The core of the council, Primors hold specific roles and tasks that aid in the day to day maintenance and functioning of the pack. Refined further from those within the Pelagus ranks, these members are highly specialized within their field and answer only to the Adcredo and Sagacious ranks.
All Primor members are expected to be responsible for their actions and courteous towards other packs, maintaining good relations with them all. Council members can accept members into the pack, however, an ooc leader would need to formally process their acceptance into the pack.
How to earn a Primor Rank
Your character must be ranked Faber or Pelgaus to apply to begin earning a primor rank. Unlike other ranks within Sapient, Primor ranks have IC and OOC perks (in addition to being able to accept joiners), cannot be challenged for and are the highest positions underneath Leadership themselves — that’s a whole lot of responsibility.
So why do you have to request to earn a Primor rank?
As already mentioned, these ranks hold a lot of IC and OOC importance, so a player’s understanding of pack policies is extremely important, as well as consistent activity and good communication with leadership. A character’s IC suitability is also a major factor; sadly, that fun little psycho of who likes killing things… probably won’t be a good fit for Primor ranks.
- PM leadership the Primor Application form — we will review your request and get back to you shortly.
- You will be given FIVE thread challenges to complete. These threads are tailored to match your understanding of the rank, which you provided us within your application. Unlike usual rank threads, the following completion rules apply to these threads;
➽ You must have posted a total sum of 1000 words minimal.
➽ Threads must have a minimal of 5 posts from your character.
➽ You must complete one thread per challenge, making a minimal total of five submitted thread.
➽ The task for each thread must be completed in depth for submission to count. - In addition to these five threads, you must successfully host ONE pack project of your choosing. A pack project must spread out over at least three threads, of which your character must be actively involved in one such thread — pack project threads may count towards the five threads if the content is applicable and completion criteria is made.
We cannot stress that all pack projects must be leader approved before being launched. This includes approval of the idea AND the write-up. Pack projects must be formatted like all other Sapient events, so please view past projects to get a feel for how one should look.
