Welcome to the Rankaid pack, an active, long-term FH Forum roleplay. Since I cannot go in-game, and I don't really know how to create websites, I suppose the roleplay will be done on Forums. This idea was stuck in my head for quite awhile now, and I'd really like to see how it works out. I have high hopes for this pack.
INFORMATION
The Rankaid (RAN-kyed) wolf pack is made up of several species of wolf, along with different personalities and traits. Each of these wolves have ranks, many of which seem familiar. But their territory, though large, is inhabited by many predators. The wolves of Rankaid struggle to survive through the seasons.
Can you survive in the wilderness?
RANKS
Alpha
Alpha is the lead male of the pack. Only one male, mate to Alphess.
Alphess
Alphess is the lead female of the pack. Only one female, mate to Alpha.
Beta
Beta is the practical second-in-command. They lead most hunting trips. Only one male or female.
Healer
Healer, well, assists the pack and treats injuries or sicknesses. Only one male or female.
Healer's Apprentice
The Healer mentors this Apprentice to use herbs and treat wounds. Only one male or female.
Fighters
The ones who protect the pack from invaders and such. Both genders.
Mothers
The Mothers are those who are nursing pups or expecting them. Only females.
Apprentices
The fighters in-training. They have mentors that teach them how to be full members of the pack. Both genders.
Pups
Wolf pups. They are not Apprentices yet; they get that rank at four moons, but they are treated kindly by all members. Both genders.
Elders
Retired wolves that can now live the rest of their lives in peace. Both genders.
Omegas
The lowest rank in the pack. Most likely to be loners at first, then they join as an Omega. They are treated rudely by most wolves, and are known as the outcasts. Both genders.
MAP INFORMATION

(Sorry it's so big...)
Verdant Creek = White dot
Glacier Point = Cyan dot
Arch Valley = Neon green dot
Life Forest = Yellow dots (Life Forest covers the whole area of the south part)
Limestone Cavern = Navy blue dot (At the bottom of Glacier Point)
Pack Dens = Red dot
Hunting Grounds = Orange areas (NOTE - Prey is found in the whole territory ground, but these are regular hunting areas)
AREAS
Verdant Creek
A marshy area of the territory where the water is a clear blue-green due to the moss spreading at a swift rate. Located stretching from the southwest of the turf to the northeast. Main water source.
Glacier Point
Mountainous terrain located in the northwest. When near the summit, ice is noticeable. Auroras occur frequently, signaling pack meetings and howling. The bottom is unusually warm.
Arch Valley
Arch Valley is located near the middle of the territory. It is surrounded by oak and the occasional willow. A stone arch is found in the center.
Life Forest
Practically where the Rankaid pack roosts. Stone and bramble dens are scattered among the woods, close together, but not too close. Many prey gather for shelter here when it storms.
Limestone Cavern
As the name suggests, it is covered in a thin layer of limestone, making the tunnels shine with an emerald glow. A pond is located in the depths of the cave, reflecting the limestone off of the surface of the water to illuminate the entire cave. The occasional plant life grows here. Found at the bottom of Glacier Point.

ALPHESS
~.Christina.~
(http://i50BannedImageSite/dgt8bl.jpg)
Name: Cypress (SIGH-press)
Gender: Female
Age: 2 1/4
Rank: Alphess
Personality: Cypress is very kind and gentle-- most of the time. She's new to this Alphess rank, and can get confused easily, but despite that, she is calm and collected as a leader.
History: Cypress was pack-born in the Rankaid. She grew up knowing both of her parents, but she had no siblings; she is now the Alphess of the Rankaid wolf pack.
Description: A pure white she-wolf with a few streaks of silvery black near her rump. Almost transparent pale-blue eyes.
Mate: N/A
Offspring: N/A
RP Example:
A lithe figure stood tall near the riverbanks. Water raged, making soft whitecaps beside the edges of the bank. Cypress breathed in the sharp scent of the soaked stones and bulrushes, the river calming her fast-beating heart as she noticed again that she was a leader. It wasn't long ago that the previous ones died of sickness, and the Alphess's brain ached just to think about it. Grief tore at her stomach like freezing claws, twisting her digestive system until it burned. Despite her mourning, Cypress moved along the rivers beside the forest and plains in a single-wolf patrol.
Extra: N/A
BETA
Kasai
(http://i45BannedImageSite/2n6gbqq.png)
Name: Cleto
Gender: Male
Age: 9 years
Rank: Beta
Personality: Stereotypical old man; He is light hearted and lenient towards the pups but he believes that no one older than a pup should behave recklessly. He will quickly remind them that they are the examples for the pups. Despite his age, he won't hesitate to snarl at a member or snap at them to act their age.
History*: Used to belong to a clan called Opal Clan since he was a pup. He grew up and became a warrior/fighter. Humans killed off/scattered this clan and he found his way here to use his knowledge of helping in packs to aid in this one. He will respect his leader, even though he out-ages her, but he won't forget to point out mistakes or flaws to her as far as planning or leadership goes.
Mate*: Aria (deceased, killed in the human attack of his previous group)
Offspring*: Kallie, Milo (deceased, killed in the human attack of his previous group)
RP Example: [Taken from an Opal Clan rp] Obi looked over to Rook and smiled slightly, impressed by his last statement. If there were two things the wolf treasured most it was courage and commitment. Although Rook had abandoned his last pack, the fact that he was able to admit his faults and vow to better himself made a good impression on Obi. The old wolf and the leader then looked over to the only feline member of their clan who seemed to have an accent in her voice, something Obi could relate to as his words weren't always understood with his southern dialect. With both of the histories revealed it was obvious the two other wolves could relate, their loved ones being wiped out by humans as well. "Well, Rook and Shanhua, we welcome you to the clan. I'm very sorry to hear that no one from your pack or family were able to be here to provide you comfort but we'll do our best to be as much as a comfort to you as possible. If you need anyone to talk to, feel free to talk to either myself or Obi," he spoke, looking over to the medic who nodded his head in agreement.
Extra*: HOOOOOWL~ 8D
HEALER
Dr??m
Name: Morning
Gender: Female
Age: 2 years, 5 months, and 5 days.
Rank: Healer, if that isn't possible, fighter is alright.
Personality: Morning can be hostile, but sometimes she can be extremely nice. There are times when she fumes up, taking her anger out of everyone, and she's easily annoyed.
Description*: Picture coming soon.
Morning is a black wolf, with piercing blue eyes.
RP Example: -The young, muscular female walked swiftly through the unknown territory. Every once and a while, she'd stand, head pointed in the air as she scented for any signs of wolves, or possibly dead meat that she could feed off of. Obviously knowing there was nothing around, she pressed on, shaking her fur.-
-Pausing, sniffing the air, the female started to walk steadily. Something was following her. She was sure of it. All of the sudden, out of the shadows, came a voice. "Hello, youngster..." The voice said. Shrinkig back, the female slowly walked away from the shadow. Turning, she ran off.-

