Mictlan Pack

[Silver]

This is Xolotl's future pack! P.M. Silver if you'd like to send your character over here and we can discuss it c: Donations are very welcome but please don't feel pressured about it! I'd much rather you played a founding member than helped fund it although I definitely wouldn't decline your generously given points.

Etymology
#00394D | [MIH-t(uh)lah] | Mictlan was the underworld of Aztec mythology. Most people who died went to Mictlan, although other possibilities existed. -Wikipedia

TL;DR

Mictlan is a pack worshipping the God of Death, Miquiztli. Xolotl is believed to be the prophet of this god and that he carries His blood as well, meaning that any of his direct descendants are revered in the pack, seen as higher beings than those with no relations to him although they are, of course, respected. Each of Mictlan's members are believed to be reincarnations of wolves who have died honourably (you don't have to think of your wolf's past life—just keep this in mind as a major belief of theirs). Murder is fine with them with one exception—murder of a pack member by a pack member is scorned upon. The Tlayacatia (leader of Mictlan) is a direct descendant of Miquiztli which means that they either are Xolotl or from the line of his eldest sons; he is to breed with the Nantli, his mate, every year until he dies. Their ultimate goal in life is to both live and die honourably, earning the right to be reincarnated by Miquiztli and sent to join Mictlan's mighty ranks yet again.

D E S C R I P T I O N

An unlikely banding together of wolves both good and evil, sane and insane, large and small, male and female, Mictlan is held together by one thing that keeps them strong as a cohesive unit; they all believe in and worship Miquiztli, the God of Death, almighty and powerful in His reign. This common religion binds the members of Mictlan together, regardless of anything else. Their faith can be seen as dark and morbid, yet despite the deity's twisted subject, He is not necessarily evil. Whilst Mictlan does have some of the more sinister citizens of Anikira, it is not to say that evil defines them. To outsiders, perhaps, but to the members, they are all noble, loyal beings in their eyes, doing the right thing and serving the greatest cause to serve.

Xolotl, prophet of the timeless, formless God of Death, is believed to carry the blood of gods. In his eyes, Titan and Emerald, his parents, are metaphorical symbolisms, perhaps delusions of his mind. He only has one true parent, one parent far higher than his mortal, although great, 'parents'. Miquiztli is his true father and any descendant of his is to be revered and to be treated like the embodiment of God, for they carry the blood of Miquiztli, and in the case of Xolotl, purely Miquiztli's blood. Every firstborn son of a firstborn son is blessed with the size, brain, brawl, and might of the deity reigning almighty over Mictlan. They are the only wolves considered competent to hold the high position of Tlayacatia, being also blessed with the ability to be contacted directly by their progenitor, Miquiztli.

Death to Them
In Mictlan, Death is not just the ending of Life. It is a complex process, serving as both a reward and punishment. Every one of the religious pack's members have died most honourably, earning the seldom given respect of the celestial Miquiztli. He grants each honourable dead wolf reincarnation, sent to Mictlan to join their elite ranks, to become one of the greatest pack to walk Anikira's shores' members. Along with their equals, these reincarnations make up Death in Life, the dark shadow among dazzling light.

Murder, to them, is not a crime. The murderer is made more powerful, a higher being, immortalised through Death and the murdered has been given a brave way to die—fighting for their life. There is only honour and pride to be seen in murder, murderers both welcomed and respected within Mictlan's unique moral code. [see below for exception]

Eye Colours
Wolves with more than one eye colour are more powerful and strong—for every eye colour is one wolf and the wolf with multiple eye colours is the combined ability of multiple noble, deserving, strong wolves from past lives.

Ehecatl
The Ehecatl is a force to be reckoned with. Composed of the most deadly wolves to walk Anikira, its members are trained to kill over anything else, the jugular being the first thing to aim for in battle in their eyes. They are lead by the Lead Oquichtin, named by the Tlayacatia himself. In Xolotl's eyes, they are the most important component of Mictlan's powerful ranks.

Amma
Amma is a title of honour—it is used in referral to retired wolves usually, although members of the Ometeotl are occasionally referred to with Amma as well. It is a way of showing respect to wolves in everyday life and is not required but considered polite—think of it as saying please and thank you to others as an equivalent comparison.

Youths often pick a specific retired wolf (Ohzolli or Oxomo) as their Amma. That Amma is the wolf that they aspire to live like and they will often approach their Amma for advice. Eztlis and Pilpils sometimes choose wolves that are not retired—they oft choose one of their parents, the Tlayacatia or the the Nantli. Sometimes the royal children choose the Ohontetl as well.

