JaM3z: Staff XP

{{Master at Arms}}
{{Eras|real}}

This XP Policy outlines how a member can earn XP in the experience system. This policy is approved by the Grand Master and is enforced for integrity by the Dark Council.

===XP Based Awarding===

Promotions and Medals can be awarded based on XP earned from the site-tracked activities listed below (e.g., competitions, crescents, clusters, SA courses, etc.). XP used to award a medal is called "Medal XP" and is equal to the member's lifetime XP value, excluding any corrections minus the full value of their combined merit and sacramental awards. Promotions do not reset Medal XP, '''nor do Medals reset Promotion XP'''.

Members can receive a medal with an XP value equal to their accrued Medal XP. Medals awarded solely based on Medal XP do not award additional XP. However, DB activity that is not tracked by the site and automatically credited with XP, such as project and leadership work, can also contribute towards medals as explained below:

Without further justification, leaders can award medals with a value less than or equal to a member’s Medal XP. Medals with a value less than or equal to Medal XP do '''not grant additional XP''' to the receiving member because the underlying activities have already done so.

If a member has leadership or project activity that leaders want to recognize with a medal, with or without any accrued Medal XP, they can submit a medal recommendation for approval by the MAA detailing what that member has done – much like the old medal system.

If an approved medal '''exceeds''' the member’s Medal XP, then the medal '''will grant additional XP''' at least equal to the difference between the medal’s value and the member’s Medal XP. The total XP earned is equal to the value of non-site-tracked XP applied to the medal.

===Elder Promotions===

Promotions to the ranks of [[EL3|Elder 3]] and [[EL4|Elder 4]] are subject to additional requirements:

At least three years aggregate time as a Consul (or independent unit leader) or member of the Council. Simply holding a position is not sufficient. Consideration will be given to a member's contributions to the club as well as whether their time-in-position was active or inactive. Highly impactful work in positions other than Consul or Council may also be considered.

Further, the member's sacramental awards will be reviewed to ensure that they are justified by their recommendations, as some high sacramentals have been awarded in years past for as little as winning a single competition. The value of any medals that do not pass this review will be reduced or deducted from the member's XP total solely for purposes of determining whether the member meets the required XP threshold.

===Elder Promotions===

Promotions to the rank of [[EL3|Elder 3]] and beyond are subject to additional requirements. They are based primarily around member contributions to their clan and the club as a whole.

Looking at recent examples of [https://www.darkjedibrotherhood.com/events?q%5Btarget_name_cont%5D=&q%5Btarget_id_eq%5D=&q%5Btarget_root_unit_id_eq%5D=&q%5Btype_eq_any%5D%5B%5D=&q%5Btype_eq_any%5D%5B%5D=PromotionEvent&q%5Badmin_date_gteq%5D=&q%5Badmin_date_lteq%5D=&commit=Search Elder promotions] is a good method of learning what other members who hold that rank did to earn it.

The elite of the [[Grand Master's Royal Guard]] are paragons of skill and dedication. These ten Guardsmen demonstrate the highest levels of combat readiness and situational awareness. It is these exemplary warriors that are trusted to guard the Grand Master and the Dark Council. As a reward for their service each Dark Councilor grants an accessory to the Guardsman assigned to them.

This serves as a historical reference of all Dark Council Guardsman Accessories and the distinguished individuals who have the privilege of carrying these unique items.

===Medal Awarding===
Medals can be awarded based on XP earned from the site-tracked activities listed above (e.g., competitions, crescents, clusters, SA courses, etc.). XP used to award a medal is called "Medal XP" and is equal to the a member's lifetime XP value excluding any corrections minus the full value of their combined merit and sacramental awards. Promotions to do not reset Medal XP.

A member can receive a medal with an XP value equal to their accrued Medal XP. Medals awarded solely based on Medal XP do not award additional XP. However, DB activity that is not tracked by the site and automatically credited with XP, such as project and leadership work, can also contribute towards medals as explained below:

Leaders can award medals with a '''value less than or equal''' to a member’s Medal XP without further justification. Medals with a value '''less than or equal''' to Medal XP do '''not grant additional XP''' to the receiving member because the underlying activities have already done so.

If a member has leadership or project activity that leaders want to recognize with a medal, with or without any accrued Medal XP, they can submit a medal recommendation for approval by the MAA detailing what that member has done – much like the old medal system.

If an approved medal '''exceeds''' the member’s Medal XP, then the medal '''will grant additional XP''' at least equal to the difference between the medal’s value and the member’s Medal XP. The total XP earned is equal to the value of non-site-tracked XP applied to the medal.

===Elder Promotions===

Promotions to the rank of [[EL1|Elder 1]] and beyond are not based on XP. They are based primarily around member contributions to their clan and the club as a whole.

Looking at recent examples of [https://www.darkjedibrotherhood.com/events?q%5Btarget_name_cont%5D=&q%5Btarget_id_eq%5D=&q%5Btarget_root_unit_id_eq%5D=&q%5Btype_eq_any%5D%5B%5D=&q%5Btype_eq_any%5D%5B%5D=PromotionEvent&q%5Badmin_date_gteq%5D=&q%5Badmin_date_lteq%5D=&commit=Search Elder promotions] is a good method of learning what other members who hold that rank did to earn it.

===Medal Awarding===
Medals can be awarded based on XP earned from the site-tracked activities listed above (e.g., competitions, crescents, clusters, SA courses, etc.). XP used to award a medal is called "Medal XP" and is equal to the amount of XP a member has earned since their last medal. Promotions to do not reset Medal XP.

A member can receive a medal with an XP value equal to their accrued Medal XP. Medals awarded solely based on Medal XP do not award additional XP. However, DB activity that is not tracked by the site and automatically credited with XP, such as project and leadership work, can also contribute towards medals as explained below:

Leaders can award medals with a '''value less than or equal''' to a member’s Medal XP without further justification. Medals with a value '''less than or equal''' to Medal XP do '''not grant additional XP''' to the receiving member because the underlying activities have already done so.

If a member has leadership or project activity that leaders want to recognize with a medal, with or without any accrued Medal XP, they can submit a medal recommendation for approval by the MAA detailing what that member has done – much like the old medal system.

If an approved medal '''exceeds''' the member’s Medal XP, then the medal '''will grant additional XP''' equal to the difference between the medal’s value and the member’s Medal XP.

Finally, medals awarded '''solely''' based on non-site-tracked activity do not reset Medal XP.

===Elder Promotions===

Promotions to the rank of [[EL1|Elder 1]] and beyond are not based on XP. They are based primarily around member contributions to their clan and the club as a whole.

Looking at recent examples of [https://www.darkjedibrotherhood.com/events?q%5Btarget_name_cont%5D=&q%5Btarget_id_eq%5D=&q%5Btarget_root_unit_id_eq%5D=&q%5Btype_eq_any%5D%5B%5D=&q%5Btype_eq_any%5D%5B%5D=PromotionEvent&q%5Badmin_date_gteq%5D=&q%5Badmin_date_lteq%5D=&commit=Search Elder promotions] is a good method of learning what other members who hold that rank did to earn it.

Leaders can award medals with a '''value less than or equal''' to a member’s accrued XP-since-last-medal without further justification. Medals with a value '''less than or equal''' to accrued XP-since-last-medal do '''not grant XP''' to the receiving member.

If a member has non-site-tracked activity that leaders want to recognize with a medal, with or without site-tracked activity, they will submit a medal recommendation for approval by the MAA detailing what that member has done – much like the current system.

If the approved medal '''exceeds''' the member’s accrued XP-since-last-'''medal''', then the medal '''will grant XP''' equal to the difference between the medal’s value and the member’s accrued XP-since-last-recognition.

* Using the [[DJBWiki:Character_Page_Template|Character Page Template]], complete a quality character article. Contact the Wiki Staff to review your completed wiki page for approval

== Equite & Beyond ==
Promotions beyond [[JM4]] are decided on a case-by-case basis, and not on the basis of activities lists (like Novitiate/Journeyman ranks). The [[Master at Arms]] looks at the whole record of the prospective promotee including but not limited to competitions entered and hosted, medals awarded and why, projects completed, leadership, and administrative experience. The latter two often holding a greater weight with each subsequent rank. Attitude and how one interacts with the larger Brotherhood also plays a role as it represents ones growth and maturity in the club. Strive to establish your strengths and never be afraid to test your weaknesses.

The time in rank and leadership (or equivalent) requirements listed below are intended to be minimums, and it is unlikely that a member would be promoted early, and virtually impossible that a member would be promoted without fulfilling some sort of leader or project role. Rare members will meet expectations early, but most members will take at least the time provided and usually longer.

Overall activity since a member's previous promotion is the most important factor - but consideration is also given to time factors. For example, an [[Equite 1]] with a year in grade
that has gone through a long period of inactivity (say six months) - is unlikely to be promoted after just a week or two of activity.

<center>
{| table class="fancy" width="700px" align="center"
|-
| class="sub-head" | '''Rank'''
| class="sub-head" | '''Minimums'''
|-
| Equite 1
| 2 months minimum; 4 months average sustained activity
|-
| Equite 2
| 4 months minimum; 6 months average sustained activity
|-
| Equite 3
| 6 months minimum; 12 months average sustained activity; 3 months of CON-level leadership or equivalent
|-
| Equite 4
| 8 months minimum; 16 months average sustained activity; 6 months of CON-level leadership or equivalent
|}
</center>

Holding a leadership or administrative position in the Brotherhood is an important achievement for a member, and it also serves as an important marker for evaluating member progress by the [[Master at Arms]] staff. We do recognize that direct unit leadership is not always possible, either through a lack of opportunity, or a desire to do something else. This should not adversely hamper a member's chances for promotion. Therefore some equivalencies to three months (these are all predicated on the notion that the member is successful and active in their role) as a [[Consul]] are:
* Six months as either [[Proconsul]] or [[Quaestor]]
* Seven months as a [[Aedile]]
* Nine months as a [[Battle Team Leader]]
* Nine months as a [[Rollmaster]]
* Six months as a [[Praetor]]
* Nine months as a [[Magistrate]], Shadow Academy [[Professor]] or [[Docent]], or Antei Combat Centre Judge

There are other positioned and non-positioned activities that a member can engage in that are in keeping with the spirit of the above. These include (but are not limited) to: working and actively contributing to the large-scale Brotherhood projects, large-scale Clan projects, working on the Brotherhood wiki, non-positioned [[Shadow Academy]] service, and mentoring members to the rank of Professional/Captain/Knight. It is important that members wishing to progress start to engage in activities that move beyond that of a competing (and even winning) regular member - but that work need not be a position - so long as it is demonstrated that they have contributed to the greater clan/Brotherhood.

Further, all of the above positions and associated timelines are meant to show transparency in the Master at Arms staff thought processes. There is no guarantee that a member will be promoted upon hitting the number of days in a position.

Looking at recent examples of Equite promotions is a good method of learning what other members who hold that rank did to earn it.

=== Clarifying notes ===
The Trials of Identity and Acquisition, while noted on dossiers as Shadow Academy Courses, do not count towards the number of Shadow Academy Courses in the above promotion guidelines

== Equite & Beyond ==
Promotions beyond [[JM4]] are decided on a case-by-case basis, and not on the basis of activities lists (like Novitiate/Journeyman ranks). The [[Master at Arms]] looks at the whole record of the prospective promotee including but not limited to competitions entered and hosted, medals awarded and why, projects completed, leadership, and administrative experience. The latter two often holding a greater weight with each subsequent rank. Attitude and how one interacts with the larger Brotherhood also plays a role as it represents ones growth and maturity in the club. Strive to establish your strengths and never be afraid to test your weaknesses.

