[center][h2][color=39b54a]Introduction[/color][/h2]

[i][color=a2d39c]It's been almost a century since the war that ruined mankind and its reign upon the world ended. The human population now dwindles and small tribes now roam looking for game to hunt and food to eat. They've learnt to fend for themselves and rely on hunting us, game big or small, and harvesting berries or found foods to survive. 

We have become a threat to them and their survival as they had been once to us. We've thrived with the changes mother-nature has made to support her flora and fauna; we've increased in numbers and in some areas reign as the top predator. They're trying to bring us down once more, they want to catch us and tame us, though we aren't so easily broken.

We are the wolves of the new world, we run free through the lands of the Russian landscape and we survive through all means necessary in this place where man has become merciless against those who pose threat on their survival.[/color][/i][/center]

[center][h2][color=39b54a]Overview[/color][/h2]

[i][color=a2d39c]You are a wolf in this fresh world (now wolves are just wolves in this Role-Play nothing special, though I may possibly allow for them to talk if enough people prefer that option). The flora and fauna are thriving with the human race minimized to a sustainable size. You may choose to run as a loner or join a pack and learn to co-operate within these tightly knit groups.

I will arrange different things like hunts, human attacks or explorations throughout the RP, though it will be decently free for you to do as you like, interact with others, develop stories and enjoy running free. 

This Role-Play is expected to range from casual through to low-advanced, though I'm happy with at least 2 or more paragraphs[/color][/i][/center]

[center][h2][color=39b54a]Role-Play Rules[/color][/h2]

[i][color=a2d39c][b][color=fff200]1.[/color][/b] Respect those around you, this includes through PMs, OOC and IC. I understand IC disputes for story development, but picking on another character without consent will get you a warning.
[b][color=fff200]2.[/color][/b] No God Modding. Wolves are no extraordinary animals with the ability to do back flips or run like the speed of light, everyone's evenly matched when it comes to fights and if I feel you're doing something wrong I'll issue a warning.
[b][color=fff200]3.[/color][/b] Post regularly. I understand everyone gets busy, but if you suspect you may not be able to post or participate as much, please just let me know. If you go inactive for more than 4 days without warning I may NPC your character or move them off to the side until you return or they die off.
[b][color=fff200]4.[/color][/b] Romance is allowed, keep it simple and if you want to do anything else with your partner, take it to your PMs. Anything sexual is a large no-no and will result in a  warning.
[b][color=fff200]5.[/color][/b] And lastly, please follow all other RPG Rules & Policies.

Everyone gets [color=fff200]three warnings[/color] before being removed from the Role-Play. I'm fairly easy to get along with as long as you follow these and get along with everyone else nicely.[/color][/i][/center]

[center][h2][color=39b54a]Pack Information[/color][/h2]

[i][color=a2d39c]Every pack has its ranks, and every pack follows those ranks like a religion, without them they would not be able to fend for themselves, they would not be able to survive in the wilderness. 

Choosing a rank is a serious matter, all wolves who begin as a loner usually begin at the bottom as a subordinate once entering a pack, they must earn their rights or fight to reach the top.[/color][/i][/center]

[center][hider= Pack Ranks:]
[color=fff200][i]Not every rank will be filled, but this is a general overview of what can be chosen.[/i][/color]

[u][b][color=f26522]Alpha[/color][/b][/u]
([i]Usually Mates; 1 Male - 1 Female[/i])
[i][color=fdc68a]The alphas of the pack are the leader's. They are the main pair in control and set the laws of their pack. They are not required to hunt with the pack, but most normally do as it's a bonding experience. Most demand respect and are in the position to punish, 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, than 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.[/color][/i]

[u][b][color=f26522]Beta[/color][/b][/u]
([i]Usually Mates; 1 Male - 1 Female[/i])
[i][color=fdc68a]The Betas are second in command and enforce the law when the current alphas are not present. If both of the alphas die than the beta(s) take the alphas position and lead the pack, unless the alpha has said otherwise.[/color][/i]

[u][b][color=f26522]Sentinel[/color][/b][/u]
([i]Two Pairs[/i])
[i][color=fdc68a]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.[/color][/i]

[u][b][color=f26522]Elder[/color][/b][/u]
[i][color=fdc68a]The elders of the pack are seven years and older. They are filled with wisdom and renowned strength. They are the ones that the alphas normally go to for advice. If they are wise, the elders are the only ones to whom the alphas may submit themselves to. They are respected as much as the alphas by the entire pack.[/color][/i]

[u][b][color=f26522]Hunter[/color][/b][/u]
[i][color=fdc68a]While every pack member hunts, hunters are the skilled members who usually take the lead and guide the hunt. They are more agile and have more stamina in order to achieve their duty of providing for the pack.[/color][/i]

[u][b][color=f26522]Den Mother[/color][/b][/u]
[i][color=fdc68a]These are the pup sitters of the pack. They will keep watch over the pups when the others may be out hunting or at battle. Don't be fooled into thinking that they are weak and soft. On the contrary the pup watchers can be the most vicious members of the pack, as long as you don't mess with their pups. 
Den mothers only watch pups up until the age of nine months. There is only ever up to about three pup watchers in a pack regardless of the size.[/color][/i]

[u][b][color=f26522]Subordinate[/color][/b][/u]
[i][color=fdc68a]These are the non-ranked members of the pack. They will still participate in fighting and hunting though.[/color][/i]

[u][b][color=f26522]Omega[/color][/b][/u]
[i][color=fdc68a]The omegas are the lowest of low in the pack, lower than the subordinates. Don't be surprised if they don't receive much respect if any at all. 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.[/color][/i]

[u][b][color=f26522]Pup[/color][/b][/u]
[i][color=fdc68a]Pretty self explanatory. Pups do not leave the den nor do they hunt or participate in many activities, they enjoy the freedom to play and be silly until the age of 8 weeks when they are moved from the den to the rendezvous site (this is where wolves gather to sleep, play, eat and just chill out). They will remain here supervised by a den mother when the adults are hunting.
*Pups will start learning to hunt at about 6 months of age*[/color][/i]
