TITLES
In the supernatural world nicknames and aliases describing them are commonplace if the one attached to it is somewhat known widely in society. Within the Martial Forest Coalition, titles have a bigger weight for all the prestige it bestows and that honor is a big thing in their society. There a few known titles such as the Ten Sages and even the Four Supernovas. Both are titles that denotes a mastery of their respective arts and for fulfilling some sort of requirement. Those below are such titles.
Coalition Chief: The head of the Coalition. They are democratically voted in by representing styles of each country. It goes without saying that the Chief is a formidable Artist him/herself and has quite a bit of political power. However, the Chief must be careful not to anger any of the styles in order to keep his/her position. Of course, many of the styles are fickle which makes this role a difficult one while working with other foreign factions.
Ten Sages: Ten Grandmasters chosen and seen as the ten mightiest Artists of the whole Coalition. They don't necessarily have any form of political power since this title is merely an honorary title. Nevertheless, many Artists take these Masters seriously. The presence of one Sage alone could still be formidable enough to upset the political climate.
Four Supernovas: A set of titles from Japan. The Four Supernovas are titles comprised of: Northern Black Star, Southern Red Star, Western White Star, and Eastern Blue Star. These are the titles bestowed on the four competent masters meant to protect the Emperor of Japan. It is to no surprise that it bestows much prestige on the title holders and their respective schools.
