Ranking Information:
Alpha: The alpha can be either a male or a female, whether he/she is a dog, wolf, dingo, ect. it doesn't matter. The alpha MUST be a great fighter, thinker, and speaker, and you must also be active more than twice a week! Alpha is a big responsibility. The alpha leads the pack, gives it moral support, commands it, and keeps it in order. Usually the pack will elect the alpha. Betas: There are two betas, one female and one male. They do not have to be mates, but they do have to know how to cooperate. They take over for the alpha when he/she is sick, injured, pregnant, missing, ect. Betas have almost as much authority as the alpha, and they must be respected. They are in charge of reporting back to the alpha what goes on in the pack. The female beta is in charge of keeping the female pack members in order, and the male beta is in charge of the male pack members. When the alpha dies, one of the betas will be elected to fill in permanently. Head Elite Guards: There is one head elite guard for every five elite guards. The head elite guards are the best fighters, and usually the biggest members of the pack. They are in charge of keeping the elite guard in order, and they report back to whichever beta was assigned to them to report back to. They train the elite guard and keep them in shape. Each head elite guard is in charge of five elite guards. To become one you simply have to be a very good head elite guard. Elite Guards: The elite guards are very powerful, and they are the toughest in the pack. They don't really have to be the largest... there could be a Chihuahua with really good fighting skills after all... but they DO have to be excellent fighters. You become one by training as a normal fighter beginner for seven moons, then you have to be a fighter for at least a moon, and finally you have to pass a test: Mock battle an elite guard of your choice, and win or at least do very well. The alpha and two witnesses must be present. If you don't do well you don't pass.The elite guard are split into groups of five with a head elite guard to train them daily, and they tend to be really close to the others in their group. There are five elite guards for every ten members in the pack. Head Fighters: The head fighters are the best at battle, except they aren't quite as good as the elite guards and higher ranks. They are in charge of the fighters and there is one head fighter for every five fighters in the pack. They have to report back to the beta that was assigned to them to report back to. They also have to do fighter duties, like hunt for the pack and defend it. You become one by simply being a very good fighter. Fighters: Fighters are the main body of the pack, they are trained to fight and defend the pack. Without fighters there is no pack! Every pup grows up to be a fighter, with few exceptions. They are split into groups of five, with a head guard overseeing each group, and they tend to be very close to those in their group. They have to do fighter duties, like hunt for the pack and defend it at all costs. Beginners: The beginners are usually young pack members that are training to be fighters. There are also beginners for positions such as healer, tracker, and assasin. Each beginner has a mentor that he/she has to listen to and they have little respect, since they don't know much yet. Fighter beginners have to train for six moons to become a fighter, they have to train for seven moons to qualify for elite guards. All other types of beginners stop being beginners when their mentors think they're ready. They all start at two moons of age. They also have to do unpleasant jobs such as clean out the elders' nests and babysit, and help those in need. Healers: There are three healers for every ten members of the pack. They are in charge of healing the pack and taking care of them. The healers have to make sure the pack is not hurting itself physically, mentally, or emotionally and it takes a lot of training to be able to master this job. One must know the herbs and mixtures, as well as good advice and how to deal with elders, pups, and everything in between. They must also have a lot of patience and understanding. Healers also get some fighter training once a week. Trackers: Trackers are very sneaky wolves. They are the ones that practically spend their whole lives hunting and bringing food to the pack. They have no authority but they are respected and listened to. They aren't the only ones that hunt, but at least one tracker should be present at every hunting patrol, since they are the hunting experts. To become a tracker you must first have at least three moons of fighter training, and after that you must train with a tracker and become a tracker beginner. There are five trackers for every twenty wolves in the pack. They, like the healers, have some fighter training once a week. Assasins: Assasins are spies and murderers. They have super top secret training overseen by the alpha and the most trusted beta. It's important that nobody knows about what goes on during assasin training other than the members of the pack that ABSOLUTLEY need to know. Assasins are secretive and they are sent out to scout the territory and make sure it is safe. They also are the representatives of their pack and visit other packs regularly to keep friendly relations. When someone needs to be "taken care of" the alpha secretly sends an assasin to do it. Assasins also spy on other packs and report back to the alpha and the alpha ONLY. The pack knows about assasins, but they don't know them too well, and that's exactly how things must stay. There are two assasins for every twenty members of the pack. Usually, the alpha chooses you to become one. Once an assasin, always an assasin. If you want to quit, you die. Mothers/Pups/Elders: Mothers are... obviously... mothers of pups. Pups are the babies of the pack and must be protected at all costs! They cannot leave the nursery without their mother until they are two moons old. Elders are very respected and are usually taken care of by the fighter beginners. They are old and/or disabled, and they have retired from their jobs.
