SHRIKE

Category:Authority
SHRIKE is an authority clique in Thirlcrest Academy: Scholarship Edition.
==About==
SHRIKE is a private security company that was hired by Thirlcrest Academy to handle the things that student authority can't. Typically being present after serious incidents, SHRIKE's presence is enough to strike fear into the hearts of students, who avoid provoking or messing with SHRIKE officers. When campus is more calm, SHRIKE are typically seen patrolling the entrances and searching returning students for contraband. 
==Lore==
Thirlcrest Academy, in recent times, has been plagued with more violence than ever before. Various students have been hospitalized with serious injuries inflicted by other students, and some students have even been expelled due to excessive violence. The school's main reason for introducing SHRIKE was out of safety concerns for their star students, the Prefects, who also serve as the school's primary rule enforcers. SHRIKE was hired by the school to aid the Prefects in dealing with very severe situations.
SHRIKE itself is nothing particularly impressive. Its employees are largely made up of young adults with little to no higher education, and military/police experience is quite uncommon. SHRIKE also lacks a hierarchy, with its officers on campus being under the control of a few supervisors. Most of SHRIKE's contracts involve protecting shopping malls and other relatively easy tasks. However, they are an extreme forced to be reckoned with on campus, with their punishments being harsh. SHRIKE are known to physically detain people at the smallest sign of resistance, forcing students to watch their mouths around them.
SHRIKE are easy to spot in their grey dress shirts with the company's logo on it, alongside duty belts. They are based out of the SHRIKE office, a building dedicated to them at the campus' main entrance, though they also operate a security booth at the other entrance. The office contains a workspace for them, a reception for students, the school's contraband locker and an interrogation room. While the idea of an interrogation room strikes fear into the hearts of many students, SHRIKE, like Faculty, do not abuse their authority, and can not be bribed.
