'''At present time the Disciples of Ragnos are not an in-character organisation as depicted below; this page is being kept for historical reference purposes.'''


==Introduction==
== Introduction ==
 
Hailing from deep within the [[Sepros]] system, the Disciples of Ragnos are the manifestation of their namesake's dark will. Within the ranks of the Dark Jedi Brotherhood, the newest revival of the Sith Lord's ancient cult carry out the orders of his spirit, channeled through the great sorcerer, [[Trevarus Caerick]]. Encompassing all three orders and all levels of power, the Disciples exist officially as a House of the [[Naga Sadow|Clan Naga Sadow]], and it's honorary members who have left for other positions within the Brotherhood.

To become one of the Disciples, all you need to do is contact the Quaestor, Aedile and Rollmaster of Marka Ragnos to let them know that you'd like to be one of the Solifugae; you can then begin developing your character as one of the Disciples.

The Maleficarum of the Disciples of Ragnos is the nominal leader of the Cult. Trevarus Caerick, as the Overlord of House Marka Ragnos, holds this position for life; when Caerick is not present at Ragnos Cathedral, the Anguis and Tigrist of the Disciples of Ragnos consult a council made up of the shades of powerful Dark Side users who stand in for the Overlord.

The Maleficarum has a position of spiritual dominance over the rest of the Disciples; they have the final say over whether a Disciple can move from the Noctosalutae into the rank of the Progenies, and they decide whether a Progeny can become a Scion.  The rituals undertaken by the Disciples are ideally led by the Maleficarum or, in his absence, by the Anguis and Tigrist.

The Anguis is the second highest position within the hierarchy of the Disciples of Ragnos. Responsible for formulating the actions of the Disciples based upon the guidelines and wisdom of the Maleficarum, the Anguis is the "visible" leader of the Disciples.  
The Anguis is the second highest position within the hierarchy of the Disciples of Ragnos. Responsible for formulating the actions of the Disciples based upon the guidelines and wisdom of the Maleficarum, the Anguis is the "visible" leader of the Disciples. The Anguis is always the Quaester of HMR.  


In the event that the Maleficarum should be unable to lead the Disciples of Ragnos, the Anguis and the Tigrist meet with a council of the Scions to decide upon the actions that need to be taken. The Anguis and Tigrist act as temporary leaders in the event that the Maleficarum should be incapable of performing his duties at the time.

===Tigrist===
 
{{Quote|Some there be whom shadows cloak, shadows spoke, shadows reach...|Attributed to Zeen Deheval, Krath archivist, circa 2,237 BBY}}
 
The rank of Tigrist is slightly below that of the Anguis' within the Hierarchy of the Disciples of Ragnos. It is the responsibility of the Tigrist to ensure that the Anguis' orders are followed through with and done properly. The position of Tigrist is always held by the Aedile of Marka Ragnos.
 
Should Trevarus Caerick be unable to perform what are normally his responsibilities, the Tigrist and Anguis work jointly with each other and a council of Scions in order to lead the Disciples properly during the Maleficarum's absence.

Fictionally, the Cultus is allowed to enter the Dark Library, where he or she has access to the unimaginable wisdom held within. The Cultus is also given the duty of protecting the secrets of the Dark Library, both by supervising the security of the vault and occasionally physically guarding the vault himself. This title also places the bearer as an honorary member of the Council of the Disciples, allowing him to attend meetings and put forth his ideas.

===Scion of Ragnos===
 
A Scion is the proclaimed descendant of Dark Lord Marka Ragnos; in the original Disciples of Ragnos a Scion was the actual blood relation of the Sith Lord. However, the modern Disciples realize that any blood relation of the Sith Lord has long since died off. This title now serves to honor the most prominent members.

The Progeny is an important asset to the Council and will be valued over all mere Disciples. They are tested constantly by the Anguis and Tigrist both physically and mentally.  The Maleficarum pays close attention to their education, hoping that one may show the foresight and endurance needed to become a Scion.

