작가에 도움 될지도 모를 랭킹 시스템 (퍼온 글)

Creating a ranking system in a fantasy world can add depth to your setting and influence character development, plot progression, and social interactions. Here’s a structured approach to designing a ranking system:

1. Types of Ranks

• Noble Hierarchy: Kings, Queens, Dukes, Barons, Knights, Squires.
• Guild or Faction Ranks: Initiate, Apprentice, Journeyman, Master, Grandmaster.
• Magical Ranks: Novice, Adept, Mage, Archmage, Sorcerer/Sorceress.
• Military Ranks: Recruit, Private, Sergeant, Captain, General, Commander.

2. Criteria for Advancement

• Experience: Gaining experience through quests, battles, and challenges.
• Achievements: Completing significant tasks, defeating powerful foes, or discovering ancient artifacts.
• Skill Mastery: Demonstrating proficiency in a specific skill or magic.
• Reputation: Building a reputation through deeds, alliances, and public perception.

3. Ranking Effects

• Access to Resources: Higher ranks may grant access to better weapons, armor, spells, or knowledge.
• Influence: Higher-ranking characters may have more say in political matters or guild decisions.
• Quests and Missions: Certain ranks may unlock unique quests or missions that are unavailable to lower ranks.

4. Unique Elements

• Cultural Variance: Different cultures or regions may have their own unique ranking systems (e.g., honor-based, merit-based).
• Dynamic Ranks: Ranks can change based on character choices, alliances, or betrayals, adding a layer of unpredictability.
• Titles and Honors: Characters might earn titles that reflect their achievements (e.g., “The Dragon Slayer,” “The Wise”).

5. Visual Representation

• Symbols or Badges: Create unique symbols or badges that represent each rank, which can be worn or displayed.
• Ceremonies: Incorporate ceremonies for rank advancement, adding a ceremonial aspect that can influence character interactions.

Example Ranking System: The Order of the Silver Phoenix

• Ranks:
  1. Initiate: New members, learning the basics.
  2. Adept: Members who have completed initial training and are starting to take on missions.
  3. Guardian: Experienced members who protect the realm and mentor Initiates.
  4. Champion: Leaders in battle, known for their great deeds.
  5. Phoenix: The highest rank, reserved for legendary heroes who have saved the realm multiple times.
• Advancement Criteria:
• Complete a series of quests.
• Defeat a major antagonist.
• Demonstrate leadership in a significant battle.

This framework can be adapted to fit the tone and themes of your fantasy world, ensuring it reflects the values and structure of the society you’ve created.

익숙한게 잘 읽힘...설명도 줄어들고...선협을 안본 이유가 경지구분이 햇갈려서...연허기 원영기 이딴식으로 경지룰 나누니 이게 어느정돈지 모르겠음 무협은 절정초절정 화경현경 이런식으로 나뉘어야ㅠ따로 설명없어도 어느정도 위치인지 파악이 쉬움 헌터물은 알파벳이 최고지 ㅋㅋ

장단점이 존재하죠. 익숙한 건 이해하기 쉽고, 새로운 시스템은 신선하니까요. 중간을 잘 지키는 사람이 대중적인 인기를 얻겠죠.

예전에 우리가 쓰는 많은 단어들을 자신의 언어로 창조해서 글을 쓰는 유명작가의 글을 읽은 적이 있는데, 예를 들면 1월부터 12월의 달 이름까지도 각각 자신이 창조한 단어를 썼어요. 그걸 읽다가 든 생각은 이 책을 읽느니 영어 단어책을 외우는 게 낫겠다고 ...ㅋㅋㅋ

결국 읽는 것을 포기했죠.
