RYUUKISHIN'S RANK CHANGE REQUESTS
Rules
● Rank change requests are growths to another lineart, such as gamma to omega or beta to alpha. They do not have to go in any order (if your Varg is a gamma, it can grow straight to alpha and won't need to be a beta first).
● If your pet has been colored by someone other than Ryuukishin, please go to that colorist's thread for your rank change.
● This thread is for forms only. (Multiple forms may be in a single post.) If you have any questions, please post in the main thread, PM me, or ask in your form. Responses will either be through quote (if posted in the main thread), PM (if PM'd), or a comment in red font edited into your post (if posted with a form), depending on your method of asking.
● Do not delete posts (even if you posted a mistake or changed your mind). At most, simply edit everything out and leave the post blank.

RANK CHANGE REQUESTSGeneral
● Rank change requests apply only for adult-to-adult changes, not pup-to-adolescent or adolescent-to-adult growths (those grow automatically. In cases of late growths, try asking in the main thread if the colorist is busy, and if he or she isn't, feel free to ask about your late growth via PM).
● Rank change requests can be either within the same rank or a different one (ie. you can have your wild gamma grow into the alternate lines). However, if your Varg is not part of a pack, it cannot request pack lines and vice versa.
● After a rank change request has been accepted, you may roleplay your Varg as its new rank even if the colorist has yet to complete his or her new image.
● Colorists may refuse a rank change request if the required roleplays have not been completed or the desired rank does not match the pet's personality (ie. if the roleplays show a Varg is completely submissive, it will not be grown into alpha lines).
● If your Varg is in a pack, remember that certain ranks are limited. If your Varg's pack already has two alphas and betas, for instance, your Varg cannot apply to grow into one unless one of the existing ones leave/your Varg finds another pack with room for that rank.
● Permission is required by the owner of a pack for high ranks (such as alphas and betas) due to the limited amount allowed per pack. If you request a growth for an alpha or beta rank in a pack that is not your own, please let us know in your form that you have the pack owner(s)' permission.
● It would help to provide multiple uncerts of your Varg when requesting a growth (such as an adolescent and adult stage) if you can, so that colorists can better see markings that may be hidden on certain lines.
Average Growth Times
● Newborn to Pup: 1-2 Weeks
● Pup to Adolescent / Helper Infant to Helper Adult: 3-4 Weeks
● Adolescent to Adult: 4-6 Weeks
● Adult to Adult (Rank Change): ASAP
Pack Limitations
● Dragga/Drappa (Male and Female Alpha respectively.): Two per pack.
● Beta: Two per pack.
● Gamma: Unlimited.
● Sikla (Omega): Unlimited, although there are generally few omegas in a pack, or at least less than the amount of gammas.
● Kerl (Lone): Unlimited; they are not part of a pack.
● Elder: Unlimited.
● Speaker / Seer: Varies per pack; they are not considered a separate rank and every seer has his or her own rank, whether it be alpha or lone or anything in between.
● Searcher: They cannot be a part of a pack.
Roleplay Requirements
● Dragga/Drappa (Male and Female Alpha respectively.): Five completed roleplays. At least three of those roleplays must show other wolves joining the future alpha's pack (not required if your wolf becomes an Alpha by defeating the previous alpha of a well-established pack, although you will still need a total of five). These roleplays must show the wolf has what it takes to be an alpha and how your wolf raised in rank.
● Beta: Three completed roleplays. At least one must show the future beta in the pack he or she was born in/joined, and these roleplays must show the wolf has what it takes to be a beta and how your wolf raised in rank.
● Balkar: One completed roleplay showing the wolf being accepted into the Balkar ranks. Originally, Balkar were chosen for their strength and exceptionally strong night vision, and so the roleplay must show the Balkar-to-be is worthy of the Balkar title (physical prowess and good night vision aren't required, but if they're lacking, the Varg must show its strength through other means). For more information on the Balkar, go here [UNDER CONSTRUCTION].
