I thought I would take a moment to reply to this, given that I am a member of Yatag, and each and every one of those comments does or has applied to Nako in the past, for the duration of his association and membership with the group.
Everybody is Second Lieutenant:
I never played Nako as a 2nd Lt because it was the highest I could go, instead, going with Nako's backstory and the organisation he was a part of, it was initially an 'equivalent rank' that he was able to call upon to requisition support from the hall when it was needed. At that same mark, he had no direct authority over anyone, and if he was assigned to help out in any manner, he followed the Chain of Command of that group.
Uniform? What uniform?:
Nako was primarily an inteligence operative. Now, I don't know about you, but being behind enemy lines, wearing the uniform of the organisation you work for, sounds like a bad idea to me. And again, he was not a member of the Flames directly, so it would be disrespectful of him to wear their uniform. However, after joining the unit, he wore the uniform when he was on duty, and it was required of him.
Weekend Warriors:
I would like to think that this is the one part of it that doesn't apply to Nako. My RP has kept me pretty firmly within Thanalan, beyond the occasional forray into the other areas, but they were always a rarity. And the majority of my RP has been related, in some way back to his membership/relationship with the flames, dependant on which part of his arc we are refering to.
Special Commando:
Perhaps probably the most pointed thing here, Nako being a member of a special organisation, but at the same time, there was no shirking of accountability, if he did something, and got involved in something with consequences, then damn I'll take it. I personally feel that if there is no risk of consequence then there is little point in doing it beyond a filler activity. and your point regarding the number of special commandos, i guess the thing to take into account is that the PC's are in fact the minority within the game.
