Okay, so I'm almost done with the rules. I kindly ask everyone make saves for your Clan. When I complete the rules and place them into the layouts, you're welcome to put the coding into the right posts. If you want, I can add the rest of your characters in the allegiances. As far as I know, we will be opening about 8:00 A.M. forum time. Please be on, because if you happen to not be, then either your secondary leader or head moderator will open for you.

Sounds good. I think at the moment, I may hold off on creating cats for the other Clans.

Before we jump into the specific restrictions, allow it to be clearly stated that rules may be changed at any time and the admins of this role-play have the right to do so. Of course, it will be discussed, but if there must be an addition, change, or removal, it is not negotiable. We apologize if you do not like it, but we will run the role-play how we feel is suitable and make proper changes to improve the quality. We must also make it clear that if you have not read the rules nor the history or territory, you are stepping off on the wrong foot with us. The information has been arranged the way it has to help make it easier to understand. The work put in should not be ignored and anyone who blatantly ignores it will be directed back to it so they may read it. If you respect us, we will respect you. That brings another important point: respect and courtesy. No one should feel uncomfortable or attacked. If you differ with someone on an opinion, do not attack them for it here, please. If anything in this role-play makes you feel uncomfortable, it is advised you do not join. Allow us to explain one thing: staff are held at a different standard than regular members. If you are a staff member, it is highly advised you read the staff rules to ensure you are following the activity rules. These section is for "regular" members, as it will be far less confusing. Regular members, save for those with a high position, will need to be on at the minimum of four days a week. This may sound a bit strict, but due to the size of the role-play, we must enforce stricter guidelines to ensure our success. The admins and staff attempt to provide the best experience possible and with the absence of members, that experience can not be provided. Admins and their staff will keep a close eye on activity. Every two weeks, there will be a check for inactive members. Obviously there will be consequences for breaking the rule and obviously we will have members who do break those rules. It is unfortunate, but we will still not tolerate it when it happens. Background, relations to other members, and other factors will not and should not influence someone to think that they can become inactive and not pay some kind of price. However, noted hiatuses are acceptable. What is a noted hiatus? Well, if a member knows they will be absent for a week, then they can alert a staff member about their expected absence and will not face any negative consequences for their absence. We kindly ask you do alert us if you are expected to be gone. If you can no longer be a member, it is best to let us know instead of going inactive and possibly create a sour relationship with one or more of the staff members. Of course, we can understand being in a rush one day, but if you can role-play in another role-play, you should at least be able to make a role-play post to move things. We will not allow "greeting" posts to count towards you being on the role-play. Unfortunately, this section will be the longest and hold many rules and regulations. We have organized it into smaller sections, but due to their relation to role-playing, they will be under this section. Again, before we jump into another batch of rules, let us go over the basics that everyone should know and should not do. Power-playing is basically taking a character you do not own and controlling them to do certain deeds and actions. While we have very few exceptions to this rule, it is still frowned upon and may result in a negative consequence. We kindly ask you refrain from doing this and if you feel you are, simply asking should not hurt. In fact, it may be better to check instead of doing whatever. Another issue that can have a few exceptions is spotlighting. The attention of the members and characters should vary depending on the location, time, and importance of what is being role-played. Depending on the "plot" depends on what should take more attention. There will be more discussion about plots, but be sure to be aware of when you should have the spotlight on your character and when you should not. The third common role-playing issue is god-modding. While Warriors has been known to be unrealistic at times and even break their own rules, it will not be allowed here. There have been measures taken to ensure god-modding does not happen in certain cases and during moments when god-modding can be more common, a watchful eye will be present. Finally, the fourth and final big issue: meta-gaming. Meta-gaming typically refers to a character knowing something they should not in canon. An example would be two characters entering a forbidden romance and then a third character randomly knowing about that relationship. If it is not role-played out and with the two giving permission, they can not know about the relationship. How about we move on and get to a part many despise reading. There is a lot of controversy about literacy and role-playing. On the old forums, there were typically four categories a role-play was in. However, we have decided to not exactly label ourselves. Instead, we simply ask for proper spelling and grammar as well as at least five sentences per post. Any less appears as if someone does not care and will not try. Given that the typical paragraph for children is five