Ashmourne Recruitment
Ashmourne only recruit Pokémon who are strong-willed, able to defend themselves even in the most dire of situations, and above all who follow the guild's three tenets. Those who wish to join Ashmourne must go through a series of three trials;
- Trial of the Mind - Pokémon must take a small questionnaire as the first stage of their recruitment. If the Pokémon passes this trial at the jurisdiction of the current guild leader, they may pass on to the second trial.
- Trial of Conquest - A Pokémon must take part in a mystery dungeon solo, where the goal is to acquire a certain item. The mystery dungeon does not allow the participant to gain levels or any other items during the trial, and the dungeon itself is set to be considered difficult even with a team. Pokémon who obtain this item are allowed onto the third trial, though even if the Pokémon fails they may be accepted depending on performance.
- Trial of Souls - This trial is dependent on the Pokémon participating, and thus is different for each Pokémon. The aim of the trial is to put that Pokémon in the position of a life-changing choice.
Those who pass all three trials are then inducted into Ashmourne. If that Pokémon is among one of the seven strongest currently in the guild, they are awarded a Medal, as long as that Medal is currently not owned.
If a Pokemon is to fail any one of these trials they are no longer allowed to retake the trials again and will remain permanently barred from entering the guild.
Taking these Trials
The Trial of the Mind's questionnaire is posted in a separate topic to which you must fill out and then PM the Guildmaster with your completed questionnaire. You will receive a reply shortly after confirming if you pass or fail.
the Trial of Conquest will be a specifically modded roleplay topic in an area that suits your level with increased difficulty. During this roleplay you cannot earn items, level up, learn new moves or anything else that may further your character. Upon completion of the topic you then advance.
The Trial of Souls is considered an interrogation and differs between characters. This will be conducted through PMs.
