Jobs
Assessments - Assessments are Ulaya that have wandered into a clearing often searching for a home. These Ulaya must prove themselves worthy to become a part of a pack.
Pack Members - Not all Ulaya hold positions, either for being new additions to the pack or not having defined their abilities yet. The Alphas take great care in selection of which position a Ulaya will be allowed to maintain. As the pack members gain time in the pack, their actions will dictate if they are to be advanced.
Guardians - The Guardians are a larger branch, usually consisting of a few Ulaya. Their job is to watch over the clearing, and the Ulaya in it. Their job is to greet visitors, as well as chase them away if there seems to be a threat.
Hunters - In charge of getting meat for the pack. They will go out at least every 3 days on a hunt to bring back enough food for the whole pack.
Gatherers - In charge of gathering berries, roots, mushrooms and other forage for food. Since these foods stay fresher for longer periods of time, the gatherers will only have to go out once a week.
Shaman - A Ulaya that shows interest and skill in caring for weakened packmates. The Shaman of the pack ensures when any Ulaya is wounded, they recover properly not putting too much stress on their wounds. They also watch over the older or ill Ulaya of the pack. They serve as a doctor, and try to keep the pack in a healthy state.
Betas - Play the roll of nanny if there are any cubs, when the rest of the pack is out hunting etc. They also are in charge of training the new Ulaya how to hunt, fish etc. If for any reason the Alphas are away from the living area, the Betas will serve as temporaries.
Alphas - In charge of keeping everyone organized, and making sure the pack members are doing their jobs. If another pack or predator comes onto the territory, they're expected to lead thier pack to get them safe. Everyone looks to the Alpha for organization; they're the leasers, and should act accordingly.
