Forming the Force User Caste

[Darth Kentarch]

The purpose of this thread is for discussion and planning of the are force user branch.
Being a horde, it will not be an order it shall be a caste, much like how the vong function all together. We will have a ranking and specialization system that compares to Jedi and Sith ones, to avoid both confusion. Now my original intention was drawing inspiration of empires such as the Ottomans and the mongols, and some European influences such as the Roman/Byzantine empire and the Hungarians. Hence why you have rankings such as Pontifex(Roman), Janissary(Ottoman), Katona(Hungary), Diachin(Mongolian).

Now I took particular interest in the Janissaries because they were at one point a caste of outsiders who existed within the empire. The whole idea is to have something like that a powerful caste within the castes within The Horde. Now the first question is what do we call this order or 'Caste' and what is it's philosophy. Being part of the faction that collects and assimilates peoples of all races, beliefs, creeds, and being a union of science and life it should perhaps reflect this. For one I liked something simple like the Janissary Caste. But we should take time to expand upon this.

Well since its the horde and not just the Vong, I think limiting it to a caste could be bad. An order sounds good and the ranking structure and names you have sound amazing. But I would just say order instead of caste due to the large amount of non Yuuzhan Vong characters we have in the mix @[member="Arcturus Procyon"] also I posted to our private thread

 

[Darth Kentarch]

An order it is then. I have a rough Idea how I think it should layout

DIA'CHIN ORDER
-Disciple
-Janissary
-Pontifex


Katona -
Huszar -
Summoner-

I was editing things and the damn site crashed which is why the content is gone.

Guess I'm a summoner, huh.
I like it. Dunno why sorcerers get their own rank since it's still Force use, but cool elsewise.

 

[Darth Kentarch]

It supposed to be a specialization. You would be a Disciple with a Summoner specialization. Like with the Sith, Arcturus is a Sith Apprentice with a Sorcerer specialization. Understand?

 

[Nyxie]

Ah, cool.

 

[Dredge]

Awesome, I love it

 

[Yzhan Tu]

Can my character still be a Templar, I'm willing to change it but I'm just wondering.

 

[Darth Kentarch]

Yes, since the ideology of the horde is the assimilation of others. I've given this order an Eastern theme, and I would prefer it was inclusive.

 

[Dredge]

HE'S SO FUZZY!!

 

[Darth Kentarch]

...yeah.

 

[Yzhan Tu]

You can touch me if you want, no wondering hands though... grrrrrrrr

@[member="Arcturus Procyon"] Good work, looking forward to being a part of this..

have we gotten tenets, or a mantra yet?

 

[Darth Kentarch]

We do not @[member="Isis Fontana"]. I'm looking at some symbols and whatnot, and I have general idea how the tenets or creed of the order will play out.

I can't get the photo thing to work right, but here is my idea for a Mantra: http://t0.gstatic.com/images?q=tbn:ANd9GcTwUqbw9nF2BRp6YUOfwNJIIYWrR1yFCiEIcmLOesNd-004C3ti

If anyone want to add something now is the time.

 

[Dredge]

[Darth Kentarch]
