Role Information
-
Alpha- The alpha is in charge of caring for the pack. The alpha plans hunts, moves, patrols, and has many other responsibilities, such as scouting potential new territory and battling enemies. The alpha can be any gender and is not required (but is preferred) to have a mate and pups to carry on the alpha's line. The alpha rank can only be achieved if: A, you are the alpha's youngest heir, or B, you challenge and beat the alpha in a battle, or C, you are the beta and the alpha passes with no pups. Alphas and their mates/pups den in the large hill-house ruins, the ruins of a large family home atop a sloped hill, a bit farther from the city, though still in it.
-
Beta- The beta is the rank right below the alpha. Betas are there to help with patrolling and hunts, as well as step in when the alpha is unavailable. If the alpha passes without pups and doesn't lose to a challenge, then the beta rises to that rank and chooses the next pack member to be the new beta. Beta can also be changed if a bate loses in a rank battle with another pack member. The beta can be any gender and is not required to have a mate or pups. The beta and its mate/pup den in the side of the hill that the alphas live on, in an old shed behind the grand family home.
-
Patrol Dogs- Patrol dogs are tasked with scouting out the territory and taking notes of threats and hunting/scavenging areas, as well as potential den sights. They are the main fighters of the pack and chase off small threats like coyotes or cats and such. They are not allowed to eat unless completely necessary during their outings, and they are the second-lowest rank in the pack. They den closer and almost completely in the city, in the or in once was the city enterance.
-
Hunters/Scavengers- It's all in the name. Hunters and scavengers are tasked with hunting for the remaining prey, scavenging the ruins for food or useful plants/items, and sometimes scouting if patrol dog numbers are low. They are normally the fastest of the group, and the more agile ones, being able to dodge this ruin and that cord whilst on the hunt. They are even closer to the heart of the city. The dens being so spread out helps keep the pack from ever getting mass-murdered in a time of threat.
-
Mothers and Pups- Mothers and pups den next to the patrollers, since the patrollers are the ones who fight and they can keep the puppies and mothers safe. Only females can be mothers, but a male can step into the den to care for a motherless litter, or if he is crippled or not able to work but still able to babysit. The mothers are only the mates of patrollers and hunters, as the female mates of the alpha and beta den with them.
-
Omega- The omega is the lowest rank of the pack. Usually the smallest or weakest of the pack, the omega is tasked with cleaning the dens and waiting on injured or sick dogs. They are trained in herbs by past omegas and are technically medics. They have no real den site and usually switch between sleeping with the patrol dogs to the hunters, and sometimes with the pups.
-
Loners- Loners are animals that aren't part of the pack, but still reside on the territory. The pack is fine with this, as long as the loners aren't hostile, they can do as they please. Loners normally stay in the ruins of the huge buildings that once stood proudly in the city.
