♚ Hyenaclan - for those who look out for number one. ♛
Hyenaclan is set in a lush, boreal forest that doesn't allow much light past the large trees, even in leaf-bare. To the east is a twoleg place where many strays, much of what the clan is made-up of, come from. The cats themselves do not believe in the ways of the typical warriors- Starclan and the Warrior code means nothing to them. With this belief, elders and weak cats are removed from the clan, meaning every cat (from kit to queen to warrior) must pay their dues to the clan. Once a cat can no longer make their live worth while, they are removed from Hyenaclan without second thought. Looks wise, cats have darker coats, a white cat can be hard to find among these as their pelt is an automatic weakness and hurts their hunting ability. At the same time, not many of the pelts are solid colors, like pure black or pure blue-gray. Much of the prey are quick-moving, such as squirrels, birds, and rabbits. Not many enjoy fishing, but are often made to learn in their smaller streams and river as the cats are forced to know what to do at all times. They also prefer eating reptiles, like lizards. Hyenaclan cats are known to be ruthless, obedient to their leader, and aggressive. They are ones to start a fight with any clan they see fit, along with not caring to steal kits and herbs with no thoughts otherwise. Kits are taught as young as possible that killing is alright, queens being told to have them listen in on every gathering to make them know the ways of the clan. Thus so, this breeds and raises the perfect killer, along with subjects, for Hyenaclan.
Clan Rules
1. Leader's orders go above anything.
2. If a cat is unable to do their duties, they are exiled from the clan.
3. Treachery and breaking rules lead to public execution.
4. Sick kits are to be removed from their mother and siblings- if they're too sick to treat, they are abandoned at the border to not infect other promising kits.
5. There is no room for unneeded compassion- mate does not mean love, it means kits for the clan.
6. Mates are chosen by a select council of the healer, leader, deputy, and two senior warriors. These mating partners are determined by the strength and the skills of each cat as to provide stronger kits. Toms can have multiple mating partners at once if the leader sees fit.
7. Kits are not to be sheltered from death and other harsh topics, queens who attempt to do this will be given strict punishments.
8. Queens are only to stay with their kits for the first three moons, past that age the kits are to stay in the nursery on their own.
Name system
Every cat is born with a common name, more rouge or loner like, keeping that name forever. When they become warriors, they are given a status title that signifies their achievement, experience, or great skill.
Ex. A white tom is given the name Snow at birth. They are made a warrior right after
killing a cat in Deerclan. Then so, Snow would be named Snow the Deer slayer.
