-(+)- Faction 13: House Guard -(+)-

[Wumpatron]

​

Faction 13 exists as the thirteenth division of the Rainbow Company, a collective of varying sizes of mercenary factions owned and maintained by House dei Termini. The idea behind Rainbow Company began as the dei Termini influence and banking clan grew, resulting in a need to protect varying investments and physical institutions. As time passed, the dei Termini saw that having several mercenary factions only proved to cause financial strain as home defense was not entirely imperative, as such they leased several factions to their business partners and allies to serve their varying interests. At the height of their power, Rainbow Company possessed fourteen different mercenary factions with a member total close to seventy-seven across all factions. In current times this number has dropped to twelve factions and roughly forty-two members, until recently.

With the previous twelve factions of Rainbow Company on different assignments, there exists a need for a dedicated branch within the capital of the Regalian Empire. This branch is simply known as Faction 13, making them the thirteenth division of the Rainbow Company. It's purpose is to carry out the tasks the House dei Termini requires them, including but not limited to guard work and other, more private affairs that allow Faction 13 members to carry out odd tasks at the request of discretion and efficiency.

Faction 13 differs from the other twelve factions of Rainbow Company in that it is a House Guard and adheres to the House Guard rules, not mercenary rules. These rules are as follows:

• Rights to wear A cuirass/chest-plate of plate armor of any kind. (arms/neck/head may not be armored)
  
• Rights to wear a chain-mail skirt/hip-guard, no further armor above cured leather. (legs/feet/neck may not be armored)
  
• The right to bear weapons in open carry, but not military grade.
  
• The right to defend any member of a Noble household from aggression.
  
• The right to perform citizen arrests on attackers against said Nobles.
  
• The right to transfer citizen arrests to City Guard Authorities.

An extension of this is that Faction 13 also follows the same doctrine as the rest of Rainbow Company, in that they are capable of being leased out to others for private usage. This usage can apply to event guarding, personal guarding, or possible other tasks that may be discussed should Faction 13 be leased. Faction 13 is limited in that aspect in that only other nobility are capable of hiring them, as to adhere to the rules of being a House Guard.

Primary weapon usage of Faction 13 is the Drixon Spear. Membership does not require it as being trained in using the spear effectively is a simple process. Use of other weaponry is permitted as the dei Termini believe that trained fighters are more efficient than standing pawns.

Faction 13 is presently lead by Deo dei Termini @Mortisian as he maintains all operations for the functioning of Rainbow Company as a whole. Any questions regarding leasing Faction 13 or for an application into the House Guard are to be submitted to him or the patriarch, Giovanni dei Termini @Wumpatron

The application process for joining Faction 13 is simple. Below will be the format, however starting a forum conversation with either @Mortisian or @Wumpatron is acceptable, as well as IG communication between characters.

Greetings,

I'm writing this in regards to your Faction XIII recruitment. You and I have never met formally, but I would appreciate it if you and I could sit down sometime and discuss your organization; perhaps even discuss where I may fit amongst your group. Regardless, I tend to let my skill do the talking. Have you the need for a reliable sword-arm, I assure you, I won't disappoint.​

Respectfully,
Jaren Landvik​

Two questions
1. What defines "Military grade" weaponry
2. Is Discord an acceptable substitute for Skype?

1: Military Grade is anything not readily available for purchase from a common blacksmith store. I'll find the link in a short moment.(Update) No direct link was found so I will suffice to say the uniform and issued armaments are within Imperial Regulations.

2iscord is an acceptable Alternative.

To the Mr. Coyotl,
Due to the fact that I hardly know of you and your capabilities. I will put you on a trial run period of 3 Weeks. Within these three weeks you will do your best to show to me that you are capable of displaying the following traits, in honor of good service.

1. Honor
2. Duty
3. Respect
4. Loyalty
5. Civility
6. Humility

Once you showcase these things to me you will become a full fledged member of the House Guard.

I believe military grade weapons are weapons such as crossbows and pikes, which are limited to the regalian military. There used to be a list on the regalian law page but it seems they removed it. I don't believe most weapons are included, so in general you should be fine.

Dear Lord Deo dei Termini,

Your house is growing, sir. Guards, servants, et cetera...
You are, however, missing something... You cannot have a
magnificent guard like you aspire to achieve without a man such as myself.
I may be coming off a bit forward, m'lord. However, I do believe my
handy work may become of use to you. I can become a great use to you and
your house. The Deo dei Termini house is going to prosper and become a
corner-stone of this world, but you do need a man of my technical ability alongside
your combatants. I will be able to supply your guards with the greatest and latest
the field of engineering has to offer.

I do hope you consider this, lord.

Fritz Brennan.
