predator ranks


Eta
The untouchables of the Yautja. Mostly they are the lame or the crippled, who are unable (or too cowardly) to join the hunt. Instead, they serve as slaves and do menial jobs for the hunters. They are ridiculed and humiliated on a daily basis by the other Yautja.

Bad Bloods
The criminal caste of Yautja society. Many have committed crimes such as murder of another Yautja, killing prey that is not game or failing in the hunt. The "Arbitrators" are constantly tracking these. About 5% of all Yautja are "Bad Bloods," and in the above castes, the number of these criminals has been added to the total amount. It has been said the Yautja from Predator 2 was classified as a Badblood for leaving a piece of equipment behind; however, it was (briefly) recovered from the human (Danny Glover) but killed by it in the scout ship. The elders then bore away the body in honour. Presenting the human with a trophy: the flintlock pistol. The Elder was never seen as a Badblood though he presented the marked human (Sanaa Lathan) with a lance following the battle with the Alien Queen in AVP though this could also be part of their honor and he saw her not as a human but as a blooded hunter or as and friend to the Yautja. Others theorize that the mark might mean that the human is considered a prized possession or of same respect as a mate.

Unblooded
Young Yautja who are trained in the skills necessary for their adult hunting. They will move to the next rank after their first hunt. They represent about 40% at any one time.

Young Bloods
Recently blooded Yautja. They are young, reckless, full of ambition and feel full of pride once they have collected the skull of their kill, which amuses the more experienced hunters. About 30% of Yautja at any one time are considered "Young Blood".

Blooded
The only difference between the Blooded and the Young Bloods is that the Blooded have more experience, but are still not classed high among the great hunters. This represents 20% of the Yautja population.

Warriors
Violent, respected, solo hunters with high Yautja technology. They travel the Universe to find honorable hunting.

Honored
The Elite of Yautja society. They have earned 1000 kills and are skilled in all ways. They comprise approximately 10% of the populace.

Ancients/Elders
The greatest Yautja that have ever lived, they have survived a thousand hunts. They have hunted so much that they look for other means of sport. Consequently, they are more compassionate and disciplined than most other Yautja. Many have learned new fighting techniques over the ages. For example, one "Ancient" who had hunted in 16th century Japan learned "Hira Baraki," or two-sword combat, continues to use it today, and has two custom swords. These represent less than 1% of the entire population.

Arbitrators
Yautja police that mainly consist of Ancients who are bored with the Hunt. They represent judge, jury, and executioner. There are no appeals to their decisions.

[MikDaTv]

maybe i'll just make something up later. Steve could help out since he is our only Yautja right now.

In a sense the roles in the hunt is similar to ranks of solider. So starting at the bottom working up. This is base off of Wikipedai. This could be expanded to make more ranks

Lone Wolf
A young adult which has left the pack. It may find a new, suitable place to live and mate.

Omega or Scapegoat
In large packs, there is often a lowest-ranking member who becomes the focus of the pack's social aggression. This Yautja seems to be a scapegoat and may actually become an outright outcast. This may be part of the process by which pack members disperse and become independent, rather than remain at the bottom of the pecking order or on the fringes of the pack. While with the Yautja, Machiko was a scapegoat, despite her honorable rank.

Subordinate
These are usually young Yautja, but occasionally are former alphas who have lost their positions. If they remain with the pack, subordinates play a strong and important role in helping care for and feed others.

Beta
A beta male lowers his head when around the alpha pair to let them know he will obey them.

Alpha
The leaders of a pack are the alpha male and the alpha female. The alpha male usually heads the pack and chooses the route.

well, again. these arn't so much as ranks as they are social status names. But i suppose something could be built off of them.

if any of you come up with a good system of predator ranks, PM it to me or post it here. If i like it i'll put it into place.
