seems a bit over complex Techy , its not the CIA we are forming ....do we need such a structure , the idea of ranks linked to Pres earne dis ok, but saying who is SWAT and who is not ..seem a bit too far .. IMHO ..

Well, ranks have got to mean something. That was just an example, and some reasoning behind the rank names. SWAT was the only equivelant I could think of. e.g the most experienced members, etc will, by default of being around the longest and earning the most prestige, will have been fighting for the longest...ergo.

And this is very baseline for me, Pious. If you want deep, I can do better

I agree with Alpha. For roleplay purposes beyond prestige ranks, the titles need reason and his examples are spot on with the theme.

  • Associates are the newest members or those who only sometimes hunt with us.
  • Trackers hunt common threats in places not too dangerous, usually as told to by more experienced Nighthunters.
  • Seekers are elite trackers, hunting the supernatural in dangerous places, mostly under their own volition.
  • Judicators are highly experienced seekers adept at more specialist tactics for hunting more extreme targets.
  • Enlightened have developed, through experience, the skills, knowledge and understanding to stop the most evil of all.
  • Illuminated is an exemplary Enlightened, elected to lead. They bear the metaphorical light that directs the group.

Night Hunters good to go for the group name? Thats the one thing we need to get right first go, since that's the only thing we can't edit at all.
Afterall, demons/ghosts and supernaturals are all usually associated with the Night...so what they literally hunt IS the Night? =P

i am happy with Nighthunters as the SG name ..

as am aside ..rank names do not have to be used , we could choose to ignore ranks , after all they are just a method of assigning SG and Base rights ..we could all , bar the needed SG leader , have the rank of Member , all with the same level of rights , and ignore the other ranks ..

Dang its that neo anarcist gene palying up again ...

That just leads to problems. Even if the 'reward' of going up a rank is slight, its still a little mark of satisfaction. That and people tend to get jaded when even a rank newcomer has as much say and rights as someone who has put, say, a years worth of effort in. Extreme example, but you know what I mean. And yes it's an RP group, and IC even more so characters would have some sort of ranking system. Thats just how things go.

Well, it's certainly more interesting to have an improvement/development system within the team.


 

Posted

Hmm, with Tech's beautiful explanation of the ranks, I'm beginning to think Ava might not be cut out for this

I'll poke around my character slots once more to see if there's anyone else who seems more suitable.


 

Posted

Okay, it looks like Ava is the only suitable character I have.

We going to bother with SG costumes or not? If you want, I could try whip something up.

Trenchcoats are mandatory, on pain of death!

Uhm...Probably not a uniform. Maybe just use of the SG Icon, whatever that ends up being?
Y'know...'They shall know us by our deeds, not by the colour we wear'. Or something. Heh.

Probably preferable. In most fiction, organisations like this generally don't go for a specific uniform for anyone above Red Shirt status.

Besides, I'm not too sure Hellhog would appreciate not being allowed to burn the enemy in his biking kit.

hellskeeper has a cossie that goes with her fire armor ..and no trenchcoat is included ..so her look is fixed ... so only a non combat cossie would work for her ...mind you she is always happy to go clothes shopping if some one else is offering to pay ....

Don't sell yourself short Phantom, I'm sure Ava's got the strongest human heart to take out those nasties.

I think we would stand out well in black trenchcoats and cloaks with maybe a touch of red. Should we use the crescent moon SG symbol?

So lets talk Seeketh the Legions of Abomination. I'll use this format to provide clues to the investigation, as we progress through the story.

Initial Incident - Gordon Bower called Talenar, Hellskeeper, Pious, Damsel, Arkeela and Xariel, Hellhog, Surayah and others to find Mr Norman.
  • Clues: Mrs Norman last saw her husband heading into the Forest of Dread.

I gather we need someone who can track the husband down... I dont expect Mrs Norman to have any more hints. Suraya (Desert Princess) is mostly comforting the woman now.

And she is not a good tracker.... (Illusion/Thermal)

34 now... can make a mission handy slot for her to include the trenchcoat hunter look. And I agree this should be different for everyone.



I also like the crescent moon SG symbol for this. It is small enough to be used as a brooch on a trenchcoat or jacket. And very fitting.

I am no fan of wednesday... you know why. I am still a member of the Militia with a cool toon or two.

7:30 might be cutting it a little too close to foods time for me. I can probably manage 8 though.

Also, like Korny, this Friday's out of the question for me too. Christmas Party.
