Ranks of Shienar |
|
|
|
 |
|
|
|
|
|
All soldiers of Shienar will follow a basic military ranking system. A member of Shienar must complete all the necessary requirements detailed for each rank before promotion. In all cases, the leader of Shienar and his second-in-command make the final decision on promotions. The rank structure is as follows: |
|
|
|
|
|
Initiate � Any potential member of Shienar automatically has this rank. This is not an actual rank within the unit, but is reserved for those who seek to join. They can use loaner equipment and garb while they prove their dedication by attending events and practices. |
|
|
|
 |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Guard � Once an Initiate has gone to three practices and one official event, the rest of the unit holds a meeting to vote on whether or not they will welcome the Initiate into the ranks of Shienar, at which point he/she becomes a full member of Shienar and is given the rank of Guard. |
