THE LEGEND OF THE WEREWOLVES

In a forest in California, with cabins scattered around here and there lie the home of a pack of werewolves called the Noctis. They have their own lore, and are developing. They are also locked in a feud with their rival pack, the Serum pack, who are more experienced and are usually full of people who have graduated college, while the Noctis pack is mainly consisting of teenagers. They Noctis and Serum, however, have alphas who are allies, and are trying to seal in the crack between the 2 werewolf packs. You can create a character and find yourself among them, or you can also choose to be a loner.

In the forest, called Albany Ridge, the packs both have main cabins that are larger and house the main of each pack. The packs both have the same lore, and have the same beliefs. There are also 3 different kinds of werewolf types, based on their shifting abilities: The Shifting Ones, the Half-Shifters, and the Temporary. The Shifting Ones are those who can completely shift whenever they want, wherever. The Half-Shifters are those who can't really shift whenever, wherever, but they sometimes can. They usually sometimes require motivation or some kind of inspiration, and the Temporary are those who kind of have the same problems as the Half-Shifters, except they usually require more help and inspiration, and they are usually quiet about shifting as well and can be reluctant. The packs only have 3 ranks: Alpha Male/Female, Beta, and Gamma. Everyone else can do any kind of job they want, and do not have a separate rank for that. Therefore, everyone else is known as a "Brother" or "Sister". The packs also hold meetings in their main cabins when they feel is necessary, and only the Alpha Male/Female or the Beta may call meetings. The meetings are mandatory and everyone must attend them or face the consequences.

The Noctis and Serum packs are also known to have different personalities. The Noctis are generally happy, quirky, outgoing, and helpful, and very forgiving. However, the Serum are very serious, skeptical of others sometimes, and aren't always forgiving, and sometimes aggressive. The different personalities are one of the reasons why the feud between them and the Noctis is happening, but what is the main, other reason, you may ask? The answer to that is that once, during a war, the Alphas of the Noctis pack were killed by a Serum member 2 years ago. Since then, the Noctis have begun seeking revenge, as they will not tolerate their own being killed by any other pack, or fellow Noctis wolves. The Serum don't seem to be too upset about the situation, as some of their members had problems with the Noctis Alphas. 

RANK INFORMATION
The Alphas are known to be the head honchos of their pack. They are in charge of everything, and are the only ones allowed to have children. They can be usurped by the Beta who will then choose a random member to be their mate. The Alpha pair must have a good relationship with each other in order for the pack to function.

The Beta is the second-in-command of their pack. They help the Alphas, and do anything they can. They are allowed to hold meetings when the Alphas are absent, and they, along with the Gamma, are in charge if the Alphas are out on a mission or something like that. The Beta can usurp the Alpha Male or Female if the latter dies, retires, or is exiled, and they choose a random member to then be their mate. They may choose the Gamma if they want.

A Gamma has the job of a third-in-command. They are somewhat of a general, or advisor to the Beta and Alphas. They are known to often take charge in battles, and are responsible for training the youth of their pack. If their pack's current Beta dies, retires, or is exiled, they have a chance of becoming the new Beta. The Gamma may also become the new Beta's mate if the current Beta usurps the current Alpha Male or Alpha Female. A Gamma, just like the Beta, cannot have children.

LORE
The Noctis and Serum both have the same lore and share similar beliefs. They believe that there is an afterlife, 2 exactly, just like how some people, known as Christians, believe in a Heaven and a Hell. The Serum and Noctis call these afterlife places called Oku(equivalent to Heaven) and Ikiri(Hell). The good go to Oku when they die, and the bad go to Ikiri. They do not have a place similar to Purgatory. The Serum and Noctis also believe that their youth members must learn their lore, and must be trained by the Gamma, or other experienced members, in order to become experienced members themselves. They have a "god" called Lelie, who was the founder of the two packs. Both of the packs pray to Lelie, and believe that she will help the packs. The lore the Noctis and Serum have is pretty simple, to say the least.
