    Name:
    Aiyanna
    Gender:
    Female
    Age:
    4 years
    Rank:
    Subordinate
    Personality:
    A wolf cultured with experiences, there are few situations that unnerve Aiyanna. She's coated in steel, in the figurative sense, and will not easily bend under petty, lashing words. Rolling onto her back to bear her tender underside is not an action the female has ever known, then again she's never been faced with a wolf she felt demanded authority. Her lack of submission has caused an uproar in her past, forcing her into independence. Her three years of solitude had cured her into a quiet, tactile creature, always waiting within the shadows, cultivating a plan, before stepping into the light. The lack of a pack had also made her a sly, deceptive wolf. The traits were the only ones she could turn to without the help of other wolves in activities that demanded more than one body. While Aiyanna will not immediately jump to physical decisions, she is always on edge, always watching for signs that let on that physical defense/offense may be her only option. When it comes to protecting herself, or her loved ones, there is no second breath.
    History:
    Aiyanna was not dealt a lucky hand in life, nor a blood right. She was born to an Omega in a pack that did not allow births outside of the Alphas' family. Her mother was flimsy, careless, and her father was a loner that was never in the picture. Come the month of her birth, he mother set out to nest in solitude, taking up in a den used previously for the last generation of Alphas. The wolf was not quick on her feet, unfortunately, and did not think of the aspect that the den was still within the territory, and close enough that the pack could smell the blood. She was born into a litter of two, the other a male. While the pack took mercy on the two defenseless pups, her mother was exiled, left to survive alone and weak from her pregnancy.
    As Aiyanna grew, she began to demonstrate her dominant, unyielding personality at a young age. The Alphas thought nothing of it, just a pup that had yet to learn her place. But even as an adolescent, when her brother and peers whined and dropped onto their packs before the others, she stood placid, an abrasive sheen in her amber-orange eyes. It was the start of her own rebellion, of an Omega that was just as, if not more, dominant than her Alphas.
    Despite being punished, she kept on with her actions, the same disrespectful glare and stance. Upon her first year, it was determined that she was unfit to be in a pack. In her mind, that simply meant exile, an escape from the pack she did not blend with, but, because of her Omega status, she was not taught that it also meant they would mark her for all packs to know she was untrustworthy, if she survived the ritual. Escorted to an area of the territory where rock encircled a small opening and prevented her from leaving without barreling through a line of wolves, the Alpha Male attacked her.
    She had expected as much, given the circumstances, and readily defended herself. Untrained by the pack, Aiyanna depended solely on instinct and the fighting techniques she had observed in spurts. Most wolves would not defend themselves during the ritual as they felt ashamed and deserving of their fate, so it was a surprise when Aiyanna managed to clamp her jaw around the tender skin of the Alpha's throat, tugging and shaking until she could rise to her feet and he backed away. While she was left with multiple lacerations, all of which are still faint scars on her body, she left alive and with a newly found power.
    It is no lie that Aiyanna was not built for pack life, especially when she's long forgotten the inner workings of a family, but she is not a lost cause. Given a wolf she can see the dominance in and a pack she can readily trust, she would be willing to relearn the structure of pack life and attempt to mold back into normalcy.
    Family:
    Her mother is presumably dead, her father's whereabouts are unknown, and her brother is most likely still in their birth pack.
    Mate/Pups/Crush:
    She has no mate, nor any pups. As for a romantic interest, she is open to possibilities.
    Other:
    Aiyanna has russet brown fur with a cream underside and various darker brown markings. She is lean, built mainly for stealth and agility, but able to hold her own ground. Several scars mar her sides and muzzle, turning the fur a muddled white color and the skin a healing pink. Her eyes are an unnerving, intimidating shade of amber.[/size]

    [justify][font=verdana][color=grey][size=7pt]Aiyanna narrowed her eyes at Desai's decision. He was taking a serious risk of either being fatally injured or killed by standing off alone with a bull. She hoped that, for the sake of Kopa, the pack, and himself, that he had a stroke of luck with the wapiti. Another lash of teeth towards the cow's shoulders was sent out, ivories sinking into the thick winter coat and flesh with laughable ease. The wolf dug her claws into the snow beneath her paws, hoping they would find some sort of leverage as she tugged at the cow. Its hind hoof came forth, grazing her hindquarter sharply. The subordinate let out a pained growl, releasing the cow and, because of the kick, stumbling back into a trot. Aiyanna shook the pain away briefly and started back into a sprint to catch the stride of cow.


