Professions are Cour des Miracle's co-ranks. They function the same way and are secondarily earned to your main rank in the pack. They are not necessary nor are you obligated to get them. They are only meant to be more specialization for your character to earn and fulfill a purpose in the pack! They are divided into the four rank tiers, as each applies best for a certain skill range.
Do you not see your desired profession or is your profession a little out of the ordinary? Let us know ahead of time if you would like to pursue a custom profession, and we will give you the go ahead if it's not encompassed within something else entirely.
All the professions are divided into thematic tiers to make it easier to browse for skill sets. By no mean do you need to stick to one type of profession. Threads for professions should revolve around the basic background for the co-rank. There is no limit on the number of people that may hold the same profession.
