Leader

The Leader is the President with full executive and administrative power over the group.

President

Within the National Crime Syndicate, the President is generally seen as the boss, the leader, the first man. The President is the main asset to the Syndicate, his safety and ruling are the most important things that made, patched members will have to appropriate themselves towards. The President will lead all major attacks, assign all roles throughout the faction to made members, assign tasks to Prospects, settle disputes both within and outside of the Syndicate, cast votes among the gang to resolve any issues that may question the gang's honour and morals, and will serve as a diplomatic representative when confronting other factions. In war, it should be your main priority to defend and assist the President above all other ranking members. The President will also serve as a Treasurer, collecting all earnings from anyone working under the gang (this includes members, prospects, etc.), keeping records of the club's funds and putting them to appropriate use, then redistributing any 'necessities' (drugs, guns, etc.) to the gang at a fair price.

Followed by the President is the...

Vice-President

This person is the second in command and the right hand of the President. He presides over Syndicate affairs in the absence of the President. As a rule, he is hand picked by the President and is heir apparent to the Syndicate's co-leadership. This role will serve all duties of the President in his absence, as well as assisting the President in his tasks while he is around, discussing certain situations and having an equal impact to the President on decisions. The Vice-President will also serve as a 'Sergeant at Arms', keeping order within the Syndicate and administering appropriate punishment towards rule breakers in general.

Aside from these two boss ranks, working and leading a specific group is the...

Captain

Much like the term 'Capo' used within the standard Italian-American crime family, the Captain will be responsible for leading his own crew of select members in a separate region within the city. He will be responsible for assigning tasks to any prospects.

The Captain will be responsible for setting the standard on earnings, such as, deciding the expected payments he should hope to receive from every crew member. The Captain will collect the earnings, then pay a percentage back to the President/Vice-President in order to properly fund the chapter (this money will then be redistributed among every crew to cover the cost of necessities).

Generally working within the Captain's crew will be...

The Enforcer

This role will consist of working under a Captain (if they are assigned to a separate crew in a specific area, otherwise just the President of the single chapter in its entirety). Their main role is simply to defend the boss they're working under, much like a bodyguard, and fulfil any specific tasks the boss may request, generally violent tasks. The Enforcer is generally seen as the 'Elite' member within any crew. The Enforcer may be sent out to do any number of tasks, such as hits, kidnappings, arson towards a specific business, home or other building/turf, and many more tasks. They won't be made to go alone, Enforcers have their choice of any number of assistants (keeping within the gang rules), these can be either prospects or made members working under the same boss as the Enforcer.

The Enforcer will lead either himself alone or himself and his assistants through the task, dictating the roles of each person, then strategizing the task's plan. With this role, the Enforcer will be expected to properly execute every task given to him, this is a great responsibility; they will be held responsible for any 'fuck-ups' that may occur within a task, by which they will be punished for with either a fine, or a beating of some sort.

As the Enforcer may be the elite member within a crew, they can seek assistance from the...

Patched Member

To put it simply, the patched member is the 'made man' of the gang, he has risen from the ranks of being a mere prospect to a fully fledged member and affiliate to the faction. This role consists of having a greater authority over Prospects and other non-members, by which they can set Prospects on minor tasks (nothing too serious) or request their assistance in basic earning tasks (such as, backup in a drug/gun deal, assisting with a kidnapping, minor tasks). The patched member is responsible for defending whichever turf they may work within, as well as contributing to the tribute system through their earnings, and going to battle through either the Captain's orders (minor attacks and such) or the President/Vice-President's orders (major attack). Patched members can obtain items through their captain or President, for a fair price.

And then, the final rank working under everyone, including the patched members...

Prospect

This rank consists of outsiders, Syndicate hopefuls - who must spend at least a week in a probationary status, and must prove during that time that they are worthy of becoming a club member. This rank will be committed to working under the gang, performing any tasks they may be asked to do, from menial labour, earning their single tribute payment, and simply assisting patched members, to fighting for the gang (mainly while on-duty as a bodyguard), defending gang turf (such as the main turf, businesses, etc.) when asked to do so, as well as performing a single major task alone to gain entry within the club's official ranks.
