News travel fast like a wildfire in Booty Bay, especially if the company in question is rumored to have somewhat amoral standards. The new company made Booty Bay it's most visited location so it was only matter of time until the recruiting started. Word was sent around about new people needed for the ship. Anyone with the strength to swing around a sword was agreed to be taken as a guard on the ship, anyone with some knowledge about how to maintain a ship was also being recruited to work as a deckhand. It was strange, the company has been recruiting people so often yet they always seem to need more. What happens to everyone who gets recruited. Most shrug off the questions and move up to the recruitment line anyway. As long as gold is involved many tend to heed little attention to the fine print.
What is the Blacklight Company?
The Blacklight "Trade" Company is an organization working the seas, escorting cargo from all the wet backwaters of Azeroth to where the client wants them. No questions are asked as the cargo is loaded onto the ship and only a single question when it is unloaded: "Where is the pay." But under the innocent looking fasad of a trade company there beats a black stonecold hearth. Most of the crew along with the higher-ups have some dark secrets to hide as they keep up the innocent act. They might give you a nod and a smile as long as they look you in the eye but turning your back to someone might end up with you having a few more holes in your skull to breath trough.
Who are expected into the guild?
Everyone is accepted as long as the person can pull their own weight on the ship. All races are tolerated by the prominent figures of the organization but some heat between the crew is bound to happen if some crew members are not as tolerant as the rest. Class wise there is also nothing holding the possible recruits back as skilled fighters or hard working deckhands are always needed especially when the ship might be attacked during the treks at sea.
What events are in order?
The most common events are the ones of the ship being attacked by pirates, the occasional Warlock raids (You will find out why IC'ly) or The Law coming to collect the bounty of some of the crew. Mutinies are also to be expected as the crew might not always s see eye to eye all the time. The events are going to be plentiful most of the time as cargo needs to be delivered. (New) There is also a lot of infighting bound to happen since the crew has been mostly been split between the Traitors and the Loyalists. Due to Nitram offering to help almost anyone there might also be some events where the Blacklight collaborates with other guilds. Nitram also takes the crew along on his quests for items of possible power so some classical adventuring is also planed.
How can one join this guild or find out about it IC'ly?
There are many wanted adds posted around Booty Bay along with the rumors spread around different town where the Blacklight Crew have been to. There is also the chance of the Crew actively looking for more people to recruit themselves. Contacting Freni or Nitram ingame is the easiest way to set up a recruiting if people wish.
What about the Ranks?
The current ranking of the guild is as follows:
The Captain- The hardy leader of the ship, commanding the troops and taking shipment orders from clients. She is the person you must stay on the good side on at all times as the Captain is known to be easy to anger.
The First Mate- The second in command. The right-hand man of the Captain and as such often as hard handed as his superior. Always taking control of the ship whenever the Captain is not present and as quick to deal out punishment as the Captain.
The Navigator- This person is the reason the ship is yet to meet a horrible end on top of a jagged rock. Reading charts and maps while working out the safest, shortest and quickest rout to the destination. The unofficial sub-commander of the Deckhands.
Traitors Crew-The people who follow Nitram. They do different missions every now and then if Nitram orders it and work on the ship alongside the Loyalists. (New)
The Loyalists-The people who have stayed loyal to Freni and work to keep the ship free of the Traitors crew. (New)
The Guards- The "cannon fodder" of the group. These strong and skilled warriors, rouges or whatever are the thick meat that keeps the crew in line and any threat away from the ship.
The Deckhands- Born on the ship, live on the ship and trained by the rough waters of the world. The people who keep the ship crewed for trips across the globe and ready for battle if someone would be dumb enough to challenge the might of the HMS Oceanblade.
So, um, Why would I want to join this organization?
For money and roleplaying.