    Rather than continuing her assault, she glanced back at Desai just in time to see both he and the elk charging at each other for several feet before skidding to a halt once more. A worried growl slipped past her maw as she considered going against his word of staying with the cow. She went with her gut.


    He may have been the next Alpha, but he was still only a wolf, and a dead one would be no use to the pack. The lean wolf stepped carefully so as not to startle the bull into a charge as she came closer to Desai. He already had the animal intimidated, which she was impressed by considering he was alone and it was unlike him to act anything other than immature (then again she hasn't been around long enough to see many sides to him). Slowing her pace to a walk, she stood at his flank, mimicking his stand-offish body language to let the bull know he was dealing with two wolves willing to fight. Aiyanna's claws dug into the snow, desperately searching for the soil she had come to reside in for a sense of stability and strength. Amber eyes focused on the large, sharpened horns of the bull and she tried not to think of what it would be like to choke on her own blood if the animal were to pierce her throat. All she could do now was pray the elk would back down; she would deal with the repercussions, if there were any, of going against Desai's word later.

    [size=7pt]cccc: I'm glad you like the idea!! There will definitely be a lot of fighting between them, I feel, so I hope you're ready for that cx You know how I was saying they mess something up and get in trouble with the higher ups? Maybe while they're scouting the territory together, they're not really paying attention to their surroundings and they walk right into the area of a hibernating grizzly bear. Of course they stop in the vicinity to hash some things out, get in a bit of a fight, and all the noise wakes the bear up. They definitely can't fight it alone, being only two wolves against a huge bear, so they run off away from the pack in hopes of leading it away, which they do. But as they're going back to the pack, the bear picks up on them again and follows them back.
    A few wolves would probably get hurt before the pack realized and they all had to work to take the bear down.


    Wild, would this be okay with you since it would rile the entire pack and not just Aiyanna and Rubare? It could be right after Kopa's death and the first time Desai really scolds the pack (namely Aiyanna and Rubare, and after the bear is scared off or dead) and talks like an Alpha to the majority. c:[/size]

    [justify][font=verdana][color=grey][size=7pt]Taking several quick steps forward, a snarl curling up her throat and out her maw, and hackles raised so a ridge of russet brown fur elevated along her spine and around her neck, Aiyanna hoped to spook the bull. With Desai acting the same way, it was only a matter of time before they backed the animal away from what now was theirs. Her eyes darted, briefly, to the hunters, who were, one by one, disappearing into the forest after the cow. The territory line was only a short ways away, and, despite the cow being sickly, it was still too big to drag back to the pack grounds. They would have to eat what they could there and take the risk of scavengers, not to mention the wolves that Desai had mentioned earlier. It dawned on her, then, that this could turn out badly if they killed the cow outside of pack territory.


    "Desai," she spoke between bared teeth and snarls. "We need to push him back now and stop the cow from leaving the territory."



    [[ Yeah, I figured that's what you were doing with Desai c: I hope you don't mind that I threw Aiyanna in for a bit of support!


