See Rank Policies for information about advancing in your profession path.

The IC hierarchy: Profession paths

See here for a graphical overview of the ranks, and links to each profession path.

Unlike the OOC ranks, the paths define where your character is in the social hierarchy of the pack (unless your character is in the council of Elders). It is your character's profession or job, and how skilled they are in this profession reflects how much respect the character holds from the rest of the members of the tribe. You here choose whether you are content as Itse (the general rank), or whether you want your character to move upwards in the hierarchy.

Unless specified upon joining, each new member starts off as Itse, the general member title. Whenever the player wants to, he/she can choose which profession path he or she wants their character to take up. This path is then set, but it is changeable if you are not happy with it. If you change your path, you must begin at the first title of that newly chosen path, unless you have previously advanced in it.

Even when a character is promoted into Leadership, they retain the title that they have previously taken up, making it possible for characters, even with a starting title, to move up in to Leadership. An exception to this is becoming Kalona — Kalona is a profession title in itself, and the highest title attainable. One cannot hold two titles at once, but one does naturally not lose the IC qualifications. Should the Kalona step down, he/she is allowed to take back his/hers original title, as far along the path as he/she had previously advanced.

Each path has three stages, and there are some demands that need to be met in order to move to the next stage.Your character must be an adult (6 months old or more) to take a title.