Other Info: This is just other information (yeah I know I write a lot), about customs and traditions and such. Feel free to read it, but it's not mandatory. _-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-
_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_- Howling together: The packs gather their members at camp every night to howl at the moon. It is done to unite the packs. Training Together: Right before howling together, as the sun is setting around the end of the day, everyone gathers with their pack members at camp to talk about how their training is going. Some may volunteer to demonstrate their moves and they can mock fight each other, and tutor each other. This is done so that the pack can bond and they are learning from each other at the same time, plus the alpha gets to be in on all the training. This is NOT part of regular training, which is done individually. The Feast: Every time a couple become mates and they decide to make it public, the whole pack goes out hunting all together for really big game, while the two new mates stay back at camp, getting some privacy. When the pack comes back with the big prey they all eat to their heart's content and howl to the new couple afterwards. The alpha offers some words of wisdom, and the pack members can say their own little speeches as well. Afterwards everyone stays at camp together, watching the sun sink below the horizon. Dying: When a someone dies all of the pack members carry them to where they want to bury them. They all sit around and howl sadly while two others dig the hole. When the hole is finished, they bury the deaed and walk away, not speaking for the rest of the day out of respect. When pups are born: The pack howls together at the nursery entrance, and the alpha welcomes the new members. _-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-
_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_- 1. Pups and beginners must NEVER back talk any of their superiors. The penalty for this is up to the parents. 2. NO ONE back talks the alpha. The penalty is possible exile, depending on the severity. If not so severe, the penalty is no dinner. 3. No one must kill anyone without a good reason, and it is dishonorable to kill someone when they are off of their guard. The penalty for this is up to the alpha and/or the family of the killed. 4. Lying, as we all know, is dishonorable, but the assasins are the only ones that may lie to the pack, but NOT to the alpha. Penalty is death or exile for assasins lying to the alpha. The penalty can vary for other members. 5. Don't hunt for sport. Penalty is starvation. 6. Don't kill others for sport. Penalty is a slow and painful death. 7. Don't steal from other packs. Penalty may vary from a scolding to death. 8. Don't cross into other packs' borders unless there's a very good reason and the alpha knows about it. Penalty may vary from a scolding to death. 9. Don't intentionally harm any member of your pack. Penalty is exile or death. _-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-
_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_- Ok so obviously we don't go by real time here, so we need to establish how long moons (months), suns (days), darknesses (nights), and cycles (years) are. Moons: last 7 days (real time). Suns: This one is complicated... just go along with everyone else, for example if someone writes that it's getting dark then you know the sun is almost over. Darknesses: Read Suns. Cycles: last 6 months (real time). _-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-
_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-
Front Paw Strike: A frontal attack. Slice downward with your front paw at the body or face of your opponent. Works best if you are larger than your opponent, and if you have long claws. Frontal Paw Blow: A frontal attack. Bring your front paw down hard onto your opponent's head. Works best if you are larger than your opponent. Back Kick: An explosive surprise move to catch an opponent from behind. Judge opponent's distance from you carefully, and then lash out with your back legs, taking your weight on your front paws.This sends the opponent flying. Belly Rake: A fight stopper. Slice with your claws (if they are sharp) across soft flesh of the opponent's belly. If you are pinned down, the belly rake quickly puts you back in control. Works best if you have long claws and strong legs. Upright Lock: Final move on already weakend opponent. Rear up on your back legs, and bring full weight down on top of your opponent. If your opponent does the same, wrestle and flip him under you. This move makes you vulnerable to the Belly Rake, so it takes great strength and speed. Works best if you are larger than your opponent. Leap and Hold: Idle for a small dog facing a larger opponent. Spring onto opponent's back, and grip hard. Now you are beyond the range of your opponent's paws and teeth, and in position to inflict severe body wounds. A group of beginners/learners/to-be's could defeat a large and dangerous opponent this way. Teeth Grip: Target your opponent's extremities (the legs, tail, scruff, or ears) and sink in your teeth and hold. This move is similar to the Leap and Hold, but your body is free to fight. Scruff Shake: Secure a strong teeth-grip in the scruff of your opponent's neck, then shake violently until they are too rattled to fight back. Use mostly against opponents that you can throw, like rats or Chihuahuas. Play Dead: Effective in a tight situation, liked when you are pinned. Stop struggling and go limp. When your opponent relaxes his grip, thinking that you are defeated, push yourself up explosively. This will throw off any wary opponent, and put you back into a fighting position. Works best if you are more than half the size of your opponent. Killing Bite: A deathblow to the back of the neck or throat. Quick and silent, sometimes considered dishonorable. Used as only a last resort. Partner Fighting: Those who have trained and fought together will often instinctively fall into a paired defensive position, each protecting each other's back while fending off an opponent on either side. Biting, nipping, and leaping together, battle pairs can be a whirlwind of danger for their attackers. Nip and Tear: A very effective move that most wolves and wolf hybrids know instinctively. Dive in quickly and secure a piece of your opponents flesh with your teeth, then leap back, ripping the flesh, and flying back to safety. Dive in again, and again, and again, ect. It inflicts serious pain on the opponent, but terriers and smaller dogs have issues with this move since it's not in their instinct to let go. Same with Bulldogs, Pitbulls, ect. Muzzle Lock: Grab your opponents muzzle with your teeth, this gives you control over their head. Once in control, you can do a number of things with your opponent, ex: smash their face into the ground. It only works if you are over half the size of your opponent though. Bite and Hold: Some breeds, like Pitbulls and Bulldogs have it in their instinct to grab onto their opponent and not let go for anything. This causes serious injuries to the opponent in the afflicted area. It only works if you have a short muzzle, ideal for this move. Jaw Lock: This happens when the two opponents rear on their hind legs and lean in towards each other. The result is a jaw lock usually, with both opponents attempting a muzzle lock at the same time. This gives you some amount of power to knock the other off balance, but you can also use this time to inflict serious injuries to your enemy's face. This only works if the two enemies are of similar height. Horse Kick: Use this move when an enemy is springing at your back. Lean on your front legs and kick backwards, sending the enemy flying off. You can also move forward a couple of paces and then kick, hitting the enemy in the jaw, causing extreme pain. The Twist: This move is effective for when someone has you pinned, even by your throat. Twist from their grip, rolling out from under them, and then leaping swiftly to your feet to continue fighting. Works real nicely with the muzzle lock and/or the nip and tear move following it. The Ultimate Pin: You know what a pin is, but this is the ultimate pin. Hold the enemy down using all of your weight, also holding their front paws down with yours, and holding their back paws down with yours. This makes you vulnerable to the twist though.
