The Grey Karek
The Grey Karek
The grey Karek are a deviant branch of the pragmatic order of magic, the Karek.
Will of Steel, Wrath of night, for the honor of Karek, we fight the good fight!
Path and Beliefs
They believe that the Karek, over time, have devolved into a group of power-hungry and decadent miscreants and that all discipline and control have left the order, so they defected and started a new order, called the Grey Karek, more commonly the Greys.
They believe in discipline and control, and a strict adherence to the path of dedication.
They have a similarly pragmatic approach to cybernetic, perhaps even more so than the original Karek, however, they have not used it for showmanship, but strictly for magical purposes.
They can often be seen with cybernetics on their skin, but not the types that were made to be pretty.
Adhering to the path of dedication, there are still those among them that wish to be freer to choose paths, this upsets the leading core of the organization, but they have managed to keep most of their number in line.
Goals
It is their current primary goal to discredit and disband the original Karek, as well as banish evil from the galaxy entirely. They do so by aiding local law enforcement wherever they can, and they are often recruited by local government to solve particularly difficult problems, usually relating to criminal organizations or rogue magic users.
They disdain the idea of becoming a political entity, but the more realistic among them have realized that it may be their only option if they wish to succeed in their goals.
Structure
They follow the same structure as the original Karek, from which they originate.
Politics
They hold a large amount of clout in certain regions, especially in the Terran Alliance, especially with the local governments and the people themselves.
By many, they are seen as the gritty survivors of Karek decadence, and those that will at last bring peace and justice to the galaxy.
Culture
The Grays are known for their use of Hard Light Blades, something they adopted from their parent organization, but they are also known for the markings they put on their bodies, especially their faces. These tattoos are meant to differentiate them from other orders. Not all of them show their tattoos out in the open though, the more stealthy of them choose to hide them under clothing.
Factions
The Grey Karek are a fairly new order, and there are no major rival branches, however, they are divided in function. There are two branches of the order, each doing its part to further the goals of the Greys.
The Shadows: these are the hidden members of the order, they carry out secret tasks and secret killings. But not just that, they also infiltrate and gather information, picking the right moment to strike.
The Knights: These are the open warriors, they are shown to the world as heroic soldiers for good, they deal with problems head on, even if using information gathered by the Shadows.
Faction Relations
The Grey Karek have complicated relations with different factions, most notably with the Karek, the one from which they separated.
Karek: They have hostile relations with the Karek, they see them as vile and decadent, they think they have forsaken their true purpose, and it is the Gray's job to rectify it.
The Lumin: they have a strong positive relationship with the Lumins, they are both pure dedication, the only ting holding this alliance back, is the fact that the Lumins also keep relations with the Karek.
The Rayth: The Greys view the Rayth as an evil organization that seeks to conquer the galaxy, which is why they have no relations, and that which they do have are hostile.
The Shulin: The Shulin are a small organization of the borders of Grey influence. They keep formal relations which are decent, but the Greys don't pay them much mind.
