Transformer Canon Ranks!

Maybe I’m late to the party, but I didn’t know this was a thing until recently. Official ranks of Autobots and Decepticons in the WFC Trilogy cartoon!

I love how it’s set up. There are tons of different combinations. Check out the Decepticon combos (Below)

For example, this one is Starscream’s (below)

And there are TONS more. You can get clearer photos and in depth descriptions here!:  https://tfwiki.net/wiki/Cybertronian_military_insignia https://tfwiki.net/wiki/Cybertronian_military_insignia/gallery

The Quarter Gunner

In the Royal Navy in the mid-18th century, the term "quarter gunner" was used for a type of sailor who was specialised in the maintenance of guns. The post was part of the gun crew, and one quarter gunner was assigned for every four guns.

The quarter gunner was a type of non-commissioned officer in the ranks of the 19th century United States Navy. Similar to the Royal Navy, there was one quarter gunner for every four guns. Quarter gunners were under the command of gunner's mates and were responsible for the maintenance and operation of the guns.

The Gunner who stood over them was thus relieved of his numerous duties.

As always, I loved the latest chapter of Those Gentle Slopes!!

I was wondering, do you think if Ciel were to become a demon that his rank would even be higher than sebastian just because of how much the other demons fear Seb and how protective/obsessed he is with Ciel? Like all the other demons would be scared of messing with Ciel because they know Sebastian would rip them apart and so everyone treats him with the same or even more respect than they do to Sebastian.

Idk, I can’t stop thinking that Seb would most probably still be crazy in love with Ciel and he would protect him from everything and everyone, even knowing that he doesn’t need it anymore. What do you think?

Thank you, I'm so glad to hear this! And thanks for a great question. Here's a post about how the hierarchy of demons works in my story, if you're interested and haven't seen it yet.

With Ciel, it will be both like you described and not really! In terms of status as in ranking, Ciel won't have a high one. Technically, any person could ask to be turned into a demon, and they cannot receive a high status because they are not true-born. Turned demons cannot correspond to the level of born demons. So, in TGSTLTH, humans-turned-demons take the lowest position in Hell, but they don’t have enough time to understand it because they are killed almost instantly. Other demons despise them and eagerly hunt them. Demons who turned these humans gladly murder them out of spite the moment their contract ends.  

Ciel would stand few chances on his own at the start, but he’ll indeed be protected by Sebastian, who holds a high status. This dynamic will be so fun to write about because Ciel is definitely going to turn his nose up at everyone, driving all the important demons mad in their frustration :D Eventually, he'll make a name for himself outside of Sebastian's smothering protection.

There was a person who suggested another interesting scenario: that Hannah might have transferred her status to Ciel as she chose to turn him and die. I've been contemplating it because it'd open so many possibilities. First, she has a considerable rank, and Ciel would love it. Most importantly, she seemed to be some kind of succubus. Imagine Sebastian's reaction to Ciel becoming this type of demon :D He'd lose his marbles upon realizing it. Ciel himself, in turn, might not be comfortable with it as well, with his trauma, but it could be interesting to explore, too. So I'm still deciding on which way to go.

hey worldbuilders!!

i stumbled across this document from the US air force about the history of ranks! it's called "Why is the Colonel called Kernal"

great read! my favorite lines from the booklet were

anyhow it talks about how rank names came about. i found it interesting! maybe you will too!

[warriors-reshuffled]

I see universal rank and own customs, is it safe to assume the clans have a few roles specific to one clan and such? If so, can we see them all eyes

Hi there, thanks for stopping by!

Part of the reason I took so long to answer is because coming up with Thunderclan’s special rank was giving me a run for my money. I wanted it to be something other than climbing, because that’s Skyclan’s thing. And so far, well, nothing’s really sprung to mind (tho I am open to ideas)

But I do have fun ranks for the other clans I’m quite fond of

Shadowclan - Night-stalkers

Most clan cats live a crepuscular life; most active around morning and evening. Night-stalkers take this to the extreme. They are awake solely during the night, hunting and patrolling while their neighbors sleep. To even be considered for this role a warrior must demonstrate a high amount of stealth and cunning. Both traits are highly respected among Shadowclan cats.

