AVANGUARDIA DELLA NOTTE

Alignment: Chaotic Neutral ☁ Origins: Italian; Vanguard of the Night.
Member Count: 14 ☁ Alliances: n/a ☁ Territory: Oasis

The Alignment

First, I would like to specify what is meant by "chaotic neutral" and what exactly it entails for the pride. They revel in the chaos that surrounds them, perhaps they will even instigate some of their own- all in hopes of making things feel a bit more fun and lively. The pride is held to the leader's whims and sometimes other members, making whatever they do somewhat unpredictable. Since the second part of their alignment suggests neutrality, that simply means they will not take part in anyones war but their own and do not expect anything of any prides they may be aligned with. Because of this, alignments with other organizations narrow greatly, because usually an alliance is looking for something in return. They are willing to make deals, of course, for certain things such as shared territory and so on.

HISTORY

Many years ago, Peroxide started this pride with incredibly large ambitions and aspirations- you could even say he was a bit power hungry. One day everything changed because of one female who said she was passing through- Lyrical Cato. Peroxide forced her into the life of a slave, mostly on a whim and he wondered what it would be like to have one. Not long after, information on Lyrical's origins surfaced and being a member of the Zeitgeist put him and his pride at risk, some even starting to question his authority- namely his brother Suffer. However, weeks later, it became apparent that she was pregnant. The time came eventually that she would give birth, bringing two new souls into the world, one of which resembled Peroxide and was in fact of his blood- the other one being of Radiation Ferment's blood. Eventually, Peroxide let Lyrical go, along with her cub, in hopes of calming down the Ferment family and Zeitgeist. However, the majority of the pride didn't trust him anymore, leading him to disband the group.

Peroxide did quite a bit of soul searching in the meantime and now, after a long while of the pride being disbanded, Pero ran into Moracine- his old second in command. They agreed to bring back the pride, while in the process of finally staking their claim on one another and becoming mates.

THE DECREE

(IC)
i. Respect is always important in a community and should be given to everyone here. You should respect the leaders and their decisions, as well a your fellow peers, and oneself.
ii. Play nice with each other, okay? Starting fights is no way to make friends. No, not all creatures are going to get along and sometimes personalities clash, however, this is a pride and working together is key here. If there is a dispute, Peroxide or Moracine will personally settle it.
iii. If you need to go somewhere outside of where the pride is residing, other than for food, then notify the leaders and make sure it is okay with them beforehand.
iv. Any attack on someone outside of the boundaries is not permitted, unless previously sanctioned by the leaders. Certain circumstances, like revenge and such, will most likely be sanctioned. If the target is a part of another pride we are not prepared or interested in attacking, then the likelihood of such a sanction drops to 0.01%.
v. Mates are aloud, so long as the relationship is within the pride boundaries and not inter-pride. You must either leave and live with your mate in their pride, or convince them to join us.
vi. We will take in a limited amount of orphaned cubs, so long as there is someone willing to look after him/her. If, for some reason, there is a lack of cubs being born, then that limited amount is subject to change.
vii. Sparring is permitted and encouraged, so long as there are creatures present and watching. A sparring match should not result in another's death, and if such should happen foul play will be heavily considered.

(OOC)
i. God-moding, power-playing, and all those other big no-no's won't be allowed in this pride. Also, be sure to follow all forum rules as usual.
ii. There is no character limit at this time, just don't unload all of your characters in here just because they "need a home". Activity from each of your characters- or one- is expected to at least appear in one thread the pride has. Of course, it is understandable if you become busy and fall inactive, just let us know please.
iii. R-E-S-P-E-C-T FIND OUT WHAT IT MEANS TO ME. I really don't think I should have to go into detail with this one guys.
iv. There is a thin line between out of character and in character. When you are in character (ic), you pretty much take on the thought process and actions of whatever character you are playing at the time. When you are out of character (ooc), you are saying something that the character would not say and it is usually nonsense that you yourself is saying. Now, with that said, it should be expected that none of you bring out of character comments or actions into anything that is in character and vice versa. It can become terribly confusing and leave people wondering what the hell is going on with your character.

HIERARCHY

Royalty

Emperor / Empress
The leader(s) whose words are law and are the highest authority in the pride. A male or female can be leading the pride at any given time- or both.

The Heir(s)
Initially all of the cubs born from the Emperor and Empress will be listed here, however, by process of elimination, whoever is left will most likely succeed the throne. They will only succeed once the current leader(s) die or retire.

Grand Duke / Grand Duchess
They are the seconds in command and generally two capable, former heirs take this position. However, that is not always the case. Regular members that have proven their worth can fill these ranks, but only by the Emperor or Empress's decree. Should this happen, be aware that if one of the positions is filled, and the Duke/Duchess has a mate- their mate does not get to fill the other position unless they have proven themselves as well.

Overseer(s)
They are what you could call captains of the three major corps. There are only three at any given time. They include: Head Medic reigning over the Curative Corps, Head Maestro reigning over the Training Corps, Viceroy/Vicereine reigning over the whole combatant corps.

Combatant Corps

Knights
They are the first line of defense in the battlefield as well as protectors of the border. They are also in charge of bringing back food for the pride when on patrols. There is no limit to these.

Garroter
They are the assassins of the pride, the ones that deal with creatures in the shadows, leaving no trace of their existence. There is no limit to these.

Curative Corps

Medic(s)
They are trained to patch up wounded combatant corps members and move them to a safer location if they can't continue fighting. When they are not in the battlefield, they often help soon-to-be-mothers give birth. No limit.

Intern(s)
They assist in retrieving the bodies of the fallen and wounded, and help the medics with whatever they are asked. Often times they are adolescents looking to become a medic or young adults that have not completely decided what role they want. No limit

Security Corps

Sleuth
They investigate the dealings of other prides and inform the Emperor or Empress of any possible hostilities toward ADN. When in battle, they also scout out the enemies numbers and movement options. There is no limit to these.

Turnkey(s)
They are the jail keepers, guarding the prisoners from escaping as well as unneeded antagonism. If it is ordered, they will torture a prisoner for answers. They report directly to the Emperor/Empress for instructions and do not have an overseer. No limit.

Training Corps

Maestro
The teachers of the pride, usually older members that have since retired, but every once in a while there is a fresh face that decides to be a teacher. They teach the young ones how to survive, the basics of the basics.

Assistants
They are the teenagers that will soon graduate and stick close to a creature of his/her choosing that will teach them to do one of the jobs available to them.

Youth
The youngest pride members.

Prisoner(s)
They are either prisoners of war or they were caught trespassing.
