Hunting
The Pack of Stars's main source of prey comes from caribou like the rest of the packs, but they will sometimes hunt rabbits and large birds if they happen to find them. They hunt with speed, and prefer to chase down their prey rather than creep up on it.
Fighting
Wolves from this pack typically use fighting techniques that require agility and strategy. They don't land heavy blows, but they value precision and tactical maneuvers. They dislike to kill during battles, but if they have to, or if the battle seems to be dragging on, they will not hesitate to eliminate their opponent through whatever means necessary.
Religion
The Pack of Stars are, obviously, very religious; they live in a shrine, for God's sake. They follow the Sun, Day Sky, and Night Sky gods, but their main entity is the God of the Moon, or the God of Death. They believe that death is a big part of life, and if you don't worship it, you will be sent to join the Wolves that Walk among Flames after you die.
Ranking System
Below are the ranks of the pack and extended information on them. Thank you for reading~.
Alphas-
Gender: Male
Count: 2
Power: 75%
Description: The two Alphas combined make up the head of the pack, and together, make combined decisions for the rest of the wolves. Typically, they're hardened, cunning, and very strict. Their decisions are allowed to be questioned, but not to a very far extent unless you have a death wish. They are respected, if not just a little bit feared, leaders. The Alphas will do whatever it takes to keep order and the strength/safety of their pack at a high.
How to become one: A male wolf must challenge one Alpha to a fight that will occur two sunrises ahead at dawn. If the winner is the challenger, they rise to take the place of the defeated Alpha, and the defeated Alpha moves to the rank of Omega. If the winner is the Alpha, the challenger is killed by a chosen Beta and their body cast into the river.
(((Out of Character Details: Each participant of the fight is given a percent chance based on their physical and mental abilities, and a random spin is done to decide who is the winner based on these probabilities. The requirements to challenge? Your wolf...
- Must be male.
- Must have completed at least five in-character threads.
- Must have been accepted for at least one month before challenging.
Betas-
Gender: Female
Count: 5
Power: 10%
Description: Betas are the peacekeepers of the pack, second-in-commands that carry out the orders of the alphas as quickly and thoroughly as possible. They are expected to do so without emotion and without sharing their opinion outwardly if it goes against the Alphas'. They are trusted advisors, otherwise, and hold the second to highest ranking in the pack.
How to become one: The first five Betas will be created and accepted like the Alphas, but after that, they will be chosen by the Alphas to replace those that fall.
Healers-
Gender: Either
Count: 3
Power: 5%
Description: Healers are like the medical staff of the pack. They collect herbs, tend to wounds and illnesses, and help wolf mothers deliver their pups. They also have incredible spiritual knowledge and act as the preachers of the pack. However, they're seen as having absolutely no power in a pack aside from having authority over sick or injured wolves. Often, Healers start as Omegas that are physically disabled or unable to fight or hunt.
How to become one: The first three Healers can be created straight from apps and dropped into their position right away, but after that, young wolves or Omegas showing talent will be chosen by the Alphas and trained by the other two Healers after one of the three retires or is deceased.
Hunters-
Gender: Either
Count: ∞
Power: 5%
Description: The Hunters, perhaps the most important members of the pack, are responsible for hunting down and killing caribou in the hunting grounds, which are shared by all five of the packs an hunted in openly, counting as neutral territory. They are also charged with task of dragging the caribou back to the Ruins for the rest of the pack to share. They have the same rank level as Fighters, and are usually lean, swift, and graceful.
How to become one: Make an app, have it accepted, and you're in~.
Fighters-
Gender: Either
Count: ∞
Power: 5%
Description: The Pack of the Stars's fighters are the protectors of the pack, important in daily life as well as battle with other packs. They accompany hunters on daily hunts, to help carry the quarry as well as protect from potential sneak attacks, as the hunting grounds are open territories. In battle, they're always the first to spill blood. When their pack is the pack of which is attacking, they're ruthless and quick-thinking. When their pack is defending, they protect the pups and senior members fiercely. Fighters have the same rank level as Hunters, and like them, are usually and quick on their feet, although a bit more often more well-muscled.
How to become one: Make an app, have it accepted, and you're in~.
Omegas-
Gender: Either
Count: ∞
Power: 0%
Description: Omegas are viewed as the lowest of the lowest, the underbelly of the pack. They're generally Hunters, Fighters, Betas, and Alphas that've been sentenced to life being seen as dirt for varying reasons. They always eat last during sharing a meal.
How to become one: You can either make an app for one and have it accepted, or have a wolf demoted in-character.
