Ranks:
Venix Pack:
Alphas:
The Alpha pair is the most powerful pair within the pack. They hold absolute power over everyone and decide major decisions such as demotion, promotion, exile, death upon a wolf, and much more. Their word is law and if said wolf breaks a rule, there will be major consequences. The Alphas rank is a very hard one to challenge, as losing will result in death. The Alphas are a mated pair for life.
Betas:
The Betas are known as a second-in-command. They are the second most powerful wolves in the pack. There is one female and one male Beta, they do not have to be mates. The Betas mainly take charge if the Alphas are away or simply unavailable at the time. They will mainly make sure the pack is in order and doing what they are supposed to. If you challenge them and lose, the consequences can be death or exile.
Delta:
This wolf can be either gender and is considered a third-in-command. They will typically organize patrols, hunts, and will sometimes lead wolves into battle. The Delta will only step in for extreme matters if the Alphas and Betas are unavailable. They are a very trusted wolf and challenging them is not easy as losing can result in death or exile.
Medic:
The Medic is the healer of the pack. They are the most experienced with herbs and healing. It is impossible to challenge them due to their experience in the field. The Medic is forbidden to have a mate as it can be a distraction. The Medic has an apprentice whom they teach about all the different kinds of herbs and what to do in certain situations.
Medic Apprentice:
The Medic Apprentice is a juvenile wolf that is aged 1-2 years old. They are simply there to train to be the next Medic. They will often be asked to go fetch certain herbs and will be tested to see if they know how to deal with certain wounds. They will only become the next Medic if the current Medic passes away, retires, or is exiled for any reason.
Warriors:
The Warriors make up most of the pack. These wolves are the strongest and are most skilled in combat. They are the ones who are sent out to battle if it is necessary. They will often go on patrols and check the territory bro make sure there are no threats nearby.
Hunters:
These wolves play a very important role within the pack. The Hunters are the main source of food, they go out on hunts together and bring back prey for the pack. They are highly respected as they keep the pack strong and healthy. They will often go on a hunt early morning, afternoon, and evening.
Mothers:
Mothers are females who are in birth, labor, or baring pups. They will often be in charge of watching other wolves' pups as well if they are unavailable to do so, such as the Alphas or Betas offspring. Typically, they are the most vulnerable in the pack so there will usually be a warrior or two guarding them for a little while.
Apprentices:
Apprentices are wolves aged 1-2 years old. They are considered juveniles and will be trained how to fight and hunt. Sometimes, they will be given tests to prove their place within a pack, but it is only if the Alphas feel it is necessary.
Pups:
Pups are young wolves aged 0m-11m old. They are still with their mother at this time. Pups are highly protected within the pack because they are seen as the future of the pack.
Elders:
Elders are wolves aged 10+ years. They are highly respected and have had the most experience with the pack.
Omegas:
An Omega is the lowest rank a wolf can get. They got this rank for breaking one of the pack laws, whether it was talking back to an Alpha, wandering off, communicating with loners, etc. Omegas deserve no respect. They are to only speak when spoken to and must never look anyone in the eye.
------------------------------------
Refugees:
Leader:
The Leader is self-explanatory. They are the most powerful wolf within the group and they make all the calls. The Leader is to be treated with full respect and whatever they say, goes.
Second-in-Command:
This wolf is very close with the Leader. They usually take charge when the Leader is unavailable, however, they will help the Leader make certain decisions.
Spy:
The Spy is a wolf who will go out of their way to gain information from the opposing pack and notify their pack. They will sometimes act as an innocent wolf to gain the enemie's trust. They are known to be a very intelligent wolf.
Members:
These wolves are the bulk of the pack. They pretty much do everything such as patrol, fight, and hunt. Without them, the pack wouldn't exist.
Omegas:
As stated, these wolves are the lowest rank. The Refugees have Omegas due to wolves trying to switch sides, disrespecting the leader, etc.
