The 'RP Student' tag was not created as an actual roleplaying rank. It was created for potential newcomers outside the kingdom who were interested in receiving RP training. A non-RP, _temporary_ tag (RP Student) was created so these 'RP Students' could enter the castle for training classes in a controlled environment. It also made it easy to identify students from immigrants who might also be involved in such training.

The tag should be removed at the end of each training session since those who wear it are not members of Zormite and do not serve in a roleplaying capacity whatsoever. After two RP training sessions, the RP Student can enter Zormite with the Mikogen (immigrant) rank as an entry level RP rank.

The Mikogen rank is not a special title. 'Mikogen' replaces the word 'Immigrant'. Its RP significance is unchanged.

We feel the word 'immigrant' is out of place in the Zormite ranking system (being an English word) while most ranks above it had names derivative of Greek words. Rather than asking why immigrants get a special title, we asked why any English word belonged at all in this arrangement. Eventually, all the random English rank titles were replaced with original names that are more consistant with prevailing Zormite ranks.

For a reference of current Zormite ranks and their meanings :

Wren Sagesun Archigos
Eldekahn
(aka Chancellor) of the Zormite Republic
