.: HazeClan :. {Semi-Literate Warriors Roleplay} OPEN

YouTube · by **catdoq** » Thu Feb 23, 2012 1:06 pm

You slip silently through the dew covered undergrowth of a large forest. You've no idea where you are, or how long you have been walking, but your ribs jut from your sides and dew is weaved throughout your pelt, making you uncomfortable and wet. You decide to try hunting. You scent the air and discover a mouse, not far from where you stand, and you make a grave attempt at catching it. A stern voice sounds behind you, "You're not from around here, are you?" You jump up and turn around, fur standing on end. Facing you is a group of cats; you guess the one that was speaking was the silver tabby. "You look a bit worn out." A light brown tabby meows with an amused tone. You can now tell that they're mocking you. You open your mouth to protest, but the silver tabby cuts you off, "Shut your tra-" She is cut off by the brown tabby standing next to her, "Would you like to come with us?" He meows. You now face a great decision; go with these strange cats to who knows where, or stay in the forest by yourself.

The Rules

1. Respect all staff rules. We wouldn't want to see the roleplay get locked, now would we?
2. I have the right to accept or deny your form.
3. Please wait until you have been accepted by me or a mini-mod.
4. I'd prefer you've read at least the first series of Warriors, but you must have at least read the first book.
5. No cats with the same prefix and no cats with the prefix 'star'.
6. No god modding.
7. No chat speak.
8. PLEASE do not fight on the thread. Keep it to PM or, even better, don't fight at all!
9. Put OOC chat in parentheses or something to mark that is out of character.
10. I would love to know about any side plots, but if you want to keep it a secret then I'm perfectly fine with it.
11. Posts must be at least three sentences with proper punctuation, grammar and spelling. Writer's block is understandable.
12. Be respectful to others.
13. Nothing too descriptive about mating or kitting.
14. No being your own mate. Trust me, it's boring.
15. The leader chooses deputies, mentors, and apprentices.
16. The medicine cat chooses their apprentice.
17. Keep swearing to a minimum.
18. No neon colored cats. If you have an odd design there is a possibility that I will accept you.
19. Make sure you only make as many cats as you can handle. Don't make a bunch of cats and never roleplay them. Try to keep it to three-five cats at the max.
20. If you're a kittypet/loner/rogue you need to be found if you want to join the clan, don't just stroll into camp.
21. Anything you find in a PG 13 movie is allowed here.
22. Don't mess around in OOC chat, take it to a PM or something if you need to talk.
23. Personalities must be at least three sentences, though I would prefer five plus, and must be descriptive.
24. Keep genders even 2:1. For every two cats you make, make one of the opposite gender.
25. Try to read the News regularly, I update it quite a bit. I also update the different sections a bit as well to make them look better.
26. Go to the updates tab for a recap.
27. Rules may change occasionally.

Submission Rules

1. Must have something to do with Hazeclan (The plot, your characters, etc.)
2. For pictures, you need to have just the picture or a link to where the picture came from.
3. For animation and writings I need a link and a link only.

Hazeclan Territory

Hazeclan lives in a lush, green forest in Washington. There are plenty of herbs and the trees are good for training in.

The river is very near camp and is the clan's main water source.

The leader's den is a medium sized cave built into the side of a 'hill' like formation. Meetings are held at the top of the hill.

The medicine cat den. It is illuminated on the inside by a hole in the roof at the back of the den. The hole is between two tree roots and is used to escape easily or just as a different way to exit, however it is built slightly high up and can be difficult to get to.

The nursery and elder's den are right next to each other and are built in the same way, very similar to the rest of the dens in camp.

The apprentice's den. Not much to say here!

The warrior's den. It's bigger than it looks.

The canopy is very thick and does not allow as much light in as the pictures above show.

Back kick
Explosive surprise move to catch opponent from behind. Judge opponent's distance from you carefully; then lash out with your back legs, taking your weight on your front paws.

Belly rake
A fight-stopper. Slive with unsheathed claws across soft flesh of opponent's belly. If you're pinned down, the belly rake quickly puts you back in control.

Front paw blow
Frontal attack. Bring your front paw down hard on your opponent's head. Claws sheathed.

Front paw strike
Frontal attack. Slice downward with your front paw at the body or face of your opponent. Claws unsheathed.

Killing bite
A death blow to the back of the neck. Quick and silent and sometimes considered dishonorable (see Warrior Code). Used only as a last resort.

Leap-and-hold
Ideal for a small cat facing a large opponent. Spring onto opponent's back and grip with unsheathed claws. Now you are beyong the range of your opponent's paws and in position to inflict severe body wounds. A group of apprentices can defeat a large and dangerous warrior in this way. It was deployed to great effect against BloodClan's deputy, Bone. Watch for the drop-and-roll countermove, and try to jump free before you get squashed.

Partner fighting
Warriors who have trained and fought together will often instinctively fall into a paired defensive position, each protecting the other's back while fending off an opponent on either side. Slashing, clawing, and leaping together, battle pairs can be a whirlwind of danger for attackers.

Play dead
Effective in a tight situation, such as when you are pinned. Stop struggling and go limp. When your opponent relaxes his grip, thinking you are defeated, push yourself up explosively. This will throw off an unwary opponent and put you in an attacking position.

Scruff shake
Secure a strong teeth grip in the scruff of your opponent's neck; then shake violently until he or she is too rattled to fight back. Most effective against rats, which are small enough to throw. A strong throw will stun or kill them.

Teeth grip
Target your opponent's extremities—the legs, tail, scruff, or ears—and sink in your teeth and hold. This move is similar to the leap-and-hold except your claws remain free to fight.

Upright lock
Final, crushing move on already weakened opponent. Rear up on back legs and bring full weight down on opponent. If opponent does same, wrestle and flip him under you. This move makes you vulnerable to the belly rake, so requires great strength and speed.

His/Her name will be __________, because _________. Let StarClan recieve him/her by the name of __________.

Note: See Warrior Ceremony "Virtues" to fill in last two blanks.
