NEW INFO!
So, two things to this update. First and foremost. Rangers have been revamped.
There are now three classifications of Shadow Rangers; Antumbra, Penumbra, and Umbra.
Antumbra
Antumbra are the Rangers that make the gears of the city turn round. They are foragers, hunters, gatherers, protectors. They do the things that keep the Clockwork City running like the well oiled machine it is. Antumbra Rangers may occasionally go on low-profile missions, small risk stuff, missions that could be completed within a few hours to a day or two at the most. They have tasks assigned to them. Every Antumbra Ranger works 4 days a week. All Fledgelings that become Rangers are first filtered into Antumbra, after 6 months, they can test for Penumbra or Umbra.
Examples: Tesha Nallvir, Kenneth Kent
Penumbra
Penumbra Rangers take on the bulk of all missions. All of their missions come from Alucard himself, while not on missions, they are expected to assist Antumbra when they can. This is on a work scale of 3 workdays a week. When a Penumbra returns from a mission, they have one week of recovery before they can be sent out again, during this time they are expected to file a mission report and deliver it to Alucard in the Clockwork Tower. Their Rest period can be revoked in a time of emergency, in those times, missions reports are delivered orally as opposed to written.
Examples: Jacob Vari, Zander Warshaw
Umbra
Umbra are the elites. Maybe not always the strongest, but they know their shortcoming and work hard to cover them. Umbra take on Super Critical Missions, missions that could take months, years, at a time. Umbra Rangers understand that what they do is so extremely important, that until the mission is complete, they do not come home. Failed missions are not an option for Umbra Rangers. When home from missions, Umbra Rangers are required to give an Oral Report of the mission as soon as they return. They are then allowed, at a minimum, a month of rest before performing other duties within the Clockwork City. Other Duties often include teaching Fledgelings, and seeing certain tasks done for the Shadow Master.
Examples: Atlas, Tershal Nallvir
Second thing. Sometime soon, I hope to get a Plot thread underway for our guild here. Plot threads differ from Social Threads as Plot Threads are Invitation Only. I repeat
Plot Threads are Invitation Only. Meaning, Unless I personally invite you, please refrain from posting in those threads. If you want me to consider your character(s) for a plot thread, PM me and ask. It's a tight plot ahead of us with very cool things planned, and I want people to get the most out of it.
More on the first Plot thread to come later. Until next time.
Have a good one!
