The Hawke Company is recruiting!



www.HawkeCompany.com

In early March 2012, a small community of friends from all across Europe decided to unite once more under a new banner - and under a new game. Not all of them used to play the first Guild Wars, but they all shared one trait: Rampant excitement about the upcoming sequel! Old bounds were reforged, new ones created and they all worked together to create something from scratch - the Hawke Company was born, stronger than ever!

Now we are looking for people to join our community!

What we are

We are a humble community of people who enjoy socialising and playing games together, this is as simple as it gets!

What we will be

Our company is looking to become a well-established member of the Guild Wars 2-community, as well as a successful competetor in both PvE and PvP.

What we stand for

In Hawke Company, we believe in the individuality of our members. While we are looking for new souls to join our ranks we do not wish to become the largest guild on our server, which is why we employ a certain standard when deciding on new members (see "Join Requirements").
We stand for a mature and friendly environment where our members come first.

What we offer

We offer an experienced "full-time admins" staff in command, who will provide all the ressources needed to be a successful community - our own Website with forums and our very own Teamspeak3-server with 32 slots!
Our guild features a complete Constitution, which was specifically written to allow a clear insight on how our guild is run.
We bring you a chance to join a fun and unique international selection of members, who would love to welcome you in their midst! We want you to feel like being a part of something instead of merely tagging along!

What we are looking for

We are looking for loyal and active members for our growing guild, who would like to accompany us through the period of waiting for Guild Wars 2 to actually be released. We are looking for more people to socialise and have fun with, to fill our brand-new forums with life and, ultimately, to roam the lands of Guild Wars 2 with!

Join criteria

• You must be at least 16 years old
• You must register on our page and submit an application

Also added a background. Please let me know what you think.

Record Below Lies the History of the Hawke Company and their forbearers.

Ascalon Vanguard

The Ascalon Vanguard were an elite force under the command of Prince Rurik. They were completely independent of the financing and influence of the king, and were small but very powerful and strong. In their latter years , the Ascalon Vanguard turned on the offensive, instead of the defensive style of the usual Ascalon Army.

Many of the Vanguard members followed Rurik through the Shiverpeak Mountains with other Ascalonians, though not all of them did. The Ebon Vanguard, an off-shoot of the Ascalon Vanguard, remained behind Charr lines under Captain Langmar's command.

Ebon Vanguard

After Rurik left for Kryta, Captain Langmar took over the vanguard and was sent north in order to strike at the occupying charr from behind enemy lines. Under the leadership of Langmar, the unit was renamed to the Ebon Vanguard due to recruiting and having its ranks swell with former prisoners of the charr, which in turned made them no longer being a part of the Ascalon army. Their earliest known mention under the new name was eight years after the Searing. During their operations, they were positioned at the still mysterious Eye of the North.

They participated in the downfall of the Great Destroyer and thus helped delay the awakening of Primordus. In fighting the Great Destroyer, they temporarily put aside their differences with the charr and freed the revolutionary Pyre Fierceshot, in doing so beginning the long revolution that would eventually see the downfall of the Shaman caste.

In 1079 AE, Captain Langmar and the Ebon Falcons aided the Shining Blade and Salma in defeating the White Mantle during the Krytan Civil War. She left Gwen in charge, who took leadership after Langmar's death during the war.

The Hawke Company

The Hawke Company was formed after a disagreement between the Lieutenants Gwen Thackeray and Vincent Hales over who would take over running the Vanguard when Captain Langmar died.

Lieutenant Hales, taking a selection of loyal supporters and those who were in the Vanguard just for the fighting or the honour, split off from those who were in solely for their personal hatred against the Charr and formed the Hawke Company, drawing inspiration from the great Hawke Gate in the city of Ebonhawke, the company set off, the black Hawk on their banners, in search for glory. Now in charge of his own force, Hales promoted himself to the rank of Captain and noone ever questioned him about it.

In the years following their forming, the company left the area around Ebonhawke travelling to distant lands fighting in a series of civil wars and battles for the promise of fame and loot. Captain Hales soon started allowing other races to join the company, even the Charr, so long as they swore loyalty to their new leader.

Many Captains have left and fallen in battle since their forming but the Company still stays strong with the new tensions brewing many are flocking back to the banner of the Hawke and under their new leader, Captain Sophie, things are looking profitable.
