As set down by the Elders of the Corsairs
The Council of Elders
Brothers that have distinguished themselves in both diplomacy (RP) and war (PvP). Elders are highly respected in the Corsair community and form the top most branch of political power. Since there is no executive authority, the Elders act as semi-executives, making decisions until a problem arises at which point they call a meeting of the Council of Corsair Elders.
New Elders may be elected to the Council in a 2/3 vote by active members of said Council. Elders do not need to have been Centurions.
The Councils main political powers are:
a) Proposing and voting on alignment changes or policy changes.
b ) Proposing a general state of war
c) If a state of war has been decided, electing an Emperador.
d) Appointing by majority vote new Centurions.
The Elders also will be expected to play the role of generals of the Corsair military.
The Councils main military responsibilities are:
a) Ability to over-ride a Centurions order in the field.
b ) Remove a Centurion on the field from active duty until the Council can vote on his punishment or continued service.
c) In a state of war, lead Corsair and allied forces on the front lines.
d) Train new Brothers and Centurions in the arts of war and diplomacy.
The Centuriate Assembly
Centurions are Brothers that have distinguished themselves in either matters of diplomacy (RP) or uncanny combat prowess (PvP). These Brothers command a century (100) of fighter craft against the enemy, but bow to the commands of Elders.
The Assemblys main political powers are:
a) Ratifying alignment changes or policy changes.
b ) Ratifying a general state of war.
c) Petition the Council for action.
d) Are not able to propose policy changes.
The Assemblys main military responsibilities are:
a) Commanding their century of fighter craft, and carrying out the will of the Elders in their provincia.
b ) Working well with other Centurions to guard and protect the Corsair nation.
c) On diplomatic missions, acting as the Elders bodyguards and advisors.
d) Training new Brothers the art of war or diplomacy.
Emperador
This position grants the appointed dictatorship over the Corsair nation in times of war.
Elders act as generals in the Emperadors army. They also act as his bodyguard, and if the Emperador doesnt step down at the end of hostilities, his assassins. The Emperador isnt allowed to have a personal bodyguard.
"The thirteen saloons that had lined the one street of Seney had not left a trace. The foundations of the Mansion House hotel stuck up above the ground. The stone was chipped and split by the fire. It was all that was left of the town of Seney. Even the surface had been burned off the ground.
Nick looked at the burned-over stretch of hillside, where he had expected to find the scattered houses of the town and then walked down the railroad track to the bridge over the river. The river was there."
All ranks stayed pretty much the same. This was introduced to give a better rank structure to the Brotherhood, and to give people more of an incentive to work there way up to Elder.
The first two Centurions to be voted in are Skyelius and Globalo.
