Who Are The Blackscars?
You're asking me who we are? Alright, I'll tell you a few things, It's a cold night and I've got some time to pass. Well what we are that completely depends upon who you are. To the local law enforcement we're simply a group of like minded individuals who like to congregate in this establishment, we're logistics experts, bodyguards, healers, merchants and crafters who work hard at many different aspects to make a coin, we're no different from any other diverse business. However... I can tell that's not why you're asking and you've heard the rumours which means you want to know the other side of us. We're the ones holding the missing letter, the only evidence of your crime, we're the hand reaching in to your coin purse, we're the knife sinking between your shoulders and we're the ones who hold the black soul shard holding your daughter's essence. We deal in information, blades, rituals, fear and control. We're the Blackscars and gold is our game. Now, I'm hoping you're either looking for work or are looking to purchase our services, we don't take kindly to the overly inquisitive kind.

About The Blackscar
The Blackscars are criminal organization that focus on gaining influence and, of course, gold. They have all sorts of business ventures such as selling skooma and black market products, hiring themselves out as body guards and soldiers, performing dark rituals, racketeering, stealing and providing information to customers. They try to get in on any and all potential lucrative investments. They often take work from customers and try to keep a large base of contacts, allies and associates. If you've got the gold or something else to offer for their services then you're in luck, they have a reputation of keeping to any contracts they accept, after all, who wants to hire those that will turn on them for a small fee more?
The RanksNewblood
Newbloods are the fresh meat and rookies of the Blackscars. They will be varying in skill they have yet to prove themselves and show their loyalty. Members at this rank are not trusted yet and must work hard to impress their superiors. Life as a new blood is tough as you're constantly trying to gain respect, trust and are often given the worst jobs.
Grunt
Grunts aren't much higher up in respect than the Newbloods, they're treated as Newbloods that haven't died yet and have stuck around a little while. They are still untrusted and are classed as expendable, it's still a fair bit more work to make it in to the inner circle.
Associate
Associates are still not a part of the Blackscar core and although they have gained some respect life is still a constant struggle. Blackscars of this rank might be given different and more challenging missions at this rank.Many are destined to never move beyond this rank and only those who show true dedication and stand out advance further.
Scarred
Scarred members have earned the Blackscar mark, something coveted by all members. Scarred stand above the common grunts and are tasked with more difficult missions and are sometimes required to lead the lower ranks or task them with jobs that aren't worth their time.
Veteran
Veterans are an essential part of the Blackscare core and have attained considerable prestige within the group. Their loyalty is unquestioned and they are highly trained in their chosen field. They are the elites that tower over other members and are often tasked with the most difficult missions and the leader ship of the lower ranks. They can recruit members and are in charge of keeping the rookies in line.
Talon
Talons are officers by every meaning of the word that at a lower tier than the Raver's. Talon's are selected from the veterans who seem most gifted at leading. Each of the division will have one Talon. They help run the Blackscars and work actively to find work and further the groups interests. They have complete command over all lower ranks and often lead groups. The Reaver directly above the Talon will often delegate orders and work towards them that they either have no time for or find beneath them.
Reaver
Reaver's are the true officers and leaders of the group. Each Reaver is tasked with leading a division most suited to their skills. They take orders only from the chief and are directly responsibly for the actions or their divisions. They control with an iron fist and are veterans within the group. They gained their position through skill and perseverance, each Reaver is a truly deadly foe to have against you and a powerful supporter to have on your side.
Chief
The chief of the Blackscars is the absolute leader and has ultimate say over any and all business conducted. He decides what fields of business the group ventures in to and what major contracts and business deals they accept. He delegates tasks and orders to the various divisions through the Reavers. The chief is cold and dedicated entirely to the group working tirelessly to maintain the Blackscars.[/color]
The TeamsThe Wolves
The wolves are the home to the most skilled and strongest of the Blackscars individuals. They're led by a truly fierce fighter by the name of Hakongr Bloodbane. They consist of ex guardsmen, brutes, arena challengers and any one who prefers their fists over their words. The wolves are heavily involved in the Ebonheart pact's war efforts and often join in the fighting. They are hired out as guards to paying customers, extra muscle to even up a fight and are the ones sent to make sure other parties pay their debts.
