Hunter
Although the general term for anyone who is part of the Hunter organization, Hunter is also a rank within the organization. It is the most numerous rank, and the highest for anyone with only partial control over their element can obtain. When hunting weaker creatures they can hunt on their own. More often than not, however, they accompany Master Hunters when there is a bounty for a stronger or particularly nasty lycanthrope or vampire.
Qualifications
Need to have passed the test at the end of your time as an Acolyte
Requirements
All who attain this rank must be adept in at least one element of magic.
Appointment
A test is given to Acolytes who have been an acolyte for at least one year without accruing any disciplinary actions. Should the acolyte fail the test, they would be eligible to re-take it in 3 months, unless they receive any disciplinary actions. If they do, the year resets.
Duties
Most hunters are assigned to a new recruit to help get them acclimated to the society. This creates an older sibling/younger sibling kind of bond.
Responsibilities
The Hunters do the more typical hunts of the society - killing lower level vampires that are put on the list or helping to protect a village who claims to be under attack by a monster.
Benefits
Once a member attains the rank of Hunter, they are treated like lower level nobility in the city of Ythal. Even though their hunts bring in a lot of gold, Hunters rarely have to pay for anything in the city.
Accoutrements & Equipment
While there is no set uniform, all Hunters are required to have some form of leather armour that allows ease of movement but fully protects any vital areas. Many hunters who have been at this rank for more than a few years have acquired multiple sets of such armor, each one designed slightly differently depending on the monster they anticipate they will be fighting.
Crossbows are a common weapon of choice, followed very closely by enchanted swords.
