-DB- Advancing the Ranks
In all advancement of ranks, one must be more knowledgeable about the Dark Side of the Force than in the previous rank. One must also be stronger in the Dark Side of the Force and in using a lightsaber. As well, one must learn to use their own passion to empower themselves and force the Force to do their bidding. Lastly, you must harass all that you have learned and put it to the test(s). Those are the four criteria that a Sith must meet in order to advance to the next rank.
1) Be more knowledgeable about the Dark Side of the Force
2) Be stronger in the Force and using a lightsaber
3) Learn to use your own passion to empower yourself and force the Force to do your bidding
4) Pass any test, trials, or such that the Sith Council or respective authority set before you
In order to advance in any ranks from Sith Youngling to Sith Emperor, you must spend at least two week in each rank. There are no other ways around this rule and only the Sith Emperor can make an exception if the need for it rises. After the two week, you must make the request before the Sith Council that you wish to advance to the next rank (This only applies to any rank above Sith Knight).
In addition, if you are to advance to a certain rank, there may be additional rules. Please refer to the "Rank" thread.
