Note: These are only suggestions as of right now. Every new Alpha can make the decision on what positions to have in his or her pack and how they are filled. Since we don't have a pack yet, all wolves are loners. If multiple packs form, they will be added in separate categories here and placed in order of pack formation.
Alpha male:: None
Alpha Female:: None
Beta male:: None
Beta female:: None
Guardians:: None
Mercenaries:: None
Members:: None
Omegas:: None
Loners:: Derik, Agna & Kobo, Ivy, Devereux, Elysia, Ke'Kiya
Rogues:: None
-Descriptions-
Alpha's are the leaders of the pack. They have full control over every member without question; they make the rules and what positions the pack will have. They assign Beta's who would succeed them if they were to die, and must approve the Beta's decision for who becomes a guardian or mercenary. They get the best portions of every kill, and can determine the fate of a pack and it's individual members. They decide if a mating pair can breed, or if the Alpha pair themselves are the only ones allowed pups. This is the most sought-after position and must be fought for, and can often times be challenged.
The Beta's are the Alpha's second-hand mates. They are chosen by whoever the current Alpha is, for they would succeed them if the Alpha's were to die. If a new Alpha pair take control, a Beta's position is then determined by the new Alpha's. They keep a close eye on the pack, and have authority while the Alpha's are gone. Their words have a high impact on an Alpha's decision-making process. The Beta's also chose which wolves shall become guardians and mercenaries, but their decisions must be approved by the Alpha's.
Guardian's are the pack's caretakers. With the recent change in species, the Guardian's would know best about all herbs and poisons to care for or help the pack. They are often respected for their compassion towards the pack. They are responsible for care over the sick and old, and tending to pups while their parents are busy. They are the only members trusted with the care of the Alpha's pups. They are chosen by the Beta.
Mercenaries are the army of the pack. They come in two forms: assassins and warriors. Assassins are the swift wolves with silent steps. They help the pack by being scouts for finding trouble across the territory, and also aid in tactical sneak-attacks if necessary. Warriors are the pack's main punch, they are the fighting force behind the pack. A warrior is typically brutish in form. They are well respected for their ability to be awarded this rank by a Beta.
Members are wolves who make up the bulk of the pack. They can aid any higher rank by following along in hunts, picking out particular herbs for guardians, or even accompanying mercenaries in a scout of the territory.
Omega's are wolves who are distrusted by a pack. This can be either because they are a curious new member, or because they did something detrimental to harm the pack's trust if they were previously a member. They receive little to no respect, and get little to no food after hunts. After a while, they may prove themselves to the pack, or just be killed.
Loner's are wolves who do not have a pack. They are often distrusted, and must be approved by an Alpha before joining a pack.
Rogue's are loner's who don't have any intention of joining a pack. They are often seen as a menace, and usually a pack will attempt to drive them off.
