Fill out the
form properly.
You NEED an
actual, official
reference, not
'this cat, with
these eyes, and
this tribal mark
here, in this
color.' No. You
need a real ref
that belongs to
YOU. If you can't
you can either
get someone to
do it for you,
or ask me to
make one for
you. In that
case, you may
use multiple
pictures to
show me what
you want, but
you have to do
so by pm, not
on the topic.

2

Be respectful
to the mods,
the mini mods,
me, and of
course, the
roleplayers.

3

All of Tess's
rules apply.

4

No spamming,
please. It's
fine if you
want to mark
it to join later
or something
of the sort,
but please, no
out-of-character
arguments.

5

Please, you
guys, no perfect
cats. Your cats
can't avoid every
hit or outsmart
every warrior.
It just doesn't
work that way.

6

No power playing,
I can't stress
this enough.

7

Please, guys,
be mature.
Don't get into
hissy fits and
report someone
just because
their cat hissed
at yours.
Honestly.

8

Please, fill
out the form
the way I tell
you, otherwise,
it doesn't
work the way
it's supposed
to.

9

I'm making
this a semi-
literate roleplay,
meaning at least
three lines.
Not "Greyface
walked around.
He sat down.
He ate a mouse.''
NO. Put some
thought into
what you're saying,
and it'll make
it easier.

10

Make genders
even. If you
make a she-cat,
make a tom.
If you make a
tom, make a
she-cat as well.
You have a
maximum of
4 characters.
If, however,
you have reached
the limit and
want more,
pm me for
permission.

Soulstar sighed, straightening himself out.
"We have had a plentiful green leaf, and are entering leaf fall.
Our clan is prospering and we all know that our clan is bigger
than ever before. What you do not know, however, is that there
is a coming danger." He paused, listening momentarily to the
silence of the camp. "If we stay here, our clan will crumble..."
Soulstar watched them, eyes moving from one cat to another.
"In this time of danger, your powers are soon to disappear.
You must learn to live without the abilities Starclan has given
each of you." Bursts of outrage and shock were heard below.
Soulstar got to his paws, stepping closer to the very edge of
the rock. He ignored the reactions below. "We cannot fight
amongst eachother. We must choose to believe in each other!"
Tail lashing from the passion with which he spoke, he looked
up at the sky. "Starclan has promised this clan paradise!" he
turned to look at them. "Isn't that worth fighting for?''
silence met his gaze, and he continued. "The danger is coming
soon. We cannot stay here for another half a moon. Starclan
has told me that we have a few days to prepare.'' He looked
around. "Tribal clan will not lay down in the middle of the
apocalyptic thunderpath, waiting for disaster to strike!
We do not give up!"

Wolfpaw looked around solemnly. He had to help his clan.
"I'm going hunting." He called out, just in case.
After all, he never spoke when he shape shifted into
this. Wolfpaw began to grow beyond the size of a cat,
and he was doing it fast. The apprentice's snout stretched
forward as huge, pointy teeth protruded from his jaws, and
his claws pushed themselves out of his paws. His fur began
to melt itself together to create thicker fur all over him. The
German Shepherd looked around, seeing that nobody was in
his hunting party, and left camp. He returned a while later with
three squirrels and four ravens. Wolfpaw dropped them into the
fresh kill pile, and closed his eyes, expecting to melt back.
Nothing happened. He shut his eyes tight, focusing. The pup
panicked. He yowled, frantically trying to returned to himself.
He did not speak, not a single word. He would never speak
again, dog's vocal cords couldn't imitate cats.
He was trapped as a dog.
Forever.

Shadowpaw lifted her head to look up at the sky, and what
she saw made her fur bristle. A flock of birds were flying normally, then,
without a warning, they were all falling; dead. She watched as the bodies
feel into the forest far away, and she turned to Soulstar, eyes wide and fur
spiked. " it's Starclan; we have to go-now!"

