The Agency is a commissioned organization, and as such, Agency members are designated to use any means necessary to achieve their mission: be it peaceful, political, or otherwise. Agency members are swift and effective in carrying out client directives. Our clients span all of Tyria’s nations, states, individuals, and Guilds, and requests can be submitted* at any time, by any person.
We are not a PMC and do not employ mercenaries. A mercenary fights for money. The Agency’s goal is peace**.
The Agency recognizes a Core Philosophy that all impurity must be eliminated*** for the greater good of Tyria. It is determined to achieve it’s goal by any and all means.
To commission the Agency to act on behalf of your organization, contact any current IPA Agents or a representative, who will forward your request through the proper channels.
Disclaimer:
Requests are accepted or denied on a case by case basis.
*Some nominal fees may apply.
***The term elimination is subjective in this context, and may be changed if necessary.
Departments
Though different in focus, each department is as essential as the last. Every Department has a Captain at the head, and every Captain has at least one unique rank reporting directly to them.
Combat Operations
(Identifying Rank: Lieutenant)
Made up of Guardian and Warrior, COps is a rapid response team that specializes in target elimination, VIP protection, and asset recovery (search and rescue). Only those who are exceptional in all areas of combat effectiveness will be hired into this department. Combat Operations must be first in, last out, and always faithful.
Motto: “Ever vigilant, always faithful.”
Infiltration, Investigation and Reconnaissance
(Identifying Rank: Inspector)
IIR is the department for Ranger, Thief, and Mesmer, and are expected to be experts at infiltration, information gathering, and investigation. They are given any means to accomplish the mission, be it through stealth, charm, or [redacted]. IIR Agents are expected to be strong in stealth combat, disguise, deception, tracking, or all of the above. IIR missions are known to be extremely high risk, and IIR agents who fail the objective are [expunged].
Motto: “War is deception.”
Research and Development
(Identifying Rank: Specialist)
Research and Development is a highly specialized science and technology department made up of Necromancer, Elementalist, and Engineer. It is a place to pool ideas and develop anything from plans of action, to experimental science and magical techniques. It is comprised only of exceptionally capable and intelligent individuals. R&D is expected to be plan A and plan B.
Motto: “Vision, integrity, excellence.”
Special Tasks and Operations
Special Tasks and Operations (STOP) is a [redacted] department that is still in development by [redacted]. Its primary focus will be [redacted] and [redacted], and will be comprised only by the most loyal and capable members of the Agency. Further information will be available on a need to know basis.
Motto: “The key bearers of truth, its power entrusted to us.”
OOC
The Agency was created with the idea of multi-guild cooperative roleplay in mind. The very structure of the guild is that of a special unit that can be strongly involved in the interplay and activity between guilds. The guild will focus on heavy lore-savvy RP, including but not limited to: structured event-based RP, missions for individual members, and random pickup RP.
We want to promote fun, open roleplay, and include other guilds in events that encompass the entire server and large alliances. We hope to accomplish this goal by creating a team focused on interacting externally, instead of just internally.
Everyone interested is welcome to submit an application to the Agency, and all admissions will be considered. We have no ‘open’ or ‘closed’ recruitment periods, and at present we are in a stage of indefinite recruitment. Anyone is welcome to try to join the Agency, and we plan to give our members as much freedom as possible in regards to how they want to play the game.
On a final note, the Agency is neither good nor evil, and its members span across a wide variety of alignments. It is an entirely nonpartisan organization, but may appear partisan when convenient. While the Agency claims its interests are in restoring the purity of Tyria, beneath the surface lies a complex network of information peddlers. The primary request from the Agency is that it is represented as a professional organization, and its members are expected to display a high level of professionalism at all times.
