Wolf Roleplaying guidelines


Wolf RP
Social Structure
1. Alpha Male ((Leader, must be respected))
2. Alpha Female ((Leader, must be respected))
3. Beta Male ((Leads if the Alphas cannot, must be respected))
4. Beta Female ((Leads if the Alphas cannot, must be respected))
5. Alpha's pups ((They are next in line to be Alpha if they want to lead))
(( There are no 'medicine' wolves, or shamans. There is no lead hunter or anything, there is a pecking order.))
6. Pups are guided by all the wolves in a pack how to grow up and hunt, and survive
7. Eating before the Alpha, having head above Alpha, makes you a challenger

General Wolfs Rules
1. Alphas eat first, any attempt to eat before or during if not a pup will be a challenge for command
2. Follow Alphas, if not you will be either run off, or left behind
3. Any newcomer is a threat unless proven otherwise
4. If you steal food from pups, you will be torn to shreds
5. You must grovel to be even considered to be accepted in a pack

General Wolf Behavior
1. Tail wag - praise, happiness
2. Tail pressed against belly and ears back - fear, or submitting
3. Riding up on another - "I'm the boss"
4. Showing belly - submitting
5. "Bowing" with tail pressed against belly, ears back - submitting
6. Growling with head and tail high - I'm boss
7. Howl - "come here"; mourning; long distance communication; "This is our territory"; "Your territory will be ours" ((Be sure to specify!))
8. Lifted leg peeing - "I'm Alpha, and this is mine!" (Border markings)
9. Squatting peeing - "This is my Alpha's" (border markings)

Please, please, please, don't say "I'm so and so and I want to join" actually do something, make it more interesting. And first you have to not be consider a threat before you ask.

ie
I trotted up a grassy hill. I saw many wolves come down a hill opposite of me. I howled to get their attention. I say to the wolves "I'm so-and-so and I want to join"

BAD! And something you do in HUMAN society, not wolf or cat!


-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
I trot up a grassy slope, very alert for I am a loner in anothers territory. I scanned the area when I was at the point of the hill, and saw the pack trot down a hill opposite of me, one with a piece of meat in mouth. I immediately make my posture non-threatening, loosening my tail and sitting down with my ears relaxed.
-----------------------
Two members saw the loner and informed the leader, an he ordered for a fanned out attack to drive off the loner.
-----------------------
I saw the pack running towards me but stood my ground. All instincts were screaming "RUN! RUN!" but I needed this pack. As the alpha was almost on top of me, I rolled onto my back and flashed my belly
-----------------------
The alpha saw this and called off the attack. He snarl-barked. "Why are you on my territory?"
-----------------------
I roll on to my belly, and looked away from him to say he was leader, a strong leader, and answered, "I need a pack." I licked the air under his chin and rolled halfway over to show part of my belly.

GOOD!
The good one is what really happens in real life.
