=Motto's=

"HONOUR - VALOR - FIDELITY" - Motto & War Cry of the Theramore Task Force

=What do we do?=

The full name of our organisation is the "Theramore Task Force" and we are a battalion of Theramore Marines serving under the command of Lady Jaina Proudmoore. Our primary position is that of being a special forces regiment to Theramore. Our secondary is to foreignly represent Lady Jaina Proudmoore and our proud homeland, and to act as Ambassadors whereever we travel. We undergo a lot of militaristic and political based RP combined.

Below is a list of RolePlay activities we undergo:


 * Military Based Events

- Military Patrols: The Task Force occasionally conducts military patrols of the Dustwallow Marsh, and the Barrens, keeping tight security over Theramore territory.

- Military Excursions/Expeditions: When need be, the Task Force will indulge in planning large scale military or other variations of expeditions into places they've never been before. These events are usually planned and conducted over a series of days or weeks.

- Military Training: Weekly trainings are often hosted when no other events are taking palce. We do not only practice and train members on their emoting and RolePlay skills, but we also indulge ourselves with modern military training procedures. These being hiking trips, endurance tests, and members will often be thrown into many different controlled exercises to which they must use their initiative to overcome their obstacles.

- Law Enforcement & Interrogation: Despite not primarily being a Law-Enforcement group, the Task Force will IF NEED BE, patrol the streets of Theramore or Stormwind, arresting necessary criminals and conducting military interrogation of our captured enemies.


 * Political & Off-Duty Based Events

- Political Representation: On behalf of Theramore, the Task Force attends Alliance Council meetings and delegations to discuss local and foreign relations involving the Alliance as a whole.

- Off-Duty RolePlay: When Marines switch to going Off-Duty, they must change into their own clothing, without any hint of Theramore uniform. Off-Duty Marines often socialise amongst one another, or with members of other guilds and friends, and are entitled to do whatever based RolePlay they wish as long as it doesnt conflict with any of the Task Force ruling.



=History=

The T.T.F was formed not long after Theramore was founded, working within the city as Jaina's secret police. They were also responsible for assisting Thrall & Rexxar in defeating Daelin Proudmoore and regaining control of the city, handing it back to their ruler.

Several years onward, Jaina appointed Kaijan Vaylor, an experienced tactician and loyal soldier as the new Major to the Force, who begun work immediatly on setting up relations with the Eastern Kingdoms again. The Task Force now acts as Theramores special forces regiment, and public relations Ambassadors. They are involved with numerous military operations internally and externally from Theramore. They also represent themselves and Theramore within the Alliance Government.

The number of Marines currently serving the Task Force, lore wise is: 200-250 soldiers.

=Theramore Isle=

Theramore Isle is not only the Alliance's heavily fortified stronghold in Kalimdor and capital of the Dustwallow Marsh with a population of 9,500 people, but also the official home of the new Alliance in Kalimdor. It was built primarily as a military fortress, but has grown somewhat to serve as a trading port.



The Task Force uses the city not only as its home, but also as a military base. It provides sufficient resources and excellent facilities for any soldier to use. It comes equipped with a Docking Area for Trade Ships to off-load supplies, A Garrison to hold and shelter all of its troops, A Blacksmith to help boost weapon and armour stocks, A Lumber Yard to supply the city with Construction Materials, A Mage Tower which houses Jaina Proudmoore and a wide range of training grounds.

The Bleeding Sparrow is also Docked in Theramore, which is used as the Task Force's War and Transport Frigate, taking them too and fro various encloves and port cities.



The Marsh surrounding Theramore is full of waste and danger. Many spies and carniverous creatures lurk around and wait for a time to strike down any civilian or soldier leaving the city. It is advised that anybody venturing outside of the city alone should fully equip themselves.

=Can I join the Force?=

The Task Force only recruits Humans, Dwarves and Gnomes that are of level 20 or above. To join we ask that you set up an In-Character interview with Careers Officer: Matafleur Dannan. You may also apply by signing up to the forums and leaving an In-Character enlistment form.

However, before joining, it is obliged that you read the Code of Conduct and background information about the Task Force. This is so you have a general idea of what our guild is about and what type of WoW Lore we follow.

Forums: http://theramoretaskforce.prophpbb.com/

Information Upon Joining

If your interview is accepted, and you're enlisted into the Task Force, you'll recieve the trial rank of "Recruit". Your service and duty as a Recruit will require you to accompany higher ranked Marines on their personal duties for the Force, and to show off your RP skills, grammar, maturity and contribution. All of these will help you progress further during your trial period, and put a positive impression on the officers. If you're proven worthy of full membership, you'll be formally promoted during the Promotion Ceremony at weekend Inspection.

Your time as a Recruit will not be easy however. Due to us resembling real life Marines In-Character, you'll be expected to take harsh punishment. Being a strict military regiment you must be prepared to recieve harsh orders, intense punishment and abusive behavior by the Officers. This is not however, a way to bully our newer members, nor is it to embarrass them. It is a way for us to see if you're worthy of full membership into the Force, and that you fit in nicely with us in general. As a member of the Task Force you will have to obey the Code of Conduct, which may result in you giving up certain RP you enjoy, e.g: Drinking, Partying and Relationships. This is to maintain a level of maturity and strict organisation within the guild, making ourselves look as presentable as possible, and to make our members feel proud to be in the guild. Along with many other guilds, we take our members seriously, and value those who fit in with the rest of the members and fully settle within our "team", meaning all of our members get along well without squabble or argument, and are very close-knit.