The Wraiths
The wraiths is the group dedicated to the hidden secrets and and information that lay just beyond sight and hearing. They're lead by a man who is neigh on indistinguishable from the shadows and who is said to have an ear in every room. He goes by the name of Evaan. The wraiths consist of thieves, assassins, con artists, tricksters and those with a silver tongue. The wraiths gather valuable information to be sold on, they scout out unknown regions, steal artifacts, sell black market goods and are the knives hired to slit a sleeping man's neck.
The Weavers
The weavers are where the mages and mystics who are tired of a life dictated by the law find themselves. They are lead by a woman who's mastery of the schools of magic is said to rival any master of the mages guild. Disgraced mage guild students, worshipers of the daedra, students of magic who's curiosity steps over the accepted boundaries and those gifted with magic with a love of coin find themselves within the weavers. They're called upon to harvest black soul stones, heal the wounded, curse unlucky individuals and turn the tides of a battle field with well times spells.
OOC InformationOur Goals
Out ultimate goal is to provide a mature and enjoyable community of good quality role-players who enjoy a crime theme or for those looking for a guild where they can role-play a character vested in the underworld whether you be a disgraced soldier or some one who's grown up in poverty and has had to live on what they can steal.. We want to establish a good relationship with the other guilds on our server and get some good cross guild role-play going, after all we're for hire. Contact us if you think you would benefit from our IC services
Our History
I personally started leading guilds in 2005 on Starwars Galaxies and lead a mandalorian themed Rp guild there for two years give or take. Eventually we moved on to World of Warcraft and started up a Horde military themed rp guild there. We had a successful run and participated in plenty of Rp as well as venturing in to Pvp and Pve. Ultimately the guild ceased to run with the release of The old republic. We played the game for a year before deciding we didn't really enjoy the game and were there just for role-play. We went on hiatus for a year then before giving the old republic another go and restarted our mandalorian mercenary guild. With the release of The Elder Scrolls Online we decided to jump game and start over in a new setting and, hopefully, a more enjoyable game.
Joining The Blackscar
We currently accept members of any race and class so long as you will be a part of the Ebonheart Pact. If you wish to join you should get in touch via Enjin messages, fill in an application on our Enjin page or add me on skype. My skype is Frosty252. If you are accepted in to the guild you will need to role play out your interview either in game once TESO hits or through skype instant messages. The reason for this is as followed:
• One is to actually role-play you being recruited and then initiated in to the Blackscars.
• The next is to make sure you can actually role-play at the level we're after. (You don’t need to be an elite role player, however, you must show a general knowledge of role-play and have a believable character).
• The last reason is to make sure your character does actually suit this kind of guild, due to being a crime themed guild; your character must be able to pass in such a theme, taking orders and being willing to commit crimes.[/color]
Contacts, Allies and Rivals
We are currently searching for all of the above. We'd love plenty of allies IC, people we work with closely in our business. As well as that we'd like plenty of contacts whether that be us supplying them with information, being payed for our other services or supplying goods and the likes. Lastly a few rivals would be great, not people we have an OOC rivalry with but a group or two that we're on good OOC terms with but clash IC. Whether this be some kind of law enforcement or a rival crime group, there's plenty of opportunities.
Closing Statement
We're all really looking forward to being an active and contributing part of the RP community and look forward to hearing from you, getting some feedback and hopefully some new members, allies, rivals, contacts or even a few people interested in just some casual rp in game with us. If you'd like to know more about us, discuss how you or your group could interact with us or just want to chat with a fellow rper please get in touch!
