Within the order of Serenade, there are numerous ranks that uphold the base of it's strong structure. Every rank is assigned based on the wolves strengths and specific traits. Without these ranks, Serenade would be nothing more than gathered canines among peers. Below follows the correct ranking system starting with the highest and most regal ranks- to the lowest and disrespected. However, the steps at the bottom of the ladder are just as important as the ones at the top.
:: Ranks ::
:: Sovereign ::
~ Synthax
(1-2) - Usually there are two within a pack, although Synthax has yet to take on a suitable mate.They are dominant over all the rest of the pack and what they say should be considered law within their pack. They take an interest in what goes on in their pack and if they've been away for any length of time look to the Beta to learn of what goes on in the pack. (Alpha(s))
:: Beta ::
~Angelpaw
~Fel ~Battle
~ Nyxus
(3-4) - There may be four in a pack, two of each gender. They may or may not be mates and are second in
. When neither alpha are around they take charge as it is the responsibility that falls to them. The Beta is there in order to test the Alpha in skirmishes which are never truly serious and results in little to no damage of either canine. Although, there may come a time when the challenge is serious. (Second in Command)
::Delta::
~Mock
~Salvation
~RunningFire
~Scythe
(4-4) - They are the messengers of the pack, the go between among the allies and sometimes even the axis. They risk their own lives by doing so, but it is their duty and must make sure that those who need to know are told. Sometimes they work in conjunction with the Upsilon. Those who seek this position must be agile, patient and have an even temper while speaking with other packs. (Messengers)
::Epsilon::
~SleepApnea
~Ali
~Fabian
ShadowRus
Sinner
Xanadu
Kreatur
(2-2) - They are the Guardians of the pack. Their job is to ward off intruders and are responsible for the safety and well being of the pack. They should have at one time been either an Zeta, Eta or Iota for they will need the skills of peace and fighting. Though they should only resort to violence should peaceful persuasion fail. (Guardian)
::Zeta::
~Battle
Fel
(2-3) - The war general of the pack. They take direct orders from the Alpha in case of a war. The Alpha may be the one to declare war, but the Zeta leads the army and plan the plans for war. They also train new recruits for position as a Eta or more to take his or her place in future. Normally there is only a single Zeta, but if the populace is high there can be as many as three. (War General)
::Psi::
~Xspectrum
Skylar
SadiesfromHades
Cylon
Mugger
xxAnastasiaxx
(Unlimited) - These are the subordinates of the pack. Usually new members or yearling wolves start here and must prove themselves before they are given a better ranking. However they need to be careful and achieve a higher ranking least they become the Omega. (Subordinate)
::Eta::
DarkBeforeTheDawn
(0-2) - There are at least two in a pack. They are led by the Zeta or the Epsilon during skirmishes and wars. Although they will take orders from the Alpha or other higher ranks if given, but the Alpha's above all. (Warriors)
::Theta::
~ AriesDragonClaw
~ShadowScythe
(1) - They are the lead medics within the pack, therefore it is they that the Iota aspire to be. (Lead Medic)
::Iota::
~ShadowScythe
~SkyeTheAlbino
(0-2) - They are the medics of the pack, knowledgeable in herbs. They have vast knowledge upon what plants and other natural resources will help cure and heal others. (Medics)
::Upsilon::
(1-4) - The Upsilon are the scouts or spies of the pack. They go into other pack territories in order to find out what's going on. Afterwards they report back to the Alpha and tell them about all that they have seen, even should it just be that pups have been born. They will also report to the Zeta if they were asked to find wolves of their own for battle, or they report to the Alpha pair. (Scouts/Spies).
::Phi::
Iremia
(1) - They are the pup sitters of the pack and delight in teaching the young that which they will need in the future. However if a pup gets lost or hurt they are hold accountable should the pup have been under their care at that time. (Pup-sitter)
:: Chi ::
(1) - They are the jester of the pack. They help to make others laugh when things get stressful. (Jester)
::Omega ::
Valko
(1) - They are the scape goats of a pack. Often they are picked on by the other wolves and are last to eat. Sometimes things may become so bad that they might even up and leave the pack, though there are those who remain to stick it out. (Lowest Rank)
:: Pup ::
IvoryRose
Catalyst
- They are the young usually born into the pack under the age of one. Depending upon morality and the attitude of a pack as well as the food that is available the number of pups in any pack may vary
