Guild Regulations

Guild Alignment

• There are four different guild alignments: Legal, Independent, Neutral, and Illegal (Dark).
  
  
• The alignment of the guild must be selected upon creation, however, it may shift over time depending on the deeds committed by its members. The canon groups (Fairy Tail, Blue Pegasus, and Rune Knights) cannot shift their alignment.
  

Legal Guild

• Legal guilds are approved and registered by the Magic Council. Therefore, they are considered Lawful in their alignment. They can only take Good and Neutral quests. Legal guilds can be summoned by the Kingdom to aid the country against foreign and domestic threats. In return, they have the support of Rune Knights. All Legal Guild are considered allied and may defend each other should they be raided.
  

Independent Guild

• Independent guilds are not approved by the Magic Council, but at the same time are not considered a criminal organization. They can do anything they please as long as the Magic Council doesn't disapprove of their actions. They can do Good, Bad, and Neutral quests by using their Guild Level 1 perk. Though, they must maintain a ratio of at least 75% overall fame among all their members. They must also ensure that the total bounty of their members does not exceed 5,000,000J. Independent Guilds may ally with up to two guilds in character excluding Dark Guilds and may defend each other should they be raided.
  

Neutral Guild

• Neutral guilds are also not approved by the Magic Council, however, they are close to being considered a criminal organization. They must live within a fine margin of society to avoid turning into a Dark Guild. They can do Good, Bad, and Neutral quests by using their Guild Level 1 perk. Though, they must maintain a ratio of at least 50% overall fame among all their members. They must also ensure that the total bounty of their members does not exceed 10,000,000J. Neutral Guilds may ally with one other guild in character excluding Dark Guilds and may defend each other should they be raided.
  

Dark Guild

• Illegal guilds, also known as Dark Guilds, are not approved by the Magic Council and are treated as criminal organizations. They can only take Bad and Neutral quests. They may earn additional jewels by performing evil deeds through Neutral quests and gain bounties along the way. Legal guilds and Rune Knights are incentivized to hunt them down.
  

Alignment Restrictions

• Should an Independent or Neutral guild exceed its fame or bounty restriction, it will turn into a Neutral or Dark guild.
  
  
• Guilds have 30 days to fix this issue.
  
  
• Guilds may only make use of this fixing period once per 6 months. Should it happen twice within 6 months, they will not be allowed to fix it again.

This is where you put the general description of your guild. It is the overarching idea that formed you guys; It is your goal; It is your credence. This is your chance to explain to anyone who knows nothing about you what your guild is about. Please include within your description what alignment you would classify your guild as; Legal, Unaffiliated, Neutral or Dark.

[list]
[*]This is where you place your regulations for your guild. These should be the rules and laws in which your members must govern by.

[*]Users may look at any of the guilds that currently exist, or other WIPs, in order to get an idea of what sort of regulations they would like to use.

[*]The Guild must also make mention whether they are a Legal, Independent, Neutral or Dark Guild here.

[*]These regulations can be relatively relaxed, or extreme. Remember it is up to the creator. If you'd like a strict guild with severe consequences, that is fine. However, keep in mind you must appeal to your member base.

[*]The regulations must be things your members are required to do or are expected to do. There can also be punishments for those who fail to meet the criteria.