Yay! I got a reply! 8D
Accepted; I'll put Morning on the Members List. c: We can start if one more person applies, I suppose.

xD Ok. I won't be able to be on at 11:00, if we get one more reply. Currently, I'm watching The Muppets.^-^ Also, I'm not feeling so well lately. So, there's a slight change I might be inactive. >:|

WIP App~ Question: Is the beta position open or is it a "you have to earn it" type of deal? =)
-
@Dr??m Oh, it's alright. I don't think the roleplay will go one-hundred miles per hour, haha. I even thought this thread would die without members at all! xD Anyways, if we get another member, I'll be sure to put the roleplay on hold after a few posts, if any at all. c:
@Kasai
Beta is free; you don't have to earn it. ^^
Also, I've made a map sketch-type-of-thingymabob on Adobe Photoshop Elements that includes details and terrain information. It'll be uploaded on the Information post as soon as I finish it, teehee~ c:
Edit;; I've added the map sketch. I hope it's helpful! c:

Thank you. c:
I'll start off with mah roleplay post. 8D)
Stretching limbs full of fatigue, Cypress paced back and forth outside of the main den, clearly mulling over where to assign the daily hunting trip. She had only became the Alphess a quarter moon ago and still hadn't figured everything out. The she-wolf let out a long sigh and sat down, her paws aching from walking and looked over her pack. Pups were tussling over which game they wanted to play while their siblings eagerly listed off the suggestions. Cypress's ears swiveled as she listened for any signs of danger. Nothing. Good, she thought with a soft trill of relief. Casting glances at the sky, she drew in a long breath, the air clearing her senses.

(Small bump to keep the thread from dying~ <3)
-
Cleto raised his head from his short nap in the sun. He stood and stretched, shook his coat out and then looked around. After a minute or two, he was able to locate his alphess, Cypress. His place in the pack was established as the beta and he was determined to do his best to aid her in any way he could. She was about the same age his daughter would have been and he quickly bit back his sorrow at this thought. Shaking his head to clear out his negative thoughts, he hopped off his rock to approach Cypress. "Have you chosen a hunting grounds," he asked. His tone with her almost seemed fatherly, which may have been due to his previous thoughts.
-
The fae turned to Cleto, giving him a small nod. "The western boundaries of Life Forest would do," she suggested lightly. She felt a bit unconvinced at her own words, however, due to how new she was to everything. Her mind swirled with questions she longed to ask her ancestors, but she knew she'd have to find the answers herself. "But I suppose it depends on if everyone wants caribou or rabbit." Cypress allowed a bit of a joking tone enter her voice, her ears twitching as she picked up the noises of play-fighting pups in the distance. Rolling her eyes faintly in amusement, she coughed to get herself back on task.
-
Cleto smirked at the joke but returned to task once her focus was regained. "Would you like to lead the hunt then? I understand, as a beta, I will lead some hunts," he explained, offering to take the lead on the hunt if she preferred. The old wolf's eyes landed on a dark colored female a few yards away. He gave a howl mixed with a bark, a gruff order for the female to join them. His focus returned to Cypress, awaiting her reply.
[dark colored female= Morning. I was kind of waiting for Dream to post but it's been a week so I just replied =)]
-
Cypress shook her pelt and nodded, secretly relieved for the opportunity to get some fresh air. "Of course I would!" she replied, trying to steady her voice so she didn't sound like a pup asked to go for an expedition away from the dens. Drawing her gaze from the beta to the healer, she waited for Morning to join the hunting trip, her ears erect.
