SC2020 – The Crimson Guard

Early on the Crimson Guard was an honor guard who helped facilitate the various rituals within the faith of the Venerators of the Celestial Parents. They are named such because of the red paint the bear on their forehead. The Crimson Guard was selected from the champions of the ritualistic fighting. They showed both great devotion, great physical provass, but also good reactions to the drugs that are an important part of the inner workings of the faith. After the Wratazi wiped the city, the Crimson Guard helped distribute emergency aid as part of the service to the faith. Once the Venerators of the Celestial Parents took over the power in Jekross the Crimson Guard became the new defacto police of the great city. Painting yourself which with any shade of red on the forehead has become illegal and carries a sentence of several years in prison ever since then. The Crimson Guard answers to the high priest of the Venerators of the Celestial parents. Their primary objective is to make sure that no-one commits sacrilege against the Ancient structures. In Jekross there is always 2 Crimson Guards stationed at each of the ancient alien structures. Aside from that they also carry on the normal police duties of investigating various criminal acts. They do differ in their interrogation methods in that they often use drugs, especially for important cases. The drugs are both used to make the suspect more cooperative, but also used to enhance the perception of the interrogating officers. What has happened in Jekross has had a great effect on the Crimson Guards of other Great Cities. Due to the power of Jekross few has dared outright banning a Crimson Guard, but many have taken measures to limit their power. In other places the Crimson Guard has become the once you seek out, when the policy is too busy or when you do not trust the police.
