The Regalian Guard is the first line of defense against enemies within the city and the last line of defense against the enemy without. Within the streets of the holy city these soldiers are given the sole task of keeping criminal activity to a minimum. The exact execution of this left to the individual resulting in the common view that each man to be guilty until proven innocent. Those harassed by guardsmen look at the organization as both corrupt and overly violent. While not far from the truth the Regalian Guard is an organization composed of soldiers from different armies cultures and fighting schools and thus has a wide variety of personalities that can be found within its ranks.
As a guardsman you are expected to above all things provide and create roleplay within the city. Strict adherence to the law is less required and there is a large degree of freedom even as a common guardsman to exercise the law in your own vision within reason. It should also be noted that the guard does not exist to win or actually defeat or kill crime. With these expectations in mind the OOC requirements of being a guard are relatively high.
IC Stipulation for guards:
- Any individual that enlists into the guard also enlists for the Regalian Military. Service guarantees citizenship but it should be noted that while characters can resign the Guard, they usually remain within the army bar extraordinary circumstances. Keep this in mind when applying.
- Any character race with any citizenship status can join the guard, although all non-Ailor guards will be subject to wearing a mask at all times when on duty, and are be forced to Imperialize their name. They will also likely be subject to heavy racism from other guardsmen while off duty, including both verbal harassment and beatings.
- The guard for the most part is a strictly Unionist organization. While exceptions can be made in circumstances it should be assumed that only Imperial approved faiths can gain entry. Furthermore deviating in any way from Sanchella Unionism in faith or creed as an existing Unionist will result in immediate termination
