Alpha
```both the alpha female and the alpha male (mates) have the same job: to rule and protect their pack. they make all the decisions, deciding which one is the best for the well-being of the pack. they enforce rules, though that's mainly the beta's job, and dole out the punishments for those that don't follow them. they host the ceremonies of turning from a pup to an apprentice, and from an apprentice to a fully-fledged pack member.
Beta
```much like the alphas, the betas are a mated pair, with similar jobs. they mainly enforce the rules, and report major rule infractions to the alphas. they dictate every day's schedule, such as: organizing hunting and scouting patrols, deciding which pair of mentor and apprentice will go hunting or fighting training that day, and choosing which part of the territory to hunt on. the betas make sure everything runs smoothly, until both alphas have fallen and then they will rise to leadership.
Healer
```healers are among the most important dogs in the pack. at first there is only one healer, until they find a pup that has the right skills and temperament to be a healer apprentice. the healers take care of any sort of injury in the pack, using herbs to cure illnesses and injuries.
Hunter
```the hunters are regular pack members, but they have an important job: gathering food to feed the whole pack. the lead hunter leads every hunting patrol that is set out. while hunters mainly catch food, they are also trained to fight in case of an emergency.
Fighter
```fighters are also regular pack members, but are trained mostly in fighting and combat skills. they are the protectors of the pack, defending against any sort of danger that may arise. but, there aren't dangers everyday, and they are also mildly trained to hunt, and usually help out with the regular duties of the camp.
Guard
```guards are regular members of the pack, and guard the entrance to the camp day and night. there is always at least two of them standing guard in front of the entrance to the camp. night guards sleep and eat during the day, and stay up all night to protect the vulnerable, sleeping camp. the day guards stay up all day to protect the camp, and do most of their sleeping and eating at night.
Queen
```queens are often called unimportant, or ridiculed for "not doing anything to help the pack", when in reality they are the most vital members. they rise the very life source of the pack, helping the pups to grow into strong warriors that will benefit the pack for years to come.