If the Progeny undergoes the trial and their body shows the necessary changes that mark a Scion of Ragnos, then that title will be granted to them. If not, and the Progeny didn’t die, then the testing will resume until they are proclaimed a descendant of Lord Ragnos or until their lifeless corpse is buried.

==Possessions System==
==  Behind the Scenes ==
 
===  Disclaimer ===
[[File:HMRBloodstone2.png|70px|left]]The possessions system offers tangible rewards for progression in the Disciples program; by obtaining new ranks in the Disciples, members can choose from a small selection of 'loot' (including weapons) that can be displayed on their Wiki page and be used in their own writing. These weapons are obtained by earning bloodstones and using them as a currency. The possessions will be categorized in levels, starting from level one being the general everyday items up to the elite items in level five. All members will be eligible to earn items from all levels, but the cost of the higher level items will take much time, effort, and activity to attain. (Currently since this is almost out of the final stages, the weapons aren't ranked)
 
===Level 1===
 
Shirt - '''Dremora Stole''' – 100 Bloodstones
 
This stole is stitched with fine gold bullion in intricate weave with the crest of Marka Ragnos displayed prominently on each end of the stole’s fine silk, making the wearer as a righteous crusader of the Ragnosian legacy.
 
Shield - '''Shield of the Defender''' – 150 Bloodstones
 
A medium sized shield that covers from the neck to the waist, it has the Marka Ragnos' symbol emblazoned on the front.  Having a shiny, seemingly polished appearance the shield seems to reflect the action that goes on in front of it in a glassy and mirror-like image.  In addition to its already significant weight, the shield houses a metal spike that can protrude from the middle if the bearer turns the handle sharply to the left, with turning it back to the right retracts the weapon. Given its size, the shield can fit seamlessly along the arm with its efficient and ergonomic design, making it as effective in stabbing or slamming an opponent with it one minute and deflecting incoming attacks the next.
 
Scythe- '''Nightbringer''' – 175 Bloodstones
 
Not a traditional scythe, the ‘Nightbringer’ has a long shaft and a large blade that curves back slightly to allow greater damage when slashing an enemy.  The shaft is created from bones taken from those condemned to death by the Disciples- the bones are treated with a bizarre alchemical process that renders them as hard as durasteel and fused together into the shaft of the weapon.  At the bottom of the duranium blade, a glistening red ruby in the shape of the symbol of Marka Ragnos is embedded, glaring with a baleful light as it seeks to steal the light from the enemies of the weapon’s wielder.
 
Sword - '''The Sword of the Disciple''' – 175 Bloodstones
 
The Sword of the Disciple is a simple ancient weapon. A simple black handgrip and hand guard. At the end of the handgrip is a small inset of stones to show the three orders, one blue, one red and one pink. The Red stone is the biggest.  The blade itself is a simple blade with Ragnos inscribed in the blade in Aurbresh.
 
Dagger - '''Swordbreaker''' – 200 Bloodstones
 
The Swordbreaker is a very sturdy dagger that has slots on one side much like the teeth of a comb.  Wielded in a fighters off hand, the teeth of the dagger catch an opponent’s sword and hold it fast, allowing a variety of follow up techniques including breaking the sword’s blade.
 
Blaster - '''Cloaked''' – 200 Bloodstones
 
This is really a modified blaster, extremely expensive yet worth its weight if you mange to use it correctly. Just slightly bigger then a hand blaster, this handy device has a scope on the top, but also has a rapid fire trigger reaction where when the trigger is pulled to full back it will fire out a total of 30 shots right after the other.  The function itself has to be used wisely as the blaster, when fully charged fires a total of about 300 to 350 shots, depending on the make. Like most this weapon has the function to be set either on low or high blaster shots; however it also has a stunning option. The function that really makes this weapon worth its weight is the mini cloaking device built into the side of the blaster.  When this button is pressed the blaster will emit a cloaking device just big enough for the gunman. The cloak will last only 15 seconds at a time due to the small generator on the gun but can be used to either sneak up on your opponent or even to get out of a sticky situation. This function has its limits. The 15 second burst requires another 40 seconds to recharge the device, so tactical moves are always required when using this blaster. Also some reports have been given that when used, especially 5 times in a row, the drainage on the weapon takes out what is left of the fire power so it is recommend to have a back up blaster. The company who makes this blaster recommends the ‘side kick,’ a companion device to this.
 