With how dangerous the territory is, they often work in pairs. One keeps an eye out for trouble while the other gathers whatever material is needed. They are also known to leave clan territory, using the cover of darkness as a cloak. Whenever they do leave on these expeditions they are careful to never leave any hint of their presence behind.

In darker times, Night-stalkers were used as assassins against the other clans. It is said these cats could kill someone and sneak away without any sign of them being there. Others could slit your throat so discreetly you would never notice. These duties are, of course, no longer practiced.

Or so Shadowclan claims.

Riverclan - Divers

All Riverclan cats know how to swim, but only a brave few truly conquer the waters. Divers are trained to hold their breath for extended periods of time on a dive. As a result they are able to easily harvest freshwater mussels and specific plants found at the bottom of the river. But this rank isn’t without its dangers. Aside from drowning or getting stolen away by unseen currents, it’s the fish one must worry about. Some catfish can swallow a grown warrior whole without a trace.

Because of these risks, divers are looked to as the best warriors Riverclan has to offer. Powerful enough to defy the river and fortunate enough to escape its wrath. Many of Riverclan’s stories feature a diver as the brave hero.

Riverclan - Bards

If there’s one thing Riverclan loves more than showing off, it’s their folkstories. This rank combines those two aspects into one display. Bards memorize songs passed down countless generations before performing to the crowd. Music is often played alongside the songs, the clan more often than not drumming along. Duets are the favored way to perform, though soloists have plenty of opportunities to cultivate their ego.

This rank tends to be trickier than other clans realize. Not only does it require a beautiful voice, a strong memory is a must. A familiar drumming rhythm can only do so much. Get a single word wrong and your fellow-Bards will not hesitate to derail your performance with laughter. Though it’s all in good fun… so they claim.

Windclan - Runners and Tunnelers

Unlike the other clans, Windclan finds its population split in two. Runners walk the moors above ground, taking advantage of their speed and agility to chase anything down. Meanwhile tunnelers use their intelligence and crafting to construct sprawling tunnels to hunt and patrol in. Sometimes these tunnels stretch into other clans’ territory, allowing them to steal prey undetected.

This divide between ranks is established almost at birth. Runner kits are discouraged from playing will tunneler kits and vice versa. Tunnelers are pressured to find a tunneler mate and ignore runner bachelors. At the most extreme times it feels like there are two clans living in the same camp. For now, things are fairly peaceful between them. But who knows how long this will last.

Because of this divide, two stereotypes have emerged about these moor cats. Runners are known to be tall, leggy, and so fragile-looking you’d think they would blow away in the wind. Tunnelers, on the other paw, are small and stocky with simpler pelt patterns. They are known to be crafty and comparatively dark-humored. Almost like Shadowclanners at times. Of course, they’re likely to slap you senseless if they heard you say that.

Ranks and more

Note: This is a very big WIP since July 30rd, so there's things that can be changed in the future, and aslo, propably have a lot of grammar errors.

And also, i forgot that i didn't add the crafters in the first time i posted this, so i will be editing this now, to fix this.

Of course, the ranks is a very important part of the clans, so i wanted to add more options for the ranks, and i wanted to add more "senior" important ranks, since if a cat want a carrer goal in clan life, the cat only would have two options, deputy or leader, you can try to be a senior warrior or a healer senior, but outside that there's not very much to do.

Some changes, additions and descriptions that i made:

Ranks:

Leader - Obviously, the leader gives the orders, cares for the clan, makes the big decisions, still, the leader's word is law, leaders can have kits and family, since i never understand this in canon, but okay, they have the their 9 lives, and have the Star before the name;

Deputy - The second in command, they organize patrols, resolve matters in the clan when the leader is not present, they take care most of the clans affairs, before passing it to the leader, if you are a queen or king to be, they can suspend your rank duties, so you have a better care for the kits, without consulting the leader, they are refered as Ms., Mr. and Mx. in formal situations, examples: Ms. Bluefur and Mr. Redtail; Any rank except apprentices, kits and the leader can become the deputy;