Honourable Deaths
In battle fighting for Miquiztli
Defending followers of Miquiztli
If not betrayal to Miquiztli, fighting for one's life
Giving birth to pups with honourable parents (honourable deemed by whether they are a non-Cuauhcalco and non-apprentice member of Mictla or not)
Birth complications (applies to both pups and mother)
Suicide (considered honourable since it is 'walking willingly and without fear into Death's open arms')

Punishable Offences (punishable by death - punishable by imprisonment)
Treason/betrayal to Miquiztli
Severe rebellion against superiors (pups against adults/non-royal against royal/lesser any-ranked wolf against higher Ometeotl wolf)
Taking an Ichpochtli's virginity
Taking a female direct descendant of Xolotl's virginity without Tlayacatia's explicit permission
Oxomos taking mates
Tlayacatia (would be punished by Miquiztli-loyal pack members) or Nantli mating with anyone but each other
Murder of pack members by pack members (does not apply to Cuauhcalcos; also the only exception to murder being okay)

Origins
Miquiztli
Might write the origins of Miquiztli but it would have to be relevant. P.M. Silver if you have ideas, but if not, I'll leave this out.

Xolotl
It was a day like any other when a wolf like no other was conceived. A small, petite she-wolf, only just about young enough to carry pups, was exploring the territory of her new pack. Unfortunately, she wandered too far—far enough to find herself in the vicinity of a great wolf of size, Beta of an opposing pack. The fae was raped, leaving her with three pups, all of which would leave her.

Fast forward three months and three pups were birthed in the jungle of Kal'dyne, claimed by a pack that went by the moniker of Valyn, led by females and with a mistrust of males. The eldest, a male, was christened Jasper. He was of gargantuan size, towering over everyone in his female-dominated natal pack. The second-born, a female, was the runt of the litter, minuscule compared to even her mother who was on the small side of things herself. She was denominated with the unfitting name of Mint. And then there was the youngest, another female, given the name Silver.

Jasper was a quiet, reserved male. He observed from the shadows, watching Mint and Silver grow their strong heads, obviously disliking Valyn and their mother. The eldest and only male, however, remained ever silent and brooding. Of the trio, he was the most mysterious and self-oriented, preferring to avoid the prejudice of Valyn. Ironically, the supposedly submissive male was the only one in the litter who did not seem to oppose Valyn's female-run beliefs. He did not support them either, instead keeping his deep voice unused, allowing life to go its way.

As the pups became more and more independent, caring for themselves instead of their mother doing all of the work for them, Jasper became more and more secluded. Although he was physically there, he was almost nonexistent despite his hulking mass. He would sneak off often, spending time hunting. There was a certain thrill in having control over life and death, ending something so intricate and as multi-layered as life. The many facets of one's life... Gone in so little time. To think that others had just as deep and as complex a life as him and that their life ended... It fascinated him, so he hunted more and more, watching the life seep out of prey. Some had quick deaths, Jasper watching them die the coward's way out, and others had their suffering extended, every one of the adolescent's dark antics hidden from his dysfunctional family.

It was only once both Silver and Mint had distanced themselves from their mother, Emerald—they had both undeniably left the pack if Jasper knew them at all—that the male began to distance himself from Emerald, seeking a solitary life in Kal'dyne where he would collect the dead, examining their corpses before burying them to keep them fresh should he wish to study them again.

After a while, it became apparent that Waryck Jungle could not provide Jasper with the pleasure that he so desired. When the scents of a pack that Jasper knew only as Kairos—it reeked of power and brutes, like the male's mother had described to him—filled his home, the male knew to leave. Surreptitiously, he slipped through the shadows as he always had, leaving to roam the island of Anikira.

Not wanting his previous name, the multihued brute decided upon Xolotl, the name of a powerful wolf told to the adolescent through stories. Roaming Anikira, Xolotl lived, observing the dead with a dark fascination. He killed his first wolf like that, on an impulse, curious as to how this mechanism worked on his own kind. With skills that he taught himself after leaving Kal'dyne and brute size and strength, the dark-furred male took down a stranger when they were not expecting it, keeping the body to observe for as long as it would stay fresh.

Once the carcass had rotted away and there was nothing left to study, Xolotl began wandering again, unsure of what to do apart from study death. However, stories told to Xol from his mother came back to him.

She had told him of a great and mighty Kairos—well, it had been worded differently, but what she told him of was essentially a powerful, strong pack—and, seeking acceptance and power himself, he sought a place in this pack. There was also another reason—to find his father.

