"Your city's famed Ejin's School of Combat and Use of The Gift when a group of men and women wearing ashen gray armor suddenly appear. All but one wear a black mask with one crimson tear drop on the left cheek. The woman with out one was one of the most beautiful people you have ever seen and she seemed to glide in and out of combat instead of the mundane and clumsy movements of those nearby. Her weapons were an ash gray rapier and a blood red whip though it might of have been stained that color. She moves to the stage where the main ceremony for the runic marks of the school, which seemed to be the mirror of their masks a red tear inked into the skin of your right cheek though how many tears vary for skill level you earned your three tears. When she got to you and your peers she stood in front of your teacher who had stayed back, almost waiting for her to reach him. She smirked at him and did a mocking bow "Your are Ejin's heir Ysin?" Her voice was melodious and wonderful almost enough to make you follow her just to hear her talk again but you saw what she did to the lesser students you dare not move. "Ysin" she continued "I am here to ask you to follow your father's oath. Your most promising pupils belong to us for a year and a day after that who they join is up to them." He shook his "Cousin I had hoped you had retired by now. It is good you did not break your word and kill any of my students I would have to kill your people then." Ysin's voice sounded different, colder as if chilled out of his usual warmth. Her cocky smile faded like snow melt in summer "I know you could kill my guards that why I told them I would kill them myself if they killed your students." She turned toward you and the other of your rank "That one. The one over there and that one and the one here." (change this to include all of the party or have you meet the rest of the part later up to you.) "those are your best. I can tell." Ysin laughed "Yes you can. Very well then allow me a moment to explain what is about to happen." Ysin turns from her to face those selected. "You are about to join our sister organization for a trial period this happen every now and then and usually nothing bad happens they will not coerce you to hurt or harm anyone they will however do what they must to take you with them. You have my promise that I will know if you are harmed. You will be given a trial mission, usually something simple from a puffed up noble. Or if you are of the type an assassination assignment. You will not be separated from your peers though others of your age born inside the guild might join you for their right of passage. You may have noticed the mirroring our tattoos do with their markings. Their is a reason for it. Where ours serve as a warning theirs is a badge of honor of how skilled they are at the kill. Our organization are mirror images the same and yet reversed. Learn from them, take what you can from them. Join them when your time is done if you must. But above all else do not lose yourself to them. Remember that last bit as there is more then what it seems to be at the moment. With both of these organizations they always have a surprise and more often then not it is never very pleasant." The lady sighed "If your finished with them?" He nodded and went down among the wounded and started yelling orders. "My name is Nysina. You either call me Mistress Nysina or Lady. You will not talk at the moment. You are about to do a trial run as Ysin said. I have looked at all of your dossiers and you all would thrive in our organization if given a chance. Now come." With that she turns on her heel and walk down the steps of the stage and throws her hand out. A strange light flitters in the air for a moment then engulfs your sight. Suddenly you are in what appears to be the entrance hall of a stone keep. It has to be by the shear size of the room. The walls feature old hangins and several different weapon displays. Nysina turns to you and your fellows "Welcome to headquarters. You will be outfitted with weapons and armor that fit you from here they will be yours to keep and yours to take care of. You get what amounts to sign in bonus of 100 gold crowns use it as you wish. If you have anything at the school you may need tell me now so it may be collected swiftly. Your assignment and any additional partners will given to you in four days. For tonight go to your rooms and sleep this day off tomorrow will be a exhibition day. Our trainers are going to look you over and polish you up a bit. That will be all follow the guards to your rooms. For today you will be locked in remember what your teacher said. You are safe as long as you cooperate if you betray use in anyway you will punished as guild law dictates. No exception. Dismissed." Your group goes to your room in a state of shock. When you get there it is a lush room outfitted to be shared by your group. There two baths one off to the right and the left. The beds are bunk beds though they seem overly large to considered as such and there is a large amount of steaming food waiting. It seems to be meant for both you and your guards, The guards sit down and poor their drink and begin to eat first assuring you their is no poison in the foods. Straight ahead of the table in the set back in the wall is a large wooden door. A normal looking door though there is no clue to what it leads to. One of the guards motions for you to sit and eat and explains to you "You are to have a chaperon while you are here it will be one of the school's former students that joined after something like this happened they will advise you on your movements and action's inside of this compound. They will not advise you on what choice to make in a year and they will not help in your field assignment. They will know weather or not anyone will be joining on your assignment. After you assignment is given you have the rest of this year to complete. If you complete it before the year is up or complication are added to the mission compounding it to last longer then said year whether or not you stay on is up to you. If you discover anything unusual on your mission that does not seem to fit you are required to search out the source of this and find out what it is. If you fail your mission, and this rarely happens, you will assigned a new one. This one is usually to kill those that caused you to fail in the first place, a mission of retribution as it were. And as you are most likely to be given caravan guard, its the best thing for green things like you lot, the most likely punishment is a retribution mission. IF you are handed an assassination mission and your mark escapes or is killed before you get there you either get the mission again or are assigned to take out those that stole the kill. Most find this custom of handing out retribution mission at no pay a weird punishment but it's not its a reward you really don't want to know what happens to those that fail a retribution mission." After those last words the man fell silent and finished eating. He then stood up and his men did the same "Lights out now me and my men are on wall duty and it is time for you lot to sleep it's up and early tomorrow and you will want the rest."
after that i guess i could come up with a short story mission (probably will) but i was wondering what everyone else thought of this little story line (names are optional but i like the ones i came up with lol)
