Obey These to stay in the Pack or feel Rancids Tooth and claw at your throat and hope you run away to safety in time...
Each Pack has it's own set of rules, laws and codes. These are ours.
Though your loyalty is to the pack and the Alpha, if you wish to split away and form your own pack under the Vertigo name, you must gain the permission of the Alpha; usually an experienced wolf is allowed to leave; one who has been around for a long time and will not run his/her pack into the ground. You must have at least three other followers, and you must have your own set territory already. (I doubt this will happen until much later on, but it's there if need be.)

Each Pack has it's own set of rules, laws and codes. These are ours.
-->Respect and obey the Alpha at all times.
-->Respect and obey the superior ranks.
-->Your loyalty should be solely to the pack and the Alpha.
-->If called for a pack meeting or an audience with the Alpha, you must attend unless a suitable excuse can be given.
-->Pups and pregnant faes are highly valued and looked after.
-->If you wish to take a have pups, you must gain the permission of the Alpha.
-->Respect your own ranks; you are obliged by your duty.
-->The strongest wolves have the highest ranks; fights are pitted to determine individual strengths.
---> Weakness is tolerated, not accepted.
-->Being promoted/demoted can and will happen.
--> Continual rule-breaking will lead to demotion and banishment.

-->If you are hungry and want to kill something you can. (However one wolf can not take down a full grown deer, you'll have to stick to little things like rodents, rabbits, etc.)
-->The highest ranked wolf calls the shots unless they decide to nominate someone else to do it in large hunts.
-->Wolves never, ever go for the jugular! They run their prey down and rip open it's sides and belly to kill it. Once the animal falls down then they grab it's muzzle to suffocate it..
-->Highest ranked wolves eat first while the lower ranked wolves wait for their turn. A higher ranking wolf may give a lower ranking wolf to eat at the same time... though this depends on their mood and such. SIKLA EATS LAST
-->First and foremost; I don't want to see whirlwind romances or sudden romances. You wouldn't become the mate of a wolf you met only that morning, despite how 'easy your conversation is.' Wolves often court for a couple seasons and fight often to see if they are matched.
-->You must be at least 24 moons old to breed; and at least12 moons old to have a mate.
These rules only apply to wolf couples:
-->If you wish to have pups, make sure you have them within the breeding season, and have the permission of the Alpha. Pups born without permission will most likely be killed or outcast along with either of the parents.
-->By autumn, the pups should be talking and learning to hunt; far more independent than their newborn stage.
-->You are expected to stay with one mate; though this may not always be the case.
-->Just because you have a mate; you do not have to produce pups.
-->No more than four in a litter. For the first week, pups may be RP'd by the parents. Then a RPer must be found.
--> If your character falls pregnant, they MUST remain so for FIVE days, and MUST fall pregnant within the breeding season.
[F i g h t i n g]
-->Fighting can and will occur; it is a part of wolf life, and a way for individuals to establish dominance and hierarchies.-->Fighting for a mate can occur; though usually between two or more males for a female than females for a male. .
-->In a fight; you WILL get hurt.
-->Fights may continue until the Alpha or other higher ranking wolf steps in to stop it, and declare a winner; or until one fighter submits.
-->Fighting to the death MAY occur (please have the permission of the other RPer if this is the case).
-->If you don't want to die in a fight; submit or run.