The time in rank and leadership (or equivalent) requirements listed below are intended to be minimums, and it is unlikely that a member would be promoted early, and virtually impossible that a member would be promoted without fulfilling some sort of leader or project role. Rare members will meet expectations early, but most members will take at least the time provided and usually longer.

Overall activity since a member's previous promotion is the most important factor - but consideration is also given to time factors. For example, an [[Equite 1]] with a year in grade
that has gone through a long period of inactivity (say six months) - is unlikely to be promoted after just a week or two of activity.

<center>
{| table class="fancy" width="700px" align="center"
|-
| class="sub-head" | '''Rank'''
| class="sub-head" | '''Minimums'''
|-
| Equite 1
| 2 months minimum; 4 months average sustained activity
|-
| Equite 2
| 4 months minimum; 6 months average sustained activity
|-
| Equite 3
| 6 months minimum; 12 months average sustained activity; 3 months of CON-level leadership or equivalent
|-
| Equite 4
| 8 months minimum; 16 months average sustained activity; 6 months of CON-level leadership or equivalent
|}
</center>

Holding a leadership or administrative position in the Brotherhood is an important achievement for a member, and it also serves as an important marker for evaluating member progress by the [[Master at Arms]] staff. We do recognize that direct unit leadership is not always possible, either through a lack of opportunity, or a desire to do something else. This should not adversely hamper a member's chances for promotion. Therefore some equivalencies to three months (these are all predicated on the notion that the member is successful and active in their role) as a [[Consul]] are:
* Six months as either [[Proconsul]] or [[Quaestor]]
* Seven months as a [[Aedile]]
* Nine months as a [[Battle Team Leader]]
* Nine months as a [[Rollmaster]]
* Six months as a [[Praetor]]
* Nine months as a [[Magistrate]], Shadow Academy [[Professor]] or [[Docent]], or Antei Combat Centre Judge

There are other positioned and non-positioned activities that a member can engage in that are in keeping with the spirit of the above. These include (but are not limited) to: working and actively contributing to the large-scale Brotherhood projects, large-scale Clan projects, working on the Brotherhood wiki, non-positioned [[Shadow Academy]] service, and mentoring members to the rank of Professional/Captain/Knight. It is important that members wishing to progress start to engage in activities that move beyond that of a competing (and even winning) regular member - but that work need not be a position - so long as it is demonstrated that they have contributed to the greater clan/Brotherhood.

Further, all of the above positions and associated timelines are meant to show transparency in the Master at Arms staff thought processes. There is no guarantee that a member will be promoted upon hitting the number of days in a position.

Looking at recent examples of Equite promotions is a good method of learning what other members who hold that rank did to earn it.

=== Clarifying notes ===
The Trials of Identity and Acquisition, while noted on dossiers as Shadow Academy Courses, do not count towards the number of Shadow Academy Courses in the above promotion guidelines

== Equite & Beyond ==
Promotions beyond [[JM4]] are decided on a case-by-case basis, and not on the basis of activities lists (like Novitiate/Journeyman ranks). The [[Master at Arms]] looks at the whole record of the prospective promotee including but not limited to competitions entered and hosted, medals awarded and why, projects completed, leadership, and administrative experience. The latter two often holding a greater weight with each subsequent rank. Attitude and how one interacts with the larger Brotherhood also plays a role as it represents ones growth and maturity in the club. Strive to establish your strengths and never be afraid to test your weaknesses.

The time in rank and leadership (or equivalent) requirements listed below are intended to be minimums, and it is unlikely that a member would be promoted early, and virtually impossible that a member would be promoted without fulfilling some sort of leader or project role. Rare members will meet expectations early, but most members will take at least the time provided and usually longer.

Overall activity since a member's previous promotion is the most important factor - but consideration is also given to time factors. For example, an [[Equite 1]] with a year in grade
that has gone through a long period of inactivity (say six months) - is unlikely to be promoted after just a week or two of activity.

<center>
{| table class="fancy" width="700px" align="center"
|-
| class="sub-head" | '''Rank'''
| class="sub-head" | '''Minimums'''
|-
| Equite 1
| 2 months minimum; 4 months average sustained activity
|-
| Equite 2
| 4 months minimum; 6 months average sustained activity
|-
| Equite 3
| 6 months minimum; 12 months average sustained activity; 3 months of CON-level leadership or equivalent
|-
| Equite 4
| 8 months minimum; 16 months average sustained activity; 6 months of CON-level leadership or equivalent
|}
</center>

Holding a leadership or administrative position in the Brotherhood is an important achievement for a member, and it also serves as an important marker for evaluating member progress by the [[Master at Arms]] staff. We do recognize that direct unit leadership is not always possible, either through a lack of opportunity, or a desire to do something else. This should not adversely hamper a member's chances for promotion. Therefore some equivalencies to three months (these are all predicated on the notion that the member is successful and active in their role) as a [[Consul]] are:
* Six months as either [[Proconsul]] or [[Quaestor]]
* Seven months as a [[Aedile]]
* Nine months as a [[Battle Team Leader]]
* Nine months as a [[Rollmaster]]
* Six months as a [[Praetor]]
* Nine months as a [[Magistrate]], Shadow Academy [[Professor]] or [[Docent]], or Antei Combat Centre Judge

There are other positioned and non-positioned activities that a member can engage in that are in keeping with the spirit of the above. These include (but are not limited) to: working and actively contributing to the large-scale Brotherhood projects, large-scale Clan projects, working on the Brotherhood wiki, non-positioned [[Shadow Academy]] service, and mentoring members to the rank of Professional/Captain/Knight. It is important that members wishing to progress start to engage in activities that move beyond that of a competing (and even winning) regular member - but that work need not be a position - so long as it is demonstrated that they have contributed to the greater clan/Brotherhood.

Further, all of the above positions and associated timelines are meant to show transparency in the Master at Arms staff thought processes. There is no guarantee that a member will be promoted upon hitting the number of days in a position.

Looking at recent examples of Equite promotions is a good method of learning what other members who hold that rank did to earn it.

=== Clarifying notes ===
The Trials of Identity and Acquisition, while noted on dossiers as Shadow Academy Courses, do not count towards the number of Shadow Academy Courses in the above promotion guidelines

[[File:Trialofaquisition-1.png|thumb|150px|Choose one of the three color options to start.]]

All three options are the same functionable item and can be modified later, including the color of the lightsaber, which is controlled by the Aspects system of Possessions.

‘’Editor's Note: Lightsabers can be used by Non-Force users, albeit without the benefit of [https://wiki.darkjedibrotherhood.com/view/CS_Guide:_Lightsaber_Forms Lightsaber Forms]’’

All Journeymen, both Force Users and Non-Force Users alike, are granted a choice of either of the following ships (valued at 10,000 credits):

The choice is yours, and yours alone. Keep in mind that if you change your mind down the line, you can always sell back the ship.

The following guidelines have been set forth as the path for members to follow on their journey through the ranks.

== Equite & Beyond ==
Promotions beyond [[JM4]] are decided on a case-by-case basis, and not on the basis of activities lists (like Novitiate/Journeyman ranks). The [[Master at Arms]] looks at the whole record of the prospective promotee including but not limited to competitions entered and hosted, medals awarded and why, projects completed, leadership, and administrative experience. The latter two often holding a greater weight with each subsequent rank. Attitude and how one interacts with the larger Brotherhood also plays a role as it represents ones growth and maturity in the club. Strive to establish your strengths and never be afraid to test your weaknesses.

The time in rank and leadership (or equivalent) requirements listed below are intended to be minimums, and it is unlikely that a member would be promoted early, and virtually impossible that a member would be promoted without fulfilling some sort of leader or project role. Rare members will meet expectations early, but most members will take at least the time provided and usually longer.

Overall activity since a member's previous promotion is the most important factor - but consideration is also given to time factors. For example, an [[Equite 1]] with a year in grade
that has gone through a long period of inactivity (say six months) - is unlikely to be promoted after just a week or two of activity.

<center>
{| table class="fancy" width="700px" align="center"
|-
| class="sub-head" | '''Rank'''
| class="sub-head" | '''Minimums'''
|-
| Equite 1
| 2 months minimum; 4 months average sustained activity
|-
| Equite 2
| 4 months minimum; 6 months average sustained activity
|-
| Equite 3
| 6 months minimum; 12 months average sustained activity; 3 months of CON-level leadership or equivalent
|-
| Equite 4
| 8 months minimum; 16 months average sustained activity; 6 months of CON-level leadership or equivalent
|}
</center>

Holding a leadership or administrative position in the Brotherhood is an important achievement for a member, and it also serves as an important marker for evaluating member progress by the [[Master at Arms]] staff. We do recognize that direct unit leadership is not always possible, either through a lack of opportunity, or a desire to do something else. This should not adversely hamper a member's chances for promotion. Therefore some equivalencies to three months (these are all predicated on the notion that the member is successful and active in their role) as a [[Consul]] are:
* Six months as either [[Proconsul]] or [[Quaestor]]
* Seven months as a [[Aedile]]
* Nine months as a [[Battle Team Leader]]
* Nine months as a [[Rollmaster]]
* Six months as a [[Praetor]]
* Nine months as a [[Magistrate]], Shadow Academy [[Professor]] or [[Docent]], or Antei Combat Centre Judge

There are other positioned and non-positioned activities that a member can engage in that are in keeping with the spirit of the above. These include (but are not limited) to: working and actively contributing to the large-scale Brotherhood projects, large-scale Clan projects, working on the Brotherhood wiki, non-positioned [[Shadow Academy]] service, and mentoring members to the rank of Professional/Captain/Knight. It is important that members wishing to progress start to engage in activities that move beyond that of a competing (and even winning) regular member - but that work need not be a position - so long as it is demonstrated that they have contributed to the greater clan/Brotherhood.

Further, all of the above positions and associated timelines are meant to show transparency in the Master at Arms staff thought processes. There is no guarantee that a member will be promoted upon hitting the number of days in a position.

Looking at recent examples of Equite promotions is a good method of learning what other members who hold that rank did to earn it.

=== Clarifying notes ===
The Trials of Identity and Acquisition, while noted on dossiers as Shadow Academy Courses, do not count towards the number of Shadow Academy Courses in the above promotion guidelines

== Equite & Beyond ==
Promotions beyond [[JM4]] are decided on a case-by-case basis, and not on the basis of activities lists (like Novitiate/Journeyman ranks). The [[Master at Arms]] looks at the whole record of the prospective promotee including but not limited to competitions entered and hosted, medals awarded and why, projects completed, leadership, and administrative experience. The latter two often holding a greater weight with each subsequent rank. Attitude and how one interacts with the larger Brotherhood also plays a role as it represents ones growth and maturity in the club. Strive to establish your strengths and never be afraid to test your weaknesses.

The time in rank and leadership (or equivalent) requirements listed below are intended to be minimums, and it is unlikely that a member would be promoted early, and virtually impossible that a member would be promoted without fulfilling some sort of leader or project role. Rare members will meet expectations early, but most members will take at least the time provided and usually longer. Activity is expected to be recent. A member who has been an [[Equite 1]] for over a year but only returned to active status two months ago is unlikely to be promoted. Large scale activity may make up for time in rank, however, including Brotherhood wide vendettas or prolonged projects that reach conclusion.

