Primary Religion: Though the guild's founders originally intended for the group to follow Serenii; the wife of Zasmalsa, and the Goddess of Irony and Humor. However, with the mixed population of races, as well as many members not following any religion, they no longer require members to worship the goddess.

Requirements: Anyone can join. You just need a sense of humor and a strong stomach for violence.

Recruitment Process: Unfortunately, a lot of the members of Humerous get killed, either by the authorities, wild animals, or each other. Because of this, they're constantly recruiting new members from any and all races. Their recruitment process is three steps.

Step 1 includes breaking into a high-security prison and capturing all the prisoners. Step 2 includes having the now captured prisoners fight each other until at least half of them are dead, and then step three requires the survivors to tell a joke. If their joke is funny, they're accepted. If it isn't, they're killed.

Home Base: Scattered throughout Azoria, though with a higher concentration in a forest base close by Nobalitca.

History: Founded in the Forth Age, the group was originally charged with assassinating the God Emperor. However, before they were able to, the Emperor simply disappeared from the world. Naturally, Humerous stole all the credit for the disappearance, and instantly became the most famous group of Assassins in history. So long as there were pockets of gold and hatred in the world, Humerous always had a job. They became the most prominent during the end of the Crimson Terror when kingdoms were weak and barely kicking. The Guild has been responsible for the most famous assassinations in time, and also the most powerful.

Now, during the current age, work has slowed down to petty assassinations due to many lords and kings deciding that allowing assassins to do their dirty work was a sign of military and political weakness. With their biggest source of income backing out of the assassination business, Humerous has begun picking up side-jobs as well. For awhile, they sank so low as cut-purses and pick-pockets, but the famous Humerous could not stand such a petty life. Eventually they moved up to drugs and transporting illegal contraband, but now Humerous has found another booming market that they've quickly taken over.

The Slave Trade.

Humerous is a prominent figure in the underground slave market. They capture men and women from all races and sell them to the highest bidder. But never have they lost a single shred of their sense of humor. Humerous has invented a game they call "Run, Motherfucker!". Periodically, they release some of their captives and tell them to run. Then, after giving them a good head start, Humerous then hunts them down and kills them. Members score points based on the type of kill as well as the distance the target ran before crossing the "Safe Zone." Head shots score the lowest amount of points since that is an instant kill. The more wounds you inflict on your mark the before they die, the more points you score. Also, the closer they get to the "Safe Zone" before they die, the better. If a captive crosses the "Safe Zone" you are no longer able to chase them, though you can still shoot at them. You get a bonus if you kill them after they've passed, but lose all your points if you pass the safe zone yourself. Gotta be fair, right?

"Run, Motherfucker!" has become so popular among the members of Humerous that there have been times where they release all their captives, effectively killing any profit, but who cares about money when you're having fun?