Shadowpaw whimpered, almost tripping as a vision came to her.
They were huge, bloody monsters. It looked like someone
ripped their skin off, and bloody muscles and bones were
in plain view. They had horribly large teeth, their jaws
alone bigger than any cat. And there were so many of them.
The medicine cat couldn't take the sight, and she ran forward
with the new burst of petrifying horror. The super-herbs she
had mixed into the herb bundle kicked in, and she thanked
Starclan that she had thought of it.

It was dark, but Soulstar could see the brief outline of the moon; it would be
a full-moon in a few sunrises. He continued looking around, listening to the
comfortingly familiar sound of the gently gurgling river on his right, a few
fox-lengths away, and looked up to a large tree the same distance to the left.
He nodded, turning to the tree as he began to speak. "We will stay here.
there is quite a few of us, and we will have to sleep on the branches, mostly.
See those holes in the tree? Those are squirrel burrows. We will kill the
squirrels, and the holes are bigger than you think, so the smallest hole will
be for prey, the larger hole will be for Lightningstorm and her kits. The largest
hole will be for the apprentices; Shadowpaw, you will sleep there. Moonbeam,
Stormfire, we're going hunting. Drop off your kit, Stormfire, and meet me at
the base of the tree. Capturedpaw, you will stay at the base of the tree. Keep
the first night shift, and I will have Ghostfang take over soon."

Ceremonies

~ Leader Ceremony ~
The new leader goes to the Cave pool with the Clan's medicine cat. Cats of StarClan come down from Silverpelt. Nine cats, who were significant during the new leader's life, give them their nine lives with these words: Cats of StarClan: Welcome, _________. Are you ready to receive your nine lives?
New Leader: Yes, I’m ready.
Cat #1: With this life I give you courage. Use it well in the defense of your Clan.
*Bolt of pain with new life*
Cat #2: With this life I give you justice. Use it well as you judge the actions of others.
*Bolt of pain with new life*
Cat #3: With this life I give you loyalty to what you know to be right. Use it well to guide your Clan in times of trouble.
*Bolt of pain with new life; less than before*
Cat #4: With this life I give you tireless energy. Use it well to carry out the duties of a leader.
*Bolt of pain with new life; feeling of speed*
Cat #5: With this life I give you protection. Use it well to care for you Clan as a mother cares for her kits.
*Bolt of pain with new life; feeling of ferocity*
Cat #6: With this life I give you mentoring. Use it well to train the young cats of your Clan.
*Bolt of pain with new life*
Cat #7: With this life I give you compassion. Use it well for the elders of you Clan, and the sick, and all those weaker than yourself.
*Bolt of pain with new life*
Cat #8: With this life I give you love. Use it well for all the cats in your care—especially _______.
*Bolt of pain with new life; not very painful at all; pure love*
Cat #9: With this life I give you nobility and certainty and faith. Use it well as you lead your Clan in the ways of StarClan and the warrior code.
*Bolt of pain with new life; very painful; given by old leader*
*Old leader signals new leader to rise; new leader obliges*
Old Leader: I hail you by your new name, _____star. Your old life is no more. You have now received the nine lives of a leader, and StarClan grants you the guardianship of ____Clan. Defend it well; care for young and old; honor your ancestors and the traditions of the warrior code; live each life with pride and dignity.
Just as the forest-cats would call a warrior by their new name, the StarClan cats acclaim the new leader. After the ceremony, the new leader is not allowed to tell any cat what happened during the ceremony.
Getting nine lives does not necessarily mean that a leader will live longer, but they can survive certain accidents or injuries that would claim the life of a cat, but they cannot survive if they have major injuries. If a leader does not loose a life, they will die of old age nine times.



