Here is a brief description of the Ranks:
Leader: The Leader is responsible for all of the Gang, and is generally the oldest, or at least one of them. He or she has to have been in the Gang for a very long time to achieve this Rank--probably their whole life. The only way for this position to be lost is death, resignation, or a unanimous vote. Current leader: Edur.
Second in Command: The Second in Command is almost always the closest friend of the Leader. He or she acts the part of the Leader when said Leader is not there, and is probably one of the oldest in the Gang. Should the Leader fall pray to any of the above tragedies, the Second in Command becomes the Leader. Current Second in Command: Dante.
Protector: The Protector tends to be characterized as the "motherly" one of the group (that does not mean it is limited to only female characters, however.) This Rank is chosen more by personality than skill (although some argue that a social personality would in fact qualify as a skill.) They are expected to care for younger members, and look out for them and have a major influence on the rest of the Gang. Current Protecter: Lise.
Provider: The Provider is usually the most skilled thief of the Gang. He or she generally does the more difficult thefts--perhaps a fan during heat waves or a clock for the headquarters. The Provider is not your average thief (as most of the Gang would be proud to categorize themself); he or she is extremely crafty and cunning in their ways, and very valuable to the Gang. Current Provider: Gabe.
Healer: The Healer is the member most skilled when it comes to dealing with the sick or injured. A good supply of medicinal stock is required, and makes up a big part of the Provider's job, especially during winter months when members often get sick from the lack of adequate heating. Current Healer: Erik.
Respected Ones: These are generally older members of the group, who have earned the priviledge of respect from all members. They, along with the above Ranks, are entitled to making desicions regarding the welfare of the Gang. Current Respected Ones: None.
Sentries: Sentries are a lot like lookouts. They must be gifted with a good sense of the whereabouts of the city, and are often sent out as spies or back-up. Sentries tend to be very intelligent and quick thinking, and are often given the job of writing moving riddles. They have more power than a regular Member or Scout, but are among the lesser members. Current Sentries: Ian.
Scouts: Scouts are generally made up of new, young children. They are sent out as errand runners and, should they prove worthy, eventually are promoted to Sentry, although the especially promising children skip this rank and go right to Sentry. Typically, Scouts are never older than eleven, as it is merely a starter Rank for those who show above average skills. Current Scouts: None.
Members: Members are the part of the Gang who have no obvious Rank.
Rogue: Rogues are not part of the Gang. It's just a default rank for new joiners to the guild and is immediately changed to Member once they have joined the Gang.
Leader: The Leader is responsible for all of the Gang, and is generally the oldest, or at least one of them. He or she has to have been in the Gang for a very long time to achieve this Rank--probably their whole life. The only way for this position to be lost is death, resignation, or a unanimous vote.
