Amenrian Noble Families are sociopolitical factions in the Empire of Amenria. There are two types of Noble Families; The Major Noble Families and the Minor Noble Families which are subsidiaries under the Majors. Unlike nobles in many countries, not all members of Amenrian nobility gain their status through marriage and birthright. Merely working for a Noble Family makes one legally a Noble, and thus eligible to receive benefits of such, as well as bear the responsibilities that come with the position.

Ranks

There are five ranks within Noble Families. The Leaders, usually called Patriarchs if male and Matriarchs if female, are the highest authority of every Noble Family, answering only to the Patriarch of the Major if Leader of a Minor and the Heavenly Emperor if Leader of a Major.

Advisors are the second in command of Leaders. Leaders of Minors are Advisors of Majors. Should the Leader die, go off-universe, or otherwise become unavailable, Advisors could take their Leaders' place until a new Leader arises, or until the original Leader can return to his/her post.

Heirs are those who will become Leaders themselves once their Leader dies and if they fulfill certain conditions that vary by Family. Heirs are often children of the Leader, although this is not always the case.

Barons and Baronesses are the middle management personnel, serving as a bridge between the Families they serve and the general public.

Associates are at the bottom of their respective Families, responsible for day-to-day operations, which, depending on the Family, could mean waiting tables, going on patrols, and other relatively menial tasks.

In Legislature

Major Families

The Major Families are eight (secretly nine) factions that have their own civic functions, ideologies, colour combinations and positions in the parliament. Two of these factions, the Ministry of Religion and the National Defence Conglomerate, are Honorary Noble Families - organizations that are treated as Noble Families despite having different structures.

Minor Families

Minor Families, also known as Subsidiaries, are smaller units within Major Families, often dedicated towards a specific jurisdiction, such as the Prism Foundation being the Angelheart's spiritual R&D department and the Public Security Department being what is essentially its armed wing. It is not uncommon for two or more Minor Families to be merged under it's leader's discretion or that of their Major's due to overlapping functions, a lack of personnel, the death of a leader, other reasons, or a combination of previously mentioned reasons. Conversely, Minor Families can also be split.

Aces and Champions

Aces

Aces are specialised combatants under Noble Families trained for specific purposes as opposed to the more general purpose of security other combatants are trained for. The specific purposes, as well as fighting styles, differ by Family and reflects their ideologies, civic functions, and/or philosophies.
