Amans In Tenebris

The Covenant of the Black Rose is a Darkside Sisterhood. But we are more than just a Faction.....we are a family. As a Darkside oriented Faction, we do not just see in colours of Sith, Dark Jedi, or Darkside Rogues. We see only in one spectrum, the haunting and beautiful embrace of the Darkside. And it's within this Darkside veil that all women of every species is not only just welcomed...but educated in the reality of who truly holds the galaxy by it's throat.
But wait, one doesn't need to be gifted the nature of the Force to become a member of the family. Even those women untouched by the Force still possess the wisdom and fortitude in reshaping the galaxy as it was meant to be. "What a man can do...a woman can do twice as better and more efficiently." Does that appeal to you? As a woman in a 'man's galaxy', it should more than appeal to you, it should offend you to know that's just the opposite of what the galaxy decrees as absolute truth and fact.
But the galaxy is blind and uneducated.
But make no mistake, behind every great woman stands a man. Equality is a lie. However, men are welcomed to join the Black Rose as well, and there will be something there for you as well.
There are many facets to the Black Rose. To hold fast to only one path, the bonds of restriction grows tighter. Within the Black Rose, we do not accept the idea of limitations but instead encourage growth and expansion. Options....options is what we give you.
1. Sith Alchemy
2. Sith Magick
3. Virology
4. Toxicology
5. Xenopaleontology
6. Xenobiology
And many more available to both Force users and non-Force users.
If wielding a lightsaber, or throwing around people and objects via the Force, or science isn't your style; perhaps the military suits you best. Yes, that's right. We are always looking for a few good women and men to lead both ground and space forces into battle.
* But wait....why should I join? What makes the Black Rose different than any other Darkside Faction?
Good questions.
We are not just about the Force, the Darkside, or simply reaching out and taking power through killing, invasions, or destruction. We understand there is more to the galaxy than just simple gestures with a hand to extract knowledge. Hard work, challenges, trial and error, and determination to unlock mysteries that can't simply be picked is rewarding in it's self. To deny yourself the opportunity to achieve success on different level, is to rob yourself of everything the galaxy has to offer you.
* So I don't have to be Sith or Dark Jedi to join, just follow the Darkside?
Correct! Within the Black Rose we have Sith, Dark Jedi, and Rogues among our ranks as well as members that have no affiliation with any rank/title. Also, we have Ladies/Lords, Knights, and Masters available to train those that need or want training.
* My character is a NFU....what can I do?
Simple. Military positions are available. If that doesn't appeal to you, the Black Rose prides itself on scientific pursuits and advancements. Though not every project is for the betterment of the galaxy. However, regardless if you are experimenting on seeking cures or developing bio-weapons in our labs, you will always have the full support of the Black Rose.
* I have male character and thinking of joining, yet you stated Equality is a lie. Explain?
Equality is a lie. Why? To think of yourself as an equal to anyone, regardless of gender or standing, only weakens you. By embracing the concept that you are not equal to others, it allows you to challenge yourself, better yourself, and force yourself to stand out among the masses. Here at the Black Rose we encourage individualism not collectivism. Collectivism leads to complacency. Complacency leads to stagnation. However, the Black Rose is and always has been directed toward the females. Only recently have we decided to open the doors to males.
* You mentioned there were other options one could pursue or learn. Such as?
The Black Rose is in the process of undergoing some changes and we have many projects/ideas in the works. Not all have been put 'pen to paper' yet, however, at the Black Rose we take member's opinions and ideas very seriously. If you joined and have an idea for a sect, we don't use the term sub-faction, then simple start an OOC thread, express your idea and the Administration team will get back to you quickly.
