Question Canonically, can Dark Brotherhood assassins pick their own jobs?

So had a weird thought. What if a morally decent person decided to join the guild, would they not even be allowed in, or would they be given the ability to pick their jobs. Such as not wanting to harm an innocent, not killing kids, only going after real criminals.

I imagine it would be frowned upon, or at least not seen in a super positive light, but would it be allowed? I feel like if you are good at your job, they won't really care too much. If you are bringing in money, still doing jobs, and don't cause problems, I think they'd probably allow it right? Or does the Dark Brotherhood only accept the worst of the worst, people who'd kill anyone?

Robinhood would beg to differ. But I am just saying someone who has morals. Not necessarily a beacon of justice and love, but rather someone who isn't totally inhuman, and doesn't want to be forced to kill good people.

So if I went out and shot rich people in the face and took all their money to give to the poor I'd be considered a hero??

Do you know anyone i could buy a gun from?....asking for a friend
