You stand outside the building listed on the flyers you've seen posted around the continent, word of the mercanary group has penetrated nearly every part of the known world through posters, flyers, woodland animals and word of mouth, looking for more information straight from the source you've decided to travel to Cloak HQ. Regardless of whether your journey was over borders, across worlds and time or just around the corner, you've arrived. Pushing open the double doors of the building you step into a sparsely furnished room, along the walls are two rows of comfortable looking chairs, a small counter with a woman sitting behind it faces you, upon meeting her eyes she smiles politely and turns her head.
"Derrin? Someone to see you?" she yells
"I don't have any appointments today. Tell them I'm not here." comes the muffled response that awkwardly enough you're able to hear, the woman frowns and mutters something beneath her breath before facing you again to smile.
"Just go right in! He'll be happy to see you now!" She gestures at the door beside her.
Whether you're curious, annoyed at the treatment or just plain stubborn you march up to the door, nod at the woman behind the counter and push it open. Entering a long hallway, the door you want is obviously the one directly in front of you.
Captain Derrin Hasstorn, Cloak.
Reads the sign on the door.
You push it open and step inside. The first thing that you notice is how organized the room is and yet still manages to look messy, stacks of books and paper occupy every surface, the shelves and drawers meant to hold them are fill to bursting. The room has no decorations in it, apart from a drawing hung up on a wall of three people with their arms around each other, two men and one woman.
Behind the desk sits a man surrounded by stacks of paper, he's scowling at you and very clearly not pleased to see you.
"... She let you in anyways I see... I'd fire her if we didn't need the staff so badly at the moment." He grunts and looks back to the paperwork infront of him."Whatever, you're here. Pick one of the stacks of my work off one of those chairs and set them on the floor." You follow his direction, taking a seat in front of the desk.
"My name is Derrin Hasstorn. Current Captain of Cloak." He extends a hand to shake yours, regardless of whether you take it or not he looks displeased and places it back on the desk.
"Obviously you have questions, or you wouldn't be here today. Go ahead and ask."

Hello everyone! Most of you know me for those that don't I'm Kieran (pending change to Inigo). I've been an FEF member for a while and I play Derrin Hasstorn who is the Captain of Cloak at the moment. I decided to make an info/recruitment/hangout in the RP thread for Cloak members or people who wish to join so here it is.
PERHAPS A CREW WOULD LIKE TO STICKY THIS FOR ME?
QUESTIONS
1) What is Cloak?
Cloak is a prolific mercenary group who takes on odd jobs from a multitude of clients worldwide.It was started by an older FEF member Esgagelion who's character named Lance ran the show Cloak first appeared in This thread. Look for the post by Lance Dartel
2) Where is Cloak located?
Cloak HQ is a large building located in the capital of Learania, Eyris.
3) What kind of jobs does cloak take?
Anything. No seriously I mean everything. Lost cat? We're on it, Need some help picking vegetables? No problem Want us to babysit at an orphanage, we've done it. Escort foreign royals across enemy borders? Easy. Cloak members are not restricted to any job and can take or refuse missions based on their own discretion. HOWEVER, AT THE MOMENT CLOAK IS CONTRACTED WITH THE LEARANIAN MILITARY AND AS SUCH CAN NOT TAKE ANY MISSIONS OFFERED BY ANOTHER COUTRIES MILITARY WITHOUT PERMISSION FROM DERRIN. This is to avoid our agents from having to fight each other.
4) As a member what do I get?
Well first off you get an easy way into any RP thread that comes up. In RP you are given an Amulet, these amulets were made by Lance and have several uses that we'll get into later but basically it's a membership pin. You also get a White cloak with black embroidered characters from a mysterious alphabet, if you don't like White, the cloak flips around to be black with red embroidery, (other colours have recently become available as well). Your character also will be paid for whatever missions they take on. In addition, HQ provides food and lodging at the boardhouse for those members in need of it
5) How do I take a mission or request Cloaks services?
Taking a mission is really easy, all you have to do is check the bulletin board, on it go the easy missions where trouble isn't expected (Finding lost cats, helping old man Winkles fix his roof.) Derrin will contact specific members if more difficult or specific missions come up.
