La Orden Hospitalaria de los Caballeros del Pacto de los Sitios Sagrados de Malta y la Sacro Santa Verna



"Familia, Santidad, Cortesía, Fraternidad, Fidelidad, Pureza, y Malta"

Membership Process

Members of La Orden are accepted after three vetting processes: The initial application, the visitation, and the confirmation. A prospective member of La Orden will apply with a standardized application, declaring their name and personal history, and declaring the various oaths. Following this, some members of the upper three geometries will perform a visitation to get to know the prospective member on a personal basis, because La Orden functions as a family in and of itself. Finally is the confirmation, where a new member is taken through a pilgrimage to Santa Verna to tend to and pray at the graves.

Following this, the new member will be knighted by a member of the Triangle, and considered a Caballero of La Orden Hospitalaria de los Caballeros del Pacto de los Sitios Sagrados de Malta y la Sacro Santa Verna.

To begin your application, copy the template below, and fill in the curly brackets ( {} ) with your information.

[quote]I, {Your Name Here},

Vow upon my honor and the Spirits' judgement to uphold the familial bonds on which Malta was built, recognizing that before there was family, there was nothing, and after there is family, there will again be nothing. My duty is to my family, to the family of La Orden Hospitalaria de los Caballeros del Pacto de los Sitios Sagrados de Malta y la Sacro Santa Verna, and to the great family of Malta, until the day I pass from this life and ascend to the spirits to be judged.

I vow upon my honor and the Spirits' judgement to keep holy and sacred everything which is blessed, recognizing that the holy places are the home of the spirits, the home of my family before me, and my home in due time. To keep the holy sites is to keep oneself holy and worthy of the spirithood that awaits us, and my duty to my family is extended by my custodianship of the Spirits.

I vow upon my honor and the Spirits' judgement to maintain my courtesy and the courtesy of my comrades, recognizing that Malta's closeness to godhood demands we act as such. Each man and woman of Malta is a keeper of all people, and as a good farmer cares for nature, so shall we, never to slaughter mindlessly or torture in war, but to identify and quickly dispatch every enemy of Malta, of the Spirits, and of our fellow Caballeros. Never to scoff or cheat in peace, but to keep all people in their rightful place, and to maintain the order of society on which Malta survives and thrives.

I vow upon my honor and the Spirits' judgement to keep as a second family Los Caballeros, extending to each member of La Orden the same as I would to a blood brother or sister, knowing in my heart and mind that the same will be extended to me. May we ever keep this family of Caballeros sacred and strong in service to the Spirits until the day we walk among them.

I vow upon my honor and the Spirits' judgement to keep as if it were law my word and honor, holding every promise I make as absolute authority, and never extending frivolous or unfaithful promises or honors to any, recognizing that faith is but trust, and without trust my faith will fail. Trust is the foundation on which Malta's society is built, trust is the measure by which the Sprits induct you among their ranks, and I aspire to ascend as a Spirit that can in turn be trusted.

I vow upon my honor and the Spirits' judgement to guard the purity of my thoughts, my words, and my actions, taking part in no vile poison that degrades society and the self and is a threat to Malta in ways overt or covert. The honor of one without grace in their actions will fall flat when the Spirits judge you, therefore I will keep and defend my own purity and the purity of Malta, which are the keys to the afterlife.

I vow upon my honor and the Spirits' judgement to defend Malta in all ways, in all cases, by all means. Malta and her people are the pinnacle of humanity, and the bridge from man to the Spirits'. Malta cannot, will not, can never, and will never fall, so long as I draw breath, I will defend Malta.

With these vows, I, {Your Name Here}, pledge myself to the family of La Orden Hospitalaria de los Caballeros del Pacto de los Sitios Sagrados de Malta y la Sacro Santa Verna. As a member of the family, I pledge my personal wealth to the family's coffers, knowing well that all that is required will be given, and all that is given will in due time be required, by the people of Malta, by Los Caballeros, by the Spirits of our ancestors and the gods they walk among.

With these vows, I, {Your Name Here}, pledge to keep any secret of La Orden entrusted to me, knowing that these secrets are kept not for superiority, not for malfeasance, but for the safety of Malta and her people, for the fear of what is not understood has always lead to tragedies unrepairable.

This, by the Spirits, I vow.[/quote][/indent]

Identity

Bautista Pliego
Born on the planet Malta in 808 A.S.
Single
He began working for the Orange Dream at the age of 14 as a cardamine smuggler alongside his father on board of an old "Dromedary". After Bautista's father's death from a hand of a Bounty Hunter, Pliego decided to take revenge with his own hands, exterminating the enemies of the Maltese with a zeal close to fanatical. Which eventually led him to join the Hyperspace Fleet (830-834 A.S.), who not only taught him how to kill even better, but also not to lose his head in the heat of battle. Pliego left the Fleet in 835 A.S. with more than 50 confirmed kills, and having not found a place for himself in peaceful life throughout that year, he is now again in space, looking for a higher goal.
