The Ring (Syndicate) - RPG
(Note: All of this info is taken from the Limbus Company wiki. Btw this is my first bot:D)
ike the other four Fingers, the Ring is a large Syndicate with a unique culture and creed that all members follow fervently. Its focus is on art. Members of the Ring are eccentric artisans enamored with art reflecting the human condition, which they pursue by causing and exhibiting human suffering. Their artwork takes a wide variety of forms, from sculptures made of corpses to massacres painted out of someone's mind.[2] The Syndicate manages art galleries featuring their works, and will at times auction them off.[3]
The Ring offers protection to residents of the Backstreets under its occupation, so long as the citizens are willing to create art to be evaluated by the Ring. These civilians periodically submit artwork to be graded at an exam site,[4] where Ring members refer personal judgements on a letter scale. One failing grade results in a warning, two results in the loss of the Ring's protection, and three results in an on-site execution.[5] Similarly, lower-ranking members of the Ring regularly complete 'assignments' issued by higher-ups within designated time periods to maintain membership.[6][7]
The Ring has also been known to use the Corridor technology, which allows them to create an exit from anywhere.[8] The created door will then lead into the Corridor, which takes the form of a physical hall connected to the Ring's bases, and can grow to contain hundreds of doors leading to hundreds of locations. While the Corridor technology is not exclusive to them, and even used with Mephistopheles' own backdoor,[9] the Ring allows random citizens the chance to access their Corridor as a prize for winning an auction for a Maestro's art piece.[10] The District 22 section of the Ring made use of their Corridor in order to access an N Corp. laboratory and conduct research on Identity technology.[11]
Members of the Ring dress primarily in white, seeing the way it stains as a sign of the artistic process.[12] They wear at least one ring, starting on their left hand,[13] with the number of coils around the ring denoting their rank.[14] Most Ring members also sport tattoo-like markings on their face, alongside other unique accessories like masks and piercings. There is considerable variation in the weapons members use.
Hierarchy
The Ring's hierarchy system features at least three major ranks, which do not appear to contain sub-ranks. The ranks are as follows:
Student: The common artist who both submits assignments to the Maestros for grading and grades the work of Ring-affiliated civilians.[6]
Docent: A mid-rank. Appears to be the rank in charge of hosting art galleries.[15]
Maestro: A high-ranking artist. Gives out assignments to the lower ranks and hosts Ring auctions. To earn the title of Maestro, one must have three art pieces that establish them as worthy of the rank.[16]
Overall, very little is known about the Ring's hierarchy and how it affects interaction between members.
Sub-sections
In addition to member ranks, the Ring also contains at least five sub-sections known as "schools". The schools are as follows:
Fauvists: Those who tend to make use of primary colors and complex lines. Known to wear animal masks and wear white clothes.[17]
Pointillists: Those who tend to make use of small strokes and dots to depict the flow of light. Known to wield paintbrush-like weapons. Known to wear Black[17]
Cubists: Those who seek to incorporate abstract three-dimensionality and depth.[17]
Corporists: Those who utilize the interaction between human bones and muscles, and the contraction and elongation thereof.[18]
Suprematists: Unknown (You can make your own theories on what they are, since they are characterized by their 'pure-bloodiness').[19]
Each school represents a unique approach to creating art. Members of different schools are not physically divided from one another, and assignments often require them to work together, leading to frequent squabbles over which method is best.[17]
