Ranks

~THE ROYALS~

Tier I

Queen IDxQ

She is the undisputed leader of the hive. The queen reserves high priority to everything. The hive members live for her.

Queens are signified by extra structures on their exoskeletons, significantly higher stats, and her piercing red eyes.

On rare occasions there may be two queens, but this is hardly ever the case.

Tier II

King IDxK

The chosen mate(s) of the queen(s). He has less authority than her, but is higher than the rest of the members; he receives any power she gives him. He is also the only royal with no strength advantage, and the only royal not born into the category.

Tier III

Heir IDxH

The queen's children. They have higher stats than rest of the members, especially the females; though the queen still vastly surpasses them. If/when the (last) queen dies the females heirs will battle. The winner of the battle will consume the deceased queen's body to gain her power. Once in a while there will be a stalemate; if the two heirs agree, they'll share the queen's body(this does not impact the strength acquired

~THE HIGH~

Tier IV

Lieutenant IDxL

The second in command. The queen trusts them to keep order when there is no adult royal to run the hive.

Royal Guards IDxRG

The royals' prime protector. They'll throw their lives away to protect the royal family. Any threat to the royals will have to pulverize the royal guards before they even get near the royals.

(Selectable)

~THE AVERAGE~

Tier V

Warrior IDxWA

The prime guardians of the hive. They will give their life to defend the hive, no intruder dares come near with one of them on patrol. They take in and maintain the slaves.

They also protect the hostless members of the group and help them take a new one.

Worker IDxWO

The assistant food collecters. Their main job is to construct and maintain the physical structure of the hive, and collect materials to do so. If a boulder falls, they put it back. If a wall collapses, they fix it. If there needs to be a new structure, they build it.

Drone IDxD

The main food collectors. Their job is to ensure the well being of other members. If a member falls ill or is wounded, they will look after them. From time to time they will also scout outside the hive and raise the alarm if something nears.

~THE LOW~

Tier VI

Youth IDxY

The young, immature members of the hive. They are unable to take hosts and must be guarded.

~THE SLAVES~

Tier VII

Slave IDxS

The uninfected animals. Kept around for emergency food when supplies are low, spare bodies for parasites who lose theirs, and for general study.

(You cannot rank up from this unless you go through an infection. You will no longer roleplay as your character, but a parasite that took over them. You cannot rid your character of infection after you choose to infect them.)
