Reputation with "Resistance" increased to Member!

Oh, another feature? Well, allow your narrator to explain. There are ranks in your reputation now. You can rank up to unlock things and increase your influence. The ranks below Member and the next rank is here.

Rank 0: Stranger. This is the usually the default rank for all factions.

Rank 1: Visitor. The faction knows about your presence, and allows you to do the basic of things available. Your influence is near to non existant.

Rank 2: Ally. You have made yourself worthy of the faction. You will gain access to the Hit List, a bulletin board where you can find jobs to do. You can now do tasks for the said faction. You will be able to train with the basic members.

Rank 3: Member. You can now own Apprentices from the faction, who will fight alongside you.

Rank 4: Representative. You may now partake in harder, special quests meant to spread the name of a faction. Quests that are deemed "special" would be infiltrating a rival faction as a member, and then selling them out to the law or stealing grand treasures. Obviously, there are more kinds. Great rewards await from these quests.

There is still 4 more ranks after Representative, so don't think Rank 4 is the end. Also... You can rank down. By ranking down, you are making enemies with an entire group. That may cause problems. There are 5 stages where you can rank down. Law based factions automatically consider you as an opposition, -3 Rank.

-1 Rank: Monitored. This faction is watching you... This is a warning rank.

-2 Rank: Unwelcomed. You cannot use any services from this faction. All you could do to ascend from this rank is to give money, items or hunt down enemies for them.

-3 Rank: Opposition. This faction now treats you as an enemy. Members (Apart from players) will attack you on sight.

-4 Rank: Despised. This faction really hates your guts. Stronger enemies will go after you.

-5 Rank: Absolute Target: The faction's only goal is to eliminate you. You'll have to do something really, really bad to become an Absolute Target. Other factions will lower your rank out of distrust when you reach this.

Try not to rank down as much as possible, alright?

Arsen: Well, glad to have you on board! Well, let's not- *Hic* -keep the boss waiting now, shall we. *Points at a building* The hideout's there, Maya should open the door for us.

Huh, a bakery? That's nice, I guess. Doesn't really seem like a true hideout, like an underground city or in an uncharted island... This is way different from those books.

Arsen and Neo approach the door, and knock. A girl wearing simple clothing and an apron opens it from the other side.

Arsen: Hey Maya, the bike's parked in the back-

Maya: You took it without my permission, then?

Arsen: I was going to return it anyway, psk... Oh, and, *Pats Neo in the back* I have us a new member! This isn't some thug in the streets either. She's the one who stole The Diamond of White Manor just recently!

Maya: ...Boss does need more allies. *To Neo* Head up to the bedroom just up the stairs. You'd meet others by tommorow morning, so get to sleep. *Yawn* I have to work on another batch of bread.

Arsen: Well, I'm having a hangover so I'm going to hit the hay- *Kicked in the knee* Ow, what was that for!?

Maya: You are going to spend all night reparing any damage done to my motorcycle. Besides, I don't trust you when you're in bed with a lady.

Arsen stomps away, and Maya apologizes for her younger brother's... Antics. She escorts her to the bedroom and bids goodbye.

Neo would see the two of them again tommorow, with more people...

End Of Tutorial/Prologue

Reward for Neo: The Diamond of White Manor (Treasure). The diamond of white. You feel motivation to gain power just from possessing it. Gained EXP can sometimes be increased by 25% at a 1/4 chance.

Chapter 1

It was in the morning when Neo woke up and went downstairs in the bakery. She saw Maya with a glasses wearing boy in a polo... Wait, is that Arsen? He is a criminal, meaning he had to change his appearance but that doesn't look anything like Arsen from last night.

Arsen: I look like a total dweeb, don't I? *Giggles* Was the point. Just call me Jared when people are around since I'm sort of... Wanted.

Maya: He was always a cosplayer as a kid... Just wait a while, our allies would come around soon.

//Alright, time for everyone to introduce their characters. Just have them enter the bakery "hideout" and some dialogue. Everyone could talk and interact with each other, but don't do a thing where in you fill up the thread by 100 replies or something.

//Maya Canerin's abilities would be shown once she actually fights, if you're wondering about that. //Is my character in or not?