Every week, Lieutenant. Matafleur Dannan will host "Enrolment Drills", which are in short terms, Recruitment Trials. All Recruits must undergo several tests of endurance, RP skills and leadership. Once completing these Drills, you will be promoted into a division matching your class, and will be announced as a full member of the guild.

Please take this information into account before applying to join the Force. In response to the harsh resemblance of real-life military, we offer a great range of internal and public RolePlay with a great number of funfilled people who hold a mature personality. We also offer a lot of respect, lore discussion and weekly RP events. Please check our forums for more information and updates regarding the guild.

Information Regarding Death Knights

The Task Force, on Lady Jaina Proudmoores permittance, has now opened doors to Death Knights, however it comes at cost. Death Knights who join will engage in harsh criticism with the other members, this due to their past. They must prepare themsevles to take harsh abuse about being what they are, and must attempt to plow through. Death Knights will be given standard uniform, and will be at the same rank as Marines, and will be treated the same as Marines, therefor they will not be anything special. Below are a list of rules and regulations which the Death Knights must obide by to stay within the guild:

1) We will accept Death Knights if we see that their backstory and lore fits in nicely with our RP. Meaning that former Marines or Theramore soldiers (or something similar) are to only be accepted.

2) If they do join, they're accepted as normal members, wearing the same uniform regulations minus the shield, and are to be treated as any other Marine.

3) They're restricted on what magic or powers they can use. Meaning Unholy Death Knights cant use anything to bring back fallen comrades. We will however accept Frost and Blood rune magic.

4) They'll be asked to share any information they know regarding the Lich King, working with guild officers to overcome Scourge activity.

 * Chapter 1 - Uniform
 * Chapter 2 - Reputation + Maturity
 * Chapter 3 - Ranking System
 * Chapter 4 - Commissioned Officers and their Duties
 * Chapter 5 - Non-Commandant Members and their Duties



Chapter 1: Uniform

Uniform is key within the Task Force. It is used to represent our proud nation of Theramore and to fully distinguish us as a mature, and well organised guild. We uphold our uniform regulations very strictly, and we expect that all of our members wear it without faulter, and feel proud to be a part of such an organisation. Below is a list of strict, basic rules to be obided by.

1 - Uniform must be worn at ALL times during On-Duty RP.

2 - Uniform is to be presented as we say, anybody changing the uniform to suit themselves will be punished.

3 - Civilian clothes must be worn during Off-Duty RP. (Tabard must be removed)

4 - Anybody abusing the uniform rule will be demoted, and eventually kicked if continously showing misconduct.

Chapter 2: Reputation & Maturity

To be a member of the Force you must have a certain level of maturity and make sure you can handle IC + OOC problems accordingly. Being immature, E.G: jumping around, l33t speak, swearing unecessarily, power/godemoting will be an instant kick from the guild, as we will not jeopodise our reputation. The rules on reputation are set down below:

1 - All members of the T.T.F must make sure no other members act against RPing rules and must make sure that they use the Guild Chat to inform the officers.

2 - If anybody shows bad conduct of RolePlay, again showing poweremotes, l33t speak etc, they will be Warned and eventually removed. (Guild Chat is OOC and is acceptable)

3- We also don't want our characters to drink or get drunk and run around jumping up and down all the time, especially while on duty, this will result in a guild kicking.

4 - Adressing members of higher ranks by "Sir", "Ma'm" or their rank, e.g "Captain" is controlled by the acting commander who is online. Some members may be more flexible and not asked to be called by these titles and others may be strict on it, if a member goes against this rule when applied they will be warned.

Chapter 3: The Theramore Task Force Ranking System

Below is the T.T.F's ranking system based around the Theramore rankings. (Highest Top, Lowest Bottom)


 * Major

Chapter 4: Comissioned Officers and their Duties

The Force picks and declares its officers based upon the following attributes.

- Leadership - Organisation - Loyalty - Respectable RP

Starting as a Recruit for the Force you must work your way up before applying yourself hard and work well to impress the other Officers. Each member will be tested on the 4 attributes above before being made an officer.

The Highest Rank of Force is the "Major". He/She will organise internal and outside relations of the Force and will command IC + OOC, taking up the stress of planning events, recruiting and all other jobs.

The Second Highest Rank to gain is that of "Captain". These are the Major's advisors and strive to enforce disapline throughout the Force. They also take up the heavy roles of planning events and recruiting and spreading the word of the Force.

"Lieutenants" make up the bulk of the officers in the guild. They help plan events, keep the discipline and aid the leaders in creating RP events and enforcing the rules.

Chapter 5: The Non-Commandant Members and their Duties

The Non-Commandant ranks of the Force make up of the "1st and 2nd Class Marines/Spellguards". The Marines/Spellguards make up the majoritory of the amount of members in the Force, as they're the main soldiers or "grunts". To be promoted from this rank you must prove yourself as officer material by helping out with hard tasks, showing your interest, loyalty and skills. Some, if necessary might recieve special individual orders to undergo, this will usualy be set by the Major to consider an officer promotion.

The "Quartermaster" is the member who acts as a guild wardrobe and bank. He/She will keep sets of the uniform stored with him and within his bank account. If any members need some parts of the uniform, please contact him.

The "Recruit" is the lowest member rank to have in the Force. The Reruit will be handed a uniform and usualy partnered with 2-3 Marines to work with throughout their trial period. During the weekends Recruits will be tested on whether they meet the RP requirements of the Force and if they pass, will be promoted to full members.

"Isolation" is a punishment rank, to where members will be demoted to whilst their offence is under review by the officers. They arnt permitted to talk on guild chat, and arnt permitted to view the guild chat. Punishment times and length will be determined by the officers online.