    Dream - Wolves are either still at the den site or the hunting grounds. At the hunting grounds, they've split into three groups. Some are watching and waiting to act as back up if something goes wrong, ther others are trying to hunt a sickly cow elk and stop her from leaving the territory (which she's about to do), and Desai and Aiyanna are trying to push back the bull elk to keep him from charging and harming everyone c: ]]

    [justify][font=verdana][color=grey][size=7pt]She could feel the frustration building in their air. From her, Desai, those hunting the cow, it all clumped together in a fog that rested heavily over the hunting grounds. She focused on the bull as Desai took a step back, mimicking his movements to help simulate that they were leaving. The bull let out an angry breath, the tendrils of mist clouding her view of his dark eyes, and scrapped a black hoof against the powdery snow. They stood idle for a moment, waiting for either one to make the next move. The elk turned his head in the direction his cow had been, searching the area only to find she had been enveloped in forestry and snowfall. Aiyanna shifted the weight on her front paws, waiting for him to react.


    Silence filled the space between them before, finally, the bull let out a screeching bugle in warning to she and Desai. With that, he took careful steps back to his herd. Aiyanna breathed in relief, even laughing as the tension melted from her shoulders. The softer side of her was short-lived, however, as she redirected her attention back to the cow. Without a word to Desai, she was moving, paws thumping against snow quickly as she sniffed the air for the faintest of scents.


    The canopy of trees overhead kept most of the snow out, though the dirt was still specked with white and the branches sagged with encumbrance. Several yards into the woods was the hunting party, snarling and snapping at the cow, who had been taken down just a few feet past the territory line. The animal yelled in pain. Aiyanna slowed her run to a trot as she approached them, ears twisting backwards as she took a wary glance around. There were no glaring signs of unknown entities in the woods around them, but it was only a matter of time before some sort of predator followed the cry of an injured animal.


    "Good job." She commended the work of her pack mates, stopping at the neck of the cow. "Desai should have the kill. I think we can all agree that he's earned it?" She took a quick glance at each pack member surrounding the cow before turning her gaze over her shoulder in the direction she had came, searching for brute.

    [justify][font=verdana][color=grey][size=7pt]A brute several inches taller and wider than Aiyanna approached her, his maw curled to show dense ivories. He was grey in color, coat limned in silver, blue, and red from their surroundings. A ferocious growl rumbled his body, stance that of a wolf ready to attack. She snarled at the threat, tail and hackles raising as she rushed towards him before he could even take another step. Jaws snapped with deadly force, both wolves grazing and ripping the fur of the other as they pushed chests in an angry tangle. She was the first to lock around flesh, tightening her grip on the male's nape until she felt her canines puncture skin and muscle, and the copper-salt of blood flooded her mouth. He wrenched away from her grasp with a half-snarl, half-yelp, and they stood a foot away from each other, panting and calculating their next attack.


    Again, Aiyanna was first to strike, gripping his muzzle and tugging it toward the ground. With the brute in the slightly submissive, lower stance, she rose onto her hind legs and directed her bite to his cervical spine as she held him down with her weight. If she could get a good grip, she could a major artery and nerve that would paralyze him. Seeing this, the wolf dropped to the ground as his only defense, squirming as she continued to snap at his vertebral column. Aiyanna had clamped her jaw around the section of flesh and bone just as he twisted his hind legs to quick her off. Rather than resting at their separation, she continued her onslaught. The force of her body hitting his already teetering one caused them to tumble backwards in a roll of claws and teeth. He landed atop of her, taking the chance to sink his teeth into the thick fur and the flesh of her throat. A yowl of pain escaped her maw as she dug her claws into his stomach, kicking him once, twice, three times before he stumbled off. The blood of her enemy dribbled from her muzzle and down the matted fur of her neck to mingle with her own blood, which was seeping out slowly but surely.


    Both wolves huffed with exhaustion and pain, though Aiyanna's was slowly fading as adrenaline coursed its way through her veins to keep her body from going into shock. A third time she lunged for the brute, scratching the idea of paralyzing him and going straight for the neck. They pushed and clawed at each other before both managed to grip the muscular area, snarling and tightening their grips until one fell limp. The she-wolf breathed heavily and blinked as spots of black clouded her vision. The adrenaline that had shot through her bloodstream seemed to fade into the background at this new force of teeth penetrating her flesh. The brute seemed to be growing larger, looming over her as he pushed her onto her back. Both of them were going down and the closer they got to the cool, hard ground, the more the brute leaned onto her. She growled weakly and managed to kick his lower half to the side, causing him to slip entirely so they plummeted the rest of the way. In a final burst of strength and defense, Aiyanna slammed her jaws as close together as possible. The result was a fresh river of crimson gore to pour into her mouth and splatter on the floor. The brute fell limp with a few final breaths, but even when they stopped, Aiyanna kept her steel grip. A moment of blurred vision and background snarls passed before she relaxed her jaw and slowly squirmed the rest of her body out from under the dead wolf.

