Republic Marshals Culture

Culture

Shoulder Patch

All Marshals wear a patch with their current team logo on their shoulder.

Tattoos

Marshals (and others who feel inclined) also tattoo their team logo on their shoulder. If they move to a different team, they wear the new teams patch on their shoulder and tattoo the logo under the original one - thus to learn a marshal’s current team from tattoos you look for the logo furthest down their arm.

If a marshal has logos to their wrist, they are called Jokers. This is because they are both incredibly lucky for surviving, and incredibly unlucky for losing so many teams. Often Jokers are drawn to each other, so it’s normal to see teams made up entirely of Jokers. Also, they usually are quite experienced and skilled, thus are considered elites sort of like Green Berets.

Cloaks

Every marshal wears a different cloak. A new team will always have the same cloaks - all made with pieces of the Sihblosian meg that has blessed that team. Over time, cloaks wear out, and a new cloak will be obtained. If this happens on a different team, they may get a cloak of that team’s style, but it will have some bits of the old cloak added to it. It’s also true to find an older cloak with bits of a new team’s spirit animal attached. Some of the tougher animal cloaks may last a marshal their whole life.

Games

There are a range of friendly games that pit one marshal team against another, and these are highly competitive and can lead to bumps or drops in corridor reputation - which in turn can change what circuits a team is assigned to.
