+# Role and Class Model
+
+## Roles and affiliations
+
+A running game has one Tyrant and, when an eligible player is available, one Vigilante. The Vigilante may recruit Followers through invitations that require acceptance. The Tyrant may assign the Assassin, Fixer, and Tamer classes after unlocking them.
+
+Role alignment and Tyrant-side class are independent. A Vigilante or Follower may simultaneously hold one Tyrant-side class, allowing divided loyalties. A player cannot simultaneously be the Tyrant, Vigilante, and/or a Follower, and cannot hold more than one Tyrant-side class. Each Tyrant-side class may be assigned to only one player at a time. Opted-out players are ineligible for every assignment.
+
+## Tyrant progression
+
+The Tyrant starts each reign at level zero with one starting unlock choice. Personally killing the Vigilante grants one level and one additional choice. Each of these unlocks can be purchased once per reign:
+
+- Assassin class
+- Fixer class
+- Tamer class
+- Vigilante roster intelligence
+- Permanent Resistance
+- Permanent Strength
+
+## Proximity
+
+Unless a more specific rule applies, "near the Tyrant" means in the same world and within a configurable 50-block three-dimensional distance.
+
+## Effect safety
+
+Vigilante Follower scaling is capped by default at Strength V and Resistance IV, with validated configurable caps. Permanent and conditional class effects are reapplied after ordinary Minecraft removal while the game is running and the assignment remains valid.
