Because werewolves are not solitary creatures by nature, the highest ranking positions in the pack will sometimes be shared by mates. These pairs will be of equal rank, and given the respect they deserve regardless of gender, orientation or origin.
Alpha(s) - Alphas are highest ranking members of the wolf pack as they hold control over their pack members. The Alpha pair is responsible for leading the pack on hunts, protecting and overseeing pack territory, accepting strangers into the pack as well as driving errant wolves out of the pack. The Alphas keep the pack in order and in control and will take any measure to see that the pack remains undisturbed and unharmed. 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. Alphas should be shown the utmost respect and are in the position to punish those who do not show it. Disobeying an Alphas order will have consequences.
Beta(s) - These are the second highest ranking members of the pack. They are in charge when the Alpha(s) is/are unavailable, and are responsible for maintaining control and organization over the pack in the Alphas absence. These wolves are the most trusted advisors to the Alphas and may be consulted when dealing with more sensitive issues.
Delta(s) - These members are just below the Betas in rank, and if neither the Alphas or Betas or available they are in charge. They are also very trusted advisors to the Alphas, and lead the Scout and Warden tracks. These wolves usually take control of training the younger wolves in their appropriate specialties.
Gammas - These members are your average pack members, and are distributed in different roles in the pack based on their skill set or if trained specifically for a role. Gamma roles are listed as the following:
Elders - Currently Open: These wolves are the eldest, wisest, and most experienced members of the pack, and are used for advice and guidance to younger pack members. These members usually steer clear of battle when possible and offer a more supportive role to the younger pack members. Elders are considered to be a Gamma in rank, but are to be treated with respect in the same way that you would treat your grandmother or grandfather.
Vanguards- Currently Open: The most skilled and trusted of the Wardens and Scouts. These wolves serve as the Delta's right hand. Vanguards, along with the Alphas, Betas and Deltas, form the council.
Wardens - Recruiting: Protectors, peacekeepers, and enforcers; these pack members are tasked with making sure everyone is safe, the territory is protected, and that the rules are followed.
Scouts - Recruiting: These pack members are trackers and information gatherers. They go out on their assignments given by higher ranking members of the pack and report back with information to the council with their findings.
Healers - Recruiting: Pack members gifted in the healing arts, whether they use herbs and homeopathic remedies, formal medical training or their given gifts. These members are the ones that heal the wounded and take care of those in need.
Recruits - Recruiting: New members that have not yet been trained in their chosen role.
Omega - A rare type of wolf who is submissive to all others, yet can get away with ignoring some of the dictates of the highest level wolves in the dominance structure. While in some ways Omegas are outsiders even in their pack they are also as important to a pack as an alpha. Omegas have the power to calm other Werewolves or to call up their pack members protective natures.
