this guild no longer exists. it will be rebuild later.




Firstly:
Parapraxis: An action in which one's conscious intention is not fully carried out.
Geotaxis: any innate movement of a freely moving organism, stimulated by the force of gravity.
Now that that's out of the way...


Ranking system:

Slunk- The disposable group, still trying to prove themselves to the talons to be useful. [The newcomer, all new members are automatically set to slunks. The job of the slunks is primarily training and recruiting. To recruit, hoever, the slunks must refer players to people with higher ranks. This is the default class and therefore has no requirements.]

Initiate- The ones who have proven themselves worthy and useful, but not good enough to hold a higher rank. [The most common rank, given only to members who have proved themselves to be useful in some way to the guild. This rank requires that the members have proven themselves to be useful to the guild, and loyal members. The requirement is 10gp. The person must also be passed over by a talon.]

Drudge- The ones who have proven very useful in anyone thing. [The first of the progression ranks, the member has to continue to assist the guild, but must also have proven themselves as capable. Requirements are 25 gp, and at least 10 total levels in combat skills, jobs, or the ways. Stats must also total 400+.]

Steward- The ones starting to hold purpose in the guild. They receive missions. [This is the rank that ends the general leveling, and starts the specialization training. This members has to have proven that as working members of the guild they can be successful, as well as capable of handling missions. This is the first rank given serious tasks to complete. Requirements are stats totaling 500+, at least 30 levels in one area, and 50gp.]

Artisan- These are the ones who specialize in a certain job or skill. [This is the jobs rank, more specifically for crafters and smelters. However any craft profession falls into this group. The requirements are 60gp and at least 45 levels in crafts.]

Factotum- These are the ones that don't want to fight and don't want to make weapons. They are extremely disposable, unless they are mages. They also consist of people who preform multiple tasks. [This is the all around rank for jobsmen. Those that dont want to specialize to the same extent as other jobs become factotum. Factotum must have 30 levels in at least two areas, and 75gp. If someone wants to specialize in something besides crafting, and combat, then they fall into this category. Requirements for these people are 75gp, and at least 60 levels in their area of choice.]

Parapraxipal Assailant- These are important assets to the guild. They are the fighters. They fight the wars and preform missions. Sometimes an Assailant wont even know he has a mission. [This is a specialized rank for the elite fighters. They compose two groups: Defensive and Offensive. The requirements are 75gp, and at least 60 levels in combat. Mages may count levels in the ways as levels in combat.

Talon of Praxis- These are the leaders and founders are the guild. [Leaders of the guild. There are two. One is in control of the defensive branch of PA's and the guild's funds. The other is in control of the offensive branch and more secret funds that only the two talons know about. There is no leader, only the talons.]

Current Talon of Defense: Kiou Korouy

History/goal:
I never believed in the gods. I can only believe in what i can comprehend using my senses. I have never seen talad, or laanx, or any proof of any of these gods. I have only seen order and lack of order, entropy. I have never seen entropy as barbaric, in fact order is strict and imposing, whilst entropy is free and graceful, even beautiful. I have seen entropy and order, and i know where i stand. Alongside my companions we work, non-stop, to tip the scales between order and chaos. Truly we are going to reinvent Yliakum, you can be with us, triumphant, or against us and face destruction along with your order. -Kiou Korouy

The gods can not exist. How can they when people are so unhappy, longing for freedom. The gods have rules and laws. The people of Yliakum can not enjoy going through life without breaking them. I dont. If i can break a rule, it does not exist. People should be free to do what they want to when they want to, without regard for consequence. I believe that people should be able to alter the world around them to fit themselves. I have believed this since i was a small boy. -Taralallen Forgewater

  One night, i was walking home and i met a Klyros by the name of Kiou. We became friends. I told him about my beliefs he said that they would "Tip the scales of order and chaos." I had no idea what he meant until he explained himself to me. We then decided to act on our beliefs. We decided that it would take order to destroy order. We created the guild known as Parapraxis Geotaxis.
