Step Right Up, There's Plenty of Death for Everyone!

Are you interested in the simple joys of killing people, in masses? Are you into that lovely smell of boiling blood? Do you enjoy the sound it makes when the blood is gurgling out of the hole you just made in another person? When you were a child, were you always stealing the other children's toys? Welcome, you're a Mercenary. Except, we don't do the whole killing in the name of gold anymore - that's sooooo boring. It's MUCH more fun to just decimate entire families FOR THE HELL OF IT! Yeah, we're OLD but IMPROVED and we've got TWICE as much death to deal out this time because now we're not limited by gold. BANDIT RAIDS, FOR THE WIN!

NOTE: Although we keep our old Mercenary name, we're just going to another definition of it: The bandit, rough 'n tumble EAT YOUR HEART WITH A SPOON definition.

History

Back in the day, The Malice was a kind-hearted man. He came over to Shartak with a batch of survivors who ended up founding Durham. Soon it turned out that there was to be a road connecting the settlements of York and Durham. The Malice set out to help with the road-building when he noticed that a large amount of people appeared to be identical! How odd! He killed one and so started his serial-killing days, dashing onto the road and killing those who worked on it. Eventually, The Malice gained his current nickname - because he was a Malice.

A few days after he started killing those on the road, he noticed someone named Wojciech who shared his ideals. Wojciech turned out to be a friend of The Malice from long ago, so they joined together once more and united efforts against the road. They smashed roadmarkers, obliterated directions carved on trees, and urinated on the road in a (relatively futile) attempt to have it grow back. Although belatedly, the road was finished despite the efforts of the two, and they found themselves without anything to do. After twiddling their thumbs a bit, they decided to call a truce with the highwaymen and entered the settlement of York - ironically, The Malice got a bit lost on the way there even though he was following a road. York appeared to be under attack from Pirates and Native villagers alike so the two fought side by side with their old enemies against a new, more coordinated force. When they had a super-secret meeting in the middle of a packed Armoury, someone mysteriously over-heard their plans of sneaking into the jungle and killing random people and asked to join their group.

After a few more days, the trio decided to just stay in York a bit longer, get refreshed, and become full-time mercenaries instead of pillaging bandits. A few hours later and they decided to just make it formal, so the first Mercenary's Guild of Shartak was created.

Afer a long and healthy bout of killing for money, everyone was so bored of being told what to kill, so there was a mass revolt lead by the original leaders (ha, ha, get it?) and so now the Mercenary's Guild just kills people, period (do I have to put a period at the end of this now?)

Right before the revolt that lead to the shiny new Bandit Clan, two new ringleaders joined and one old one left because of inactivity, so there's plenty of new thoughts around, period

Goals

The Mercenaries have no goals in particular. They fight evil and good alike and there are only a few things they shy away from doing. They stay together in a close-knit group of friends and go where they want until someone gets a better idea. Depending on who and what and where, they might even defend against other bandits.

Do's and Dont's

The MG does not shy away from much, but there are a few things it will not do:

• The Mercenary's Guild will not zerg or use multiple characters owned by one person to complete its

goals.

• The Mercenary's Guild will not... Well, that's pretty much it. Ain't that somethin'?

Members and Nonmembers

Our member list is private, duh.

Imposters: Mexkrax, http://www.shartak.com/profile.cgi?id=1777, who should be killed on sight by any Mercenary's Guild. Although banished now, he paraded openly as a mercenary for many weeks, killing mercenaries in his path, and due to an error in the payroll system, there was no way to kick him out.

Benefits

As a full-fledged, legal guild on the lovely island of Shartak, we offer various benefits to working with us. Full dental, for example. A member-only Opium Den. Opening soon is a member-only Brothel. We are an EOE.
