The Thieves

[MacThorstenson he/him]

This is a guild of thieves, like the title implies. We heist stuff, pickpocket people, con them, whatever. We are an all purpose thieves guild, stealing from those who have, and giving to each other. 

This guild is different than the other guilds in a few ways.

 

The first, is that your character needs to have low investiture levels and shouldn't be all that powerful (In this context investiture also applies to anything remotely magical). Their primary skills should lie less with investiture and more in other areas.

The second is kind of in conjunction with the first, but you need to make a new character for this guild. If you yourself have a problem with us heisting a specific guild, you can choose not to participate, but please don't actively oppose us.

Another way this guild will be different, is that all of the members won't be involved at the same time. The way I envision it working will be, one guy comes up with a job, posts it in the thread, then anyone who wants in will signal in the thread, and they will be added to a PM where the actual planning of a heist will take place. I hope that this will minimize people dropping out mid heist due to IRL stuff and forcing us to change plans.

As for the characters, I hope that we can have a variety of characters to sign up. Ideally we wouldn't have a bunch of con men sign up, because then we could only con people. Or if we have a lot of pickpockets, then we won't be able to break into places or pick locks.

[I think I am here. he/him]

I’m in.

You can see the character I’m using for this in the Chracters thread, Alask Ao. He hasn’t really got much Investiture, except for maybe having a Shade Spiked to his soul, though that’s more of a weakness. It doesn’t really make him any more powerful.

Amateurly skilled in lockpicking and proficient in safe-cracking. Talented at improvising things on the spot. Not the best at combat, doesn’t carry weapons.

Ok. I'll start the PM.

btw, I forgot to mention this in the OP, but the current layout of the base is a Bar with a back room that we plan in. As we get more money i will expand it.

 

Inside of the bar, a notice appears it reads:

I’m in. I don’t think that this guy is overpowered. I haven’t made him official yet.

Zack Rickers

Power: Epic. He heals at twice the rate of a normal human, can jump six times normal human height, is 20% stronger than the average human, and has the dexterity of a very good contortionist. The healing factor also makes him age at half normal rate.

Skills: He can pick locks, is a fairly good fighter, is good at staying hidden, and pickpocket unobservent people.

Apearence: He is 6’2, of average build and has very short hair. He wears a black Kevlar jacket that molds his chest. It is arranged so that when he moves it doesn’t rustle and leather pants that are arranged the same way.

Age: 23

Weakness: He has very bad social skills, and usually ends up picking fights with complete strangers. He is also prone to bar fights.

Personality: He is breif and very quiet. He is mildly confrontational and hates most of the rest of the universe.

History: Absolutely nothing is known about him.

[+Ark1002]

I'm in! I'll add this to the characters thread with a backstory when I get the chance.

She has long black hair, deep tan skin, and is of average build.

[MacThorstenson he/him]

Good, I'll add you.

[BitBitio he/him]

Name: Goree Smedry

Alias: Plan B, The Contingency

Investiture: His talent is this: He is extremely bad at spelling.

I can see this being useful for decoding messages. His bosses ask him to scribe and he ends up deciphering a code. He's so bad at spelling.

Appearance: A tuxedo (duh) and a rutabaga hat.

Age: 25 Earth years

You can definitely be in the guild, but we have too full of a team for the current heist. I already had to cut a few guys. If you want to talk to the other guys in guild, I'll let you into the PM and y'all can plan a second heist.