When Xolotl and his two sisters were deemed old enough to understand by their mother, the Arctic fae had told her litter of three of a colossal brute, towering far over all of them, apart from perhaps Xolotl himself, who had held an aura of dominance and supremacy. The behemoth had raped Emerald, she said, giving her the three offspring that she had been raising at the time.

Admiring this legendary figure of power, Xol was given yet another reason to search for Kairos. His first stop was the border of Acerbus.

There, Xolotl met the bear-like wolf given the name Typhon. He had been expecting Goliath, the infamous Emperor of Kairos that the entire continent of Anikira knew of, but Typhon was just as powerful if he had obtained the title, Xolotl told himself. It was there that he met a strange, tiny creature by the name of Aisling—a fennec fox. He was fascinated by her petite frame and out-of-proportion body parts, using the female as a lab rat of sorts to unleash his curiosity on.

A few days later, Xolotl stumbled across Tarak, a male who had intruded upon Acerbus, lands rightfully Kairos'. Accompanied by Typhon, Xolotl defended his pack with pride and dignity although he did not escape unscathed; injured from a blow from Tarak, Xolotl required medical attention. He did not like to show weakness so did not seek out treatment, but he got treatment anyway.

When a large female by the name of Cihua stumbled across Xolotl, she attended to the larger brute's wounds and, piquing the male's curiosity, said a prayer to Miquiztli. Asking Cihua about the prayer, Xolotl discovered who Miquiztli was and of His greatness. Eventually, he began to believe in Him, spiralling the necromaniac further into insanity as he became delusional about his lineage and place in the world. He became, to himself, the Prophet of Death, prophet of the God of Death.

In the Future
Xolotl will kill his mother
Xol and Tar will meet again and start to heal their relationship
Aisling will be deemed a prophetess by a prophetic dream sent to Xol
Xol will find Zac killing effortlessly and efficiently, earning Xol's respect
Xol will discover who his father is [depends on what Ty says in reply to Xol's joining pitch]

[Silver]

OMETEOTL - leadership tier

Tlayacatia: The Tlayacatia leads Mictlan, his word overruling all other wolves' word. His word is the word of Miquiztli himself, being blessed with the ability to directly communicate with the God of Death. He is always the eldest son of a deceased eldest son and a direct descendant of the great Xolotl. He is only to ever breed with the Nantli, and such an act is a required duty for him yearly.
Nantli: Mictlan's Nantli is the Tlayacatia's mate, only ever able to breed with him. She is picked from the Ichpochtli rank and is given newfound reign over the females of the pack in her mate's absence. Every year, she is to breed with the Tlayacatia, spreading the seed of Miquiztli himself as she is to carry his descendants. For every new Tlayacatia there is, there will be a new Nantli, chosen from the Ichpochtli and the new Tlayacatia's mother will be retired to Oxomo. The Nantli is also an expert in healing and parenting/birth-related things, overseeing the Quilitls and Toctlis in their duties. She may accept new females into the pack.
Ohontetl: Unlike with the other Ometeotl ranks, the Ohontetl is the Ohontetl until he retires of old age rather than until a new Tlayacatia comes into power. He is a trusted, good friend of the Tlayacatia, tasked with the leadership of the males in the absence of their Tlayacatia and the females in the absence of both the Tlayacatia and Nantli. He is the Tlayacatia's most trusted advisor and has the ability to accept wolves into the pack, his leader's word, however, overriding his own of course.
Ipiltzin: Although he has no actual authority over the followers of Miquiztli, the Ipiltzin is highly respected among Mictlan. He is the eldest son of the Tlayacatia and Nantli, to inherit the throne once his father dies. Until he assumes the position, he is to be trained by his father personally in leadership qualities and the bond between himself and Miquiztli strengthened; also, he must remain virgin until he assumes the throne.

Whenever an Ometeotl rank is assumed by a new wolf, the Tlayacatia must say these words: "Miquiztli tlayacatia yancuican ticcana." This is to ask for and to gain the acceptance of Miquiztli.

