Pact is an individual stand-alone Immersive Roleplaying group, originally formed by 6 players, the aim is to bring a very neutral, friendly group in which characters look out for each other. All our character have lives outside the game, often Roleplayed on our forums in a Forum RP style, Pact is also in a very close Coalition with The Corporation we've a working base designed with Roleplay at the top of the list, our theme could be classed as Mercenary, but due to the wide variety of characters currently in the group its more a close-knit specialist team.

[edit] Activities

IC Missions as often as possible, group meets, Pocket D's, Roleplay around the Rogue Isles, character plots, group plots, long running plots, community plots (Supremacy) we also do alot of Forum Roleplay, training sessions, and everything else you'd expect from an immersive Roleplaying group.

[edit] Headquarters

Pacts base of operations lies in the hillside of Mount Diable, in Cap Au Diable, it is superbly well hidden. This used to be an abandoned and collapsed nuclear bunker, which has now been dug out, beneath it was a collapsed Circle of Thorns temple in which the group found an adventurer by the name of Edric Thorne, he was taken on by Pact due to his superior knowledge of magical items and artifacts.

[edit] Background

When two directors of EVIL announced their resignation, most of the active remaining members decided it was time to start afresh. Founded on 29th of August, these members held a meeting and formed Pact. Intending to form a close-knit group, each with their own friendships to other members, Pact assigns specific roles as well as guidelines to recruitment and operation.

[edit] Meeting talks

During a group meeting on the night of the 9th of September it was discussed who would take which roles in the group. Red Sickle volenteered to be the groups training officer due to her KGB background and military training. Blue Serpent took charge of the base maintainence and architectural aspects, this was due to the manpower she could field. Antipode dealt with administration work, aswell as being the groups quatermaster, due to her relative past. Echo Thompson became the groups representative and recruitment officer, due to her image in the public eye and vast network of contacts and friends. Big Game Took his role as medical officer further, due to his new training he knew how to deal with simple injuries, aswell as a security officer. Psyfly took on the role of interrogator, due to his mind reading abilities.

[edit] OOC Background

Pact is a freindly and mature Roleplay group, close knit, and taking quality over quantity were all a good bunch of friends OOC and want more to join us in our immersive style of Roleplay.

The core is essentially immersive roleplay. In-Character Actions = In-Character Consiquences is top of the list, this meaning that the Roleplay is as 'real' as it can be, punch someone in the face is an action, the consiquence could be a punch back, or worse! All our characters have life beyond the game, more than often forum Roleplay is used as a great tool.

Alot of the members in the groups motivation is money, some have artifacts they wish to aquire, some have knowledge they wish to learn, others are in it because their friends, albeit not completly law-obiding ones. Roleplay is taken seriously although sometimes very humourous, aiming to be a friendly Villian Group with less of the "Muhahaha" type of Villian the main thing we seek is that the group is able to pull together, not corrupt each other.

[edit] Getting in the group

• No roleplaying experience is necessary, though roleplaying is mandatory.

• No AT or Origin is required, and players can join from level 1.

• Characters who apply must fit into the group, theres a one to two week probation period in which the characters can be assesed, aswell as the player's ability to Roleplay and effort into it.

• At the end of the probationary period all members will vote on whether to keep the new recruit. If any one member is against it, membership will be refused (this method is referred to as black-balling). While strict, this approach will hopefully ensure that no rivalries or major disagreements will appear in the group.

• Players must be sociable. IC, though villains, characters that try to sabotage or attack group members will be refused, or removed. As will characters that are unduly unpleasant or insulting. Being "a villain" doesn't equate to being anti-social.
