Leader ranks are given access to the Leader Hideout forum. All leader ranks, from Alpha to Gamma, are expected to assist in selecting ranks, choosing a monthly Spotlight Soul, and help run the pack in character. 

Alpha
2, one of each gender 
Greek: "α", the first letter of the alphabet. 
Alphas are the law within a pack. An alpha is responsible for the care of the pack, and are expected to maintain a strict hierarchy within a pack, as well as a sense of order. An alpha's duties range from organizing hunts with the Jager Fuhrer to accepting and rejecting newcomers at the pack borders. An alpha may also wish to maintain good relations with his or her neighbors.
Beta
2, one of each gender 
Greek: "β", the second letter of the alphabet. 
The Beta's chief duty is to keep the peace within a pack. If a dispute arises, the Beta is expected to be the official judge. Betas are to be sought out when a pack member has an argument with another. Betas are the pack's second in command, and are greatly respected in the hierarchy. A beta is expected to assist the alpha in all pack duties, especially at the borders.
Gamma
1, either gender 
Greek: "γ", the third letter of the alphabet. 
Gammas are the spies of the pack. Gammas monitor the other packs activity [for example, how many newcomers that pack is getting] and are expected to know this, and be able to report this information back to the alphas at any given time. Gammas are also responsible for aiding the alphas and betas with the exception process.

Re:Ranks

Date Posted:07/29/2016 11:41 AMCopy HTML

Member Ranks
Member ranks are the typical pack wolves, expected to perform the duties listed for them.
Altester/Altesterin
1, either gender 
German: Roughly means "elder." 
Altesters are often times one of the most experienced wolves in the pack, though not necessarily an aged wolf. Altesters are usually a long-time member, and have many tales of how the pack came to be, and history of members, as well. These "elders" are fountains of advice and entertaining stories.
Lehrer/Lehrerin
1, either gender 
German: Roughly means "trainer." 
The Lehrer is the trainer of the pack, responsible for teaching Lehrlings their place in the pack and also teaching them a skill useful to the pack.
Jager Fuhrer/ Jager Fuhrerin
1, either gender 
German: Roughly means "lead hunter." 
The Jager Fuhrer is the most skilled hunter of the pack, responsible for keeping track of possible food sources throughout the pack territories. The Jager assists the puppysitter in teaching any puppies of the pack how to hunt. The Jager is the leader of both the Jagerchen and the Jager Fischer.
Jager/Jagerin
2, either gender 
German: Roughly means "hunter." 
The Jagers are the hunters beneath the Jager Fuhrer. Jager Fuhrers and Jagers are expected to work closely together to monitor food supplies, teach young wolves hunting trades, and helping the Alphas lead hunts.
Wahrer/Wahrerin
1, either gender 
German: Roughly means "protector". 
This wolf is the head spaher. He or she is responsible not only for helping the alpha, beta, gamma, and spahers with border-duty but is also responsible for the pack's safety, as well as checking and making sure that little gets by the pack's borders without their knowing so. They are also somewhat of an "apprentice" to the gamma (though there is no guarantee that a Wahren will end up as a Gamma) in that they assist the gammas sometimes in their duties and also act as a bodyguard for the gamma.
Spaher/Spaherin
2, either gender 
German: Roughly means "scout." 
Spahers are the pack's pair of scouting wolves. Spahers are expected to assist at the borders, and also upkeep a secure pack territory. Any threats to the pack found out by the spahers are to either be dealt with immediately or reported to a higher authority. Spahers are responsible for showing newcomers to the pack the "ropes" of the pack.>
Graduierter/Graduierterin
1, either gender 
German: Roughly means "graduate." 
The graduierters are the "head lehrlings." They've already been trained by the Lehrer and are ready to move up into the upper ranks. The Graduierter may be responsible for assisting the Lehrer in training new Lehrlings.
Subordinate
Unlimited, either gender 
English: Means "subject to the authority or control of another". 
Subordinates are the general members of the pack, with no defined job. These wolves are responsible for assisting with every pack job.
Omega
1, either gender 
Greek: Last letter of the alphabet. Equivalent to "O". 
The omega wolf is the lowest ranking pack member. This rank is dealt out only as a punishment. Omegas must eat last at pack hunts, and are punished thoroughly if they are caught stealing before it is their turn.
Lehrling
3, either gender 
German: Roughly means "learner." 
Lehrlings are the official apprentices of the pack, and this is offical "adolescent" rank. Those between 7 and 12 months train and work towards improving their skills so that they might move up in the ranks and replace those that they are trained by when their trainers age or are injured/killed on the job. Lehrlings are trained by the other members of the pack, in the hopes that they can learn new skills and sharpen old ones.
Puppy Ranks
Erste (2), Zweite (1), Dritte, Vierte; used as needed: Fünfte, Sechste, Siebte, Achte, Neunte, Zehnte 
5, either gender 
German: Counting up: "first," "second," "third," etc. 
The puppy ranks are the loosest hierarchy of the pack. Their ranking system is much like a miniature adult ranking order, and the puppies "fight" to get on top of it. None of the ranks hold any special function, and the primary purpose of such a system is to educate the puppies on what it will be like when they are adults and in the real world.

