Below are the achievable ranks in this RPG. Basically, you progress one rank after each adventure, which is one every few months probably. What level you begin at is kind of up to you, but you can't be anything higher than an apprentice and you can't begin an apprentice if there are no Knight's or Masters to train you, although you can progress to that rank without having a master, as the gamesmaster will create a non-player character to be your master.
At this stage, you can only barely use some of the powers that you chose in the character creation. You have recieved no or very little training and do not even have a lightsaber yet. For example, you can only do force pull on small objects and for a very short distance. A lot of powerful powers will be completely inaccessable at this point.
You have had some training and are progressing to be able to use more of your powers. You are learning and eager to progress to the next stage, having a full Jedi to train you in the ways of the force.
You now have a greater Jedi to watch over you, and you are learning greatly at this point. You are beginning to be in touch with the force and this is the time you will be tempted by the Dark Side and the Sith. Your master must ensure that you do not give in, but ultimately, the choice is yours.
The master you had now leaves for another apprentice, and at this point you may well have an apprentice yourself or be completely alone. You are now accepted by the council as a few Jedi and will be sent by them on missions personally, instead of being a simple apprentice who must follow their masters. For all Jedi, this is their true birth. It is also the birth of responsibility.
You can capture yet more powers now and progress up to a whole new level in the Jedi heirachy. You are closer to becoming a master and will be given more trust by the council, which means more tasks.
A Jedi Master will almost certainly have an apprentice, and will be given much more respect by every one, and every Jedi. Only the best reach this stage. Some are now given permenant positions by the council, such as on Coruscant, or as an ambassador.
The next step of a Jedi Master. The Jedi Master is now at their true stage of being in touch with the force and only the strongest can survive this much power. A Jedi Lord can perform things that younger Jedi may look upon as even miracles.
The Jedi has become so powerful that the Jedi Council themselves wants them to be a part of the council; the greatest Jedi in the universe. A Jedi can dream of nothing more; a seat on the council is a great responsibility and a great, great power. If they accept this honour, it will bring a great amount of influence and respect to them.
At this stage, you can only barely use some of the powers that you chose in the character creation. You have recieved no or very little training and do not even have a lightsaber yet. For example, you can only do force pull on small objects and for a very short distance. A lot of powerful powers will be completely inaccessable at this point.
You have had some training and are progressing to be able to use more of your powers. Your powers are gaining, and this is the time when your Dark Side is at it's birth, and you shall soon be shown the way by an experienced Sith.
Your Sith Lord will now attempt to uncover your true Dark nature and have you accepted into the ways of the Dark Side. Many potentials give up at this point, as the sheer power of the Dark Side overwhelms them.
Now you leave your master and take on the powers of the Dark Side yourself. You are now a full warrior of the Dark Side which gives you a certain amount of respect from the Emperor and from other Sith, not to mention those who cannot use the force.
You can capture yet more powers now and progress up to a whole new level in the Sith heirachy. You are closer to becoming a master and will be given more trust by the Emperor and the lesser Sith, which means more tasks.
The master is a true figure of Dark Side power. He will almost certainly have a younger Sith as his apprentice and will be given respect even by the Emperor himself. Only the greatest and most in touch with the Dark Side reach this point.
A Sith Lord is now truely powerful in the universe, feared by all Jedi and everyone not in touch with the force; and even younger Sith respect and admire them, and the respect of a Sith is always hard to win.
The Sith is awarded the title of Baron by the Emperor; they are so powerful that the Emperor himself needs them by his side. They are the Emperor's right hand men; the ones who whisper in his ear, the ones who take care of everything for him. If a Sith reaches this rank, they may even become Emperor themselves one day.
