOC MC Name:gre7 Weekly Availability: 7to12 hours Timezone: PST +8 Have an Accepted VA?: Sadly not, however I do plan on getting one If you do not, do you understand that you may only work as a quartermaster or guard?: I actually plan on working possibly as a blacksmith or alchemist. I also have a large interest in redstone and golems which could be put to good use. IC Name: Calith Are you willing to live at a tower, or other designated place?: All I need is some funds and a place to conduct my experiments. How good are you at combat?, explain past experiences: I mostly excell in close range city fighting and hand to hand combat. No particular battles come to mind Do you have any attachments to any specific group or person?: I do not wish to do anything to harm Malinor Are you willing to work outside the law?: Yes What other guilds or groups have you worked for in the past? The White Ravens, and Laurelin Royal Vanguard Tell us about yourself: Knowledge is power how do I know I can trust you? Why do you want to join the Spectres?: I agree with the idea that the brutal armies put forth by most country are next to worthless when fighting the undead. We should try to use their tactics and strike the enemy where it hurts not exactly where they want us to attack. P.S. I have designs for a extremely effective secret base.