● Alpha/Beta Balkar: If you'd like to obtain the other Balkar ranks, you must complete the requirements for both ranks (ie. if you were trying for a Balkar Alpha, you must fulfill the Alpha requirements and the Balkar requirements) and provide one additional roleplay with the Balkar's immediate superior (for a Balkar Alpha-to-be, it is Bogdan, the leader of all Bakar. For Balkar Betas-to-be, it is the alpha in his or her pack). Note that, because these positions are limited (there can only be six Balkar Alphas at one time and twelve Balkar Betas), the superior may choose to reject your Varg's promotion. Should this occur, you may either try again in the future or aim for a different Balkar pack. (Note that there are no other Balkar ranks save for the mentioned alpha, beta, and gamma. If your Varg is a Balkar and you request it be grown into a Sikla, it will be assumed that your Varg has left the Balkar.)
● Gamma: One roleplay related to the Varg's pack (this can be a joining roleplay, or one where the wolf participates in pack activities). (There is no requirement for growing to the Gamma stage if your Varg is not yet an adult.)
● Sikla (Omega): One roleplay related to the Varg's pack (this can be a joining roleplay, or one where the wolf participates in pack activities). (There is no requirement for growing to the Sikla stage if your Varg is not yet an adult.)
● Kerl (Lone/Vagabond): One roleplay outside of a pack. (There is no requirement for growing to the Kerl stage if your Varg is not yet an adult.)
● Storyteller*: One roleplay in the Storytelling subforum. The wolf must have been an adult of a different rank for at least one month.
● Elder*: One roleplay. The Varg must be at least eight years of age in character.
● Speaker*: A Speaker is randomly chosen, similar to Seers. However, a wolf can grow to be a Speaker with enough dedication. Eight completed roleplays are needed for this. The roleplays must show that both you and your wolf are capable of using the powers of a Speaker responsibly. If it doesn't, colorists have the right to refuse to grow your wolf or decline raising the level of your wolf's Speaker abilities. For more information on Speakers and their powers, please go here [UNDER CONSTRUCTION].
● ● Level 1 to 2: Five additional roleplays.
● ● Decreasing Levels: Your Speaker's abilities will weaken or disappear completely if his or her abilities are abused.
● Seer*: None. A Seer and the level of its power is randomly chosen and the rank cannot be gained through roleplay, although its powers may strengthen with roleplay. The roleplays must show that both you and your wolf are capable of using the powers of a Seer responsibly. If it doesn't, colorists have the right to decline raising the level of your Seer. For more information on Seers and their powers, please go here [UNDER CONSTRUCTION].
● ● Level 1 to 2: Two completed roleplays.
● ● Level 2 to 3: Four completed roleplays.
● ● Level 3 to 4: Six completed roleplays.
● ● Decreasing Levels: Your Seer's abilities will weaken or disappear completely if his or her abilities are abused.
● Searcher*: Ten roleplays, one of which must show how your Varg passed away. Remember that this rank is permanent, and a Varg's rank cannot be changed in the future once you have turned him or her into a Searcher. If you would like more information on Searchers, please go here [UNDER CONSTRUCTION]. (Note: Searchers do not have their own unique lines. When your wolf becomes a Searcher, his or her latest image is used, and turned a bit more ghost-like.)
● Type Change: Type change involves changing your Varg from Wild to Tamed, and vice versa. Wild Varg are your standard wolves, while the tamed are those who accept a human / humans as their alpha. To switch your Varg's type, you must provide one roleplay showing how and why your Varg chose to change. (Note, though, that Tamed wolves are limited to the Tamed Gamma lines. If you're not sure why, go here. [UNDER CONSTRUCTION])
● All ranks marked with asterisks (*) are available for both Wild and Tamed wolves.
Additional Speaker/Seer Information:
● You must fill out a request form to raise the level of Speakers and Seers.
● Overlapping roleplays for Speakers and Seers is allowed. However, to do so, you must meet the requirements for both. For example, if you'd like to raise the level of a Seer and grow him or her into an alpha, as well, but you don't want to make five extra roleplays, the roleplays must show that your wolf is responsible with his or her powers and that he or she is capable of being an alpha.
● If your wolf is a Speaker or Seer, it's possible for you to grow him or her to a different rank. Whether the lineart is changed or not is up to you (for instance, if you have an alpha who's also a Seer, you may have him or her in either the alpha lineart or Seer lineart), seeing as all of the information will be located on the cert.[b][u]Rank Change Request![/u][/b]