Co-Ranks
Co-ranks are given to wolves with exceptionally special skills or a special talent. These skills are atypical and do not fall within a specific pack's ranking system, so a wolf with a special skill will be given a co-rank to perform his or her skill in. 

Apothecary
1-2, either gender 
English: Medic.
The Apothecary is responsible for knowing and memorizing healing techniques of the pack. An apothecary must be skilled in healing, and must prove this to the pack.
Aufpasser
1-2, usually female 
German: "Caretaker." 
The Aufpasser is the pack's puppysitter. Aufpassers are responsible for the pack's young and their safety. An Aufpasser must, at all times, have good knowledge of where the puppies in a pack are. This wolf is expected to teach puppies, with the assistance of parents [if applicable] skills they will need to know as adults. The aufpasser is definitely expected to teach the young puppies mannerism and the wolf laws.
Baird
1-2, either gender 
English: "Singer, storyteller" 
The baird is responsible for keeping pack traditions alive and well, and acts sort of as a storyteller for the pack. Often works closely with the aufpasser.
Jester
1-2, either gender 
English: Jokester 
The jester is the playful wolf of the pack responsible for comic relief. Jesters often start up games and playfights, and is the light-hearted spirit of the pack.

Pack Exclusive Co-Ranks
These co-ranks are like regular co-ranks, except they are only available to wolves of a particular pack.

Firestarter
Exclusive to: Chimera 
1-2, either gender 
English: One who starts fires.
A wolf with knowledge of starting, and controlling fires. Due to Chimera's lands being less than affluent, ash enriches the soil and makes the territory thrive when the weather conditions are good. The wolf is responsible for starting and maintaining fires that feed the sparse territory.
Forecaster
Exclusive to: Storm 
1-2, either gender 
English: Weather person.
The Forecaster is essentially the pack's weatherman/woman. They're knowledgeable on the subject of meteorology and should be able to read natural signs regarding changes in weather, severe or not. They can fairly accurately predict weather for such purposes as future pack hunts or gatherings, etc.
Terapueta
Exclusive to: Clouded Tears 
1-2, either gender 
English: Therapist.
The pack therapist. One of the pack's peace makers and mental health advisors. Helps wolves deal with any and all problems they may be facing, someone to talk to when no one else is around. Works closely with the pack's Apothecary.
Prolific
Exclusive to: Jaded Shadows 
1-2, either gender 
English: Producing abundant works or results.
Jaded Shadows seems to be something of a treasure trove of talent, with Sedition's wood carvings, Fatin and Thanos' painting, Shaeniire's storytelling, so this co-rank will celebrate a useful pack artistic talent that encompasses something different from the Baird in which no storytelling will be all that applicable, but instead other modes of expression.

Re:Ranks

Inferni Ranks
The Inferni ranks are quite different from pack ranks, as the Inferni prefer to have a smaller, stricter hierarchy, distinctly different from the wolf hierarchy. 

