Basically what I've come up with for a back story:

The history of the Grapevine Society is a muddy and very unclear one. The best known fact is that it's a worldwide organization, with sects in every major city, or wherever people are willing to pay for information. No one really knows how many members are active, except for in individual sects, such as the one based in Tokyo, but that's information you can't pay for.

BUT! Recently, what with the internet age blooming, the secrets have been getting harder and harder to keep. The GVS has been looking for new recruits, those who can keep a secret until it's ripe, and those who can keep a constant watch on internet traffic concerning the GVS.

There are also security jobs available, head of security is already taken (viktor the black ram), as is the 2 sect Commissioners (kalzar egypt-ruddy mongoose, and Cyllus the Fennec Fox).

Needless to say, anyone who intentionally makes themselves into an enemy of the GrapeVine Society is a fool, and all the major families know this. The whole of the society are all expertly trained in the art of propaganda and can break your reputation before you could even draw your sword or pistol. If they have to use a weapon, its something small and discreet; usually it's a knife and pistol combo because of how close to danger the field agents work is. Though when it's something serious they can get mostly anything for the situation, such as assassinations or "mass suicides".

--------------------------------------------

Most of all, the GVS is a neutral party, but willing to do some dirty work with the right compensation. It's not that they fear war with any family physically (they could more than triumph), but they would lose precious clientele. Also, when a member does go to work for a family, they are less than untraceable. People will see them, yes, but what they see is different from what they tell.

Kalzar looks forward to seeing some new faces around.
