Revision as of 03:53, May 15, 2024
C-Rank is the lowest tier of Border's combat personnel.[1][2] C-Rank agents are trainees[1][2]
Role
They originally couldn't use their triggers outside of Border HQ[3], but can now use it to help out with evacuations.[4] C-Rank trainees are not paid due to their status[5], but trainees can receive awards for special contributions.[6]
Due to their status, C-Ranks are not given Strategy Room.[7] It is unknown if C-Rank agents can customize their triggers like official agents.[8]
Joining
There are two ways to become a C-Rank agent, the primarily method is through the enlistment exam[9][1][10] which consists of a basic physical and academic test as well as a interview.[9][1][10] Other than low Trion levels or a criminal record the person won't be rejected.[9][10]
the second method is being scouted by Border[10] or by an A-Rank agent in another prefecture.[10] which the recruit could be exempted from taking the exam, and could even choose where to be assigned.[10]
After passing the enlistment exam, border's judges choose the position and trigger each C-Rank agent will start out with[11], however the agent can change to a different trigger or position whenever they like.[11]
When border's enlistment day happens all new recruits become a C-Rank agent.[12]
Under normal conditions, the ceremony happens 3 times a year[12] or every 4 months.[13] Before the enlistment ceremony, each new recruit has to do a provisional enlistment[14][15] in each more talented people will have extra points in comparison to others.[14][15]
After the press conference on January 27th the amount of applications made it so Border has to do an enlistment ceremony every month.[13] Additionally the recruits aren't able to do the provisional enlistment[15] which also makes it so no one can get extra points through the enlistment.[15] Instead a quick skill test will be done[15] where the C-Rank agents will be separated into groups of 5 where they fight everyone else[16], and receive 120 points for every enemy the agent takes down.[16] This continues until each agent has done 4 matches.[16]
Promotion
To become B-Rank, a C-Rank trainee must reach 4,000 points with their Trigger.[17][18] Snipers are special due to their consistent training regimen, and they can be promoted if they manage to stay in the top 15% for three weeks in a row.[19]
The only known way for an official agent to be demoted to C-Rank if their points hit below 1,500[20], currently no one has ever been demoted through this method.[20]
It is possible for a C-Rank agent to request a transfer to being an Engineer[21][22] or Operator[23][22] or apply as one from the beginning[21][23]
Squads
C-Ranks seemingly can't make squads as the only known C-Rank squad is unregistered[24], and how the squad creation process only mentions B-rank and above agents.[25]
Emblem
C-Rank trainees all share the same emblem, which has the letter C and 3 dots.
Trivia
- C-Rank agents are not told about Trion[26], but seem to hear about it.[26]
- When Chika was a C-Rank agent at Tamakoma Branch, she was given a Tamakoma trigger that had all three sniper rifles, and bagworm.[27]

Daisuke Ashihara: Q: Do Border agents get paid?
A: I might show it one day, but yes, agents do get paid. B-Rank Agents get a fee per Trion Soldier they defeat. A-Rank Agents have a salary + fee per Trion Soldier. C-Rank Trainees do not get paid.

Daisuke Ashihara: Q: Kumagai's Kogetsu has a guard, can the design of any part that isn't the blade be freely changed?
A: Consult with the Engineers, and it can be freely changed to an extent. Kumagai blocks with her sword a lot, so a guard was attached to protect her hands.

Daisuke Ashihara: Q: Are there any requirements, like fitness tests, for applying to Border?
A: There are basic fitness tests, basic achievement tests, and an interview. Other than having low Trion levels or a criminal record, you won't get rejected (Osamu was nearly rejected).

Daisuke Ashihara: Q: When do Border's Trainees choose their position and weapon? Which is given priority, what they want or what suits them?
A: Border judges their aptitude from the results of the enlistment exam, and decides the trigger they use and position. Agents start with that trigger, but can change to a different trigger or position whenever they like.

Daisuke Ashihara: Q: After Attackers or Gunners amassed 4,000 points and rose to B-rank, are they demoted back to C-rank if they fall below 4,000 points in Rank Wars?
A: They aren't demoted if they fall below 4,000, but regulations say if any of their triggers ever fall below 1,500 they will be demoted and removed from their team. But there has yet to be an agent who was demoted to C-rank due to this regulation.

Daisuke Ashihara: Q: What do you need to do to become an Engineer?
A: There are two ways: request to become an Engineer when enlisting, or request to transfer after enlisting.

Daisuke Ashihara: Q: How are Squads formed?
A: There are cases where B-rank agents with more than 4,000 points come together and form a squad, or cases where the squad breaks up and the now free B-rank or higher agents find members and re-form a squad. In either case, if the signatures of all the members are gathered on the regulation paperwork and handed in, they are accepted on that very day. It's the same when agents withdraw from a squad or gets added to one.

Daisuke Ashihara: Q: Is the concept of Trion not made public?
A: It is only made known to those who are B-rank or above, but even C-rank agents seem to hear about it somehow or other. There are also many corporations within Border's sponsors who are interested in Trion technology, so people like those and officials of Mikado City that Border coordinates with receive an explanation to some extent.

Daisuke Ashihara: Q: C-Rank Members are only supposed to have one weapon Trigger, but why did Chika train with a Bagworm on at Tamakoma?
A: That was a Tamakoma Trigger that Reiji provided to drive the foundations of sniping into her. It is set with the three types of sniper rifles and Bagworm.
