But then that leaves out the brother of Orin, Ceser (go figure he actually is my brother) who is the one who bails him out with the end of his spear facing the enemy. Anywho thanks again!
We actually have a couple of ways that Ceser can be involved -- he needn't be left out!
First, we have Fellows, who are members of the Tower who don't pursue magic but enable those who do. They're messengers, bodyguards, warriors, and crafters, and they're considered full Wizards of Mysterium despite not being mages -- they swear to the Code of the Magi, have a Sigil, and can participate in meetings and rituals. Fellows exist for just the sort of situation you describe. If you're familiar with Ars Magica, Fellows are similar conceptually to House Mercere. Second, we have Dear Friends, who are close friends and allies of the Tower but don't swear to the Code of the Magi and aren't Wizards. They can join our LS and participate in meetings and rituals at the discretion of the Voice and the Grandmasters. Usually this title is reserved for allies who are independent or sworn to another FC, but it could be employed here, too.
In terms of how the group works, we do a fair bit of world RP (at the end of P4, three of us were RPing in Gridania's Adventurers' Guild and getting others involved) and our PvE is nominally IC. This is because we're a heavy RP guild -- being IC as much as possible is important to us. I like to think we're adherent to lore, open to others (especially in world RP), and community-oriented, what with our burgeoning alliance with XI:7 and Blades of Nald'thal. The one thing you mention that we don't really do is RP-PvP. While there's certainly nothing preventing people from doing it IC or OOC, it's not really relevant to our concept, and at least I and the officers aren't big fans of PvP (conflict RP is another matter; I'm speaking of PvP game systems only here).
Anyway, if you have any questions about Mysterium or want to run a concept by to see if it'd work, feel free to drop me a PM!
