SEES INFORMATION (Specialized Extracurricular Execution Squad)
Basic Outline:
While the basic principle of SEES remains, which is to protect the people, the group is now going to be taking a different approach to that same ideal. There is the Detective Agency already in place to solve mysteries, so the Investigation Team is not needed for its’ primary purpose, and the Watch is in place to patrol the city, with most of the adults in this group already. But there is a group that is neglected right now, and that is the children; ages 7 to 18. Now, while most children and teenagers feel that they are fine and old enough to join the Watch, that is okay; we’re not going to try and detract from the Watch, or hinder its progress and recruitment of new guests within the city. But there are also teenagers and children that either cannot join the fight just yet, or would prefer to help out in other ways instead of joining in a war they feel they want no part of.
This is where SEES comes in. Basically the group would be a sort of “Youth Watch” without being connected to the Watch; to give the younger guests something to do, and a way to help out the war effort, while also giving the stability and slight militarized feel that people might need to experience before they move beyond the group and go to join the Watch full time. For an example of what we are looking to achieve, take a look at how the Boy Scouts of America are organized, with different activities to do, while still building the trust and bonds you will need to move on in your life; in this case, to move on and find a partner for a Meister/Weapon team, and then fully go on to do regular missions.
Restrictions:
Because every good group needs restrictions in it. There will be an age cap on this group; at this moment, we are considering it to be 20 years old, though it may be lowered to 18 years old if a lot of people show interest in the group. You do not need a partner to join the group, nor will you be assigned one; we want people to form bonds of trust and friendship naturally, and find partners through that. If you are already in a partnership, then that is also fine! We can show you different activities to make resonance easier. As of right now, the group will also take in people who are in the Watch, as long as they can ICly constitute enough time for their character to do Watch activities and not have any scheduling conflicts with the Watch and SEES. Also as of right now, the group will take in people who are already going out on missions; again, this is not a mission based group, but an activities one.
People Involved:
Right now there are very different roles in place, though as time changes, these roles are up to debate; however, the leader and leader-helpers will not change unless BREW decides to send someone home.
Leader: Souji Seta and Meister/Weapon partner, Yosuke Hanamura
Second in Command: Minako Arisato and Junpei Iori
And then when SEES splits up into small groups, there will be someone in charge of the small groups; this is dependent on who joins for right now.
As for other people who would not be completely involved, but may watch from afar; Shibusen, Roy Mustang, people who might want to help with specific activities like Prussia, etc.
Activities:
This part is a little more fluid, and will greatly profit from IC actions, and OOC posts discussing what the characters would like to do, but so far we have a few ideas:
Scavenger hunts throughout the city -> Place them in groups of two-four and give people a list of things to find; most creative gets points, and the winners get some kind of prize.
Treasure hunts -> Teams are given a map and/or a set of clues, and then they go around to search; whoever gets to the end first wins.
Bracketed Tournaments -> Fighting! Weapons and Meisters fighting together, or Weapons and Weapons, and in the end, whoever comes out on top gets a prize. Prizes will be determined at a later date
Trust exercises -> These range between teaching someone to fall back into another person’s arms to going out on the training field in the afternoon and trying to get through makeshift rope courses as a group.
Support groups -> Making up baskets to give to new people who arrive in the city with essentials that they might not have on hand; cans of food, toothbrushes/toothpaste, soap, etc.
Arts and Crafts -> Just as it sounds. Making pamphlets, designing fliers and posters, lanyard making for your communicator, ANYTHING GOES IN HERE.
