Hierarchy
Queen Metaria is the Great Ruler of the Dark Kingdom and her subordinate is Queen Beryl. Underneath them would have been Saturn Knight and Venus Knight, and then the other subordinates. Longevity in the Dark Kingdom is important to their hierarchy.
Recruiting
See the
Sol Knights article for their initiation expectations.
All other followers of the Dark Kingdom would have joined through someone who is already a member, and would have met with Queen Beryl to swear their loyalty to her. Queen Beryl would then petrify their Star Seed and turn it to stone, where they would then obtain power and a mineral codename.
Naming Conventions
Followers of the Dark Kingdom will be given a codename which are based on minerals (e.g. Beryl, Zoisite) that their petrified Star Seed changes to. Sol Knights will also have a mineral codename instead of their actual planetary identity.
Immortality
Before joining the Dark Kingdom, depending on the follower’s activities they may have already obtained immortality from the Silver Crystal. It would have been through joining the Dark Kingdom and their Star Seed petrifying that they would lose it. Followers want their immortality back at any cost even if it means stealing the Silver Crystal.
Queen Beryl has taught her followers that everyone deserves immortality regardless of their purity, and that under her reign everyone will have it. What her followers don’t know is that Queen Beryl never, ever had immortality even prior to obtaining her memories.
Queen Metaria
Queen Metaria was revived on July 22nd, 2030, when her energies escaped the Galaxy Cauldron and she returned to Earth. Her arrival on Earth had caused a blackout that led to violence in mass as no light was able to shined through her dark cloud. When she finally settled on a vessel, she had chosen Lilith Rey, the Mayor of the Crystal Empire territories.
No one would have joined the Dark Kingdom through Queen Metaria unless it occurs in character, as until July 22nd, 2030, Queen Metaria was nonexistent.
Queen Metaria has reclaimed her title as the Great Ruler of the Dark Kingdom and demands utmost respect, but her respect for Queen Beryl has waned due to inaction.
