Anyone interested in joining can just post in this thread. This is all I have right now but I am busy with the rest as I type this. Well not as I type this because I'm busy typing this but you know what I mean.
Any force-sensitive is welcome and don't need to even leave your faction if you are in one. Perks of being a secret organisation.
Brotherhood of Equilibrium
History, Beliefs and Hierarchy
History
The Brotherhood of Equilibrium is a hidden sect of force-sensitive individuals that believe balance in the Force is cardinal in the survival of the galaxy. Known as Brothers or Sisters these force-sensitive individuals draw their power from both sides of the Force which enabled them to masquerade around the known universe as representatives of the Jedi and Sith respectively without the two factions knowing the better.
The Brotherhood have been in the galaxy prior to the fall of the Old Republic and had a unknown hand in the ascension of the Galactic Empire and its inevitable reformation into the Galactic Alliance we live in today. They have crossed paths with both the Jedi and the Sith throughout their history and as a result had to eliminate some of them due to taking over their missions so that it can be manipulated to enforce equilibrium.
They go through the galaxy manipulating the very future of the universe even though they only make subtle changes with pretending to be either Jedi or Sith to engage in alliance treaty and assassination missions that will work against any dominant super power in the galaxy. As a result of Jedi and Sith disappearing and reports on their missions mysteriously failing reached the ears of these organisations and both factions had their suspicion of a third party being involved but since they never shared information with each other the Brotherhood's involvement could never be proven and it was eventually assumed that their counterparts was the cause of a failed mission.
Beliefs
"There is no Good, there is no Evil. There are only Perceptions. There is no Light, there is no Dark. There are only Shades of Grey. Where there is Balance, there is the Force. This is the Way of the Brotherhood." Brotherhood Devotees reciting the Way of the Brotherhood chant.
The Brotherhood follows a religion called the Way of the Brotherhood which entails equilibrium as the solution to every problem known to the universe. Practitioners of this religion believes that right and wrong is perceived differently from conflicting members and that it requires a third party who can be unbiased to resolve matters. They believe balance in the Force will lead to prosperity in the galaxy and that there should never be just one dominant super power in the galaxy but instead two to keep each other in check and a third to keep them both in check from the shadows.
The members of the sect is not as compassionate as the Jedi and yet not as cruel as the Sith. Willing to kill those that needs to be killed; the Brotherhood is not beyond sparing those willing to conform to their ideals and keep the secret of their organisation away from prying eyes. To insure this these individual are placed under surveillance to be sure they adhere to their agreement with the Brotherhood.
Brothers and Sisters use both sides of the Force, Light and Dark, and as a result has an competitive edge over the Jedi and Sith kin with using the Force and in lightsaber combat.

Devotees are considered as the children of the Brotherhood and thus are protected by their seniors. They will almost never be found without the supervision of another member as they represent the future of the Brotherhood and are considered priceless to their kin.
Squire
Squires are the second rank within the Brotherhood. Devotees usually achieve the rank of Squire at the age of sixteen when they are taken under the tutelage of a Priest. Upon attaining the rank of Squire; members receive a traditional tribal tattoo on their left shoulder and upper-arm area.
Squires are considered the teenagers of the Brotherhood. Even though they are still protected by their peers and seniors; Squires are given more freedom and responsibility. They are required to not just accompany their mentors on missions but are also allowed to lead a group of Devotees on less important/dangerous missions themselves.

Upon attaining the rank of Priest; members extend their tattoos with males tattooing the left side of their upper-backs and left side of their chest while females only extends the tattoo to the left side of their upper-backs.
Priests are considered the young adults of the Brotherhood. Now in possession of their own student; Priests spend the majority of their time nurturing their charges and acting as the main resource of the Brotherhood. They receive a measure of freedom to do almost anything they want just as long as their actions do not negatively influence the galaxy or slander the name of the Brotherhood and are burdened with the heavy responsibility of being at the Council's beck and call.
Paladins

When sent into action, however, Paladins go only on the most important/dangerous missions that other ranks can't undertake.

When the need arises, however, a Paladin can be seen going on a mission with their former student or in the most dire situations with another Paladin.
