merciless | a dog roleplay

[lullaby]

You’re life had seemed perfect. You were well fed, you had many friends, everything had been pieced together. But then it struck.
A tornado hit. Destruction and chaos was everywhere. Close to nothing had survived. Your friends and family, gone. All the morals you were taught had disappeared. You were alone. That is, until you found ‘them’.
A group of different dogs. Not one of them had seemed to have something in common.
There were some soft, domesticated dogs who had no idea what was happening, and then a group of ungroomed strays and ferals posing threats to the house pets.
In the midst of them, stood a confident male Doberman Pinscher in a somewhat commanding pose. ” The world has betrayed us. We are no longer supported by the humans and creatures that once took care of us. Food is scarce, and water is short
. There is only one way for us to survive now. To form a hierarchy. Any objections are free to leave and risk a life as a rogue. Choose your sides now. Join the support of pack mates, or live an isolated life of a loner.”

[lullaby]

A tornado has hit the city you have been living in, affecting everything living in it. But in the middle of the chaos, a band of domesticated and wild dogs form together to make a pack. You are given two choices. Join the pack and it’s heirarchy ruling, or risk your survival in living as a rogue.

Remember to put all forms, questions, and unrelated topics in the discussion thread [url=xx]here[/url]

[lullaby]

If you don’t know what any of these ranks are, then you’ve come to the right place. All ranks will be listed and explained here. All ranks are sorted from highest to lowest.

Alpha Male

The leader of the pack. All of their commands must be followed. All rules created by him and broken by others may and will be punished.

Alpha Female

The Alpha Male’s mate. Only decided and chosen by the male. Rules over the pack alongside the alpha male.

Beta

This is the second in command role. They enforce the rules given by the alphas, and is in charge of the pack if both are away. If both alphas happened to die, they would take charge and become the new alpha. This rank cannot be challenged without alphas permission.

Delta

There can only be one. This rank is an already fully trained wolf and is ready to take the beta position if they get deranked, sick, die, or leave. They may not ever take the beta rank and stay as delta. If the beta does leave, they only take charge on alphas request. They are also the messenger of the pack.

Sentinels

There are four Sentinels. They are made up of two pairs of mates. This role is specially chosen by the alphas. And are trained that if something happened to the beta and the alphas, they’d take charge. They don’t have any power over the pack unless stated by the alphas. This role can’t be challenged.

Elders

These are the wolves age 7 years and older. They are usually wise and know a lot more than anyone in the pack. They’re hsually the ones the alphas go to for advice. And if they’re wise enough or fight a better argument over their problem, the only ones the alphas may submit to. They’re as highly respected as the alpha and the beta in the pack.

Assasin

The name is self explanatory. They’re the spies and Assassin a for the pack. There can only be a total of three in each pack.

Lead Fighter

They take orders from the alphas and betas. There can only be one of these. They’re the leaders/general/instructor of all the fighters.

Fighters

These are the fighters and protectors of the pack. The amount of them usually varies on how big of small the pack is. They take all their orders from the alpha, beta, and lead fighter.

Lead Hunter

There can only be one. They instruct and order all of the other hunters in the pack.

Hunters

Amount of wolves as hunters varies from the size of the pack. Every member in the pack hunts, but these are the main ones and do it more often.

Lead Scout

There can only be one. They instruct and order the rest of the scouts.

Scouts

The scavengers of the pack. They take all orders from the alpha, beta, and lead scout. They hunt small creatures, survey the land with the fighters, and find anything that may be useful to the packs survival.

Salutary

There can only be two of these. They ensure the survival of the pack via injuries and wounds.

Sigma

These wolves are like the tutors of the pack. They They know a bit about each thing. They often train pups for a role they wish or help subordinates to get a rank.

Pup watchers

A group of mothers or wolves that watch the pups. Despite the caring role they take, they sometimes show the most hostility to ensuring the pups survival. All pups must leave their watch at nine months.

Subordinates

The unranked members of the pack. All new yearlings or new wolves are placed as this until they can prove them self of getting another rank.

Pups

Pretty self explanatory. Wolves to young to be ranked. They are protected under the Pup watchers and are legibal to be set as another rank or as a subordinate at nine months.

Omega

The lowest rank of the pack. They do all the dirty work, and are treated the most harshly. They always eat last. And if food is scarce, they may not eat at all.

Rogues/Loners

The outsiders of the pack. They don’t have any rank in it or have anything to do with the pack. They focus on their own survival only.

Alpha stood in the middle of the clearing, shifting his attention to separate panicked conversations of the dogs in front of him. Some of the dogs in the crowd were familiar, being members of his own pack. But that didn’t stop some of them from joining in on the chaotic whispers of their ex-human pet neighbors. Alpha sniffed in annoyance, giving the dogs extended time to simmer themselves down. He turned his head to their surrounding area. It was a chaotic mess. Trees were snapped in half and scattered all over the place; chunks of dirt were ripped out from the earth; and even some human debri had littered the place. It was a disaster. And some human pets ended up being left behind in the humans’ rushed attempts to pick up and leave the area. Alpha furrowed his brows, pushing the state of the area to the back of his mind. He stood up to address the crowd of dogs. ”Listen now or miss your only chance of support and guarantee of life!” He growled loudly, waiting for the chattering to quiet down before continuing. ”It seems an unfortunate event has left many of us homeless and exposed to the dangers of the unknown wilderness.” He began, scanning the amount of dogs around him. ”I’m here to say that I understand your confusion and grief deeply. And I offer all of you a chance I cannot promise you will receive once more. The wilderness is going to be much more aggressive and desperate than before given the circumstances that left our food and water resources terrifyingly low. I am willing to invite you all into the safety of my pack. Your survival will be supported and made sure of. In exchange, you must find your place in the hierarchy of it. Based on the skills you possess, you will be placed in a rank that is fitting to your abilities, and you must obey the responsibilities of that rank. There are rules, but all will be explained when and if you join the pack. This offer will only be given to you once. You can join the pack, or you can risk a dangerous life as a rogue.”

Ivory sat patiently among the chaos of canines barking aloud . Everyone was in mid panic leaping here and there like ravenous animals . Ivory knew acting such would just feed into the fear so she sat quietly and respectfully . Ivory wasn't the one to socialize either unless addressed so she kept to herself . It wasn't before to long she heard a voice bellow among the landscape from up on a perch . The whole pack fading to silence as the voice of leadership demanded attention . She listened to his requests ears perked up as he announced the ranking system . She sat puzzled , of what rank would she fit . She wasn't the most athletic so hunting wouldnt be her thing and she didn't want to be alone so rouge wouldn't fit either . She shrugged it off and continued to listen to the alpha while internally questioning her worth.

The red sable german shepard joined in a group of familiar faces. She entered herself into the circle forcefully but looked down as if she was concentrating on what was being said amongst her acquaintances. Juniper had known all of the dogs from her street. Her bubbly, outgoing personality earning her many friends. The female had also noticed a few dogs from the police force previously. None of which she considered family, but they all did have one thing in common. After the traumatic experience, no dog has been left unchanged. Juniper had given a number of inputs on the topic as she stood in her circle before a voice demanded attention from the strays. The female listened intently to the doberman who showed leadership. After he spoke, Juniper noticed that no dog had moved a muscle. She decided she'd be the first. "I don't know about you guys, but I wanna live," she said as she pushed past the dogs scattered about. June knew that she wasn't the best hunter so survival would be difficult for her. She stood in front of the larger brute and dipped her head in respect. "I'll take you up on your offer, Sir," Juniper said bravely.
