[Headcanon] 
Ishgard has long fought the Dragonsong War, pitting those who fight for the Holy See against the hordes of Dravanians. It stands to reason that those who serve their terms in the military might seek another form of more lucrative fighting service afterwards.  Perhaps, the best of these would seek service in a unit well known for their competency, their personal honor and the fact that they never, ever have abandoned or broken a contract. 

House Valron founded this company of soldiers, and eons ago - in the faintest of memories, the company saved a group of House Fortemps Knights and some minor members of the family. This served to both elevate the elder Valron from the gentry to the nobility, and to cement the reputation of the Company in Ishgard.
[End Headcanon]

[Introduction]
Enter, <Halone's Spear>, a highly-reputed and expert group of mercenaries who style themselves as a private army, rather than mercenaries. They prefer the term "contractor", to mercenary. If you have a problem, if no one else can help - and if you can afford them, maybe you can hire the Spear.

[Example Jobs and References]
Arm and train a resistance cell of Ala Mhigans
Raze and eliminate a village of Ixali 
Rescue a force of House Fortemps Knights from heretics in Coerthas
Escort High-Value Caravan of precious metals and jewels from Gridania to Ul'dah

[Hiring Process]
The Spear will hire those who can prove themselves to be fighters or healers worthy of the unit. Feel free to apply.

[Contact] 
Please contact me OOCly to hire us. We need work. We want work! ))

Purely OOC post:

Are you looking for some well-trained ex-soldiers to come escort you? Hang out at your bar? Be a bodyguard during an event?

Please, please, please contact me. I would love to bring my company to yours, to meet with others and to roleplay an actual mercenary CONTRACT.

I find that no one does that. I can rarely find mercenaries who are actually bound by service to another!

I need to catch you online, because my character might be able to use a guard or two.  Altho that may not be what you're looking for.  Smile

On the shores of Babylon
Still looking for a home
In a world where I belong

Where the weak are finally strong
Where the righteous right the wrongs
Still looking for a home
In a world where I belong

It depends how much she's willing to pay. She likely will be able to get one or two of the Spear by her side, but they're... very, very expensive. 

They're also very good. Like, the best. Only the highest tier of fighters will be able to beat them in even a 2 on 1 situation.

I'm online right now!

That part's kinda iffy if you're dealing with other player characters, which is what I'd assume you're talking about with guard duty.



More on-topic, I like the PMC-ish kind of approach rather than the ragtag bunch of misfits angle that I see most mercenary groups take.

roleplay?

While I -do- see your point about character strength, the second part of your statement also helps to answer it. That said, I cannot, and will not tell anyone to recognize any specific strength in RP. I do, however, put it in there as a statement of experience, training and quality. Most fighters aren't... quite equipped to handle this level of combatant.

The people who are part of the Spear are military veterans, with professional training and years of experience. They're also trained in small unit tactics - as I said, people can choose to acknowledge our strength or not ICly! I'm not gonna tell you how to RP, merely wish that we should be treated this way.

"Imagine a modern day PMC merged with the reputation of the Golden Company from Game of Thrones." is how I like to envision this group. Ex Army Rangers, ex tier 1 Special Forces operators, etc. They come because they get paid the best for their considerable skill-set.

I'm sure my dragoon and her cohorts can find a use for a group of competent regulars!

You know exactly where to reach me. Right now, there are 4 (or 5 Idr) players involved.

We are still looking for IC mercenary work. Want a bodyguard or two? Want someone killed? Got a caravan being moved?

Hit up Anthony Valron or Addison Hines ingame! We'll figure it all out. ))

Hey Anthony! I've recently been in the lab brewing up a multi-event story arc for our group of Dragoons which I am hoping to get started soon. ICly they would be all for hiring on a few extra spears/hands to help out with getting this stuff done, I will hit you up IG today and fill you in.
