Two there should be; no more, no less. One to embody power, the other to crave it.
―Darth Bane
Here is where the current members will get all the basic information they need to know
Title requirements
Your title, in game and other places (if you chose) should look like this:
[Sith_Order]Rank_Name
or
[SO]Rank_Name
Either is fine.
Communication
Currently we are trying to determine what our form of communication will be. Right now Steam is our primary form as we are still getting organized. Possibilities include Skype and Teamspeak/Vent (which we are hoping for). But Steam is a requirement at the moment, and to join the Steam Group.
Training
When you first join you will be invited as an Initiate. Although you share a clan tag, you are not officially a Sith. This is the time to prove your worth and earn the title of Sith. In this phase, your fellow Initiates will be your allies, as well as your enemies. In order to progress, you must defeat adversaries present in the training session in a duel of best two out of three. If you fail, you can retry or give up and your name will be forgotten. If you pass, then it comes down to the Darth deciding if they approve or not. (This part is just to make sure no trolls are entering, and we have a group of mature, like minded players.) If the Darth does not approve, that is where your journey ends.
Ranking Up
There are numerous ways to rank up until you reach Marauder/Sorcerer. Here are the ways to rank up:
- Initiate->Acolyte: Pass the training that will be set up for you.
- Acolyte->Apprentice: Either become someone's apprentice, bring in two recruits, and be active. You can also rank up by preforming well in battles and duels.
- Apprentice->Marauder/Sorcerer: You may either challenge your master or a Marauder or Sorcerer to a duel. You must beat them in the best of a 2/3 duel, however if you lose once you must start all over. You may only challenge 4 times a week. There is no limit to when the 4 challenges can be. Your Master may also choose you to rank up if he feels your ready..
- Marauder/Sorcerer->Darth: Once again, you may follow the challenge rules or you may host up to five training sessions. But even meeting those requirements may not get you Darth. Darth is only for the extremely dedicated and even at meeting the requirements the council of Darth must meet and initiate you into the council and decide your worth.
Notice: Just being active and around and involved will also get you ranks!
Rules regarding force powers:
Currently, the only rules on force powers is a limitation on force lighting. Only Sith Sorcerers can use force lighting (Clan ranking). Most of us believe true power is attained by your ability to rely on our skill and dedication to the force. That being said, only those who have proven themselves worthy can use force lightning.
Ranking Structure(Descending):
Darth The Lord of the Sith. They serve on a council and together choose the direction that the Clan will go.
Marauder/SorcererTalented Sith who've proven their worth and are leaders on the battlefield. They may choose an apprentice to serve under them. At this time, a Sith must decide whether to be a Sorcerer or Marauder.
ApprenticeAn apprentice to the force, but equivalent in talent to a Jedi Knight. The heart of the Sith's warriors.
AcolyteA newly recognized Sith who has earned his weapon and place among the Order. At this point, they may be apprenticed.
Initiate An unofficial member of the Order who may bear the title of Initiate, but is not yet a Sith. Must pass training.
Rule of Two (Apprentices/Master):
Not every Sith abides by this rule, but the ones who do will always be with their master/apprentice in times of battle. A Master can only be a Darth, and an apprentice can be any rank ranging between Adept to Darth, there is no limitation. Just because you are an apprentice does not mean you are a low rank. In order to break apprenticeship, the master will either release the apprentice or the Apprentice slays his Master in a best two out of three duel. For organization purposes, a Darth Apprentice may not have an apprentice. In other words, you cannot be Master and Apprentice at the same time.
