## History

The history of the Slayers has mostly been lost to time with many records being destroyed during an insurrection and civil war between members that occurred over 200 years before our story. The organization is presumed to have been founded by Gilgamesh during the Time of Legend, however, it was created by his disciples after his death.

## Mission

The Slayers are a military organization whose primary missions are:

* The defense of the human race
* The eradication of all Tainted
* Training new members to master their aura

## Organization

### Structure

The **Slayer Corps** is made up of 6 **regiments**, each one having its own specialization and role inside of the organization.

The corps is lead by the **Director**, acting as both the leader of the military force and the academy. They are the absolute authority of the organization, however over time the role has become far more diplomatic as while they may declare executive orders, they will usually refer to the council of **doyens** before acting.

In each regiment, there are no ranks per se, only the **Doyen** (leader) of has an official rank, they then can select how they wish to organize their troops and will tend to have second-in-commands to deal with more administrative duties. While overall ability is usually key to becoming a **Doyen**, the selection process is held by a vote with top candidates from the regiment being selected by the council of **doyens** for their valor, skills and other feats.

### Council of Doyens

The Council of **Doyens** is made up of the leaders of each regiment, the title of **Doyen** is giving to those having been elected by their peers once a previous occupant of the position has retired, fallen in combat, stepped down or in very rare cases, been removed. This position is respected and grants the holder control over their **regiment** but also comes with immense responsibility. Each doyen is equal (with the exception of the **Director**) and has an equal say in matters but ultimately gets to decide for their entire **regiment**.

They are highly skilled, respected and masterful **Slayers** and their tends be an immense power gap between themselves and other corps member. They have mastered all basic **Slayer** abilities and perfected their control of **aura**, making them not only powerful foes but beacons for all of humanity.

Acting as chief officers of their **regiments**, they dictate policy, discipline, tactics and overall organization of their factions. Their position grants them absolute authority over their fellow **Slayers** and they should not be questioned. A long history of tradition makes each **Doyen** choose a specialty for their **regiment** upon taking office, over the years many of these specializations became second nature and a given, the current roles of each **regiment** have remained the same for the past 200 years with each new **Doyen** tweaking duties here and there.

### Recruitment

All **regiments** recruit among students with only one exception being the **Student Regiment**. Once young **Slayers** have finished their studies at the academy, they are immediately enrolled within the **Student Regiment**, most will spend their first years here perfecting their skills and trying to catch the eye of one of the **Doyen**. Each year they can enroll in a selection process where their skills will be put on display in various contests, based on their performance, they will be extended invitations from any **regiment**, however the choice ultimately remains theirs.

### Transfers

While most enlisted will have waited out and tried to enter the regiment of their choice, it can occur that some **Slayers** may wish to transfer from one **regiment** to another, or that due to their aptitudes they may be invited to join another. Should this happen, the **Council of Doyens** will assess their request and based on talent, skill, attitude and other factors may emit a favorable or unfavorable response. There are no penalties for being rejected.

## Insignia

Each regiment has its own unique symbol attached to it, said insignia allows fellow Slayers to recognize them and their role more easily.

## Uniforms

**Slayers** have an in-duty uniform that generally consists of a white Gakuran and either straight pants or hakama pants depending on the **Slayer's** preference, however, many customize or wear a custom attire in active duty in order to try and stand out from their peers. The one requirement for a **Slayer's** attire is that their **regiment** symbol must be embroidered in a visible location, usually the arm or breast of their top.

Out of active duty, **Slayer** are allowed to wear any civilian outfit that they should desire, they are not bound by any regulations but will tend to have something on them that allows people to recognize their **regiment**.