Blaster - '''Side Kick''' – 175 Bloodstones
 
This handy blaster is slightly smaller than a regular size blaster but fits well into pretty much any holster.  It isn’t as modified as some out there, making it strictly used for back up purposes rather than for full on assault.  Like most it has a small scope, though it is built into the gun allowing it to stabilize the gunman’s shots, this is pretty much the main advantage to this weapon.  It fires about 200 shots at a time, but does not have any stun functions. It can however be leveled to either low or high blaster range.
 
===Level 2===
 
Sword- '''Obsidia''' – 350 Bloodstones
 
The jet-black blade of this sword seems to writhe before your very eyes due to the tortured souls destroyed by Marka Ragnos and imprisoned in the weapon by the complex rituals of the Scions of Ragnos.  Every swing is charged with the distant sound of bloodcurdling screams as the edge of the blade rips through the air.  The hand-and-a-half long hilt and the cross guard are made from the finest-quality duranium, colored using some arcane process and shaped into a bone-like style.
 
Blaster Pistol - '''Deathshard''' – 350 Bloodstones
 
The Deathshard blaster pistol has been created and designed as a smaller, single-handed version of the Deathbolt, but it packs the same kind of punch as a DL-44 heavy blaster pistol, giving it great stopping power.
 
Dagger- '''Demak''' – 325 Bloodstones
 
The intricate shape of this blade is designed for both stabbing and slashing, the obsidian blade sharpened on both sides.  The blade is consecrated by the Scions with a dark ritual; the blade is used on a condemned criminal who kneels before the Scion.  The tip of the weapon is then thrust swiftly down through the criminal’s shoulder and into their heart, killing them instantly.  When the blade is withdrawn, dripping with gore, it is not cleaned- the blood is offered up as an offering to Marka Ragnos, empowering the blade with his dark will.
 
Arm Band - '''Golden Trust''' 400 Bloodstones
 
[[File:Band.jpg|100px|left]]More for protection then a weapon really, this piece of gold platinum is encased in force alchemy.  It tends to be more favored by the higher noble Dark Jedi women then the men due to its design. This multi layered arm band has an inner layer of platinum which was reinforced by Sith spells to add strength to the piece as well as the wearer. This layer is surrounded by a thinner layer of yellow gold, its power adding purity to the first. The second layer is much thicker platinum. This layer is interesting as it has carved into the metal various alchemy spell symbols each one slightly different to the wearer though all contain the symbols of strength, protection, as well as enhancement.  Others have been known to be used to help find love on the battle field or even knowledge to help plan out battles as well as quickened thought reflexes in reactions. The last layer is a layer of white gold. It moves around the other layers like a snake, covering the most valued of the symbols, adding protection to the spells. The arm band itself curls around the wrist and moves up to about mid forearm. The wrist piece not quiet becoming a circle as it moves around the arm.  In the middle of the forearm it flattens out slightly purely for the added benefit of covering the artery in the arm.
 
===Level 3===
 
Gauntlet - '''Gauntlets of the Chosen''' – 600 Bloodstones
 
These ancient gloves are designed with an extended cuff to cover part of the forearm. Since the hands and arms are particularly vulnerable in hand to hand combat, gauntlets are an important piece of armor.  The gauntlet is a fully-articulated plate armor formed from the rib cages of those condemned by the Disciples of Ragnos and pulse dark power.  When worn, this dark side tainted item, can increase the wearer’s raw physical power.
 
Helm - '''Helm of Exposition''' – 600 Bloodstones
 
The helm is a combat war helmet that was popular during the Golden Age of the Sith.  Metal strips form the framework that connects to steel plates curving with the head and culminating into two long horn-like points.  The helm amplifies the wearer’s ability to wield the force and strengthens any Disciple of Ragnos weapon they are currently using.  It also has the ability to cause atmospheric disturbances within a radius of six kilometers.
 
