Moons ago, the five warrior clans, ThunderClan, WindClan, RiverClan, ShadowClan, and SkyClan were destroyed by a massive storm. A tornado tore through the territories, and a massive forest fire ran through ThunderClan. The cats who were able to escape alive fled. With the remaining cats, ancestors and living cats worked together to rebuild what was lost. Things have changed now and its been many years. Will you join and help them rebuild?

You can have a clan, a tribe, or anything else you can think of.

Looking to get started in Rays? First, you'll need a founder, which you can claim here! Fill out the founder form below and post it on the thread. An artist will claim it and create a cat based on the description you give unless you put "random," in which case you will get a random cat of their choice! Please stick to normal/realistic cat designs and use this website or look at cat images on google. Pictures help us create founders, so please try and provide examples of what you want (unless you put random).

Code: Select all

[size=150]Founder Form[/size]
Username:
Cat Gender: male/female/trans/nb/etc
Fur Length: Long or short
Description: here

Limits:
- No large line edits. A nick in the ear or
small scars are fine, though.
- No rare mutations or breeds
--Bobtail, Munchkin, double ears/tails, albino, male
tortoiseshell, vitiligo, la perm, maine coon, etc.

[CloudedDiamond]

After you get your founder, you need to level up once
or they will be rehomed. You have a month (one month) to
level up, and a warning PM, or your founder will be readopted.
____________________________________________________________


After you have posted a founder form, you should go over to the
Character Storage forums to host your clan's information. You may
also make it on Toyhouse or your own site, but staff must be able
to view it at any time without needing to sign in or sign up.

To level up, go to the archives and fill out the "Leveling Form" form. For clan
history/summary, you may either link to the information or write it/copy and paste it there.
The history or summary must be at least 100 words.
____________________________________________________________


After you've leveled up, you may now adopt any cats with no limits and you're
cats will not be taken away from you unless the staff has good reason to.

In the next post, you can find ways to earn special items, such as scar tickets,
accessories, free customs, and more. You will have to do a certain amount of
tasks to get the rewards, and all rewards can be won multiple times. Items
that have more tasks and harder tasks are generally going to be rarer
items such as a ghost/spirit custom or milestone custom. When ordering a
custom or breeding, please state whether you are using items or not (such as
a free semi-custom or free custom ticket) and proof of ownership.
