Assassin’s Guild

Backstory:

A sub-society of Deimis from Haidia, the Assassin’s Guild is a newly created group of assassins and mercenaries that receive the best of the marks from the underground group. Though Deimis is primarily a demon organization, they have begun branching out. This is the reason why the leader of the Assassin’s Guild in Talon, a human assassin. The base of operations for the Assassin’s Guild is located in the high north of Salvar in a massive castle coated in ice. Though termed as the ‘Assassin’s Guild,’ it involves much more than simply assassins. Any mercenaries or warriors for hire can join, for there are numerous cases where manpower and strength are needed more than stealth. There are two main groups within the Assassin’s Guild, the Blade (assassins) and the Shield (mercenaries)

Membership:

Overseer of Deimis: Trakos vlor’ Kinron

The Hand: Talon

Blade Council: None
Shield Council: None
Blade Members: Tera [Blood Red Rose], Komosatuo [Kiomatosa], Madyrn [Quietus], Poison [Poison], Point Soularity, Camella [Camella]
Shield Members: Ravenok Kinnes [Darkness Monk], Koran [Vince], Tristan Blackblade [The-Magic-Sword]

Rules:

In order to keep assassins from killing one another and utterly destroying one another, Talon instituted a few rules for the Guild.

1. There is no killing within the Castle. Regardless of any marks that may be within, there is no killing within the Castle.
2. No fellow member may be assassinated without permission from the Hand. Only he may put marks out on members, only after traitorous events.
3. All assignments are given out by the Hand personally.
4. In order to enter the Castle, members must perform the correct combination of taps on the various stones outside the front gate. If incorrect, the person will be killed on the spot by bow and arrow, regardless of whether he or she is a member or not.
5. Ten percent of all proceeds from the mark are required to return to the funds of the Assassin's Guild. This is to provide better utilities for the Guild as a whole and to include incentives for others to join. You must specify the reward as spoils at the end of your thread as a part of the judging request form. Please also request that ten percent of the gold be sent to my account. A total of guild funds will be kept both in this thread and in my signature.

Membership:

In order to gain membership, one must have a sponsor from within the Assassin’s Guild. This may be an NPC. In the initial stages, one may become a member without a sponsor, depending on the Hand’s discretion. The initiate must perform three Guild assigned tasks, be they assassinations or whatnot, before they may become full members. They will not learn the combination to enter the Castle until after they have become full members, before that time they must come with their mentor/sponsor. NOTE: OOCly initiates and full members are exactly the same. This is for story purposes only. The only difference between the two is that the initiates must roleplay their sponsor whenever they are in the Castle.

Location:

The Castle is located in far northern Salvar. It is within the grasp of the king’s power, but thus far it is believed that he knows nothing of its existence. The massive ice-covered walls are practically unscaleable and the vast plains of ice all around alert the Castle to the presence of anyone coming to it. Within the massive walls is a bustling metropolis, so to speak. The outer walls contain housing for all of its numerous members, a full twelve stories up. Within the walls contain numerous shops and taverns, which of course are just as cutthroat as the real bazaars, so for the moment the prices are the same. In the very center of the castle lies a tall tower. At the top of the tower are the meeting places of the Shield and Blade Councils, as well as the room and office of the Hand. The Castle truly is a place where assassins and the like can truly relax without fear.

IC Thread
The Castle (http://www.althanas.com/world/showthread.php?t=3372)

Additional Information
While ICly I will personally hand out all tasks, OOCly there will be a board from which you can choose from. Some will be relatively easy to accomplish by one's self, while others may require additional manpower.

Also, as you can see, there are currently no filled positions on the Shield and Blade councils. These will slowly be filled with NPCs and if you are eager enough, PCs will also be added.

Finally, I am still trying to determine the personal gains you may make from joining the Guild, and would appreciate any comments from anyone on ideas for those purposes.

so, I cant become something better than initiate just because i was a member of another guild of assassins?

Talon
12-10-06, 10:17 PM
No, you could attain full membership. Likely, depending on your current association with that guild, you could attain full membership now without having to be an initiate.

Tera
12-10-06, 10:19 PM
well, that guild (the banishment) is well gone. so im open.

