RogueRunner wrote:@ Owlcat The idea behind the omega rank is that it isn't any kind of desirable one; omegas exist because dogs, unlike cats, vary incredibly in size and power, and so, inevitably, some members are simply too weak to survive on their own or become warriors. Thus, the Pack doesn't need omegas so much as some dogs just aren't fit to be anything else, so preventing them from breeding will prevent extra mouths that can't provide for themselves being born by extension. The apprentice thing is less important. Mostly, it just refers to the fact that an omega can't train a warrior apprentice because they're unfit to be warriors themselves and would clearly make for poor teachers. However, they could theoretically show a new omega the ropes, but there wouldn't be much to teach and the Packs want as few of them as possible, so it wouldn't make sense to show potential warriors that they have the option to become part of what they view as an entirely worthless rank. Also, I guess that a dog would become an omega by default if they refused to become a medicine dog, unless they served as a warrior first because they would instead be an elder in honor of their past services. Just to clarify, I wouldn't think of this setup as necessarily a good or fair one; rather, much like how medicine cats can't have kits, there should be ways around these rules, but old-fashioned society just doesn't see it that way and that is why it persists. Does that make sense?
