 Alvarez Army A military subdivision within the Empire, acting as a personal constable of sort, the AA much like the Rune Knights make up Alakitasia's army. Their job is to enforce the Empire'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 Alakitasia, 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 are the equivalent of Mage Guilds in Alakitasia as if you are not a part of the AA you are a Dark Guild. Because of this there is no difference in Mage Guilds of Alakitasia and regimens of the AA as talking about on is the same as talking about the other. Also until a member of the AA is of officer rank they will wear the normal uniform which is a long, low-collared, long sleeved tunic with light colored sleeves, and gloves that cover up to the forearm; the tunic is striped, bearing dark blue, and light gold colors, held still by a light belt circling the waist. Around the soldiers' neck is a long, light cape bearing the Alvarez 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 draping that covers the sides and comes down over the neck and chest. They also wear simple boots with the front parts covered in vertical stripes. Also upon entry each member is giving a magic spear that explodes when thrust extending damage range by 5ft and a normal shield (though using and carry the these are optional). The Ranks of the AA 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 an AA member 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 |
