1/10. I have never seen you.

9/10, I'm very conservative with handing out 10/10s.

((Sorry but I found many of the ranks exact sentences within a different article, I assume this is plagiarism, and should be dealt with. As it is still the same general idea, changing around 2 words will not help anything.))

8/10

Yup You get a 3/10 my good sir. For I have never seen you.

I have never seen thee. 3/10 anyways.

Father Edward hastily reads over the forum, nodding at some parts and raising a brow at other. He takes out a small bar of a wax and the seal of Reims and proceeds to paste it over the letter, nodding with satisfaction as he does so. Father Edward then puts it in Maikoy's hand with a nod as he speaks the words,"You have been accepted into the Guard."

((EDIT: My application got badly messed up and is off-color. I apologize for this, if you want me to start over and get a cleaner text then I would be happy to do so. Also this is my character/family/sub-culture lore, so it covers a wide variety of topics concerning my character's background, ect.))

Reading over the application given to him by Raomir, he thoroughly looks over it, he nods every so often and gazes back up to Raomir with a slight nod. Father Edward lets a slight smile curve up his face as he emits the words, "You have been accepted into the Guard."

~Snip~ ((Sorry I accidentally double posted, just a glitch.))

Father Edward is standing at the altar of St. Amyas's Chapel and watches the pious citizens walk in and out, taking a seat and praying for a good half-an-hour. As Father Edward is leaning on his crosier dully, he notices a courier running into the chapel, pausing as he rests from his running, a young man, panting after the hurried message. The courier hands him the envelope and takes a seat exhaustedly, waiting for Father Edward's response. Father Edward snatches the letter from the courier's hand and takes out an envelope opener and hastily opens the letter, revealing it. He tilts his head sub-consciously as he reads through the letter thoroughly. He quickly grabs a piece of parchment and an ink well and begins writing a new letter to him. "Dear Grand Knight, I understand this is your duty and I thank thee for letting me know about this sudden change, I did indeed go over your edict but must have browsed over the portion about abolishing House Knights. I will oblige to abolish my House Knight rank. Though I must say, the Holy Order of the Red Dragon have never helped me in guarding my land before, I suppose you must understand why I created this guard. Though nonetheless I will destroy this rank immediately. Sincerely, Father Edward" Father Edward proceeds to wrap the letter up in an envelope and seal it by taking out a bar of wax and stamping his seal which consists of the flag of Reims. He hands the envelope to the courier and waves him out of the Chapel with his crosier.

Father Edward is swirling a glass of wine as he dully reads through the small pile of papers that gathered on his desk, he shuffles through them until he reaches the application and lets a small smile curve up his face. He thoroughly reads the application, he takes out a bar of wax and the shape of the seal and prints the seal over the paper, showing the sign of Acceptance. He hands the application to a courier standing by him, the courier runs hurriedly to the local inn in search of the man and leaves a small parcel to the innkeeper after confirming the man's stay. The parcel consists of the uniform and the letter with the seal of acceptance posted upon it. ((I will message you the skin.))

I give thee Telanir, 10/10!

((There is no RP way to find this poster, or whatever it is. Perhaps clarifying that would be great as Guilds are roleplay posts and should have some RP way on how to find this post. Sorry if I made an all OOC post, it is just a word of advice.))

Just to note, if we get a large amount of number of people in the Reims Guard then I shall add more ranks, but for now they are relatively simple to follow.

*A large poster is nailed on the pillar of Father Edward's Manor.* The Guard of Reims DUTIES: The Guard of the Cathedral of Reims is one that has been founded to preserve and protect the great Bishopric of Reims, they have three duties which they must discharge dutifully. These men will be given a bunk and food as long as they are in service. 1. To Follow the Creator's will, Deus Vult! 2. To Preserve the mighty Cathedral of Reims and to protect the books and artifacts it holds, the guard's duty is to protect it with their lives. 3. To Protect the Bishop of Reims, his life is important, as a the shepherd of the people in his Bishopric, he leads them dutifully and tasks his life with teaching them of the Creator. The guard's third duty is to protect this important man with their very lives. RANKS: Crusader/Levy: This is a wartime rank only and consist of volunteers (Crusaders) and peasants who are levied into the battlefield when the bishop is at war. There is a minimum of 1 levy per household within any prince-bishoprics or prince-archbishoprics that the bishop may acquire. These men are given basic provisions. Current Levies and Crusaders: N/A Footman: The basic soldier of the Guard, they are tasked with the majority of the tasks and are given basic training, generally peasants or cottagers willing to dedicate their lives to the Bishopric Guard, these men are picked based on their loyalty to the cause. These men will be paid 50 minas an Elven Week. Footmen: Raomir Armon Malikoy Vineperch Men-at-Arms: A rank that requires more wealth to usually fulfill to pay for their extravagant armor and steed, they are the second-in-command for a small group of Footman, these are generally experienced men who have fought quite often and have proven themselves as effective soldiers. They are paid 75 minas an Elven Week. Men-at-arms: Sergeant-at-Arms: This is a position reserved for the most experienced of the Guard, these will most likely consist of bourgeois and nobles and are in charge of a small group of Footman, they will have a Man-at-Arms as a second-in-command and will be receiving 100 minas an Elven Week for their dedication and service. Sergeant-at-Arms: Captain of the Guard: The head of the entire Cathedral guard and only to be given to the most faithful, dedicated soldier that has proven himself time and time again. This man will be tasked with leading the entire force and protecting the entirety of it, the holder of this position shall receive 125 minas an Elven week and perhaps a large plot of land. Captain of the Guard: Specialized Ranks: Quartermaster: The holder of this position is to make sure each and every soldier receives their standard issue set of armor, sword and food. Food rationing is to be every other Elven day with 16 loafs of bread, and 4 carrots. Medical Assistant: The holder of this title makes sure every single soldier is fit and ready for service as well as treating wounds in the field of battle. This is one of the most important roles in the Reims Guard as the holder of this position make sure that nobody dies in battle. OATH: I {Insert name} pledge my blade to the Holy Cathedral of Reims, and to serve and protect the land which the Creator hath blessed. I swear upon the Holy Lorraine Cross that I will follow the Church of the Faith's teachings faithfully and dutifully, I will attend Mass every Elven Week and show respect to members of the Clergy and fellow defenders of the Cathedral of Reims. HOW TO JOIN: Fill out one of the applications below ((Coming soon)) or find and talk to Father Edward if you wish to join, he will ask you some questions and for you to repeat the oath. If you are knighted then you will be given the rank of Knight. Those who can afford to purchase fine steel armor and weaponry may be given the rank of Man-at-arms. UNIFORMS: Accepted applicants will be given their uniform by a courier. They are expected to wear their uniforms at all times. Failure to comply will be punishable with temporary removal from the Guard. ((I will give the uniforms through the forums.)) ​((This guard will be fully implemented in 3.0 along with pay, food and a place to stay.)) *Several applications are nailed to the bottom of the poster.* A bird drops a letter at the doorstep of every guard's home. It reads. "Guards, the Reims Guard has been disbanded, hang up your equipment and your uniform."

2/10 Seen you once or twice.
