It First of all I must apologise for the delay in getting the second part of the symbolism series out but it took me longer to find the appropriate, and up to date, symbols than I had previously expected. Also, for those of you following the adventures of Orpos, Exalndria, Fam, Gedrick and INFOS, they have recently come into contact with The League of Hunters so I thought I'd include their symbol as well for a more in detail series of posts. And, so, in this post I have five different symbols for you as well as the name of the symbol, the owner and a brief history (from an excerpt from a book written by an expert on the separate factions - not that I'm not an expert but sometimes it's nice to hear other people's points of view). P.S. Thanks to Team 5 for letting me borrow their Badges of Office.
Symbol: the O.U.T.L.A.W.S. Emblem
Owner: the Organisation Uncovering Treasure Lawfully And With Secrecy (O.U.T.L.A.W.S.)
History/Meaning: the O.U.T.L.A.W.S. Emblem was created by the founder of O.U.T.L.A.W.S., Lee Royden, in the aftermath of The Great War along with the entirety of the O.U.T.L.A.W.S. It contains the Elemental's distinctive 10 pointed star, which shows which faction they belong to, as well as a question mark used to symbolise the secrecy of the organisation. In addition, it is detailed with both the acronym and the full title of the organisation. The Emblem is etched onto every piece of O.U.T.L.A.W.S. tech and information and is incorporated into the members Badge of Office. The Emblem has many variants for different purposes but this is the most commonly used one.

Symbol: Orpos Beastslayer's Badge of Office in The O.U.T.L.A.W.S. Level 8 - Leader of Team 5
Owner: Orpos Beastslayer
History/Meaning: the Badge of Office is awarded to each and every member of the O.U.T.L.A.W.S. be they a Technician, Field Agent, Leader, Messenger or Secretary etc. Each Badge contains the O.U.T.L.A.W.S. acronym as well as the name of the member. In addition, the Badge is detailed with the Elemental's ten pointed star as well as two numbers: one on the left detailing the member's Team and the one on the right detailing the member's level (with the higher the number, the higher level the member and the more they are allowed to know). The Team number is situated first, on the left, while the Level number is situated second, on the right, as it shows that the member's first allegiance is to their team before themselves. Furthermore, each member's Badge is detailed with the symbol of their job. The Leader's Badge of Office is only awarded to each Leader of each Team. The Leader's Badge doesn't have a symbol as such but, instead, has a circle over the Team number. The circle symbolises the person's control over their team.

Symbol: Exalndria Kye's Badge of Office in The O.U.T.L.A.W.S. Level 6 - Technician and Engineer
Owner: Exalndria Kye
History/Meaning: the Technician and Engineer's Badge of Office is detailed with a cog underneath the Elemental's ten pointed star. This symbolises the idea that the technology the Technicians and Engineers develop will help power the Elementals and O.U.T.L.A.W.S. from within.

Symbol: Faliyodrim Peacelyre's Badge of Office in The O.U.T.L.A.W.S. Level 6 - Field Agent
Owner: Faliyodrim Peacelyre
History/Meaning: the Field Agent's Badge of Office is detailed with two swords at the top of the Elemental's ten pointed star. This symbolises the idea that the Field Agents of the O.U.T.L.A.W.S. help defend and further the Elemental's/O.U.T.L.A.W.S.' causes from the front lines.

Symbol: The Arrow of The Hunt
Owner: The League of Hunters
History/Meaning: the Arrow of The Hunt was created by the original leader of the League of Hunters, Krant Tride, during the Time of New Conquest along with The League of Hunters. It is in the shape of an arrow due to the continuous hunt of the League pushing them in new directions and is pointed left to show the opposition that they must face. It is detailed with the word 'Hunters' in italics to show the motion of the League. In addition, near the point of the arrow is a key which was added due to a strange fascination of Krant's. It is unknown as to what the key represents or whether an actual key exists or not. The Arrow of The Hunt, or variants of it, is emblazoned, proudly, on all League owned items and uniforms.
