### Enemies

Feel free to re-arrange the sections as you see fit. Or if you recommend a different arrangement for general use on any templates, feel free.

## Description

Start by filling out a general description of the faction here, giving a feel for what they're about and being generally vague about your introductory information about them, and whatever mottos, advertising of the place, etc. you wanna do prior to getting into specifics in the later sections.

### Appearances

Details, if any, of general appearance of those who would be a part of this faction. Could be uniforms, racial preference, etc.

### Rules

This could be changed to be teachings, dogma, tenets, or whatever. Point is, it is meant to be a listing of the rules members must follow even if players, to be considered an upstanding member of the faction. Obviously, lack of this section, or sparseness of detail, doesn't mean further information doesn't exist In World, it just means it wasn't as visibly defined for you on an Out of Character level. Feel free to make each rule a subheading, or make a bulleted list, or otherwise.

### Membership Benefits

Optional section of course, but if you want, you can give a breakdown of benefits of joining the faction, if any. This also could be RP only, or it could be mechanical for PC benefit. Dunno. If it is for PC benefit though, ideally what you actually can provide, and not just having a GM give out indefinite rewards as a psuedo-universal without app via npc factions.

## History

You start off with how your faction got founded, on what continent, and whatever else is relevant, and work your way up from there as time passes. Add subheadings as needed for notable chunks of history.

## Organization

here, you'd mention a summary of the current status of the faction, maybe about its leader, and some general function handling of major subordinates. Maybe how their growth has been of late, or what they focus upon. Also, just generally how the faction is comprised, well, organizationally speaking.

### Leaders

Here is where you would list all of your leaders, and what position they have. It is ok to mention their name more than once, if they are Dual Roleing, but just put N/A or Empty if they do not have a leader in that position. List whatever information you wish for them, be it title or otherwise for trivia.

### Notable Members

Go into further detail, and copy/paste as needed, to describe named members of notable relation to the faction.

### Notable Possessions

In case you wish to reveal the presence of significant possessions belonging to a faction. This could be a teaser GM Fiat item for the GM's NPC Faction, or PC members revealing their artifacts via rumors or w/e, or otherwise.

## Operations

Details, each with their own subheading, as to the types of work the faction deals in, in a general sense, with details provided in the appropriate subheading. E.g. 'Manufacture and Production', 'Research and Development', 'Contracts and Consultation', 'Security', etc.

## Subsidiaries

This would then be listing any further sub-factions, subordinate companies, or otherwise wording, for further specialization of groups within the overall faction. Like how a church could have a dozen different 'interpretations' of the same overall will, or you have 1 group specialize in construction while another specializes in mining, or someone else works in transportation. Breaking them down into specialized subsections can allow for easier distinguishing of roles and greater efficiency, so long as the sub-factions do not 'fight' too much. That is your problem to deal with, however.

## Location(s)

brief description of the setup of your locations, the spread, or whatever seems relevant in summary prior to listing out individual locations of note.

#### Main Base of Operations

A short description/summary of your main base of operations, to try and distinguish it from the rest if any, or other peoples bases. Be sure to add at least a picture, to give a visual representation. Copy/paste the format of this location, for any further locations you list. Or simply leave a list of your other locations if you have a lot, without proper descriptions for them yet.

## Public Services

This would be a listing of services that the faction offers to the, well, public. Could be education, healthcare, defense protection, cheaper labor, etc. This is more a RP thing, than actual mechanics, but you could also list actual mechanical services too, for 'adventurer amenities' I guess. Same deal as the membership benefits on limits there, I guess.

## Holidays

here is where one would put holidays, if the place had any.

## Relationships

General information about their relations with others.

### Allies

Description of notable information of those the faction is acquainted with, and has strong positive emotion about, and why.

### Enemies

Description of notable information of those the faction is acquainted with, and has strong negative emotion about, and why.

## Religion

Here, you'd go into more detail about how your faction feels about religion, including but not limited to specification of details of favored gods, symbols, animals, or otherwise. Not a church, but even a ranger's guild is allowed to have religious beliefs if they want. Subheadings as needed.

## Products

Here would be a breakdown of specific things offered by the faction, if any. Could be a way in which you offer a listing of actual shit your PCs offer as crafters for 'common items/prices', could be an RP catalog of products/services that aren't widely distributed to the public community, or otherwise.
E.g. Augmentations, Automations, Weapons, Armor, Shields, Magic Circles, Spellcasting, Spellscribing, Power Infusion, Etc.
