Chief Consummable

The world of Nycos has its dangers, and there are those who will step into the breach, hold their position, and sell their lives dearly to protect their country, community, and family. Such is NOT the Consumables (emphasis on the first syllable). Unlike the usual city Constables, who are indeed paramilitary peace-keepers in small towns and villages, the Consumables are they whom the city leadership determined to be at least worthy of some reward, should they be successful in eliminating a monstrous being or raiding nuisances that operate beyond the normal boundaries of the duties of a policing force.   They earn the name Consumable, merely because, should they fail, they will most likely become fodder for the monster or the raiders, hence, they might be consumed.
The Chief Consumable, however, is a title and rank that at least earns some respect, and certainly is considerably more of a force to be reckoned with than the rank-and-file Consumable. To earn this higher place, the Consumable must survive and succeed in three tasks. The first is they must face the danger at the head of a unit of Consumables numbering six or more members. This demonstrates his leadership, or at least he can get more than a handful of folks to listen to them. Second, they have to survive an encounter with a deadly beast or dangerous enemy, live to tell the tale, and have others survive who will confirm the engagement. This demonstrates his bravery, or at least his capacity to resist the urge to run away in front of witnesses. Finally, the would-be Chief Consumable has to be able to provide proof that the monster is dead, or that the nuisance has been eliminated. This demonstrates his effectiveness at the task of getting rid of the monsters, or at least means the town doesn't have to pay him any more.