Sword - '''Ferrum Pugnae''' – 750 Bloodstones
 
A large, two-handed sword, Ferrum pugna (translated to sword of conflict) is typically found in the hands of an Obelisk Trooper, but is known to be used by some stronger members of the Krath and Sith. A unique weapon, the middle of the blade hides a small amount of mercury that, whenever the blade is held up in a ready position, the mercury quickly fills a bulb in the haft.  However, when the weapon is used to attack an opponent, the mercury flows into the channel in the blade which allows for a stronger strike.  This heavier blade comes with a cost, as the weapon is more massive than most and the mercury can sometimes take an inexperienced user by suprise. While the majority of the blades go unaltered and sit in the armory until needed, some more dedicated wielders have been known to create and customize their own should they have the materials and time. Even the most generic blade is finely crafted with painstaking detail to ensure that the weapon meets the exacting standards needed to ensure the weapon functions properly.  This, combined with the thorough sharpening, make this blade more likely to penetrate deeply into the opponent's body ensuring maximum damage.
 
Hammer – '''Ragnosian Hammer of Doom''' – 700 Bloodstones
 
[[File:HammerD.jpg|70px|left]]A basic bludgeoning weapon fitted with a small gravity generator
 
===Level 4===
 
Battle Axe - '''Ximeno Battle-Axe''' – 1000 Bloodstones
 
Larger then a regular utility axe at about 1.5 meters, the Ximeno battle-axe is designed to be wielded with two hands.  While larger, it weighs considerably less to be much quicker in combat.  It is designed to cut the extremities of one’s enemy with a narrow slicing blade that facilitates deep and grievous wounds.  The handle is made of bone infused with metal making it virtually impossible for an enemy to cut through.  Former Overlord Ximeno’s weapon of choice was the battle-axe and this item is in honor of him.
 
Staff- '''Osseous''' – 900 Bloodstones
 
The small, forked points at both ends of this staff resemble the design that adorned the Scepter of Ragnos, but the use and purpose of this staff is much more prosaic; while the bones used in its construction were ripped from the living flesh of those condemned by the Disciples then invested with arcane energy that caused them to knit together into this staff, the weapon itself has no special powers beyond inspiring revulsion and disgust in the minds of those it is wielded against. The snake pattern that spirals up and around the staff, burnt into the bones themselves, is symbolic of the betrayal that is part of every Dark Jedi’s existence.
 
Blaster Rifle - '''Deathbolt 09-K''' – 950 Bloodstones
 
The stock of the Deathbolt blaster carbine is made from a curious hybrid of rock and bone; the trigger has the smooth texture of polished bone while what look like spinal columns trace down the sides of the weapon.  While the weapon is shorter-ranged than a normal blaster rifle, it can spit forth a blazing hail of devastating fire similar to that of the DXR6 Carbine, the output boosted by the oversized, ancient-looking power pack that the weapon boasts. 
 
===Level 5===
 
Scepter - '''Imperious Scepter''' – 1500 Bloodstones
 
A metallic scepter that forked into two spikes at the tip and has the ability to store large amounts of force energy depending on the owner’s mastery of the dark powers.  It can fire beams of energy or simply unleash a blast of energy upon hard impact with the ground.  Inside the handle is a hidden compartment that can hold one’s lightsaber.
 
 
Dagger - '''Hidden Secrets''' – 1750 Bloodstones
 
The outward appearance of this deadly weapon gives it nothing more than a hand dagger, a last ditch attempt to win a fight, however it is much more than this.  The handle has a twisted black and silver look to it, the curves making it easy to hold, molding to the fingers that clasp around it.  At the top, two silver guards sick out to either side, providing the added grip incase the dagger should slip from the hand.  Inside the handle is what is key. The back of the handle lifts up allowing a vial of poison to be inserted. The black obsidian blade of the dagger absorbs the poison radiating out through the stone.  When the victim is cut by the weapon they are affected immediately. Depending on the poison inserted into the handle the effect could be within seconds or longer.  However this also poses a problem to the wielder if incase during cleaning, or even the heat of battle, the one doing so may be cut.  To fix this issue the bottom of the handle holds a syringe. When the guards of the handle are pulled down simultaneously the syringe will slide out. The wielder must then jab their leg or arm with the syringe, this will insert the antidote to the poison allowing the holder to continue fighting.

