WRITTEN IN BLOOD

Welcome to The Mafia. You think you have what it takes to be a part of this elusive pack? Well be sure you familiarize yourself with the rules, or you may find yourself in some serious trouble. The following are the unwritten, but enforced laws of The Mafia:

☣ LEARN YOUR PLACE. The Mafia is a carefully organized and well run system that will only function properly if each and every member plays their role. If you do not listen to your higher ranks, you will be removed from the pack.

☣ RESPECT. This is not to say that the ones in the pack that have a lesser role are to be treated with disrespect. Each and every creature within the pack shall be regarded as family and treated as such.

☣ LOYALTY. Is vital. Treason is unforgivable and will be dealt with with the most severe of punishments.

☣ HONOR. The dead. The Mafia may be a pack of killers, but they are far from ruthless murderers. Defiling a grave or upsetting a spirit in any way is a crime.

☣ HONOR. The world around you. The Mafia lives in some of the most rich lands on the islands. Only take what you need from the territory so that its abundance can continue to supply the pack for generations to come.

☣ DO NOT. Abuse any member of the pack in any way. Bullying is not tolerated, nor is the mistreatment of a child or mate.

☣ HELP. Those less fortunate than you. If you see a non-hostile wolf in danger, it is your duty to protect it.

☣ breaking any of these rules will be taken seriously and dealt with accordingly depending on the severity of the crime. this includes justice by death, so think carefully before choosing to disobey The Don.☣

THE RANKINGS
Here are the roles that each member of the pack is assigned. Familiarize yourself with them:

☣ THE DON is the Alpha of the pack. There may only be one Don, and whatever he or she says is law.

☣ THE FRONT BOSS is the second in command of the pack and the acting leader to the public eye. The Front Boss is is often the mate or a trusted friend of The Don.

☣ THE UNDER BOSS assists the Front Boss when the Don is not around. The Under Boss generally deals with internal disputes within the pack while the Front Boss deals with matters that involve the public and other packs.

☣ THE CONSIGLIERI is the counselor and impartial adviser to The Don and the two Bosses. Usually, but not always, an older member of the pack.

☣ THE CAPOREGIME are the strongest wolves in the pack. They are in charge of training the soldiers, and overseeing missions given by the higher ups.

☣ THE SOLDATI are the lowest ranking officials in the pack. They enact duties given by the Caporegime, and deal with business such as running messages, protecting the boarders, etc. Basically they are the warriors in the pack who protect The Don and the rest of the pack.

☣ AN ASSOCIATE is any member that doesn't quite fit into the other rankings. These are the ones that are not fighters, such as pups, elders, and those that simply wish not to involve themselves with violence. They are the hunters, healers, and morale of the pack.