Fuhrer
2, each gender
German: Leader.
The main leader rank. Only two coyotes can hold this rank, female and male respectively. The leader is responsible for order and unity within the clan, and will not tolerate anything from those under her or his command—everyone in the clan is expected to adhere sharply to rules and orders given by the Fuhrer at all times.
Zweiten
1, either gender
German: Second. 
The secondary, "subleader" rank. Only one coyote may hold this rank and can be of either gender, as they serve as a head scout of sorts, often travelling along with the Ausblick and Soldat ranked coyotes to ensure that all of the borders are safe and well guarded.
Beirant
1, either gender 
German: Advisor. 
The "advisor" rank. Usually only held by one coyote of either gender, the Beirant serves as the ears and eyes of the leader amongst the lower ranked, often picking up on the morale of the clan. the Beirant serves also as a diplomat to "foreign" coyotes/wolves at the border. Often works close to the Fuhrer and Zweiten, in addition to the Ausblick ranked coyotes.
Soldat
1-2, either gender 
German: Soldier.
The "solider" rank. This rank is only merited to coyotes who prove to hold their own in spars or actual fights against a set opponent. They serve as Inferni's strongest defense and are often key users of tactical offensive and defensive manuvers to ensure the well-being of the clan.
Ausblick
6, either gender 
German: Scout 
The "scout" rank. Ausblicks are often relied on to watch the borders day and night for suspicious activity and are to report to those above them from time to time. The Ausblick rank is equal to Apotheke.
Apotheke
3, either gender 
German: Medic, literally, pharmacy. 
The "apothecary" rank. Apothekes are usually coyotes that are familiar with simple healing and/or have knowledge of caring for injured coyotes. However, if the placed coyote lacks the knowledge, he or she is required to learn.
Subordinate
Unlimited, either gender 
English: "Subject to the control of another." 
The "member" rank. Subordinates are more or less the lifeblood of the clan. While they do not have a set job, they often "shadow" their peers in hopes of gaining their rank. Subordinates are often coyotes who are newer, but usually have been within the clan for quite some time but have not proved themselves just yet.
Youth
Unlimited, either gender 
English: Young. 
the "puppy" rank. usually, those in the Youth rank are under a year, and are often born into the clan rather than accepted. Youths do not have a job, and are often watched by those in the Subordinate rank from an early age, Youths are taught right from wrong in the best possible ways available, and are also under a strict discipline by the adults.
Rogue
Unlimited, either gender 
English: Loner 
The "omega" rank. This rank is usually given to coyotes that are estranged from the clan or are extremely new. Rogues are coyotes who must prove themselves worthy in order to advance to Subordinate, and are also closely watched by those above them as coyotes in these ranks are sometimes drifters who do not wish to pledge anything to the clan, and are nothing more than dead weight.

~ I Am Wolf ~

I am wolf, I am one of a kind
I have been here since ancient time
Wakan Tanka Blesses me to be
My kind will always run wild and free

It is my nature to avoid you, I am human shy
You hunt me from helicopters across the sky
Then you shoot at me as I try to flee ... Why?
Why does your kind wish my species to die?
We wolves run together in a family pack
Always guarding ourselves against attack
I do not attack your home or farm
I only attack when you intend wolf harm

Wolf has no markets or stores for food supply
We hunt the forests and where open fields lie
You speak and spread your untrue words
That we attack your live stock and herds
Why does man wish to kill wolf by his lying?
We only take lives of old, weak and already dying
You hunt and kill for sport and greed
We only hunt when our families have need

You place animal head trophies upon your wall
to make your egos walk vain and tall
Wolf needs no trophies for others to see
We only wish to live and preserve our family ...
We mate for life and survival just as you ...
We grieve for our lost ones same as you do
Why can we not share a new dawn ....
Let me be free to howl the moon my song

Loyalty and courage shines from my eyes
I am spirit of the wild that never dies
I am brother wolf, asehi ... I am he
I will always run the winds free ...
