Seiiki means sanctuary.
Family, the family one has chosen for themselves, must come before all else.
The once-mafia, Sem’ya, dwindled into an ember of its once fiery inferno but Raisa wouldn’t allow it to smother. Just shy of a year old, spurred by the death of her father, Rajani, Raisa takes the reins of her family -- or, what’s left of it. After gathering Akuji and Shreya as advisors, she returns home to assess her territory and finds….. nobody.
But she does not falter. Raisa reforms the pack into something more: a sanctuary for all those who want to be a part of their family, a guild of traders who want to be the best prepared, a unit she seeks to be no less respected by their allies and no less feared by their enemies.

☪ Be loyal to the family, the sanctuary as a whole, above all else. Loyalty and Unity are the main points the sanctuary stands for most firmly. All members of the group must work together to not just survive, but thrive.

☪ You may fight; You may scar; You may go as far as maiming your fellow comrades, but killing other Seiiki members (including honorary), even by accident, is strictly prohibited, resulting in the forfeit of your life.

☪ Start no shit, take no shit. Be cordial, but defend yourself and your brethren against outside forces by any means necessary. Do not harm the children. Do not harm the innocent. Do not attack unprovoked.

☪ The ruler-by-blood’s word is final. Disobey if you'd like, but be ready to face the consequences no matter how severe, dramatic, or potentially unfair.

☪ Anyone may bring a client to the sanctuary with temptations of goods, but not allowed to make offers of any kind; only the current rulers may make let alone approve or deny a trade to cut out confusion of what’s available to be traded.

☪ There are no “general” or basic ranks in the family, only specialized ones that are believed to bring out the best in each given member. While one can decide to switch their main job for the pack at any given time, it’s encouraged to pick the one thing you love and master it.

☪ Any trade deemed “beneficial” to Seiiki will be considered, including but not limited to: food, mentoring, arranged marriage, children, pelts/horns/hooves/bones, general trinkets, assistance in an upcoming fight or large game hunt, herbs, poisons, drugs, or highly valuable information.
All sales final; no substitutions, exchanges, or refunds.

☪ Seiiki offers an ally "rank" for honorary members that have proven their loyalty but call another place home if they agree to help when called upon. Will not accept dual citizenship.

☪ Open to any and all species willing to pull their weight!

☪ For all larger scale plots, please run them by RavenMarie OOC first. The spicier the better!

☪ Activity is key to moving up in rank/having a good reputation IC.

Sovereign —Often also referred to as Empress(Emperor)/Queen(King)/Tsarina(Tsar). Absolute head of the family, voice of the law. Makes all final calls, directs where necessary if a group leader is missing or busy, and encourages everyone to find their place. Recruits and accepts new members. Expected to have proficient knowledge in all skill sets in order to properly gauge trades for fairness, to properly serve their people. Does whatever job needs done; if the pack is low on hunters, they’ll fill caches, ect.

Does whatever job needs done; if the pack is low on hunters, they’ll fill caches, ect.

Consort — Mate of the current Seiiki ruler, usually by betrothal for politics or to a by-blood ruler who doesn’t care to share their power for some reason or another.
