Dunno if the mercs are playing a big part in your story (considering it's Sirius' group, I imagine "yes") but the funny thing is, I've been working on a mercenary group too (minus the Reapers and magic... unless you count Kineptic "magic") but for a potential RP idea sometime in the future. Not just mercenaries though. More like an "Agents For Hire". Merc work, subtrefuge, "legitimate" diplomacy, actual legitimate diplomacy, surveillance, bounty hunting, smuggling, secret-hoarding, etc. Multiple species in a futuristic setting. Got 7 characters partially planned out and haven't even come up with the name of their group x.x (Notes call it "The organization". Tempted to just keep it that way for mysteriousness.)
Well, yeah, they are. They're the group the story centers on.
The mercenaries are 'only part' mercenaries, by the way. They actually try and enact vigilante justice by culling major threats that the corrupt government of [city name TBD] won't/doesn't care to/is being paid not to do anything about. Stuff like Mafia, drug cartels, etc.
Hence the original "Chaotic Good" designation.
Call the city Mahtog Esrever!
And yeah, mine are probably more Chaotic Neutral. They do good things, they do bad things, basically they do whatever it's in their interests to do, unless it conflicts with [organization tenets/rules TBD] (stuff like killing without enough reason, causing major disruptions that would put eyes on the organization, and removal of free will (in most cases)) If they existed in the same universe, these guys would probably end up being equally part of the problem and part of the solution. And they would switch between the two haphazardly, possibly even both at once.

Argh. My screen was too bright earlier while playing a game and I got a headache and now my headphones are hurting my head :/
Since none but the most expensive headphones have foam to have them not press into your scalp, I've taken a small cut-out piece of furniture leg grip and placed it on top of my head to act like the foam... I'm not sure if it's making a difference, but I am 100% certain I look ridiculous.
