An Alpha should be:

1) Physically stronger than Betas and Omegas, unless they are very small and the Beta/Omega is much larger/fitter.

2) Should be able to assert some control over Betas and Omegas, especially their own, either via the Roar or telepathically.

3) Should heal faster than Betas and Omegas.

4) Difficult to force back into human form through injury or torture.

With a pack, these abilities should all be significantly stronger.

Optional abilities, based on skill, would include:

1) Reliable telepathic suggestion/visions

2) Mind meld

3) Shapeshifting
