You can be nobility without being royalty, and I would strongly encourage anyone not to give their character a royal bloodline, because that's verging too far into special snowflake territory for most people's liking. As Yssen mentioned, the titles seem to be focused on your character's role within the Empire itself rather than their lineage. Basically, your title tells what you character can do for the Empire. Garlemald is very focused on their military and the progress of their country. So for choosing your character's title, I'd recommend just figuring out what job your character would actually hold within Garlemald. In the event he just sits around as the heir to a noble family, I'd imagine he would not have a high title or much respect, because with what we know of Garlemald, I would not be surprised if they value military success and aiding Garlemald more highly than anyone's heredity.
Ah, this answers everything perfectly for me. XD Of course the discussion helps as well, but I wanted to be sure I wasnt accidently stepping too far with that rank. It appears I was, so it wont be a rank Ill be using. I always like to be certain of my lore before diving in.
It just appeared to me that wir would be the title for /nobles/ and royalty, but that appears not to be the case. Thank you Faye!Edit: Reading into some of the roman definitions of the ranks, I think /tol/ might be what I am looking for. I am aiming for Lucius to be a young man of nobility, has a rich family, etc. Kind of like a batman character that uses magitek devices and spying. For a lack of better comparison.
"The post was created by the Marian reforms. Its holder stood just below the legatus legionis, the legion's commander, and above the other five tribuni angusticlavii (and later the praefectus castrorum). The position was the first step of the traditional cursus honorum, the formalized sequence of public offices held by Roman nobles of the senatorial class (conversely, the tribuni angusticlavii were knights). Thus the tribunus laticlavius would usually be a young man who might belong to one of the richest families in Rome or be a close friend to the legionary commander. After two or three years in the army he would go back to Rome and be given a government job, usually a quaestorship." - Wikipedia