EHECATL - army tier

Lead Oquichtin: Being the most formidable warrior of Mictlan, the Lead Oquichtin is considered a high rank to hold. He or she, although preferably he, is hand-picked by the Tlayacatia himself when the previous Lead Oquichtin either dies or retires out of the Oquichtin of Mictlan. They lead the Ehecatl, a fearsome band of various warriors trained in various areas. They must approve of any wolf joining the Ehecatl.
Oquichtin: Promoted from the Oquichtis by the Lead Oquichtin, the Oquichtin are the more experienced and/or better warriors overall. They are generally good at all fields in battle and are the strategy behind attacks rather than simply muscle or a specific part of the battle. Usually and preferably, Oquichtin will be male.
Tlaxapochtli: Although Tlaxapochtlis are not used in day-to-day combat, they are essential in wars and in the punishment of traitors; when a wolf is sought after to be a Cuauhcalco, it is the Tlaxapochtli rank that captures them. They are responsible for guarding them as well. These males—usually males—must be stealthy, swift, and strong, able to fend off the toughest of wanted wolves.
Tlapiaya: Tlapiayas are perhaps the most everyday rank of the Ehecatl, yet extremely important to it, responsible for guarding Miera [or Caurus, to be edited when founded and territory is confirmed] and also protecting the members of Mictlan who are not members of the powerful Ehecatl. They are the bulkiest and strongest males, needing to simply have muscle on their side and only enough brains to not do anything outstandingly stupid. As with most of the Ehecatl, Tlapiayas are almost always males, especially since they must have more muscle mass, and females are only sent to this rank if they show unbelievably great talent in this area.
Tlamicti: Although the entire pack of Mictlan is trained in murder, Tlamictis have murder as the only thing that they do. Murder is what Tlamictis are best at, able to deliver deaths both fast and slow, painful and painless, complex and simple. They are, put simply, the assassins, sent to eliminate traitors and other undesirables.
Tlapialoya: Tlapialoyas are extremely swift and stealthy, the most lightweight of the Ehecatl. They are sent to foreign lands and packs to spy on them, gathering information and often assisting Tlamictis in their assignments.
Itencualac: The Quilitl's darker counterpart, Itencualacs use plants and herbs to Mictli's advantage, but not to heal. They harm. This more shady branch of herbology requires a more intimate knowledge of plants since it is significantly harder to learn, but they are revered in the pack for their skill. Sometimes their poison is used for the kill and sometimes it is used for dealing lesser damage, but regardless, the Itencualacs of the Ehecatl are the most intelligent and the most unique.
Tonana: Holding the place of the only Ehecatl rank composed of not only preferably and mostly females but all females, no exceptions, Tonanas are usually mothers themselves and are tasked with the important job of protecting and raising the young. They are responsible for defending and fighting for the Eztlis and Totelpoches as well as the Conetzin and Pilpils should they require protection in an attack on Mictlan or if they are in other trouble. They also babysit should pups require supervision.
Oquichti: Oquichtis are the main muscle of Mictlan, frontline battle fodder and the base of the Ehecatl. They are trained in direct combat and are usually and preferably male. Although they are considered the basic rank of the Ehecatl, they are essential to the invincible force, making up the bulk of Mictlan's military. Some of them taking interest in other Ehecatl ranks can use Oquichti as a starting place for their future role in the Ehecatl.
Oquichtia: The preferred apprentice rank for males, Oquichtia are Oquichtis in training. They are rarely female and females will only be allowed to train under exceptional circumstances—this is, of course, excluding future Tonanas, of which are entirely female. They are trained to kill as the first thing in their apprenticeship—all wolves are trained to kill in their Inconeuh stage, although these skills are expanded upon if the Inconeuh chooses to take the Ehecatl path. They have no breeding rights until promoted.

TETLANAQUINI - pack provider tier

Quilitl: When a wolf is not quite ready to face Miquiztli and judgement for their death, they go to a Quilitl. This rank is well-versed in healing, led by the Nantli and working together as a harmonious unit in order to preserve Life and delay Death. They are almost always female, only ever male if he fails every other path in Mictlan. They also assist the Nantli in birthing matters should she require another healer's assistance.
Toctli: Trained by the Quilitl and the Nantli, Toctlis are healers in training, still learning what all of the herbs do and working on their healer's instincts. They can be promoted whenever the Nantli sees fit. Like with Quilitls, Toctlis are only ever male if all other paths failed them. They have no breeding rights until promoted.
Tlatlama: The most experienced and talented of the hunters, the Tlatlama leads the Anqui of Mictlan in hunting. He or she also leads the training of the Tlamaznequis.
Anqui: Anquis are the hunters or huntresses of Mictlan, providing the pack with sustenance in times of difficulty.
Tlamaznequi: Aspiring Anquis, Tlamaznequis are trained by Anquis and the Tlatlama in hunting until the Tlatlama deems one of them fit enough to join their ranks as true adults. They have no breeding rights until promoted.
Quiyahuac: Trusted by the Tlayacatia himself, the Quiyahuacs of the pack are messengers, sent to deliver the words of Mictlan's leader to opposing, allying, or neutral packs or even to spread the word of something to loners or even a specific wolf. They have good, word-for-word memory and are speedy in their delivery and return, hopefully with a reply to the Tlayacatia's message.

