HELLSTROM
Pack Name: Hellstrom
Territory: Avian Estuary
In-Character Reasoning: Sin?s main and honest reasoning simply put; he is an ambitious individual. He strives to be different then all else, and will continue to be a mystery to those who think they know him. He wants a pack to bring forth a home for all those considered as outcasts, to create a home for those that would simply not fit within the ranks of the other existing packs with his own style.
Alpha Description: Sin will be a fair yet strict leader. He will not tolerate disloyalty, treason, betrayal, or anything that might be a risk to the pack. He will remain loyal to his own members as well, and will always be there to listen to concern. He will never be absent, and will always have time for them. Although ambitious himself, he won?t place his pack in danger without reason. He will not lead his warriors into unjust war or fights without good reason. One to trust despite his usual demeanor, as an Alpha, he will have qualities that change to take on the job and role as such. A role model, and a leader to look up. Though never will he be weak at heart. Sin?s personality is one of darkest proportions. He can be sinister, devious, cunning, and overall the devil in disguise. Though he is well capable if hide his intentions, to any and all save for those implemented into his plans. He is a creature of darkness, though not foolishly so. Ambition is a strong point, but will never stray to carelessness.
Laws & Description: The pack will be a home to the strong of heart, warriors, killers, murderers, good wolves, healers, young and old, dogs, the outcasts that do not fit well with any other pack. Although, that does not mean that just anyone and everyone will be accepted. Sin will accept only those who will follow without question. If your character needs some time to adjust to pack life, he/she will be given a grace period to do so. If he sees that you are weak of heart, at anytime while in the pack, you will be turned away. He commands laws to be followed, and work be put in if you want to remain within his ranks. Flattery won't get you anywhere, so don't waste your time in trying to do so. Treason will not be tolerated, and you will be punished to the full extent of the law; in this case, whatever Sin decides. This will have various degrees of punishment ranging from minor to extremely severe. Prisoners & slaves may be integrated as well, but not without reason.
Alphas word is law. If you cannot comply, you will be forced to leave. Disloyalty will result in consequences. Though Sin doesn't care whether you like him or not, betray the pack and you've found yourself a death wish. Nobody is to slack off in duties, if doing so without good reason you will be demoted. No excuses. High ranks are not given out, they must be earned. For Sin will not give power to the lazy and inactive. Regardless of your skills, your place is what Sin decides. If effort is seen and acknowledged, you might be promoted.
Ranks may be challenged for, however, and you must show your worth and desire to really want the position. Bear in mind, you may not get it even if you win the first time around, for Sin may want to test you again soon after.
A special surprise will be set in place for young wolves 1-2yrs of age in order to prove their abilities and skills. It will be demanding, and there are no exceptions unless otherwise noted by Sin. All wolves between these ages must comply.This will not be released yet.
1. Loyalty to the pack itself is primary. Sin doesn't not care whether you like him or not, but if you are to remain in the pack willingly, you must show loyalty whether you like it or not. Disloyalty is a punishable offense, and the appropriate level of punishment will be issued.
2. To be of high rank requires work and effort. Ranks will not be given out to those who do nothing. Work hard, prove your worth, show you are capable, and you may be rewarded. Do nothing, and you may end up losing your place, for those who do nothing will lose their place in the pack and its entirety.
3. Anything and everything commanded by the Dark Archangel is to be obeyed. Failure to do so will result in punishment. Failure to comply may result in severe maims to slavery, regardless of who you are.
4. Treason, and endangering the pack with foolishness may result in being immediately sentenced as a slave and/or exile. Once placed into this position you may not challenge to raise your rank; only for your freedom.
5. Sin does not care who you choose to "love." However, if you choose to mate, Sin MUST be informed. If you are male, and taking a rogue female as your mate, she must be brought to the pack. If you are female, and take a rogue male as your mate, the children must remain within the pack. Mating with another from a pack is not allowed and anyone caught doing so will face a penalty of punishment or exile/banishment.
6. Challenging for higher rank is permissible, however, you must first consult with the Primary Alpha and state your reason. Bear in mind, even if you win your challenge, you may still be unworthy of your rank and must further prove yourself as indicated by the Alpha. He knows who is active and who is not. And a high rank will not be given to those who do nothing regardless of their winnings.
7. Disputes may be settled however you wish. Inform anyone of Tier 2 or higher so that they may oversee the challenge. Those who oversee may not & will not interfere.
8. Trespassers are not to be taken lightly. Rogues will be confronted and interrogated unkindly, and if hostile, may be subject to force claim/maim for doing so. Hostility will only bring you the reward of slavery if your challenge is lost. Allies must also be confronted, and be brought to the Alpha. However, those who trespass without good reason will face consequences if found on the territory at any time. Enemies who trespass are subject to immediate ejection of the territory or force claimed to be enslaved.
9. If you wish to leave the pack, then leave. Inform the Alpha, and you will be marked as exiled. Once you leave, there is no coming back. Make your choice wisely.
10. Last but not least...All young wolves, upon reaching the ages between 1-2yrs of are, are subject to a special competition of sorts. The details of this are yet to be revealed.
