Although at present, we at Pyre Falcon are currently more preoccupied with ensuring that the alliance can and will function as an effective PvP entity congruent with its RP as a Kaalakiota aligned private military, this does not mean it will not focus on RP. However, the form in which this will take is that of what might be described as organization level RP as opposed to interpersonal character RP through the deployment of story arcs of varied forms.
What will not vary however is the vision that the Pyre Falcon Defence Combine is a morally dark, cynical and pragmatic entity where in prosecuting acts for Kaalakiota Corporation, power is the only currency that matters and violence is the only language that those who oppose its interests understand. Whilst it is true that philosophically, the Combine does maintain staunchly nationalist and patriotic sentiments as specific to the Caldari and the State, this does not mean an unwillingness to dispense with niceties and pleasantries if and when it is required to advance the agendas of Kaalakiota and its shareholders.
The funding and sponsorship of terrorism targeted at the State's enemies; Economic espionage and sabotage against foreign commercial enterprises; The deployment of active measures of misinformation, propaganda and outright lies against those hostile to the State; Collusion with criminal cartels such as the Serpentis or Angels in mutually beneficial arrangements; The use of Black Laboratories to conduct illegal research; Making deals with corrupt politicians for favourable contracts; Or just good old fashioned blackmail, extortion, kidnap, and murder in the name of Kaalakiota are just a few of the options to be considered in the future, all the while seeking to deny any responsibility or culpability for such acts.
As such, what is required are those willing and able to be another type of Caldari: The anti-hero. The flawed patriot. The mercenary.
For in the Combine, there is no such thing as good or evil in the State, just competing interests. As such, in order defend its own interests and that of its shareholders that it is obligated to, the Agents and Operatives of the Combine will often be expected to act with absolute and decisive ruthlessness and to understand that failures are not forgiven easily.
In short though: Do not sign up with the Combine if you want RP that isn't going to be confrontational, ethically dubious, and morally ambiguous; you wish to play a, "Good Guy" with too many scruples; or if you just don't want to shoot people in their faces.
