Pack Ranks

+Alpha Male and Alpha Female+

There are one-two Alpha wolves in the pack, one male and/or one female of course. The most dominant Alpha is the pack leader and can be either male or female. The dominant Alpha is responsible for leading the pack on hunts, establishing pack territory and its safety, accepting strangers into the pack or driving errant wolves out of the pack. They are responsible for keeping the pack in order and in control and will take many precautions to see that the pack is not disturbed. Each pack member is considered family but respect is still presistant. In roleplaying, the Alpha couple is always the first to eat from a kill, gets the biggest portions and choicest cuts of food and receives the best sleeping areas. They tell the pack what to do, where to go, and how to work without questions from their members. Keeping things at a strict basis is their way of showing their care and concern for the pack-mates.

+Beta Male and Beta Female+

The Beta rank is the highest ranking wolf in the pack just below the Alpha pair. The Beta wolf is essentially the second-in-command of the wolf pack and beyond this most significant point, the Beta is otherwise similar to wolves in the High rank. When the Alpha's are absence (which for reason can be surveying areas, chosing new territory, editing sites, etc), it is the Beta's job to make sure the pack is organized and under control. Any problems that occur in the pack, the Betas report to the Alphas and allow the Alphas to take control. When the Alphas are indeed away for a time, these wolves are the next in authority and demand the same respect and control from their packmates.

-Dark Soul Judge Wolves-

The Dark Soul Judge Wolves are a high ranking wolf in the pack that unites with the betas and alphas to keep all order and control. They also help with the development of the pack. They are highly honoured by everyone including the alphas. They are feared and respected by lower ranked pack members and highly reconized by the higher ranked wolves. Dark Soul Judges also assist with pack behaviour and decisions. They judge like there name states the whole Dark Soul Wolf Pack. They are a force to be feared.

+Shadow Soul Wolves+

Just below Dark Soul Judge Wolves, these wolf is also high in the ranking tree. They are often reconized for there dedication to the pack and the respect they show the alphas. However don't let a seemingly friendly nature fool you. Just like the jusdes they got bite behind there bark. These wolves follow and serve the Dark Soul Judge wolves when called upon. And when they are your in for a lot of trouble. These are the wittiest, toughest and strong hearted wolves of the pack and they are highly respected and demand respect.

+Dark Elder Wolves+

These wolves aren't really considered "Old". This rank shows that they have been here and have done their hardest work to know everything about the pack. They are seen to the Alphas as responsible and are given more choices, such as: create their own packs in roleplaying or become "Absence Wolves" when the Alphas are gone. They are able to watch over the pack and keep it in control until the Alphas return. They have knowledge all about the pack and soon will be promoted. They also have higher archy knowledge such as how to run a pack and give information to those who do not understand about us or anything wolf related. They are cunning and should be respected by lower ranks.

These wolves again are not neccessarily older just wiser. They have knowledge of the pack and wolves, but not at the same compasity. These wolves also have the ability to start their own pack with in The Dark Soul Wolf Pack but a limit of 3 member plus themselves which it will equal to 4. Lower ranks seek knowledge from these wolves and they are reconized for pleasing the higher ranked wolves and be-friending the lower ranks. All lower ranks look up to these wolves when understanding and confort is needed. The alphas admire there flare.

The name says it all. They can either gather food or service for the pack or track down the ones that appear threatening. They mostly introduce their recruits to the Alphas to see whether or not other wolves can be accepted. They also protect the pack by fighting off enemies or predators. If there are ones that are threatening the pack, they take on the role of "decoys" till the pack has found safety. Once the "coast is clear", they meet up with the pack hours later.

+The Scouters+

They are somewhat the suppliers of the pack. They track information that are needed to if the pack is in danger. They survey the territory grounds. If the pack is threatened, they report it to the Hunters and let the Hunters assume their role. Reporting such to the Hunters and showing their loyalty to the pack gives them respect from the Alphas.

+Delta Wolves+

The Deltas are the guardians of the higher ranks. They protect the Alphas, Betas, Dark Wolves, Shadowed Wolves, Elders and even themselves from dangerous situations. The pack admires these warriors because of the service they provide for the pack. They are fearless, dominant, and worthy of receiving admiration from the Alphas.

As their name implies, yes they are the guardian wolves. They protect the pack with their lives. If the pack is threatened and the Hunters and Scouters are indeed in danger, they take their place and fight for the safety of the pack. Unlike the Deltas (who protect the higher authorities), these wolves protect the rest of the pack. And it is their job to seek out any danger that may cause the pack trouble.

-The Adult Wolves-

These are the wolves that usually reach their teenage years and are old enough to leave their pack to start a new one or stay where they currently are and help support the pack. This rank is the most to be noticed. And because of this, they are energetic and eager to earn the Alpha's attention. When a pack member creates an account for the howl and makes their first post, they are immediately rewarded this rank. Moving past this rank depends upon their dedication and hard work.

+Adult hood Wolf+

These are the wolves that usually reach their teenage years and are old enough to leave their pack to start a new one or stay where they currently are and help support the pack. This rank is the most to be noticed. And because of this, they are energetic and eager to earn the Alpha's attention. When a pack member creates an account for the howl and makes their first post, they are immediately rewarded this rank. Moving past this rank depends upon their dedication and hard work.

There are usualy two Omega wolves in the pack - one male and one female, similar to the Alphas but at the opposite end of the pack ranking system. The Omega pair have no authority in the pack except over pups (to support the Elders) and virtually no rights. Omega wolves do not partake in pack hunts, instead they remain at the dens and function as babysitters to the pack's pup litter, teaching these young wolves skills and providing advice for them that are given from the Alphas or Betas . As the last allowed to feed from kills, these wolves get the leanest and worst portions of meat and typically risk starvation during poor hunting periods. Although they moved past the rank of "Scavengers", this Omega ranks simply means they are in the pack and this will test their loyalty and commitment.

+The Scavengers+

These are wolves who have not been fully accepted into the pack yet. They follow the pack from a far away distance and after the pack's meal is finished, they eat what's left behind. These wolves have no rights whatsoever and are not allowed to participate in wolf activities. They cannot have information of the pack nor receive any news/updates/member info, etc. They are on hold until the Alphas' approve and accept them into the pack. Once they are accepted, they are instantly moved up to the Omega.