Requesting Cloak to take a job is easy! Just Mail (PM) Derrin Hasstorn!
6) What does the amulet do.
Cloaks amulet has several functions which can be activated by speaking a command into it. Commands!
Active: Sets your status to active, Derrin will contact you for missions, if your amulet is glowing a faint white light it means he's got one for you and you should check Cloak HQ ASAP, if it glows Red it means a comrade is in danger, the thicker red it glows the closer to an amulet set to Help you are.
Inactive: Sets your status to Inactive, Derrin knows you're too busy with something else for him to contact you, you will receive no mission notices and none of the other commands will work until you go active again
Help: Sets your status to In Danger, your amulet will not glow but your location on the map in HQ will glow and Derrin will know to send reinforcements. Arrival time may vary.
Seek: Your amulet will glow green, the darker the colour the closer you are to another amulet set to Active.
Misson: Sets your status to On the Job, Derrin will know you are currently on a mission.
Completed: Sets your status to Completed, Derrin will expect you back soon to recieve your payment
Failed: Stets you status to Failure, Derrin will know the objective for some reason has failed and will send reinforcements to help get you out safely or will abort all other operations regarding it.
INFORMATION ABOUT THE AMULET IS KNOWN ONLY TO FULL MEMBERS, THE ONLY THING A NON-MEMBERS KNOWS IS THE ACTIVE AND INACTIVE COMMANDS
7) How do I join!
PM Derrin Hasstorn, a quick in character interview will follow when we both have time after which he will decide whether to accept or reject you.
8) Does Cloak have ranks?
At the moment no, aside from Derrin being the current leader there are no ranks, if members want ranks I may do so.
9) How did Derrin get to be in charge and what happened to Lance.
Short story, Esgy said I could.
Long Story, see This thread, still being written but it'll explain everything when done
10) YOUR QUESTION HERE
Feel free to PM either my account or Derrin's if you have any more questions and I'll answer them in here!
Name: Derrin Hasstorn Class: Mage Age: 24 Cloak history: Derrin was forced to join Cloak when the girl he had a crush on dragged him into it. He used to be a reluctant member until recent events involving being kidnapped, locked in a basement and starting to hear a magical cactus's voice in his head turned him into the reluctant Leader of Cloak. A task in which he grumpily takes to the best of his ability.
Current Mission: Making sure all his agents make it home safe...funeral pay is expensive.
Status: ACTIVE
Completed Missions of note:
The Orphanage Kidnapping:
When Cloak was contracted to take children from The Sunshine Orphanage on a hiking trip, Derrin and Enalios were the ones who got the job. The job did not turn out to be so simple when a rival band of Mercanaries calling themselves "The Firm" showed up and took the unarmed cloak agents and the orphanages staff and children hostage. It turned out one of the orphange staff was a bodyguard to a crimelords only heir and "The Firm" had been contracted by a rival crimelord to take her and the heir.
Derrin at first was all for handing the child and her protector over, however this proved to be a ruse to by them time, reinforcements arrived, The Firm was delt with and Derrin and Enalios completed their mission successfully.
Enailios Liadon: The Blacksmith
Name: Enailios Liadon Class: Hero Age: ?? (Somewhere above 13) Cloak history: When Lance left Cloak and Eyris behind he took several papers with him presumably just to annoy Derrin. Derrin doesn't know how or why Enailios became a Cloak member, and though he'd never admit it he's pleased he did. Although Cloak doesn't have ranks if Derrin had to name someone his second in command it'd be The Blacksmith. Enailios makes all of Cloaks armour and weapons and is paid to do so, in addition although still learning sword and axeplay he is proving to be quite competent. Plus, Derrin can count on him to handle nearly any clerical duty.
Current Mission: Body-guarding Guild Captain Rath and the Sentrian Prince as they make their trip to meet up with Adiliana reinforcements.
STATUS: ON MISSION

Lina: Darling Taguel
Name: Lina Class: Taguel Age: 14 Cloak history: The youngest, and least human of the group Lina joined Cloak to begin her own hero's journey. What better way to prove her abilities to the world than with mercenary work? Classic young teenager behavior. She was immediately turned into Cloaks mascot
