- Why would you like to build a pack?: This seems cool, and I've never played a veriation of Create a Clan. The Oekaki aspect of this seems very cool.

Alpha Male Name: Deadnettle
Alpha Male Description/Picture reference: XxXAlpha Female Name: Thorn
Alpha Female Description/Picture reference:XxXPack Territory Important Features:Pack of Birch Trees (Birch Pack for short) is in a Birch forest, like the name implies. The camp is set between two rivers, with shallow parts near the entrance to the camp. In the birch forest, there are many boulders set in the sun for relaxation. A large cliff of juts out of the ground to the Eastern side of the camp. During the Spring when the snow melts, the river flows through the cliff. This has carved out space inside of it, making it a popular hangout place for the older pups who are a bit more adventurous than others. They usually challenge each other to swim in the slower part, though the more foolish ones swim against the rapids. They almost all die. If a pup survives the rapids without help, they immediately are considered mature (although unable to have pups if they are alpha male/female) and will take part in patrol, hunts, etc.
Winter Den and Rendezvous Site Location:On the Western border, there is a large oak tree, the only one of its kind in Birch Pack's territory. It is surrounded by bramble bushes which are hollowed out underneath, creating a shelter under the oak's boughs. If there are any wolves that are sick, they will be moved to this den as to not get the rest of the pack sick.
Pack Traditions/Lore(Beliefs, important things to the pack):When a pup comes of age, they are thrown in the river. Whether they sink or swim will decide whether they stay in the pack. If a wolf does not believe that they will survive and skip the ceremony, they will have to fight with the Alpha. They are far less likely to survive in a fight with the Alpha, so only the most foolish pups would rather fight the alpha than try to swim in the river.
Whenever there is a wildfire, Birch Pack sacrifices the largest piece of prey to burn. They believe this makes the fire happy and less likely to burn down the entire forest.
Each time a wolf moves to or from Alpha male/female, beta, or omega, they gain a scar on one of their forelegs. Alphas always have at least three scars (unless they are the first Alpha, like Deadnettle) and must go through the ordeal while healing themselves to ready them for the position. Omegas get medicine when they receive a scar so that they can move through the ranks easier and not suffer as much.
Every full moon, the pack howls at the moon with their hopes and dreams. They believe the one wolf with the most heartfelt song's wish will come true. A wolf with a song of greed and hate will be thrown in the river. For this reason, every wolf must sing in camp, so that even a wolf with a heartfelt song full of hatred will not have their wish fulfilled.
Pack Structure:Birch Pack will only accept the strongest wolves as their own; for an outsider to join the pack (if the pack has over ten wolves), they must swim across the fast part of the river. After this, they start at the Omega rank and must work their way up. Birch Pack tries to make it easier for Omegas to move through the ranks so that they do not have to be in the lowest rank for long and suffer immense hunger, etc.
The ranks go as follows, the top of the list has the highest rank and the lowest at the bottom.
-Alpha female
-Alpha male
-Beta
-Healer
-Pack member (most common)
-Pup
-Omega
Birch Pack is known for being a calm group, though weakness isn;t tolerated at all. This mindset can lead to some pretty awkward conversations with other packs. Though they make sure a fight is avoidable with another pack before attacking, any form of weakness or betrayal in the pack will result in hostility and attack.