Talon
12-10-06, 10:23 PM
You are more than welcome to join us, and since your character seems to be a pretty experienced assassin, I'll even put you as a full member. Simply reply saying that you wish to join and it will be done.

Tera
12-10-06, 10:31 PM
i wish to join

Talon
12-10-06, 10:32 PM
Welcome to the Assassin's Guild. I hope to soon have a thread up for IC relations in the Castle in Salvar. I'll post here once it is up.

Talon
12-10-06, 11:04 PM
Double Post. First mark has been posted. More marks are sure to follow. Be sure to include some interaction with the poster of the mark both at the beginning and end of the thread. Gotta get that cash!

Tera
12-11-06, 07:55 PM
so where are they listed at?

Talon
12-11-06, 07:55 PM
In the first post at the bottom.

Talon
12-12-06, 07:53 PM
Another double post. The IC thread is up. Here's a link. Feel free to post. Link (http://www.althanas.com/world/showthread.php?t=3372)

Ravenok Kinnes
12-13-06, 03:18 PM
I wish to join.

Talon
12-13-06, 03:20 PM
Welcome to the Assassin's Guild.

Komosatuo
12-13-06, 04:30 PM
Me me! >.> Please?

Blade, cause it sounds like it has more action orientation.

Talon
12-13-06, 04:34 PM
Welcome to the guild. Also, I would like all members to submit a codename for official AG business. For Talon, when he is official leadership business he is the Hand, for regular assassin business, he is... well... Talon. So post those here and I'll get them added to the first post.

Also2, everyone needs to try and get other assassins, mercs, etc to join up so we can expand our numbers and get some things started. I would like to get some input on possible incentives to being in the group. So, gimme some input!

12-13-06, 04:47 PM
I'll join with a new character. Sorry to post on this profile, but I've been wanting to let you guys know.

Talon
12-13-06, 05:02 PM
Cool. Just post here again when the character is ready.

Komosatuo
12-13-06, 05:04 PM
I have posted in the Castle Quest.

Komosatuo's code name will be Kiomatosa. That is how they pronounce his name in his native language.

Talon
12-13-06, 05:13 PM
Good. Good. Also of note, I have posted the third mission on the board in the first post.

Tera
12-13-06, 06:34 PM
im going to use one of her old alias's " Blood Red Rose"

Ravenok Kinnes
12-13-06, 08:25 PM
Wow... Hmm, never had to think of a 'nickname' for Ravenok. How does 'Darkness Monk' sound?

Talon
12-13-06, 09:02 PM
Sounds good. All of your nicks have been added and from now on when addressing one another in regards to AG business you should use said nicks.

Komosatuo
12-13-06, 09:18 PM
I think I shall call you Blood Rose, and how does Monkey sound to you? :p

Talon
12-13-06, 10:25 PM
Now I am confused.

Komosatuo
12-13-06, 10:40 PM
Haha, instead of saying Blood Red Rose I'd say Blood Rose, cause it sounds cool. And instead of Darkness Monk, I'd call him Monkey. Mine and his characters are in a quest together and they're not getting along very well, so it'll only further their useless insulting of one another.

Komosatuo
12-13-06, 11:01 PM
*Double Post*

Do we stand for or against this recent declaration of war?

War (http://www.althanas.com/world/showthread.php?t=3411)

Talon
12-13-06, 11:23 PM
Currently the Assassin's Guild is neutral. Since we are in Salvar, and I frankly have not decided whether I think that we should join or not and which side. So we stay neutral.

Komosatuo
12-13-06, 11:26 PM
Cool. I'm feeling bogged with stuff to do now anyway. :p

1. Duke Walter von Kintmire
Class: Blade
Bounty: 500 [50]
Location: Kintmire Estates, Southern Salvar
Poster: Trakos vlor' Kinron
Description: A simple assassination. Kintmire has no known special abilities, but is well funded, so expect numerous guards around the area. Bring the duke's head in order to receive your bounty.
Policies: Don't Ask Don't Tell.

I'm interested in this but am unable to currently get it going, else I'll bog myself again and go into inactivity again. So I'll just post and say that I'm interested and would like to perform this activity, once a few of my other commitments have been taken care of.

Sound good?

Talon
12-13-06, 11:29 PM
Cool.

Tera
12-13-06, 11:51 PM
Kiomatosa, i dont think she would appreciate it.

