I have a questions about this. Is this an instincts thing for Forsaken or pure? or is this something that is driven into them from the time they turn?
As a cub would you feel the need to join a pack of some kind, or is there thought as to safety in numbers or is it a drive that you want/need to find someone else to be with?

Pack mentality is a view that is as individual as the People.
For the most part your pack is your family. You hunt, eat and sleep together. They are usually the ones that brought you into this society. Or they are family members that accepted you and helped you to deal with the change after you where released from a tribal mentor.
This is also the "ideal" way that packs are run. Both pure and forsaken packs come together for many, many reasons. This does not mean that there is never tension and that everyone plays happy at playing house. Rage is no longer a number on a character sheet like in the old system. Rage in this system is a large part of RP for characters. So learning how the pack deals with the always on going struggle to keep the monster in check helps to define characters and there coexistence with each other.
What usually forces packs to work together is a couple things.
A) In your time of need. As a Uratha you will have many. The people that always stand for your cause and your safety are your pack mates. Its a bond thicker then blood.
B) Harmony figures into how you view pack mentality. Your wolves as much as your men. Keeping with the instinctual need to form packs like a wolf is a spiritual drive.
C) Packs are usually bonded together by common ideology, or mission. Some packs form for a short time to kill a powerful spirit, or other such quest.
D) Packs will usually have a totem. These spirits want to see you stay together because they invest time and energy into you. Which means having you piss off by yourself and get killed will cost them resources they want to use to propel them higher in the choirs they reside.
Hope this helps.
