Nobody knows, aside from the Game Masters themselves, what is the exact number of Soldiers in service in the Mazes, but a rough estimate mentions that there are somewhere around 3700 soldiers in fourteen Barracks plus the [[Mission A8|Main Barracks]], with the Main Barracks being approximately 4 times larger than a standard one.<br />

Because the job of Maze Soldier is particularly dangerous, they are paid on a day-to-day basis, depending on their rank and branch. The base pay of a normal Maze Soldier is '''150 P$/day'''. A DF Soldier is paid '''200 P$/day'''. Sergeants are paid twice the base pay, Lieutenants three times, and Captains four times.
 
Maze Soldiers are declined in several variants and ranks.

The Death Faction is considered the elite of the Maze Soldiers. Considered a separate branch despite doing essentially the same job, they wear different clothing and armor, and are typically sent in more dangerous situations, or in cases needing faster and higher firepower. Death Faction soldiers are typically composed of the best recruits after training, who are recommended to join the DF rather than the regular forces.

Revision as of 19:46, 11 July 2013

A Maze Soldier is a member of the Maze Personnel and of the Mazes' military forces, as well as an iconic, almost ubiquitous inhabitant of Mazeworld. The tasks of a Maze Soldier are various, but the general idea is that they are the armed forces of Mazeworld (or more specifically, the Game Masters') and are here to defend it from menaces, monsters on the loose, renegades, and particularly, contestants.

Soldiers are known for their violent and authoritarian nature, ruling the Mazes with an iron fist and not afraid to demonstrate their power to other inhabitants. Feared and hated, only fellow Maze Personnel members tolerate their presence, and are sometimes challenged by Citizens which they have no qualms attacking if they deem being a threat.
Although such relationships compare not to the old and violent feud they have with youkai, as they are usually the first humans to attack or be attacked by the most active or violent youkai.

The usual tasks of a Soldier include guarding specific rooms, "population control" (killing members of a particular species if their numbers grow too high, as seen in Mission 2), searching for and hunting down creatures deemed to be a threat to Mazeworld, such as active and/or armed youkai, renegade or dangerous inhabitants, strong creatures causing chaos, and particularly and most importantly, contestants. It must be noted that a Soldier usually knows contestants by name, but not by physical appearance. If a Soldier interrogates the contestant, and the latter reveals his/her real name, a Soldier is supposed not to think any further, and attack immediately.

Maze Soldiers are formed and trained in an area revealed in Mission A8, dubbed the Main Barracks, which is essentially a major stronghold composed of select rooms, and guarded by Soldiers of all kinds, all of them carrying personally funded equipment.
Nobody knows, aside from the Game Masters themselves, what is the exact number of Soldiers in service in the Mazes, but a rough estimate mentions that there are somewhere around 3700 soldiers in fourteen Barracks plus the Main Barracks, with the Main Barracks being approximately 4 times larger than a standard one.
It has been estimated that roughly one third of all Soldiers are Death Faction members.

Maze Soldiers are declined in several variants and ranks.

Death Faction

The Death Faction is considered the elite of the Maze Soldiers. Considered a separate branch despite doing essentially the same job, they wear different clothing and armor, and are typically sent in more dangerous situations, or in cases needing faster and higher firepower. Death Faction soldiers are typically composed of the best recruits after training, who are recommended to join the DF rather than the regular forces.

Maze Snipers

  • The Maze Sniper is another Soldier variant. They enjoy a special status as they are specialized (as the name implies) in the use of sniper rifles and designated marksman rifles. Despite wearing the uniform of regular Maze Soldiers, they serve in both the regular and Death Faction branches. They are, hierarchy wise, considered to be Privates, but are paid a fixed salary of 300 P$/day in exchange. It is possible for Maze Snipers to rank up and become Sergeants and so on, though doing so means integrating either faction officially, and giving up their special Sniper gear for that of higher rank officers. Despite the officially low rank, Snipers are feared and respected figures in the Mazes.

Pay grades

  • The base pay (perceived by Privates) is 150 P$/day.
  • A Sergeant receives a pay of 300 P$/day.
  • A Lieutenant receives a pay of 450 P$/day.
  • A Captain receives a pay of 600 P$/day.
  • A Maze Sniper receives a pay of 300 P$/day.
  • A Death Faction Private receives 200 P$/day.
  • A Death Faction Sergeant receives 400 P$/day.
  • A Death Faction Lieutenant receives 600 P$/day.
  • A Death Faction Captain receives 800 P$/day.

Famous Maze Soldiers

Disguise

A contestant can disguise as a Maze Soldier or a DF Soldier if the following conditions are met:

  • Wearing only the clothes of a Maze Soldier or a DF Soldier (any body armor is tolerated, at the exception of the HEV Suit which hides the clothes)
  • Carrying a firearm of some kind is mandatory - an unarmed Maze Soldier is suspicious, and are not issued melee weapons (other than the Captains' KA-BAR)

Effects of the disguise:

  • Fellow Maze Soldiers, DF Soldiers (+all variants) become peaceful to the contestant
  • Maze Guards (+all variants) are all peaceful to the contestant
  • All other members of the Maze Personnel become neutral to the contestant (+ applicable perverted variants)
  • All humans that aren't Maze Personnel become afraid of the contestant
  • All youkai turn hostile towards the contestant
  • All other creatures are unaffected.
