Werewolf Vocabularies

Alpha

As you all know that an Alpha is the leader of the pack. He or She is in charged with every decisions, setting laws and controlling the pack. They have the ability to banish, exile and kill anyone who shows no respect and those who questions authority. At such a young age they are born with an Alpha tone, it is a clear indication that they are born to rule. In short an Alpha is the pack’s core. However, this position can be challenged thus the winner of the duel with be the ruler.

Beta

The Beta is the right hand of the Alpha. If the Alpha is away all the decision making is made by the Beta and will be reported to the Alpha when he or she returns. Under certain circumstances when the whole Alpha bloodline dies the Beta will claim the Alpha title and will claim the Alpha title and will have the power to rule the pack.

Sentinels

In a pack there are four sentinels (two mated pairs). They are personally trained and chosen by the Alpha and Beta to take over the position if there is something that would happen to the Alphas and Betas. This position cannot be challenged.

Gamma

Gamma are also known as the pack Elders. They are known for their knowledge and renowned strength. They are the one whom the Alpha's go to for advice/s. They are given the title based on experiences and knowledge. Just because they have reached the age of 60, doesn't mean that they will automatically become a Gamma. They need to be deemed worthy of that position. Should be personally chosen by the Alpha and Beta.

Zeta

They are the war generals and they take direct orders from the Alpha in case of war. The Alpha declares the war but the Zeta leads the army and makes plans for war.  Normally there is only one Zeta but if the population is high then there can be more than 1 Zeta.

Epsilon

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. The only time that they would resort to violence is when peaceful persuasion fail. They are mostly called as patrols who guides the perimeter.

Delta

They are the messenger of the pack, they go between packs to form alliance. They risk their own lives by doing it but it is their duty and responsibility. A duty and responsibility that they must uphold. They are often found during the union meetings. Contrary to their Alpha they must possess an unwavering patience, cause one wrong word could lead to total  annihilation of their pack.

Theta

They are the pack healers whom are blessed by the goddesses with a great healing ability. They are chosen because of their will. They would either heal in pack hospitals or in the field during war.

Eta

Also known as warriors, they too serve as patrols and guardians of the pack when the  night falls.  The number of warriors depends on the size of the pack, it also depends on how the Alpha see fits. They are trained by the Zeta. The Alpha or Zeta could appoint or train more Etas when the pack is on high security alert. Some are appointed as Scouts. Scouts could also patrol the borders and are allowed to run on mutual grounds.

Kappa

The lead hunters (2) leads the lambda to hunt during hunting season and on full moons. During hunting seasons the Alpha and Beta and Zeta have the choice if they wished to join or not.

Lambda

Like warriors the amount of lambda depends on the size of the pack. Every  member of the pack hunts, even Omegas. But just because all the pack members joins the hunt it doesn't automatically make them a Lambda. A Lambda trains hard in order to perfect the combination of stealth and agility to be able to take down a much larger prey.

Sigma

The pack tutors, they are the one in charged in educating pups the nature and true essence of a Werewolf. They explain the concept of shifting, mating process, the goddesses, the heirarchy and etc.

Phi

The Sigmas teach certain concepts but the Phi looks after the pups especially if the parents are ranked officials or working. Although they might appear soft, don't let the looks decieve you.

Psi

The unranked wolves. They can still participate in the hunting and training but they are usually found in the pack house preparing meals and keeping everything in order.

Pups

The future of the pack. The unshifted Werewolves. Until 12 years old. Once they reached their prime age of 13 they will then shift on their wolves.

Omegas

The lowest of the low rank. Contrary to popular belief Omegas are not given to the weakest link but they are given as a punishment to those who are troublesome and disrespectful. It is mostly given to newly shifted wolves cause they are still struggling with their animalistic urges.