Healer - It's basically the Med. Cat in the books, they cure people, and talk to dead people, but they can still hunt to the clan if wanted, learning some battle moves for self-defense if necessary, also healers can have mates and kits now, since the rule that they can't is stupid, but there's a small requirement before having kits, that's that the healers should have an apprentice before having any kits, if they don't, it's considered a taboo thing;

>Lead healer - Basically if there's more than one healer, there will be one that will be considered the lead healer, they will be the one that will always be called and cosulted by the leader, usually since the lead healer would be the one with the most experience, and resolve herb trading and conflits between healers of the other clan with their clan;

Caretaker - Obvisouly, this will be the cats who will take care of and teachinh the kits, but also the elders and the sick, if there's not any kits, elders or sick cats, they will be taking care of the camp, and helping assist other ranks, they would be also seen colecting material with the crafters of the clan;

>Lead caretaker - Like the lead healer, this one will be when there's more than two caretakers this time, they would be in charge of supervising the work of the other caretakers, helping choose the mentors of the future apprentices, and knowing more about the leader's and deputy's future plans than the others;

Crafter - The ones that creates the tools, build the dens, make the clothing, and alot more of other things, crafters are very important to a clan's survival, since they are the ones that can make the things for them to survive;

>Lead crafter - He organizes the work, surpervising the others, see what they need to do before leafbare, and other things, they are very respected in the clan, and a clan can have at 2 or 3 lead crafters if they are lucky;

Guard - As it says, theses will be the guards of the camp, this rank is quite rare to see since warriors already makes most of the guards duties, but they basically guard the camp all night, and all day(taking shifts between guards), they are the only cats that can escort healers to the moonstone(later moonpool), and often, when leaders, deputies, healers and any leads wants to have a private discussion, theses guys will be guarding where they are discussing, if the guards are not necessary in a certain type, they can hunt or help other roles;

>Senior guard - They are basically the bodyguards of the high ranks, when there is 2 or more guards and a guard is old enough, they becomes the personal guard of a specific high rank, can be the leader, deputy, healer or any lead, they also can be giving a specific place to protect(ex. Nursery or the Elders den), it's very rare to see a senior guard, so if a clan have one or multiple senior guards, the clan can be seen as very flourishing;

Warrior - Same as canon, they hunt, patrol amd defend the borders, fight in the wars when it happens, but they instead of being encouraged of attacking and even killing outsiders(looking at you Tigerpaw and Thistleclaw), they are encouraged to try to recruit new cats to the clan, or to try to have new blood in the clan, so then the Clans can avoid incest;

>Senior warrior - They do the same things Warriors do, but they are more respected and trusted by the leader, deputy, healer and the leads, if possible, they can have a personal guard, they generally are the first cats that a clan thinks are deputy material, since the seniors are very trusted, they are usually send as messengers for the other clans, to give a message and to rely the message to the high ranks of the clan, they also can help the deputy to organize patrols, and usually helping in driving away dangerous threats;

Hunter - Basically a warrior, but they solely hunt, unlike the Warriors, they have a big pressure to always catch and bring fresh kill, but since they are not expect to fight and do border patrol, they can more easily focus on hunting, and having more success, the hunter role is generally recommended to cats that are afraid or can't fight, so there's this thing in the clans, that if you are a hunter instead of a warrior, you're either weakling or a scaredy cat;

>Lead hunter - They act as a second "deputy" in some way, since they have the liberty to organize some hunting patrol with the "lead" title, a lead hunter is chosen when there's 3 or more hunters in a clan, and if there's more hunters than commonly, a second lead hunter can be chosen, but excluiding this, they are basically a normal hunter yet, the title doesn't give beneficy as the others;

>Assistant - So this is a interesting one, they are a kinda of a second role, so if a cat is Warrior they can also have a minor role of a caretaker, so they would be a caretaker's assistant, this also can be aplied to elders who still wants to help the clan, while in camp;

Apprentice - Same as canon, -paw at the end of the name, till 12 moons to graduate if possible, graduating early is a achievement and graduating later can be seen as bad thing, they are still doing the thing of helping and caring for the camp, but are very minor, since there is ranks for it, but an extra thing that i added, i will be explaining in the kits rank;

