Long Patrol Uniforms
The Long Patrol is broken down into several ranks and positions. Thus, it is understandable that there needs to be an IC means of distinguishing these individuals. The following uniform descs should be incorporated into Long Patrol characters' descriptions.
Fighter
The uniform of a Long Patrol fighter-hare is quite basic. It consists of a leafy green tunic that is quite thick. It seems to be designed so that it keeps out the cold but can also have the sleeves quickly removed, allowing for it to be altered to suit the situation. The pants that go with the tunic are a dark, earthy brown, the mud and dirt does not discolour them and they are lightweight, designed with the marching hare in mind. A black belt surrounds the top of the pants, going over the tunic to that the uniform is tightly fitting and yet the wearer can still move about with ease. Both trousers and tunic are densely populated with pockets of various sizes, each one the correct size for containing a certain handy tool. The arms and shoulders of the tunic bump slightly, from the looks of it there are hardened pads under the material, for light protection. This uniform carries a small Long Patrol insignia sown into the front pocket, and a black badge on either shoulder. Each badge shows a single white line, perhaps the most basic rank, showing this hare to be a fighter.
Runner
The uniform of a Long Patrol runner-hare is quite basic. It consists of a leafy green tunic that is quite thick. It seems to be designed so that it keeps out the cold but can also have the sleeves quickly removed, allowing for it to be altered to suit the situation. The pants that go with the tunic are a dark, earthy brown, the mud and dirt does not discolour them and they are lightweight, designed with the marching hare in mind. A black belt surrounds the top of the pants, going over the tunic to that the uniform is tightly fitting and yet the wearer can still move about with ease. Both trousers and tunic are densely populated with pockets of various sizes, each one the correct size for containing a certain handy tool. The arms and shoulders of the tunic bump slightly, from the looks of it there are hardened pads under the material, for light protection. This uniform carries a small Long Patrol insignia sown into the front pocket, and a black badge on either shoulder. Each badge shows a white square, perhaps a symbol showing this hare to be a runner.
Healer
The uniform of a Long Patrol healer-hare is quite basic. It consists of a leafy green tunic that is quite thick. It seems to be designed so that it keeps out the cold but can also have the sleeves quickly removed, allowing for it to be altered to suit the situation. There is a white band around both sleeves; each has a small black cross on it. The pants that go with the tunic are a dark, earthy brown, the mud and dirt does not discolour them and they are lightweight, designed with the marching hare in mind. A black belt surrounds the top of the pants, going over the tunic to that the uniform is tightly fitting and yet the wearer can still move about with ease. Both trousers and tunic are densely populated with pockets of various sizes, each one the correct size for containing a certain handy tool. The arms and shoulders of the tunic bump slightly, from the looks of it there are hardened pads under the material, for light protection. This uniform carries a small Long Patrol insignia sown into the front pocket, and a black badge on either shoulder. Each badge shows a white cross, you can guess that this shows the rank of Healer.
Lieutenant
This hare appears to be some sort of officer, wearing a slightly different uniform than that of a Long Patrol Fighter-hare. It consists of a leafy green tunic that is quite thick. It seems to be designed so that it keeps out the cold but can also have the sleeves quickly removed, allowing for it to be altered to suit the situation. The pants that go with the tunic are a dark, earthy brown, the mud and dirt does not discolour them and they are lightweight, designed with the marching hare in mind. A black belt surrounds the top of the pants, going over the tunic to that the uniform is tightly fitting and yet the wearer can still move about with ease. The belt is fronted by a shiny metal buckle, upon which a small Long Patrol insignia is engraved. Both trousers and tunic are densely populated with pockets of various sizes, each one the correct size for containing a certain handy tool. The arms and shoulders of the tunic bump slightly, from the looks of it there are hardened pads under the material, for light protection. This uniform carries a small Long Patrol symbol sown into the front pocket, and a black badge on either shoulder. The badge shows two white lines running parallel; this is the sign of Long Patrol lieutenant and thus signifies this hare to be one of the Long Patrol officers.
Major
This hare appears to be some sort of officer, wearing a slightly different uniform than that of a Long Patrol Fighter-hare. It consists of a leafy green tunic that is quite thick. It seems to be designed so that it keeps out the cold but can also have the sleeves quickly removed, allowing for it to be altered to suit the situation. The pants that go with the tunic are a dark, earthy brown, the mud and dirt does not discolour them and they are lightweight, designed with the marching hare in mind. A black belt surrounds the top of the pants, going over the tunic to that the uniform is tightly fitting and yet the wearer can still move about with ease. The belt is fronted by a shiny silver buckle, upon which a small Long Patrol insignia is engraved. Both trousers and tunic are densely populated with pockets of various sizes, each one the correct size for containing a certain handy tool. The arms and shoulders of the tunic bump slightly, from the looks of it there are hardened pads under the material, for light protection. This uniform carries a small Long Patrol symbol sown into the front pocket, and a black badge on either shoulder. Underneath the pocket hangs a small medal, seemingly the only decoration the officers are allowed to wear. This medal shows an ornately carved pair of crossed swords with some sort of scene behind it. The black badges show a white arrow, each side pointing up towards the hare’s neck; this is the sign of a Long Patrol major and thus signifies this hare to be one of the slightly more important Long Patrol officers.
Colonel
This hare appears to be some sort of important officer, wearing a slightly different uniform than that of a Long Patrol Fighter-hare. It consists of a leafy green tunic that is quite thick. It seems to be designed so that it keeps out the cold but can also have the sleeves quickly removed, allowing for it to be altered to suit the situation.

Hanging by the hare’s left leg is an ornate sword sheath, containing a well-made sword, obviously badger-forged by its quality. Both trousers and tunic are densely populated with pockets of various sizes, each one the correct size for containing a certain handy tool. The arms and shoulders of the tunic bump slightly, from the looks of it there are hardened pads under the material, for light protection.
