Just looking for opinions and thoughts on an idea for the next timeline; a bodyguard company, Standard Protection, which offers elite bodyguards in expensive suits to anybody who can pay. As a result of their skill and recognition as the foremost bodyguard company, the Bounty Hunter's Guilld considers them an enemy, because more than once their bounty hunters' plans have been cut short by their targets hiring Standard Protection.

I'm thinking that anybody who can afford it for their character can hire Standard Protection; We'll have a list of members, and we'll have a list of interested clients, and we'll match them up one for one. From that point on until the client or bodyguard dies, the contract is cancelled or we decide to otherwise RP an escape out of the bond, the bodyguard will always be present in every thread that the client is participating in.

Obviously, Standard Protection works for everybody who can pay, they take no sides; Sith, Jedi, politician, drug dealer...whatever. You can pay, and Standard Protection will keep you alive.

Thoughts?

Not if they're from Standard Protection. That's a badge of honor, it means you're rich enough to hire the best. :prudence:

I feel like it would grow tiring to be a servant to a character and in turn would give said character the advantage in many PvP scenarios. Followers are always best gained by deeds and mutual benefit in my opinion, but if you want to play a bodygard I don't really see a problem with it. The faction rivalry might be interesting to explore.

@Herrith will be making a John Wick type character, so maybe she'll be interested.

@Black Noise created a guild of assassins similar to the Continental Hotel in the John Wick franchise but I can't recall all the members. In any case they might also be inclined to join if they make similar characters next timeline.
