 Rune Knights A military subdivision within the Council, acting as a personal constable of sort, Rune Knights are the Council's army. Their job is to enforce the Council's ideals of justice and to investigate crimes related to the Magic world. They are also responsible for dealing with issues such as detaining criminals and passing judgement on to them. They patrol over a large span of land all across the country. They are known to possess several garrisons scattered throughout Fiore, with their numbers being consistent, and have battleships at their disposal for sea transportation. They are divided into regimens much like how guilds operate, with some of them performing particular duties, with the Regimen leader being a General which is akin to a Guild Master and is always an S ranked Mage. Regimen have a fair bit of freedom able to take jobs within smaller squads or individually. They usually work out of a specific Garrison and operate much like Mage Guilds do. Indeed the only difference between them and Mage guilds are that they investigate magical crimes perpetuated by other guilds as it is no longer legal for legal guilds to engage in combat with one another anymore (unless they are friendly sparring of course). Also until a Rune knight is of officer rank they will wear the normal uniform which is a long, high-collared, sleeveless dark robe over a light shirt with wide sleeves ending below the elbows, where they are circled by thin bands; the robe is covered on the front by a light cloth, bearing the dark, ankh-like symbol of the Council, held still by a light belt circling the waist. Around the soldiers' neck is a long, light cape bearing the Council's insignia on the back, held closed below the neck by a rhomboidal clasp adorned by a gem, and on their head sits a light headgear, with a decorated lower part, reminiscent of a mitre, but with three tops, a central one and two more at its sides. They also wear simple boots with the front parts covered in vertical stripes. Also upon entry each Rune Knight is issued a Magic staff that contains a Lacrima they can charge with their magic to use however they choose (though using and carry the staff is optional). The Ranks of the Rune Knights are disparate from the Magical Rank of the Mage in question. This means that a recruit can be anywhere from the base required rank of D to the highest rank of S. Just because the Mages Magic Rank is high enough for a promotion does not mean that they get one. There are various reasons why a Rune Knight would be at a station lower than his Magic Rank though those will be discussed elsewhere. The ranks are as follows. Recruit Base Magic Rank required D these are the beginners, either having just joined or never proven themselves worthy enough to move to the next step. They are the bottom of the totem pole and are usually used as foot soldiers being the lesser ranked soldiers they must follow the orders of every other member of the army besides other recruits. Warrant Officer Base Magic Rank required C these are those who have shown magical promise and have moved on to the next rung and are one step away from being of officer class. They are higher ranked than Recruits and as such have the right to give them orders. However, the ranks above them are usually the ones calling the shots and telling them what to tell the recruits. Colonel Base Magic Rank required B these Mages have shown that they are better than your average Joe and could even lead your average Joe. This rank being the first officer rank is allowed to wear whatever clothing they want so long as the symbol for the Magic Council is on them somewhere leading some to place it on their body visibly much like with Guild Crest. This rank is usually used by the higher rungs to manage the lower ranks without getting bogged down with the details and as such there are usually many captains within a regimen. These are usually the officers that the lesser ranks see and get most of their orders from. Lieutenant general Base Magic Rank required A exceptional Mages who have risen to a height that seldom ever get to. This rank much like the previous rank can wear whatever clothes they wish with the same Magic Council restriction placed upon them. This rank only answers to the Generals and the Magic Council and as such usually takes their orders from them to give to the lower ranks. Though they are afforded much freedom on how these orders should be carried out. General Base Magic Rank required S Impossibly strong Mages who have risen to the highest echelon of magic. This rank much like the previous rank can wear whatever clothes they wish with the same Magic Council restriction placed upon them. This rank only answers to the Magic Council and as such usually takes the orders from them to give to the lower ranks. However these are far and few between as the Council tends to leave the Generals to their own devices. MADE BY KIROUKO OF GANGNAM-STYLE |
