I'm a bit late talking on the subject, but I seem to remember some of
the posts brought up a list along the lines of:
outlaw
ruler
soldier
[etc - for brevity]
This of course, brought up the stuff of Whether a soldier was in a
standing army, or perhaps a strong arm for hire, etc.
Now, this idea isnt entirely fleshed out, I just thought I'd try
to lend my dubious creativity to the pool...
What about (That system could cover everything but would have to be
really long) something that breaks it down to perhaps two categories
Such as...
Caste / Skillset
[not the best choice of words]
Something like..
Social Class [and] Career
Social Classes would be like:
outlaw, nobility, commoner,untouchable[Cant imagine this in a lego
society etc though.. :)], etc
And Career/Class/etc would be like
Ruler [as in the ruler of a nation, town, burg, etc]
Warrior
Academic/Sage
Priest/Religious figure
etc
Now, this is a little weak without a suitable list, but I think it could
be potentially done interestingly -
With the single "class" or classification system, You
Wouldnt know anything about a person much by him being a "Ruler"
but Outlaw - Ruler would be the category of a bandit kind, etc.
Wizard under Outlaw would be something like Necromancer or some other
such 'unclean' fellow.
Etc.
Ok, I know it's a little weak, but I think there are some merits to it,
perhaps. If there is neet of a system of categorization at all
(This, I think , would be useful mostly if there was to ever be
any sort of database, etc.)
That is, if someone wanted to find out how many members of Royalty were
around in a kingdom, which is likely an entirely different number of
people from how many RULERS there are at any one time, etc, etc.