Queen/King/Lord - The queens in canon, the perma queen are the caretakers now, so theses titles are temporary only, to a cat that is currently caring for their kits, and that's not exclusively to she-cats now;

Kits - Still are forbidden to go out of the camp, and are expected to be apprentices when the 6 moons marks hit, but before that, when they complete 5 moons, a caretaker or multiple caretakers do a tour with them around the camp, and sometimes even in the forest, but still close to the camp, so they can know the roles more clearly, see what they do, how their routines go and more, this can be done one time or multiple times in the moon, so when they turn in apprentices, they will be training in what they want in a more clear view of what will be their future;

Elders - Basically any cat that retires, leaders and healers can retire too, with leaders losting their nine lives after retiring, elders bury the cats that died, and tell stories to younger generations.

.

That was a monstrous of a big post omg, but i'm happy that i got to end it, also, if you didn't understand something, tell me so i can fix it.

[ Gavior’s Pizza Tower Ranks ]

Here is a collection of one of the fan Rank animations that I did for my mascot Gavior if he was playable in Pizza Tower, and boy did I made some of the ranks quite accurate as most of them were all drawn by me from scratch.

Most of the ranks that I drew were quite accurate to the game tbh, and it was quite worth it.

Becoming A Family ( Part 2 of 6 )

Summary: Lando finds the courage to tell about his pregnancy.

Word Count: 3.2k(ish)

Finally telling his mate about his pregnancy lifted a huge weight out of Lando’s shoulders. 

As he laid there in his nest, with his Alpha’s arms snuggling him closer he felt at peace, he felt safe, he felt loved. 

Waking up in Carlos’ arms is one of Lando’s favorite things in the world, watching him peacefully sleep as the morning sunlight brightens the room.  He wanted to stay here forever, just the two of them and their pup. He knew the pup would be safe in the Alpha’s arms, that he would be loved and taken care of. 

He started purring softly as the Alpha tightened his grip on Lando’s waist, bringing him closer even in his sleep. 

He gently started kissing his mates chest working his way up to his neck and jaw to coax him to wake up. When he saw Carlos starting to open his eyes and softly run his hands along the Omega’s back he knew he had succeeded. 

“Morning Alpha” Lando said as he softly got up before placing a small kiss on Carlos’ lips 

“Hmm....” he felt as the Alpha’s body tensed and stretched before relaxing again “Morning sweetie, how are you feeling?” Lando felt as one of the Spaniard’s hand came to rest on his belly 

“Definitely better” 

“No morning sickness?”

“I haven’t woken up with any, but if I try to eat that’s when the nausea begins” 

“You’re gonna have to go to the doctors to get you checked” the Alpha was right, a pregnant Omega needs to get checked up and need to eat enough to let the pup develop healthy “You can’t be skipping meals corazón” 

“I know, I just wanted to tell you first” 

“I’m glad you did” 

They laid in bed for a while longer, neither one of them daring to move as if doing so would break the spell.  Their legs were tangled under the duvet and Lando was almost on top of the Alpha drawing patterns on his naked chest as both of them usually slept only in boxers, Lando however had slept with Carlos’ shirt because he was using it to mask his pregnant scent yesterday. Carlos was lazily stroking his mates’ back up and down and playing with his curls.  

They were in a comfortable silence, enjoying each other’s company and just coexisting until Carlos thought of something “Mi vida, how far along are you?” 

Lando suddenly got nervous again “I... I don’t know” 

“What do you mean? Didn’t you take a test? They usually tell you how many weeks you’ve been pregnant” 

Lando was clearly avoiding looking at the Alpha’s eyes “I didn’t take any test” 

“Then how are you sure you’re pregnant?” Lando knew Carlos wasn’t judging him or questioning him

“ I just do” he sighted before looking at Carlos and explaining “I feel pregnant, I don’t know how to describe it, my instincts just tell me that there’s a pup growing inside of me, and I’ve been throwing up after eating breakfast and last week I was having some pack cuddles with Alex and Max at Max and Dan’s place and George said I smelled differently, that I smelled pregnant” after explaining to his Alpha he just shrugged and hoped the older one believed him “I tried to hide my scent from you by wearing your clothes...” 

