THE WORLD IS QUIET HERE.
DESCRIPTION.
⠀
VFD is a secret organization composed of voluntary members who undergo missions to do good in the world, as well as those younger members who are still training to do so. Though the organization has had many names, it currently goes by the alias Volunteer Fire Department, with its current mantra of "putting out literal and figurative fires."
In summary, VFD is a noble organization that endeavors to spread and do good and only good all over the world, nothing more. The main headquarters of the organization is located in the mountainous outskirts of a large city, but VFD's influence and trace can be found all over the world.
⠀
Motto.
When we grab you by the ankles,
Where our mark is to be made,
You'll soon be doing noble work,
Although you won't be paid.
When we drive away in secret,
You'll be a volunteer,
So don't scream when we take you:
The world is quiet here.
⠀
✹
HISTORY.
⠀
Only a few people know when VFD was first established, but those people were the founders themselves; to this day, it is unclear when the organization started its activities of noble work. However, it has been many decades since then, and the members continue to persevere with a common goal: to keep the peace in the world, in secret.
However, it wasn't always peaceful. Sometime in its history, VFD started to be divided into two sides: those who still believe in the organization's values, and those who thought working against the same values was a much better alternative. It got worst as the years went on, until the Baudelaire siblings came into the picture.
Violet, Klaus and Sunny, like many others, were victims of the schism. Every VFD member knows of their story, either having contributed to the chaos present in it or simply standing back as an observer. Because of them and Beatrice Baudelaire II, Kit Snicket's daughter, the schism was dissolved and soon enough, the organization was back on track for good. However, that was the only contribution the three siblings brought to the table, believing it was best to stay away due to the trauma its past members had brought to their lives. Meanwhile, Beatrice Baudelaire II became the new Head of the organization's New Age.
Since then, the organization and its members has been working hard to continue its goals of ensuring the world remains quiet, that it remains peaceful as much as possible.

ORGANIZATION LIFE.
⠀
The organization is currently led by the Rosenheim siblings: Ianthe, Briar, Dyll, Sakura and Jupiter. Check this page to see their respective duties, tasks and responsibilities in the organization (as well as the rpw).
All members are separated into two divisions: Volunteers and Neophytes. Volunteers (1997 liners and above) are those members that have finished their training and participate in the missions assigned by the organization. They can also be chaperones to neophytes who have almost reached the completion of their training. Meanwhile, Neophytes (1998 liners and below) are still training under the organization to be the best volunteers they can be. Each division is further divided into two Factions.
Volunteers - Celandine
Volunteers - Aconite
Neophytes - Hemlock
Neophytes - Nightshade
Once recruited, neophytes are given a spyglass, a commonplace notebook or journal, a disguise kit, and a tattoo of the VFD logo on their right ankle. Both Volunteers and Neophytes are expected to have their Foci of interest or Expertise that they are well-versed in, examples of which are Inventing, Research, Culinary, Theater, Fashion, Law, and many more.
Neophytes take classes in Disguise Training, Combat, Literature, Codes and Ciphers, and they also have self-study schedules in regards to their Foci or Expertise, with personal tutors supplied by the organization, sometimes Volunteers themselves.
In regards to missions, all of them follow a theme: beneficial to both the world and VFD. Missions can be recruitment, research through travel and immersion, undercover work in public facilities (libraries, firms, hotels, hospitals, restaurants, schools), development of products (cures, gadgets, etc.), and many more.
All members of VFD are well-versed in codes, because their work is confidential. They do not reveal the organization's existence to outsiders. They do not ask for payment for their work in VFD, because the satisfaction of doing good is enough.
There is a Council of members, four from each division, which means two from each Faction. They're in charge of keeping up the camaraderie between the members, and are directly involved in carrying out events and activities for the members to enjoy in their free time. They also disseminate all information from the Heads.

For new members, you must reach 100 tweets in your first 24 hours. These tweets must be PURE tweets, no tweeting of random letters or numbers. You will be asked to delete them if you do this. Failure to do so will result to you being placed in probation, in which you will be given an extension to reach the quota. If you are still not able to reach 100 tweets and you're inactive during your probation period, then you will be removed as a member.
New members also have a dating ban of 14 days or 2 weeks. Those who are caught establishing a romantic relationship with anyone in-character will face consequences.
All members are encouraged to post entries from their commonplace notebook or journal, in any format they desire (threads, Carrd, etc.). Participating in this will earn your Faction points.
There is no limit to how many rps an operator can handle. To get another rp, your first rp account must have 1000 tweets or more. If you have more than two rp accounts already, the first must have an additional 250 tweets and the second must have 1000 tweets or more. If you have three or four rp accounts already, the process is still the same, activity level must be consistent.
Marriage is only allowed for those couples who have been together for five months or more, except for 2000 liners and below. You need to get the heads' permission first BEFORE the engagement, and after the permission has been given, 20 points each will be deducted from the Faction/s the couple belong to.

RECRUITMENT.
Careful, this page contains the key.
⠀
Recruitment happens when the organization receives word of the existence of a young individual who qualifies to become a member. This individual's parents are informed of the organization's intention of recruiting their child, and they will only pursue once permission from the parents have been granted. Then, the recruit is also informed in two separate but continuous ways, a letter and the actual recruitment process.
The letter is short and quick, expressing VFD's intention of recruiting them, the assurance that the organization has their parents' permission, and advising the recruit to be alert. The actual recruitment process goes like this:
On the day you officially join the organization, you will hear a noise outside your home. It may sound like the howling of a wolf, the cawing of a crow, or the turning of a page. The noise will come in the middle of the night, the middle of the morning, or, in very rare cases, late in the afternoon. Ask your parents what the noise was. If they reply "nothing," they are replying in code, because there is never "nothing" outside one's home. If you are interested in volunteering, answer your parents with the following question: 'If there's nothing out there, what was that noise?' We will be listening, and will know it is safe to act.
