fill out this forum. i will then judge it and begin a thread for both of us, this thread will be called "(your character name) training thread". when this is done you will officially be an assassin.
the Brotherhood fights to ensure the survival of free will, as it allowed for the progression of new ideas and the growth of individuality.
Historically, Assassins always showed great respect for the dead. Their own were buried in crypts or large tombs when time permitted. Those given a proper burial were wrapped in a cloth shroud, their red sash spread across the body. The greatest Assassins were venerated in large tombs and contained within sarcophagi, their likeness emblazoned on the lid and their symbol venerated in the flags of the tomb.
For all their assassination targets, unless circumstances prevented them from doing so, Assassins would give them their last rites after they had passed away.
Assassin's code
"Nothing is true, everything is permitted." is the code and guiding philosophy of the Brotherhood. It restricts unnecessary slaughter of innocents, preserved the reputation of oneself and of the Brotherhood, and was meant to create peace, not only within the world, but within the individual. We are nothing if we do not abide by the Assassin's Creed. the Creed cannot be killed, even if all of its followers were. He went on to explain that the Creed is an idea, and even if all records of it were destroyed, it could eventually be reinvented by another.
We mainly emphasized three simple moral tenets that focused on ensuring a successful mission, mastery of emotions, and the safety of the Brotherhood
1: Stay your blade from the flesh of an innocent - The goal of the Assassins is to ensure peace in all things. The Assassins believed that political assassinations and the death of the corrupt would bring peace and a true sense of security to the common people. Slaying innocents and civilian bystanders who did not need to die could spread strife and discord, in addition to ruining the name of the Brotherhood itself.
2: Hide in plain sight - Be unseen. The Assassins' aim is to get close to their target stealthily, and escape just as quickly. In more ancient times, Assassins aim to perform ostentatious, awe-inspiring assassinations, usually in public.
The greatest illusion from such an assassination is that the Assassin seemingly materialized from nowhere, killed a corrupt public figure, and vanished into the depths of the crowd or environment. If an Assassin was to be spotted stalking their target, the supernatural effect would be diluted, and it will become more difficult for the Assassin to reach his target.
3: Never compromise the Brotherhood - The actions of one must never bring harm to all. If an Assassin failed in his or her duty, and was captured or chased, he or she must never commit any action or say anything that could be tied back to the Brotherhood, or bring harm to any member of it.
The three great ironies are observations that described the contradictions between the Creed, and the actions of the Assassins who followed it. They are:
The Assassins seek to promote peace, but commit murder.
The Assassins seek to open the minds of men, but require obedience to rules.
The Assassins seek to reveal the danger of blind faith, yet practice it themselves.
Though seemingly hypocritical, the ironies do not undermine the Assassins' cause. Rather, they demonstrated the way in which they embraced contradiction, "that one may be two things – opposite in every way – simultaneously."
Penalty for disobedience - On most occasions, the breaking of one or more of the tenets of the Creed led to the execution of the involved Assassin, although in some cases there is no penalty.
The Codex - The Codex is a thirty-page personal journal. A guide to the inner workings of our order - its origin, purpose and techniques. Our creed, if you will.
