Reaching Knight
To reach the rank of Knight, we have laid out a series of sub-ranks or stepping stones, for you to follow. Please make a thread tracker topic, where you list out all of your topics, that you believe will contribute to reaching the rank of Knight and eventually Master.
Please contact post in that thread and tag your mentor, or the Knights Commander, when you believe you are ready to move up to the next sub-rank.
The exception to this is that for main ranks (Knight and Master) this will be decided by the faction and you will be informed when you are awarded these titles.
Please note, the sub-titles below are specific to this faction and not board wide.
Uninitiate (UNI)
Members of this starting rank, the lowliest of our sacred Order, have just begun their toilsome path in the Force. Once assigned an master, Uninitiates must update an in-depth biography and create a thread tracker. After completing a short introduction to the Obsidian Order in character and completing these steps, they progress to the next rank
Initiate (IN)
Initiates of the Obsidian Order have started to find their connection to the Force. The Obsidian Order gives its members freedom to choose whichever path they desire. At this rank you will be bestowed with a full lightsaber, usually constructed by your mentor. However, to progress from this rank the Initiate must complete a training thread with their mentor on basic Force abilities.
Acolyte (AC)
This modest title is for Jedi who have started to master the basics of the Force. The Obsidian Order expects all of its members to have a grounding in combat abilities, even if a different path is taken. The Acolyte must demonstrate this as part of significant effort in at least one IC thread.
Adept (AD)
This self-effacing appellation is achieved by members who are well on their way towards becoming a Knight. Members who hold this rank have already chosen which path they are to follow and have started to specialise in their training, but note that particularly specialist powers are likely attained further down the line. Adepts must work hard with their mentor and for the faction, displaying their abilities in either a Dominion or Invasion. Members will often build their own unique weapon at this stage. Progression to the next rank requires nomination and a vote among Faction Masters.
Jedi Knight (DJK)
Once promoted by the Faction, the member becomes a full Obsidian Knight and gains a measure of autonomy from their master to follow their own path.
