Name: The Salvation
Purpose: To spread death as much as possible. To free others from the mortal bondings of this world. They give up their rights to an early death and deal with the trudge of life to do this. It's because of this that they believe they are more transcended then others. In their own mind's their martyr's, self sacrificing their rights for the greater good.
Head Quarters: They run the hamlet like settlement called Rapture. Like other factions they have settlements across the known world but it is here that they have major meetings and plan their operations. The entire city itself works as their headquarters.
Characteristics: The most obvious indicator of a Salvationist is the uniform they wear. Each caste has it's own unique uniform but they all have the Symbols of Salvation imprinted on them. A unique set of tattoo's that covers different area's depending on the caste. When one reaches a new caste the ink based mages of the clan alter their tattoo's to fit their new role.
Caste:
The Prophet: The leader of the Salvation and one who claims to talk directly to the hungry maw that is the after life. His tattoo's are a custom set made by him that covers his entire body from head to toe. His uniform can consist of whatever he likes as long as he wears the royal crown, ring and necklace
The Disciples: A council of high priests whom advise the prophet and act as a ruling board within the faction. They are all apointed by the Prophet and while the Prophet is more of a symbol, the board of 8 priests has almost full control of the factions operations. Their tattoo's cover their faces. Their clothing is that of large silk robes which obscure most of their appearances. They each wield a specific object of importance to them as a symbol.
High Priests: The next step for priests, high priests are the equivalent to section commanders in almost any other faction. They foresee the actions of their section, such as the High Priest of The Rug's detachment or The Gardens Detachment. They report directly to the Disciples and the Prophet. Their tattoo's cover their stomach and chest. Their clothing is that of Spanish conquistador armor with a large robe on top of it, except instead of silver or Grey in color, it's black.
Priests: The team leaders of each acolyte squad, they have direct sway over what actions their team takes. They report directly to the High priest in their area. Their tattoo's cover their arms and legs and their uniform is that of Spanish conquistador armor, except instead of silver or Grey in color, it's black.
Acolytes: The life blood of the group, the foot soldiers whom carry out the missions assigned to them by the group. They report to their team leader priests and wear armor similar to a mayan warrior, being simply war paint, some animal hides and an ornamental hat of their choosing. Their tattoo's are on their hands.
Initiates: Grunts, recruits, slacks, fish, frosh, what have you. There the newbies who haven't been inducted into the religion yet. They have many trials ahead of them, wear whatever clothing their told to and have yet to receive any of the clan's tattoo's.