    [justify][font=verdana][color=grey][size=7pt]Aiyanna moved at a leisurely pace, vivid amber eyes glazed with the exhaustion that came from a lack of sleep. She needed to cover ground, to get out of the stink of the swampland and the dangers that lurked in its still water, and to do so she sacrificed a night of rest.


    The trees were tall and languid, some pridefully erect while others bent courteously over placid paths. They were scattered in clumps and lines all throughout the woods, a delicate lace on the hems of many chartreuse and saffron fields, dark opaque backgrounds for flowered bushes and wild climbing gardens. The thin strands of grass that sprouted from the ground and peaked past the litter of branches and leaves licked at the pads of her paws, tasting the sandpaper of the flesh and offering it softness. Overgrowth grazed at her sides and back in several spots, tracing ghostly lines that wind mimicked once she had escaped their grasp. The sprinkle of rain dampened her fur, forcing the top layer down to a state of submission.


    She watched from the ground as birds gathered in the trees, snipping at the first drops of rain, which the molting creatures knew to be the sweetest. A musky scent caused her eyes to flicker upon the path once more, noting the unusual scratchings on the damp bark of various trees. The dribbling morning rain came to a halt. Padding closer, the wolf examined the claw marks, trying to decipher the source of the scarring lines. Wolf or bear? Or perhaps something alien to her. She hoped for none, that a bird had had some odd reason to peak and scratch at trees. Aiyanna was tapping into foolish hope, however. Her lips curled back in a silent growl, teeth bare to the frigid kiss of the morning air, and moved forth a little faster.

    [justify][font=verdana][color=grey][size=7pt]The subordinate moved lethargically, head bent unusually low for such a prideful, domineering wolf. Her paws skidded forth rather than picking up and falling down in a typical movement as she tried to gain her bearings, to jostle the pain carving up and down her spine to the side so she might focus on the danger at hand. Aiyanna glanced upwards through the fog of her heavy breaths, eyes flickering from wolf to limp wolf, limp wolf to wolf. Those of the pack that were here were still standing, though injured and bleeding, while the some of the wolves on the aggressors side were being blanketed in a thin snow fall.


    Another wolf padded into the fray, one she had not seen at the start of the fight. She held herself high, off-white fur blending with the backdrop of snow. Undoubtedly, she was a high rank in the neighboring pack. As she moved, eyes forever set on Desai's inky fur, her throat rumbled with growls when she passed wolves of her pack, who immediately unlatched their jaws from fur and flesh and took several steps back.


    [[ I hope you don't mind, but I figured we should stop the fighting before they kill too many wolves, so I threw the neighbor's Beta in. She's calling for a ceasefire of her wolves and is going up to Desai to declare that, as well as leave a subtle threat xT
    I'll take it out if you'd prefer to go about a different route c: ]]

    [size=7pt]I don't have any outstanding plots for Aiyanna and your wolves, but I have some ideas to at least start relationships cx


    Aiyanna joining the pack
    Aiyanna has no real reason to join the pack, she's just passing through the territory. I'm not really sure what would make her stay/join though... I'm not sure if Maze is the giving type when it comes to a loner in his territory, but if he is, perhaps he offers to let her rest for a few days and plan a safer route of travel? The way she's heading is known to be where bears wander, and beyond that is the rival pack, who aren't as lenient with wolves (either they rough them up or kill them)? If you decide this idea is fine, Aiyanna would stay for the few days given to her, remember just how invigorating it is to be surrounded by other wolves, and ask to stay.


