Defenders of Darkness Ranking System

The DoD Ranking System is based directly on the anime Kill la Kill and the 'Goku Uniforms' on the show.

The exact rankings, as well as what they do, are as follows:

0 Star Ranking, AKA Grunt Status
0 Star Members are the starting rank, and thus are the weakest in terms of power and influence in the Defenders of Darkness, they can be many in number, but may be lead by 2 Stars, 3 Stars, and the leader.

0 Star Members are usually given missions to fulfill, such as posting in the Pokemon XY Community, or defending the PEIC community against invaders, and assisting DoD's allies, as well.

1 Star Ranking, AKA Average Status
1 Star Members are like elite grunts, though their power is greater, they don't have the authority to lead 0 Star members unless permission is granted by the leader, DoD Riley.

1 Star Members have the same missions as 0 Stars, though they can be trusted to complete their missions more than the 0 Stars, as well as following the Defenders of Darkness Code of Conduct on their own.

2 Stars Ranking, AKA Admin Status
2 Stars Members are known to have more power and influence among DoD members, and can occasionally be given permission to lead a small group of 0-and-1 Star members to accomplish missions.

2 Stars Ranking is more difficult to obtain than 1 Star, it requires dedication and loyalty, in addition to following orders and successfully completing missions, as well as following the DoD CoC closely, and of course, being loyal to leader DoD Riley, and helping allies as well.

However, 2 Stars members can be lead by 3 Stars Members, as well as the Leader, or 'Kiriyuin' of the clan.

3 Stars Ranking, AKA Elite Status
3 Stars Members are the best of the Defenders of Darkness, they are fully dedicated and committed to ensuring that DoD is successful and powerful, and will do everything in their power to succeed in any mission that they're given, they are second only to the leader, DoD Riley, and there can only be 4 of them, apparently this was DoD Riley's decision, in order to closely base it on KLK's system.

3 Stars have the power and influence to lead small groups of 0, 1, and 2 Star Members in order to accomplish any missions they're given, with the Leader's permission to lead said group, of course.

Also, 3 Star Members are the closest possible ranking a member can achieve, and they are generally some of the most powerful, well-known Defenders of Darkness even by themselves.

Finally, the Kiryūin of DoD; The Leader

Satsuki Kiryūin of Kill La Kill, whom DoD Riley had compared himself to

There is only one leader, as there are only 4 Elites.

The Leader and Creator of the Defenders of Darkness, DoD Riley, has the power and influence to determine who should have this ranking or that ranking, and has authority over even the 3 Stars Members.

DoD Riley also decides on missions to give, as well as making rules the DoD follows, in addition to working on alliances around Miiverse.

The Kiryūin, or Leader, also deals with various issues personally, and makes Base Posts, as well.

He can alter the Defenders of Darkness Code of Conduct whenever he sees fit, too.
