Listed Below are the expectations of your character's governance. There will be consequences according with which one is broken or disputed. Alphas reserve the right to edit/change/add/delete any and all rules at any given time. Don't like it? Tough.
GENERAL
1.) Obey all orders from superiors, Alphas have complete Sovereignty.
2.) Remain active, this means roleplaying, not sitting idly, afking, or simply refusing roleplay. If this occurs excessively, your rank will be stripped and given to someone more deserving.
3.) Any disrespect toward your superiors will more than likely warrant an assault, so don't be surprised if these things occur. In the natural world, this would happen. In real life... this would happen occasionally. Depending on the superior you disrespect will result in how they handle it, based on their personality and rank. An Alpha would probably kill or violently disfigure.
4.) We have no problem putting you out on your own, act right and don't start shit with neighboring packs. If you decide to go be a one-man renegade and start crap just because you feel like it, we will hand you over with a smile, because we surely do not need the unnecessary drama because of your lack of common sense.
Courting/Mating
1.) I don't personally care if you court or just become mates or whatever.
2.) If your mate is outside of the pack, you will NOT be given one of the upper ranks that requires a mated pair to hold its title. Sorry, won't do it. Need active members to fill those important positions.
3.) It is not uncommon for the Alpha Male or even the Beta Male to have multiple mates, the most dominant of his harem will assume the Alpha Female or Beta Female title. Titles are subject to change based on the Male's current favoritism. We will not be having more than 3 pregnant females at any given time within the entire pack.
4.) Wolves DO NOT go into heat every month like human females do. It happens only about 3 times a year (February, June and October is when this will be happening.) Furthermore, estrus shall not last longer than 4-7 IRL days. Therefore, if you miss it, tough shit, you get to wait until the next one.
5.) Typically the only female wolf that will end up pregnant is the Alpha Female. In Real Life, the Alpha Female will bully the other females in order to try and prevent them from coming into estrus, maximizing her chances to become impregnated and pass her strong genes. But since this is not real life, we will allow all females to go into heat.
Reproducing
1.) You need Alphas permission before reproducing and please limit your litter to no more than 4. We don't need a pack full of puppies, meaning puppies outnumber the adult members. And we surely don't need you popping out characters who are going to be inactive...
2.) Rape is unacceptable and will not be tolerated. This will result in immediate banishment as well as the massacre of any bastard children resulting from the pregnancy. No exceptions!
3.) Pregnancies are expected to last anywhere from 2-4 in real life weeks. Keep in mind though, 2 weeks is considered a premature birth, puppies will be small and frail and more than likely will not survive. 4 weeks is past due and generally the puppies will be crowding one another and can cause physical damage to the mother when born, making for a long recovery process. The weeks of pregnancy will depend on the build and health of the mother as well as the environmental conditions such as stress, food, drought, etc.
Aging
1.) Puppies will generally be deaf and blind for the first few days of life although will constantly whimper and crawl.
2.) Aging is up to the player, but will go as such: newborn, 3 mo., 6 mo. 9 mo. 1 yr.
3.) Upon reaching 1 year, pups are considered teenagers and will be discouraged from taking a mate until reaching the age of at least 2.
