In OOC terms, there aren't really many ranks in the Ashen Eyed as we don't want to divide people. Really, the only two ranks are 'Guardsman' and 'Captain'. However, there are some small distinctions put in place just to help things run smoothly.

Guardsmen
The loyal, hard-working, disposable soldiers without whom the guild would be simpler nothing.

Recruit

All new members start off as recruits for a brief period just while they see if the Guild is right for them. This rank is for those who've applied but haven't yet had an IC meeting with a Captain.

Ashen Guard

This is the rank to describe the majority of members. Holding the title of Ashen Guard symbolises a commitment to The Ashen Eyed, and support in all its endeavours. There are also various other things to say to make the description of the most common rank in the guild more padded out, but they are just too illustrious and wonderful to put into words.

Veteran Guard

Members who have been in the guild for a while are given the rank of Veteran Guard. The rank of Veteran Guard is just there to reward people who have been around and stuck with us for a long time. It doesn't grant any additional power, although becoming corrupted by a false perception of authority is seen as common and inevitable.

Captains
The people responsible for herding the rabble organising the regiment and ensuring that all works towards the goals and wishes of the Commander. Each Captain is awarded their own title to the end that their personal talents are best taken advantage of.

Captain General – Rakk

Captain Lieutenant – Caecilius Stephlanson

((OOC Captain - Australis/Marilley))

The Commander
Known only under his alias of 'Aren', the commander directs The Ashen Eyed regiment through instructions via his Captains.

(OOC, the people in charge are Escreon and Rakk, even though IC this may not always be the case. Anything pertaining to the overall running of the guild can be asked to either of these two, whereupon they will direct you to/blame the other.)
