While for the first months of their operation, ARMA personnel followed the old rankings of the OFL, they have since developed their own ranking system. The main framework of the group remains similar (why fix what isn't broken) but it was important that the group at some point divest themselves from the group that betrayed them just as they betrayed it. With the addition of numerous non-powered personnel as well, the old ranking system required an overhaul.
RANKINGS
Admin Note: Positions held by NPCs (no profile link) may be requested by established ARMA characters - new players should get acclimated by playing a lower ranking character in the group before requesting a leadership role. Leaders are expected to be active!
OVERSEER - PRESUMED DEAD
A void of power now for nearly a year has persisted for ARMA with the disappearance of Aura Elder.
COMMANDER - PRESUMED DEAD
One of the first to realize the corruption of the OFL's stated ideals, Alistair Greene would have been seen as a potential Overseer of the future. However missing now nearly two years he has been given up for dead.
CAPTAINS
Captains command either a single Division or a portion of a Division, depending on the needs of the group.
LIEUTENANTS
Each Captain has multiple Lieutenants working under them, organizing and commanding smaller units of force.
LOWER RANKS
Below that, there are Sergeants who aid the Lieutenants. The lowest rank for someone who is ranked in ARMA is Operative.
-------------------
KNIGHT DIVISION
Drawn primarily from the former OFL Sword and Shield groups, the Knight division is the most visible and well-known facet of ARMA's operations. Knight Division's primary duty is the protection of New York City, though it is also the division from which most of the offensive strike groups that hit targets outside the city and even the EAA are drawn. Knight Division contains both powered and unpowered humans; while the teams are generally kept separate due to the need for different tactics, it is very common for teams from both groups to work together against the same target in order to match up specialties. The unpowered humans however remain much more rare in the group.
KNIGHT CAPTAINS
There are supposed to be three Captains in Knight Division, as the group is frequently split off on various operations, but again pockets of voids continue to plague ARMA:
-------------------
TOWER DIVISION
Drawn mainly from the former OFL Eyes, Tower is responsible not only for intel and magic surveillance, but also the combat engineering and enchanting work the group does to shore up defenses both at the HQ and elsewhere in the EAA. Tower division also serves as the research and development and equipment maintenance groups.
TOWER CAPTAIN
Because their operations are more central, Tower Division has only a single captain.
Agatha "Tock" Zikara
-------------------
CLOAK DIVISION
The smallest of the divisions, Cloak is an elite group drawn from a particular type of person: someone highly skilled in combat, highly secretive, and extremely motivated. Cloak is responsible for rapid covert deployment, gathering of dangerous field intelligence, and (though this is not admitted publicly or even to other divisions), the hunt for Order moles within ARMA itself. Cloak also handles Internal Affairs style investigations for ARMA when necessary.
CLOAK CAPTAIN
Position currently vacant and infighting keeps it from being filled.
-------------------
SHIELD DIVISION
The newest division of ARMA nonetheless contains some of its most experienced personnel, though it contains the fewest individuals with powers. Shield is formed from the ranks of the Silver Winged, with an infusion of mages from Knight and Tower divisions, and its primary goal is the securing of the EAA's borders against supernatural incursion, particularly against the dragons of the North. Shield division's personnel were collected by Aura in the early days post-Resonance, and are primarily drawn from the collapsed militaries of the United States, and what was once the United Kingdom.
Because of this, their gear is much closer to military standard than the rest of ARMA, including even some armored vehicles and aircraft, as well as anti-air defenses, though the heavy equipment is kept out of the city by necessity. Integration of Shield with the rest of ARMA is ongoing, with many individuals still getting to know one another, though specially equipped Shield teams have been known to operate similarly to SWAT teams in support of Knight division on operations within the city where they are needed.
