Power Ranks
Each rank represents a significant jump in power, skill, and influence, and ascending these ranks is likely a combination of natural talent (Life Code Aspects), training, and experience. Higher ranks would be rarer and correspondingly revered or feared. Here's how each rank works:
Common
Description: The average person with no particular power or minor abilities. Most people in villages, towns and noble children fall here.
Role: Common individuals form the backbone of society, filling most civilian roles. They could have minor Life Code aspects, like enhanced sight or stamina, but nothing remarkable.
Uncommon
Description: The limit of most ordinary people with basic Life Codexs. Getting past the uncommon rank would not be possible for majority of the population without external materials to be used, or an absurd amount of time.
Role: Uncommon are often found in specialized jobs, such as skilled artisans. They may lead small groups or manage limited responsibilities in larger organizations.
Rare
Description: People with distinctive abilities, possibly low-level magic, martial prowess, or an ability that gives them an edge.
Role: Rares could be minor nobles, officers in the military, or talented mages or warriors. They are noticeable but not yet remarkable enough to attract significant attention from higher powers.
Heroic
Description: Exceptional individuals with notable powers, often skilled enough to lead others or protect entire communities. The Heroic rank is where true power is displayed in this world. There is a distinct gap between a Hero, and a commoner.
Role: Heroic ranks could be the "knights" or military captains and may command respect due to their skill and power. They often become the protectors and guards in Noble Houses.
Epic
Description: Individuals with substantial power or magical prowess. Their abilities allow them to lead large groups, control elemental forces, or wield impressive physical strength.
Role: Epics could hold high military or administrative ranks, govern regions, or lead organizations. Their feats are enough to be remembered in stories or local legends, and they could be pivotal allies for the main character.
Sainthood
Description: Those with powers seen as almost sacred or divine. They are revered by society and may possess powers that resonate with one of the Divine Trinity energy types. Saints are publicly known as the Highest rank of power in this world.
Role: Saints might be seen as religious or mystical figures, often advisors to kings or leading prestigious institutions. They hold authority and influence and may be the heads of factions or sects dedicated to preserving certain ancient knowledge or guiding the younger generations.
