Ranking System

The Blogosphere in its story eventually fleshed out a system of ranks for its proxies. While other sources traditionally only had one or two proxies, the blogosphere went through a period where runners would be hunted by large packs of proxies. This lead to criticisms claiming that the proxies took the focus away from the Keeper itself, and that the proxy hordes made the stories too much resemble a zombie apocalypse fiction. Some blogs made efforts to retcon proxy hordes away as hallucinations.

The ranking system is as follows:

Hallowed - Mindless puppets created by The Keeper for the harassment of runners, with no other purpose.

Berserkers - Most closely resembling the traditional perception of proxies, workers to the Keeper, but with enough of their own will left to have superior problem solving and tactics.

Sleepers - Have their original personalities kept intact, and are left unaware of their status of proxies.

Agents - Not proxies in the traditional sense; Agents appear to be the Blogo sphere's interpretation of cultists.

Revenants - Proxies with super-strength and regenerative abilities granted to them by The Keeper. Eventually became unpopular with bloggers and were retconned away as hallucinations.

Larks - Proxies that serve a purpose for one single target and one single target only.
