Amazonian guards - do you have any?

Postby Liberated Counties » Mon Jan 07, 2013 9:57 am

If you don't know, Amazonian guards are an elite cadre of exclusively female bodyguards, taught from a young age extensively in the art hand to hand combat, firearms, and occasionally (no sexism intended) housekeeping **EDIT while amazons aren't always used for house keeping, there have been occasions where Muammar Gadaffi used amazons as his maids, so that's just one use, I'm not sexist, so I strongly disagree with that use for female warriors.

Does your leader have an Amazonian guard? Or after reading this, to you plan to train a cadre of them?

The king has a team of 25 Amazonian guards, they are highly trained with firearms and in martial arts, they serve as the maids of the king, but can go from housekeeping to special forces within seconds if the kings life is in danger.

None of the Emperor's guards -- male or female -- are trained in housekeeping. But we do have Amazons (a matriarchal humanoid species with sexual dimorphism that causes the women to be much larger and more physically powerful than the men), and the Emperor's personal bodyguard is known to be half-gypsy, half-Amazon.

No, the high guard is as any other branch of the federal army entirely male and seeing how all of them are of noble birth so would a large part of them rather die than having to do their own food and keeping their own houses in shape all on their own.

Technically yes. The emperor's priestesses are specialised in the worship and service of the emperor himself and his harem if required. While their prime role is to serve the emperor and arrange rituals for him, they, like the entire priesthood of the imperial cult, are trained with various traditional weapons and martial arts, as well as the use of modern weapons. Although they are not as effective as properly-trained soldiers, and are not expected to fight unless necessary, they serve as the last line of defence of the emperor should everything else fails, and are also responsible for the security of the imperial palace.

There is such unit within our KGB, though nobody is really sure why they exist in the first place. It remains, well because nobody wants to do paperwork to disband it and reorganize things.

The Emperor's Kazvarden warriors have a nearly equal ratio of male and female. They are an ancient, elite, and prestigious order of warriors, that have served the House of Raegan since time immemorial. They do not cook or clean, they are not maids or man-servants, and to suggest so is liable to get you a fireball to the face.

The Personal Security Detachment (PSD) of the Executor is comprised of both men and women from the Freehold Military Force and Katzen National Police. We feel that to restrict a unit composition based purely on sex and gender is discriminatory and may otherwise exclude highly qualified candidates. Both the FMF and KNP are mixed-gender organisations (to include combat roles).

I have wifmenn in my heorþwerod, but most of my heorþgeneatas are not wifmenn, and whether they're wifmenn or not is not a qualifying factor. The qualifications are being the best of the best and being willing to die before breaking the oath to protect me. Nor are my heorþgeneatas servants; they're elite warriors with far better things to do with their time than pick up after me. In fact, the household staff takes care of my heorþwerodes needs of that nature just as they do mine.

There is a presidential honour guard - but that's as close as the country has to an elite military unit for protecting head officials, and no, females are not permitted to serve.

No, most Presidential Guardsdinos and Paladins as well as the vast majority of the Lifeguard are male. Only certain powerful female individuals in the past have had all, or predominately, female bodyguard units.

No.

However, 45% of Orran's military is indeed female, with plenty of those as officers who fought their way up the ranks. There are however, some women present in The blackguard.

So Women in elite, or exclusive forces? Oh yes, definitely.

No, there is no all-female unit in... all of the GWO's forces, really. There's a few females in the Grand Guardians, and actually quite a few Knights of Arditi are female- there's even female S.T.F. Agents (who are subordinate to the Order of Arditi).

for what? or culture is such that very little ever needs 'guarding'.

there is no gender bias in our law and security forces. and we certain have female officers who can kick assess when they have occasion too. of many of our multiple diversity of sapient species.
truth isn't what i say. isn't what you say. isn't what anybody says. truth is what is there, when no one is saying anything.
