Since Dominance is a semi-literate forum, we try to be as realistic as possible. In real life, wolves have strict hierarchies, and so they have the same hierarchies in this RPG. There will be an omega in every pack. When pups are born, the entire pack will move to a den and help take care of the litter until they're old enough to return with the pack to their other home. Every wolf and dog has instinct, even if our canines are walking around talking (in their own language, of course). So if some brave male marches up to the alpha male to challenge him and the alpha's bigger than him (it's for this reason that weight is required in bios), instinctive wolf dominance will tell the challenger he's lost as soon as the alpha narrows his eyes, and he'll submit. The list goes on and on. Basically, everything real-life wolves do, our wolves do -- and dogs, too -- with a few exceptions.
Non-Fiction
• When a litter of pups is born, the entire pack will be moved until the pups are at a certain age.
• When any wolf or dog challenges another, the battle will almost always be won by the larger of the two contestants without even a scratch being inflicted.
• There will be an omega in every pack (which I'll create "mini-bios" for and put up for adoption, because let's face it: no one in their right mind is going to willingly create an omega).
• Pretty much every other aspect of wolves applies on Dominance.
Fiction
• Mating and birthing will happen year-round.
• Not just the alphas can mate; everyone in the pack can.
• Dogs have the same instinct wolves do.
I recommend that you get some information on wolves if you don't know much about them.