~ Warrior Ceremony ~
The following words are used, by tradition:
Leader: I, (Leader), leader of (Clan), call upon my warrior ancestors to look down on this apprentice. (He/she) has trained hard to understand the ways of your noble code, and I commend (him/her) to you as a warrior in (his/her) turn.
Leader: (Apprentice), do you promise to uphold the warrior code and to protect and defend your Clan, even at the cost of your life?
Apprentice: I do.
Leader: Then by the powers of StarClan, I give you your warrior name. (Apprentice), from this moment you will be known as (new warrior name). StarClan honors your (virtues), and we welcome you as a full warrior of (Clan).
The leader rests his or her muzzle on the apprentice's head, and he or she licks the leader's shoulder. The rest of the Clan then greets the new warrior by calling him or her by their new name. The warrior will sit a silent vigil guarding the camp that night, except if that is not possible.
During the apprentice's warrior ceremony, two major virtues of the apprentice are listed; the first is usually (but not always) courage. Some examples of virtues (and the warriors they described):
Bravery, courage, cleverness, determination, energy, enterprise, enthusiasm, fighting skills, forethought, honesty, independence, initiative, intelligence, kindness, loyalty, patience, skill, speed, spirit, strength, thoughtfulness, warmth, and wisdom.



~ Dying Apprentice Ceremony ~
When an apprentice is on the verge of death and has proven him/herself to be worthy of a warrior name, there is a special ceremony used so that the apprentice may take a warrior name to StarClan.
Leader: I ask my warrior ancestors to look down on this apprentice. (He/She) has learned the warrior code and given up (his/her) life in the service of (his/her) Clan. Let StarClan receive (him/her) as a warrior. (He/She) will be known as (new name).



~ Apprentice Ceremony ~
When a kit turns six moons old, he or she is ready to become an apprentice. Until this time, their name ends with the "-kit" suffix. When a kit becomes an apprentice, their name ends with "-paw," showing the path their paws are on.
The Clan Leader calls a Clan Meeting to appoint a new apprentice and assign a mentor to him/her. The following words are used, by tradition:
Leader: (Kit), you have reached the age of six moons, and it is time for you to be apprenticed. From this day on, until you receive your warrior name, you will be known as (new name, ending with "paw"). Your mentor will be (name of warrior or medicine cat). I hope (name of warrior or medicine cat) will pass down all he/she knows to you.
The leader calls up the warrior he/she has chosen as a mentor.
Leader: (Warrior), you are ready to take on an apprentice. You had received excellent training from (former mentor), and you have shown yourself to be (quality) and (quality). You will be the mentor of (apprentice), and I expect you to pass on all you know to (apprentice).
The mentor touches noses with the apprentice.



~ New Mentor Apprentice Ceremony ~
When an apprentice losses his/her mentor because of retirement or death, the leader says the following words by tradition:
Leader: (____paw), due to your previous mentors (death/retirement) it is time for you to have a new mentor. (name of new mentor) will be your new mentor and he/she will pass down all that he/she knows.
The leader calls up the warrior he/she has chosen as a mentor.
Leader: (Warrior), you are ready to take on an apprentice. You have shown yourself to be (quality) and (quality). You will be the mentor of (apprentice), and I expect you to pass on all you know to (apprentice).
The mentor touches noses with the apprentice.



~ Medicine Cat Apprentice Ceremony ~
Medicine Cat: Cats of (Clan), as you know, I will not be around forever. So it's time I took an apprentice. I have chosen a cat who has shown (virtues). Your next medicine cat will be (apprentice).
Leader: (Apprentice), do you accept the post of apprentice to (medicine cat)?
Apprentice: I do.
Medicine Cat: Then at the half-moon, you must travel to the Cave pool to be accepted by StarClan before the other medicine cats.
Leader: The good wishes of all (Clan) will go with you.
The mentor touches noses with the apprentice, and the Clan greets the new apprentice.
At the Cave pool
At the next half moon, the medicine cat goes with the apprentice to the Clans' sacred place to present him or her to the warrior ancestors, where the apprentice confirms his or her wish to be a medicine cat. The following words are used, by tradition:
Medicine Cat: (Apprentice), is it your wish to enter the mysteries of StarClan as a medicine cat?
Apprentice: It is.
Medicine Cat: Then come forward.
Medicine Cat: Warriors of StarClan, I present you with this apprentice. (He/she) has chosen the path of a medicine cat. Grant (him/her) your wisdom and insight so that (he/she) may understand your ways and heal (his/her) Clan in accordance with your will.