Komosatuo
12-14-06, 09:06 AM
Brr.

>.>

lol I'm just messin'. If it's enough to get him killed I won't do it, but I don't expect you to call me by me whole name. Kio will do, it's shorter to type and easier to pronounce.

Ravenok Kinnes
12-14-06, 07:46 PM
Oh... So you wanted Ravenok and Komo to already know eachother in this one? I just posted, and I didn't say anything that implied that Ravenok knew Komo.

That's fine though, yo can say that you recognize him, and i'll say something like after further observation Komo seemed familiar to Ravenok.

Komosatuo
12-14-06, 10:04 PM
No, we started this quest before we (mainly me) joined this PG.

We could make that quest our kind of introductory quest, maybe forming a sort of wary friendship or something.

Talon
12-14-06, 10:10 PM
Sorry I haven't posted yet, guys. I just finished finals so my brains are fried.

Madyrn
12-15-06, 10:35 AM
Oh yeah, hey. This is Cyrus and stuff.

Komosatuo
12-15-06, 10:52 AM
You're all Three? (Merc, Thief and Assassin) Must be one hell of a paycheck or really long warent.

Talon
12-15-06, 11:11 AM
Do you want in for Blade or Shield?

Cyrus the virus
12-15-06, 02:07 PM
Blade. Oh yes, so much blade :)

This character is going to be very, very fun to play as.

Talon
12-15-06, 02:09 PM
Now I just need a name from you.

Madyrn
12-15-06, 02:29 PM
Oh yeah, shit! Hmm.

Quietus. Which is an amazing word.

Talon
12-15-06, 02:31 PM
Feel free to post in the IC thread in Salvar, Quietus.

Koran
12-15-06, 09:08 PM
I want to join. I think a shape shifter would be a good addition to your ranks.

Shield please.

Nickname: Vince

Talon
12-15-06, 11:16 PM
Welcome to the AG!

Poison
12-18-06, 02:11 AM
I'll join this. Blade. Poison is her nickname, she's been using it for several years now and has had previous experience in a group such as this when she was first starting her criminal career. She will not share her real name with anyone, unless she absolutely has to.

Osato
12-18-06, 05:59 PM
Hey hey, I'm interested in joining as part of the Shield. I have a lot of development to do with a little quest in SB, just to get the charry back on his feet a bit... but as soon as I'm at least halfway through with that I'll be active in the group.

Talon
12-18-06, 07:53 PM
Welcome both of you. Feel free to post in the IC thread.

Talon
12-18-06, 07:58 PM
Double POST!!! Note: All members need to select the Assassin's Guild as your power group in your profile. Also, I'm planning a big quest to basically raid this ancient grave for some stuff, mainly for the Guild. Start building an incentive base to increase our members. I'm going to need some people to go with me so post with your intent. At least one member from both Shield and Blade.

Komosatuo
12-18-06, 09:47 PM
Treasure? Glory? Possible death?

Well, Kiomatosa (teh moi) isn't your guy but, you can count on Vince (my alt, Koran). He'll join.

Kiomatosa is still learning to be a 'proper' ninja. :P

Ravenok Kinnes
12-19-06, 02:13 PM
Count me in, Hand.

Talon
12-22-06, 04:20 PM
Alright, I'm delaying this quest for a little bit til at least after Christmas, possibly New Years, depending on how good the gifts I get are. Better to start a bit later than to end up killing the thread because of inactivity.

Osato
12-27-06, 06:25 PM
Feh, sorry man, I'm gonna have to leave. I don't want anyone realying on me just yet... I'm not even very active as it is.

I'll catch you later sometime.

Jasmine
12-28-06, 01:24 AM
I would, but raiding isn't Poison's cup of tea anymore... she gave up thievery for assassinry.

Point Soulularity
01-01-07, 12:03 AM
I am interested in involving my character in this Group. However my IC joining will have to be delayed until I finish a little intro RP I've joined. If you read my bio's history, (the link is in my signature), you will find mention of an NPC I've dubbed "the Shadow". He will show up in my intro thread and strongly suggest Indrid join this group.

When I do join, it will be as a Blade—if I'm accepted, that is.

