Alpha/Luna (Leader/Maius): The Alpha and Luna is the leader of the Midnight Pack, making important decisions to ensure the safety and progress of the pack. They can take council from the Beta and Delta, or even their mates for strategy in the pack itself and against foes. But in the end it is the leaders fin decision that truly matters. If the leader is Male, they are Alpha, whereas a Female is Luna. If the leader is in a same sex relationship, they are referred to as an Alpha or Luna Maius. (ie. Alpha "Jake" Maius or Luna "Dana" Maius)

 

Alpha/Luna (Mate/Luminare): The mate of the Alpha/Luna is called a Luminare, as they hold the titles of the head roles, they are primarily the mate of the leaders. An Alpha/Luna Luminare can give council and aid to their mate/other half, however they also help the tribe with a variety of responsibilities just as the Maius does as they represent the other half of them as well, so a Luminare is carefully picked by the Alpha/Luna. A Luminare DOES NOT become Maius/head of the pack if the lead Alpha/Luna die or step down, instead being reverted to their original roles. (ie. Alpha "John" Luminare or Luna "Hannah" Luminare)

 

Beta: Second in Command of the pack, the Betas main role is council and advisor to the Alpha/Luna, even acting as an envoy in certain cases. The advisor can provide details and information from certain viewpoints to aid in the decision-making of the leader, and should the Alpha/Luna be away, fall ill or die, the Beta can take their place for a time being. When there are multiple Betas, the one to take the leadership role of the Alpha/Luna is referred to as the Beta Major. When a Beta dies, the Alpha/Luna appoints a new one. The main/head Beta is called a Major, while all others are Minor. 

 

Gamma: Considered as the third in command and as the medical expert or doctor, it is the Gamma who tends to the wounded and ill. They are capable of growing herbs and unique flora, while also making medicines and elixirs. The Gama is capable of communing with the dead, specifically the Midnight Ancestors, as well as being able to utilize premonitions and spiritual healing. Hey xan also be the final say in decisions regardkng .edical practice, capable of overriding the Alpha/Luna in this field. However communication with the Ancestors is only if the pack leader deemed it necessary. The Gamma is considered a last resort leader of the tribe should the Alphas/Lunas, Betas, and Deltas all be dead or unfit for leading, and will lead until a suitable Warrior or Delta can take the helm of the Midnight Pack. The head Gamma is called a Major, while the others and trainees are called Minor. 

 

Delta: Recognized as veteran warriors, they are granted authority to organize patrol routes, scouting and reconnaissance, and even give tactical aid when needed; war strategies and such. These are seasoned warriors and are far more skilled than most of the Warrior ranks. The head Delta is called a Major, while others are called Minor, however should there be multiple Majors the one to lead them all is called an Ultra; a rare rank not seen in many generations, many have been older Wolves who are considered best of the best and are hand picked by the Alpha/Luna. The head Delta reports only to the Alpha/Luna. The Major is picked by the Alpha/Luna to lead the forces. And oftentimes, these ranks are used in special operations. 

Ultra > Major > Minor 

 

Warriors: The common type of Wolf that is of fighting age to serve the pack properly. They are used in protecting the pack and utilized for a variety of tasks. Warriors are given no real ranks, but that doesn't mean a few individuals can't shine through as well. 

 

Omega: Either unfit to be aby if the roles including Warrior or not in standing. An Omega is generally an outsider taken in, an elder wolf of the pack, a Newblood, a disabled individual, or even a pup are essentially considered Omegas in that regard.

Queen: A female wolf that is either pregnant or is nursing their pups, once the young are weenie off the Queen goes back to their original role. Queens are heavily protected by the pack.  

 

Pup: A child of the pack, they are referred as Pups until they are old enough to mate, in which they are trained for combat and hunting until they are ready to be an Omega or take on an official role as Warrior. 

 

Scion: A direct descendant of the original werewolves, or close enough, these aren't held in ranks but can w used to reference others that have more Wolfblood than other pack members and can be traced back as such. Oftentimes they are Scions are rare, and are widely sought out to help breed to bring more powerful wolves to the pack. Disclaimer: If you desire for your character to be a Scion, please hit me up first. Not a whole lot of characters will have that chance.