~ Deputy Ceremony ~
The leader calls a Clan Meeting, and performs the ceremony by announcing these words:
Leader: I say these words before StarClan, that the spirits of our warrior ancestors (or former deputy name) may hear and approve of my choice. The new deputy of (Clan) is (warrior's name).
Occasionally, a Clan leader does not announce the new deputy before moonhigh. This can be because: they are physically or emotionally unwell, or they are unsure whether the previous deputy is alive. If the ceremony is not performed in time, it is sometimes seen as a bad omen.
If the deputy dies in battle, the Clan Leader might choose to appoint the new deputy whilst still fighting, instead of waiting to return to the camp.



~ Medicine Cat Ceremony ~
Apprenticeship for medicine cats usually lasts much longer than those for warriors. The cat must learn about all available herbs and remedies, and the treatment of diseases and injuries.
Once the Clan's medicine cat is satisfied with the apprentice's knowledge, they go to the Clans' sacred place (such as the Cave pool). This is the only ceremony that is not performed by the Leader in the camp. The following words are used, by tradition:
Medicine Cat: I, (name), medicine cat of (Clan), call upon my warrior ancestors to look down on this apprentice. (He/she) has trained hard to understand the ways of a medicine cat, and with your help (he/she) will serve (his/her) Clan for many moons.
Medicine Cat: (Apprentice), do you promise to uphold the ways of a medicine cat, to stand apart from rivalry between Clan and Clan and to protect all cats equally, even at the cost of your life?
Apprentice: I do.
Medicine Cat: Then by the powers of StarClan I give you your true name as a medicine cat. (Apprentice), from this moment you will be known as (new name). StarClan honors your (virtues), and we welcome you as a full medicine cat of (Clan).
The medicine cat rests his or her muzzle on the apprentice's head, and he or she licks the mentor's shoulder. The other medicine cats greet him or her by their new name.



~ Name Changing Ceremony ~
When a cat's name no longer portrays who they are, a Clan leader can perform this ceremony to change it to a new name. Normally, the name is changed from the result of an injury. However, sometimes it is changed when the cat has been named incorrectly and the leader wants to rectify this mistake
The leader calls a Clan Meeting, and performs the change with the following words:
"Spirits of StarClan, you know every cat by name. I ask you now to take away the name from the cat you see before you, for it no longer stands for what he/she is. By my authority as Clan leader, and with the approval of our warrior ancestors, I give this cat a new name. From this moment on he/she will be known as (new name), for (description of the reason)."
A cat can also request a name change, if they would like their name or someone else's name to be changed.



~ Elder Ceremony ~
Leader: _______, is it your wish to give up the name of a (warrior, queen, medicine cat) and go to join the elders?
_______: It is.
Leader: Your Clan honors you and all the service you have given to us. I call upon StarClan to give you many moons of rest.
The Clan will call out the retired (warrior's, queen's, medicine cat's) name and then he or she will go to the elder's den.



~ Vigil ~
Newly appointed warriors are required to stay awake for the entire night after they received their warrior name, as decreed by the Warrior Code. They guard the camp in silence, while the other Clan members have a good rest.
In some cases, this rule cannot be adhered to, and the warrior receives another task.
If a Clan cat dies, his/her body is taken to the center of the camp, and several of their Clanmates, usually the cat's family members and close friends, sit vigil for them through the night, sharing tongues for the last time before the elders bury the cat in the morning.
There can also be vigils for cats without bodies and suspected dead. A body isn't buried, but the cats still sit vigil.
