apaliics Posted February 7, 2020 Share Posted February 7, 2020 (edited) "Peace and Security through Strength and Order." - Legatus Jack Mason "Fear is proof of a degenerate mind." - Publius Vergilius Maro "Every new beginning comes from some other beginning’s end." - Marcus Annaeus Seneca "Some might say Rome has fallen, I say "Rome Eternal" to that" - Tech Kapkush The locals of Chernauras recall a great storm during the winter of 2020. Blackest of skies and the harshest of winds. As the story goes, the frost was so cold that to even step foot outside was to invite death himself to your doorstep. That the cold could snuff out your fire in an instant, and birds froze solid in their nests. Even the dead ones were deadlier than ever before, skin hardened from the cold gave them iron like armor and strengthened their blows. They say the so called Praetorians angered the gods in their imposing citadel. That on this particular night, a great storm swooped down from the heavens and swallowed the building whole in a winter maelstrom. Only when the gods had drank their fill of blood from the Roman's bones did the storm lift, leaving carnage in its wake. Others speak of the war with the 5.0.3; they recall the bodies piled upon carts. They smirk at memories of screams of agony as legionnaires choked on their own blood, gasping for ragged breaths, lying in the fields of red and smoldering ash charred fortifications. Men eviscerated, organs spewed aloft, left in their own piles of shit to rot with the dead ones for having taken a stand against the 5.0.3. Well I say those stories are bullshit. And the truth, well the truth is best told by those who were there. During the winter of 2020 the Praetorian Guard witnessed a rebellion from within. Members of the third cohort mutinied, spitting on their oaths to Rome and the Legatus both. The citadel didn't fall to the wrath of the gods or the onslaught of bandits. It fell victim to the cowardice of man, espionage, and betrayal. Emboldened and attracted to dark tar twisting inside their souls. These cravens coveted the blood of the innocent and fed upon their fear. In the dark of night once again in the absence of their legate, the treacherous cohort struck a deal, and opened the gates to the enemy; stripping themselves of any remaining honor. While the traitors bodies were crucified within a fortnight, the damage was great. The enemies of Rome poured through the gates razing the deserted stronghold to the ground. For a second time, the Legatus crested a hill to meet his nightmare in reality. The flames leaped into the sky engulfing his home whole once again. Instead of the wrath he had felt so passionately before, he felt only sorrow. Deep guilt wracked the legate and nearly destroyed the man where he stood. With one breath he ordered the decimation of the Iron Legion. In ancient Rome decimation was a form of military discipline in which every tenth man in a group was executed by members of his cohort. Used by senior commanders in the Roman Army to punish units or large groups guilty of capital offences, such as cowardice, mutiny, desertion, and insubordination, and for pacification of rebellious legions. True to the command of their commander and the will of Rome, every tenth legionnaire perished by their brothers blade. Those who had betrayed the guard were subsequently hunted down like the rabid dogs they were, and quickly found themselves decorating crosses with their own blood. Without a place to call home, the Praetorians quickly subsided into hiding. In the wake of the war with the 5.0.3 and without a unified front to appose them, the conflict appeared bleak. Shaken by the events the Legatus, Jack Mason, gave a final order. The Exodus. Rome could not prosper here in this hell. Rome could not suffer here in the hell. As soon as the snows melted, the legion was to march north through the mountains, and then west, beyond the horizon until they reached their new home. But they would do so under the command of a new Legatus. The burden of command thusly was passed onto another, and a new chapter turned for the legend of Rome. Evening dew clung to the blades of grass on the ground after an afternoon shower. A red sunset dissolved into an ocean of oranges in a now cloudless sky. As his men anxiously climbed yet another hill a sense of anticipation hung in the air. Each man stopped as they reached the top and stood breathlessly out towards the distant horizon. Legatus Tech Kapkush joined his men on the hillcrest wiping the sweat from his brow. As he took his final step he was blinded by the new light meeting his eyes. Adjusting to this new sensation he felt his boot meet with metal and dirt. He reached down and picked up an old battered road sign partially smothered in dirt. Outstretching his hand he shielded his eyes from the sun and gazed upon the landscape. He knew he had found their new home. Before him stretched rolling farmland and lusciously wooded streams; as he soaked in every detail of the terrain ahead of him his eyes fixated on the sign in his hand... The Praetorian Guard was started with a bunch of survivors that had a similar goal in mind. The goal of having a better way of life then what we have now. The Praetorian Guard grew fast, it had a community of people to protect plus a bunch of well trained men on the roster. As time went on the group started drifting from what it once was. Tech was there from the start he saw the good and the bad. Many friends were walking away from the group, some even became the enemy. Tech found himself with a broken group that couldn't be rebuilt to what it once was. Jack Mason had left the group and it made Tech feel like he was abandoned. Since the Praetorian Guard was no longer living up to its name, Tech deiced to let the group rest with the reputation and honor it had left. The Guard was then birthed into life. The Guard was formed by Tech and the last surviving members of the Praetorian Guard. The Guard is a military organization that gives a helping hand to communities and fights off the hostile/bandit groups if need be. Instead of trying to build a community of our own, The Guard wants to help the communities that are already established stay established and help anybody willing to start one up. The Guard knows how hard it is trying to build something and make it last, so we are here to help. The Guard will be a private military organization that operates in a tactical manor, providing security, supplies, and a trained task force for any given mission. The Guard will be rebuilding its structure but staying true to the Praetorian Guard ways. (IC GOALS) 1. Establish a B.O.O (Base of Operations) (Day 948) 2. Establish connections with other communities. (Day 955) 3. Help communities with security, building, supplies, ect. (Ongoing) 4. Recruit new members to bolster our ranks. (Day 950) 5. Strike fear into our enemies who have wrong us in our past. (Ongoing) 6. Construct a forceful private military contracting service. (Day 958) 7. Help other communities against bandit groups. (Ongoing) 8. Have a solid operating task force. (Day 990) (OOC GOALS) 1. Help keep established communities alive and striving 2. Create a different roleplay environment for remaining members of Praetorian Guard 3. Create a good mix of hostile and campfire roleplaying LEGATUS - Tech Kapkush @apaliics CAMP PREFECT - Brian "Ace" Peterson @TearsFallSilent MILITARY ADVISER - Mason Germaine @MidnightShadow CENTURION - Jay Thompson @Acfalle OPTIO - Ruslan Maksim @Vasily Zaitsev EVOCATUS - Wolfgang Fox @Wolfgang Fox LEGIONARY - Mark Fields @Simon Grugnug LEGIONARY - Leo Thron @Leonatos LEGIONARY - Arthur Drake @BucketsFPS LEGIONARY - Brian McCoy @McCoy III LEGIONARY - James Sephen @MrSpetzer ----------------------MEMORIAL-------------------- 《PEACE TO THE FALLEN》 Joseph Bloch William Bradford Pontifex: Father Anthony Delgado @Dyhadration Edited February 7, 2020 by apaliics lining things up 1 Link to comment

