Any avatar can be a member of multiple factions. Avatars always start at the lowest level in a faction and should roleplay how they joined the faction to the other players.
If they wear the faction badge openly, they receive 1 corresponding skill point of temporary training for the character for each rank they have in the faction. The temporary points are only active while the badge is openly worn. If a character has multiple avatars each can receive points from the same faction. If the avatar dies these points, go away. Badges do not require attunement.
Other benefits for members are noted in the faction information.
The cost of membership is one gold per rank per month. Failure to pay temporary disables skill points from the faction until the bill is paid. It is suggested to find an NPC to roleplay the paying of the bill. Any arrears and up to 3 future months can be paid at any one time.
Note: faction points are applied to temporary skill points which are capped at 5 plus tier level.
Advancing in rank in a faction can happen while in a session or between sessions. The player is to roleplay telling the story of how they advanced to the other players in the session. Only one rank in each faction can be advanced in a session.
To utilize faction extradimensional storage, an avatar must be present within the faction’s territory and hold membership in that faction. Membership costs to use faction storage is a minimum of 1 gold per week. This means you can be a faction member but not have access to faction storage. It is possible for a character to belong to multiple factions. The entrance of the faction storage is spacious enough to accommodate a wagon. Time within extradimensional faction storage elapses concurrently with the outside world. In faction storage, neither the weight of items nor their quantity is considered; only the space required to fit items matters. Faction storage can only be accessed from one location at a time. It is not intended for teleporting avatars and should be used accordingly. An attendant is stationed within faction storage and handles the opening of storage at the designated location on behalf of the member. The faction badge allows telepathic communications to the attendant if they are not already busy. If the attendant is attacked, dies, or leaves the faction storage, it closes and can only be reopened by faction top management.
Important: A corresponding trained skill level is also needed in a skill like the faction.