====House Champion====
 
Just before the end of each month, the House Summit will get together with the Battleteam Leaders and select the most active member to become House Champion for that month; candidates are based on activity, participation in competitions on a BT/House/Clan/DB scale, and general House involvement. The House Champion becomes the Cultus Ordinem for the next both; fictionally he or she gains access to the untold knowledge stored in the Dark Library, while non-fictionally this person is allowed to House Summit meetings to bring his or her ideas to the House. Also, as an optional choice, the Cultus can insert a mini-report into Quaestor's weekly reports to inform the House of any ideas/project/thoughts; this allows the Cultus to get a feel of writing reports for a future leadership position within the Dark Jedi Brotherhood.

The Jedi were real?
This article is part of the history of Clan Naga Sadow and isn't part of current events.
Please do not remove this tag or the contents. These articles exist for historic purposes.


The Disciples of Ragnos are a theocratic cult that believes in the divinity of Marka Ragnos. In organisational terms, the Disciples are part of a role-playing system created by Ashura Isradia to encourage character development in House Marka Ragnos.

At present time the Disciples of Ragnos are not an in-character organisation as depicted below; this page is being kept for historical reference purposes.

Introduction

Hailing from deep within the Sepros system, the Disciples of Ragnos are the manifestation of their namesake's dark will. Within the ranks of the Dark Jedi Brotherhood, the newest revival of the Sith Lord's ancient cult carry out the orders of his spirit, channeled through the great sorcerer, Trevarus Caerick. Encompassing all three orders and all levels of power, the Disciples exist officially as a House of the Clan Naga Sadow, and it's honorary members who have left for other positions within the Brotherhood.

To become one of the Disciples, all you need to do is contact the Quaestor, Aedile and Rollmaster of Marka Ragnos to let them know that you'd like to be one of the Solifugae; you can then begin developing your character as one of the Disciples.

The Council

Maleficarum


"Some there be alone whom can call and make the shadows greet..."
―Attributed to Zeen Deheval, Krath archivist, circa 2,237 BBY

The Maleficarum of the Disciples of Ragnos is the nominal leader of the Cult. Trevarus Caerick, as the Overlord of House Marka Ragnos, holds this position for life; when Caerick is not present at Ragnos Cathedral, the Anguis and Tigrist of the Disciples of Ragnos consult a council made up of the shades of powerful Dark Side users who stand in for the Overlord.

The Maleficarum has a position of spiritual dominance over the rest of the Disciples; they have the final say over whether a Disciple can move from the Noctosalutae into the rank of the Progenies, and they decide whether a Progeny can become a Scion. The rituals undertaken by the Disciples are ideally led by the Maleficarum or, in his absence, by the Anguis and Tigrist.

Anguis


"Some there be whom shadows kiss, shadows cling, shadows rent..."
―Attributed to Zeen Deheval, Krath archivist, circa 2,237 BBY

The Anguis is the second highest position within the hierarchy of the Disciples of Ragnos. Responsible for formulating the actions of the Disciples based upon the guidelines and wisdom of the Maleficarum, the Anguis is the "visible" leader of the Disciples. The Anguis is always the Quaester of HMR.

In the event that the Maleficarum should be unable to lead the Disciples of Ragnos, the Anguis and the Tigrist meet with a council of the Scions to decide upon the actions that need to be taken. The Anguis and Tigrist act as temporary leaders in the event that the Maleficarum should be incapable of performing his duties at the time.

