I have another rule. Now while I understand changing some things here and there about your character (I have done it too), we don't need you changing up your character a billion times. For example; Someone has their cat start off with having a kind, but shy personality, but then they don't like it and change it to a grumpy, sarcastic one, but then they don't like that and turn them into having a strict, workaholic attitude, etc. The same can go with appearances like changing your cat from a ginger tabby to a black cat to a white with brown spots to something else.
These changes can become confusing and quite frankly annoying because I feel like I am playing a game of chance. I never know when your character will change the next time and not to be mean, but it doesn't make me always want to roleplay with your character because any development that could happen between our characters goes out the window since you decided to change your character's personality once more.

{ ooc }I may have another rule idea, but at the same time I'm not sure about it. It's mostly about if you're role-playing with someone don't leave them hanging.
For example, I answer Rain's starter, she replies back but I never reply back after that one time. I'm still on the Clan role-playing with another. She likes my posts, tags me, but I still don't answer back to her reply.

I have an important question. Don't take this the wrong way. Are you guys still willing to do the five?
Edit: I'm bringing this up because the lack of potential admins and helpers is concerning. I've been thinking about it and it is an idea that could be better if we set up around the time of the book instead of an off-season where no one really cares for the original Clans. Considering this, I also have an idea that can go multiple ways and possibly bring something fresh to the table on these forums.

That could be a potential rule Cinder. I am still willing to do the five, but I am curious to know what your ideas are especially if it could bring something fresh to the table.

Well, it would kind of be a remake of an old Clan of mine, but if we change it to how it was originally meant to be, along with the plot, it could be really fun.

If we all agree on this change then I would be willing to do that. It would be fun to help remake an old clan and I am interested in hearing more about it like what was the clan and everything?

They lived in a forest with a lake. They have five "spirits" but with one being the creator of the world in their lore. The other four are named after the seasons. It's also a monarchy with a council, who guides the leaders.

I really like that. So I am guessing there are five leaders that rule over the clan and they are regarded as spirits (almost like some kind of god) and four of them are named after seasons. Is the cat that is regarded as the creator consider the main leader while the other four are like sub-leaders? I am guessing they also pick their own council, which are basically advisors and deputies in their world. Assuming the five leaders are mortal cats, does the council become the next "spirits" assuming that that there are five council members for each leader? Hopefully I am making sense.

I didn't want to get too into it, but now I'm going to splurge. xD
It's only two leaders. They're mates. The current leaders choose a successor from their first litter. When they become an apprentice, they are trained by the deputy. Technically there are five "families" though. The royal family is kind of under the Great Spirit. The others are under Spring, Summer, Autumn, and Winter. The head of those families are responsible for festivals held during their season. They also make up part of the council and specialize in different tasks. The family under Spring are responsible for the youth of the Clan. They are often the ones who teach about the life of the Clan and medicine cats often come from this family. Cats of Spring can do anything and everything, but a good majority of permanent queens and caretakers (males who help in the nursery) come from this family. The cats under Summer are skilled fighters and the head of this family is responsible for assisting with battle plans and strategies for the leader. They hold battle training ad are the first to enter battle. The family under Autumn are skilled hunters and swimmers. They help gather food before it becomes too scarce. They have constant patrols to retrieve food for storage. The family under Winter are similar to Autumn, but they find prey in hard to reach areas. They have a great sense of smell and help the hunting patrols find prey when winter comes.
The council is made up of the heads of families (generals), elders, and the deputy. The elders are the majority and have the most voice due to their wisdom. The council helps make decisions like picking an heir. Of course they aren't always listened to, but that is best because I'd like to have it where the council (mainly elders looking out for their own) are somewhat corrupted with power. I did kind of implement arranged mates, but on WCF, I couldn't really put two cats together without it being against the rules. As for names, each family would have a list of suffixes. Spring would be related to plants. Summer would be the generic -claw suffixes with some bird related suffixes. Autumn would have some plant and water along with -pounce and others. Winter could have kinda weather related and a misc. I haven't really decided for Winter because I was trying to get the ranks and families lined out. Examples would be (in order from what I mentioned): Tawnyfern, Icewing, Foxchaser, Hollystorm. The royal family could pick any of those.
To obviously prevent inbreeding, the families would have mates from other families. The kits who were not selected would be arranged to one of the head's offspring or close relative to keep a bond. Depending on the season the "true" leader is born in depends on what family would technically be closer to the royals. (The true leader is born into the royal family. The gender does not matter.) So if the current leader was born in summer, the family under Summer would kinda stand higher than the others. Spring would then have the least influence and such because they are last in the rotation at that point. Back to the process, depending on the status of the family depends on which cat moves to the family. In the example before, a cat from the Spring family would change their family when they join their mate. The gender wouldn't matter. Mates can be suggested and informally arranged at birth, but when they begin training is when they are told "here is your future mate" so they know their future. Not everyone in the family are related, they happen to either be very distinctly related or born in the same season.
As for the spirits, the Great Spirit is the only one currently known to take alternate forms such as a doe or fawn. Spring is a small she-cat who starts as the size of a kitten and grows quickly during her season. In my head, she's kind of an entitled brat because she symbolizes regrowth. Summer is playful and strong. If he could, he would flirt with the she-cats. Autumn is an observer and wise. She's also quick and tends to be silent unless she has to calm down the others. Winter is an absolute jerk that will hold a grudge if things aren't done right. He's envious of the other spirits and causes the majority of the fights.

As for the territory, they have a camp on a cliff where the apprentices, warriors, and leader have nests in the trees. The nursery, elders den, and medicine cat den is below among decaying wood and foliage. They have plenty of cover due to the rocks, fallen timber, and the trees covering the top. Kits are to stay in camp and new apprentices need a senior apprentice or warrior with them when they leave the camp. This is because the main way down to the forest can be dangerous if you don't know which way to go and are in a hurry. It's easier travelling up than down. Halfway up the cliff, a path breaks off into a cave for the medicine cats to speak with the spirits and ancestors. (Though the spirits rarely interact with the cats unless they are angered or there is a dire reason, so StarClan still exists.) The cliff where the camp is settled is the highest, but it isn't too high to where it is cold. It is actually there so predators would have a disadvantage attacking the camp. The main foe they face are foxes, as there is a fox den where they tend to show up towards the south. No matter how hard they try, the foxes keep coming back. There is a meadow where fawns and doe are seen at and because of this, it's called Fawn Meadow. There are other landmarks like Sand's Stones. There's a tale of why it's called that, but in the original version, I was told to exclude it. Sand was an ancient FawnClan settler before the current naming system took place. In fact, they were deputy and they died in battle at these stones overlooking the lake so in honor of her, it was names such. The lake is fed by a waterfall not too far from the fox den, but in the right season, it's a special place to visit. In all honesty, I would like to redo a big part of the territory and expand upon it if we go with this idea. I do want to keep Fawn Meadow and Sand's Stones, though.

I would like to get the territory revamped and expanded upon as well as fixing any issues with ranks and families. Ceremony ideas would be nice besides a feast, and a day in each season where the Clan relaxes and has contests. I appreciate this, though. ;3; I also have two plot ideas, but one would have to come after the other.

I agree with what Cinder said and alright Rain. I can start thinking of ceremonies and territories. I think it might be cool if we had a special ceremony that was exclusive to each season. Maybe it is like the family's season trademark or something. I also like the idea about having a day where the clan relaxes and have contests.
