Philosophy:
Elija does not see a wolf as having a rank, but as one who uphold a moral, a task, a duty; she bestows "Titles"--NOT ranks; in this way, somewhat avoiding outright ranks, each wolf contributes to the whole.
CENSUS:
Alpha Female: Elija
Alpha Male: -
Beta(s): -
Omega(s): -
Pup(s): -
In-Training: -
Members: -
Alpha Position:
Guide- ( 1 available)
One capable of providing counsel, guidance, and direction to the pack, setting both the example for cooperation and goodness.
Beta Positions:
Sentinel- (2 spaces available)
The guard to the Guide, the one who acts in his, her, or their stead as either a surrogate guide to the family, a representative of the Guide is he/she/they are away or if they are called upon to be diplomats between packs.
Prime- (infinite)
Possibly the biggest duty, that varies in all ways. These wolves deal with task that support the inside of the pack from the outside. They take on the roles of Messengers, Scouts, Warriors, Teachers, Hunters, Guardians, all of these together.
Duties vary from time to time, But primes are called upon for all of these.
If Alphas could be thought of as the body of the wolf, The Primes are the heart and fangs.
Acolyte- (infinite, but less than Prime)
These members aid only in the affairs inside the pack. They are caregivers to pregnant mothers who their lives to protect her and her pups; they are the ears of the pack, errand runners, general helpers who care for everyone, including the sick yet exempting the Talentless.
If the Alphas are the head of the pack, the acolytes are the neck.
Disciples- (depends)
After a pup has matured after their care from Acolytes, they are move on to be taught by a Prime (volunteer or chosen), until they reach their second year--as a general rule.
They are thought of as apprentices.
Elders- (depends)
Those who have reached old age; they are considered wise, supposed to hold uphold the general philosophy, possibly occupy in storytelling. They take the least pressing task from their old rank, yet are still required to contribute.
Omega Positions:
Talentless- (depends)
One who cannot, will not be taught, cooperate, or take part in the family. This group only exists so that the misbehaving or ruthless can be re-educated. This rank is thought of a punishment.
**Breeding, for the sake of stability yet also numbers, can be requested as per the Alpha--though permission is rarely given without good reason from the pair and the environment around them**
