Welcome to Gaia! ::

Aside from the two RPs up there, there's no specific required minimums of RP in order to gain a rank in the pack -- it's more a general activity level and enthusiasm for the pack, as well as what you and your wolf can bring to the table. I will however say that more RPs will always equal greater chances.

In order to be considered for a promotion to one of the named ranks (Storyteller, Huntmaster, Warmaster, Thief Master, Heir, Right Paw, Left Paw, Alpha) your character must display IC willingness or desire to fulfill a role within the pack, and prove their worthiness. This can happen in a single RP or throughout the course of multiple RPs, but there must be some IC basis for your desired promotion.

Then, all you have to do is post the required Promotion form, and if your application is approved, your new rank will be made public knowledge within the pack and you may begin RPing in that role immediately.

The only exceptions to this rule are if you are applying for Alpha or Heir status. In order to be considered for the new alpha position, you must state your case in the Alpha Succession Thread, and receive a majority vote from all pack members. In order to apply for heir status, you must first be approved OOCly by the alpha AND the pack owner (if they are not one in the same at the time of application) and then you MUST post a full RP between your wolf and the alpha showing that the alpha has chosen you for the position.



Just because you've earned your rank doesn't mean you can now skip merrily away into the sunset, never to be heard from again! Ranked members are crucial not only to the IC running of the pack, but also maintaining an OOC activity level. So, once you get that rank, you gotta keep in touch.

Activity will depend a bit on what's going on in the rest of the pack -- if there's a big active plot going on and you're falling behind, it'll be a bigger deal than if everybody's slow to post -- but as a ranked member we're counting on you to help generate plot and activity. So with that in mind, I'd like to see at least one post a month OR one completed RP every three months.

If you're going to be on hiatus, please let us know so we can work out a logical IC explanation of where your character is and what the others are doing in your absence. If you disappear without warning, or fail to have this conversation with us, or just don't post anything in the pack, then you will get PM'd an activity check - "Hey, dude, where's your wolf? is everything OK?" - after three months of silence. If you don't respond to the PM, then your wolf will be demoted. Upon your return, you are always free to make an appeal and try to fight for your position back.

I reserve the right to change these activity requirements as I see fit to meet the needs of the pack.
