I wouldn't mind being a fence, but with a bit of a twist if I may :)?

Name: Sarina Mashir
Age: 25
Sex: Female
Appearance/Description(Anime pictures or not, all are accepted):

She is of average height, at about 5'6 and has very wide hips, a slim waist, small chest, a long neck, and slender shoulders.

Personality: Despite her lavish upbringing, Sarina is very level-headed and some might even say, shrewd. Her upper-class education provided her with an expansive knowledge of anatomy, politics, and artistry among other things, but these are the subjects she is most fond of. Sarina is an expert at using words to get her way, and enjoys verbal sparring much more than she enjoys real sparring. Having very little taste for violence, Sarina prefers quick and quiet methods if she has to resort to inflicting harm onto another being.

Preferred Weapon(s): Daggers, poisons

Abilities and Specialties: Information brokering, establishing less than legal trade relationships

Bio: Sarina grew up as the third daughter of an esteemed politician who had little more on his mind than establishing profitable connections. She supposes he is where she got her flair for such a skill. When Sarina was twenty-one her father had decided that she was to be a bargaining chip in his next business transaction, and was determined to marry her off to an even higher ranking politician who was old enough to need a cane and a lavatory assistant. A friend of her father's who had been fond of Sarina hinted that to extract herself from this situation she would have to offer her father a deal of equal or greater value, and that such a thing could be found without her having to even leave the house. This was how Sarina entered her first foray into the exciting field of information brokering. Through careful use of the household's servants she determined that her father had an unhealthy penchant for philandering with one of the cook's nubile assistants.

Her father invented a new form of displeasure when she presented him with the fact that she possessed this information, and was willing to let him buy it from her for a hefty sum. Otherwise she would give it to her mother, free of charge. Her mother, though merely a woman, was a volatile one and had brothers who wielded much more power than Sarina's father. Sarina left home with enough money to make a living on for a few years.

A year later she wed the man who had given her that fateful piece of advice, and found out that he was engaged extensively in profiteering both with goods and with secrets. An unconventional man, he brought her into the trade, trained her in its arts and helped her immerse herself fully in its embrace. Unsurprisingly, his trade made him quite a few enemies, and just a month after their second anniversary, Sarina's husband found himself pinned to a wall by an arrow shot straight through his skull.
Though she had never been in love with him, she was devastated at the loss of her best friend and partner in crime. However, Sarina had no qualms about shouldering the business all by herself, though her husband's early demise has left her wanting some form of security in her ventures.

So, is Sarina going to also have a few tricks up her sleeve, connections to higher-ups and all that? Quite the prize, quite the prize. Accepted.

I had the same thing planned for the doctor, being that he isn't really combat focused, I planned on him knowing many people because he was well a good doctor.

Well, since he should know a good lot about medicines and, more usefully, poisons, he should prove a viable asset. They just need to acquire materials, not the actual medicine!
Your character can be the one the thieves go to if they get an arrow through the foot. Or something like that.

Perhaps Sarina could have connections to the more corrupt upper echelon while the doctor is more well-versed in the power dynamics of underground operations? Or vise-versa? Either way, I don't mind sharing clientele.

So-
Sarina has access to politicians of the corrupt degree.
Dr. Roban has access to lower peoples, and past patients.

Jivu like.

Awesome!
So I was wondering what the general world environment is like? I'm assuming it's mostly medieval-y, but it would be great to have more details on things like what the main town/city is like, political factions of interest, the kind of social hierarchy present if at all etc. If this information is already somewhere and I somehow didn't notice it then I apologize, I'm still getting the hang of this forum.

Well, the main location the guild will be in is a city named Estherdame. There are no real happenings in the government anymore, though the economy is faltering. As for social hierarchy, it doesn't matter who you are. Esterdame is a diverse city, with too many people to worry about for such a small group of politicians. It's a republic, though a corrupt one. Full of lies, trickery, and plots. Though, aren't all governments?

However despite His new found path of life, He continued to steal from people be it rich or poor if he saw something he could turn a profit on he would steal it. However he did not go tumbling through pockets nor breaking into peoples Houses. No He used his status to manipulate others to hand over their valuables. Being a priest he could get close to people of all walks of life, and hide in plain sight. Though he was not above the law And could easily be arrested. his status has given him some breathing room from the towns guards and officials.
He had learnt some was to trick the mind and influence people with a few words, which was made easier by being a respectable public leader.
He had joined the guild at the age of 20 just before it started to diminish in strength and power, He saw the glory that the thieves of the city once knew and wished that one day they could rise again. to live the life of luxury once more...though he still had a very comfortable life. By the age of 32 he had advanced to Brother of the Order and at 44 He took over as Head Priest and Father of the Order Making him even more in the public eye. This of course didn't stop his other trade. Infect made it boom

Preferred Weapon: Words. He Believes that the Pen Is mightier than the sword And thievery is not for Violence, they are skilled professionals not common thugs
Abilities and Specialties: Manipulation of ones mind, Using his status to influence those around him to "give" to the needy or to help fund the Order.

I could like deliver messages or something? My character is a stealth expert so he could sneak in and out. If you have a better role that would be good too.

well if thats the case, I could easily change it from info broker.
I was thinking how my character would get access to the prison being a member of a religious order, so he could spring people from jail by leaving lock picks as well as scouting out buildings as people would freely invite my character in so he could look around?
