Rank Progression: The Jedi Trials

The life of a Jedi is one of continuous learning, development, and growth. Jedi are expected to invest time into their training to hone their craft and, with humility, ascend the Order's ranks and seal their note in history. After fulfilling the below requirements, otherwise known as the "Jedi Trials," a Jedi may apply to the Council for rank elevation. The application form (link here) will be reviewed by the Staff Faction Leader (@Duke) and your character will be given an audience with the Jedi High Council (an RP ceremony with Council Player Characters/Non-Playable Characters). The audience is for the Council to ask further questions of you and/or confer your new rank.

NOTE: Quality is valued over quantity! This is a guide meant to help writers know the quality (rather than quantity) of character development that is expected for rank progression.