Cultus Ordinem of Ragnos


"Some there be whom shadows teach, shadows draw, shadows keep..."
―Attributed to Zeen Deheval, Krath archivist, circa 2,237 BBY

The Cultus Ordinem of Ragnos lies below the Scions in the hierarchy of the Disciples of Ragnos. Every month, the most active member of the Disciples is named the House Champion for that month, and become the Cultus Ordinem for the next month. It is a very prestigious honor to be given this position; it represents the dedication and hard effort the individual has put into his duties within the Disciples.

Fictionally, the Cultus is allowed to enter the Dark Library, where he or she has access to the unimaginable wisdom held within. The Cultus is also given the duty of protecting the secrets of the Dark Library, both by supervising the security of the vault and occasionally physically guarding the vault himself. This title also places the bearer as an honorary member of the Council of the Disciples, allowing him to attend meetings and put forth his ideas.

The Scions

Scion of Ragnos

A Scion is the proclaimed descendant of Dark Lord Marka Ragnos; in the original Disciples of Ragnos a Scion was the actual blood relation of the Sith Lord. However, the modern Disciples realize that any blood relation of the Sith Lord has long since died off. This title now serves to honor the most prominent members.

A potential Scion is always selected from the pool of Progenies; in fact this lesser title was created to help select future Scions. In times long past the Maleficarum would invoke the spirit of Lord Ragnos to appear and select a Scion from the available Progeny; but in recent years the spirit of Ragnos is respected in a more ritualistic, less literal ceremony.

Before being proclaimed a Scion by the Maleficarum, a Disciple must spend time in a drug-induced trance to reach a stage of illumination and clarity, using a drug that was created by Lord Ragnos to aid him in deep meditation. It was also said that this drug had the ability to shape a Scions own genetics to enhance their mind and body; which was why some believed Marka Ragnos lived as long as he did. The effect of the drug is of course only a rumor, and for security purposes it is locked away.

Scions of Ragnos answer only to the Maleficarum, as well as the Anguis and Tigrist of Ragnos.

Progeny of Ragnos

A Progeny is something of a stepping stone towards a greater power. With the attainment of this title, and the approval of the Anguis and Tigrist, the member will be invited to a ceremony where they will be presented with a signet ring with the Disciples of Ragnos emblem inscribed onto it.

The Progeny is an important asset to the Council and will be valued over all mere Disciples. They are tested constantly by the Anguis and Tigrist both physically and mentally. The Maleficarum pays close attention to their education, hoping that one may show the foresight and endurance needed to become a Scion.

If the Progeny undergoes the trial and their body shows the necessary changes that mark a Scion of Ragnos, then that title will be granted to them. If not, and the Progeny didn’t die, then the testing will resume until they are proclaimed a descendant of Lord Ragnos or until their lifeless corpse is buried.

The Structure of the Disciples

The lowest rank of the Disciples are known as the Solifugae, or 'those who flee from the Sun'; they are expected to carry out the will of the higher ranks of the Disciples. It is worth noting that the rank or position that a member holds in the Dark Brotherhood is irrelevant and unconnected to their rank in the Disciples; the ancient leaders of the Disciples adhere to traditions much older than those of the Brotherhood, so a Journeyman may outrank an Equite in the Disciples.

If a member of the Solifugae applies themself to their duties with diligence and dedication, they may be chosen to ascend to the ranks of the Noctosalutae, or 'those who hail the night'. This grants them greater responsibility and authority within the ranks of the Disciples, although they are still considered greatly inferior to the Progenies, Scions and Council of the Disciples.

Behind the Scenes

Disclaimer

The Disciples of Ragnos holds no official titles within the Dark Jedi Brotherhood or Clan Naga Sadow. It is purely a fictional device to reward members for their activity and dedication in House Marka Ragnos, and to promote character development for every member of the House. This article itself is being developed by members and is to be an amalgam of their work.

Vision Statement

House Champion

Just before the end of each month, the House Summit will get together with the Battleteam Leaders and select the most active member to become House Champion for that month; candidates are based on activity, participation in competitions on a BT/House/Clan/DB scale, and general House involvement. The House Champion becomes the Cultus Ordinem for the next both; fictionally he or she gains access to the untold knowledge stored in the Dark Library, while non-fictionally this person is allowed to House Summit meetings to bring his or her ideas to the House. Also, as an optional choice, the Cultus can insert a mini-report into Quaestor's weekly reports to inform the House of any ideas/project/thoughts; this allows the Cultus to get a feel of writing reports for a future leadership position within the Dark Jedi Brotherhood.

