Pack Hierarchy

[Mona]

Alphas;;
(Consist of an Alpha Male and an Alpha Female. These dogs are mates and have utmost power over the pack, but are liable to be challenged by loners, other pack members, or ever overthrown by the whole pack. Can claim members.)

Betas;;
(Consist of a Beta Male and Beta Female. These dogs, like the Leaders, are also mates and are considered second in command but only the male can over throw the Beta Female to get a different mate. They will take charge if the Alphas die, are injured, or are overcome by an illness. Betas watch over the pack when the Leaders are gone at meetings, making them temporarily first in command. Can claim members.)

Deltas;;
(Usually consists of the Alphas trusted friends, or even offspring, and they are third in command against the Betas. They usually do not inherit any kind of Alpha or Beta rank and are usually trusted elders that cannot run a pack but can give wise advice and lend a helping paw to the Alphas. Can claim members.)

Lord & Lady;;
(A male and female trusted friend of the Alphas, like the Deltas except they are usually young and have earned the rank through power or anything else. Can claim members.)

Duke & Duchess;;
(Male and female that are powerful yet not as powerful as anybody above them. Can claim members.)

Count & Countess;;
(This pair cannot claim members and they are only there usually as a spot holder or just to keep members in line. They are in charge along with the Lord/Lady, Duke/Duchess, and everybody ahead of them but they do not have as much power as anybody else.)

Sub-Ordinates;;
(The number of these dogs is unlimited. The number of subordinates is determined by how many dogs the pack can provide for. Suborinates are always mature adults; any dogs below the age of one year are regarded as pups.)

Elders;;
(Elders are the older pack members unable to perform their duties properly. Dogs can be sent here early if they have an injury that prevents them from working in their class. Elders keep the respect they had when in their previous rank, as well.)

Pups;;
(Pups are the smallest, most fragile members and the rambunctious teenagers of the pack. They are taken care of by Aides and their mother until they turn 2 years old, which they can either enter the rank of their choosing or the Subordinate rank. During their 1 year, they are trained by their mother and Aides in general until they choose a rank. Once they've chosen a rank, they will learn more about it once they are promoted.)

Omegas/Slaves;;
(Omegas are usually the captives taken in during war, dogs born from rape, and commonly dogs that haven't behaved in their previous ranked and are brought down to Omega as a punishment. Dogs from the pack itself can be sent here as a punishment for wrongdoing either permanently or temporary. Omegas are often verbally abused, and rarely physically abused.)

A Note for Alphas: Alliances are allowed, and can be made or destroyed at any time. This is highly encouraged as it can definitely help a pack who is at war or in need of shelter/food/etc.
