I hate to beat a dead horse but I've become interested in the Nightsisters of the Dathomir Witches. I had ideas on how this might work and I'd like everyone's thoughts in the matter. I've been working on this idea and typed up somehting I pasted below. Read it, give me honest opinions. Just an F.Y.I., I have already PM'd Vance regarding my interest and am waiting to hear back from him.

Dathomir Witches - Nightsisters

It is important to begin with a brief overview of how this group will function. Essentially, the Nightsisters are an extension of The Sith Order. This means that any member is obligated to follow all rules set down by TSO, along with any set by the Nightsisters, and are subject to be expelled if they do not do so. This is a Sub-Faction, not a Faction.

For those who aren't aware of what the Nightsisters are, please investigate the following links:

Quick Notes:
Shadow Magic = Dark Side Force
Spells = Using the force, they use incantations.

FAQ's:
Who enforces the rules for the Nightsisters?
The Nightsisters are subject to the leadership of TSO.

Who will lead the Nightsisters?
Preferabley, it would benefit the Nightsisters if an existing Master from TSO creates a new character to RP as the "Matriarch" until it can be determined if they could be succeeded. This depends on if the Master, and the TSO leadership, decide a member is worthy to take on the position. It also depends on if the Master simply wishes to remain in the created character's role. The other option is to use an NPC. I prefer not to go this route due to the fact a member of the Nightsisters would be using an NPC without discretion. I'd like to avoid a "quick promotion" scenario which would simply cause problems for TRF as a whole.

How do you join the Nightsisters?
Apply for TSO specifying you are interested in the Nightsisters. TSO leadership will determine acceptance based on the same criteria used now.

How will training be conducted?
Simply put, the Nightsisters go through what is called the "Trial of Fire." You are given time to master one spell until you do. For TRF purposes, I think the "Trial of Fire" should consist of a group of spells to keep things moving. This is open to further discussion. Lightsaber training and Rancor training should also be added.

What are the ranks?
The Nightsisters have no other title other than "Nightsister" except for the Matriarch. Apprentice, Knight, and Master ranks will be tracked by TSO. Perhaps we should use the same structure for force users on TRF. For example, Nightsister Apprentice and so on. Again, this is something open for further discussion.

What force powers do they possess?
There are spellbooks which they would have to follow.

I used to have a fairly well-established character over at SWF who would probably fit very well into this. She's a weirdo subservient demon thing who's convinced that the Force is simply a form of magick. I don't know much about the Dathomir Witches, but two of the ancient roleplays I did with her include <a href="http://www.sw-fans.net/archive/forum/showthread.php?threadid=19431">this</a> and <a href="http://www.sw-fans.net/archive/forum/showthread.php?threadid=23150">this</a>. I've just been sifting through my old threads and damn, she was hella fun to play.

*EDIT: Check it out. I was actually <i>active</i> back then. Whoa.

If you'd like to be a part of it Taja, I'd love to have you on board! You officially make three interested, with a possible fourth on the way. It's pretty much up to the powers that be to make the call. I'll keep you in the loop!

Who, Surpanakha ? Dude, have you seen her ?

Ishara, are you waiting for admin approval to create your own sub-forum ?

No, from what I can tell she is asking for staff approval for starting a new faction.

*checks staff room*

If you're unsure of how much participation you're going to get, wouldn't it perhaps be a better idea to simply begin a thread in which all the members amass and establish the group's existence in character first, instead of thinking ahead to promotions and the like ? I think that'd be much easier, since you wouldn't have to worry about planetary holdings and potential takeovers or whatnot. If and when you have an adequate member-base, you could expand and become an "official" TRF (sub-)faction. I don't know, it's just a thought.

I'm patting you on the head, Taj. I'm saying, "there, there it'll be okay dear. Hush your sweet head."
