Shamus info station

[Akyra]

Welcome

This is the location of all the information you’ll need on the Shamus rank. From current missions to possible recruits, everything about the Shamus’ will be found here.

I must make it clear, all information listed here is purely OOC. This includes everything from missions to character rankings. Do not take any of it IC.

Please, do not post. If you have any questions about the Shamus’, please PM Pride, and she will be able to answer them, or to direct you to where you need to go. Thank you!

The Population

The Captain
Amanda
The Captain is in charge of handing the subordinate Shamus their assignments, as well as keeping on top of their reports, and reporting anything significant to the Commission. She is responsible for training new Shamus and assuring that they fill the requirements. She used to be a Shamus that rose to her new position through service to the mafia. She is able to assign Empty Suits to the Shamus rank as needed.(Written by Sevena, I believe, and slightly edited by Pride.)

The Shamus’
Bishop
The Shamus’ are given missions throughout Aryion and beyond. This can include being a runner for messages, backing up The Crew, keeping an eye on the population of hyenas or other threats, and any other mission the Commission thinks fit. Shamus can accept new members into the pride at their own digression, therefore they must be hand-picked by a leader or the Captain Shamus for good judgment and ability. They are the detectives of Aryion, and may be privately sent on missions, and are to keep the mission to themselves. (Written by Sevena, I believe, and edited by Pride.)

The Hopefuls
None
Those that have approached one of the leaders or the Captain about becoming a Shamus’, but are still being decided about, or are going through a test.

The Potential
None
Those that the leaders or Captain have personally noted to be a good possibility for the rank of Shamus. They may be approached and asked if they are interested, or they may be left to their own devices.

The Dishonorable
None
Some Shamus’ have disgraced the name of the rank. Those are the ones that are demoted from the rank, and put under this list. It’s not a good place to be.

The Shamus’ are given missions throughout Aryion and beyond.

How do I become a Shamus?
It is preferred that you do this ICly; have your character approach a leader or The Captain about wanting to become a Shamus. Another way is to perhaps volunteer to go on a mission if there is a need for someone to do one, or to overall show Shamus-like qualities. However, if you’re just wanting a short-cut, you can PM a leader or The Captain about it.

The Code of Honor

Missions
It is not necessarily a rule so much as a given that all Shamus fulfill the mission given to them. If they are unable to do the mission it is a disgrace, and while they may not be demoted they won’t be looked upon highly at all. If a Shamus thinks that it is not their fault that the mission wasn’t a success, they may plead their case to The Captain, who will in turn pass the message on to the leaders and discuss it, and decide whether or not the Shamus is at fault or not.

Secrecy
Unless directly told otherwise, all missions given to the Shamus’ are secret. To betray the secret is to betray your rank, and depending on the severity of the mission it could be the cause of a demotion – or worse, if the betrayal is so much that the Shamus has betrayed their entire pride. But no matter how important it was that the secret is kept, if you tell of your mission your Captain will not be happy with you.

Meetings
A Shamus should attend all meetings they are called to, whether it be by their Captain or by a leader, or any sort of Beta rank. This is important; it could just be a check of what the Shamus’ are doing, or it could very well be a mission, and you won’t know until you get there. Failure to show is considered a failure to do your job, and depending on number of times that it has happened, could result in a demotion.

What We’re Doing

Missions
Collecting Tax Currently The Captain is off to collect the due tax from the Ukoo hyenas, and has taken a Hitman with her for safety.

Recruiting
The rank of Shamus is dreadfully empty – Amanda is keeping an eye out for potential lions, and if you think you’re up for the job don’t hesitate to approach her!