“So that’s why you used my hoodie all the week..." he said as he finally understood his mate's behavior "and do you think that’s why your last heat lasted less than your usual ones? Because you got knocked you up?” 

“Yeah, I think so” they kept lying there until Lando’s scent was starting to reflect he was getting anxious again 

“Hey hey hey, mi vida what’s wrong?” The older one asked as soon as his mate’s scent hit him 

“What if I’m not?” Lando said between sobs “What if I’m wrong and I’m not pregnant?” 

“I’m sure you are, baby, don’t worry about it” he tried to comfort his Omega who was starting to tremble “If your instincts tell you you are, then I’m sure that here is our little pup” he said as he placed his palm on Lando’s belly where his pup was growing 

“I’m afraid Alpha”

“Don’t be, I’ll buy you a couple of test if that makes you feel safer” 

“Please Carlos, I don’t wanna lose our pup” 

“That’s not gonna happen baby, our pup is safe in here” he grabbed Lando’s hand and placed it on his tummy before placing his hand next to his “You’re keeping our pup safe inside of you, he’s here, and he’s safe” 

“You promise me?” 

“I promise” he softly brought his hand up to Lando’s cheek and wiped the tears off. 

Carlos knew the only way to calm his Omega now would be to have as much skin to skin contact as possible “Here baby, take off your shirt”  

Once he had helped Lando out of the shirt and he was lying on just boxers just as the Alpha was, he pinned the Omega below him being mindful not to put any pressure on his belly and started scenting him. 

He started scenting his chest, collarbone, moving up to his neck where he started kissing all the sweet spots he knew the Omega had, then he moved up where after kissing the back of his ears he whispered “Everything’s gonna be fine, mi corazón, our pup is fine, you’re taking such good care of him” he continued scenting him until the young Omega could do nothing but purr at all the attention his Alpha was giving him “You do smell pregnant, you smell like a beautiful pregnant little Omega” 

“Thank you Alpha, you always take such good care of me” 

Once the Alpha was sure the young Omega wouldn’t have a panic attack, he stoped scenting him, moving to instead playing with his curls “Why don’t you take a nap baby? It’s still so early, take a little nap and when you wake up I’ll have some breakfast done for you” 

The Omega didn’t need much more encouragement as he was already drifting of to sleep 

The young Omega rolled sleepily in the nest trying to get closer to his Alpha’s body heat, yet he only found a cold empty nest. He immediately sat up trying to see if he was maybe in the bathroom, yet after calling out for him no one answered.

And Carlos always came when his Omega called him. 

He had left. 

He must have left when he was asleep because he surely wasn’t able to tell the Omega to his face he was leaving and never coming back. 

His phone was missing, so was his wallet and hoodie. 

He instantly fell back into bed crying because Carlos had left him. After all he had said to him last night, after he had reassured him he wouldn’t leave him, that he wanted the pup as much as Lando did. 

The young Omega was so lost in his sadness that he didn’t hear the Spaniard enter the room “Mi vida, why are you crying?” 

“Oh Carlos” Lando practically jumped to his mate’s arms “I thought you left us” 

“I would never leave you, mi vida. Never. I would die without you” 

“I’m sorry for doubting you” 

“Hey, don’t worry about it, it’s been an emotional 24 hours” he said as he gently stroked the back of Lando’s neck who was still hugging him as his life depended on it. “I just went to get you your favorite croissant and buy you some pregnancy tests in case you still wanna take them” 

He saw as the Omega’s eyes brightened up at the thought of his favorite breakfast “You’re so good to me Alpha, I don’t deserve you” 

“Yes you do, mi vida, we’re made for each other, so what do you say, do you wanna take the tests? Or have breakfast? It’s your call sweetheart” 

“Can I take the test first and have breakfast while we wait for the results?” 

“Of course you can sweetie, do you want me to come with you?” 

Lando just nodded and grabbed he Alpha’s hand before going into the bathroom together, where the Alpha handed him the shopping bag he was holding. 