    Aiyanna & Maze
    When Aiyanna does become part of the pack, she hasn't shown any of her headstrong, ignorant, dominance yet, so when she does it would be a bit of an ordeal, I imagine. I don't know what the situation should be yet, but it should be something where Maze scolds her and she immediately just raises her head and tail and returns the snarl. It looks like she's challenging him as an Alpha, but she's just unaware that she did something that wasn't beneficial to the pack and now she's defending herself against what she sees as a threat. Maze would obviously bowl her over onto her back and bite at her throat, or whatever you have him do to reprimand Aiyanna, which gives her very bitter feelings towards him. As time goes on and she relearns pack structure, she'll see her mistake and that bitterness will turn to respect seeing as she appreciates more sensible, rational authority figures.


    Aiyanna & Salem and/or Midna
    Being that Aiyanna had been on her own since the age of 1, she doesn't really know the whole pack structure, and what she did know has been repressed because of the negative feelings she had towards it in her birth pack. She definitely understands dominance, though, having an authoritative personality herself. Because of the ignorance of the hierarchy on her part, she's a lot like a pup/apprentice/rogue in the way that she will be very disrespectful without knowing it and 'talk back' when being disciplined, which will get her in a lot of trouble with Maze, Ebony, and Kavik. So I was thinking that Salem and/or Midna could kind of take her under their wing and teach her right from wrong as far as pack structure goes? It would instill in her trust in other wolves, which she's never really had, and show the pack that she's not some wild wolf that they may potentially have to exile; she's capable of change given a wolf that has the patience to teach her and deal with her aloofness.


    Aiyanna & Maverick
    I imagine Aiyanna will start as an Omega in the pack, especially after her show of aggression towards Maze, so she and Maverick will be spending a looooooot of time together. Where Salem and/or Midna tell her her mistakes when she makes them, Maze perhaps gives Maverick the responsibility of showing Aiyanna the ropes in the pack? He would have to show her all of the spots to avoid and all of the spots that have the most plentiful prey (etc, etc), and I just think their relationship could be cute cx If he's as flirty as you say he is, he'd probably try a line on her upon their first meeting to which she would growl and bare her teeth at, which would make him think she's playing hard to get and being 'fiesty'.



    If there's anything you don't like or any alterations you'd like to make, by all means, let me know~![/size]

    [justify][font=verdana][color=grey][size=7pt]Aiyanna watched the unfamiliar Beta carefully. She seemed to move in a glide rather than the trot of an animal. Elegance was all around her, body svelte, legs long and then. The poise about her spoke of regality, a strength not only in personality, but rank. Despite all of this, a perpetual scowl seemed to be etched on the lines of her face. The subordinate moved closer to her pack, jaw clenching as she hid the limp in her front right leg and pushed back the pain. Her expression remained still, idle as she watched this new wolf.






    [justify][font=verdana][color=grey][size=7pt]Zara stopped before Desai, perhaps too close for comfort for anyone other than her. Her eyes, a pale grey, continued to burn through the heir of Slough Creek, sizing him up through the expression in his eyes. The wolves behind her, bloody and battered, let out low, mocking growls, which caused her gaze to break from the brute as she whipped her head over her shoulder to let out a single, ear-pinning snarl. Her pack silenced once more at the command, lowering their heads in almost perfect unison and averting their eyes to the ground. "Desai," Eyes back on the male, she spoke his name as if they were old friends, though the teeth bared to him suggested a more bitter history. "I've not seen you since you were a pup." Her voice was melodic, enchanting, musical notes that made one lean forward in fear that one would never hear them again. "Tell me, is your father dead yet? Surely he would not have allowed such a pointless slaughter to occur." Her brow raised quizzically. "It wouldn't surprise me if his heart stopped after hearing the news that his pack is filled with bestial murderers." She gave bored glances to the Betas, who seemed to move closer to Desai as she spoke. A curt, mocking breath left her maw as she took them in, as if to laugh at the seconds of the pack.


