The Holy Writ

The Holy Writ. The Holy Writ is the list of sacrosanct tenets and philosophies set forth by The Gaijin Holy Order for there assassins to abide by. The Holy Writ is composed of the founding tenets, and three core truths: The Gaijin Principle, Moral, and Philosophy. A Gaijin Initiate is to learn these core truths before he is even to pick up a weapon, or to start in his physical training. It is Imperative that the mind and soul be strengthened first, before the body. This is to prevent on any corruption within the Gaijin ranks, and to ensure that the philosophy and ideals are kept, while at the same time training others in the deadly arts.

The Founding Tenets

The founding tenets. The founding tenets where three basic rules composed in the earliest centuries of the Gaijin order. before the Holy Writ was written, these rules acted as temporary guidelines for the Gaijin to live by, until a more thorough set of rules where defined. However, even after the Holy Writ was written, these three core tenets became the foundation of the order itself. And rather, it was the Holy Writ that expanded on the Tenets in more detail. The tenets are to be followed completely and utterly. Without question. If one is broken, the Assassin is assaigned a "Handler" that will travel with the being in question, to evaluate his stability. If two are broken, he is stripped of rank, and forced to go through training again. If three are broken, depending on the circumstances, he may be put to death, or, stripped of rank, given a handler, and forced to go through training. It should be noted, that if an Assassin is given a second chance, there is no third. It is either repent, or die.

"I shall never stain my blade with the blood of innocents"

The ultimate goal of the Gaijin is to spread peace through the galaxy. The Gaijin believe that the assassination of political figures, and the termination of the corrupt and malicious beings will bring about peace and security to the commoner. The wanton slaughter of innocents who need not die only spreads chaos and discord among the commoners, as well as draw attention to the order itself, and mar its name and reputation.

"No matter the cause, nor the mission, always remain secret and allusive."

Remain unseen. The goal of the Assassin is not to be the awe inspiring god of war, but the quick and silent blade. Always minimize chances of capture and discovery, while at the same time maximizing efficiency. Use stealth, deception, and misdirection to walk among the commoner.

"Never, under any circumstances, compromise the Order."

The actions of one, must never bring harm to all. If an Assassin fails, is captured, or is being chased, he must not commit an action or say anything that can be tied back to the Order, or the Orders location. Secrecy is strength.

First Core Truth: Gaijin Principle

A "Principal" is a fundamental truth or proposition that serves as the foundation for a system of belief or behavior or for a chain of reasoning. The Gaijin principle is no different. The Gaijin principle is exactly this: Civilization. A just civilization creates Peace. An unjust civilization creates Anarchy and Pain. Only through a just civilization can peace be maintained, can the balance be maintained. For, make no mistake: even a just civilization has pain and anarchy, but, so long as its leaders are true and of good and pure heart, the balance of good will counter the bad. An unjust civilization, if its leaders are corrupt, if there thoughts are malicious, the bad will outweigh the good, and so balance will be lost; pain and suffering above that which is normal or even moral will reign. It is this balance, the reigning in of key beings, and of political figures, that keeps this balance in check.
