CdA's Rank Names!

PLEASE VOTE ONLY IF YOU ARE A MEMBER OF CERCATORI D'ARTE.

Hey, all d'Artisans! I've been playing with the idea of changing the names of the ranks (just the names! No structure will be changed.) It would make the ranks much easier to comprehend at a glance, and it'd be easier to see someone's rank and know exactly at what position they are!

If the ranks are changed to English, they will have simple, easy to understand names like "Soldier" for a beginning Sentinel rank-holder, "Guardian" for an intermediate rank-holder, and "Arms-Master" for the master rank-holder - of course, you guys are free to throw out your own ideas for names of the ranks! The general ideas are here (provide feedback if you want!):

EXAMPLE 1. TRANSLATED TO ENGLISH

Ranks would still be feminized for female characters (shepherdess, etc). Tell what you think, and make sure to vote!
