Include the name, history, structure and hierarchy etc, and unique weaponry and tech and you'll be fine.
I'll get back to work on the OP. After describing Edessa, Actim and Réunion i'll get onto factions, tech and weapons. ^^ Sorry i'm so slow.

Bio
New roleplay: https://www.roleplayerguild.com/topics/189457-the-eye-of-the-needle-where-fantasy-and-sci-fi-collide/ooc
Hey, I'm Catharyn! I joined the Roleplayer Guild on 2nd Feb 2011, then rejoined on the 17th Jan 2014 after Guildfall.
I was active every day until late 2015, accruing (i think) around 7k posts across dozens of roleplays. Then, I started working and had to gradually slow down my RP schedule. In 2017, I officially went on hiatus when other commitments got fully in the way of roleplaying.
This continued until the COVID-19 pandemic hit, when I suddenly realised I had a lot more free time in lockdown! So in mid-2020, I returned to the Guild with a vengeance. I also managed to get The Cradle 1x1 off the ground - a story i've had percolating for almost a decade.
My posting schedule has slowed down a bit now that the world has opened up again. I still love science fiction, fantasy and espionage themes, and generally aim for around 300 words per post.

I'll get back to work on the OP. After describing Edessa, Actim and Réunion i'll get onto factions, tech and weapons. ^^ Sorry i'm so slow.There could also be the possibility of when multiple Knights are present at a battle, they can link their shielding together to form a bigger force field and start protecting other soldiers or establishing a perimeter. Whole is greater than the sum of its parts etc. Just an idea. It'd be mighty good if you want to write up the official Faction sheet for the Knights Templar/ Red Cross if you have all the ideas straight with the group. :)

It would make it more skill based rather than just 'our organization is incredibly wealthy and i've just bought a shield that protects me.' Of course the battery will run out as the kinetic shield works overtime to stop high velocity rounds etc. Interesting...

Mayhaps the field is projected from their forearm so it can be brought up quickly and taken away quickly
Interesting, explain a bit more?
Xanndros, what kind of character ideas are you toying with?
It's starting from roughly the same time as the first iteration Siphy, sorry it's not made that clear. The OP is a dream had by one of my characters at the start of the roleplay. Good to pique peoples interest. May or may not happen.
Sauron do you imagine they might use an expensive sort of kinetic barrier, like the kind used to shield spacecraft, as their defense? So projectiles would be absorbed by the field which is powered by a battery pack somewhere on their person. Makes more sense than a conventional shield which could only be so strong and unwieldy in a modern combat situation. It also means they have a hand free to use their gun. . What do you guys think? I don't know about you but i'd be more afraid of a big armored man walking through a battle and not going down, even with focused fire, than someone behind a shield.
NoSoul! Good to see you again :) I'm glad veterans have arrived because this is a big project and i could do with your insight. BESC (Babylon Executive Security Command) has replaced CSEC as the governing military body. What powers do you think they should have as opposed to centralized government? Are we having them as a kind of UNSC type dictatorship or an untrustworthy arm of the government or what? We didn't get their motives etc clear last time and it really bugged me.

I suppose you're right. Swords are about as popular as they are today; used more for ceremony and as a wall mount for rich collectors. I'm not big on swords being used as a primary weapon in a world where everyone has a gun which can rip you limb from limb and there are Orbital defences which can put a round through an invading capital ship, just logic really. I can see their merit in close quarters though, and with an ancient organization such as the Knights Templar it is only right they have their own piece of history.

They'd be few in number but well equipped and well financed. At the original Knights Templar's high there were between 15,000 and 20,000 members; 10% of them being combatants and the rest being involved in politics, finance and logistics etc. That sounds about right, although they hired armies of people to fight with the 1500 or so heavily armored knights. There could be some parallels here between the Original and reborn Knights Templar? I found quite a good concept for what a new and improved Knight might look like, although probably with a gun rather than a sword.
What does everyone think? Yes, no? Too much?

Here. :)
Not a problem, work with me on them. Give me all your ideas here on the thread and we can brainstorm :)
I replied to your PM. I'm not sure what direction i want to take both those factions in, so i'd like your help :) Pretty much all the positions are open, as no one has expressed an interest in them.