Gregor Posted February 7, 2020 Share Posted February 7, 2020 (edited) It's interesting to see the group being reformed in a new way. Interesting roster from the previous Guard. I am concerned about the requirements as mentioned to you on discord but hopefully that is sorted. Some of the lore isn't accurate as some of the things didn't happen how it says straight up not even a matter of opinion . Not sure if this was done on purpose for effect or not. The graphics are really nice! Like way better then the old groups. Nice and clean, big +1 on them. One thing that is really cool is how big of a past this group has had, it does have alot of lore that I think you've missed an opportunity to use in your lore posted here. You've posted about winter and mentioned a war... When there are way more interesting things you could say about the groups past due to how much has happened previously. I wil give you guys some advice from the last group I witnessed don't grow to quick as I think when the numbers got too much it just collapsed sadly so take your time and things will turn out good. There isn't a section regarding recruitment, possibly add that? Even if its just small. It's not clear if you guys are Chernarus or Livonia mainly might be worth including for new people. I know my group and others need to update this. Everything is looking pretty good overall apart from not fully meeting the requirements of a new group but once that is sorted you guys should do well, best of luck!

I have been chatting with staff about the requirements your talking about so we will get them sorted out! At the end of the backstory it hints that we are going to Livonia but ill make it more clear. A recruitment section would be a good idea as well. What are some big lore misses you think we could add? Link to comment
MVP Ron Posted February 7, 2020 MVP Share Posted February 7, 2020 (edited) You still have your approved group thread up - how does it work to put up another group idea like this? I doubt that staff will allow you to do this. Edit: I like the idea of a reforming process - then again the name could be a bit more creative , looking at the old / stíll active group, my 2 cents.

Sapphire Pepsi Posted February 7, 2020 Sapphire Share Posted February 7, 2020 They might have requested a group takedown, this usually takes a week to archive according to @Hofer, so they posted early and might get the pass after its locked. Me thinks. Link to comment

We are archiving PG we are chatting with staff,about these issues. I understand the name might not be creative but it goes with our lore and makes the most sense1 2 minutes ago, Ron said: Nope, that is not correct. Better speak to staff @apaliics we are i was given ownership of the guard for a couple of days until we found out we cant rework the group like we wanted to do and the ownership never went thru to me yet so downhill is still leader. I realize that i have to be without a group so i have left the group i just posted early so my bad on that. Link to comment
Guest Posted February 7, 2020 Share Posted February 7, 2020 Good luck to this group! For me, it was fun meeting you in game. I still owe your group a present (and I hope that all these technical details about groups and times will not affect your approval). Link to comment
