The Warrior Code
Defend your clan, even with your life. You may have friendships with cats from other clans, but remain loyal to yours, as one day you may meet them in battle.
Do not hunt or trespass on other clans' territory. You may report something or ask for help.
Elders, queens and kits must be fed before apprentices or warriors. If an apprentice or warrior is sick, they may eat with the elders, queens and kits.
Prey is killed only to be eaten. Give thanks to Starclan for its life.
A kit must be at least 6 moons old to become an apprentice.
Newly appointed warriors must sit vigil for one night after receiving their warrior name.
A cat cannot be made deputy without mentoring at least one apprentice.
The deputy will become leader when the leader dies, retires, or is exiled.
After the deputy is exiled, dead or retired, the new deputy must be appointed before moonhigh.
A gathering of all four clans shall be held every full moon during a truce that lasts the whole night. The clans should not fight.
Boundaries must be checked and marked daily. Challenge all trespassing cats.
No cat can neglect a kit in pain or danger, even if the kit is from a different clan.
The word of the Clan leader is the warrior code.
An honorable warrior does not need to kill cats to win his or her battles unless they are outside the warriors or it is necessary.
A warrior rejects the soft life of a kittypet.
RP Rules
Characters~~
~No kits unless there is a queen is expecting kits and they're roleplayer has allowed you to roleplay one of them, or, if your kit was a loner/kittypet/etc, me/sandy and the foster mother's roleplayer agrees.
~All form fields must be filled out except Other.
~You must fill out a form or make your own to join. Do not spam. E.g "I want to join!" "This roleplay sounds cool!" or "Can I join?".
~No Mary Sue/Gary Sue's, or otherwise perfect characters. You can't have 'He is so nice everybody loves him' or 'She is so beautiful all the toms love her' in looks and personality. It is okay to have a very sweet and nice character or a beautiful character, but don't imply that everybody loves him/her because of it.
Violence~~
~You may not brutally injure or kill a cat without they're roleplayer's permission. This includes having a predator attacking someone else's character.
~Do not go into deep detail about brutal injuries. Keep in mind that lots of younger children view this.
~If a fox attacks a kit, the kit dies. If a monster runs over a warrior, the warrior dies. Do not make your character invincible.
Kid Safety~~
~As I said before, many young children view this. Keep this roleplay PG.
~Watch your language. Things like heck, stupid, crap, dumb, etc, are okay. Warrior swears (mouse dung, fox dung) are okay too.
~Any harsh language is not tolerated and will earn you a temporary or even permenant (if severe) ban.
Romance~~
~Romance is fine, but there is a few rules.
~Fade to black when mating or kitting. And do not take details to PM. If you go into detail, congratulations, you earned a ban.
~Don't elevate too quickly. I won't add the cats to the mate list. But if they have a special connection, like one saved another's life, they can fall in love quickly, like a Graystripe and Silverstream thing.
~If your she-cat is too young to have kits, she and/or some of the kits die. If the queen has three kits, 2 of the kits would probably die, and the queen can stay alive if the roleplayer wishes.
~Maximum of 4 kits per litter, and sometimes 5 with my permission. If the roleplay is not accepting because of too many characters, a queen may only have one or 2 kits.
~Be realistic. Your queen can't have the kits right after she finds out she is pregnant, and a queen cannot magically become pregnant. You can make characters starting off pregnant or with kits, but these characters can only have 1 or 2 kits, and you cannot roleplay they're mate or ask someone else to.
Other~~
~Make your posts understandable. I'm not asking for perfect grammar, but really. 'leafclaw jumped off the tree "hi..." she said shyly and looking at the cat' is understandable. 'jmpz 0f tre "h!" s@z shy' is not.
~Be nice! Nobody likes a rude person.
~Please take any fighting to PM with me, sandy, or one of the mods to work it out. Fighting is spam on this thread.
~Speaking of spam, don't do it. This is spam: "Oooh can I join!" "Cool RP." "I'm making my first character!" Marking is fine.
-Don't talk completely OOC (out of character) This is not okay: (I got a new phone) (Cool!) (What kind) This is okay: (I have finals today, wish me luck) *rp post* (Good luck) *rp post* Then the conversation ends and we move on. This is also okay: (My cats are open.) (How about Mossfall and Bunnynose?) (Alright I love forbidden love!) And they start roleplaying.
~Be active. We can't have the kit who's always sleeping or the leader who never comes out of his/her den.
~You can have canon names as long as the characters are not major characters. These characters would be Ferncloud, Dustpelt, etc. Major characters would be Tigerclaw, Fireheart, Bluefur, etc. You can have kit, apprentice, or leader names with the same prefix of major characters, though. (Firestar, Bluestar, etc.)
Bans
None! Let's keep it that way. c:
