The Lavasteam Royal Guard is a group of military-like Raposa in Lavasteam whose goal is to protect the Raposa and enforce the law. There are two known divisions of the guard, one which works on the mainland, and one which works on Ex-Isle. These two groups swap where they work every month. Both the Lavasteam and Watersong Royal Guard have similar structures to the chain of command of a fire department.
Structure
Chief
The chief of the Lavasteam Royal Guard is the Ruler of Lavasteam. The Ruler's advisor can also take responsibilities of the Chief, as seen with Salem in The Lavasteam Chronicles Part Two. The main responsibilities of the Chief include controlling pay, stationing, training, doing routine check-ins on Ex-Isle, along with all the duties of Ruler.
Deputy Chiefs
The Deputy Chiefs are two, high ranking members of the guard. The Deputies are typically directly appointed by the Chief, and they don't necessarily have to be members of the guard before their promoting, although the only known Ruler to do this is Miney. One Deputy resides over Operations, while the other resides over Engineering. The Deputy Chief of Operations is responsible for setting up training programs, handling the interviewing process, and stationing, among other roles. The Deputy Chief of Engineering is responsible for advancing technology in the guard, setting up training programs for defense and offence, and handling the interviewing process, among other roles
Specific Roles
Below the Deputy Chiefs, the ranks are divided into three shifts, and each shift works a different amount of time based on how skilled the members are and how long the members have been working with the guard. If the guard member works on Ex-Isle, then their off days off are spent in a section of the island that is separated from the exiles.
Ascending the chain of command, these three ranks are Lieutenants, Captains, and Battalion Chiefs. Lieutenants are responsible for supervising the basic levels, going on more dangerous calls, and knowing more complex skills than the basic levels. However, they are still required to do everything the basic level guards do. Captains are responsible for making administrative decisions for the active shift, speaking with the public, and being more professional than their subordinate, along with the responsibilities of Lieutenants and the basic levels. Battalion Chiefs are the highest ranking members that are active-duty, and their responsibilities include managing the guard below them, meeting with the Deputy Chiefs and Chief, and making sure everyone who is supposed to be on duty shows up to work, along with the responsibilities of the lower ranks.
On Ex-Isle, Shift A Battalion Chiefs have a more mayoral role, staying on-call 24/7, making announcements to the exiles and other guard, setting curfews, and managing attempted escapes. Shift B and C Battalion Chiefs have similar duties, but are functionally just more experienced Captains. The lower Battalion Chiefs can be promoted to Shift A in the event of death or exile of said Chief, as seen with Terra.
Basic Levels
The basic levels of the guard are simply called Guards and Probies. These members are responsible for carrying out the duties given to them by superiors, along with managing the scenes they are called to. Probies are the newest recruits of the guard, and are undergoing on site training on both Ex-Isle and the mainland. After this training, they are promoted to Guards.
Members
| Name | Rank | Division | Notes | |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Miney | Chief | N/A | The 8th King of Lavasteam, Miney replaced most of the mainland guard with the Robosa, a decision he quickly regret. Miney also took a much more hands-off approach to the guard, letting the battalions and deputies do much of the work for him. | |
| Moe | Deputy Chief of Operations | N/A | Moe is the least active Deputy Chief, as Salem had tried to kill him during Miney's reign. However, after Salem left the village, Moe began to fulfill his duties, checking in on the mainland guard and the Ex-Isle guard more often. | |
| Key | Deputy Chief of Engineering | N/A | Similarly to Moe, Key is the least active Deputy Chief of Engineering, as Salem had tried to kill him during Miney's reign. However, Key had developed the Robosa, a huge step forward for Lavasteam's advancement. After Salem had left, Key continued to refine their design, along with developing tools for the guard in case Salem ever returned. | |
| Terra | Shift A Battalion Chief | Ex-Isle | Terra is one of the more ruthless Battalion Chiefs, taking the position after Kacha had been exiled. He treats the exiles as less than Raposa, cutting their serving sizes, ignoring how the exiles treat each other, among other cruel treatment. He also blindly follows Salem, who acted as Chief during his visit to Ex-Isle, causing the kidnapping of Robigo and Salem's attack on the island. | |
| Garmor | Shift B Battalion Chief | Ex-Isle | Not much is known about Garmor's time as a guard, as he was kidnapped and replaced by an Ameba early on in his service. After Salem's attack on the island, he was one of the many Raposa to be influenced by Allight. | |
| Zargon | Shift C Battalion Chief | Ex-Isle | Much like Garmor, not much is known about Zargon's service, as he was kidnapped and replaced by an Ameba. After Salem's attack, he was one of the many Raposa to be influenced by Allight. | |
| Mog | Captain | Ex-Isle | Mog was one of the few guard members to not be kidnapped and turned into an Ameba. He is very militant, taking his job very seriously, acting as a Battalion Chief when no one is looking. |
Former Members
| Name | Rank | Division | Notes | |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Letit Hallor | Chief | N/A | The 4th Queen of Lavasteam, Letit took a very hands-on approach to her role as Chief. She would accompany the guard to many of their arrests, speaking with the exiles directly, although when she fell ill, she allowed her son Miney to begin training to fill her role. | |
| Latries | Deputy Chief of Operations | N/A | Latries was promoted through the ranks to reach the role of Deputy Chief, although when her son, Byetts began to transition, she framed him for the death of LEtit. When her actions were discovered, she was dishonorably discharged from service, but not exiled. | |
| Kacha | Shift A Battalion Chief | Ex-Isle | In stark contrast to Terra, Kacha was one of the kindest Battalion Chiefs on Ex-Isle, although she still carried out her duties and wasn't afraid to stand up to exiles. She was exiled herself when she caught Byetts trying to escape the island and agreed to help him escape. The two of them were caught by Terra, causing them to both be exiled. |
