((I like the way you made this! Perhaps my next char will be joining you. :wink: Good luck!))

((Please use double brackets for OOC, first off. Just saying. Second, you may not have heard of them, and that should be expected. They are both disbanded, and thus, under inactive guilds, there simply for archival. Third, why I say that is from experience... These guilds both started truly successfully, but the RAVENS, though once working for Justice and Peace (Outside of the law) fell and were corrupted into a simple group of cutthroats, and soon fell apart. The WHITE Ravens were a successful and good group of RPers. But the fact they worked outside of the laws for much the same goals, caused several nations to band together and wipe them out. Continue on as you wish. I am simply warning you that it will likely be short-lived.))

((This is WAY too similar to both the White Ravens and the Ravens... Both of them ended rather badly...))

((And... Disbanded. It's going to live on, but it'll be unofficial, the beliefs passed on through RP means. Hereforth INACTIVE))

Updated, after seeing a crucial bit of lore not on the MA or wiki.

*There is a black dark bird flying through the air, a note in it's beak. It seemed to have been flying towards Kalos with it, but the note accidentally drops out of it's beak. You reach out to take it, curious, and you begin to open it.* Church of the Libran Puritans The Creed ((To Be Expanded Upon)) Be at peace, for Iblees is Aeriel, Aeriel is Iblees, and the Creator made them both. Both are the same, simply different perspectives. Seek balance in life, seek truth in death, and justice in the heart. Live life freely, live life as you will. Goals We seek Justice, Truth, and Liberty, and Balance. We seek to end the discriminations of faith. We seek to encourage faith, but leave it a choice. We seek to unite the faiths, such that those who worship the Creator will no longer clash with those who worship Aeriel and/or Iblees, or vice versa. The Unknown Goals - We have goals not open to the public. The Lore ((To be expanded upon)) The Church of the Libran Puritans in itself is not old, but the faith from which it stems is ancient, many of it's scrolls lost to time. It's central belief is that Aeriel is Iblees. Now almost an obscure cult, the Church rises from the ashes of the old, and seeks to promote faith through the liberty of choice, the unity of religions, and through the search of justice. Rules (Will constantly revise, expand upon, and change rules, as they come under scrutiny) 1.To kill a member of the church outside of self-defense is forbidden. 2. Always attempt to work out a non-violent solution to a problem. (The killing of Undead are exempt from this rule) 3. Racism will NOT be tolerated. Treat the people with respect, regardless of race. 4. Religious discrimination is NOT to be tolerated. This includes the burning of "heretics." 5. Respect. Respect. Respect. Most important rule. 6. If you see Rose, or Inquisition members, do not engage them, with the exception of if they are in the midst of torturing another or burning a "heretic." 7. Do not kill without need or orders. Exceptions here, but most will not be known to the public. 8. Torture is a big NO NO. No second chances here, prolonging the unnecessary pain or death of a person is abhorrent, no matter who they are or what ends you mean to achieve. 9. We are a peace seeking order, so do NOT simply sacrifice a non-faith member. If you require a sacrifice, use an animal. Failing that, a cultist who agrees to be used as a sacrifice ((IC and OOC)). If you cannot find a cultist who is willing, then, and ONLY then can you use a non-faith member for sacrifice, but you must make announce yourself, and your intentions, first, and allow the citizen to make the first move. Roles and Positions Positions: 1. Church Member - Anyone can be this one. You've been baptised by the church, and are now an official member. 2. The Minister - The ministers help carry out various ceremonies. There are two here, the Ibleesan Minister, who handles the ceremonies that are seen as sinister, and that of the Aerielan Minister, who handles those of which are meant to be healing. No magic required, you handle the mundane preparations. 3. The Priest - This one needs to be skilled in the arts of Clerical magic or in Necromancy, depending if you are heading down an Aerielan or Ibleesan path, respectively. He handles the arcane, spiritual part of the ceremonies. He will perform the rare mass, as well. 4. The Shadespeaker - They speak to various spirits, including those of the divine, and those of the dead. They follow the Ibleesan path. They advise the Church with the magics of a Lutauman. 5. The Landhealer - They use Druidic magic in order to heal land ravaged by destruction, and to learn what happens all around the world through the knowledge of the trees and birds. They follow the Creator's path. 6. The Prayer - They use prayer to communicate with Aeriel, calling on his dreams to aid the Church. They advise the Aerielan path, and requires Farseer magic. 7. The Light - This is one of the four leaders, this one leads the followers of the Aerielan path, and meets with the Shadow and the Tree in order to choose the path that is best collectively. Is advised by the Prayers. 