Assessment requires all wolves to:


1. Be 12+ years old OOC
2. Have not already been allowed two chances at assessment
3. Ask an Alpha for entrance to assessment in the clearing during a meeting
4. Undergo an assessment period of at least 3 weeks (or two weeks, if under seven months old), during which they get to know the pack and decide on a rank, unless assessment is waived by pack vote. [Assessment time depends on # of current packmates.]
5. Be considered ready by the pack for initiation in 2 months. (If not ready, the wolf will be removed from assessment and may reapply later.)
6. Have not killed or attacked a wolf in their history without just cause

During initiation, one must:

1. Explain his or her reasons for joining,

2. Perform a complicated task to show that his or her wishes are genuine, such as:

  • Hunting a fierce or quick animal and bringing the heart to the Alpha. The heart will be seperated into two halves, to be eaten by the Alpha and the Initiate, showing they are one. The animal will be eaten after the initiation as a celebration feast.
  • Fighting a member of the pack whose age and strength is near to that of the Initiate's. The fighting will take place in the clearing. It goes on until the Initiate manages to pin a member or until an Alpha believes the Initiate has adequately proven themselves.
  • Besting a packmate at something, such as swimming.
  • Retrieving a hidden object.
  • (New tasks will be added as ideas come along. Please e-mail your ideas to Alicorn)

    3. Then, wolves must swear an oath to serve and protect the pack until death.

    4. Then, if the wolf has chosen a rank AND completed their task, they will swear an oath and take rank (if training is complete). They will be sworn into that position when the pack feels they are ready.