<center>
{| table class="fancy" width="700px" align="center"

| class="sub-head" | '''Rank'''
| class="sub-head" | '''Minimums'''

|-
| Equite 4
| 8 months minimum; 16 months average sustained activity; 6 months of CON-level leadership or equivalent
|}
</center>

Holding a leadership or administrative position in the Brotherhood is an important achievement for a member, and it also serves as an important marker for evaluating member progress by the [[Master at Arms]] staff. We do recognize that direct unit leadership is not always possible, either through a lack of opportunity, or a desire to do something else. This should not adversely hamper a member's chances for promotion. Therefore some equivalencies to three months (these are all predicated on the notion that the member is successful and active in their role) as a [[Consul]] are:
* Six months as either [[Proconsul]] or [[Quaestor]]
* Seven months as a [[Aedile]]
* Nine months as a [[Battle Team Leader]]
* Nine months as a [[Rollmaster]]
* Six months as a [[Praetor]]
* Nine months as a [[Magistrate]], Shadow Academy [[Professor]] or [[Docent]], or Antei Combat Centre Judge

There are other positioned and non-positioned activities that a member can engage in that are in keeping with the spirit of the above. These include (but are not limited) to: working and actively contributing to the large-scale Brotherhood projects, large-scale Clan projects, working on the Brotherhood wiki, non-positioned [[Shadow Academy]] service, and mentoring member to the rank of Professional/Captain/Knight. It is important that members wishing to progress start to engage in activities that move beyond that of a competing (and even winning) regular member - but that work need not be a position - so long as it is demonstrated that they have contributed to the great clan/Brotherhood.

Further, all of the above positions and associated timelines are meant to show transparency in the Master at Arms staff thought processes. There is no guarantee that a member will be promoted upon hitting the number of days in a position.

Looking at recent examples of Equite promotions is a good method of learning what other members who hold that rank did to earn it.

Leaders looking to submit an Equite promotion are encouraged to first contact the Master at Arms to determine the member’s eligibility while consulting the [[MAA Policy: Writing Recommendations]] examples.

=== Competitions ===
In order for a competition to count towards a promotion, it must meet the following criteria:
* Award 4th level Crescents or higher
* The competition will count towards the promotion requirement only once it has been completed, scored, and awards have gone out
* For the purposes of counting competitions, the Promotheus tool general keeps track of these competitions. This has not always been the case, and the website note displaying all of a member's participation must not impede their progress. When recommending a promotion for a member, simply note that the website is incorrect.

=== Clarifying notes ===
The Trials of Identity and Acquisition, while noted on dossiers as Shadow Academy Courses, do not count towards the number of Shadow Academy Courses in the above promotion guidelines

'''The Shroud Syndicate''' is the premiere criminal organization operating in [[Dark Brotherhood]] space. It involves many smaller gangs, crews, and criminal combines within its area of operation, it is lead by the [[Herald]], and operates from the [[Shroud|Shroud Nebula]] where their massive ship, the [[Godless Matron]], makes berth. The organization is involved in almost every major black market deal that happens in Dark Brotherhood space.

== Fiction ==
=== History of the Shroud Syndicate ===
[[File:Smugglers-ShroudSyn.jpg|thumb|250px|left|Smugglers in aggressive negotiations]]
The Shroud Syndicate was created in 34 ABY by the [[Herald]] at the time, [[Morgan B. Sorenn]], and her associates. Its inception predates its creation by several years, to a previous attempt by the wayward pirate captain to create a wide-spread conglomerate of criminals, cutthroats, and bounty hunters. She failed then, but her opportunity came in the form of financial backing from the [[Dark Council]], and their leader [[Grand Master]] [[Pravus]]. Under the Dark Council's wing and jurisdiction, the Herald set off to consolidate and re-organize the disparate criminal groups, first withing and around the Shroud Nebula, and then on into wider Brotherhood space.

Through various influences and deals, she managed to acquire a large ship, the [[Godless Matron]], and sent it to Arx Space Yards for retrofitting and repair. With no time to lose, and only after a month of repairs, the ship flew out of drydock and headed for places unknown. It reemerged from the Shroud Nebula months later, several thousand crew members strong. The herald finally had an army at her disposal and her domination of the criminal underworld began.

=== Operations ===
{{Main|Godless Matron}}
[[File:Matron-deal.png|thumb|250px|right|Pirate ship docking with the ''Matron'']]
The Shroud Syndicate operates as any syndicate should. Its integrity is based on cooperation between the strongest crews and gangs who control the trade of spice, illegal commodities from the vastness of the galaxy, and artifacts from the now desolate [[Antei system]]. Their influence spreads throughout known space and even into Unknown regions where Dark Brotherhood Clans hold sway. Many bounty hunters, mercenaries, pirates, smugglers, and other less-than-civilized individuals work within the syndicate, either as crews or as individuals, the Syndicate itself providing services to them in return.

However, even the crews that seem to lead the organization, answer to the [[Herald]], who inadvertently answers directly to the [[Grand Master]]. Most of the profits from trade deals that the Herald acquires across the Syndicate, end up in the Dark Council's coffers and fuel its war machine and never-ending need for recruits and technology. Despite this, however, the Shroud Syndicate is adverse to control and is often left to its own dealings and machinations, internal struggles and politics, if only to avoid any further instability or outright revolt in the system. The criminals themselves are mostly unruly, or free-thinkers who don't stand for some over-bearing power that controls their destiny, and as long as the Dark Council's coffers are full, they tend to leave the low-lives to themselves.

The fact that the Dark Council still holds sway over all of it is kept a complete secret from the common folk, and the Herald subdues any rumors that crop up with extreme prejudice. Most simply dismiss the fact that "some lightning-shooting crazies" dominate the leadership, though conspiracies have been known to exist, and at times they have been rampant.

== Rank System ==

To become a member of the Shroud Syndicate, you must first pass this Course which covers the basics of the Society. Once passed, you will be added to the roster of the Shroud Syndicate as one of its many members. Through contributions to the goals of the Brotherhood or their Clans, or acts of service or skill, members will find themselves climbing through the ranks of the society. You will be able to advance in the Syndicate by participating in, or winning, competitions and acquiring Clusters of Graphite through other contributions. For more information check [[Cluster of Graphite]]. Additional advancement is available for shows of skill with placements in these activities, or through service to the Brotherhood by running these competitions to provide the opportunities, or by holding different positions in the Herald’s office. The Society Points Chart below covers all the different ways to earn points.

=== Shroud Syndicate Ranks ===

The Syndicate is organized into five tiers comprising twelve different ranks. As a member advances through the ranks they will find different perks become available both fictionally and for show. The Rank Chart below covers the points required for each rank and associated perks.

==== Womp rat (Ranks I through IV) ====

Everyone starts from somewhere and in the Shroud Syndicate that usually means from the bottom. Womp rats, the first tier of membership in the society, are given menial tasks, such as stealing, scouting probable targets for theri gangs, or selling the most basic contraband on the streets. They are the basic thugs no organization can live without. Usually found as part of pirate crews, smuggling rings, or street gangs.

==== Rook (Ranks V through VII) ====

Sometimes Womp rats can become trusted members of their gang or crew once they prove themselves to their boss. These newly christened Rooks are tough enough to become lower ranking officers on their ships or gangs. They can also become individual professionals in the Syndicate’s employ, striking out to chase their own means of profit.

==== Enforcer (Rank VIII and X) ====

Enforcers are the leaders of smaller gangs, lieutenants or officers of pirate ships, well known bounty hunters or smugglers, or other famous individuals within the Syndicate. Trusted among their peers and superiors as competent individuals, many Enforcers are tasked with leading criminal operations on whole planets. Many of them become top level bounty hunters or smugglers that only the wealthiest clients can afford.

==== Underboss (Rank XI) ====

Just one rank removed from glory, the Underboss is a rare breed of criminal, often taking control of Syndicate operations in one or multiple star systems or controlling multiple ships or crews. Underbosses are trusted and often feared personas in the Syndicate, more often than not seen as the voice of the boss they serve. They are respected and adored in equal measure, as they are the bridge between the boss and the henchmen.

==== Boss (Rank XII) ====

The highest rank an individual can achieve without being the overall leader of the syndicate. These individuals are feared for their cunning and brutality - after all it takes a special kind of person to reach the heights they have. Often leading multiple ships or small armadas, or controlling whole sectors of criminal operation, Bosses demand respect from their crews and companions. These individuals hold the most power and move the various pieces in the proverbial chess game that is the Shroud Syndicate.

* '''Syndicate Holoshroud''': The Syndicate Holoshroud is an advanced version of a holoprojector capable of overlaying a stored image on an item or person. It is small enough to be worn on a belt, capable of storing one specific image to project, with enough power for several minutes of projection.

* '''Lightsaber Pistol''': The Lightsaber Pistol is a type of lightsaber weapon designed by those who sought to conceal their relationship with the Force, unable to rely on their lightsaber openly when a weapon still may be needed. In addition emitting a plasma blade from the hilt, powered by a crystal that determined its characteristics and color, it had a second emitter that released the weapon's energy as a projectile similar to that of a blaster bolt. However, since this energy is not encased by the focusing field, in the same way the blade is, it rapidly weakens as it travels to the target. While the powerful blade could be wielded as both an offensive and defensive weapon, capable of cutting through virtually anything, the short-range shots from the blaster would only stun or shock the target.

The Inquisitorius is the secret society of agents formed from the ranks of Brotherhood [[Clans]] that has been tasked with identifying, hunting down and eliminating threats to the Dark Brotherhood. Inquisitors are granted access to the Dark Brotherhood’s greatest secrets and technologies in order to execute the [[Grand Master]]’s will against internal and external threats.

== History of the Inquisitorius ==

The Inquisitorius was a society formally established around [[30 ABY to 39 ABY|33 ABY]] by [[Grand Master]] [[Darth Pravus]]. It was formed following the [[Eleventh Great Jedi War]] as a way to protect the Iron Throne with a severely crippled fleet and army. It became clear that the [[Dark Council]] needed to address threats in a more systematic fashion. Darth Pravus turned to his [[Voice of the Brotherhood]], [[Evant Taelyan]], and tasked him with making his vision of a secret society a reality.

Potential agents of the Inquisitorius were identified by showing loyalty and service to the Brotherhood or their Clan. Once identified, they were put through a period of evaluation to determine if they were reliable and powerful enough to carry out the responsibilities of the Inquisitorius society. Then, once inducted, continued acts or loyalty in service to the Dark Jedi Brotherhood would see them elevated in the society to higher ranks.

== Operations ==

* [https://www.darkjedibrotherhood.com/factions/inquisitorius Inquisitirious Faction Information]

=== First Initiative ===

In the beginning, movements and actions of the society took place in secret, behind closed doors and in a classified nature. As such, many of the accomplishments of its members were never known to the outside world. Yet, advancement and reward were given within the society itself. Protection of the hand moving in the shadows was itself of the utmost importance to the safety of the Brotherhood.

While the members of the society all worked together towards the Grand Master's means, the Inquisitorius were completely decentralized and often never knew the true identities of those they worked alongside. It would not be strange for two members to pass each other in the halls of the Shadow Academy without knowing that they had both just finished working in tandem to accomplish a task for the Brotherhood.

