I feel like you stepped up your descriptions in that post! Fantastic!! Just remember to put descriptions of people as well as the environment! I know you have a profile for Jason, but to keep in practice, I would recommend pretending we don’t have those to go off of. In your typical, printed story, the reader doesn’t normally have the luxury of a character profile or reference picture. And when they do have an index of characters, having to go to that every time a name comes up can take away from the story. Personally, because of that, I like to keep in practice of adding descriptions and occasional reminders even in a roleplay. Just a suggestion! With that said, I hope you don’t mind me adding that description. I did my best to go off his profile, but let me know if I got anything wrong! And bear in mind it’s described from Ava’s POV.

Pardon all the mistakes. xD The info is a rough draft. Just thought I should get that up there as soon as possible. Thanks, and glad it all made sense, nonetheless!

That we did about her parents. To get into the Community, they would have had to be either a brown/gold rank, have known a high-ranking Society member who owed them a big favor, or come from a famous family who inherited their home there. So while there would be very few orange and white ranking members living in Lion's Ridge, there would still be a few of them. I LOVE the idea for Jason! If we’ve talked about it, remind me: how new to the community are Lydia and her parents? That could potentially play a decent roll in things for her as well. Relationship and reputation wise, as well as how much she actually knows about everyone!

So, for the kids of hunters, I’m thinking that they do not technically have a rank, but often get associated with whatever rank/occupation(s) their parents are. They cannot officially join the Society until they have graduated high school or, in other countries, when they turn somewhere between 18-20. What rank they go into right off—if they choose to join the Society—depends on two things: any current reputation they have as a youth hunter (the more known they are as being a good hunter, the higher they can start out), and any recommendations from higher-ranking hunters. Though, lineage can also play a factor; if their family has been apart of the Society for multiple generations and all have been high ranking, there’s the possibility they will start out a little higher on the food chain depending on their overall abilities.

As a side, a reason there are hunters out there NOT apart of the actual Society is because the Society implements rules and keeps track of everything. Hunts embarked upon without the direct request have to be reported to a community overseer (and proof brought back if the hunter(s) is not held in the highest standing and honesty in the eyes of the overseer), even if the hunter is not apart of a community. That’s how they get their pay. That overseer gives these reports to one of the light blue ranks of their community. One of the jobs of the light blue’s is to keep track of monster sightings within the general area to watch for patterns and fluctuations of different types of monsters. Hunts done outside their direct area get sent to a community closer to where the hunt took place, a task usually delegated to one of the white-ranking hunters.
	Basically, the non-Society hunters hate having someone above them breathing down their necks, telling them what to do, and having to do other jobs on top of hunting. Pretty much all but the brown/gold hunters have other parts to play besides just hunting. All are hunters, their rank demonstrating exactly how good they are at that, but the brown/gold are those who are good enough to be deemed full-time hunters. Even those who are mostly supports to the official hunters go on the occasional hunt.

Not sure if any of that will even matter in the long-run, but… sound good?

I’m going to put Ava’s associations on her profile, but thought I would also mention it here for convenience's sake. Depending on how new Lydia is to the community, she would likely know this, too. Her mother is a brown/gold rank and her father a dark blue (thinking one of four in Lion’s Ridge because of the community’s size). Her grandfather was a red before he died during a particularly nasty hunt a couple years after she was born, and grandmother a once renowned purple. That Ava doesn’t have the desire to continue that legacy—instead wanting to play one of the more supportive roles—has gotten her plenty of crap from other Society hunters, kids and adults alike. Especially when they make the connection between her surname and a few other historical reds.
