Hey everyone. Due to various reasons and also on the player's request we're retconning Zesiro being a sergeant.
Remember, we want to keep things as fun as possible for everyone involved, so don't be afraid to reach out.
On the subject of police ranks: remember Calidor's power structures are human (and with corrupt elements). Now, there's a formal power hierarchy, but the informal hierarchy, as in the real world, is the way things really work. People tend to follow people they like, people they know, people who benefit them, etc. In most ordinary situations, cops will follow their immediate superiors. There's also groups of interest even within the police, and ranks might be relative - for example, a Captain who's unpopular might be stuck in a basement leading a small branch of a district's police force and his sway outside of the men in that branch might be almost null, while a Sergeant who is popular because he handles dirty work for the higher-ups, might have a lot of pull behind scenes.
Also, we don't want to make rank something that players should strive for to have fun, quite the contrary.
