Co-Ranks
How to Earn a Co-Rank
Co-Ranks are IC recognitions of a character's talents. If a character excels at one thing, they may be encouraged by another member to seek a co-rank
- The first thing that you do to begin to gain a co-rank is to private message Erin [Savina Marino] or Alli [Anu]. They will put you into the cache as a prospective co-rank earner.
- Have three separate threads that involve your character doing something that is related to the co-rank that he or she would like to have.
- Private message either Erin or Alli with links to the three threads, and they will either approve/dissapprove.
- Puppies may not earn co-ranks.
- To earn a co-rank, you must be an active member of the pack above the level of Plebeian. If your character falls to the level of Plebeian or below, your co-rank will be removed.
- Co-ranks may be reapplied for, but you must go through the entire process to regain them
