Night Rulers

The forces of darkness are mine to command! ...oh, Oh, you weren't supposed to hear that. How long have you been standing there?

A title that is every delusional middle schooler's dream, the Night Ruler is the highest-ranked authority of Nightwings.
They command forces more than capable of laying waste to nations, should they deem it necessary. That being said, they must have shown enough restraight to never even consider such a course of action.

Requirements

• One must hold the rank of Reaper to be considered for the role.
• Must have been with Nightwings for at least 2 years.
• At least one of the five Ruler positions must be vacant or openly contested

Appointment

Once an opening is available, the Reapers, as well as the other Night Rulers may vote for someone to take the vacant spot(s). Reapers may not vote for themselves.
The vote may be skipped if all remaining Night Rulers agree on a candidate(s).
After being chosen, the newly selected member is led down a dark hallway to a really creepy room where all of the Rules are gathered, standing under lights against the backdrop of the dark room. Honestly its pretty extra and cringe. Most people would rather die or kill you than have to explain the entire thing.

Duties

• Target selection
• Planning/determining the means of high-profile target removal
• Oversee disciplinary hearings for agents
• Selecting new Reapers

Responsibilities

• Keeping humanity away from a course of self-annihilation
• Maintaining morale among agency personnel
• Ensuring that everyone's mental well-being is taken care of
• Bringing doughnuts to whichever location they currently occupy at least once monthly. (you'd be surprised how much free food keeps people from wanting to end your existence)

Benefits

• A 'badass' title (that is utterly useless outside of the agency, cuz who would take someone calling themselves the "Night Ruler" seriously anywhere else?)
• Membership to the "Nightwatch"
• Private office.
• A fully custom, tailor-made outfit that may or may not look like something a villain would wear.
• All vending machines worldwide are free.
• If they have the technical skill, super user access to just about every software system (excluding nuclear weapon systems)
• Occasionally having heads of state on speed dial. (No, it is not supposed to happen, but it's a pretty hard flex when you can casually call the king or queen of England or something like that).

Accoutrements & Equipment

• A custom ceremonial scythe - not great in a zombie apocalypse, looks shiny
• A custom battle scythe - still not great in a zombie apocalypse, but better. Less shiny, more slice-y
• A custom weapon of choice - this is likely going to be the thing you'd want to use in a zombie apocalypse, not that we're planning to start one or anything.
• A black mantle/cloak - you have to look the part sometimes... ya know?
• Omnisuit MK V - you can become that crime fighting vigilante that you always wanted!
• Gloves that look like boney hands (optional, though most who have held the position go for them)
• A skull mask (same as the gloves, optional)

Grounds for Removal/Dismissal

• They die (naturally of course)
• They are killed (...occupational hazard...?)
• They retire
• A 65% majority of Reapers deems them unfit for the role and votes them out (and they step down willingly... otherwise see #2)

Cultural Significance

A title of an agency that officially doesn't exist has no cultural significance. That being said, it is an aspiration of middle schoolers worldwide, even if they don't know that such a title actually exists.

Notable Holders

....for your safety, we will pretend you do not wish to know who the title holders are... Actually, pretend you don't know about the title... Nothing to see here, move along...

Creation

This rank was created when the agency was formed