Dissemination of information and resources was done in secret, at drops, and in dark corners and shadows. Rarely would multiple members ever meet, with small gatherings being a rarity. Membership in the society was marked only by nondescript tattoos and symbols to designate rank and authority within the organization. Nearly all members of the Inquisitorius held roles and positions of some capacity all over the Brotherhood, and went about their day to day with none knowing just how deep they were in the secrets of the Iron Throne.

Originally, the present location of the Voice of the Brotherhood at any given moment was the closest thing the society had to a base of operations, yet in public, the leader would deny any involvement at all in a secret society that protects the Brotherhood. Where the specialized equipment that the Inquisitorius utilized was procured and how it made its way into the hands of members was not of consequence. Neither was the exact knowledge of how advancements, training, and identification of new members was handled, or even where all the information and data on locations and missions that assessed threats were stored and managed.

=== New Initiative ===

With the threat of organizations such as the Collective coming into full view, Voice [[Marick Tyris]] realized that the need for denying the existence of the Inquisitorius was no longer an effective methodology. The Brotherhood had been caught by surprise by Rath Oligar’s machinations, so the need to hide the society's existence was replaced by revealing a very real organization that would actively bite back against enemies of the Brotherhood. The Inquisitorius would identify and take down rival intelligence agencies like Capital Enterprises at their own game.

While the Voice continued to serve as the visible figurehead and leader of the Inquisitorius, there was a still a need to better coordinate and utilize the Brotherhood's existing network of covert agents and their combined resources.

With help of Combat Master [[Atra Ventus]], the duo dedicated their time to implementing stricter training routines for new initiates, enforcing data-driven decisions over opinion-based hunches, and helping create a truly secure intelligence network that would serve as the heart of this new initiative.

=== Advanced Inquisitorius Network (AIN) ===

The Advanced Inquisitorius Network (AIN) is maintained by mundane teams of operators that have been trained to route real-time data communications securely between the field and the central headquarters nested inside the safety of the Dark Ascent on [[Arx]].

Designed by Senechal James Lucius Entar Arconae, the core strength of the AIN is based on the advanced algorithms and artificial intelligence assistants that allow Operators to scramble and then reassemble communication waves between secure terminals. End-to-end encryption is only one layer of this process, however, as its effective range would be limited without some kind of way to distribute over the lattice of a wider network.

==== You Can’t Stop The Signal ====

[[File:Listernership.png|135px|thumb|Inquisitorius IGV-55 Surveillance Vessel.]]

With the help of Arx Capital Enterprises, Regent [[Evant Taelyan]] was able to commission a small fleet of IGV-55 Surveillance Vessels. Originally utilized by the Imperial Security Bureau (ISB) as “Listener” ships, these unbranded vessels are equipped with heavily modified long range signal boosters that bounce fragmented datastreams between nodes to disperse data across the AIN. Thanks to variable encryption algorithms, any single attack on a “man in the middle” would fail because the fragments alone contain only a fraction of the data. Behind these encryption counter-measures, the data does not live in any one database or centralized node. As a result, no information would be lost if one or even two of these Surveillance Vessels were to be taken out, disabled, or even captured. The relay signals would just find a new destination at one of the other vessels.

Arx Capital Enterprises commissioned extra IGV-55’s and are always training new crews to operate and deploy to replace any pieces of the AIN’s fleet relay system that might go down.

==== Safehouses & Supply Caches ====

Aside from allowing data to be dispersed discreetly, the AIN provides the coordinates and locations of various safehouses and supply caches scattered throughout the Outer Rim Territories. The degree and availability of these locations is something earned through loyalty to the Inquisitorius.

==== Agents (Field) ====

Agents in the field come in many forms, mostly comprised of Infiltrators but filled in with a wide range of disciplines and skill sets such as cargo pilots, saboteurs, and junkers.

==== Operators (Homefront) ====

Operators are selected out of the Academy on Arx as intelligence officers that showed promise in security and attention to detail.

=== Director ===

With this added layer of organization and technology, however, a need for a leader unconnected to the Dark Council arose to help handle the day-to-day operations of the field agents, sleeper cells, technicians, and operators that would protect and serve the Brotherhood's interest. For this reason, Tyris appointed the first Director of the Inquisitorius.

{{FactionNPC
|headshot=Screenshot 2018-08-28 at 12.10.09 AM.png
|name=Ness'arin Ohnaka
|position=Director of Operations
|faction=Inquisitorius
|character sheet=https://www.darkjedibrotherhood.com/non_player_characters/305
|bg1=
|bg2=
}}

Ness'arin Ohnaka has served as the first Director of the Inquisitorius since being appointed to the role by [[Voice]] [[Marick Tyris]]. The Weequay earned the Voice’s trust with her organization skills, poise under pressure, analytical mind, and keen eye for detail. Ness'arin Ohnaka is highly adept at remaining calm in catastrophe. Some would even say she thrives in it. Originally pulled into the upper ranks of the Inquisitorius after being noticed by Grand Inquisitor Marick Tyris, she has undergone his personal and rigorous training to hone her mind into a weapon that can operate efficiently even when chaos is breaking out all around her.

As Director, Ness'arin is responsible for being hands on with the coordination of all Inquisitor related activity. This includes reviewing field reports, budgeting, personnel staffing and recruiting, enforcing policy, maintaining data security, and a slew of other tasks entrusted to her that revolve around running the day-to-day operations of the Inquisitorius. While she has shown undying loyalty to her post, there will always exist a negative stigma of being able to trust someone with as much power and knowledge as she possess. She tries not to let that get in the way of her work, but it is unavoidable at her level of security access and visibility.

== Rank System ==

Whether for ambition and power, or access to greater information and tools to carry out an agenda of peace and justice, all members of the Inquisitorius were placed into a ranking hierarchy. Through contributions to the goals of the Brotherhood or their Clans, or acts of service or skill, a member will find themselves climbing through the ranks of the society. This primarily includes participating in fiction activities such as run-ons, fiction competitions, or Antei Combat Center matches, as well as earning Clusters of Ice or Dark Side Scrolls. Additional advancement was available for shows of skill with placements in these activities, or through service to the Brotherhood by running these competitions to provide the opportunities, judging matches in the Antei Combat Center or holding different roles with influence on fiction.

The ranks are broken down into five different agent tiers, based on twelve different ranks within the society. As a member advances through the ranks they will find different perks become available both fictionally, and for show.

== Inquisitor Ranks ==

==== Apprentice Inquisitor (Ranks I through IV) ====

Having only recently been identified as an agent of the Inquisitorius, these are more aspiring members than full fledged members. They are still given access to information and resources necessary to carry out less critical assignments for training and to prove themselves for advancement.

==== Inquisitor (Ranks V through VIII) ====

With enough service and shown skill and dedication, a member of the society will reach the rank of full Inquisitor. Most members of the society will have this rank. Trusted now with high profile assignments and information, including tasks that are highly important.

==== Chief Inquisitor (Rank IX and X) ====

With not much left to prove, Inquisitors will find themselves at this rank, getting a first pass at missions and information before the rest of the rank and file of the society. These agents will find themselves in audience of the Dark Council on occasion to report on their missions, and get access to some of the best resources available. At this rank, there was little doubt of the member’s allegiance and loyalty to the Dark Brotherhood.

==== High Inquisitor (Rank XI) ====

With not only an unfaltering loyalty, but a dedicated history of both service and high skill in the field, agents will be pulled into an inner circle of their peers known as the High Inquisitors. Often receiving objectives and orders directly from the Voice or Grand Master, these agents are entrusted with missions where failure would be costly to the Dark Brotherhood.

==== Grand Inquisitor (Rank XII) ====

This rank was reserved for the best of the Inquisitorius society. The actions and movements of those at the rank of Grand Inquisitor, and results of the decisions made remain so secret and classified that their impacts may never be known to any but the Voice of the Brotherhood and Grand Master. They are so trusted within the Brotherhood and by the Dark Council, that they receive specialized training to ensure those secrets can be well protected.

|-
| Rank 1
|style="text-align: left;" |
* '''Inquisitorius [[Warbanner]] Tassett''': A tassett displaying the Inquisitorius logo may be added to a member's warbanner.
|-
| Rank 2
|style="text-align: left;" |
* '''[[starwars:Comlink|Advanced Comlink]]''': A handheld comlink accessory issued to members of the Inquisitorius. Features a 100-kilometer range, encoding, locator, and the necessary frequencies in use by the society, as well as the ability to transmit complex data in the course of official business.
|-
| Rank 3
|style="text-align: left;" |
* '''Basic Inquisitorius Tattoo''': A basic permanent mark made onto the body of the member, applied through the Force. Visually invisible unless activated, it is applied when a member has become invaluable enough that they are pulled into the fold.
|-
| Rank 4
|style="text-align: left;" |
* '''Inquisitorius [[Warbanner]] Pattern''': A pattern unique to the Inquisitorius society that can be displayed in the background of a member’s warbanner.

* '''Character Sheet Feat''': (Chosen) '''Eagle Eye''': <nowiki>{{member}}</nowiki> has been trained to keep an eye on a target even in a crowd. <nowiki>{{member}}</nowiki> can use <nowiki>{{gender:his,her}}</nowiki> '''Subterfuge''' skill in conjunction with <nowiki>{{gender:his,her}}</nowiki> '''Perception''' of the environment in order to follow a mark from a safe distance without being detected.
|-
| Rank 5
|style="text-align: left;" |
* '''Inquisitor Armor''': A set of basic armor consisting of a cuirass, boots, gloves and optional cowl. Designed in a way to optimize movement and flexibility while remaining absolutely silent, though still affording a reasonable amount of protection from harm. Perfectly designed with clandestine operations in mind.
|-
| Rank 6
|style="text-align: left;" |
* '''Inquisitorius Stiletto''': An accessory weapon that is a variation of the [[starwars:Molecular_stiletto|Molecular Stiletto]] appearing to be nothing more than a typical, slender dagger. Upon thumbing a small activator stub on the hilt, however, a sharp and nearly invisible monomolecular blade springs from the tip. This makes the stiletto perfect for penetrating armor in weak points and is deadly as a stabbing weapon in its own right. The blade itself is incredibly brittle, however, and will buckle under impact against even a basic vibroblade. Perfect for a quick and quiet kill, but not as useful in a fight.
|-
| Rank 7
|style="text-align: left;" |
* '''Inquisitorius Scanner''': An accessory computer that carries out a multitude of tasks on behalf of the user to assist in their operations. This includes communications scanning, lifeform detectors, magnetic resonance and thermal scanners, as well as limited range jamming. In addition to these basic functions, the devices were heavily customized from user to user depending on the mission to perform other surveillance activities .
|-
| Rank 8
|style="text-align: left;" |
* '''Normal Inquisitorius Tattoo''': Building on the basic tattoo rewarded at an earlier rank, additional permanent marks are made onto the body of the member, applied through the Force. Visually invisible unless activated, it is applied when a member has reached the top of their respective agent rank to signify their standing and readiness to carry out a new level tasks on behalf of the Brotherhood.

