alpha male
He is the main wolf in control, and sets the laws of his pack. He is not required to hunt with the pack, but most normally do. His position demands respect, and he is in the position to exile, banish, or even kill those who do not show it. Though it is rare, this position can be challenged and if the challenger wins the fight then the challenger, being the new alpha, can do what he/she pleases with the previous leaders. This does not normally happen because it would result in a huge change within the pack.
alpha female
This position will be chosen in role-play, or by the most fitting form filled out for the role if the person so desires. They share many of the same roles, and are equal in title despite the social assumption of alpha male being at the top. While her mate, the alpha male, is most often in charge of concerns outside of the den, and other political events; the alpha female tends to run the on-goings within the dens, and concerns herself with the well-being of individual members. However, she may participate in either role, just as her mate has the same privilege.
beta male
He is the second in command to the alpha ,and enforces the law when the current alpha is not present. If both of the alpha die then the beta(s) take the alpha position and lead the pack, unless the alpha has said otherwise. This position cannot be challenged without the alpha approval. The male beta follows a more direct course under the alpha male, and is often responsible for directing daily tasks, or leading battle parties. Although not always necessary, it is encourage that the betas be mates, and when appointed they are often elected as a couple in the first place.
*note: this role will be chosen either on the first, and best form, or on the beta female's eventual mate

If both of the alpha die then the beta(s) take the alpha position and lead the pack, unless the alpha has said otherwise. This position cannot be challenged without the alpha approval. The female beta follows a more direct course under the alpha female, and is often responsible for directing daily tasks as well, or leading hunting parties.

sentinel
There are four sentinels, two mated pairs, in the pack. Each pair is specially chosen by the alphas and betas. The alphas and betas train the sentinels to take their places if anything should happen to them. The sentinels, since becoming one can start as early as one year, don't usually have authority over the pack unless the alpha or beta have publicly given it to them. They are respected though. Messing with a sentinel is messing with the alphas and betas themselves. This rank cannot be challenged whatsoever. They lead everyday patrols, and are under the training of their superiors, but are also in charge of training the cadets. They seek assistance from their hunters, and warriors in training the cadets, or in other tasks.
healers
They are the medics of the pack, knowledgable in herbs. They have vast knowledge upon what plants and other natural resources will help cure and heal others. They have a natural sense of the world, and the things that exist in it. Innovative, and vitally important to the well-being of the pack they are often level-headed, and are sought for wisdom, and help by their superiors. It takes guts to argue with them, and they demand respect similar to the alpha, and are expected to enforce the law, and inherit the code.
warriors
They are the guardians and protectors of the pack. The warriors will roam the pack lands ensuring it's safety. They are the ones that will keep watch at night. The warriors must be quick to think and remain calm in any given situation. Though these are their routine tasks, they are trained in both fields of work, and may participate in either depending on where they are needed.
hunters
They are primary hunters of the pack, and excellent tracking, and navigational skills. The hunters are often out throughout the day, or days at a time, but are given long breaks every couple weeks. Though these are their routine tasks, they are trained in both fields of work, and may participate in either depending on where they are needed.
cadets
These are the lowest ranked members - next to the omegas - of the pack, and serve as the hunters, and warriors in training. They are often left as sitters of any pups in the pack when the adults go out on parties. They work on both skills starting at the age of eight months, and finish their apprenticeship at fourteen months. Once they reach the end of their apprenticeship they often receive their hardest assessment, and are sent on a vigorous challenge, sometimes lethal depending on the class of cadets. It strengthens them, and weeds out the weak. This challenge determines the pup's course in the world, whether they stay in the pack, or are banished based on failure, whether they are candidates for eventual sentinel, or to do as most do, and flow into the main body of the pack.
milk-giver(s)
Fairly self-explanatory, these are the mothers within the pack. However, earning this respected, and cherished rank is no easy task. In order to be mated, and have pups blessed by the ancestors, and spirits they must be accepted by the alpha pair. Which means it is against pack code for a member to have pups without the alpha's consent. However, when it is given there is often a celebration, and the milk-giver is expected to stay away from their normal duties once they have reached forty days of expectancy (out of 62-75 days). They will remain with their pups for the next 6 months, but in the last two months before becoming cadets the females may return to their normal duties if they wish.
pups
This is also self-explanatory, but they are the most protected beings in the pack. If one falls terminally ill, or has a disorder it is under the decision of the alphas, betas, and sentinel to determine if they stay in the pack, and remain their responsibility, or are sentenced to honored death.
omegas
The omegas are the lowest of low in the pack, lower than the subordinates. They receive a few opportunities to earn a proper rank, but they are often difficult. They are only placed in this position if they've done anything to disrespect the alpha. Sometimes a new member may be placed with this rank if the alpha is a bit mistrustful of them.
