| For Mercenaries, Personal Reputation is especially important. While Mercenaries do not normally receive the same bonus rewards as Company members, those who build a strong reputation can earn additional benefits and recognition, proving that an individual can become just as influential as an organised group. | | For Mercenaries, Personal Reputation is especially important.

| A Company is '''more than a team'''. It is a group of characters united by a common purpose, story, culture, belief, goal, or ambition. Some Companies are military organisations, others are religious orders, trade guilds, criminal syndicates, explorer societies, or simply groups of like-minded adventurers. | | A Company is '''more than a team'''.

| After creating a character, players are free to decide whether they wish to join a Company or continue operating as an independent Mercenary. | | '''After creating a character, players are free to join any Company willing to accept them.''' |
| | |
| There is '''no requirement''' to join a Company, and many characters spend part or all of their career working independently before committing to a group.
| |
| | |
| ==== Join an Established Company ====
| |
| '''Established Companies''' already operate within Tanyth and have their own reputations, cultures, goals, and histories. | |

| Some Companies are large and influential, while others are small groups attempting to make a name for themselves.

| Mercenaries operate independently, taking contracts and building their own reputation without being tied to a larger organisation.
| |
| | |
| While Mercenaries miss out on some of the benefits available to Company members, they enjoy '''greater freedom and flexibility''' and may still become highly influential figures within Tanyth through their Personal Reputation alone.
| |
| | |
| === Form Your Own Company ===
| |
| For those who wish to carve their own path, it is possible to establish a new Company within Tanyth.
| |
| | |
| Creating a Company allows a group of players to build their own '''identity, traditions, goals, and reputation''' from the ground up.
| |
| | |
| ==== Requirements ====
| |
| To create a new Company:
| |
| | |
| * At least '''5 unique players''' must sign the Company Charter.
| |
| * The combined Personal Reputation of the founding members must total at least '''40 Reputation'''.
| |
| * The Company must secure sponsorship from a '''Benefactor'''.
| |
| | |
| Without a Benefactor, a Company '''cannot accept contracts''', '''earn Company Reputation''', or participate in the city's power structure.
| |
| | |
| ==== Company Application ====
| |
| New Companies must submit the following information:
| |
|
| |
|
| * '''Company Name'''
| | Many characters spend part or all of their career operating as independent Mercenaries, building their own reputation and pursuing their own goals. |
| * '''Motto''' - A short phrase that captures your Company's identity, values, or attitude.
| |
| * '''Focus / Playstyle''' - The type of missions, activities, or gameplay your Company intends to pursue.
| |
| * '''Background''' - A brief history of how the Company was formed and why it exists.
| |
| * '''Perceived or Ideal Reputation''' - How your Company wants to be viewed by allies, rivals, and the people of Tanyth.
| |
| * '''Company Culture''' - Your Company's internal values, leadership style, expectations, and approach to teamwork.
| |
| * '''Traditions''' - Any unique customs, symbols, uniforms, rituals, initiation rites, or practices that define your Company.
| |
| * '''Signed Company Charter''' - A list of the founding 5 unique players of the Company.
| |
| * '''Ideal Recruits''' - The types of characters or players who would be a good fit for your Company's goals and culture.
| |
|
| |
|
| Applications should be submitted to: [mailto:info@kongaskreations.com.au info@kongaskreations.com.au]
| | While Mercenaries miss out on some of the benefits available to Company members, they enjoy greater freedom and flexibility and may still become highly influential figures within Tanyth through their Personal Reputation alone. |
|
| |
|
| Once the application has been reviewed and the reputation requirements have been met, a Benefactor may choose to sponsor the Company. Only then will the Company be formally recognised within Tanyth.
