The Bodyguards

-So...why can only dragons join that unit?
-Eh...well.
-I'm sure you and me would do a better job protecting someone "important".
-Well...

The Bodyguards is a military unit headed by the Orders of this world. Most of those who hire them prefer it if the members of the unit that they hire are only Dragons.
Why wouldn't you want the strongest species to protect you?

HISTORY

When the orders started forming back in 0 RO some of them earned extra money by protecting important people who had to travel. These groups, within the orders, later became proper military units that the orders hired out to important people that needed them. Right now The Order of Monsterthorn is the Order that has the most units.

ARMOR

The military units wear different armor and outfits depending on which Order that they belong to. The Bodyguards in The Order of Monsterthorn wear black Dragon fabric undergarments and armor together with black knee high boots.

WEAPONRY

Like with the armor, it depends on the specific Order that the unit belongs to, however, most unit members should have at least one dagger and a short sword. Though, some unit members may have skills outside of the physical weapon sphere.

TACTICS

A person who only needs protection for a couple of hours will only have to hire one unit. If the important person needs protection for more than 6 hours they have to pay for at least 2 units so they can work in intervals. The Bodyguards need food, sleep, and a little time for themselves if they are to protect somebody with their full attention.

COMMAND STRUCTURE

There is one team leader, usually the senior member of the unit. The other three members have the same status and usually, they have different skills that complement each other.
