[@Nymeria] Hey there Nymeria! Coincidentally I was just reading your intro thread and was going to invite you here.

As for your question, I'd reckon Silver Shields is out because of the strict rules and all that, yeah, but I have no problem with you joining Pathfinder's Black Sun band, but as I'm not sure about the exact specifications of that one and have just been given a rough idea you'd have to talk to him about it!

Alternatively, you could make a band of your own up, and your character won't necessarily have to be the leader of the company/guild/etc if you're into the idea of playing someone who's prone to rebel against the rules set by someone else.

Alternatively alternatively:
[quote=@Winterwake]A gigantic, self-proclaimed captain of a new company of mercenaries dressed in a gleaming steel half-plate and matching barbute helmet patrols the wharf, calling out to all who will hear him: "The Band of the Blue are seeking able bodied men and women to hunt monstrous beasts to the far east in exchange for coin!"[/quote]I posted this in the IC part of the thread not long ago, so if you'd like for your character to be a current member or a fresh joiner that's also an option.