“Why so many?” There were like 5 pregnancy tests in the bag. 

“I didn’t knew which one to buy... there were so many choices, so I called Kimi and he said that when Seb got pregnant and needed to take a test he just bought every single test he found at the drug store... so I did that” the Alpha gently blushed, which made the Omega want to kiss him because he looked so cute all nervous and blushed. 

Carlos sat there on the sink waiting for Lando, he watched him pee on the sticks and place them in a small table they had there. 

“Come here, don’t be nervous, in fifteen minutes this tests are only gonna confirm what we already know” he said as he hugged his mate from behind and placed a kiss to his temple “That we have a little pup on the way, okay?” 

He felt the Omega nod and take a deep breath before turning around and kissing him 

“Okay, now let’s go get breakfast” 

Both of them left the bathroom not before setting a timer to come back and look at the test. They went to the kitchen and grabbed everything they needed before going outside to eat breakfast on their balcony couch. 

Lando couldn’t eat too fast or he would risk getting nauseous and he really needed to eat for the pup. 

“I’m sorry for crying so much” said the Omega looking shyly at his lap 

“Huh?” 

“Ever since I told you yesterday about the pup, I’ve been crying for every little thing” 

“That’s normal baby, you’re hormones are all over the place and you can blame them all you want, no one has to know” 

“I love you Alpha” the young Omega moved si he was sitting next to his Alpha with his legs over his lap. They were enjoying the breakfast when the timer went off. 

Carlos saw how Lando shut his eyes, take a deep breath and continue eating his breakfast 

“Don’t you wanna go check?” He was expecting the young Omega to run towards the bathroom as soon as the timer went off

“Why? It’s just gonna confirm us what we already know, isn’t it?” He said repeating the words his Alpha had told him earlier 

“Yeah...” 

“So, I much rather finish my breakfast you bought me and have you hold me a little bit longer” 

Carlos wasn’t exactly sure what suddenly made the Omega feel so confident, but he wasn’t gonna be the one to call him on it. 

Finishing breakfast took them longer than usual, maybe it was because Lando had to eat slowly to avoid throwing up or because neither one of them could stop stoking each other kisses 

“Carlos, I think it’s time we go and check the tests” 

They entwined their fingers together before walking hand-in-hand to the bathroom 

“Do you want me to check for you?” Carlos asked as Lando simply stood still in front of the table without making any movement. 

"I want to do it... I just need a few more seconds" 

"Take all the time you need baby"

As Lando took a step toward the little table and grabbed the first test, he felt his mate hug him from behind putting his hands on his belly and placing his chin on top of his mating mark "Together" he said finally giving Lando the little push he needed to turn around the test

Lando immediately started sobbing "It's real, Alpha" he said crying "I really am pregnant"

"You see, there was nothing to worry about" he said as he kissed his mating scar softly while stroking the belly where now they had the certainty that their pup was growing

Lando turn the rest of the tests one by one, all of them indicating he was, in fact pregnant. But it wasn't until he turned the last one that they had an idea of how far along Lando was. 3+ weeks. He remembered his heat being almost a month ago, so if his maths didn't failed him, their little pup had already been growing inside of him for a month. 

Carlos turned him around and knelt to have his face in front of Lando's tummy, he raised his shirt and came as close as he could to Lando's skin before whispering "Hola pequeño, I can't wait to meet you... your dad and I are so incredibly happy that you're gonna be our pup... we love you so so much pequeño" he placed a soft long kiss in his Omega's belly before pulling his shirt down again and standing up only to find Lando once again, crying 

In that moment neither one of them needed words to tell the other every single feeling they had. They just looked into each other's eyes that told more than their words would ever tell.

Later that day after they had finished everything they had to do, they decided to have a cuddly night that they both needed and decided to catch up to date with Wanda-Vision 

“Come on Landoooo let’s catch up on some Wanda-Vision the season finale is out and Dan said it was so good” The Alpha whined as his mate’s tried to put on Friends for the umpteenth time 

“Please Carlos just one episode” 

“But we watch so much friends we already know the dialogues” 

“That’s not true...” 

