To Find Our Way Home (wolf roleplay)

"To Find Our Way Home" is a wolf roleplay about a wolf pack who travels each and every day trying to find their way back to the place where the pack once lived many, many years ago. But since the pack hasn't lived in that area for such a long time, a new wolf pack had taken over their old home and that is pretty much the whole plot and conflict in this roleplay! Not only that, the alpha pair's young adult offspring have started a sibling rivalry as to figure out which sibling is best and which one of them will deserve to follow in their parents' pawsteps and grow up to be leader of the pack. Also, humans also will be allowed in this roleplay because we may come up with a new plot involving them.

Ranks & Descriptions!

The Superiors

Alphas are the leaders of the pack. Look to each pack member as family and make important decisions reflecting the growth and welfare of the pack. Make sure all pack rules are enforced. Decide on ranking, assessments, and banishments of wolves either temporary or permanently. Call pack hunts and decides when and where to hunt, along with the Betas and Hunters. Have the final say so in everything, yet act only for the good of their pack.
Number per pack: 2, one of each gender!

Betas are the second highest ranked wolves within the dominance hierarchy. Show commitment and loyalty to the pack. Help the Alphas in decision-making however they do not have a final say. Take over as Alphas when they are not present. Answer to no one but the Alphas, but are expected, as with all members, to show respect and loyalty to every wolf in the pack. Have the right to ban a wolf from pack territory if that wolf shows multiple disobediences to the pack rules, such as fighting other pack members. May call hunts along with the Hunters.
Number per pack: 2, one of each gender!

Important Ranks

Healers are wolves in each pack committed to the role of healing and curing wounded or sick pack members. Trusted by the Alphas to perform duties such as being in charge of curing/healing pack members within their pack, caring for the sick and wounded, being hospitable towards each wolf no matter who they are or where they've come from, and having an impressive knowledge of herbs and their uses. Usually have gentle, kind, and calm personality traits about them. Inform the Alphas & Betas both to tell them how a member is doing or to tell them that the member has almost healed completely, but might suggest them to not do a certain job for a specific amount of time.
Number per pack: No limit on amount, mostly depends on the pack's demand for healers

Healers in training are wolves just past the age of students who have chosen to train with the Healers in order to take on that role after enough training. Duties are less complicated than Healers, since they do not do any duties similar. If however, the Healer in training happens to become sick as well due to the exposures, their duties will be carried out by one of the Healers who is willing. Have duties such as informing the Healer if they suspect a pack member might need their assistance, keeping up with herbal stocks, and aiding the Healer when they are needed.
Number per pack: No limit on amount, mostly depends on the amount of healers currently in a pack or if a healer is hoping of retiring or too old to perform the duties it used to be able to perform.

Nannies are wolves that can be of both genders who care, pup-sit, or raise a litter of pups of their own. Their job is to ensure the pack's youth is in good health and make sure the future generations of the pack are safe. Nannies who happen to have pups themselves are allowed to watch their own young only, but most of the time they pitch in to watch over some other pack member's pups. Usually show a sense of protectiveness, gentleness, but also responsibility. Duties must not be confused with that of the Teachers of the pack. Are only there to keep an eye on the pups, either by feeding them, defending them from enemies, or by simply being their play-mates.
Number per pack: No limit on amount

Teachers are wolves in each pack with the duty of training Students all about social structure/behavior and other skills needed to be intergraded into the pack come their second year. Need to be tough and dominant, to help keep the unruly Students in line, but patience and some degree of playfulness aid in the long and difficult process of handling Students.
Number per pack: No limit on amount

Elders are the wisest members of the pack. Know the ways for they are the most knowledgeable and yield the most experience. Usually the oldest members of the pack. Elders' opinions are greatly respected and are often role models for the younger members of the pack and sometimes even the superior members. Elders tend to have a better knowledge of helping newcomers to learn the ways of the pack. Best to respect them or be put in your place by the Alphas and Betas if it comes down to it or even banned or chased off by a Sentinel.
Number per pack: No limit on amount

Different Mid-rankers

Sentinels are similar to Scouts in the way of patrolling the territory however Sentinels also watch over newcomers and make sure they have good intentions when it comes to the pack. Ensure the packs safety by doing so. Make sure there isn’t any fighting among the pack members and if a fight breaks out they are to report it to the Alphas and Betas so it will be handled appropriately. Have the right to chase off or ban wolves from the pack territory if they are continuously causing trouble, but all incidents are reported to the Alphas.
Number per pack: No limit of amount

Hunters are those who have a talent or skill at tracking, hunting, and sneaking up on prey. Lead hunts along with the Alphas and Betas. Usually the wolf's size, senses, and intelligence of their surroundings that makes them a valuable hunter. Since part of their duties involves stamina, speed, endurance, and stealth, all wolves who are training to be in this rank must be fully capable of completing all of these duties while being trained as a Student.
Number per pack: No limit on amount

Fighters of the pack are those who are best and have a certain skill for fighting. Lead their pack members into battle alongside the Alphas & Betas. Usually know the best tactics for taking down or chasing off enemies such as loners or rival pack members that may be intruding the pack's territory.
Number per pack: No limit on amount

Scouts are the eyes and ears of the pack. Their job is to go out on patrols and make sure loners haven’t entered onto their pack territory as well as any other dangers that could harm a pack mate or the entire pack itself. The moment danger is spotted they are to return and report their finding to the Alphas and Betas to ensure safety among the pack. Are not to take on any other task that could put them in harm's way. Are to immediately return to where the pack is to inform it’s superiors.
Number per pack: No limit on amount

Lower Ranks

Students are young wolves older than the age of 8 months who have begun training to gain their own place in the pack. Although a bit playful still, if the Teachers discipline them enough, they will be good at learning new skills.
Number per pack: No limit on amount

Pups are wolves younger than 8 months who are still a bit to young to be taught anything, but still they hold significance to the pack.
Number per pack: No limit on amount

Omegas are the lowest ranking wolves in a pack. Usually a young wolf still learning the ways of the pack even if they are born into the pack. Can also be a wolf that has been lowered in rank due to incorrect or unwanted actions. Usually take on the role of the scapegoats, the ones to humiliate, and the "punching bags" for other pack members. Although they often get treated badly, they are a crucial role in a pack. Use their ways of playfulness and humor to relieve tension in their pack, and also to entertain them.
Number per pack: No limit on amount