Talon
01-01-07, 10:12 PM
You accepted. Just get back to me when you are joined IC. I'll go ahead and add you.

Talon
01-02-07, 09:59 PM
For those involved in the Powergroup quest, it is finally up in Sulgorian's Axe in Salvar!

Kell
01-08-07, 03:01 PM
hi, i'm interested in joining, but in a different degree than the usual. i would, in the official capacity of what is common, like to join as a middle man (woman, more correctly) both blade and shield (seeing as kell would enjoy both) but also in a much more unique capacity, that would be far more useful for the group in general, that is, if you and the group are willing to help start, and back it up with funds, i would like to be sort of a Q labs for the group, making this and that, poisons, weapons, equipment, of all maner of uses.

Talon
01-08-07, 03:40 PM
Hmm... interesting. How much funds would you need? At the moment, we aren't the most rich group.

Also, since Ravenok seems unable to post for some reason, I either need someone else to come with us, or I'm just going to go on our own.

Kell
01-08-07, 04:21 PM
hmm, well im not really sure how much it would cost, i guess i will get in contact with a mod, and see how much it would be, or what it would take to create a shop situation (i figure that the way we can work is that i work by cost of labor not cost of materials, which would be factored in if i have to go to the bazaar and purchase the materials, as a discount to members) and i would be interested in joining the quest if you want me to.


EDIT: this edit was put up as of the 14th of jan to keep from a triple post.

im afraid that since its going to be a pain, and second, due to recent changes in her story arch, shes not going to be able to join right now. might in the future, might pay into the group for work to be done as well, but either way, i was a bit premature in joining, hope theres no hard feelings at me leaving.

talk to you all laterz.

Kell
01-11-07, 09:16 PM
sorry for teh double post

well its going to be around about 10 000 gp and materials to do it teh easy way. or a very very good quest.

Komosatuo
01-29-07, 08:16 PM
Word up to those of you who be in this here guild, an all that there jazz.

Word down to those of you who be in this here guild, but ain't be a postin in the guild quests!

Any word on when that's going to move along, if ever? O.o

Talon
01-29-07, 08:22 PM
Sorry that I haven't been on much lately. So much going on, plus I'm in a bunch of threads with my various characters so I apologize. Hopefully something will happen soon.

Komosatuo
01-29-07, 08:28 PM
Okies. Da message was directed more towards Ravenok but if he's unwilling to post, I guess it could just be you and Koran. :P

Take your time, Koran's got a big deal going on in Salvar (not in the castle) so he's in none to terrible a hurry.

Darkness Impulse
01-29-07, 08:49 PM
*Sigh* I'll post tomorrow. It's just us three, right? I hope so.

Iain
01-31-07, 09:45 AM
I'm very interested in joining this PG. New member, I know, but I have RP'd on forums similar to althanas in the past. My character is based in Salvar, so a connection would be easily made. However, I would like to request a small quest or a random-encounter battle as means for Iain to learn of the guild's existence and/or his recruitment.

I think Iain would fit in best with the Sword.

Koran
02-26-07, 09:28 PM
Is this still active?

Hello their, i wish to join this guild


Trist is a necromancer-for-hire, i do say he would probably be in the shield don't you think so? anyway i hope you accept me....

Talon
04-16-07, 01:33 PM
Ello everyone. No I'm not dead, just been incredibly busy with class. Still am in fact, but I'm going to try and start up here and get things going again. Anyone that still wants to join, please post again. As for The-Magic-Sword, you are welcome to join under the Shield.

The-Magic-Sword
04-16-07, 01:40 PM
*Salutes* okay sir!


Trist awakened an un-dead fighter to figure out the combination on the brick wall by trial and error....

Camella
04-19-07, 11:03 AM
Why wouldn't Camella join? Count me in.

Talon
04-19-07, 03:29 PM
You're in, which do you want? Shield or Sword.

Camella
04-25-07, 12:14 PM
The blade. I just cant see Camella as a shield.

Talon
04-28-07, 02:44 PM
Done.

Talon
04-28-07, 05:44 PM
Boy do I feel lame. Anyone who has joined recently, I need a codename for your character to be used in official guild business.

Camella
04-30-07, 10:09 AM
Codename? hmm... how about Invisible Assassin.

By the way, Should I put my membership in my Sig?
