The Revere Society
Rules
History
Mercy LaCroix, an Auror/Profiler, was working a case when she brought in a young Death Eater. The Death Eater was the son of a very powerful congressman. The young man got off and Mercy was given a reprimand. However the incident triggered a hunch in the young Auror and she began to a side project with the help of an underground network of informants.
Soon Ms. LaCroix discovered a slow and intricate plan to topple the American Senate of Magic. She Attempted to bring her evidence to her superiors attention. After several months of trying and being met with scorn and straight out denial, Mercy tried to toe the line. Until one day while on a case she was attacked. She identified her attackers but again nothing was done. Mercy soon quite the Aurors.
Mercy began to track every strange crime and soon discovered a pattern. After the attacks on Salem’s Witches Institute, She began to organize others who felt the government wasn’t doing enough. Soon through the muggle internet and other more magical means, a dissident community began to form.
Using her Auror training and contacts, Mercy took charge of the community. Looking to America’s own history, she dubbed the group the Revere Society, After the famous midnight rider who tried to alert the country to the invading British Soldier. This time though, the invaders with the British Death Eaters.
Goal
The Revere Society's main goal is to bring awareness of the Neo-Death-Eater's to the people as well as prepare as many as possible to defend themselves when the government will not. Each member will have their own talents and jobs. The Revere society does everything from actually engaging the enemy to spying. They also coordinate relief efforts to families that are victims.
Organizational Set-up
Members are organized under regional leaders, each one named after a famous forefather for secrecy. The leaders are the ones who conduct the meetings in each area. They all report to Mercy and get their directions from her before calling meetings. She will always attend the meetings in Salem's Peak, but as a "regular member".
Membership is only granted through other members. New members are presented the regional leader by their friends and family that are already inducted, who then okays them after checking them out. (Don’t worry, this won’t be RPed. Just information to introduce into your application)
The Leaders (codenames) under Mercy (codename: Revere) are:
Franklin-North East including Salem’s peak (Adoptable)
Washington- in charge of Washington DC
Jefferson- Southern States
Adams –Upper Midwest
Hamilton- Lower Midwest
Burr-West coast
Hancock- Alaska
Madison- Hawaii
Meeting Place
Due to the need for secrecy, the Revere Society members meet in different homes each time, all muggle homes that have been left empty due to vacation or they are up for sale. These homes are always very carefully guarded and cursed for maximum security.
Method of Contact and Symbols
The Revere Society functions on complete secrecy. Communications between members will be through Patronus and actually using Muggle technology, more on the Patronus. Meetings will be held at least monthly by active members.
Members of Note:
Mercy La Croix (Head)
Rules
- The Mod for this group is Mercy LaCroix. All issues should be addressed to her and sent to admin.ufm@gmail.com with her Name and the Reason in the subject line.
- Members must be 17 years and older.
- NO Student Members. If you are 17 and out of school, you may join, otherwise you cannot until you have graduated.
- Members are required to post at least once in all meeting threads or risk being dubbed a possible traitor.
- Members do not talk about the Revere Society outside of the group. To do so will result in expulsion from the group (unless it’s plot related). The Revere Society is regarded by The Government as at worst a band of vigilantes or at best a citizen’s group. It is the former that has forced the Revere Society to maintain a sense of secrecy. To be caught means trouble.
- Only the leaders know who each other are and who Mercy is. Lower level members do not know that Mercy is the Head. This was done, not only to protect the members but herself as well.
