Ranks:

Younglings:

This stage is for any members who are joining. They must stay in this stage until they pass the trial. They are taught in groups by a Jedi Master. They learn the basics of all the different ranks. They are never allowed outside the pride lands. Once a Youngling is ready to become a Padawan they are put through the Younglings trial.

When a character joins the pride they are placed in one of the clans by a seer. The clans sleep together, eat together and train together. Occasionally two or three clans will group up for lessons depending on the member count.

Youngling Clans When a Youngling joins they are placed in a clan by the Jedi Council. The clans are based on the familiars.

Ratels Clan: Brave and courageous
Maned Wolf Clan: Loyal and true of heart
Waterbuck Clan: Perceived tenacity
Snake Clan: Deep insight
Serval Clan: Proclivity for stealth
Klipspringers Clan: Agility and swiftness of foot


Youngling Trials: The trials that a Youngling must face at least one of these to become a padawan.
(IC trials)
1. Understand and memorized the Jedi code.
2. Test of self-discipline
3. Either a small task they must complete or to see the dark side and conquer it.
(OOC Rps)
1. Have a rp where the Youngling mentions the Jedi code.
2. Either the same or different rp where the Youngling shows that they have self-discipline.
3. Final rp is either a mission or an encounter with the dark side (Could be a character trying to persuade them to disobey the Jedi way, it could be an inner battle, or something else pm the mule if you have any questions)

Padawan
Once a Youngling becomes a Padawan they are picked by a Jedi Master, Knight, or Council Member to be trained. The Master teaches the Padawan everything he/she thinks is necessary. Unlike the Youngling stage, Padawans do most of their training in the jungle outside of the temple. The accompany their Master on their missions and help any way they can. Occasionally the Master will deem the mission too hard for the Padawan and request the Padawan stay at the temple.

To become a Jedi Knight, the Padawan will have to go through trials, just like they had to when they were Younglings; except this time it will be more difficult and there is a chance they will get hurt. You must choose three Trials to take, one of which MUST be spirit to obtain the crystal for your Knight specialization.

The Five Trials are: Skill, Courage, Spirit, Flesh, and Insight.
The Padawan must show the Jedi Council that they have passed at least 3 of the Trials in order to become a knight.

Trial of Skills: In the Trial of Skill the Padawan must show a skill they have mastered to the Council
Trial of Courage: In the Trial of Courage the Padawan must face their greatest fear.
Trial of Spirit: In the Trial of Spirit the Padawan must go on a quest to find the gem that represents the rank they want when they become a Jedi Knight. They must travel into Rogue lands to find the crystal and they will not receive any help from any other Jedi. They can however get help from the outsiders.
Trial of Flesh: In the Trial of Flesh the Padawan must face great physical harm, hardship or loss.
Trial of Insight: In the Trial of Insight the Padawan goes into a room filled with darkness and must meditate. They must stay in the room for at least two days. They are supposed to think about themselves and the darkness within.


Jedi Knight

A Jedi Knight has many different roles in the pride. The role depends on what the Knight decides to focus on. A Knight is able to have one Padawan if they choose, but they must receive permission from the Council first.

Youngling Teachers: These members teach the Younglings the ways of the pride. They must protect the Younglings as well.

Peacekeepers/Jedi Diplomat : They are the ones who decide the outcome in arguments. They are also the ones sent to other lands as ambassadors.

Healer: They look after the sick and weak until they get better.

Lore Keeper The ones who keep track of the ancient text. It is their duty to protect and learn it. If a major event happens in the pride they are the ones who keep track of it. They also record seer visions.

Seer: They have visions of the past, future and present. They are highly valuable to the Jedi and the visions provide insight to their course of action. They often take on a secondary specialization to pass the time.

Guardian: They stand watch at the borders of the pride. They welcome visitors and take them to the Council. If the pride is attacked they are the first to go into battle. Their main job is to protect the pride.

Jedi Master:

The Council decides when a Knight can become a Master. It usually happens when Knights have proven themselves worthy. (OOC: They need at least 5 rps in pride to apply)

The Jedi Masters can have more than one Padawan but no more than three. Like Knights, they must get approval from the Council when picking their Padawan(s).

Those who hold the rank of Jedi Master can specialize as in the Knight stage above mentioned.

Masters are free to do what they want and do not have to ask the Council every time they want to go out on a mission.

Jedi Council Members: There are only five members of the Council (6 if you count the Jedi Grand Master) at one time. A Council member is chosen by the other acting members of the Council.

Their main duty is to make sure the pride is running smoothly as well as to make important decisions inside the pride.

They can have a Padawan (or two) though they must be able to balance it with their Council duties. Like before they can specialize in a certain rank if they choose to.

Jedi Grand Master:
The Jedi Grand Master is the most respected member in the pride. He or she is the head of the Council. Her/His voice is strongly heard in all Council affairs. His/Her vote counts as two in the Council, unless the Council meeting is about the Grand Master.

The Grand Master is chosen from the pride by the Council. They pick the one who they believe will be most just and fair and who would make a good leader.

Unless the Padawan numbers are high, the Grand Master hardly ever takes on a Padawan.

Ward: The Ward rank is given to those members who wish to live on the Jedi lands but do not want to become a jedi, or are not fit to being a jedi. They are welcome to stay on the Jedi land as long as the help bring in food and do not disturb the Jedi way of life.
