MANDATUM GENTILIS

A GENTLEMAN’S SUMMONS

Filed under: Consigliere’s Dictate — D-Day of Oathfire

“Shoot now or never, comrades.”

Let it be written,

Let it be obeyed:

The House of Philocalist extends a hand draped in velvet,

beckoning those of virtue, bearing, and vow to partake

in the Order of Gentle Talent.

I. The First Step.

Begin your passage by selecting the Join button upon our noble channel.

Therein lies the freshest parchment of recruitment decrees.

II. Intentions, Above All.

To be sworn into this House is to serve with poise under all conditions.

A true gentleman offers his grace not only in ease but in storm.

III. Past Laurels.

Should you have once donned the title of talent and carry written testimonial,

such relic shall earn you our favour.

IV. Attributes Most Desired.

We extend preference to aspirants who carry at least three of these aptitudes:

— Virtue in Real Life (VN, OTP, PAP, Singing, Instruments)

— In-Character Bearing

— Imaginative Literacy

— Bilingual Eloquence

— NSFW Artistry

V. Time: The Currency of Honour.

The man of worth arrives not in haste nor delay,

but in steadiness. Make time, and be true to your word.

VII. Allegiance in Modesty.

You shall not be bound to more than three Houses, including @Philoocalist.

Devotion divided too thinly is no devotion at all.

VII. The House Must Be Kept.

Ours is a sanctuary—not a field of espionage.

Swear peace unto your fellow talents and caregivers;

disruption shall not be coddled.

VIII. Age of Entry.

— A gentleman of at least seventeen summers may walk through our gates.

— Only those eighteen and above may bear NSFW offerings.

We ask for truthfulness, so none may be shamed by falsehood.

If your soul still stands tall after reading this decree,

step forward and submit thy completed form to the steward listed.

Fortune favours the refined.

Stamped in dignity,

— The Court of Philocalist.
