ACCEPTED

The man reads the application, glancing up a couple times. He pauses, appearing in thought. "We would have use for a marksman such as you. I will pass this on." He hands you another slip of paper, and wanders off down the street.

((You have been PMed with details))

((This makes me happy, I want to join now. Maybe when I have less characters. Sorry for sounding troll-ish, though, I only meant it as a joke, but I can see how it would seem rude. ))

((Ah I understand. You would be welcome to join when you wish then.))

~SNIP~

ACCEPTED

The man reads the application, then looks up with a hint of a smile. "My master would find this acceptable." He hands Azoth another slip of paper. "Follow the instructions."

((You have been PMed with details))

((Yes, but if it was through betrayal we wouldn't be very happy about it..also if your character becomes a higher rank and gains access to rather important secrets..you probably wouldn't be allowed to leave so easily in an RP sense. But higher ranks are typically given to those who have more loyalty and less thoughts about leaving soo...

Also, for those of you without Villain Applications that wish to apply for the guild, you don't have to wait until you have a VA, provided you have plans to get one.))

((Yes. Being brand new we don't have many, but are currently at 3 members.))

((So, um, where's the response for stabbing the guy, knocking him out, bringing him back to your base and torturing him for information about his base, and then invading that and completely destroying it? That should be an option :P))

The man walks away, takes a loaf of bread out, and throws at you. He shouts, "A loaf for an oaf!" and disappears into an alley.

((Be gone troll))

((Or if you really want to know..))

You somehow manage to overpower the man, and you drag his body to your base. After hours of torturing him, the man says only, "I am bound to the secrets of the Dark Blade until death", then gives a final sigh, and expires.

The next day, walking in town, you notice someone in a similar cloak....

((Happy?))

((Guild Information

The Dark Blade Syndicate is a group of mercenaries, thieves, and assassins who work together and take contracts from all kinds of clients for all types of jobs. (See link for hiring details: http://www.lordofthecraft.net/topic/102208-mercenariesassassins-for-hire/)

We take no affiliation and favor no nation, religion, or other guild. We favor only the client.

We offer our services in return for payment in minas or items of value. We are not a 'minas or die' group, though that doesn't mean not paying for contracts is acceptable..

If you are interested in being a part of the Syndicate, here is our current structure:

Ranks:

Grand Master ~ The leader of the guild. He has supreme authority over all members, and will allocate contracts to the members as he sees fit. He is also the carrier of the Dark Blade, made from obsidian. The current Grand Master is Engris.

Master ~  Second in command under the Grand Master. There may be up to three members of Master rank at a time. Masters have the highest priority for high risk contracts. Members typically report to them when completing a contract. They may specialize in a specific type of work (thievery, assassination, etc.). Members may look to Masters for advice in training in those specific fields.

Nightblade ~ The highest rank in a non-command position. They are the elites of the mercenary force. With the highest priority for most contracts, especially 'wetwork', they are expected to complete contracts without any room for error due to their experience.

Listener ~ Listeners are considered of equal rank to the Nightblades, however, they do not take on as many contracts. They are instead responsible for finding clients and contacts and relaying contracts and information to the guild. Most contracts they are assigned to are lower risk, such as thefts, destruction, and reconnaissance.

Seeker ~ The second rank of the mercenary force. They take on contracts of all varieties, but do not have as much skill or priority as Nightblades. They take on the low to medium risk assassination contracts. They are the first rank that has access to the Syndicate's sanctuary.

Hireling ~ The lowest rank of the mercenary force. They usually take the lowest risk jobs, such as thefts, security, etc, and may go along with higher ranking members on contracts to gain experience in the job. They usually do not take assassination contracts unless the target is very low risk. They typically do not have access to the Syndicate's sanctuary, until they have proven their loyalty, skill, and commitment to the Dark Blade.

Pay: Members are paid per contract. Pay level depends on the risk level of the contract taken.

Basic Tenets:

1) You shall not kill, steal from, or purposely hinder another member of the Syndicate

2) You shall not kill unnecessarily while working a contract.

3) You shall not steal from or kill children.

4) You shall keep the secrets of the Dark Blade within the Syndicate, and may be bound to them until death.

5) You shall not bind yourself to the interests of nations.

6) ((You must adhere to all server rules, VA rules, and must properly RP before taking actions such as killing, destruction, etc.))

Members of higher rank may need to adhere to more advanced tenets, which will not be described here.

Roles:

Characters of all types are acceptable, be it the more standard mercenary/assassin type, or the less traditional approach as a mage. Do not be deterred just because your character doesn't have physical capabilities.

((We are for hire for almost any kind of mercenary job you can think of. See the post below or this link for more details: http://www.lordofthe...ssins-for-hire/))

Walking through town one day, you are approached by a mysterious man, cloaked in dark grey. You can see strands of white hair under his hood, but the rest of his features are obscured. He examines you and says in a relatively deep voice, "You look like the type...tell me truthfully, are you..a mercenary, a thief...an assassin..?"

Looking at the man questioningly, you reply:

"Uhh..not really.."

The man stops moving, looks you in the eye, and says, "Neither am I". He abruptly walks away.

"Perhaps..what is it to you?"

Even under his hood you can make out a devious smile forming. He reaches into a pouch, and hands you a folded piece of paper.

"How would you like to be a part of something bigger?" he says. "Something..better..work with other like-minded mercenaries. Have you heard of the Dark Blade Syndicate? Likely not. Here," handing you the piece of paper, "fill this out. I'll be waiting over here." He walks away, and leans against a nearby building.

You unfold the piece of paper, revealing an application of sorts.

I don't mean to dig this thread up but...is this project still in the works? It looks amazing from what I read..

As you walk down the path, you hear the caw of a bird above you. Looking up, you see a raven perched on a ledge, staring at you curiously. It flies down to ground level, caws again, and walks towards you. You notice a small scroll attached to its right leg. The raven is still as you reach for the scroll and unroll it.

You write something on the scroll (or not) and reattach it to the raven's leg. It caws once more and immediately flies off.