* '''Character Sheet Feat''': (Chosen) '''Crooked Smile''': <nowiki>{{member}}</nowiki> has received specialized training in using <nowiki>{{gender:his,her}}</nowiki> '''Empathy''' as a means of lulling a target into a false sense of security that can be capitalized on at the opportune moment. <nowiki>{{member}}</nowiki> can earn a target's trust without the need of manipulation or mind tricks, focusing solely on <nowiki>{{gender:his,her}}</nowiki> ability to connect on an emotional level.
|-
| Rank 9
|style="text-align: left;" |
* '''Chief Inquisitor Armor''': A set of advanced armor consisting of a cuirass, boots, gloves and optional cowl. Designed in a way to optimize movement and flexibility while remaining absolutely silent, though still affording a reasonable amount of protection from harm. Perfectly designed with clandestine operations in mind. In addition to function, this advanced set of armor emphasizes form as well, remaining sleek and intimidating in appearance to align with the expectations of the Chief Inquisitors to whom it has been awarded.
|-
| Rank 10
|style="text-align: left;" |
* '''Advanced Inquisitorius Tattoo''': Building on the normal tattoo rewarded at an earlier rank, additional permanent marks are made onto the body of the member, applied through the Force. Visually invisible unless activated, it is applied when a member has excelled to the top of available Chief Inquisitors in their accomplishments, to signify their standing and level of commitment to the Inquisitorius.

* '''Character Sheet Feat''': (Chosen) '''Won't Attract The Worm:''' <nowiki>{{member}}</nowiki> has learned how to move silently as a shadow even when wearing medium to heavy armor that would otherwise be a dead giveaway to any attempt at stealth. <nowiki>{{gender:He,She}}</nowiki> is able to balance <nowiki>{{gender:his,her}}</nowiki> weight in just the right manner to mask and conceal clinking or creaking of plate or reinforced hide.
|-
| Rank 11
|style="text-align: left;" |
* '''Master Inquisitorius Tattoo''': Building on the advanced tattoo rewarded at an earlier rank, the final permanent marks are made onto the body of the member, applied through the Force. Visually invisible unless activated, this completed tattoo signifies someone of unfaltering loyalty and dedication to the Brotherhood. As a High Inquisitor, the member joins a circle with this mark to safeguard the Brotherhood.
|-
| Rank 12
|style="text-align: left;" |
* '''Sith Dagger''': A weapon that is crafted specifically for Grand Inquisitors with a unique styling, made of metallurgical alloys that make it impossibly light, with alchemical alterations that allow it to block incoming lightsaber attacks and deflected blaster bolts.

* '''Character Sheet Feat''': (Granted) '''Steel Curtain:''' <nowiki>{{member}}</nowiki> has received specialized training from the Grand Master and has gained the ability to steel <nowiki>{{gender:his,her}}</nowiki> mind against any attempt to pry information about the Brotherhood and its secrets. While this bonus to <nowiki>{{members}}</nowiki>'s '''Resolve''' makes <nowiki>{{gender:him,her}}</nowiki> better able to handle Interrogation, the training becomes more evident in its ability to indefinitely prevent <nowiki>{{member}}</nowiki> from divulging Brotherhood secrets.

== Equite & Beyond ==
Promotions beyond [[JM4]] are decided on a case-by-case basis, and not on the basis of activities lists (like Novitiate/Journeyman ranks). The [[Master at Arms]] looks at the whole record of the prospective promotee including but not limited to competitions entered and hosted, medals awarded and why, projects completed, leadership, and administrative experience. The latter two often holding a greater weight with each subsequent rank. Attitude and how one interacts with the larger Brotherhood also plays a role as it represents ones growth and maturity in the club. Strive to establish your strengths and never be afraid to test your weaknesses.

The time in rank and leadership (or equivalent) requirements listed below are intended to be minimums, and it is unlikely that a member would be promoted early, and virtually impossible that a member would be promoted without fulfilling some sort of leader or project role. Rare members will meet expectations early, but most members will take at least the time provided and usually longer. Activity is expected to be recent. A member who has been an [[Equite 1]] for over a year but only returned to active status two months ago is unlikely to be promoted. Large scale activity may make up for time in rank, however, including Brotherhood wide vendettas or prolonged projects that reach conclusion.

<center>
{| table class="fancy" width="700px" align="center"
|-
| class="sub-head" | '''Rank'''
| class="sub-head" | '''Minimums'''
|-
| Equite 1
| 2 months minimum; 4 months average sustained activity
|-
| Equite 2
| 4 months minimum; 6 months average sustained activity
|-
| Equite 3
| 6 months minimum; 12 months average sustained activity; 3 months of CON-level leadership or equivalent
|-
| Equite 4
| 8 months minimum; 16 months average sustained activity; 6 months of CON-level leadership or equivalent
|}
</center>

Holding a leadership or administrative position in the Brotherhood is an important achievement for a member, and it also serves as an important marker for evaluating member progress by the [[Master at Arms]] staff. We do recognize that direct unit leadership is not always possible, either through a lack of opportunity, or a desire to do something else. This should not adversely hamper a member's chances for promotion. Therefore some equivalencies to three months (these are all predicated on the notion that the member is successful and active in their role) as a [[Consul]] are:
* Six months as either [[Proconsul]] or [[Quaestor]]
* Seven months as a [[Aedile]]
* Nine months as a [[Battle Team Leader]]
* Nine months as a [[Rollmaster]]
* Six months as a [[Praetor]]
* Nine months as a [[Magistrate]], Shadow Academy [[Professor]] or [[Docent]], or Antei Combat Centre Judge

There are other positioned and non-positioned activities that a member can engage in that are in keeping with the spirit of the above. These include (but are not limited) to: working and actively contributing to the large-scale Brotherhood projects, large-scale Clan projects, working on the Brotherhood wiki, non-positioned [[Shadow Academy]] service, and mentoring member to the rank of Professional/Captain/Knight. It is important that members wishing to progress start to engage in activities that move beyond that of a competing (and even winning) regular member - but that work need not be a position - so long as it is demonstrated that they have contributed to the great clan/Brotherhood.

Further, all of the above positions and associated timelines are meant to show transparency in the Master at Arms staff thought processes. There is no guarantee that a member will be promoted upon hitting the number of days in a position.

Looking at recent examples of Equite promotions is a good method of learning what other members who hold that rank did to earn it.

Leaders looking to submit an Equite promotion are encouraged to first contact the Master at Arms to determine the member’s eligibility while consulting the [[MAA Policy: Writing Recommendations]] examples.

=== Competitions ===
In order for a competition to count towards a promotion, it must meet the following criteria:
* Award 4th level Crescents or higher
* The competition will count towards the promotion requirement only once it has been completed, scored, and awards have gone out
* For the purposes of counting competitions, the Promotheus tool general keeps track of these competitions. This has not always been the case, and the website note displaying all of a member's participation must not impede their progress. When recommending a promotion for a member, simply note that the website is incorrect.

===Clan Credits===
Clans will seed with an initial value per policy. This is considered an initial influx of credits to seed their account, and will then gain credits according to the activities below.

Seeded credits for all Clans when possessions was launched was determined by a base of 400,000,000 credits to earn Clan, plus a bonus of 100,000,000 credits adjusted based on the percentage of the existing Fleet Points of each Clan at the time possessions went live relative to the Clan with the most Fleet points which received the full bonus. If a new Clan is created, the value of this seeded credit total will be based on the 400,000,000 credit number, plus a baseline bonus of credits for each manual credit award to all Clans for major events (listed below).

{{Eras|real}}
{{CS TOC}}

All members of the Dark Jedi Brotherhood are able to create a Star Wars character that will be displayed on your dossier account and that gets tied-in to the clubs fictional systems. This process starts with your primary Character Sheet.

The following guide will walk you through the steps for creating your character using the Character Sheet creation tool.

Note: ''As you progress through the ranks, you get the option to create an Alternative Character sheet, and eventually you can purchase additional NPCs slots through Possessions. Possessions is also where you will be able to equip items you earn or purchase with credits earned form competing in activities across the club.''

[[File:Examplesheet.JPG|none|675px]]

'''Additional Resources:
'''
* [[Character Sheet Approval Guidelines]]
* [[Fiction Resources]]

For a list of all the Species, Feats, Aspects, Disciplines, Skills, and Force Powers please see the:
[https://www.darkjedibrotherhood.com/character_sheets/reference Character Sheet Reference] database.

== Introduction ==

Creating your character sheet is not only an important step towards helping you progress through the early ranks of the Brotherhood, but also directly ties into taking part in the various fictional activities made available to members of the club. These activities include [[Fiction]] competitions (write a story in response to a prompt/topic), [[Run-On]] competitions (collaborative stories with a team), and the [[Antei Combat Center]] (combat writing).

All character sheets go through an approval process that is reviewed by a member of the Voice Staff. You can find the requirements for this process on the [[Character sheet approval guidelines]] page. You may also find it helpful to read up on [[Dark Brotherhood Canon]] to know where your character fits in to the current fictional timeline.

Finally, please keep in mind that the Voice staff are responsible for approving edits made to a character sheet, and that if you have a question or concern with comments made in a remand of your character sheet, please do not hesitate to contact the staff! They are here to help you with making your character come to life in our system.

== Creating Your Character ==

To begin, head over to the top right corner of the Dark Jedi Brotherhood's main page where you see your name.

[[File:Adminmenu.jpg|thumb|center|750px]]

When you click it, you will be brought to the administration panel. Navigate to the tab that says '''“Characters”'''.

1: Click "Character Sheet Administration" <br>
[[File:Charactersnew.png|thumb|center|750px]]

2: Click the Green Button that says: "Create new character sheet from scratch" <br>
[[File:Csadmin_create.jpg|thumb|center|750px]]

3: You will now be brought into the Character Sheet creation tool window. Read the introduction instructions carefully and then click “Next” to start! <br>
[[File:Cs_wizardstart.jpg|thumb|center|750px]]

=== Step 1: Personal Details ===

Input your character's personal details.
[[File:Pd1.jpg|thumb|center|750px]]

==== Species ====

''(Main Article/Document: [[CS Guide: Species]])''

Select your Species from the DB-approved [[CS Guide: Species|list]]. Familiarize yourself with the “Notable traits” and “Description” sections to help with creating what your character will look like.

===== Species Adherence =====

You should also pay close attention to the notable traits of the Species you select. The Wiki entry for each Species lists out the Notable Traits. For example, if you select Chiss, you would need to include the race’s blue skin and red eyes.
[[File:ChissSnapshot.jpg|thumb|center|750px]]

Each Species also features two unique Feats that they are granted automatically. If something mentioned in one of these Feats is '''cosmetic''', you may plan to defy this part of a Species’ granted Feat (e.g. a character not having cultural tattoos if they did not grow up in their own culture), but this needs to be covered in an *Aspect* to explain how and why. You '''may not''' lose the balancing effect of the Feat, however, or otherwise change any '''functionality''' of a Feat with an Aspect (e.g. Zeltrons cannot consciously control their pheremones).

[[File:ChissFeats.jpg|thumb|center|750px]]

Another example: Chiss develop at earlier ages, while a Species like Sephi are a long-lived species. So an 80 year old Sephi is actually young by Human standards, and a teenage Chiss might be closer to an adult than a Human adolescent.

Hybrid species are allowed, but you must choose a primary Species for the sake of granted feats. You cannot mix and match feats. It is one or the other. While your character may have cosmetic traits of both Species, they may only have the functional traits of the primary selected Species.

''See [https://wiki.darkjedibrotherhood.com/view/CS_Guide:_Species#Hybrids Hybrid species ] for more information.''

==== Handedness ====

Select if your character is right-handed or left-handed. Ambidexterity can be selected later on as a [https://www.darkjedibrotherhood.com/character_sheets/reference/feats?filter=Ambidexterity feat ].

