Talk to me about the guilds. Not the recruitment speech from the people from here, I mean opinions from others who were transplanted to this place.



[ooc: that's it that's the post please feel free to harass the hell out of Bucky/hit me up if you prefer to harass him in person and we'll work something out. Also please threadhop to your heart's content on anything not marked private]

It reads like you already have opinions about the guilds. Do you expect other new arrivals to be more honest about the guilds than heroes native to this universe, or do you want to know which way we’ve all chosen?

[ Smart. But this is still a semi public forum, so he’s hesitant to directly state opinions. ]

The Guilds are good at PR; that’s true. They say it’s one of the benefits of joining: you have their spin machine behind you.

I’ve been reading up on the guilds and their founders. I know that teams can stray from their original intent, and guilds are larger than one team. I think it’s interesting that the only real autobiography from one of the active heroes around the time of the Godfall Incident is Frances Starling’s, which is more of a memoir than a history textbook. She’s unaffiliated, but you need to take all sides into account.
All the other big names just have social media and ghostwritten biographies.

hmmmm ok but what do u wanna know?
i mean i like my guild but whatever i tell u will just be the stuff they talk about in their speech

[personal profile] pinkxeno 2022-06-09 10:32 pm (UTC)(link)
well
i guess if u dont have a guild they kick u out of the housing and u lose the money
i dont think u have to pay it back but u are left on ur own

theres also a lot more press if u are part of a guild

oh and u got missions too but some of them seem silly like getting cats out of trees

Anything specific you're looking for when it comes to the guilds? I haven't joined one myself. Feels like too big a committment.

I think the Guardian Alliance has helped a lot of people and has the potential to do more, but they seem very concerned with how the public perceives them.

And it makes you not want to join them.

They're weird? Like they don't really care or do background checks and their rules are simple enough.

[ he's a sucker. ]

I mean, they don't seem very strict. I haven't broken any rules but it seems to have a lot of leeway?

Maybe they go around breaking people's legs and hiding them but I feel someone would notice!

We don't trust them, but it's pretty hard to get anything done without their help. Most places don't really trust unregistered heroes, so if you're trying to do something big, you're gonna need their blessing.

Which is a hard bargain.

They offer a measure of security and unity for the superpowered that isn't present in most worlds.