“Lando come on our pup is probably gonna come out and say ‘we were on a break’ “ 

“But they weren’t on a break” 

“Yes they were, Rachel said it herself” 

“Yeah but Ross shouldn’t have slept with that girl from the copy place” 

“If I say they were in a break, will you put Wanda-Vision?” He tried putting his biggest puppy eyes to melt the Omega’s heart 

“Hmm... no” Lando said innocently. He heard the Alpha pretending to cry and whimpering. He could be like a 5 year old when he doesn’t get it his way. Lando knew the Alpha could use his dominant voice and have it his way, yet Carlos never  had used his Alpha voice on Lando, he didn’t want a mate that was submissive and would do anything he said, he wanted a mate that was his equal, that pushed him even when said mate sometimes drove him to the edge of sanity 

“But I will if 1) you make us some popcorn and 2) you take the trash out the rest of the week” he said trying to get out of his chores, not that it bothered him, but he wouldn’t give up so easily 

“Deal... I wasn’t gonna let you do anything now that you’re carrying anyway” the omega said confidently

“What...” the surprise tone in the Omega’s voice was obvious “Thats not what I meant Carlos” 

“But it’s for your safety, mi vida”

“No Carlos, I don’t wanna be one of those Omegas that get pregnant and spend 9 months in bed being useless...” 

“And you won’t, I just don’t want anything to happen to you” 

“Nothing’s gonna happen to me while I take out the trash, do some laundry or vacuum the apartment, besides it’s not like I do that everyday, we take turns, you know it” 

“Yeah I know, but I’m happy to take over so you can rest and be safe” 

“Thank you Carlos but I don’t need it, at least not now, maybe when my bump is bigger I will need help but for now I want to keep doing the things I usually do”

“Just promise me you will take extra care, and not put yourself in any risk, please Lando... I just... I couldn’t live with myself if something were to happen to you and our pup” 

Lando saw the tears coming from the Alpha’s eyes so he moved in the bed till he was a little higher than mis mate and pulled him closer so he could rest his head in his chest, he held him tight, leaving small kisses on his dark hair and gently caressing his back

“Nothing will ever happen to us, I promise you I’m gonna take really good care of myself and the pup, okay? 

He didn’t get a verbal response but felt the man nod against his chest. 

If you asked Carlos, he would ’ve said that this was one of the reasons he loved Lando so much, because he understood perfectly that even an Alpha sometimes needed to be held tight and be told that everything was gonna be fine, he loved the fact that his Omega gave him a safe place where he could let his guard down and be vulnerable, he loved that Lando even seemed to know when he needed to hold Carlos a bit tighter even before the Alpha himself knew. 

After a few minutes, when both of their scents had gone back to the normal mixed scent they shared, Carlos got up and said “Okay, enough with the sad energy, I’m gonna go make us some popcorn but I swear to God that if I comeback and you’ve put on Friends...” started to leave the room as he heard Lando giggle because he knew his treat meant nothing as he would never dare to hurt his mate 

He was serving the popcorn in a bowl when he heard the Friends music starting to play ‘he’s never gonna change’ he whispered to himself as he started walking towards the bedroom where the man he loved was waiting for him singing and clapping along the song 

As he entered the room, the Omega raised his hands and said “It’s not my fault, the pup said he wanted to see if they were on a break or not” 

“Yeah sure... the pup wanted...” he obviously didn’t believe anything the young Omega but he just sighted defeated as he knew this was a lost battle “Is there anything else the pup wants?” 

“Hmm... a couple of kisses wouldn’t be bad” he said innocently 

Carlos gently lifted his mate’s t-shirt and placed a few kisses on his tummy. Before going back to his place, hugging Lando again, who was looking at him with hopeful eyes 

“The pup also wants you to kiss me” 

Carlos sweetly placed a hand under his mate’s chin as he brought their lips closer before finally uniting their lips. They shared sweet lazy kisses until Carlos managed to take the remote away from Lando’s lap to try and change the TV to Wanda-Vision

“Come on Carlos, I knew you would do that” he said as he showed him the batteries he had taken away 

“What I’m gonna do with you...” he said before dropping into the pillow with a loud groan 

“Better prepare for when you have two of us to deal with” his mate answered as he threw some popcorns to his face 

“You’ll be the death of me” the Alpha answered with his face still pressed against the pillow as his Omega started singing happily at the Friends theme song

So just read a piece of lore you gave in another ask and I'm curious about this "Pharson" thing. Is Cadmus a pharson? If so is he SSS+? Are other ROs pharsons? (that explains their peculiar looks🤔💖) Is MC one? Questions-questions😅 Sorry but you can't create something such intriguing and just slip away from countless questions I've got! The demo totally captivated me, obsessed with your story🤩

Hi Anon!

