[/size][/center]L'alpha [x2]
The alphas, they are the ones in charge, they are the leaders and their word is law. There may be one alpha or two if they are mates although some alphas may not take permanent life partners. It is expected to call the female alpha Ma'am, Drappa, or Lady. Alpha males expect to be called Sir, Dragga, or Mi' Lord. Both alphas may be addressed as Mi' Liege or even Sir. The alphacontrols the pack's daily business and keeps everything together. It is their duty to carry out punishments, act as peacekeepers and protectors. They are first to eat a kill. *Must be over two and a half years of age*
le Béta [x2]
The betas, they are the second in commands. Their word is law to all except the alpha or unless their law goes against one of the alphas. The betas do not have to be partners, in fact it is preferred that they are not mates. The beta male is assigned by the alpha male and the beta female is assigned by the alpha female. The betas have no special title but should be respected. It is honorable to call them Sir and Lady. In case of the absence of the alphas the betas take over the pack. If the heirs are too young the betas lead until the pup has grown to the age of two and a half. If there are no heirs the betas may take the alpha spot. They are peacekeepers, enforcers of the law, and are expected to help keep the pack together on good terms. The betas eat second. *Must be over fours years of age*
le Delta [x2]
The deltas are third in command. Their position is similar to the betas but they may make no laws. When the betas step up as alpha the deltas step up and take the position on betas. Like the betas they should be treated with respect. The deltas may be called by their names- they need to title. The deltas are also usually either the lead hunter or lead warrior as well. They are expected to keep the pack in order, organize hunts when requested, train the young to fight, and enforce the laws. The deltas eat third. *Must be over three years of age*
les Anciens [x1+]
The ancients are the elder wolves, the wolves with much knowledge about the world, life, and all of its wonders. They are the ones the alphas turn to when they are in a dire situation or a situation they need advice in. It is also their responsibility to help teach the young, to give them knowledge and to tell tales to the pups. The ancients are also highly respected and if there is only one in the pack s/he is called the Wise One. The elders eat fourth or fifth. *Must be over nine years of age*
les Gardes [x4]
The guards are simply that- guards. They are in charge of protecting the alpha and their heirs with their life. Wherever the alphas go a guard or two goes with them and where the pups go one guard must go. They are responsible for making sure nothing comes to harm them, especially on the battlefield. Each alpha should have a guard of their own sex; or they may chose not to have a guard at all. If they fail their duty their punishment is death. However, the guards don't always have to guard the alpha- they may be stationed around the pack like sentries to make sure no one sneaks up while the others sleep. Guards may eat fifth or when the alpha tells them. *Must be over four and a half years, strong, and experts with killing.*
les Bagarreurs [x5+]
The fighters are the warriors of the pack. They are the strong and skilled with knowledge and warfare. They are expected to be called upon in a moments notice, help train the young to fight, come up with battle strategies, and come up with training techniques. The fighters are also in charge of patrolling the pack boarders to make sure all is well and if anything is slightly off they have a duty to tell the alphas. Fighters eat sixth. *Must be over three years of age*
les Chasseurs [x5+]
The hunters are the ones who catch and bring food to the pack. The hunters will normally have a leader who helps come up with plans or they may follow the plans form the Delta who are normally the leaders anyway. It is their job to always make sure there is enough food for all. They are also expected to turn into fighters during times of war. Hunters eat sixth with the fighters. *Must be over two and a half years of age.*
les Habitués [x2+]
The regulars are pack members with no rank. Normally they are wolves who just joined the pack, who are still under the age of three, or wolves who are apprentices. You are also a regular if you have not proved yourself of anything higher but have done enough to not fall to omega. These wolves are always being judged by their superiors to see what rank they should hold. These wolves eat seventh. *Must be over two years of age.*
les Gardes d'enfants [x4]
The sitters are the ones who look out after the pups when they are young or under the age of two. Sitters are normally young females who just turned two themselves, females who cannot have pups of their own, or females to old to have pups of their own. Thay are in charge of keeping the pups busy, out of danger, and in charge of subtly teaching them skills through stories and mini "adventures" in the calm herb gardens. Sitters eat seventh. *Females over two years of age*
l'Oméga [x1+]
The omegas are the lowest ranked in the pack besides slaves and prisoners. They have usually done something to anger an alpha or beta or have been deemed untrustworthy for the time being. They are like the punching bags, who everyone takes their rage out on. However, they can also be wolves who calm everyone else down depending on their personality. Normally the omegas are charged to just keep an eye on the regular pups. Omegas eat last. *May be any age.*
les Chiots [x1+]
The pups are either pups born to the betas or below or even the other alpha pups that were not chosen heirs to the power. Normally they are taught by the other wolves in the pack, but their training is very lenient. The alpha pups are normally pampered and trained to be medics or deltas while the others are trained to become hunters or fighters depending on their spirit. Regular pups eat when their parents eat. Alpha pups eat with their parents and their two chosen siblings. *These range from newborn to two and a half years of age.*
les Héritiers [x2]
The heirs are two chosen alpha pups, one male and one female, who will be taught to become leaders, to become alphas because one day. One of the two raised will be picked to rule the pack while the other must settle for beta. The pup not chosen may fight for the position following specific rules and regulations. Also they normally are not pampered but must undergo grueling training once they are weened. Heirs eat first with the alphas. *May be any age*
Le tueur [x1+]
The killers are the assassins of the pack, they are the ones who do all the dirty work, the ones who the alphas send out to do quick jobs usually of wolves from other packs. Normally these wolves aren't trusted but they are respected all the same for their abilities to kill and to kill silently without leaving a trace. Normally they have to be dark colored, though not required, strong, lean and fast all at the same time but more importantly they have to be quiet. The killers eat sixth. *Must be over three years of age.*
