The Revenge of the White Wolves// A Wolf Roleplay (CLOSED)

Ranks

These are the ranks of the typical wolf pack, in order from most to least authority. Every rank can be challenged for their position(more info on that later.)

Alpha Pair: The rulers of the pack, the alphas are usually the strongest fighters and the best hunters the pack has to offer. The Alpha pair are usually the only wolves that are able to have pups, and the Alpha female's main responsibility is feeding them when they're very young. The Alpha male's main responsibility is defending the borders and the pack from threats. They and their young eat first.

Beta Pair: The second-in-commands, the betas are usually the best hunters and fighters after the alphas. The betas role is to enforce the will of the alpha and help them maintain control of the rest of the pack. If they do a good job, or the alpha pair is sterile, the beta pair will sometimes be allowed to have pups. They and their young eat second.

Shamans: The Shaman and their apprentice serve as spiritual advisers and healers to the alpha. The Shaman exists to make sure every pack follows the will of the Gods. They gather herbs in order to heal the injuries of their packmates. Although they are forbidden from hunting, if necessary they can use extremely powerful environmental magic that corresponds to their pack. They and their apprentice eat third.

Gammas: Wolves older than nine cycles(years) become Gammas. These wise and ancient wolves are storytellers who assist the Shaman by ensuring that Pack Law is being followed by their pack mates. Gammas also preserve history by passing down old stories to the next generation and memorizing new ones. They eat fourth.

Deltas: These wolves are in the middle of the pecking order. Their primary responsibility is to obey the alphas and betas while helping them hunt and protect the territory. Usually most wolves in the pack belong to this category. They eat fifth.

Epsilons: These wolves are pups who have grown up but are not yet ready to fully enter the pack. They become Epsilon at 6 moons old and adults at 12. Their main task is to learn from the other wolves on how to hunt and fight. They tend to be the most rebellious group. When they become full adults, they can choose to challenge a Delta for their position, become Omegas or become lone wolves. They eat sixth.

Omegas: These are the lowest ranking wolves in the pack. Their job is to hunt small prey for puppies and to help care for them, as well as running errands for the Shaman. Their other job is to entertain the other pack members with tricks and other performances. They tend to be picked on by the other wolves and are usually skinny and weak from eating last.

Pups: Pups are somewhat outside pack hierarchy at first, as their place has more to do with that of their parents. Alpha pups eat before anyone else in the clan, and Beta pups eat before their parents. The pups don't really have any job, they are just supposed to enjoy growing up. Pups older than four moons old are brought on hunts and taught how to kill small animals.

Special Ranks:(These ranks belong to the Pack of Ice, Spirit, Lightning, and the Pack of the Mountains.)

Pack of Lightning:

High Alpha: The High Alpha is the ruler of the valley. He is descended from a long line of black wolves that have reigned for generations. The High Alpha is in charge of the other three Alphas, and it is his responsibility to mediate any conflicts and make sure they are following Pack Law. The High Alpha can only legally be challenged by his own firstborn son, and only that son can inherit his power. Eats first after Royal pups.

Augur: The Augur, also known as the High Shamaness, is the firstborn sister of the High Alpha and the leader of the other Shamans. They report to her and she works to make sure that the will of the Gods is being respected by the other packs and shamans. She offers the High Alpha her spiritual counsel, healing and the protection of her fearsome lightning elemental magic. Eats after the Royal Pups.