Alright. So Phasron, are beings that were created when the poisonous fog swept Vathilia. The humans who could not handle such power that was bestowed to them turned in "Carnivorous Creatures". One of those creatures has already been introduced in the prologue. Oth'emik.

A phasron has several rank. They are:

Rainbow - SSS+ rank

Purple - S+ rank

Vermilion - A rank

Salmon pink - B rank

Carmine - C rank

Crimson - D rank

Obsidian Black - E (Caution) rank

Ash-black - F rank

Each and every Phasron has a "Mark" on their wrists.

Yes Cadmus is a Phasron. A child's fate and their ability is predestined on the day of being conceived but for some reasons Cadmus ablity was non-existent while he was in his mother's womb. The higher the rank of a Phasron is, the more destructive their ablity is. Cadmus is indeed a SSS+ rank. Also an SSS+ rank has a "beast"/ferocious animal living deep within"

Trysten/Trista and Nyala/Nyssa is an S+ rank

While Atticus is the same rank as Cadmus.

As for the MC. 😏. MC soul has been nurtured by Cadmus over the years. At this moment in time the MC is only an S+ rank. Though I am curious if there'll be readers who'll take back what Trysten stole from their pc.

And go right ahead Anon! I'll most certainly answer all your questions! Have a good day!

Thank you for the ask!

Specialties

Medicine is a complicated task. There are several facets to injuries, and a thousand more ways to cure them. With how large and busy clans are, it becomes impossible for one cat to keep everyone healthy. Yet by having multiple healers working together to focus on different aspects of health, they are better able to protect and care for their clanmates.

There are nine official specialties to choose from. While three is an important number, nine is a holy one.

Apothecary - a little poison makes a medicine, as they say. These cats dedicate themself to studying poisons and venoms in search of uses for them. These medics tend to be the shortest-lived, due to their… experiments.

Caretaker - the cats who look after the elders, monarchs, and their kits. They keep tabs on everyone’s health and enforce quarantine at the first signs of disease. They typically make their nest in the nursery instead of the medics’ den.

Counselors - tend to the mental wounds and traumas of their clanmates. They serve as a supportive shoulder to lean on for all who might need it.

Field-Medic - usually chosen by former warriors, they follow patrols into battle to tend them on the scene. Their satchels are painted bright green for visibility. To strike down a medic in battle is an extremely high offense.

Gardener - a much more chill option, these cats tend to the clan’s herb supply. The location of each clan’s garden is a closely guarded secret. They are very defensive about their plants, after all. Gardeners visit daily to tend their herbs and check for signs of illness.

Herbalist - a deceptively simple specialty, the cat most skilled with utilizing herbs to heal injuries and illnesses. Due to their already generalist aspects, cats may have a higher chance of being promoted to head than their peers.

Oracle - most-connected to Starclan, these cats speak with their Ancestors the most and seek to discover what the future holds. Sometimes they are blessed with prophetic visions. Sometimes they are simply driven mad.

Scribe - the keepers of clan history. Cats must have a good memory and be proficient at their clan’s method of record-keeping. These cats also keep track of the valley’s family tree to prevent inbreeding

Undertaker - a rather grim task, and a rare one outside Shadowclan, these cats care for the clan’s dead. They tend to burial grounds and preside over funerals. When their services are not immediately needed, they may quietly assist the other medics.

Yet there is also a secret tenth specialty that draws directly from the Dark Forest. It is called either witchcraft or black magic and is strictly banned. Any medic caught dabbling in it is immediately executed.
