Name: Go Rin No Sho
Alignment: True Neutral
Role: Mercenary Specialists
Who we are: We are those who seek to excel to the greatest extent possible at whatever path we choose. We focus on refining our skills constantly, to push the envelope of what is possible in our chosen field. We seek mastery of these pursuits both for the betterment of our company and for the sake of mastery itself. In addition to placing a high value on skill, we place an equally high value on trust. It is important for us to be able to trust each other implicitly, and for others to take us at our word, particularly in our line of work.
What we do: As a mercenary company, it is a given that we accept contracts. We feel that with our breadth of skill sets we are able to fulfill a wider range of needs than our brothers and sisters in arms. We wish to be viewed not only as swords-for-hire, but as specialists that will bring a wealth of knowledge to bear upon the tasks you approach us with. As a company, we do not generally enforce restrictions against certain lines of work, that is up to the units or individuals that the task falls upon to accept or reject on a case by case basis. The only restriction we always hold, is that once a contract is accepted, we will pursue the fulfillment of said contract with vigor.
How we do it: In practice we operate in smaller units for most things. We believe in mobility and efficiency, as such we encourage our members to work closely with members whom they feel they are most effective with. We give highest priority to the pursuit of open contracts, with the sole exception of critical company interests. Payment is made to the company itself, with rewards being parceled to those who took part in the fulfillment of the contract. Bonuses will be available to members that bring in contracts and also to those who meet a period goal.
What to expect when dealing with us: We will offer the units or individuals we feel most suitable to a task the decision on whether to accept a contract brought to us. As we contract on a per unit/individual basis it is entirely possible that we will face our own forces on the field at some point, with the exception of any alliances we have in place. We will not field against our allies. We do not feel that this is a conflict of interest as units are available first come/first serve, and in the pursuit of excellence we will regularly pit our skills against each other. If anything these forces will have the best advantage possible against each other in being familiar with their opponents beforehand and expected to execute their tasks to the fullest of their abilities.
Our place in the world: We will work towards quickly establishing a base of operations in the form of our own settlement. We will ultimately be in control of this settlement, but will sponsor other companies as suits our interests. Companies that share our settlement are automatically considered allies, with the understanding that our rewards and rules extend to them as well. In the unlikely event that another mercenary company allies with us, they will be exempt from the restriction of taking field against an ally, in the role of mercenaries only. We will have our own pursuits and goals as the world unfolds around us, but will gladly facilitate the aims of others in order to bring us another step closer to mastery.
To apply: Please feel free to express interest below for the time being, I am working on setting up a community site for us to use going forward.

はじめまして。おなめはアンヂウスムリヂアル。わたしはにほんごをすこしはなします。
Sorry. Couldn't resist. Your name looked Japanese and I still had that feature floating around on my computer from Japanease class. ;)
Now again in English!
Nice to meet you. My name is Andius Meuridiar, Grand Master of The Empyrean Order. We are purely focused around the triumph of good over evil, so we probably won't be best of friends or anything, but I still wish you the best of luck in your endeavors.

Greetings Andius, thank you for the warm welcome. While we may not see eye to eye, I hope you will find our services of great value from time to time. As a tool is neither good nor evil, merely used to the intent of the wielder; so too shall we be. Neither bent on destruction nor creation, merely the mastery of both.
Axies, we of course allow our members the choice of contracts they take up. Some will indeed view such an act with distaste, others as a chance to hone their skills just that extra bit. We are pleased to accomodate either preference.
Edit: For those interested, the forums are functioning, I think. ;)

Greetings Gozer,
Being a group of specialists that appreciate getting paid for what we do well, it will be very important to tap into the necessary trades like cargo transportation. Chances are the opportunities for transport will outnumber most other jobs, and if done well it could be a regular source of income for both those particular members and the company books. Personally, I find it hard to look down on skilled individuals that have a propensity towards swelling our coffers.
Crafting and transport may not be as glorious as avenging a victim of murder, or stealthy recon of a potential target, but it's far more necessary and practical. We strive for excellence in all pursuits and transporters are welcomed gladly.

I've added this guild announcement to the
Guild Recruitment & Helpful Links list. If you'd like me to add a brief description there, just PM me or post it here.
Also, The Seventh Veil welcomes you to the community and extends an offer of Diplomatic Outreach.

Hello Waruko, thanks for the input. Unfortunately Go Rin No Kaisha and Go Rin No Tasukufosu just don't have the same "ring" to them. ;)
Greetings Nihimon, thank you and much respect to those of a kindred calling. I believe our purposes intersect enough that we may very well pursue diplomatic relations, it could prove to be lucrative for both parties. I will contact you privately after discussing the possibility with the others.
A summary of our values could be boiled down to this: "A home for those wishing to pursue excellence in their chosen path, and to have their mastery rewarded."

Greetings Darcnes. A core tenant for the Ring of Gold within the Keepers of the Circle is proper adherence to contracts. As such, I am certain we can have a mutually beneficial relationship. Please note that should the need arise our Keepers of the Circle Chancery is now open for any foreign envoys that might wish to parlay with us.

This actually just arrived in the mail today... My father always would spout wisdom from it, and I never realized how good it gets until a couple years ago. Ah well, this looks like a good enough guild to practice some "carpentry" in. Might look into it should I decide to join a guild.
At the very least, Darcnes, you have a friend in this vigilante.

The Viridian Order extends greetings to a fellow neutral aligned CC. I'm sure they will be times when our interests align or we want a place to shop or craft. As long as the Go-Rin-No-Sho is low impact on the environment we'd be happy to co-operate with you.

Ravening and The Viridian Order, I should hope that our efforts appear to have great impact, but that only the contract holders can tell where that impact has occurred.
We're not looking to deforest any hexes, run a kingdom or eliminate all forces of good/evil. We each have our own goals and interests, and we strive towards mastery of our chosen professions and hopefully in the process earn a good name for ourselves.
Please, by all means seek us out for assistance or trading when you find the need for a little something extra.
