Hidden Blades; A Dark Guild

Hey everyone, so I have been given approval to create a new Dark guild for the site. If you maybe have a guildless character, or are planning a character this might be ideal for you. Please have a look and let me know if you're interested in joining.

Unseen.
Non-existent.
A whispered rumour.

Hidden Blades work in the shadows; they do not draw attention to themselves, they are a deadly force that unknown to all. To most, they are just scary story, Be good, or in the night the hidden blade will come. But in truth, they are very real, and they are very dangerous.

This dark guild was created and funded by the profound multi-billion jewel organisation known as Dagger Corp. A small army of their most elite warriors, who would go out and deal with their enemies by any means possible. Whether it be by gathering unsavoury details about them to use against them, setting them up from crimes they did not commit, or as a last result, eliminating them entirely. Mages that exist within the guild are usually highly skilled with some kind of lethal ability; they should not seek fame or recognition. It is a place to be hidden from the world because even if you are a hidden blade, the world won't truly know of it. Exposing the guild's existence has but only one penalty; death.

Goals

• To eliminate any who seek to damage or destroy Dagger Corp.
  
• To remain hidden from the world, their dark deeds are protected from outsiders, meaning that they can walk around without being recognised
  
• To maintain the secrets of the guild existence as well as it's affiliation to Dagger Corp. Any attempt to expose them will result in death.

• Members will go by an alias in the guild, giving your real name is prohibited, only a chairman or director may know your characters real identity.
  
• While on jobs all members are required to wear the uniform, their face covered at all times. They are not required to wear these disguises around the Guildhall, however.
  
• Never tell anyone about Hidden Blades, ever. Guild matters can ONLY ever be discussed with other members.
  
• Only the Chairman and Directors will know about Hidden Blades true affiliation to Dagger Corp. Regular members will be under the notion that the company occasionally uses the guild for unsavoury jobs, in their eyes Dagger Corp. is just a benefactor to them, they will not, however, know they the company are in fact the sole creators of the guild.
  
• To become an official member, an introduction thread is required with a Director / Chairman. New members will have been recruited into the guild via a personalised invitation; this is an IC plot rule only, you do not have to be invited into the guild to join.
  
• Guildmarks have an enchantment on them that makes the marks invisible to those who are not members of the guild.

The Chairman
Essentially the Guild Master, this is the character who runs the entire operation. Generally, their true identity is unknown to its members, only the Ace, or permitted members may know who they really are. Everyone else should refer to them by the provided alias.
The Directors
Otherwise known as the Aces of the guild. These work directly under the Chairman to handle their own departments. Their orders are absolute and can only be overruled by the Chairman.
CO ( Combat Operative )
The assassins of the guild, those assigned to this department will be the ones that are more inclined to murder selected targets in a discreet and efficient fashion — a key combat unit designed to fight for the guild and protect its foundation. Those in this group are essential its soldiers; their focus isn't so much murder, although they can do so if necessary, however, these would be expected to be involved in various darker jobs and the illegal activity of the guild.
IO ( Intelligence Operative )
Those assigned to this group will gather Intel on enemies and collect information sort of to profit the guilds clients (which is actually Dagger Corp). They are trusted to handle the gathering of information as well as handling counterintelligence, meaning they protect information about the organisation from the public.
SO ( Support Operative )
This division is in charge of internal affairs in the guild, handling contact with clients,  provide security for the guild itself and would generally be filled with healers, fixers and the like.
Unclassified
The interns of the guild, unassigned to a specified role. They are technically still in training, in order to move out of this role. A Intern does not know anything about the groups above and will only be offered to move up once they hit the requirements.  A member most complete a total of five jobs as a guildmember, two of which must be with other guildmembers.

The Guildmark is a representation of the Hidden Blades, with the stem of rose concealing the dagger. This Guildmark is embedded with a series of enchantments, the first of which being that it can ONLY be seen by those with the same Guildmark and is invisible to all outsiders. It also gives its wearer a protective aura that prevents the intrusion of their mind, those wearing this guildmark, cannot have their thoughts, mind and memories read. Regardless of passive/active effects, neither can they be able to see through their lies or attempts at hiding the guild.

The Bellevue Estate [ Guild Hall ]

Bellevue LTD was once an investment corporation that was a well-known competitor to Dagger Corp. However several years ago; the Hidden Blades underwent an operation that wiped out all Bellevue representatives that were known enemies of the organisation. Breaking it down to its foundation, a year later the company re-emerged under new ownership. Still, a competitor to Dagger Corp. However what the world does not know is that the new owners of the company were actually put there by the Dagger Corporation as a façade for this is actually the base of operations for the Hidden Blades. Because Bellevue reputation has always been profoundly conventional, law-abiding and systematic in how they run their business, they tend to draw no government attention, their audits are always smooth and never require any follow-up investigation.

All new members will be provided with the uniform seen above, this is to be worn while completing ALL jobs for the guild, there are no exceptions. This armour has the ability to blend into shadows, making them less noticeable to passers-by, it also has the ability to conceal an individual's magical presence, scent, and actually manipulates the wearer's voice to make them sound unrecognisable. All armours have a regenerative ability meaning that when they are hitting with damage whether it's magical or melee, they instantly begin to restore themselves.


Once a member has moved up into an individual department, their uniforms are upgraded to the styles above. However, they still host the same abilities as the main uniform.
