Charter
As one may or may not know, Genesis was the first book of the Holy Bible. Its name symbolizes the beginning of something great, in this case, an EverQuest II Guild. Our main goal is to become the strongest, fastest, and most feared Battalion in our universe (server), while still maintaining a Roleplay-friendly environment. Genesis will become a guild for both hardcore and casual players to reside in harmony, and establish long lasting and friendly relations for years to come.
The Arch and the Four Pillars:
Genesis is guided and governed by an ideolgy that is embodied in the following symbols and concepts.
The Arch:
The Arch is a symbol of skillful artisanship, aesthetic beauty, and overwhelming strength. When properly positioned against an obstacle or opponent, the power of the Arch cannot be defeated. The Arch represents the distillation of our members abilities, focused by the will of our leadership. The Arch is the collective and expressed power of our entire guild.
The Four Pillars:
The concept of the Arch rest upon the axioms of the Four Pillars. Without the support of the Four Pillars, the power of the Arch cannot be properly focused nor maintained.
The First Pillar Dedication:
All members of Genesis must be dedicated to assisting individual members and the guild as a whole. This dedication is realized by focusing on what is better for the collective rather than just the individual. The fruits of dedication can be found in physical improvement (the acquisition of items of power) and spiritual growth (helping one another and fostering enjoyable relationships).
The Second Pillar Proficiency:
All members of Genesis are not expected to be merely competent they are expected to be among the finest examples of their class. The grit and mortar of this pillar is constructed by the continual quest of our members to experience, learn, reflect, implement and adapt. Every member represents a segment of the pillar with each segment being key to the stability of the whole.
The Third Pillar Respect:
All members of Genesis will afford respect to one another. It is not expected that every member of our guild get along with every other member, all of the time. However it is expected that our members appreciate the concept of basic, human civility and will exercise it when situations demand it. This principal also extends to dealings with persons not in our guild.
The leadership must respect the needs and desires of the membership and will endeavour to satisfy those demands. The membership must respect the machinations and goals of the leadership and will seek to assist the leadership in achieving the guilds objectives.
The Fourth Pillar Enjoyment:
It is the duty of the leadership to assist the membership in maximizing the enjoyment received from being a part of Genesis. By the same token, the membership is expected to do what is necessary to help foster their personal enjoyment and the collective enjoyment of the guild. Without the Fourth Pillar, the weight of the Arch becomes oppressive and places great strain upon the other three pillars. Thus, the maintenance of the Fourth Pillar is a continual responsibility of the individual and the collective.
The Leadership:
Genesis is not a democracy, nor is it a democratic republic. Genesis is a benevolent dictatorship governed by a council whose objective is to maximize the abilities of the membership, focus those abilities to realize the collective goals of the guild, and foster an atmosphere of enjoyment for all the members of Genesis.
The leadership is open to the constructive criticisms and suggestions of the membership. The proper channels for criticism and suggestion will be made readily evident and available to the membership. The membership must realize that no leadership is infallible and likewise that disagreeable short-term decisions are often the result of a more agreeable long-term goal.
The leadership is in place for the benefit of the membership.
Roleplaying:
While we aim at becoming the strongest guild of our kind, we also wish to maintain a roleplay-friendly environment within Genesis, seeing as we will be stationed on a Roleplaying server.
If it happens that one of our members for example, chooses not to attack a specific target for roleplaying reasons, this decision will be respected out of character.
Genesis is an Evil/Neutral aligned guild and as of right now will not accept any form of Paladin. If a member chooses to interact with a player of good alignment, that is their choice and will not be subject to guild punishment, though some characters in the guild may frown on it from a roleplaying standpoint.
Roleplaying within Genesis is not required, but highly encouraged and *must* be respected.
Guilds Roleplay Theme
In an alternate world, in a sea of hate and sorrow, a thousand demons were born into a world of endless sleep only to dream a thousand nightmares for all eternity...
The nightmares began to slowly grow and eat through the planes of existance, into the hearts of men who would share the dreams with the demons in their mortal sleep.
And so it went... the many evils of Norrath would sleep and share the dreams of destruction, chaos, and pain with the demons in the sea of hate and sorrow... and though seperated by time and space.. they were bound by the emotion of infinite hate for all that is good and just.
One night, while all mortal things slept, a being was born of these nightmares with one focus... to make the dreams of the demons... a reality. And so this minion was sent forth from eternal darkness to find the mortals bound to Norrath by this dream of hate, and conjure a Battalion which would seek to destroy all light left in the falling darkness of Norrath...
Orcish slaves were controlled to construct a great stronghold of stone and bone to house this Battalion of the damned, and within time... it was completed...
Now is the time of Genesis. The beginning... of the end.
( RP Theme is subject to change as more EverQuest II Lore is revealed. )
