Playing the Role of a Recruit

Well first off, only humans are recruited into the Company. That doesn’t mean the Company is vehemently specialist, or has some hatred for non-humans, it is just the way it has always been. If you want to play a non-human, that's fine but we ask that you play an 'Associate'.

Nor does the Company, differentiate between genders when it comes to roles or rank.

We encourage everyone who joins Black Company to play Heavy Infantry. This is the quintessential medieval ‘Men at Arms’. For the lighter of foot, we have Scouts and Rangers who form our Skirmisher unit. Everyone whatever their role starts off as a ‘Private’, through play and your actions, you may get promoted. In addition, you can play a ‘Specialist’ or an 'Associate' and still be part of the group.
