by NOTE: We don't care if you don't like our tags. This is how we made them.
High Tier
SWI
Miss/Seer: Alphas of the pack
Litter Permissions: May have up to 5 pups per litter, 2 litters a year
SWi
Dame/Optio: The betas of the pack (female/male, female/female, male/male, or one may be beta at a time). If you have a mate, this does NOT mean your mate will become a beta
Litter Permissions: May have up to 5 pups per litter, 2 litters a year
SWwI
Arytiss: The lead warriors of the Fighter Class. They will (at times) take on an apprentice, and teach the Fighter Class pointers... they are the most experienced of the Fighter Class that have been chosen to lead the rest into battle. They are the first to go out into the field. They also lead patrols (2nd most experienced member of the Fighter Class does in the Fighter Class Commander's absence)
Litter Permissions: May have up to 5 pups per litter, 1 litter a year
SWsI
Thesek: Responsible for keeping the Seeker Class in check. The Seekers answer to these guys and report to them (2nd most experience in charge, etc), and of course their leader(s) and other high ranks. They also help with training their Seeker Class pack mates and give pointers. These guys are the second to go out into the field (usually)
Litter Permissions: May have up to 5 pups per litter, 1 litter a year
SWwE
Elite Walker: The main trainers of Shadow Walkers. These guys are the most knowladged in delivering powerful and quick blows to their enemies. Although the Shadow Walkers answer to the other high ranks, they should know any fighting advice or training SHOULD be done/asked towards the Elite Walkers. These guys also guard and protect the High Tier personally. (LIMIT: 4)
Litter Permissions: May have up to 5 pups per litter, 1 litter a year
SWH
Tigayo: Shaman/healer of the pack. Thse guys also get visions of upcoming events (land related), and scribe any important events into rocks/stones. (DO NOT start a vision without consulting the Alphas directly)
Litter Permissions: May not have pups
Sub Tier
- These guys will be spending a lot of time with their teachers
Litter Permissions: May have up to 4 pups per litter, 1 litter a year
SWai
Vargach: The apprentice of the Dame/Optio, hand chosen by the leaders/betas.
SWaI
Virtusio: The apprentice of the leaders themself, hand chosen by them to learn their ways and how to lead
SWaH
Siren: The apprentice of the Tigayo, hand-chosen at birth. (Often the Tigayo will have a vision on who will be their apprentice). They deal more with healing than the Tigayo (as the Tigayo deal more with conjuring different and sometimes deadly mixtures, and spends time meditating and scribing)
Litter Permissions: May not have pups
SWwA
Shadow Walker: Assassins. I bet you're wondering... why isn't this in the 'Seeker' class? It can be arguable. These Shadow Walkers are powerful in strength AND agility, they can take more hits and deliver strong blows in fast intrigues. These guys are ONLY hand-picked by the Elite Walkers and Alphas, as they will sometimes guard the High Tiers personally. Their main jobs include helping the Seeker Class train, accompanying Elite Walkers on guard duties, and watching over the territory in large spread out formations. (protecting the entire group at a time, teams of 2 when needed (LIMIT: 6)
Middle Tier
Litter Permissions: May have up to 3 pups per litter, 1 litter a year
Seeker Class
SWsM
Vork: With this rank you will be sent off to seek (usually) specific information regarding just about anything. This can be crucial. (Sometimes those within' this pack are not so... loyal). It takes a skillful and stealthy canine to become a Spy. You will also relay messages back and forth to any other pack(s), and must be accompanied by a Mist Wanderer when on a mission for protection. (LIMIT: 2)
SWsS
Mist Wanderer: A scout, it takes much stealth to scout the area undetected! Other creatures lurk and are by-far ready to strike you at any moment. You will be responsible for scouting the perimeters when things seem... tensed. You will also accompany a spy when on their missions just in case things get hairy, unlike spys, you have more fight-training.
SWsH
Gatherer: The hunter. You are responsible for feeding your pack. Again it takes great stealth and concentration to hunt in these lands, and of course knowledge. You will not only know how to hunt- but know of the plants, and animals that inhabit the area and gather any resources. Keep your pack healthy, Gatherer.
Fighter Class
SWwi
Bellum: The warriors, and the first to head into any battle. These guys are hand-picked at birth at times, and begin training before any other specs of each class. (Besides the next leader or Tigayo). The are trained tougher than nails at such a young age. Keep in mind, not all Bellums will be hand-picked at birth, and can start training with the rest of the specs, only those who show... potential early.
SWwa
Factotum: Beginners of the ranks: Shadow Walker, Elite Walker. These guys are training to become professional assassins. They train under the Elite Walkers directly. If not picked to become Elite Walker or Shadow Walker they will act as scouts/guards (as they do during training as well). The have the option to scout with the Mist Wanderers or stay and guard the group at all times with the Custos. They practice their skills on each other, objects, etc in their free time. They strike powerfully, but are not yet skillful enough to focus the power into a full blow. Those limit of 6 (those aspiring to move forward in this branch) will be hand chosen.
(LIMIT: 6, unless not aspiring to move forward, then you may become a Factotum even if 6 are chosen)
SWwG
Custos: Guardians of the pack, the second to head into battle. They are even more muscley than the Bellums and can take a bigger beating, much more resistance! They are constantly trained, even when their Teachers aren't training them, others in the pack will often test their strength and resistance, respectfully.
Low Tier
Litter Permissions: May not have litters (Elder is an exception, though at this age is too old to continue to have pups)
Jobless Class
SWe
Elder: The old, far too old to continue their older assigned rank(s). They often share their wisdom with others, including the leaders, and share stories with the young. Very respected among the pack.
SWa
Apprentice: A youngster ready to train under their selected class! They will be assigned a teacher, to guide them and teach them of their newly appointed class.
SWp
Young: The young of the pack. They are not yet old enough to become an apprentice and will stay by their mothers until' old enough.
SW
Finis: The 'Omega' of the pack, they are bossed around and often given dirty work, watching the Young while the mothers go out to relax a bit, or tend to the Elders and their needs, or perhaps shoved about just for fun.
SWr
New Comer: A new recruit of the pack. Once they have proven themselves worthy they are permanently marked and are able to choose a rank from the Fighter Class or Seeker Class.
