Faction Appendix
Spoiler (click to show/hide):
A character may start with any faction. Although choosing a factions changes only how long you've been apart of this world.
Awakened- Those newly born into this world and those that may have even lived centuries are within its council. The Awakened themselves tend to remain impartial while roaming the lands of the after life. Never truly serving anyone else but their order.
Avalon's Shield- The Law for most of the land and people. Those that serve the Avalon uphold the law to their own accord. Their influence is strongly held in towns or cities under their protection. Although not many see too kindly to them they do maintain what order there is. At the cost of a few freedoms and non-essentials.
The Guild- A group of Merchants and other such persons for hire. Dealing with matters both lawful and unlawful. The guild finds themselves in the world of trade. Favoring whatever side that has contracted their members. However it is not uncommon for its members to be forced to fight one another due to conflicting contracts. Each member is considered an independent and for the most part is ultimately accountable for their actions while the Guild can keep themselves at a distance for the benefit financial gain and future dealings.
Usurpers of Shadows- A very small faction that seems to follow the path of Anarchy. Opposing the Avalon's control for whatever reason its members feel appropriate. Outside of what Avalon's Officials have said about the Usurpers little truth is known to the public of their purpose. Only rumors of hateful anarchist to strong willed freedom fighters.
You may make your own faction however it will need my approval.
(There is still more I have to pull out from the rp but I'll allow those to get a heads start and start building a waitlist for players. However I will accept those that finish their characters first. Note not all the info is yet converted and edited yet but for now you have a head start.)