Roster 2009

August [TBA]
September [TBA]
October [TBA]
November [TBA]
December [TBA]

Past House Champions:

Noctosalutae, Progenies and Scions

This is basic rank system to reward House-related accomplishments. If a member has completed some of the requirements for a certain Disciples rank while completing the requirements for a promotion to the next Brotherhood rank, they may contact the Aedile, Quaestor and Rollmaster to obtain their next rank in the Disciples system.

Disciple Requirements

  • Rank of Apprentice or above
  • Be a member of House Marka Ragnos

Progeny Requirements

  • Must be one of the Disciples
  • Rank of Protector or above
  • One Dark Maven
  • SA Core Exam (Sith, Krath or Obelisk depending on Order)
  • Completion of two (2) pages of fiction describing their time as one of the Noctosalutae (Ariel, font size 12)
  • Final approval by Quaestor

Scion Requirements

  • Must be a Progeny
  • Rank of Dark Jedi Knight or above
  • Participated in Vendetta (GJW, Clan Feud, etc.)
  • At least a minimum of five (5) Seals earned
  • Three (3) pages of fiction describing their time as a Progeny and the process of becoming a Scion (Ariel, font size 12)
  • One (1) Merit Medal of Dark Cross or above for House-related accomplishments
  • Final approval by Quaestor

Role Playing

This is the most fictional part of the Disciples of Ragnos and is heavily involved with character development. Role playing allows members to expand and explore their characters in House canon through writing, anything from one page to ten pages depending on the person. The idea here is to just to Role Play and explore their character's development and time as one of the Disciples of Ragnos.

Roster

This is the current roster as to who is in what caste in the current incarnation of the Disciples of Ragnos.

Anguis

Scion

Progeny

Disciples

Solifugae to Scion (House Summit Guideline)

The Quaestor and Aedile of House Marka Ragnos should pay attention to the following criteria. You both serve a fictional role in the Disciples of Ragnos and thus the development of a members status in this fictional structure is your responsibility.

For a Disciple to advance all the way to Scion then spelling, grammar and realism need to be taken into consideration; also along with continuity for ACC and Run-On's. Spelling and grammar may not be essential until a member reaches a certain status; remember not everyone is a writer and to promote character development through House canon is your main objective. Below are some suggested requirements on what to look for.

Solifugae Requirements

  • Realism

Noctosalutae Requirements

  • Basic spelling and grammar
  • Realism
  • Character Development

Progeny Requirements

  • Good spelling and grammar
  • Realism
  • Continuity (ACC/Run-On)
  • Character Development

Scion Requirements

  • Exceptional spelling and grammar
  • Realism
  • Continuity (ACC/Run-On)
  • Character Development

IRC Role Play

House Marka Ragnos has its own channel for members to act (I)n (C)haracter and explore House canon in a "Real Time" atmosphere. The channel is #Disciples_of_Ragnos. Once you step into the channel you are stepping into a in character environment.

About

The Disciples of Ragnos was originally conceived by Ashura Isradia (based on House history) during his term as Quaestor of House Marka Ragnos, in an attempt to meet some of the expectations placed on him as House Leader. House Champion/Cultus Ordinem allows a member to try out short-term projects (which means projects that don't take long to set up) and to voice his/her ideas (along with any members ideas who would rather go through them instead of coming directly to the House Summit) Progeny allows a members personal accomplishments to be displayed, allowing a member to grow as an individual and rewarding that by letting them have a fictional impact within House canon. The position of Scion also allows a members House-related accomplishments to be displayed, superseding their accomplishments as a Progeny.

The idea of the Disciples of Ragnos is to give members an interesting avenue by which to develop their characters, and to suggest a direction in which members can focus their efforts in order to obtain Brotherhood promotions.