==== Age ====

Select your character’s age. The site will automatically calculate their birth year in BBY/ABY.

==== Height/Weight ====

Members of the Dark Jedi Brotherhood are spread out across the globe. As such, both the metric and imperial measurement systems are used, but the character sheet asks for ''meters'' and ''kilograms''. [https://www.unitconverters.net/ Unit converts] can be helpful here.

When picking your character’s height and weight, the Voice Staff recommends using a real-life athlete, actor, or someone that you feel closely portrays your character. You can look up what their height/weight is, and either copy that, or make slight adjustments.

=== Physical Description ===

When writing your character’s Physical Description, the goal is to paint a visual image of what the character looks like for the reader and to show how they '''appear''' to other characters they come across. This field should only reflect the ''physical traits'' that would help identify the character in a lineup of other characters. What do they look look like in a static picture? How would you describe them to someone if you wanted set up a meeting with a stranger?

Since the focus is solely on the character's visual details, the '''effects''' of the character’s appearance or their behavioral traits should '''not''' be included in a Physical Description. Behaviors like "his eyes intimidate everyone around him" are instead covered under a character's ''Aspects''. Clothing, attire, and weapons are also covered separately under the '''Possessions & Loadouts''' section of your administration panel. The only articles that can be listed here are Species-specific things like a Kel Dor’s breathing mask.

For a quick start, you want to make sure you hit all the basic six (6) descriptors: ''skin tone'', ''eye color'', ''hair color'' and ''hairstyle'', ''body type'', and ''distinguishing marks'' (like scars or tattoos).

* ''Example:'' '''[name] is a [species] of x build. He/she/they have x eyes and x skin, along with x hair that is x
'''

Please avoid out of universe references in doing so, such as Asian, Caucasian or African, and instead use terms like “flat nose/angular eyes, pale features, or dark skinned/coarse hair”. Always check your Species infobox for information about what colors or features are standard to your selected Species. Here are some general examples of what descriptive words you might use for each such item. You can always input any of these phrases into a thesaurus to find more specific color types or varieties.

'''Skin:'''

* Pale/Light/Fair
* Tanned/Bronzed
*Dark
*Brown
*White
*Pink
*Red
*Blue
*Orange
*Violet

'''Eyes:'''

*Brown/Chocolate/Amber
*Blue/Sapphire/Aquamarine
*Green/Emerald/Jade
*Gray/Ash/Smoke
*Black/Obsidian/Coal
*Red/Scarlet/Crimson/Ruby/Garnet
*Yellow/Citrine/Topaz/Gold
*Purple/Amethyst/Lavender

'''Hair:'''

*Brown
*Auburn
*Gold
*Platinum
*Red
*Silver
*Black
*Blue
*Pink
*Green

'''Hair Styles:'''

*Long
*Medium
*Short
*Down/loose
*Tied up/Tail/Ponytail
*Bun
*Shaven
*Undercut
*Dyed
*Bald
*Braided
*Dreadlocks
*Shaggy
*Messy
*Cropped

'''Physique:'''

*Lithe
*Slim
*Willowy
*Muscled
*Bulky
*Trim
*Cut
*Delicate
*Strong
*Feminine
*Masculine
*Curvaceous
*Thick
*Thin
*Bony
*Hulking

'''Distinguishing Marks (single style only, not situational):'''

*Scarred
*Inked
*Tattooed
*Dyed
*Carved
*Pierced (as of jewelry)
*Makeup

You may also include accents, but keep in mind that there is not an England or Southern United States in Star Wars — these fall again under out of universe references. Instead, you can use things like "aristocratic lilt" (English accent), or "slow drawl" (Southern United States). Accents are considered flavor for the purpose of better describing a character's "voice" in dialogue writing.

==== Example ====

[[File:NixHeadshot.jpg|left|thumb|Image Reference|200px]]

Lord Marshal [[Damon Nix]], leader of the Iron Legion. Full [https://www.darkjedibrotherhood.com/non_player_characters/36 Character Sheet].

'''Description:'''<br>
''The most striking thing about Damon Nix is how remarkably average he appears to be. Tall, broad-shouldered, and physically fit, he has pale but healthy skin and sports a soldier's build. His close cut, wavy brown hair is combed over and up to the right, matching dark, muddy eyes set above a straight nose and a strong jaw. Despite his age, he has no trace of wrinkles, grey hairs, scars or markings beyond the crow's feet at the corners of his eyes and the faint laugh lines on his jowls. His smile is feral, revealing perfect rows of too-white teeth.
''

'''Things NOT Included:'''<br>
The clothing/attire he wears, how he acts/behaves, or how he affects other characters.
<br><br>

==== Helpful Tips ====

The following tips from the Voice Staff aim to help you avoid getting your sheet bounced back to you.

'''Listing features''' — Your description should be written in sentences to provide the best description, not bullet points or data entry.

''Incorrect Example: "Hair Color: red. Eye color: blue. Tattoos: tribal."
''

'''Effects of features on others''' — This would fall under Custom Aspects. You can have piercing green eyes, but you cannot have "eyes that pierce through others' soul and make them want to vomit with fear."

''Incorrect Example: "...so beautiful that people often get whiplash from turning their heads when they see her walk past them."
''

'''Behavioral patterns''' — These also fall under Custom Aspects. You can have muscles like a hunting cat or muscles born of a soldier's life, but you can't make mention of what the character's workout routine or lifestyle.

''Incorrect Example: "He keeps up a daily regimen of brutal fitness combined with decades of harsh training and experience that maintain his muscles and cover him in scars."
''

'''Attire''' — There is absolutely no attire, armor, or clothing styles listed in the Physical Description. Certain Species [[CS Guide: Species|have special exceptions]] such as breath masks or blindfolds, but these must be explicitly stated and required for the Species in their information, and should not be recreational (eg if your character just prefers to be masked or cover their eyes).

=== Step 2: Disciplines ===
:''Main Article: [[CS Guide: Disciplines]]''

A Discipline is like a conventional RPG “Class”, except much more flexible. You are not locked into the definition of your Discipline; you are merely picking a set of unique skills that tie into your character’s “play style” when writing them. They relate to the type of unique training your character would focus on as they advance.

For example, the typical ''Shadow'' would utilize the bonus to stealth and subterfuge to their advantage. Their targets never see them coming, until they are already dead. You could just as freely, however, play a ''Shadow'' that '''doesn’t''' care for literal cloak and daggers, and prefers to get up close and personal with their targets before taking their lives.

Each Discipline comes with two unique Feats. One modifies an existing Skill or Force Power, while the other grants a Skill or Force Power that is unique to the Discipline. These feats are broken up into three tiers, and grow more powerful as you reach each milestone.

* Discipline Feat I — ''Journeyman level feat.''
* Discipline Feat II — ''Equite level feat.''
* Discipline Feat III — ''Elder level feat.''
[[File:Discipline.jpg|thumb|center|750px]]

=== Step 3: Skills ===
:''Main Article: [[CS Guide: Skills]]''

{{Quote|These blast points - too accurate for Sand People. Only Imperial Stormtroopers are so precise.|Obi-wan Kenobi}}

Skills represent your character's abilities that come from their knowledge, practice, aptitude and govern their ability to perform different actions. This starts with the six (6) ''Core Skills.'' Physically, you have ''Athletics'' and ''Might'', which are supported by ''Stamina''. Mentally, you have ''Intellect'' and ''Perception'', which are supported by ''Resolve''. For more information on the ''Core Skills'', see the [[CS Guide: Character Sheet FAQ]].

The remaining list of available Skills help better define your character’s strengths and weaknesses. All Skills are usable at the basic level (+0), and grow in competence with each tier.

* '''Mediocre''' (+0) - ''Available to all ranks'' — Covers the basics of a given Skill, and does not prevent you from writing your character using it with a common sense level of aptitude.
* '''Learned''' (+1) - ''Available to all ranks'' — You have, through trial and error most likely, invested some time to learn more about the skill.
* '''Trained''' (+2) - ''Available to all ranks'' — You have been trained in this Skill through increased practice and application.
* '''Proficient''' (+3) - ''Available at Journeyman'' — You are confident in using your respective Skill and consider it a strength, and would advertise it professionally.
* '''Adept''' (+4) - ''Available at Equite'' — You’ve put in the time and effort and have expertise in this Skill.
* '''Master''' (+5) - ''Available at E;der'' — You are considered in the top 1% of your respective Skill.
* '''Sovereign''' (+6) - ''Available at Grand Master'' — You have truly gone beyond: Plus Ultra!

The only unique outliers for Skill progression are ''Lore'', ''Linguistics'', ''Primary/Secondary Lightsaber Form'' and ''Primary/Secondary Martial Art'' skills, which require a minimum of (+1) to count. A (+1) in any of these skills allows you to add these fields to your sheet under the ''“Specialization”'' section.

[[File:Blasterskillexample.png|thumb|center|500px|Example Skill box.]]

Very rarely will one single Skill govern an interaction your character has with either the environment or other characters around them. A good conversationalist is said to be charismatic, but some can simply be witty or manipulative. There are countless ways someone can handle a simple dialogue interaction. Instead of having a single Skill (like say, Charisma) to govern these interactions, the sum of your character's Skills work together. "Charisma" is composed of ''Intellect'' for wit and processing, ''Subterfuge'' for control of facial expression and emoting, ''Empathy'' for being able to feign or express genuine sympathy or understanding, ''Perception'' for noticing and picking up on ticks or tells from the other speaker, and ''Manipulation'' to carefully steer and direct the conversation itself.

At the same time, Skills can overlap. For instance, we have '''Interrogation''' and '''Intimidation'''. These are two means for the same end, in terms of gathering information from someone. Which Skill you dump your points into will determine the methods employed by the character. On the same topic, '''Empathy''' and '''Diplomacy''' can be used to quell a dispute while relying on different approaches.

Then, Skills will work with each other to further delve into the picture that is your character. A character with low '''Athletics''' and high '''Stamina''' would make a good marathon runner, whereas if you flip these values you'll end up with a fast sprinter that wouldn't survive the marathon but couldn't be touched in a 100m dash.

=== Skill/Force Power Ladder System ===

Skills and Force Powers have separate ladders, but work under the same pyramid build system. This is not a Skill Tree found in a conventional RPG. The Skills / Force Powers you slot and assign do '''not''' have to be related in anyway. All this means is that in order to create a balanced skill-set, you need to build up towards your “top” marquee skills from the bottom.

The top layer needs to always be supported by a layer below it. An image of a proper skill pyramid can been seen below.

1. To set your Skills or Force Powers, drag and drop the grey boxes from the right into your desired skill tier on the left.
[[File:Skills.jpg|thumb|center|750px]]

2. If you build your ladder improperly, and don't have the proper pyramid base, you will see a red highlight appear around your Skills, as seen in the image below. This will prevent you from moving to the next step. You can fix this by making sure the below tier has equal or more skills designated.

[[File:Skilltreefail.jpg|thumb|center|300px]]

==== Skill Points ====

There are four different rank tiers which provide access to higher proficiencies as you progress in Brotherhood [[rank]]. Moving from one tier to the next gives you a larger boost in total Skill points from which to draw upon.

