=== This is a 'recruitment' thread for those interested in participating in the Banite faction ===
Aside from the IC recruiting, I have now decided to make an OOC topic, here on the forums, with the same intentions.
Not all of you may be aware that there is an active Banite Faction on Amia, and hopefully this will highlight the RP and following of Bane that comes with it, to those of you who are interested or would find it fun in taking part of the malicious events and intentions we seek to run.
For initial information on Bane, please visit these links;

In the Amian Banite faction (Church of Bane) we have decided to only allow characters with LE or NE alignments. LN could -possibly-, in rare cases, be considered as well.
Our ambition in-game is to put focus on the enjoyment of playing an evil villain. Even though we put up goals, our main ambition is to enjoy the ride... so to speak. Where we, act out the role of the main religious evil faction, to present a base of conflict for in depth and developing RP-conflicts between Banites and other factions as well as characters.
Activities we do our best to indulge ourself in;
- Malicious scheming, for long-term plots.
- Spreading the faith and converting new followers (both PCs and NPCs)
- Imposing fear by executing malicious acts on the island.
- Attempt to infiltrate positions of power on the island, to better spread the dogma of Bane.
- And all other evil things evil characters are expected to do (wear black and look frightening in Cordor square)
- - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -
At the moment, we seek all types of characters and 'builds'. Though we would suggest looking into any of the following foremost:
"The Clergy (clerics)
The clergy acts to spread the portfolio of Bane by converting those who are willing, and terrorizing those who are not. Senior clerics are constantly scheming as to how best to further Fear, Strife and Tyranny in order to increase Bane's dominion in the realms. Religious rites, ceremonies, sacrifices, and ensuring religious compliance are all normal activities."
"The Order of the Iron Gauntlet (monks)
The Iron Gauntlet does two things: Guard the temple, and whatever dirty work the clergy needs done. Spying, reconnaisance and assassinations are normal activites. Monks are trained to use stealth and guile rather than direct force whenever possible."
"The Order of the Malevolent Fist (blackguards and other melee types)
The Malevolent Fist is a knighthood which answers to the clergy. They serve as the temple infantry when needed, and also assist the High Inquisitor or High Imperceptor in dealing with heresy within the ranks. They are unholy warriors, religiously fanatic in the extreme."
"The Divine Arcanum (sorcerors, bards, wizards)
The Divine Arcanum utilizes arcane magic to extend the will of the clergy. It is specifically geared towards fighting external enemies, subduing them either through force or fear."

We welcome both existing characters and completely new ones into the faction, and we'll gladly set up RP for a converting, if that is nessecary.
Level doesn't matter, nor does your choice of build.
We do however require all faction members to be fully motivated, enthustiastic and active while in the faction.
All forms of metagaming are frown upon. Intentional or unintentional, and I must therefore advise players who have characters in confrontial factions (Defenders, Harpers etc) to think twice before making any Banite character.
If you have any questions, at all, or wish to become an active part in the Church of Bane, then please feel free to post in this topic or send a PM to Polan here on the forum, and there will be something worked out
Thanks!