    "Alphas have been dropping like flies at the paws of our pack." Grey eyes shifted back to Desai, a dark curl in her tone. "It would do you and your father good to remember that." Without waiting to let the wolf speak, she turned at her own pace, another throaty growl allowing her wolves to rise from their submissive state only to sprint off into the woods and back to their territory.

    [fancypost borderwidth=0px; width: 450px;][justify][font=cambria][size=8][color=#b3b3b3]FERINE
    [adjective]
    feral; wild and menacing; untamed.
    Etymology: from Latin ferīnus, ”of wild animals”, from fera, ”wild beast”.


    The trees are tall and languid, some pridefully erect while others are bent courteously over placid paths. They are scattered in clumps and lines all throughout the woods, a delicate lace on the hems of many chartreuse and saffron fields, dark opaque backgrounds for flowered bushes and wild climbing gardens. The thin strands of grass that sprout from the ground and peak past the litter of branches and leaves lick at the pads of your paws, tasting the sandpaper of the flesh and offering it softness. Overgrowth grazes at your sides and back in several spots, tracing ghostly lines that wind mimics once you've escaped their grasp. The sprinkle of rain dampens your fur, forcing the top layer down to a state of submission. Rooks sits in the oak branches above your head, some warbling while others snap at the first drops of rain, which the molting creatures know to be the sweetest, like grapes bursting on their tongues. You're at peace in the hands of the mountains, the deep swirls of life in the forests. A melodic, guttural howl sounds in the distance, several more joining the chorus.

    [size=15px]RELIGION/PHILOSOPHY


    [fancypost borderwidth=0px; height: 252px; width: 480px; overflow: auto;][justify]It is believed by the Ferine that the world was once divided by fire and ice; untamed and unlivable. For centuries, lava and water fought for ground, for dominance, until Fenrir, a great wolf that watched the Earth amongst the stars, came upon the world in a rage. He pushed the fire into the depths of the rock the Ferine call home, and settled the water into bodies and streams. Mountains and valleys were created, the true terrain of the Earth coming forth from beneath the massacre that was before. As the world became habitable, Gods and Goddesses of every species descended to lay their creations onto a new world, Fenrir being the father of wolves and those like them. Unfortunately, the Elder One had no place, no joy, on the earth once life sprang forth, nor did any other Gods, so they created one last time. From their own souls, they crafted two more of each creation: a soul of the night and a soul of the day. For the wolves, these souls are referred to as Hati (the chaser of the sun, the father of all black wolves) and Sköll (the chaser of the moon, the father of all white wolves).


    Each species of animal has a black and a white soul, and those souls all have specific duties to carry out in order to keep the world from returning to fire and ice. Unlike their God and Goddess parents, these souls are mortal, though their longevity is roughly 200 years. Like their parents, they are allowed to walk among the earth at their will, though staying for too long will disrupt the balance of the world. At the end of the souls' lives, those living on earth and of the species are chosen at death to take their place and live on in their name. The rest are sent to the constellations to run with Fenrir.[/fancypost]


    [size=15px]RANKS


    [fancypost borderwidth=0px; height: 280px; width: 480px; overflow: auto;]

    [size=12px]UPPER TIER
    [justify]Alphas [1/2] The most dominant among the pack, these wolves are responsible for leading, guarding, and nurturing. They are typically the first to respond to unknown, unfamiliar sensations and are the only ones in power to call for decisions regarding the well being of the pack. Two wolves act as Alphas, a male and a female, and are always bonded mates. Any wolf from any rank can challenge the role of the Alpha(s).


    Betas [2/2] Second to the Alphas, both have the same responsibilities as their higher-ups and are required to perform them when the leaders are busy/absent. Betas are turned to for lesser questions and problems among the pack, and offer opinions and guidance when sought to the Alphas. Two wolves act as Betas, a male and a female, and do not have to be mates. Gammas can rise from their rank and request a challenge for Beta if the Alphas feel they are trustworthy and the current Beta(s) is/are failing.