===== Force Users =====
{| border ="1"
! Novitiate !! !! Journeyman !! !! Equite !! !! Elder !! !! Grand Master !!
|-
| Initiate || '''11 ''' || Neophyte || '''20''' || Equite I || '''29''' || Adept ||'''38'''|| Grand Master || '''Infinity'''
|-
| Apprentice || '''12''' || Acolyte || '''21''' || Equite II || '''30''' || Master || '''39''' || ||
|-
| Novice || '''13''' || Padawan/Hunter || '''22''' || Equite III || '''31''' || Prophet || '''40''' || ||
|-
| Proselyte || '''14''' || Knight || '''23''' || Equite IV || '''32''' || || || ||
|}

===== Non-Force Users =====
{| border ="1"
! Novitiate !! !! Journeyman !! !! Equite !! !! Elder !! !! Grand Master !!
|-
| Novice I || '''12 ''' || Journeyman I || '''24''' || Equite I || '''36''' || Elder I ||'''48'''|| Grand Master || '''Infinity'''

|-
| Novice IV || '''17''' || Journeyman IV || '''29''' || Equite IV || '''41''' || || || ||
|}

''Note:'' Skills will always be listed in ''Italics'' in the Character Sheet system.

=== Step 4: Force Powers ===
:''Main Article: [[CS Guide: Force Powers]]''

{{Quote|The Force is what gives a Jedi his power.|Obi-wan Kenobi}}

Force Powers are available only to Force User characters. Characters that are built as Non-Force Users (NFU) will still have this step available to them on the creation tool process, but will not have any points to use for allotment of powers. To balance this, Non-Force Users are given bonus feat slots and skill points for balance.

Each Force Power behaves differently, so the best way to get an understanding of these powers and how they work is to reference the [[Force Powers]] tables.

==== Force Power Levels ====

Each level of proficiency in a Force Power can be bought using one (1) point. There are six levels of Force Power proficiency:

* Initiate (+1) - Available to all ranks.
* Studied (+2) - Available to all ranks.
* Disciple (+3) - Available at Journeyman.
* Adept (+4) - Available at Equite.
* Master (+5) - Available at Elder.
* Grand Master (+6) - Available at Grand Master.

==== Force Power Points ====

There are six different rank tiers which provide access to higher proficiencies as you progress in Brotherhood rank. Moving from one tier to the next gives you a larger boost in total Force Power points from which to draw upon.

Force points are distributed in the same manner as Skill points and use the same style of pyramid to balance out which Force Powers your character is best at.

{| border ="1"
! Novitiate !! !! Journeyman !! !! Equite !! !! Elder !! !! Grand Master !!
|-
| Initiate || '''11 ''' || Neophyte || '''20''' || Equite I || '''29''' || Adept ||'''38'''|| Grand Master || '''46'''
|-
| Apprentice || '''12''' || Acolyte || '''21''' || Equite II || '''30''' || Master || '''39''' || ||
|-
| Novice || '''13''' || Padawan/Hunter || '''22''' || Equite III || '''31''' || Prophet || '''40''' || ||
|-
| Proselyte || '''14''' || Knight || '''23''' || Equite IV || '''32''' || || || ||
|}

''Note:'' Skills will always be listed in ''Italics'' in the Character Sheet system.

=== Step 5: Feats ===
:''Main Article: [[Feats]]''
[[File:Feats.jpg|thumb|center|750px]]

Feats are at the heart of the character sheets, and probably the most fun to take advantage of. Feats are perks, maneuvers, or techniques your character has that change how a Skill or Force Power behaves. Each Feat is associated directly with a Skill or Force Power and allows you to augment or modify them in different ways. Some Feats allow you to substitute one Skill or Force Power for another in certain circumstances, sometimes at a penalty. Others directly enhance a single Skill in a specific way.

Please note that you must have points in the Skill or Force Power that a Feat modifies to take advantage of it. Feats apply to situations, and do not supply permanent stat-boosts as a passive state. Remember when looking over someone else’s character sheet to check the Feats they have, as Feats directly influence Force Powers and Skills.

==== Feat vs Aspects ====

Feats and Aspects can often get confusing, as they both speak to how you write your character taking actions. The main difference between a Feat and an Aspect is that a Feat '''''modifies an existing Skill or Force Power''''', or creates a new unique ability in some way. Think of feats as "add-ons" you can select to give your character a bonus in a Skill or Force Power.

An Aspect, on the other hand, simply '''''describe''''' ''how'', ''when'', and ''why'' your character uses an existing Skill or Force Power. Aspects are short paragraphs that you use to describe your character's behavior, habits, and personality quirks that make them tick.

----

Example of a Feat:

* Feat: '''Chain It'''
* The character can disperse their '''Force Lightning''' at the point of impact, chain-linking into nearby targets with deteriorating power as the distance from the epicenter increases.

This feat modifies how Force Lightning behaves. It’s effectiveness is still tied to the character’s level of proficiency with the power, but it does provide a distinct difference to someone using the same exact power but without the feat. In short, if a character does not have this feat, they cannot make their Force Lightning chain to multiple targets.

----

Example of an Aspect:

* Aspect: '''Unlimited Power'''
* Emperor Palpatine — also known as Darth Sidious — loves to use '''Force Lightning''' to break both the mind and body of those who dare oppose him. When engaging in battle where he fears no survivors will live to reveal his abilities, the Dark Lord of the Sith’s mastery of the dark side allows him to wreak havoc on even the most formidable enemies. For all his destructive power, however, Sidious can easily get carried away with the glee of withering the will away from his opponents. This tunnel-like focus betrays his otherwise perfectly planned, meticulous machinations and may leave him vulnerable.

This Combat Aspect tells us how Palpatine users the Force Power — '''Force Lightning''' — in combat. It shows that Palpatine loves to use Force Lightning on his foes, but can get carried away.

----

Together, the Aspect is supported by having the Force Lightning skill at a high level, but is ''supplemented'' by Feats that ''modify'' '''Force Lightning''', such as "Chain It". In the case of the Emperor, however, you'd be actually looking at the advanced form of the feat: [https://goo.gl/FkuZsk Elder Storm].

=== Step 6: Specializations ===
[[File:Specialize.jpg|thumb|center|750px]]

Here you select your primary and secondary [[Lightsaber Forms]] as well as your primary and secondary [[Hand to Hand Combat Guide|Martial Arts]] styles, if applicable. Lightsaber Forms become available to Journeymen, but until Knight, the only Form a member can become proficient in is Form Zero. Form Zero introduces the basic movements and strikes that the more advanced Forms build from.

As a reminder, Specialization fields can only be selected or written-in if their is at least 1 point (+1) assigned to the respective skill field.

==== Lightsaber Form ====

:''[[CS Guide: Lightsaber Forms]]''

Upon reaching the rank of Knight, your character can learn up to '''two''' Lightsaber Forms. This is not to say that your character doesn't know about other Forms, but your character has only practiced in a maximum of two. In order to select a Form, you must have at least a +1 in ''Primary Lightsaber Form'', and in order to select a second Form, you must have at least +1 in ''Secondary Lightsaber Form''.

==== Martial Arts Style ====

:''[[CS Guide: Martial Arts Forms]]''

Your martial arts style is how you do combat without a lightsaber or blaster. Much like your lightsaber style, you must have at least a +1 in ''Primary Martial Arts Form'' in order to select a style. The same, too, for your ''Secondary Martial Arts Form''.

==== Lore ====

For each Rank in the ''Lore'' Skill, your character has studied a subject intensely and is considered an expert in that field. This knowledge is on par with an academic 2-4 year program. Beginning with one subject at Skill Level 1, you gain an additional subject for each respective Skill Level.

For a list of suggested Lore Topics, see the [https://wiki.darkjedibrotherhood.com/view/CS_Guide:_Skills#Appendix_A:_Sample_Lore_Topics Sample Lore topics] section of the Skills Appendix.

All characters have knowledge of the Brotherhood as well as the history of the modern era (Imperial Period, New Republic, and New Jedi Order). You are up to date on current news and pop culture and the state of the Galaxy and have completed basic academic training. If you want to explore a lack of education, you would cover this under a Custom Aspect.

==== Languages ====

:''[[CS Guide: Languages]]''

Linguistics refers to an individual's ability to read, write, and analyze text, speech, and transcriptions from different languages. All characters have a base understanding of their own native language and [[starwars:Basic|galactic basic]]. Linguistics covers the addition of new languages to an individual's repertoire, one for each rank in the skill. When used untrained, this skill grants proficiency in all common languages associated with the individual's species.

All species are able to speak or understand Galactic Basic by default as a part of your “base” language. If you selected a non-Human species, you also get that species' native language as a base. Base languages are present even if Linguistics is set to +0. Linguistics, then, applies only to additional languages you wish to add to your character's ability.

A list of languages currently in use in the character creation system is available in the [[Languages|Languages guide]]. Please consult the [[Species|Species guide]] or Wookieepedia for information on which languages your chosen species knows if you do not know. All languages must be considered Star Wars canon.

=== Step 7: Aspects ===

:''Main Article: [[CS Guide: Aspects]]''
{{Quote|Scoundrel. I like that.|Han Solo}}

This is where talk more about your character's demeanor, behavior, how their presence affects others in a room. Aspects are the key to what makes your character tick, and ultimately what defines the kinds of decisions they might make. They allow you to expand on and describe your character's merits, flaws, habits, quirks and preferences. They can cover lifestyle, sexuality and other forms of identify, that make them unique. These Aspects can be rooted in your character's history, upbringing or background to shed light onto what makes them behave in various situations or scenarios, but should focus more on the "result" of that history or background.

''Example:''<br>

'''Divided Spirit'''<br>
Kylo Ren killed his own father in an attempt to show his dedication to the Dark Side of the Force. '''As a result,''' his spirit was "torn in half", leaving him conflicted as to who he was and what path he was supposed to follow. The act has planted a seed of doubt, leaving Kylo to wonder if he is truly worth to live up to the legacy of Darth Vader.

When creating a character, you want your reader to be able to empathize in some way, shape, or form. Even if you are writing a merciless Sith assassin, giving them a balanced set of flaws and merits not only makes them realistic, but also easier to relate to. If your character is relatable, your reader will have a better experience reading your work. Step 3. Profit.

Every character gets to choose six (6) Aspects. These six (6) Aspects are divided into three categories that get two Aspects each: ''General'' (2), ''Personality'' (2), and ''Combat'' (2).

* '''Personality Aspects''' are the heart of your character. These can range from phobias and quirks to motivations and ambitions, hopes and dreams, the most vital things that make your character who he or she is.

* '''Combat Aspects''' detail your character's fighting style and habits. This can range from ranged fighting and stealth to melee and a tendency to want to blow things up.

* '''General Aspects''' can fall under either personality or combat. They can also be used to describe anything that falls in-between or outside of the aforementioned categories as well, such as some character history or a relationship with another character.

1. The creation tool will let you chose from a selection of pre-written Aspects. These Aspects have already been approved by the Voice Staff and were written as examples of balanced Aspects.

[[File:Aspectselect.jpg|thumb|center|750px]]

2. Select from the available Aspects. You can always update your character's Aspects at a later time, and will even have the ability to write your own Custom Aspects. For your first character, or if you’re unsure of how to go about writing your own Custom Aspect, the Voice Staff advises sticking to the available pre-written Aspects.

For a more detailed guide on creating custom Aspects, see the [[Aspects]] main article. The Voice Staff is always on-hand to assist.

Please note: Custom Aspects require approval from the Voice Staff, which can add time to the approval process. Please plan accordingly if you are up against a deadline, such like as an ACC competition.

