tl;dr
The Fallen Leaf is a Pandaria-aligned and pandaren led paramilitary order that seeks to unify Pandaria and reform its empire to ensure its independence. The order also performs as a mercenary company all around the world to both fund this and to make necessary connections.
A golden leaf
From the tree of old.
It fell at the pinnacle of war,
Bringing not death but dawn.It rose with the wind,
Traveling across the land,
Gathering many more to join.Together they fluttered
Through the tumultuous sky,
Finding much conflict to sate.The golden leaf:
A sign of rising hope,
Uniting the scattered;
Bringing about a new empire.
The Fallen Leaf
Events and RP
The guild’s RP focuses on two things:
- 1.) The order’s progress to further their agenda and influence in Pandaria through diplomatic missions and its defense, alongside their evolution from a group of mercenaries into something Pandaria can depend on.
- 2.) The neutral mercenary aspect in Azeroth as the order travels from one location to another in search of various kinds of work to do. (From an IC point of view this is done to fund the order’s operations in Pandaria to slowly work towards unifying the continent in order to ensure its independence in the future.)
Ranks
(Click to expand)
Xiake
IC:
Being the Master’s right hand, there will be only one Xiake at a time. Xiake is expected to take responsibility over the rest of the Order and guide them. He or she has similar responsibilities to the Master’s, but only when the Master is absent. In addition to this, the Xiake works as the Master’s advisor in the Order’s matters.
OOC:
Being the guild master’s right hand, there will be only one Xiake at a time. Xiake is expected to make events if the calendar looks empty, provide random RP for people and handle a part of the recruitment. He/she has similar responsibilities to the guild master’s, but only when the guild master is absent.
Sages & Protectors
IC:
Sages and Protectors are the highest ranking members of the order, and act as guardians. They generally work in leading position in a safe house and are responsible for its logistics and functionality. If there are more Protectors and Sages than safe houses, they assume a group of their own and work in the field.
OOC:
Sages and Protectors act as senior officers for the guild. Their responsibilities are the same as a Jade Shield’s, but on top of this they provide guidance to junior officers, and in the absence of the Master, their word overrules that of a Jade Shield. (Their alts can be recognised from the Officer Alt rank)
Jade Shield
IC:
Jade Shields are the field officers of the order. Each Jade Shield is in charge of a group of their own, and lead them in day to day work and contracts. They are expected to ensure the order’s rules are followed, and that the members of their group behave in a manner that reflects well on the order.
OOC:
Jade Shields are the junior officers of the guild, and their responsibilities include a part of the recruitment, providing random RP for the members, helping with and creating events occasionally, moderating the guild chat, enforcing the guild’s rules, and introducing the new members to the order’s ways IC. (Their alts can be recognised from the Officer Alt rank)
Leafguard
IC:
The exemplary members, and the elite of the order. The Leafguards have a duty to assist Jade Shields in running each group and have authority over Swordsmen and Initiates.
OOC:
If Jade Shield is a junior officer rank, the Leafguard is a junior junior officer rank. The rank holds no OOC responsibilities, but instead its responsibilities and duties are all entirely IC. They will be helping the Jade Shields to ensure rules are followed, and will occasionally take command for missions.
Swordsman
IC:
Swordsmen are the not so new members of the order, who have adapted to the order’s tenets and methods. They are expected to follow the tenets well and present the order positively, along with participating as they would have as an initiate.
OOC:
Swordsmen are the not so new members of the guild, who have adapted to the order’s tenets and methods. They are expected to follow the rules well and give a positive image of the guild.
Solo Operative
IC:
Part of the order’s new intelligence branch, the solo operatives work independently around Azeroth. They are tasked with gathering information and performing whatever tasks they deem to fit within the order’s tenets, and rather than monthly wage, they are paid according to their performed services and delivered information.Unlike the rest of the order’s members, their movement is not restricted, and they are allowed to affiliate with other organisations. This also means that while bearing this rank, they cannot progress within the order’s own hierarchy, and that they must be accompanied by a field team in order to enter the order’s safe houses. When working solo, they do not officially represent the order, nor do they wear its insignia.
Despite the often independent nature of their work, they can still accompany the order’s field teams in their work.
OOC:
On an OOC level this is meant as a lower-commitment and less restrictive option to partake in the guild’s RP.
Initiate
IC:
Initiates are the new members who have passed the interview/initiation into the order. They are expected to participate in the main group’s activities, as well as try to follow the tenets to their best.
OOC:
Initiates are the new members who have passed the interview/initiation into the order. They are expected to participate in the random RP and events (Not that we can force anyone to do it), as well as try to follow the rules to their best.