    Gammas [0/2] The ears and eyes within the pack, Gammas are Sigmas that report any trouble, concern, defiance, etc to the Alphas. Two wolves act as Gammas, a male and a female, and do not have to be mates. Any wolf from any rank can rise and be nominated for the rank by the Alphas.


    Upsilon [0/1] The spiritual leader and healer of the pack. He/she tends to be a pacifist and are always left with several guards in a fight/time of war. Protecting the Upsilon is just as important as protecting the Alphas and the young because without him/her, there is no healing the pack. One wolf of either gender acts as Upsilon until he/she is rendered unfit for the job. The Epsilon is the only wolf allowed to rise to the rank of Upsilon.


    Rhos [0/∞] The retired upper tier wolves. When a hard decision comes to the pack, the Alphas will bring it to the Rhos to vote on. Other than occasionally helping with decisions, they reinforce rules and teach wolves younger than them. Wolves of either gender act as Rhos, but only the upper tier is allowed to retire to the rank.


    [size=12px]UPPER-MIDDLE TIER
    [justify]Etas [0/2] The head scouts. They arrange patrols of the territory, search parties, scouts for new land and/or prey, and train Deltas the art of scouting. Two wolves act as Etas, a male and a female, and do not have to be mates. Any wolf that shows outstanding skill in scouting may rise to the rank.


    Thetas [0/2] The head hunters. They arrange hunting parties, track scents, and teach Deltas the art of tracking and hunting. Two wolves act as Thetas, a male and a female, and do not have to be mates. Any wolf that shows outstanding skill in hunting and tracking may rise to the rank.


    Zetas [1/2] The head warriors and guardians. They arrange groups of fighters, guard the pack, and teach Deltas the art of guarding and fighting. Two wolves act as Thetas, a male and a female, and do not have to be mates. Any wolf that shows outstanding skill in guarding and combat may rise to the rank.


    [size=12px]MIDDLE TIER
    [justify]Sigmas [0/∞] The mass and soul of the pack, Sigmas are the adult wolves within the pack. They perform all tasks, such as hunting, guarding, scouting, collecting, etc, with most specializing in one or two. Wolves of either gender act as Sigmas.


    Deltas [0/∞] The adolescent wolves of the pack. They are in a stage of growing, learning, and discovering, and thus are allowed room to explore their passions and experiment with possible ranks. Their training lasts from age one to age two, in which they are either offered an upper tier rank, a middle tier leader rank, or appointed to the Sigma rank. Wolves of either gender act as Deltas.


    Epsilon [0/1] An epsilon is chosen at birth by the Upsilon. From that point, they will be introduced to the religion and philosophy of the pack as well as the healing remedies they believe in and use. At age one, the Epsilon becomes the Upsilon's apprentice and works with him/her for the majority of the day on everything. They may raise to the rank of Upsilon once he/she steps down or passes away. One wolf of either gender is chosen as Epsilon.


    Iotas [0/∞] The pups of the pack. They are protected and raised by everyone. Wolves of either gender act as Iotas.


    Kappas [0/5] The pups of the Alphas. They are trained in hunting, scouting, fighting, and all are trained specifically to take on the title of Alpha, though the eldest will always be granted the right first. A Kappa's training starts at age one and ends at age three, and if they Alpha position has yet to open at that time, they must hold a middle tier rank until their time arises. The youngest Kappas tend to be overshadowed by the eldest in the way that they typically don't have the chance to become Alpha and stay in the middle tier for the rest of their natural lives.
    Currently not open as a rank.


    [size=12px]LOWER TIER
    [justify]Omegas [2/5] The lowest rank within the pack, Omegas have either failed to perform at the average level to become a Sigma or have fallen from their previous rank. While they are still cared for within the pack, they receive the least respect and opportunities. Wolves of either gender act as Omegas. All wolves can fall to the rank, but very few are allowed to climb to a higher rank.


