Leader: Virox
Virgorians are the followers and prophet under the Virgo zodiac. They make their home in the Virgin Gardens, and cherish their territory greatly. They are all red foxes, and are very diverse, as they range in various pelt colors.
Virgorians tend to be on the silent side, but don't be fooled. They can be all around peaceful and kind, but some are stubborn, arrogant, and blood-thirsty. Play your cards well and you wont have to worry...
The Virgin Gardens is a vast forest filled with beautiful gardens and green, green, green! Some parts are very sacred and custom to the Virgorians' every day life and religious practice. There are pretty views, and wonderful smells and sounds. It's definitely a sight to see!

When a member of the Virgorians pass, they will be buried and all Virgorians may come and share a few words of prayer. Once that is over, there will be a silent vigil held in the Virgorian who passed's honor.
Promotions:
This only happens when a Virgorian gets promoted to an important role. Like a delegate becomes a supreme, or a scion becomes a prime. There will be vows that the Virgorian must commit to, and then there will be a huge feast held in their name.
- The Virgin Gardens is a sacred place, and the fellow Virgorians plan on keeping it that way. If a Virgorian is caught damaging it, there will be severe punishments.
- Males may fight for the same female if they both disere to be the female's mate, as long as they don't kill each other. Though, the female can say no to the winner, but that will mean a re-match. Same goes for the females who want the same male, but this occurs rarely.
- The Prime should be respected by all Virgorians, even if others are against his/her ways.
- Kits must stay in the camp at all times.
- Any failure to the laws will set he/she in punishment, decided by the Prime.
(Make sure you follow the general rules for the RP as well!)

Some ranks belong to a group of others that have a major purpose to the Virgorians. They are still reconized in the Virgorian group, but they are seperate branches that completes.
The Virgin Oracles:
This is a sisterhood of mateless females who are very sacred to the Vigorians and the Virgin Gardens. They are the healers, and are often peacemakers between other Zodiacs. They are honored and respected, even by the Prime. The Prime can also seek the Virgin Oricales for advice, other than his/her aide. The rank that belongs to this group is the 'Virgin Oracle'.
The Council:
The council is made up of highly respected Virgorians. Retired ranks retire to this group. The council basically are the judges. They are allowed to speak out against the Prime's decisions, but that does not mean they will change. If a Virgorain wishes to request something, it must go through council. The can decide things and come up with new laws, but must consult the Prime first. Ranks that belong to this group are the 'Supreme' and 'Delegate'.
The Legion:
The legion are basically the military for the Virgorians. The Legion holds the strongest of the Virgorians who are ready to battle for their rightful name in Zodiac history. Ranks that belong to this group are the 'General', 'Legate', 'Auxiliary' and 'Legionary'.

If they are too young to be in command, the Aide can step in when they don't understand what they are doing. There can only be one Scion, and it will be determined by the Zodiac God themselves.
*Virgin Oracle
These are the mateless females who are the healers and spiritual connectors to the Zodiacs. They are highly respected, even by the Prime.
