EDIT: Sorry if this belongs in Roleplays. I couldn't decide.

I'm not sure if this forum is active enough, or if there is succificent interest. But since I've joined, I've been toying with the idea. This would be my general layout.

Layout
-A guild, with 10 ranks and perks with every new rank
-Membership comprised of uesp users' characters
-Every user will be "for hire", taking on contracts from other users
-Once enlisted, a user will pick his class, which will decide which contracts he will receive
-Every class comes with a select arsenal, which is upgraded with every new rank
-Along with the arsenal upgrade, perks are bestowed on high ranking members
-One perk will be a follower, whom is selected based on your roleplay class
-One perk will be a custom weapon, named & picked from your class' arsenal
-Your weapon will start with 1 enchantment, eventually reaching 3 in subsequent promotions
-Along with their arsenal, each class has one pretend Lesser Power to benefit their role
-Each user can pick one starting spell from a pool designed to benefit their class
-These starting spells, and the spells gained on promotion are based on a classes Magic Type*

*Magic Types are )Support, )Offense, or )Enchant**
**Enchant allows the class to enchant an armor piece from their arsenal right off the bat, to offset the class' weakness

Guidelines
-Basic writing quality must be adhered to
-Grammar as well
-However, the focus should be on creative contracts
-And honest completion of them

Example Character
-Name: Samia Greenwood
-Race: Bosmer (f)
-Arsenal: bow, dagger, light cuirass, light greaves
-Magic Type: Support
-Lesser Power: Field Glasses (Telekinesis 100 ft)
-Spell Pool: Cure Disease, Water Walking, Weakness to Poison (pick one at start)
-Contracts: "A scout's contracts will be within the area of Reconnaissance and Intelligence. Gathering information by surveillance, located requested locations, and uncovering and reporting back information on a subject. A class suited for the agile, observant, and patient mercenary."

===Anyway===

I've probably dragged on. Is anyone interested? I'm hoping to make a general mercenary's guild, where users can hire ingame characters (yes, think of the characters you create in Oblivion) to perform required duties, both for the entertainment value for both sides, the sense of accomplishment, and the possible necessity. I know I need some scouts right about now. With positive responses, I'd love to see all types of assassins and thugs. Maybe somebody's legs need to be broken?

Cheers.

I think this should be moved to the RP section. I would consider joining a role-play, but this one is very restrictive. Too restrictive in my opinion. It seems that players would be bogged down in the details.

I'm sure you would know best. The restrictions seemed necessary to me. A bare-bones guild was something I have always wished to see. And my primary goal was to provide a service, where players can "hire" other users to locate and discover new information and locations, as well as anything else that could fit into their roleplay.

But it seems the idea won't be too well understood. I suppose I'll lurk more before eventually trying once more, unless anyone would like to give this a go.

I think it sounds cool, I don't know why Prophet should know any better than you do. I don't have time to set up a character right now, but if this gets off the ground I definitely will eventually.

On the contrary, most people seem to find my opinion irritating, or at the very least contrary to the majority belief. And now that your post is in the correct forum I assume you'll receive more responses.

See what I mean?

I'm rewriting this as a Mercenary's guild. Will be hiring scouts, sadists, assassins of all sorts, torturers, and alchemists.
