♊ Gemini's ♊

[Heir]

Harbinger

The leader of the group. They can be either male or female, and there is only one at any given time. Their orders are final, and it is a severe punishment for anybody who goes against an order without a very, very good reason. Even then, the punishment will still be harsh.

Legate

There can be any number of Legates, but typically there are two. They are the Harbinger's most trusted, taking care of the pack when the leader isn't there. They often help delegate tasks between the Militants and lead hunts and battles.

Militant

The everyday warriors of the pack. They perform the menial tasks, such as hunt in groups, guard the territory, scout around the boundaries, et cetera. The more seasoned and trusted Militants are chosen to mentor new Trainees.

Augur

There are usually only one or two Augurs, blessed with knowledge so vast, it renders them blind. They do not fight, instead preferring to advise the Harbinger. They are Youth-watchers, and also act as healers alongside their advising.

Oracle

The Oracle is blessed with visions. Often, the Gods will send them prophecies through these visions, but are usually very picky about how and when they send them. They can also communicate with spirits and nature. This rank does not fight.

Trainee

Any group member under the wing of one of the more seasoned Militants. They learn how to fight, how to hunt and how to act from their mentor Militant. In order to rank up from Trainee to Militant, they undergo a test of potency, held monthly. If a Trainee fails to pass the test, they remain as a Trainee and can try again next time. Should they fail after three tries, they are banished from the group.

Youths

Pretty much what it says on the tin. Youths must remain within the den areas with their mother for at least a week (real-time), before being passed on to the Augurs to look after for another week. After that, they are grown enough to rank up to Trainee, where they spend their adolescence.

Mates

Any male of the group may choose a mate from any rank lower than their own (or equal to). You must gain the permission of the Harbinger before you can start a family with your mate, however.

Your mate's rank will not affect your own - if you're a male Legate with a female Militant as your mate, she will not become a Legate and will remain a Militant.
