Last thing you will encounter before getting to the actual story. Do not skip this page, as it will be helpful in your understanding of the book.

Teams in these schools consist of 13 people,

The Alpha, one person- The leader of the team, also picks the majority of their teammates, they make the call and can choose to be on any position in the team during game play, armed with any of the provided weapons except a paintball gun.

The Foxtrot, one person- The second in command, helps to form plans for the team, if the Alpha is missing, the Foxtrot takes over becoming the leader for set time, can join other positions in the team during game play, armed with any of the provided weapons except paintball gun.

The Sniper, one person- In charge of taking out players in the opposing team from afar, is armed with a paintball gun loaded with paint the color or colors, of their team.

The Shadows, three people- The guards of their teams flag, carefully placed, hidden away, armed with normal game weapons.

The Hunters, four people- Attackers of the team, distractions to the Hunters of the other team to get their teams Inspectors through, armed with normal game weapons.

The Inspectors, two people- They are sent out after given the word by the Alpha or Foxtrot to search for the other teams flag, their only defense is a shield, they have three goals, find the flag, don't get caught, report back to the Alpha and Retrievie.

The Retrievie, one person- Responsible for getting the other teams flag back to their base after being scouted out by the Inspectors, is armed with shield and a wooden sword.

The players in these positions can either change constantly or always be the same, this all depends on what the Alpha and the rest of the team decide on together. Teams can be made up of all boys, all girls or a mix, all depends on the Alpha. How the Alpha is picked is a different story for another time.

Teams are normally named after a creature or an animal to identify with, along with at least one colour. An example would be Team Cougar, or Team Centeur, something like that. The name and colour, or colours are picked by the team when they arrive at the school.

When you join the school and are given/selected a team, the majority of the team will stick together for the rest of their time there. Teams may be incomplete from players leaving the school, or requesting to switch, which is rare as teams are created/chosen carefully.

Normally during a practice game or an actual battle, three teams play at once.

~*~*~*~

The armory only has a couple weapons to choose from, the most popular being the staffs, made out of wood with customized designs engraved onto them. Then there's the paintball gun which is the weapon of the Sniper. Wooden swords, also available with customized designs. Bow and arrows are not a weapon that you can pick from the start, they are given to you as a reward and to show progress. Different materials used in the arrows show the stages and time that the user has had them and how hard they worked to earn them, they are seen and used mostly by the Shadows and the Alpha. Shields and light armor is the only defense to all members of a team.
