Erebus was not always like this.

When the world was plagued with a deadly virus, the pack of Erebus prevailed in it’s numbers and strength. Erebus was a heavily hierarchical pack; high tier rankings were passed down by bloodlines and inherited. Whoever lucked into being born under the Rhys lineage maintained power over the rest.

Along came a challenger. Omen.

“I will no longer stand this,” the she-wolf announced, teeth bared and hackles raised. “I will be the one to take you down, Rhys.” Omen’s words were greeted with uproar. She continued on, growling and clicking her teeth. “I will be the one to destroy your name and lineage. The strongest should rule. Accept my challenge, Rhys, and we’ll see who is stronger.”

Rhys accepted Omen’s challenge.
Rhys met her fate.

Erebus mourned the death of their beloved leader. The heir reveled in anger. Omen was driven out, branded a traitor and curse to the pack’s name. Those who agreed with Omen’s principles were hunted down and killed. The heir stepped in line, amongst all the destruction. That was the end of it.

But not everyone was satisfied. A cult-like group was formed in Omen’s name, resting deep among the heart of Erebus. The only indicator of their alliance and loyalty towards Omen’s cause? A branded scar hidden from the watchful eyes of the heir and commander, in the shape of an ×. Do not whisper about the cult. They will find you.

Avoid × at all costs.
Or join the cause.

𝗪𝗲𝗹𝗰𝗼𝗺𝗲 𝘁𝗼 𝗼𝘂𝗿 𝗱𝗼𝗺𝗮𝗶𝗻.
Erebus is set in a dystopian-esque world, with fantasy and futuristic elements involved. The year is 2087. Humanity has failed to prevail against the odds. Much of the world’s cities where humans used to inhabit are now rundown and ruined. Some stragglers dare to venture into the city. Others are wiser not to — after all, ignorance is bliss . . .

Rankings in Erebus are characterized by the branding of a visible circular scar, most commonly located on either the nape, leg[s], or ear. The scar is a symbol of loyalty and status; generally there is a ‘branding ritual’ performed by the Commander whenever a wolf advances up the ranks. While Erebus wolves aren’t as battle and dominance orientated due to high-tier rankings based off inheritance, generally most Erebus wolves have intelligent minds and sharp instincts— they know how to resolve conflicts rationally and professionally. There is generally a huge power imbalance between wolves in Erebus. [ Please keep in mind you cannot join as a pup if you do not have another character whom is the mother figure taking care of them. ]

⦲ // COMMANDER [1]. — The Commander is the leader of the pack. Their word is law, and they are often behind most executive decisions regarding the pack’s status and rankings. The Commander must be descended from Rhys’ bloodline. While some Commanders have borne offspring during their time as the Heir, Commanders may also reproduce during their time as leader. They work closely with the rest of the high-tier ranks to make sure the pack functions as needed.

∅ // HEIR [1]. — The Heir performs work closely alongside the other high tier ranks, and performs similar duties to the Beta and may take on Subordinate duties as well. The Heir must be descended from Rhys’ bloodline, making them related to the commander. When the Commander steps down, the Heir will take their place. It is generally required the Heir takes on a mate, and reproduce to continue the lineage. There are certain occasions mates are assigned to them by the Commander.

⥁ // BETA [1]. — The Beta’s prime duty is to serve their pack by working closely with the Heir and Commander, as well as help organize patrols for the day. Their rank is flexible, allowing them to do subordinate duties alongside their pack if needed. The Beta’s rule ends either when they reach of age or receive banishment. Unlike the Heir, they are not next in line to be Commander; however, if there’s a case in which all of Rhys’ descendants happen to die, the Beta will assume the role of Commander and pick an Heir.

⦾ // HEALER [1]. — Healers are those gifted in the art of healing, both injuries and sicknesses. During disputes, generally Healers are the neutral party on the matter and can simultaneously serve as diplomats. Stereotypically, they tend to be more nurturing, motherly, and empathetic. Healers may preform Subordinate duties if needed, and generally possess basic combat skills to defend themselves if needed.

⃝ // SUBORDINATE [∞]. — Subordinates make up the bulk of the pack. Their role is important to keep the pack thriving, all subordinates must work to maintain a good bond with eachother to excel in the challenges they face. Common duties include defending the pack from threats, training eachother, hunting, as well as scouting the terrain. More uncommon duties would be aiding the Healer in their tasks. While all Subordinates are equal in power, some may regard more ‘senior’ members of the pack with more respect and view them as leaders.

◠ // PUPS [3] — Pups are the youth of the pack, and what keep the next generations thriving. When they are born, they normally immediately have their scar branded into them. When a pup reaches of age [ 5 months ], they may begin training to become a subordinate and take on a mentor.

⦻ // OMEGA [1]. — The lowest rank of the pack, Omegas are often are treated with little to no respect. This rank could be temporary for stepping out of line, or permanent for betraying Erebus. Submission is required when Omegas are in the presence of others. While most traitors get banished or killed, some may assume this role until the Commander decides the fate of the Omega in question. They are often malnourished and bear wounds from the mistreatment of their pack mates.

𝙁𝙧𝙤𝙢 𝙩𝙝𝙚 𝙙𝙪𝙨𝙩 𝙖𝙣𝙙 𝙖𝙨𝙝𝙚𝙨 [5].
Unlike Erebus, the cult has no ranking system; however, some may regard their founder as their leader. Everyone is equivalent in power, all working behind the scenes for a common cause. They aren't necessarily a pack per say; most × members live within the heart of Erebus in attempts to overthrow the Commander and Heir. Cult wolves normally have a strong dominance/submission instinct, and are well versed in combat with sharp minds. They are committed strongly to Omen’s cause. × Members believe that power should be earned through hard work and dedication instead of inheritance.

𝘿𝙚𝙖𝙧 𝙛𝙚𝙡𝙡𝙤𝙬 𝙩𝙧𝙖𝙫𝙚𝙡𝙡𝙚𝙧 [4].
There are some who choose to dwell near the lands of Erebus, there are some who venture into the city. These are the lone stragglers of the world, most often referred to as night-dwellers. They have chosen not to tie themselves down by commiting to the cult or Erebus’ cause. While they usually choose to remain independent, some night-dwellers band together to help eachother survive the aftermath of humaity’s end.
