<div align="center"><span class="bbc_size" style="font-size: 12pt;"><span class="bbc_u"><strong>The Order of the Eye</strong></span></span></div><br/>The Order of the Eye, is a clan bent on the destruction of the veil and world as we know it. This is a very secretive sect and though membership is not impossible it is an arduous task to overcome. It consists of Humans and Demon Possessed. (Other Non-humans may join, but they are few and far between)<br/><br/>The Order is simply a massive coalition lead by demons, with no real organization to it that depends on brute strength and numbers. There combat strategy is extremely lacking and they typically charge into battle and destroy everything; every man for himself.<br/><br/><ul class="bbc_list"><li type="disc">Destroyer- Leader of the Order is only seen by the High Priests</li><li type="disc">High Preist- Only 2 High Priests in the Order these answer directly to the Destroyer.</li><li type="disc">Priest- This rank is for those that have mastered their individual abilities. Mostly made of humans who have nearly mastered their magical abilities.</li><li type="disc">Soldier- This is the more elite fighting force. The recruits seem like cannon fodder and the Soldiers are usually made up of Demon Possessed, Non-Humans or Elite Humans.</li><li type="disc">Recruit- The lowest level for The Order, as long as your goal is to open the veil, you can join The Order and this is where you will start.</li></ul><div align="center"><span class="bbc_size" style="font-size: 12pt;"><strong><span class="bbc_u">The Kindred</span></strong></span></div><br/>The Kindred are another of the mysterious factions currently residing in New York. Their goal is to prevent the veil’s condition from worsening. These persons of pure intent hope to protect this plane from the dangers the other lands present. It is no effortless feat to enter the ranks of this clan, but this may be due to their scarceness. This Faction consists of Shifters, Vampires and Humans.<br/><br/>The Kindred is actually a network of much smaller packs, covens, and tribes. This means there can be multiple den masters in The Kindred. They 'link up' occasionally to fight off members of the Inquisition or Order and in dire situations to protect themselves. They will also work together to undermine an operation by the Order.<br/><br/>The Kindred use hunting tactics in battle, divide and conquer, strategically picking off members of the opposing group one by one. The best way to fight the Kindred would be to lay traps and ambushes, though this is very difficult due to their enhanced senses.<br/><br/><ul class="bbc_list"><li type="disc">Den Master- Usually a Non-Human and usually the strongest and most powerful in the group.</li><li type="disc">Enchanter- This role is for the most powerful mage in The Kindred. This person is practiced in the art and hard to kill.</li><li type="disc">Warrior- Next to the Den Master, these men/women are the best fighters in The Kindred. Not necessarily the oldest, but some of the most powerful. Very few humans make it this far.</li><li type="disc">Adept- This role can be filled by humans and non-humans alike. If humans are in this role, they're practiced in the magic arts or qualified warriors.</li><li type="disc">Recruit- Usually called "Pup" or "Cub" this rank is the entry level for The Kindred, almost anyone can fit in here and move their way up.</li></ul><div align="center"><span class="bbc_size" style="font-size: 12pt;"><strong><span class="bbc_u">The Inquisition</span></strong></span></div><br/>Finally there is The Inquisition, an equally ambiguous group; consisting of only humans bent on the destruction of Non-humans. Modern day ‘Monster Hunters’, they don’t care if the beings are good or evil and will kill them simply because they are abominations in their eyes.<br/><br/>The Archon acts as more of a tactician, though this mysterious being is an exceptionally skilled soldier, guiding individual cells of the Inquisition to their missions. The Inquisition has small groups of soldiers stationed in specific areas or hot spots. When needed the cell in that area is notified and they set out to complete the mission, or get massacred trying.<br/><br/><ul class="bbc_list"><li type="disc">The Archon- The leader of the Inquisition, the strongest and most ruthless of the whole group. Also a great tactician, though rarely actually seen in any sort of skirmish</li><li type="disc">Paladin- There are few Paladins, the reason for this is because the training the Paladin has to go through is grueling and almost deadly. These know everything there is to know about their targets, practiced in magical arts as well as knowledge of the occult</li><li type="disc">Crusaders- General knowledge of Magic use, mostly used as proficient interrogators and warriors.</li><li type="disc">Hunters- Hunters track down and kill Non-Humans, it is their job to know everything there is to know about tracking and killing Non-Humans.</li><li type="disc">Recruits- Once again, the basic rank for the group. These have to be devote followers of the path.</li></ul><div align="center"><span class="bbc_size" style="font-size: 12pt;"><strong><span class="bbc_u">Non-Aligned</span></strong></span></div><br/>Obviously there are always non-aligned groups and individuals, you don't have to be a member of one of these groups.
