Led by the Sheriff: Eddie Sasaki (kyil dexler)
Purely a service offered to Mercy, the Law is just that... the law. Led by the Sheriff with his marshals, they protect the commodities that Mercy depends on to survive. Water cannot be contaminated and the flow cannot be impeded. The farmlands and livestock must be protected from theft. Humans must sometimes be protected from other humans. This is where the Law comes into play. The Sheriff sits on a council with all other leads, though there are some rights the Sheriff has over the other leaders: ensuring safety is maintained. When a person is accused of a crime, it is the Sheriff and his men that must decide if the offense happened and then propose a punishment if the town finds the accused guilty. While the council still votes on the punishment, the Law will carry out whatever sentence is imposed. The Law is guaranteed their choice of a firearm from the available selection and will always be present with it (unless noted in RP).
As the Law is tasked with the safety and security of Mercy, only Freelanders can apply directly at the start to be in the faction. However, all others may roleplay their interest and intent to join the law once in play.
Anyone can apply to be a part of the Law. Please reach out to the Sheriff should you have any questions.
