! Devotion & Destruction OOC !

Thanks! I have a small question though: will this roleplay have a healer/herbalist role? 

Edit: and i have a possible suggestion! I don't know if there's a Hunting rank (i looked everywhere but i have a tendency of being Blind(tm) so pardon me if its Somewhere) but I suggest maybe... no hunter rank? Pack hunts, I've noticed, are more interesting! So anyone could join in a hunt initiated by a higher rank (or whoever is capable) and the only ones that are "required" (could have exceptions) to stay behind are the Pupsitters (for obvious reasons). Could make for interesting pairings and help other characters meet and build relationships! 

Yes, there will be a herbalist role! I was thinking of starting out with just one herbalist per pack, but depending on how many people we get in the roleplay, it might up to two.

Along with your suggestion, I truly love that idea! It enforces how real packs work, and I think this would be a great addition to the roleplay. Wolves could go out whenever they want and invite whoever (save Pupsitters and probably Guards on duty) to go along with them, so it's less restricting, and pack life could be more free-feeling and enjoyable to them.

However, I was wondering if this could be different for each of the packs. I'd think that Crowskull would be less organized, following your idea. Eagleheart would follow your idea in a happy and composed manner. However, Swanfeather would probably keep to their specific hunters to enforce their proper hierarchy and such. Just to add a bit more diversity?

Ooo neat! Love a good ole herbalist role. 

And awesome! I love the diversity ideas too, very fitting!

Alrighty! Here are the roles I've got so far (in order of importance):

1. Alpha (also considered King/Queen in Crowskull): 1-2
2. Beta (Or Second-In-Command in Crowskull -- they like being different): 1-2
3. Herbalist: 1
4. Guard: 3-4
5. Hunter (any wolf other than pupsitter or guard-on-duty in CS or EH): 5-6 (SF)
6. Pupsitter: 2-4
7. Scout/Messenger: 2
8. Omega: 1-2

Hopefully people spread out enough. Usually a lot of ranks in a roleplay with more than 1-2 groups can hit an rp hard. 

The math here is going to be undeatiled, i apologize. I have dyscalculia SNORT.

But! If everyone who expressed interest made a max of 3 (hypothetical; the usual I've noticed is 1-2) then we'd have a total of 18 characters, but there are three groups with 7 (+1 for Swan) ranks, and most with multiple spots. We wouldn't be able to fill every role, which would lead to a disconnect with characters since they'd be the only one in their rank (or have a buddy or two) I suggest maybe shortening it a bit?

And maybe now that we're looking at it, we should just have the Hunters be the only thing that isn't diverse, since that would be harder for Swan to organize if they don't get enough characters.

Ofc, these are all suggestions, and in the end it's entirely up to you!

I would also suggest there being like a lock to the Pupsitters, unless there are (npc?) pups currently, so that would help with other ranks being filled. 

Sorry if this is hard to read, math is NOT my strong suit (obi)

Ah... I see what you're getting at! New list!:

• Alpha: 1
• Beta: 1
• Herbalist: 1
• Guard: 2-3
• Hunter (stated above): 3-4
• Pupsitter: LOCKED (until further RP development)
• Scout/Messenger: 1-2
• Omega: 1-2

How does this sound? Also, I was thinking most packs would have only one alpha/king-queen, but that's just me. Whoever I pick to be the alpha of CS and EH will decide if they want to rule alone or with someone else (but that's kinda what the betas are for e.e)

Y'know what? After typing that out, I think I'll only have one alpha and one beta (edited the list before even posting it xd), and if the alpha has a mate they will become the second alpha (or the sole beta if there isn't one already).

That seems much more manageable! And thank you for listening fhfhkdghd i was afraid I would offend you or somethin'.

And I like that! Very funky fresh imo!

I would be slightly worried if I found that offending, especially since I openly told you to give me opinions/ideas whenever they showed up, haha! I'm so glad you agree with the new dynamics!

I think that, for each pack (in the character creation forum for Devotion & Destruction), I'm going to make that same list but instead of putting the number, I'm going to put the name of the character and their roleplayer's number beside it, and whether or not the role is maxed out! How's that sound?

Very True! But people often do that as a courtesy and they don't actually care so thanks for being kind!

And yeah that sounds poggers! Keeps everything organized and on hand! Definitely stops infinite scrolling too lmaoo

Alrighty! I'll get started on that and then I think I'll get off for now! Thank you so much for your help <33