8. The Shadow - This is one of the four leaders, this one leads the Ibleesan path, and meets with Light and Tree constantly, looking for the path that will be best for all. Is advised by the Shadespeaker. 9. The Tree - This is one of the four leaders, this one leads the Creator's path, and meets with Shadow and Light to discuss the best way for all. Is advised by the Landhealers. 10. The Scales - This is the one who looks over the big picture, and makes the final decision on what the Church does. He does not lead nor follow a particular path, and must be Tainted of Iblees, and Blessed of Aeriel. ((He needs to take on a secondary descendant's curse, but must have high morals.)) Roles ((To Be Expanded Upon, please send suggestions via PM)) Ibleesan Roles 1. The Executioner: When a man is found guilty of breaking a major Church rule, this guy cuts the other guy's head off. One of the exceptions of Rule 1. ((Requires Evils 1a and/or 3a (Killing for the breaking of Church laws, if that is covered by this).)) 2. The Necromage: The dark wizard, mages and necromancers fall under this category. He uses his arts to display the power of the church. Again, torture will NOT be tolerated. ((Requires Necromantic Magic, Minor Evils 3a, and 4a)) 3. The Stalker: This is the person who comes at night, drags you off the bed, and brings you to the Ibleesan followers to be sacrificed. He must be honourable to a fault, making sure you are given the best he can provide before your death. ((Requires evils 1b (Lock-picking), 2c (Kidnapping) and 3a (Zealotry and Murders/Sacrifices in name of The Church)) 4. Shadow: The spies and the wanderers. He moves swiftly and easily from role to role. The Jack of all trades. They tend to be the ones who are sent with warnings. Aerielan Roles 1. The Cleric: This is that guy who sees your broken body on your doorstep, and attempts to heal you with magic. ((Requires healing magic of some form)) 2. The Preacher: This is that guy who is a fanatic about his faith, constantly spreading the word of the Puritans. 3. The Caregiver: This is that one who goes and sees a lost soul outside, and goes to bring him inside, get him some food and give him some shelter. 4. The Knight: This is that guy who protects the weak, no matter who they might be. The definition of honourable. ((Requires Evils 2a or 3a)) Creation Roles 1. Druid: Remember that guy, who helped grow an entire forest in a matter of minutes? Or maybe that one who got herbs and prepared you medicines that would cure you of that disgusting wasting disease? Or the one who told you to stop mindlessly ripping the forest apart? Or not to hurt the chicken? This is that guy, caring endlessly for Nature's creation's. ((Requires Druidic Magic)) 2. The Gardener: This is that guy who tends to the flowers and gardens, the one who likes a natural creation but cultivated by man. 3. The Labourer: This is that guy who enjoys the creations of man, and works hard to make something ugly, beautiful. (Artists, scholars, scribes, builders, etc) Universal/Libran Roles 1. The Monk: The traveler, he fights with a staff, encouraging but not forcing people to embrace faith of any kind. ((Requires Evils or 3a)) 2. The Judge: He decides if a man is guilty or not, and calls out for a just and fair punishment. 3. The Assassin: This guy has no wish or desire to kill you. It's not personal. But if you've broken certain laws of a nation or of the Puritan Church, and you did not give yourself up to authorities of either, this guy comes to get you, dead or alive. ((Requires evils 2c (Kidnapping), 1b (lock-picking, breaking/entering, etc), 2a (Murder), Minor Evil 3a (Zealotry).)) 4. The Member: The day to day members of the Church, they continue on with their lives as normal. ((Requirements and Recommendations 1. All combat based classes are required to have Assassination and/or Zealotry VAs. 2. It is suggested that you have Minor Evil 4b. 3. It is suggested you change your character name to include their position and/or role, as well as choose a skin that fits said things)) *At the bottom of the note, a letter is attached* M-, I'd like to restart my faith as was originally intended when you found me. I do not want it to be as it was from whence I came, impure and corrupt. I'd like to restart it, unfettered by racism, religious discrimination, and war. It should be unbiased and peace seeking, but should seek justice as well. I hope that this sits well with you. I am sorry if it does not. -S ((The App In the form of a letter, include a bit of a background history of your character, why he/she'd like to join, the roles he could take (and/or which one he'd rather), which path he would like to take, whether he/she is or was in another organization, and which ones, and of course his/her name. After, include OOC details such as MC name, other characters, etc.))

*A raven is seen flying from Elysium* I am Shadow ((Sancor)), tainted of Iblees, blessed of Aeriel. Go to Elysium. Wait in the Sunsorrow Inn. I will come for you, and from henceforth, you are a Lost One. ((Also, what is your MC name and RP name?))
