Possible faction idea

[idkworldruler]

Hey everyone, Alex here. Just here to state an idea that I've been thinking over. Basically, Mitchell wants to grow his rather small Mercenary group into a larger fighting force. As well as become more recognized among the nations and factions.

So, how does he want to go about doing this? Why, by building his own, mercenary faction of course! The faction itself is meant to be based directly on the East India Trading co. Whom I have based his regimental flag on. However, before I go about implementing this idea, I was wanting to hear any thoughts or ideas on it first.

I like it. Garviel won't join but I support it massively from an ooc perspective.

Hey thanks for the support! :3

Have you read the Sharpe series of historical Novels? They are an awesome insight into how a black powder company/regiment is run.

[idkworldruler]

Hm, I'll have to check up on them next time I visit my ever useful, local library. How much detail does he go into?

[captainofthe10th]

About 21 novels worth :3. Pretty hardcore stuff.

[idkworldruler]

That...is definitely worth reading. Though I'm not sure if the library would have all 21 novels. ^^' Thanks for the recommendation by the way.

Based on the East India Trading co how? As in selling tea and opium?

[idkworldruler]

Well there's definitely going to be tea and other goods being sold. But as per illegal drugs? No, do to mun's personal feelings about such things. Plus I strongly doubt that ICly, Mitchell will take part in such dealings.

As for what it's based on. Well, it's going to be a large, growing trading company that has it's own military. Of course it won't be all that large at the beginning. And it's growth will be based on what happens in game.

Hmm, potentially interesting. Bruce Wayne might be interested in doing business with them on occasion.

[idkworldruler]

Sounds good to me.

I'm actually all for it

and Revan ICly would probably hire them for various things. As for what, exactly, depends on what they'd offer.

[idkworldruler]

Awesome~! I haven't even started to get to the company's details and already have a potential customer.

And they'll offer to do almost any job, from saving a kitten from a tree, guard duty to being an effective military force. And of course, there's trading and other merchant work, which the company will obviously excel at.

[revanisms]

Revan frequently looks for people to deliver to deliver messages he writes since he doesn't quite trust the crystals. You could consider that a regular job.

[idkworldruler]

Then you've found the right guy.