=== Final Step: Save and Submit ===

Once you have completed all the steps in the Character Sheet Creation Wizard, you can press the "Save" button located at the bottom, and will be prompted when it’s safe to exit out of the creation tool. This will bring you back to the admin screen, and present you with a few options.

[[File:Finalsave.jpg|thumb|center|750px]]

1. '''Edit''' — Enter the creation tool to edit or update the character sheet.<br>
2. '''Submit''' — Submits the sheet to the Voice Staff for approval.<br>
3. '''Preview''' — See what your character sheet will look like. The Voice Staff highly recommends previewing your sheet before submission.<br>
4. '''Delete''' — Delete the character sheet from the database. This cannot be recovered, and is not recommended.<br>
5. '''Create a copy''' — Once a sheet is approved, you are able to create a copy of it so that you can make edits without having to start from scratch.<br>

==== Updating your Character Sheet ====

Once a character sheet is approved, you are able to make non-text based edits at will, without having to get approval. This includes changing out your feats or rearranging your Skills / Force Powers. This will simply present you with a green “Activate” button that will update the sheet right away. Any text-based changes (description, Aspects) will require approval from the Voice Staff. Per the guidelines, previously approved character sheet details do not automatically guarantee re-approval. The guidelines can get changed or updated, so no previous approval makes your currently submitted sheet exempt from going through the approval process.

Brotherhood Canon

2019-06-27T14:55:50Z

JaM3z: Changed protection level for "Dark Brotherhood Canon" ([Edit=<protect-level-voice-protected>] (indefinite) [Move=<protect-level-voice-protected>] (indefinite))

{{Codex TOC}}

The following article details the official guidelines that govern fictional activity in the Dark Jedi Brotherhood, as established by [[Grand Master]] [[Darth Pravus|Pravus]], and enforced by the [[Voice of the Brotherhood]] and [[Dark Council]].

== Defining Canon ==

The word ''[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Canon_(fiction) canon]'' is used heavily when talking about the fictional aspects of the Dark Jedi Brotherhood. At its core, the “canon” designation helps separate the ''do’s'' and ''don'ts'' of writing creatively within the Star Wars universe. [[starwars:Canon#2014 reboot|Star Wars Canon]] (often referred to as ''nuCanon'' by members) creates a hard line of separation between the future of the Star Wars universe and the long standing history of the old ''[[starwars:Star Wars Legends|expanded universe]]'' (often referred to simply as the “EU”).

The following quote is the official policy on defining canon material by [[starwars:The Walt Disney Company|Disney]] and [[starwars:Lucasfilm Ltd.|Lucasfilm]], the controlling companies of the Star Wars franchise:

<blockquote><span style="font-size:88%">
''On April 25, 2014, Lucasfilm announced that all Expanded Universe material is now reorganized under the non-canon "Legends" banner to make way for the "new canon" to take place. The new canon began on screen with the Star Wars Rebels animated television series and in print with the novel A New Dawn. Under the direction of the Lucasfilm Story Group, all elements of Star Wars canon now operate in a unified and collaborative storytelling setting. The "new canon", which was set forth on April 25, 2014 and which is overseen by the Lucasfilm Story Group, exists in a connected "one universe" continuity. This means that, beginning with the Star Wars Rebels animated television series and the 2014 novel A New Dawn, all officially-licensed Star Wars storytelling from this point forward stands on equal canon footing.''
</span></blockquote>

The important words to take from this are that the old expanded universe has been “recategorized.” This is very important to understand. It is important, because it means that your favorite stories and characters were not deleted. They have not gone anywhere. They are still there for you to read, reference, and love. Beyond that, so far we’ve seen a commitment by the ''nuCanon'' to bring back or allude to events or characters from the ''Legends''. Prominent characters like [[starwars:Thrawn|Thrawn]] have already been brought back into the new canon timeline thanks to shows like ''[[starwars:Star Wars Rebels|Star Wars: Rebels]]''.

Fan favorites like Jacen and Jaina Solo, Mara Jade, Corran Horn or even the Yuuzhan Vong are still there for you to love and cherish. You can still go back and re-read your favorite paperbacks and comics. They are no longer, however, considered to be part of the new canon universe that we base our canon on. They will continue exist solely in Legends, until a time in which the Lucasfilm Story Group brings them back into the fold.

You can see a handy breakdown of things from Legends that have resurfaced so far (as of 2/11/17) in an article published by iO9 [http://io9.gizmodo.com/everything-star-wars-has-reintroduced-from-the-old-expa-1792224856 here.]

== Dark Jedi Brotherhood Canon ==
With the Star Wars franchise taking a hard-line stance on this approach to new Canon material, Grand Master Pravus made the decision to have the Dark Jedi Brotherhood conform and adapt to the new Canon timeline. The reason for this decision was to keep the club as current and forward-moving as possible with the aim of growing and appealing to a new generation of Star Wars fans that might not necessarily know about the characters or events of the ''Legends'' expanded universe.

This decision obviously created some challenges and obstacles, as the Dark Jedi Brotherhood’s long standing fiction and history has been deeply rooted in the now ''Legends'' EU material since its earliest days. To create a working compromise and solution, the Dark Council created a separate label for the Brotherhood’s fictional material: “Brotherhood Canon”, or ''DB Canon'' for short.

=== Frequently Asked Questions and Answers ===

'''Q: What is DB Canon?'''

''A: “DB Canon” mirrors Star Wars Canon, and uses its material as a source book. Creative liberties are then taken by the leadership of the DJB on a case-by-case basis to both preserve the history of the Brotherhood and its characters while also creating the best optimal experience for new, current, and returning members.''

'''Q: Where do we draw a line between the new Star Wars Canon, and the Star Wars Expanded Universe? Who makes these decisions? '''

''A: The line is determined by the Dark Council as a collective. We discuss and make decisions based on logical application of material made available to us in order to create what is ultimately the "DB Canon." The focus for this is to keep the club as current and forward-moving as possible, with the hopes of growing and appealing to a new generation of Star Wars fans that might not know anything about the events of the characters and stories that are have been rebranded as “Legends”. There is also a subjective element that comes into play. This element is harder to define, because there are simply things that we, as the leaders of the club, do not think make logical sense. That means balancing the fictional applications of things.''

'''Q: What happens if something from “Legends” shows back up in the new Canon?'''

''A: The Voice, Dark Council, and often their staff look at the new material and determine if it fits into the DB Canon and Character Sheet system.''

'''Q: Star Wars Rebels is “Canon”, and I saw one of the Inquisitors use their gyroscopic lightsaber to fly. Does that mean I can use my lightsaber to fly too!?'''

''A: Just because something happens in new Canon doesn’t mean that it will automatically become DB Canon. This is where that subjective element comes into play from the Voice and the Dark Council as a whole. We draw certain lines based on our knowledge of the Character Sheet system and its intended vision for use in the Dark Jedi Brotherhood.''

In short? No, you can’t use your lightsaber to fly because it makes no sense and doesn’t fit into the confines of the Dark Jedi Brotherhood’s Character Sheet system.

=== DB Canon Restrictions ===

* Lightsabers cannot be used to fly.
* Lightsabers are powered by [[starwars:Kyber crystal|kyber crystals]], but members of the Dark Jedi Brotherhood are not required to adhere to the “Bleeding” crystal properties that were established in the [[starwars:Ahsoka Tano%27s white lightsabers|Ahsoka novel]]. In the story, [[starwars:Ahsoka Tano|Ahsoka]] learns that kyber crystals have to “bleed” and become corrupted by the [[starwars:Dark side of the Force|dark side]] in order to get to the crimson hue known to adherents of the dark side and the [[starwars:Sith|Sith]]. Ahsoka is able to purify the bleeding crystal, which gives her a set of argent gray crystals she uses to power her new lightsabers.
* In the DB, your lightsaber color can be whatever you select, based on the options available to members of the DB. See the [[Lightsabers|Lightsaber]] codex for more information on lightsaber colors, types, and restrictions.
* While Ahsoka is able to cause the crystals inside the [[starwars:Sixth Brother|Sixth Brother’s]] lightsaber to malfunction and “blow up” in his face, this was a result of the mechanical elements of the lightsaber itself being overwhelmed versus the kyber itself self-destructing. Otherwise she wouldn’t have been able to use it to power her “pure” lightsabers.
* Cybernetic limbs, such as [[starwars:Luke Skywalker|Luke]] or [[starwars:Anakin Skywalker|Anakin’s]] replacement hands, function the same as a the limbs they replace. They function cosmetically and offer no bonus attributes like added strength or agility.
* While [[starwars:Kanan Jarrus|Kanan]] in ''Star Wars: Rebels'' is blinded and now able to “see” through the Force, it is important to keep in mind he is a powerful [[starwars:Jedi|Jedi]] with years of survival that has demonstrated his talents in defeating an overpowered cybernetically-enhanced [[starwars:Denetrius Vidian|Count Vidian]], a [[starwars:Grand Inquisitor|Grand Inquisitor]] and even [[starwars:Darth Maul|Darth Maul]]. The DB Character System features the [https://www.darkjedibrotherhood.com/character_sheets/reference/feats?filter=Eyes+Wide+Shut “Eyes Wide Shut”] Feat which allows a character to “see” through the Force with limitations. This power is currently restricted to [[EQ4|Equite 4]].

=== Possessions Integration ===
With the launch of Possessions, the fictional elements of the Dark Jedi Brotherhood now have a solution to organizing and maintaining what items are available to members. Possessions is managed by the [[Regent]] team, and works alongside the Voice Staff to maintain cohesion with both systems. The following lists are not all-inclusive, but look to provide answers to the most commonly asked questions in terms of fictional application of possession items.

'''Q: What materials are not available for us in Brotherhood fiction and possessions?'''

While it’s easier to maintain a whitelist than a blacklist, the following items are the most common materials that are ''not'' available based on changes established in the new Canon and rolling into DB Canon.

* ''[[starwars:Mandalorian iron|Mandalorian Iron]]'' (from [[starwars:Star Wars%3A Knights of the Old Republic|KOTOR]]) is not a lightsaber resistant material.
* ''[[starwars:Phrik|Phrik]]'' is not available to members.
* ''[[starwars:Cortosis|Cortosis]]'' was, in the EU, a material that short circuited lightsabers. In new Canon and DB Canon, Cortosis is now treated as a highly conductive material that could absorb shock/blaster bolts.

'''Q: Which items in Possessions can block a lightsaber?'''

At the current time, the following items within Possessions are able to block lightsabers.

[[File:AspectSithAlchemy.png|center|800px]]

* Blades treated with the ''Sith Alchemy'' item aspect can block and resist lightsabers.
* The energized tips of an [[starwars:Electrostaff|Electrostaff]] resist lightsabers. The staff itself does not.
* [https://www.darkjedibrotherhood.com/item_prototypes/717 Electro whips], when activated, can resist lightsabers.
* The [https://www.darkjedibrotherhood.com/item_prototypes/581 Champion Bracer] can resist lightsabers, but not blaster bolts.
* The [https://www.darkjedibrotherhood.com/item_prototypes/582 Champion Gauntlet] can deflect blaster bolts, but not lightsabers.
* The [https://www.darkjedibrotherhood.com/item_prototypes/706 Z6 Riot Control Baton] (as seen in ''[[starwars:Star Wars%3A Episode VII The Force Awakens|Episode 7: The Force Awakens]]'') is able to resist a lightsaber.
