Assassins (Evensol)

This page documents a complete list of every assassin on Evensol.

Yep, all three of them.

Known mostly as the three bachelor weirdos to Tilan, the entire assassin coven on Evensol consists of three (and only three) people, somewhat because assassination is mostly illegal, but primarily because these three are the sole authority on the matter of what an assassin really is and thus refuse admittance to anyone else.

## Code of Conduct

### No, They Don't Kill People

Evensol assassins aren't for killing people.

Let me elaborate -

The point of being an assassin isn't to assassinate people; rather, it is to *be* an assassin. Assassins spend their time being assassins instead of doing the actual assassinating. Likewise, the point of employing an assassin isn't to make that assassin kill people. Rather, you employ an assassin *for the sake of employing an assassin*.

Assassins are expensive. They take over a decade to train (a process which takes huge amounts of money), they are educated in all the subjects that a gentleman requires (again, huge amounts of money), they dress in the best fashion, and they generally look cool. In short, anyone who is rich enough to employ an assassin is a very rich man indeed.

Just like how pineapples are used to show off status and wealth during the Georgian era, assassins in Evensol are a symbol of both a Levian merchant's economic success and his sense of taste. And, like how pineapples were not for eating, assassins are (usually) not for assassination either - after all, if your assassin gets hurt or even dies in an assassination attempt, you would be accused of not providing adequate training, being too reckless with your economic decisions, and you'd meet social isolation as well as general business failure. And, of course, you wouldn't have an assassin anymore. Sad, isn't it?

### Legal?

The Evensol assassins, as well as about a dozen of assassin wannabes, are all situated in the city of Levispolis, mostly due to the area's unique legal system.

As the almost-official city of smuggling and crime, Levispolis has almost everything - including laws against things like assassins, not paying taxes, stealing, and murdering people.

One of the things that Levispolis doesn't have, however, is any kind of legal enforcement. In the giant, old, corrupt, and slightly authoritarian Peronium Empire, Levispolis alone stands as an anarchist city where policepeople are a myth. This young metropolis is now the infamous city of crime while still somehow staying relatively safe for its residents.

Assassins are illegal everywhere else, and illegal in here too. But considering that over 94% of all the income capital in this city stems from smuggling, who cares?

### Parties, Balls, and Socialising

The most important part of an assassin's job is socialising, and what better place to socialise than parties and balls?

As virtual representatives of their employer and the corresponding giant company, it is crucial that assassins attend all the higher-class social activities that they could, even if said event was hosted by an enemy businessman. There is such a thing as etiquette, after all.

This averages out to approximately a ball or a party once or twice every fortnight, and get-togethers, drinky-dos, and unofficial gatherings once every few days. As assassins always get invitations to every one of these , and the livelihoods of thousands of people literally depend on their attendance, scheduling becomes a matter of great importance.

### Fashion

All assassins are expected to be as stylish as possible in their dress. After all, bad taste in the assassin signifies bad taste in the employer, or possibly even a lack of enough money to pay the assassin's shopping receipts, which is a really bad thing to have other people think of you in a society where successful businessmen are the equivalent to nobles with titles.

While keeping up entirely with the current fashion is not required, assassins should have their own style in what they wear. Sanders keeps to a strict dusty black palette, preferring relatively simple and light clothes with an eloquent sweeping quality as he moves; Stevenson stans warm-coloured fine custom suits and is meticulous when it comes to ties; Dawkins, still trying to find a unique take on things, leans towards waistcoats and tricornes (mostly black and blue).
