A re-post from IntruderAlert!

This is the code of conduct we will likely be following as a Marik loyal mercenary unit.

Codes of conduct (rev. 12-5.a)

By order of the Captain-Generals, all Marik military and support personnel

are to adhere to the following codes of conduct in the highest traditions

of this command. This message is for general distribution, open protocol.

I. Loyalty to Self and Service

All members of the Marik military, no matter their capacity, are to

maintain the highest standards of loyalty to themselves and to the duties

that they perform. This involves, but is not limited to: personal behavior

while presenting one's self as a member of House Marik, performing any

function relating to a public capacity while a member of the Marik military

organization, and presenting a strong showing of support for fellow

personnel.

II. Loyalty to Unit and House

It is of vital importance to maintain the highest standards when

interacting and acting along with members of the same unit. Members of the

same Lance are expected to support each other as well as being loyal to

House Marik. If one individual is incapable of trusting another to perform

their duties then a weakness is created within the unit and within the

House itself.

III. Personal, Unit and House Honor

Above all Else, Honor is respect for rank, privilege, talent and ability.

Members of House Marik are expected to maintain the highest standards of

honor and integrity in all actions and conversation. This honor and respect

is also to be given to one's enemy no matter their level of skill or

apparent lack of integrity. An enemy may one day come to your aid or become

your ally.

IV. Discipline

Discipline, in addition to loyalty, integrity, honor and respect is the

foundation upon which any military force is structured. As applied to the

codes of conduct, discipline implies control over one's actions in any

situation and adherence to the codes of conduct.

V. Commands

Direct orders within the House Marik organization will not be given with

the expectation of immediate or robotic action. An order is a request to

perform an action that, as an individual, you should already know is

required to be performed for the betterment and survival of self, unit and

House. Leadership is by example; compliance with orders is out of respect

for the capabilities of those in command. If an order is refused but a

satisfactory result is achieved then no retributive action is required.

Every member of this organization is an individual who is expected to

perform for the honor and survival of this organization.

VI. Interaction with Peers

Simply put, whenever a member of House Marik is conversing or interacting

with anyone within or outside of this organization the other is to be

respected and treated as an equal. If the other proves him/herself beneath

your station do not resort to petty threats and insults. Treat all you

opponents, on the battlefield and off with respect, even though they may

not deserve it. It is the duty of every Marikan to show that they are

beyond reproach and maintain the highest standards of honor, integrity and

loyalty.

VIII. Mercy and Mayhem

In compliance with the previous codes as mentioned above the quintessential

mercy is the clean, swift death of your opponent. Do not place yourself or

your lance mates in a position where stupidity or failure of action will

place them or yourself in jeopardy. Uphold the codes of conduct but do not

ever, ever once believe your opponent(s) will treat you with any kind of

honor or respect in turn. When it comes right down to the wire, take the

opponent(s) out and provide them no reason to question your ability, honor

or integrity but always remember to uphold the standards of House Marik.
