# Avatar Class Two key principles rule alpha Avatas and In-Season Avatars: * Class scarcity * [Traits ](/arcade-mode-alpha-pack/alpha-pack/alpha-avatars/traits-and-rarity.md)rarity The total population of Checkmate Avatars dictates class supply; they are born (minted) with their unique traits. ## Class * Each Avatar is assigned a hierarchy based on the pieces found in chess * Avatars are weighted according to their class, with the King and Queen having the highest weighting and the Pawn the smallest weighting * Future drop allocations will be allocated based on class weightings * Each Aatar class also has an Alpha Pro pass ranging from one to seven years * The Alpha Pack class you select dictates the class of Avatar you receive but not the Avatar nor its trait rarity; this is a surprise and part of the fun * You are free to trade your PFP Ethereum-based Avatar with other players if you wish or keep to collect future drops