INCONEUH - apprentice tier, no breeding rights

Acachto: Having joined Mictlan later in their life, Acachtos are likely not well-versed in the deity Miquiztli so, therefore, they are kept in the Inconeuh stage to learn of the God of Death before choosing their path. As always, they learn to kill efficiently if they cannot already as will they refine any basic skills that they may be rusty on.
Pilpil: Direct descendants of the mighty Xolotl, they are not only taught in the areas that Conetzin are taught in, but also in pride and regality. Pilpils are set apart from Eztlis as they are older than six months. Females are taught chastity and modesty and males are taught on choosing worthy mates and how grand their bloodline is as well as training the brutes in battle. They are later promoted to a specific apprentice path.
Conetzin: Older than six months and non-royal, Mictlan-born wolves, Conetzin are taught the ways and lore of Miquiztli as well as basic survival skills. They are, as are all members of Mictlan, taught the ins and outs of murder.

TEIMACACIZ - respected tier, minimal work required from them

Ohzolli: Considered old enough for their respective species to die of old age, Ohzollis are the elders of Mictlan. They have served the pack for a long time and are to be respected and revered for what they have seen. The kindest of them are go-to for general advice and, for youngsters, stories of times long gone. A wolf must have served the pack for at least six months in order to retire.
Ichpochtli: Female virgins, Ichpochtli have displayed desirable traits in both an alphess and a progenitor for the next generation of kings and princes and princesses. Chosen by the Tlayacatia as potential mates for his eldest son, the Ipiltzin, to choose from when the youth takes over the throne, they are respected within Mictlan and cared for since they may well mother their future leader. The current Nantli trains them in all things feminine, from healing to mothering to being a helpful mate for when they assume their mentor's rank.
Oxomo: Oxomos have mothered kings, the current Tlayacatia a direct descendant of them. They were once the Nantli but their mate has, since then, passed away and they have been pushed aside for another female to fulfil her previous duties. They are respected and revered in the pack, usually far more experienced than other wolves of their age and are treated like elders. They are go-to for advice on parenting, healing, or leadership.
Eztli: The children of the Tlayacatia and Nantli, they are direct descendants of Xolotl and are treated above Totelpoch. Taught from a young age to be proper, they usually grow out of their childish immaturity faster than their Totelpoch counterparts. They are under six months old.
Totelpoch: Pups under six months old who are not direct descendants of Xolotl.

AHUIATETEO - omega/prisoner tier

Cuauhcalco: Essentially slaves to the pack, Cuauhcalcos hold very little to no value, serving as nothing more but trophies of wars won. They are prisoners of Mictlan, perhaps of war, perhaps in punishment of an offence. There is very little to no chance of legal release from their rank once they get there.

The Oquichtliz is a journey, designed to strengthen young warriors mentally, physically, and spiritually. Oquichtia do not all go at the same age—some may fly through their apprenticeship and will go before even their first birthday whilst others will be slower learners. There is no judgement passed on how long one's apprenticeship takes and could last many years if one chooses to join the Ehecatl. The Lead Oquichtin and Tlayacatia may pass judgement on whether or not an Oquichtia is ready to go on this journey, although the Tlayacatia only steps in when they feel that the Lead Oquichtin is making a grievous mistake in keeping an Oquichtia in training.

DEPARTURE
Once the decision has been made for an Oquichtia to embark on the Oquichtliz, the apprentice may not object. He or she is obliged to go forth and take the first step to becoming a full member of Mictlan.

First of all, they must leave the comfort of home, denied access to Caurus until they return having reached their completion criteria or give up on the warrior path, forever denied access to the glorious Ehecatl. Those who bail the Oquichtliz are highly looked down upon, male or female, and although they will not be formally punished, they will likely never be put in a high position or trusted with important tasks.

When an Oquichtlia leaves, they must seek loner territory. They will have to watch their backs for the duration of the Oquichtliz for hostile loners and other threats that will not be prevented by his or her packmates. As of now, they will be able to wander freely in I'queyer, Rim'dar, and Igneir. They may switch territories as often or as little as they wish and will not be followed or observed.

UHH WELL THIS IS A WIP LOL
