One NPC put up in the Organizations page.

I finally get a chance to check out the RP and there's SOOOO much I've missed... all the OOC and sign-ups... Dx


I feel so behind!

 

[Malphaestus]

They can but it may not be necessary. Regimen are appointed by a Dark Chapter Vatican Representative, whom is usually stationed in their area.
So.. its like...


Indocto & Milites = citizens


Regimen = local leader


Sacerdos (or Vatican Rep of Sacerdos and above ranks) = regional leader


etc etc

@CRiTiCAL ERR0R - You mentioned the organisational abilities for each rank, ie what sort of authority they have within the order. Can you go a bit further in depth as to what authority each rank has over others, and what sort of 3rd party authority the Vatican, etc, can hold on the organisation.


What I'm basically asking is: what is each position capable of doing to those lower than them.

Will reply once I get on my computer. That's a long answer xD

Don't worry. A lot of it was Tobi asking questions that I'm gonna throw up in the Q&A xD


Though I do have some charts a few posts back that will show the current ratio of Ranks and Fields of Expertise.

So we'll start from the bottom and go up. Think of it similar to a military rank in this aspect. I'm not gonna go into a bunch of military terminology because lazy.


Indocto - your initiates, fresh meat, what have you. They have the least authority and are pretty much in training, getting their bearings and learning how the world works kind of deal.


Milites - they're on level with your soldiers. They don't necessarily have the authority to order around Indocto, but they generally help them fit in and guide them into being milites themselves. They have a little bit more freedom in terms of doing things (they don't have to be mindless zombies and follow ever order, but if given an order by an upper rank, they should probably follow for good reason).


Regimen - these are your team captains and local leaders. They have enough authority to tell their teams what to do. Usually its to help distribute strengths and achieve goals set out for them. They have influence with their local church and have a little more valid word than Milites do (milites aren't completely ignored if they have an opinion, but regimen tend to validate their argument because upper rank).


Sacerdos - they are more of a regional leader and have more authority of what happens in the town/city they may be stationed at (if there's not a deos sacerdotem there already). They are usually the big problem solvers and have a higher level of authority than the regimen. They can ask for assistance and rations from the Vatican as well as file progress reports. They are able to control all the ranks below them, telling them what missions they should probably do, what actions they could take, as well decide on important matters (something happens, they need to do things kinda deal. being vague on purpose).


So on and so forth. Venator and Deos Sacerdotem are on the same level, but Deos Sacerdotem may have more authority and influence because they are normally more stationary than their Venator counterparts. They can completely take over a church or town/city if deemed necessary. They may also rule the region under the Vatican's banner if their reasoning is validated first.


So... I guess in terms of US Army Military Ranks:


Indocto: Private


Milites: Specialist


Regimen: Sergant Major


Sacerdo: Colonel


Venator: Deos Sacerdotem: Major General


I hope that makes some kind of sense. eAe...

I was more worried about his time in the service compared to his rank to be honest xD

Wait what.

Oh, something i just realized i read wrong. I had thought that Too much idea's character had too few years in the dark chapter to be their current rank xD

 

[sorrow made you]

Ahh, okay. xD


Well, I'm tallying this up, and I have come to this conclusion,


Currently seeking:


- 3 Regimen


- 6 Milites


- 1 Indocto


- 3 Domare


- 3 Exorcismo


edit;; at least to even things up

Can my OC still be a Sacerdo?


Or is it better if i tune it down to Domare?

Maybe using personality traits first, and then writing it out after may help?

Sacerdo is rank, Domare is specialty. xD


I'd prefer it be something lower like a Milites or Indocto.

I'll think about it as i do his bio, once i have that down i can reread it then i'll be able to get a better feel for how to word it.

Regimen may work also. But I'll have to see the character as a whole. xD
