The Amazon Pack

HISTORY

---

The rain forest was a remote place. Everyone sought to make it their paradise, but no one succeeded. Jaguars and poisonous animals were threats no one could survive through. Then came two wolves from completely different places. They didn't choose to be together, but survival made them put aside their differences. They made the paradise that many only dreamed. Soon the two were having pups of their own, and they were beginning the first pack in the dangerous wilderness. Wolves who came into the rain forest seeking to take the land were diminished by their surroundings. There were a few who successfully joined the pack.

The pack was never named, but to others outside of the rain forest they were known as savages. Eventually they took up the name Amazons. They considered themselves protectors of any travelers who stepped a foot into the forest. Being in the rain forest was a dangerous place, and having a guide who knew everything about it was most helpful. Many of the wolves of the Amazon pack contributed inadvertently to their savage name because of the obscure and sometimes crazy techniques used during hunting. Being in such a remote place that seemed pretty cut off also contributed to this. Many wolves in this pack when finally released upon the outside territories were known to have interesting behavior.

In this pack there was never a set ranking system. The only obvious rank was the alphas. The alphas were a pair of two with equal responsibilities. They could be siblings, mates, or two good friends. It is questionable what caused the supposed extinction of this pack. All of a sudden there was no more news from the rain forest. Wolves that went in came out, but they claimed that they never saw any of these savages. Soon the Amazons became a legend passed on to pups. All that was thought to be left of such a pack were two pups and a mother. The two pups grew up strong and learned everything about the pack from their mother. The only thing that was never answered was what happened to the Amazon Pack.

With the weight of a long dead pack on their shoulders the two siblings left the rain forest. Inexperience caused them to run away from their destiny. They traveled around for many years, and for all those years no one ever knew where they were from. Now they were back to claim it. The question was, who else there was that survived?

OUTSIDE LORE

---

Many outsiders believed that these wolves were so remote that they were dangerous to come across. It was said that the reason many wolves didn't comeback was because they were used as sacrifices to please the jaguars. It was also said that jaguars were the protectors of this pack. This was the reason the rain forest stayed so remote. Eventually after the disappearance of these Amazon Pack wolves the legends started turning into other things. When who traveled into the forest began to comeback out many began starting stories that the wolves were sacrificing themselves to save the travelers. Many rumors were passed along that what killed the pack could have eventually been the jaguars, poison, or maybe they turned on each other.
Despite rumors no one knows the real reason of what happened. The savage name stayed well embedded into the Amazon legends, and no matter which legend they will either put fear into a young wolf's heart or bring a wolf a sense of peace while traveling.

RANK EXPLINATIONS

---

The Genesis and The Origin are the alphas of the pack. Formally they are called by their titles in formally they can be called by either their names for alpha. The female is traditionally known as The Origin and the male is traditionally known as The Genesis. Despite this there can be two males or females in these positions. In this position is usually two wolves who trust each other and respect each other very much. They can be two siblings, two mates, or even two close friends. They share the responsibility of the pack, and they talk to each other about decisions for the pack. They have an equal share of power and respect throughout the pack. These two if not already mates can have mates, but their mates will not share any responsibilities of a pack leader.

The Omega has been a title used throughout this pack differently then many other packs. An Omega would be like a Beta for any other pack. They will be given responsibilities from The Genesis and The Origin. The reason there are not two Omegas is because when an Omega receives the title of Genesis or Origin they make the choice of who the other alpha shall be. When and If an Omega oversteps his or her boundaries, that will be the only time a Genesis or Origin does not have to consult the other on punishment. Otherwise an Omega is just a step below The Genesis and The Origin and should be respected as such.

The Predators, The Gatherers, and The Shamans are just your general pack positions. Predators are protectors of the pack. They are handpicked by both The Origin and The Genesis and highly trained to defend against jaguars, and to get rid of snakes. They are also trained by Shamans on which animals are poison. When any new wolf comes they are to immediately confront the newcomer, and bring them back to camp safely. The Head Predator gets his or her orders from either of the two alphas, but if it conflicts with the Head Predator's morals they are allowed to go to the other alpha and confirm things. There will be times when either of the two alphas will lead a patrol or attack.

The Gatherers are the hunters of the pack, but they get their name from their finding of edible fruits and berries which will be eaten also. The Head Gatherer doesn't really have to get orders from either of the alphas. Their main goal is keeping the pack fed and up to par. They may take and escort or two from The Predators when they deem necessary. Otherwise The Gatherers have general fighting skills, and now what foods could severely hurt the pack through poison. There have been very few times when these Gatherers have been able to take down a jaguar.

The Head Shaman is the considered the wisest wolf in the clan. The Shamans help predict weather patterns, and have learned how to turn poison into a useful item. They not only help the pack stay strong, but they are generally the ones who keep the pups and their mothers in their sights. They tell the mothers where the pups can play on a certain day, and where they shouldn't. The Head Shaman gives announcements to the pack. Many Shamans go out in search for jaguar tracks in order to track them, and help the Predators lead jaguars away from the Pack.

Neutrals are young wolves, mothers, and elderly. The young ones have strict rules about not going out of the sight of any of the pack. Mothers know these general rules, and get help enforcing them from the Shamans. Not all elderly are necessarily old. These wolves can be disabled who aren't able to work in any of the three ranks above. Disability can come from jaguar attacks, birth, or even some venom.
