Ranks


The Packs.
Here at Enigma, the packs are run completely separately from one another. Because of this, the packs honor different ranks and have a different hierarchy.


Arcanum Ranks.

Alphas.
One male, one female.
These wolves are not necessarily mates but they most often are. They are the leaders of the pack. They are the ones who make important decisions, call pack meetings, determine whether other wolves may breed, often organize hunts, and take care of other important tasks in the pack. These are very highly respected wolves among the pack and deserve the most submission.

Betas.
One male, one female.
These wolves, like the alphas, are often mates, but it is not required. The betas are the trusted advisors of the alphas. They are often good friends of the alphas and rarely is a decision made without their consent. These wolves are also highly respected among the pack and deserve only slightly less submission than the alphas.

Members.
Unlimited number of either gender.
These are arguably the most important members of the pack, because they make it up. The Arcanum pack values it's members highly and offers specializations among the members. These specializations generally do not entitle the wolf to any more respect than another member, but it does inherently happen sometimes. Often times, the alphas will call on wolves with a certain specialization for their knowledge or skills.

Specializations.
Wolves can only hold one specialization, but may choose if they qualify for more than one.

Puppysitter.
Complete 3 threads involving puppies.
Hunter.
Complete 4 threads in which a successful kill is made, at least one being a large game, group hunt.
Herbalist.
Complete 3 threads displaying your knowledge of the healing abilities of plants.
Peacekeeper.
Complete 2 threads in which your character intervenes and stops a fight.
Messenger.
Complete 2 threads in which your character successfully delivers a message of any importance.
Guard.
Complete 3 threads in which your character protects either a fellow pack member or an innocent.

The member is a general rank. Members are expected to help with whatever they can, whether it be hunting, scouting, or pup care.
