Rankings

High ClassAlpha: The alphas are the highest rank, typically pure blooded canines who are skilled and level-headed beasts. They lead the paid to their best ability and would easily give their life for them. They are meant to be selfless and earn the highest respect imaginable. They come in pairs, typically mated. But one may choose to rule alone, though it may be looked down upon.
Polemistis: Alpha Male (open)
Alpha Female: Hela (Miguel O’hair Air)
Nychta: Alpha female (open)
Alpha Male: Knox (Ars)
Filikos: Alpha Female (open)
Alpha Male: Irving (Venom)Beta (1/2, Nychta. 2of 2, Polemistis, Filikos): The second in command, the advisor to the alpha. The right hand wolf, and often close friend. Typically there to take over when the leader is incapacitated. They can take over as alpha if there is no appointed heir. They are clever and calm in the face of danger. They also come in mated pairs as most high ranks do. They are always open to give others advice when needed. Their services are not reserved for the Alpha alone.
Nychta Beta: Sheba (Red)Delta (1/2, Filikos. 2 of 2 open, Nychta and Polemistis): The third in command when both leader and Beta are unable to handle the tasks about the pack. They can handle sparring and the general overseeing of the other canines. Not as high as alpha or their second hand, but clearly above other wolves. They are worthy of their rank, often slightly more aggressive as they handle sparring and combat when available.
Filikos Delta: Lily’Darling (yam!)Lead Guard (3 of 3 open for packs): The leaders of the guards, they rule over and control their ranks. Organizing wolves about the areas that are most sacred, typically spots of religious connection. Allowing none to desecrate their spiritual places. They will also organize wolves about the younger wolves and vulnerable den mothers. Typically senior guards.Lead Hunter (3 of 3 open for packs): Like the lead guardians, they have general control of all hunters. They organize parties throughout the day to gather prey to provide for the pack. Typically rotated about three times, they never seem to rest. The lead hunters are hardly about, keeping incredibly busy no matter what. They also have the ability to organize larger events when required.Lead Warrior (3 of 3 open for packs): Lead Warriors, unlike guards, are constantly ready for a fight. Waiting to defend their pack, typically with more aggression than others. They are determined and stubborn and not known to back down easy. They have fought for this position, and they show it. They organize patrols to search the territory for outsiders ready to get their pelts torn off.Spymaster (1 of 1 open for packs): The highest of the spies, tasked with leading or sending their scouts on perilous stealth missions. They are highly intelligent and oddly silent, typically never speaking save to those under their command. They are quite busy, though not as much as the lead hunters. They are just as important as the rest.Seer ( 1 of 1 open, Polemistis, Filikos): They are the wolves chosen to communicate with the gods, closest to the spiritual world. They are serene and clear of mind, ready to interpret the will of those higher than them. They are highly respected, and might even be able to provide prophecies. They often have a slight knowledge of medicine as well, and might work with the healer to aid them in their trances needed to commune with the gods.
Nychta Seer: Silvia (Laura)Healer (1 of 1 open, Nychta.): The designated caretaker for the wounded and elderly members of the pack. They are calm and stoic in the face of death, and unwavering in chaos yet sympathetic for their patients. They have a higher sense of empathy and kindness. They guide those that pass off as painlessly as they possibly can. They may help the seer with their trances, providing herbs that aid with tranquility or putting them to sleep completely.
Filikos Healer: Mulch (Chaos)
Polemistis Healer: Mako (Finch444)Keeper (1 of 1 open for packs): These wolves are tasked with the telling of stories and history. They have an incredible, photographic memory. They are typically older and enjoy telling these tales to young pups to pass down their knowledge. They are always pleased when canines gather around just to hear them speak. They can make you believe almost anything; real or not.

Middle ClassWarriors (open for all): Warriors are the militia of the packs, the army that makes up the majority of their ranks. They are tasked with chasing off loners and outsiders from the territory or rightly engaging them in battle. They are typically merciless and aggressive, known for their musculature and often diminutative mindset. They are wholly focused on battle and in their free time often spar. They are home more often than guardians to protect den mothers and pups.Guardians (open for all): The second largest collection of wolves, tasked with guarding more sacred areas. They are not seen frequently about the camp, for it is the warriors job to protect the more vulnerable members of the pack. They are less brutal and more so unmoving, never flinching in the face of a threat.Hunter (open for all): The main providers of prey for the pack, they are constantly moving about in rotating patrols. They are quick yet sturdy, able to drag down prey bigger than themselves. They are quick on their feet with admirable strength and excellent at coordinating with large groups. Especially during events. They are always calculated and cunning.Scout (open for all packs): They are the ones who scout out the land, sometimes for threats. Though often they are peaceful, simply enjoying the wind in their coats. They are renowned for their speed and stamina, typically smaller than a hunter but just a stealthy perhaps more so.Spy (3 of 3 open for Filikos and Polemistis. 2 of 3 for Nychta): Different from scouts only in the way they are used for only watching the wolves around them. They are meant to do as their name says… spy. Especially on potential threats such as rogues and loners. They are exceptionally skilled in stealth and typically have dark coats to blend in. They can be lethal when needed.
Nychta Spy 1: Major (Yam
————————————————
Lower ClassDen Mothers (open for all): Pregnant she wolves who have been forced to retire to the birthing place to rest and prepare themselves. They are to remain there until their bodies have healed and their pups are not quite as dependent upon them. They are tasked with only caring for their young or those around them.Nannies (open for all): Wolves who watch young canines while their mothers are out. Typically females who have decided to retire from their typical duties such as fighting or hunting. They much prefer the company of the little ones. Though they are fierce when needed and often as stubborn as the children.Pups (open for all): The next generation, young canines who stick with their mothers. They are curious and often clumsy, filling their days with playing and tumbling about. Annoying their mothers and Nannies until their heads are about to explode. They are not allowed out of camp, nor far from the birthing den until they are six months old and apprenticed.Apprentices (open for all): Pups are apprenticed at 6 months and assigned a mentor to teach them the ways of their pack. They will rise to their chosen rank when they reach a year old. Until then, they will learn the territory, basic defense, religion and their way of life. They are not very respected and often find themselves cleaning out dens.Elders (open for all): Elders are the seniors of the pack who have chosen retirement. They simply… exist. Sometimes they tell stories but more often than not they lay about and eat prey. Some might respect them for their previous glory days, mostly young wolves. Typically, elders are reserved as punishments for apprentices. Cleaning out bedding and whatnot.Omegas (done via rp): The lowest rank, the dirt and bastard of the pack. They serve no purpose, they are useless and often half starved. Some may be demoted to this rank as punishment. They are verbally and physically abused by most simply for existing and taking up space.
