Order of Lumen Application

Post by Lans » March 24th, 2021, 1:04 pm

Basics & Logistics

1. Have you read all of the prerequisites and considerations and do you agree to abide by them?

- Yes

2. What is the name of your intended Faction?

Order of the Lumen

3. What is the expected or intended size of the Faction in terms of player characters?

At start we have three and plan to obtain and train more.

4. What is the expected or intended size of the Faction in terms of its’ lore concept, and/or including NPCs?

As a Knighthood we intend to train defenders of the valley and Republic that adhere to the Laws of the Republic devotedly and ensure the protection of the valley, province, and citizens within it.

5. Roleplaying wise, how influential will the Faction strive to be? Will it tend to stick to itself and not make waves, or will it try and become a household name? How will the Faction accomplish this level (or lack thereof) of influence and reputation?

- The Order of Lumen seek to serve the dictions of the Church and ensure the safety of the people within the lands; not as ambitious in the sense of vying for any sort of power or control and are content with the rulers of the Republic, that being the College of Bishops. When threats arise that threaten the safety or security of those within the Republic, they will respond. ((Not a wave-making sort.))

6. Does the Faction have any unique colors, sigils, banners, or signage that uniquely identifies it? What is the significance of it?

Colors: Red (sacrifice, the republic, the Sacred Flame), White (The Spirit, Resolve, and Purity of the represented Church beliefs and the Eight Virtues), Black (Representative of their brotherhood/sisterhood of knights, bound together as one.)
Charge: A Blade with a Moon. [Akin to this https://www.tattooswithmeaning.com/wp-c ... ttoo-3.jpg ]
Field: Humble empty standard behind it, with many flags' trim bearing the Eight Virtues writting upon it.

Goals & Future

1. What purpose, direction or goal does the Faction have in the world at large?

The Order of Lumen intends to support and strengthen the Church as they are capable and able to do so, be it resources, man-power, or other types of aid. Their goal is to aid in the eventual Reclamation of Tor for the Republic and to primarily protect and watch over the holdings of the Republic and ensure that the people are protected and watched over, while seemingly simple enough in direction it is a much bigger task in practice than it sounds.

2. What purpose, direction or goal does the Faction have within the quarantined First Province in particular?

To establish themselves a proper base of operations to better aid the Church as well as to be able to help in watching over and protecting the people, as well as aiding in the eventual reclamation of Tor for the Republic; they do so by regularly ensuring patrols of perilous regions and extending protection and aid to the Church the many respectable civilians of the land, being a knighthood they may train their own knights to guard their base of operations but would not act as a forceful military or particularly vye for resources.

3. Role-playing wise, what would the Faction seek to accomplish within the next six to twelve months? What are their immediate and long-term goals?

Their present goal is to establish themselves and their base of support in the First Province so that they can offer their services to the Church in providing for the civilians and ensuring the protection of the people throughout the lands; they are able to do this through physical prowess as well as their ability to help grow and provide crops for the people to avoid the greater and more immediate threat of Starvation, while maintaining regular patrols to help weaken the dubious organizations in the land such as pirates, cultists, and hidden covens of malevolent warlocks such as those in Aiwella.

Their long term goals would be to obtain the sanctioning and blessing of the Official Church and to continue to serve the Republic through their means and practices, as well as aiding in the reclamation of Tor and if they are able to aid in finding a resolution to the over-bearing threat and issue of the Torment, potentially later making future holdings to help push towards Tor securely and to help aid the Republic in restoring Order and Peace to itself. [Albeit, we all know in requiem you can't 'end' all the threats, their goal tis an impossible one.]


4. Is the Faction famous or infamous for anything in particular? Will it strive to be famous or infamous for anything in the near future?

No, not particularly. Nor do they conduct themselves in service to the Republic and Church teachings for notoriety, fame, or wealth.

Concept & Community

1. Please provide the Discord handle of the intended Player Leader of this Faction that will serve to liaison with the Staff in the future:

Thoth#0001 often known as Lans or Koss

2. Please provide a summary as to the out-of-character purpose of the Faction, what sort of role you feel it will fill in-game (trading guild, PVP, PVM, etc.), and what sort of player character you intend to attract and/or support with the Faction in general.

OOCly we splintered off from the Legion after a series of unfortunate disagreements; we enjoy the general feel and play of Requiem and the faction offers a more Republic/Neutral aligned stance for people that enjoy being a part of something bigger and marching towards a noble goal -- without the context of potentially going to war over; ambitions, feelings, or suspicions. They are very much a 'Good Guy' group that like to help other people, PvM and even prefer to RP a problem through rather than resolve it with mechanics or PvP. No super-grandiose-plans or ambitions here, just good clean enjoyment of the over-arching story while being part of a fraternity of like-minded knights.

Supplemental