    Omicrons [1/5] Loners and rogues who are not a part of the pack. Wolves of either gender act as Omicrons.


    Xis [0/∞] Bastard pups and newly joined wolves. The rank is temporary for all while the upper tier decides where they should be placed. They are required to be a Xi until the age of two, when their skills have been developed, or one year after joining, when the pack can determine a wolf's strengths.[/fancypost]

    A territory within the confines of the woods, Ferine wolves have no trouble going unseen with the nourished growth of the forest. Moss readily clings to most surfaces, grass and shrubbery covering whatever ground is left.

    Carved into the side of the Eastern Mountains by winds, the pack lives within the large, sheltered area. Most of it is open so a wolf is able to look up to the stars at night, but a deep concave of the rock between the two cleared spaces allows a more secure area for rest. The pack has gathered leaves and foliage to cover the rocky base of the cave for a more comfortable slumber.




    A natural path shrouded by the branches of drooping willow trees leads to the den. Fortunately, there is enough space on the path for three wolves to walk side by side without the worry of falling off. It's not encouraged that you walk on the edge, however, as the rock is known to crumble. The path splits into two, one heading into the den and the other leading to the top layer of rock that acts as a ceiling for the Caves.




    On the first level of the Caves, where the pack sleeps, the height is 345 feet from the ground below, and standing on the utmost layer will put a wolf 401 feet into the air.[/fancypost]

    Farther into the Southern area of the territory and near Oxbow Valley, you will find the nursing den. Expecting mothers go here to birth away from the chaos and excitement of the pack. The small area is close to the hunting grounds to make it easier for the mother to replenish her energy, but a bit of a walk from the Caves. Despite it being well hidden, a wolf of the mother's choosing is to patrol the area her entire stay there (typical stay is 2 1/2 months) and the Upsilon and Epsilon make daily visits.[/fancypost]

    The Dead Woods are held at the very far end of the Western and Southern Mountains. It is unknown to the pack why the area is bare and cloaked in fog year round, but those who are of the right of mind know to stay away from it. Wolves that were brave enough (and stupid enough) to enter the eerily dark area either returned nearly dead or not at all.




    The end of Glass River is within the woods, and, somewhere along the slopes, the calm flowing stream turns into unforgiving whirlpools and rapids that could bring down the strongest wolf.[/fancypost]

    At the base of the Southern Mountains is the long expanse of even, fruitful land known as Oxbow. A large watering hole and endless room to graze attracts most of the larger prey, the valley long enough that they can all move there herds there without seeing the other, bar near the water. Wolves are warned to be cautious here, however, as it is not uncommon for a stampede of multiple prey to happen.[/fancypost]

    Found at a location known only to Alphas, the Upsilon, and the Epsilon, the Soul Spring is sacred ground. A small hole in the ground leads to the large underground cavern and its pond of crystal water thought to have healing properties. Alphas often go there to seek the guidance of Fenrir and his sons, Hati and Skoll, through the Upsilon. The healer of the pack is chosen for the very reason that they have the closest bonds with the deities, allowing them to see answers through their eyes and wolves who are born as Epsilons. Among the Spring, the Upsilon is able to channel more focus and faster healing processes.




    Wolves who are gravely injured are brought here to be healed, though they must be blessed by the Upsilon before entering the sacred area. If wolves who were not welcomed into the area are caught/tracked down, the punishment ranges from no food for an extended period for Iotas and Deltas to a trial with a bear for adults.[/fancypost]

    Located on the Eastern Mountains, Aspen Heights is a place for the more agile wolves that wish to have a moment alone. It's no easy task to find a way to the single cliff across the way from the Caves and overlooking Glass River, but it's worth the struggle.[/fancypost]

    Named for the more diaphanous shallow ends, Glass River runs through the entire territory. It starts from a waterfall on the Northern Mountains and ends somewhere within the rapids and the waterfall leading into a deep pool of water within the Dead Woods.[/fancypost]
