Below is a list of all the ranks available to members of the Sith Order.
Acolyte: Initiates to the Sith Order do not deserve to be called Sith yet, and so they are referred to simply as "Acolytes" and/or "Adepts". At this time, they are not allowed a sith name or any title. In fact, they aren't considered to be real sith yet. However, if they survive the harsh training that culls the weak from our order, they will be promoted, and welcomed fully into the order.
Once you've completed your training as an Acolyte, there are three paths within the sith that are avaiable to you. You may pick the way of the Marauder, the path of the Assassin, or the road of the Sorceror.
Sith Marauders: were often responsible for the most brutal acts carried out by the Sith. Their training emphasized the aggressive use of a lightsaber rather than the Force. A Sith Marauder's berserk physical prowess was a dark side technique fueled by hatred, rage, and cruelty. Thus, most Marauders could duel an average Jedi toe-to-toe and win easily. Caring little for the subtleties of manipulating others and lacking a deep understanding of the Force, Marauders were often burdened with carrying out the wishes of the Sith Lords.
Those who've just started their training as Marauders are given the title of Warrior and are allowed to adopt their own "Sith name". Once their basic training is completed, they are given the rank of Marauder and submitted to the most advanced training available.
Sith Assassin: were a sect of covert Force-sensitive killers secretly founded by Darth Revan on Malachor V during the Mandalorian Wars. The Sith assassins are unique because they preferred to ambush their intended prey from the shadows rather than engaging them in open combat.
Unlike the assassins of Revan's era, the Assassins in Recrus's order rely solely on the force for stealth, mastering the powers of Force Camouflage and Force Cloak early in their training. They also train in force powers that allow them to quickly kill and disable their targets.
Acolytes who are undergo Assassin training are given the title of sniper until they demonstrate proficiency with Force Camouflage. Like the Warriors, they are allowed to adopt their Sith name.
Sith Sorceror: an individual who was proficient in the arts of Sith magic, using spells, talismans or incantations to focus the power of the dark side. Sith sorcerers gained their powers through intense study of Sith traditions, and applications of the dark side of Force. Recrus has begun work to rediscover the secrets of Sith sorcery and alchemy. Unfortunately, his discoveries have been small and relatively unimpressive just yet. Those who decide to become sorcerors are also researching to uncover more of these secrets. However, they also study more conventional uses of the Force.
Those who undergo sorceror training are given the rank of magician and allowe dto adopt their own Sith name. Once they've undergone basic training, they are given the title of Sorceror.
Sith Lord: The best Marauders, Assassins, and Sorcerors are given the rank of Lord. Sith Lords used the dark side of the Force to inflict misery, suffering, and corruption. They were also tasked with preserving the lore of the Sith by passing all their knowledge on to their acolytes. While they did not enter combat as often as lesser Sith (preferring to use pawns, servants, or proxies), they were the most fearsome of the Sith as they were the keepers of the Sith's greatest secrets and wielders of its most potent sorceries.
At this rank, sith are allowed to assume the honorary title of Darth, as well as given the official rank.
Current Lords: Tanya, Zorrix
Sith Council: The fiercest, wisest, and most cunning of the Sith Lords are given the duty of joining the Sith Council. These beings work together to both offer advice to the Dark Lord, and ensure that his orders are executed as quickly as possible. It is only through this pool of elite individuals that the Dark Lord is selected.
Council Members: Tanya, Zorrix
Dark Lord of the Sith: Dark Lords of the Sith were the greatest and most powerful of the Sith Lords. Up until the reign of Kaan, it was a title that was only given to those that were acknowledged as the leaders of their order, but by the end of the New Sith Wars the title was held by many Sith Lords simultaneously. Under Recrus's rule, the title of Dark Lord is once again held by one being.
Current Dark Lord: Lord Recrus
It should be noted that the rank of Sith Master does not exist. Master is strictly a term of respect between a teacher and their student.
In case there is any question about the meaning of each rank, here's a comparison:
Jedi youngling = Sith Acolyte
Padawan = Warrior, Sniper, and Magician
Knight = Marauder, Assassin, and Sorceror
Jedi Master = Sith Lord
Jedi Council Member = Sith Council Member
Grandmaster = Dark Lord of the Sith
If you have any questions about rank, feel free to PM me and ask them.
Unless otherwise stated, you will be starting off as an acolyte. If you want a higher starting rank, PM me and we will discuss it.
