Operative groups have an internal hierarchy that organizes all members into groups. This is the hierarchy, ordered from highest to lowest in rank. Everyone listed here can be referred to as a LAS Member.
| Captain | The most stressful and highest rank in an operative group. A captain gives out commands, leads meetings, vetoes or approves final decisions, manages budget, and enforces group-specific rules they see fit. Captains are notorious for their legally dubious and rotten behavior. Notorious for their god complexes, far too many captains behave as if above consequence. A captain doesn't have to answer to anyone below them. This position requires specialized training. |
| Inquisitors | Inquisitors work in tandem with the captain, carrying a similar power. Inquisitors keep track of the behavior, compliance, and mental health of each group member. Said reports are given to the captain for further review. They conduct monthly interviews with members to review their training progress, group conduct, and deference to official group restrictions and regulations. A captain can give orders to a inquisitor, but cannot stop a inquisitor from reporting misconduct, including a captain's misconduct. Inquisitors aren't known for their battle prowess, but are called upon in a pinch when infantry requires extra hands. Instead of fighting demons, they're knee-deep in paperwork. A inquisitor's most important job is to stomp out rebel propaganda and to ensure no one in their group is a spy. When understaffed, a different member of the group could assume this role if they have certification. This position requires specialized training. |
| Directors | Directors create group schedules, bring complaints to the captain, and assist with paperwork. They direct a group to follow orders, and are known for being pushy and passive-aggressive. A director is directly below a captain. While captains technically get the last say, they need the director to assist them, because directors enact their captain's will. Because of this, directors and captains argue often. Depending on the size of a group, there could be up to three directors. This position requires specialized training. |
| Medics | Medics are crucial to any group, which is why they are higher on the hierarchy. It takes far longer to train as a medic than to train as a member of the group's infantry. Training requires studying several textbooks to completion, as well as hands-on training under an experienced medic. The medic's job is to heal the wounds and ailments of an injured group member. In addition, a medic must be prepared to perform exorcisms and break curses and hexes. Medics are usually soft and have no battle prowess. In contrast, some infantry later become medics if it is a better fit for them. Medics are unsung heroes. While some mock the position or are rude to medics, it's generally best practice to respect them. Involving a medic in unnecessary combat could lead to disciplinary action. This position requires specialized training. |
| Trainers | Trainers can hold the position of medic, director, captain, or infantry in addition to their trainer status. They are in charge of instructing and supervising trainees. This position grants authorial power over trainees. |
| Coordinators | The coordinator organizes time, places, and budget for group bonding activities. In addition, the coordinator takes stock of the main fridge and arranges the replacement and maintenance of appliances. The coordinator is a position in addition to infantry or medic. Coordinators do not hold an extra position of power, and are rather put-upon. |
| Infantry | The core of an operative group. Infantry neutralizes supernatural threats, exorcises spirits from buildings, and follows the orders of anyone above them. Everyone in the infantry has completed their operative training. Infantry and trainees are seen as the most expendable of any group. |
| Trainees | A trainee studies and trains for the infantry or the medics. While there used to be many specialized training groups in the past, budgeting forces trainees to join OP groups directly. |
Different groups have different requirements. Depending on group size, a group might contain multiple inquisitors, directors, coordinators, and medics. Group #113, for example, is half the size of the average group.
All captains must participate in the regional board. There are meetings every two months reviewing the activity and progress of every aspect of LAS.
| LAS CEO | Self evident. Might sit in on meetings, might not. |
| LAS Group Shareholders | Rich organizational representatives or wealthy individuals with money invested in LAS. While they're technically not in charge, their demands are law. |
| LAS Regional Directors | LAS Regional Directors are part of the review board who makes final decisions on changes to LAS regulations and restrictions. Regional Directors decide if a group should be moved or shut down. |
| LAS Consultants | The alleged "brains" behind this operation, usually those with a background in statistics and HR. Could mean the difference between a budget cut and an expanded budget, since their expertise means much to the shareholders. |
| LAS Financial Officer | The LAS financial managers are in charge of LAS budgeting, including money for operative groups, trainee groups, research groups, and off-site operatives who don't live in groups. If a group, region, or province isn't falling in line, they can advise the consultants to cut funding and dismantle entire operations. |
| Regional Representatives | Region representatives report on all groups within their region, which includes all provinces. They can give direct orders to province representatives and captains. |
| Province Representatives | Province representatives report on all groups within their province. On the rare occasion of under-staffing, a captain in the province is also a province representative. |
| Operative Group Captains | Captains are included on the board, but are the lowest of the hierarchy. Their Inquisitor attends with them, and give a detailed review of group budget and performance. Captains are the least respected official board members here, and often get put on the spot. |
| Others | A category for everyone else included in these board meetings, such as group inquisitors, the head of a science department, etc. |
Here are positions and careers within LAS that exist outside boards and operative groups.
| Intelligence Investigators | Also known as an interrogator. The intelligence investigator role is relevant to internal and external subjects — from captured rebels (ILF/TLF members) to scientists withholding information. The investigator uses their conversation skills and psychological prowess, manipulating their target into divulging information, to elicit an emotional response, or even simply to get a read on their character. A savvy investigator will use prior research to extract the right response. They also play an important role in criminal investigation related to LAS affairs. Whatever the case may be, the interrogator is noteworthy for their strategic thought process, their habit of profiling everyone around them, and their social and analytical abilities. This position requires specialized training, but inquisitors can transfer to this role with little friction. |
| Scientists & Researchers | Researchers and/or scientists study and catalog energy. Their goal is to gain understanding of it, so one could harness it effectively. Due to energy being elusive by nature, these efforts are often met with stalemate, frustration, and trauma. Researchers are discouraged from submitting information that is detrimental to Leundafel. The job of a scientist and/or researcher usually skirts the line of humane experiments, or outright ignores it. Results are all that matters. |
