Renegade Ranks and Responsibilities
Advancement isn't a guarantee, opportunity is.
Main Ranks
Prospect
Welcome to the company, new blood. We’re glad you’re here. Don’t wait for someone to hold your hand. Get to work. If you don’t know what to do, seek someone out of higher rank and ask them, we’re not going to drag you into RP, it’s on you to engage. We can only lead you to water, we won't hold your face down in it until you drown. Wait… oh yeah, I mean drink. We can’t make you drink. Forget that other stuff about drowning.
Renegade
The primary company rank, regardless of character focus, everyone is a Renegade first before earning a notorious or prestige rank. Each Renegade carries with them the responsibility of the company in all their interactions and are expected to conduct themselves in a way that not only upholds the company name, but builds it in the eyes of those outside of the Renegade Trade Co.To become a full fledged Renegade is not terribly hard, but it does require being present and building bonds with your fellows. We are, at our heart, a social FC, and as such, that’s what we ask of our members if they wish to grow within our community. Be around, don’t be an asshole, make friends. If that’s too much to ask, well… we both know what that means.
Notorious Ranks
To be promoted to a Notorious Rank, one must be fairly present at RP events, interact with fellow members, and show a degree of aptitude in dealing with fellow Renegades, as well as express a desire to higher ranked members of the company to be considered for promotion.
Medic
Healing focused character of high respect. Medics aren’t just battlefield healers; they perform healing arts for fellow Renegades to remedy all that ails them. Be it magical, traditional, or apothecary in nature, medics often serve by providing goods and services that can be sold on behalf of Renegade Trade Co, as well as taking up missions of mercy for those in need. Medics can look to the Chief Medic for guidance as needed, and often are promoted to this rank at their behest.
Brave
Combat Focused Character of high Renown. These Renegades have proven themselves not only in battle after battle, but also as protectors of fellows on non-combat missions, and in working with other Renegades in combat training. Be it Melee, Ranged, or Magical, these proud combatants are the force projection of the Renegade Trade Co. and the security of all our business interests. More often than not, Braves will look to the Sky Captain for guidance and leadership.
Patrician
Socially focused Character of high status. Patricians are the trend setting social butterflies, often at the heart of all social engagement, for both those within, and those outside of the Renegade Trade Co.

Trade Master's Council

Sky Captain
Tasked with the running, rebuilding, and refitting of Renegade Trade Co’s airfleet.

If your goal is to grow as a combatant, building a solid connection with the Sky Captain is a good idea.
Loremaster
The primary source of information that is historical, arcane, eldritch or otherwise thought of as lost or forgotten. The Loremaster’s voice carries tremendous weight and will often be a guiding light to all Renegades in times of peace or tribulation. Anyone who seeks guidance on any matter may seek the Loremaster, and should heed advice given by so esteemed a Renegade.
Executive Liaison

Trade Master
Owner of the Company and ultimately in charge of the goings-ons within the company. Deals with the highest level of trade agreements, assignments and handles the matters most others want no part of.
