The Rogue Shadows Association

## **The Rogue Shadow Association (R.S.A)**

**The Rogue Shadows or RSA** is a non-governmental and private academic organization responsible for training individuals in the arts of Nexus to guide lost souls to the afterlife, and combat lost souls that get devoured by **(insert forbidden power name)** and turned into Abyssal's**.** Additionally, the association provides education for all ages, career planning, and job hiring. The RSA is an association that was constructed together by multiple different organizations formed around the world that decided upon forming a partnership between the institutions. Major Players in forming the RSA are the Dainoga hailing from Joushin, the Malevolence in Amestria and the Brotherhood from Genova because these three groups formed the original version of the organization. Other key players that would join later would be the Divinity in Vallkellia, the Order of the Blade in Kingstone and the Umandwe in Essonia.

## **Mission Statement**

The Rogue Shadows Association is committed to guiding lost souls to the afterlife and preventing Abyssal's from causing chaos, but most importantly we are committed to expanding and enhancing the lives of those who become apart of our organization. The individuals who join us will be provided every tool they need to succeed, along with vast amounts of knowledge and resources that is not available to the general public. As mentioned earlier we provide educational opportunities for all ages and our hiring program affords those who have obtained the necessary requirements jobs as well. Additionally, all immediate family members will have their medical, dental, and their physical well-being will be secured.

## **Code Of Ethics**

Believing strongly in the purpose of the Rogue Shadows Association and its pillars of pedagogy, scholarship, protection and safety of others, team members and individuals strive to uphold the following values

1. **Value of all Life –** The RSA finds value in every living creature that resides on this planet because we realize that every living being has a purpose and adds to the beauty of all life. We treat each living organism with respect, even our enemies and we carry out our work while carrying that value deep within our hearts.
2. **Honor For the Dead –** Our organizations believes that honoring the dead through burial, ceremony and respecting their final wishes is of the upmost importance. Furthermore, respecting the lost souls and spirits that we are sure to encounter on our missions is integral to what we want to represent. We find immense value and honor in guiding them to a proper death.
3. **Loyalty to our Family –** Our Organizations is a family in which each member loves, respects, honors, values and praises for the people they are and the good work that they do. It is our mission to never betray that loyalty and instead continue to build relationships through joy, comradery, trial and hardship.
4. **Appreciation For Knowledge –** Thousands of years worth of knowledge has been gathered within our databases due to the valor of those who came before. To uphold what they stood for, we don't just look too the past to appreciate the knowledge that been gathered, but instead we strive forward to add more information for the next generation and those that will come after them.
5. **Love for yourself –** Revenants will face many challenges, Trials and Hardship during their journeys within their life time so it is important that we take enough time to appreciate and love ourselves. We understand that mistakes will be made, that failures is inevitable, but its critical for us to consider all of the good that we have done and the good we will do in our lifetime.
6. **Strive For Success –** Each individual must be driven to achieve the absolute best that each of them will have to offer during their lifetime. No matter what field in or the path/road it is essential that they always push themselves to achieve greater heights.

## **Becoming a Revenant**

To become a Revenant an individual must obtain a degree from one of the many schools that we have to offer and they must take the Evaluation Exam, but most refer to the exam as the Trials by Fire due to the rigorous nature of the exam and the many obstacles an individual will face. Before, obtaining a degree an individual must join the organization after completing the the Standard Awareness Test or SAT which checks for a persons ability to see and sense (Insert name). Furthermore, the SAT also looks for ability to produce (blank energy) through a few different methods. Once a person has completed and passed the SAT if that individual is of the age of 18 or older they will be given a contract to sign, otherwise their parent/legal guardian will receive the information to sign instead. After filling out all the necessary information, going through background checks, screenings and etc. the individual will be admitted to one of our many prestige's schools and will be ready to begin their journey to becoming a Revenant.

### **Revenants Degree**

*Main article: Revenants Degree*

A Revenants Degree is an undergraduate academic degree awarded by colleges and universities upon the completion of a course of study that lasted three to six years (dependent on the institution and academic discipline). This allows a person the ability to teach classes, coach teams, work in the office and other lower ranked managerial, to mid level educational opportunities, but most importantly a person will then be eligible to participate in the Evaluation Exam to become full time Revenants.

### **Revenants License**

*Main Article:* Revenants License

A Revenants License is a type of card given exclusively to Revenants after they pass the Evaluation Exam which proves that the status of the owner has multiple benefits. It provides a Revenant with free access to most public services and permissions to travel the world without the use of a visa. It allows Revenants a license to kill without repercussions or consequences with only a few exceptions. A Revenants License allows those access to heavily guarded information and top secret information as well as providing an easy way to look for jobs. Revenants are the usually the most skilled within their area of study/expertise so having a license will usually secure a person opportunities that they may have not had otherwise. It also gives the individual a place of higher authority over most government officials, although there are exceptions dependent on contractual circumstances. Moreover, a license is so highly valued by collectors who would be willing to buy it for a fortune that could sustain a Revenants family for generations. However, we recommend that you do not lose, sell or give your license away because replacing a license is incredibly difficult and may not even be an option dependent on the circumstances.

### **Provisional**

Provisional Revenants are known as temporary or contractual associate members who are provided a provisional license, but these licenses only last for three months. This option was created mainly for students who haven't completed the requirements to become a Revenant because their either too young with much schooling ahead of them or they are dealing with circumstances that are preventing them from fulfilling the requirements and they would like to gain some experience in the field before becoming a full time Revenant. This also extends to independent contractors or freelances that are not interested in going through the educational process to obtain a license for whatever reason, but they will be limited in how much information they can receive from our libraries, places they can access through our organization and other minor to large restrictions which can all be found on the licensing page.