paragraphs, we are not asking much. You are invited to write more, but be cautious of "fluff." Filler makes the post difficult to read in terms sorting important information out from simple filler. Realism is quite important in this role-play. While the admins and staff will make sure everyone is following basic logic, we feel it should be touched upon that a patrol of three cats cannot properly take on a grown badger without serious injury and in a matter of seconds. In the Warriors universe, there are certain things that can and can not happen, so please abide by those rules and our rules. Now, general role-play rules play along with realism. It is too coincidental when your character gets all of the spotlight, so please do not do that. There will be moments when your character’s plot or spot in the limelight will take front and center. God-modding and meta-gaming are a no go for us, so do not even think about it. Please keep in mind that cats do die. To combat the chance of someone taking the liberty to have all of their cats die or live through a major event, the admins of the Clans will have what is called "chance charts." Depending on the situation, these can have an impact on the Clan or just a few characters. They will be on the discussion page, and will only be used when the situation calls. If you are not comfortable with the chance of your character dying, then please refrain from joining. If someone had been deleted or demoted for actions outside the role-play, we will find a way to make it work within the role-play. Whether it is a quick mention, a scene is played out explaining, or we replace them entirely and have a stand-in character take their place. We have many options to make sure the plot goes on without interruption. Hate to say it, but I do. If someone is deleted, they have a week to come back and everything is fine again. We will have something that matches the season as to why they were out of commission. If they do not come back, a staff member or someone else can take their spot or we will simply state they have died. We are very aware some of it would be seen as poor writing and it would be odd if a bunch of cats just died, but it is what it is. Everyday life can be quite.. frustrating when it repeats. However, it is also a great opportunity that is often overlooked when it comes to developing relationships and cooling off from a major plot. Patrols are often made up on the spot and seems very out of place compared to the books. To kind of create a similar feeling in the books and motivate activity, the member owning the deputy will create a list each Saturday for patrols on each day. This is not to control a character, but initiate others to do something besides waking up and grabbing a piece of prey. We will also bring back the small journey to the Moonpool for apprentices. Unfortunately, this is a small event that even the books have forgotten about, but some readers enjoyed. Of course, there is another small event that many role-plays have possibly forgotten and that is the warrior assessment. Before an apprentice can take on the assessment, they will need to complete six training sessions. Three would be for hunting and three would be for battling. These must be completed before the assessment and before an apprentice can go to the Moonpool and receive their name. Medicine cat apprentices will have two sessions of hunting, two sessions of fighting, and two sessions of medical and spiritual training. The medicine cat will choose the full name for the medicine cat apprentice and leaders will choose the full name for apprentices. Suggestions are welcome, but the leader's word is law. For weather, you may do whatever is possible in the forecast, however be cautious of creating big storms, as the admins may not appreciate it without their consent. When it comes to herbs, be sure to check what herb is available in your territory and what herb is not. This can also create some interaction between the Clans, but make sure you have the admins permission to come onto the page. When you join, please keep in the mind of the characteristics, rules, and any information pertaining to your character. We advise you to not use "handsome" or "beautiful" when describing your character. Why? Well, that is kind of going into god-modding territory. Do not apply for deputy, as leaders will decide on their deputy. Please properly use our form, coding and all. LBGTQ+ characters are welcomed here. Anyone who is against this or tries to argue against this can kindly leave. As for queens and kits, we kindly ask their be a father for the kits. You may ask one of the members if they would like to have a cat father the kits. The two cats do not necessarily have to be mates, either. As for single kits, please do not join with them. We would much rather have room for kits who are born in the Clan over having an overload of orphan kits. While we will also allow permanent queens, we ask you develop them. Regarding relationships, none of the admins mind two different people having their characters join as mates, or a character having a crush on another. As for having two characters being mates and owning them, the two characters must be retired. We also encourage joining and having a character related to others if the member allows it. In the Clans, there will be available spots, so please fill free. We will restrict the amount of outsiders, half-Clan cats, and outside cats who join the Clans. Please keep in mind any cat who is not a full Clan cat or has mixed blood will probably be discriminated against. When it comes to genetics, please be as accurate as you can. The admins either have a chart, a generator, or a basic idea of how genetics may work, so please don't try to pull the wool over our eyes. Any outsiders will be limited in number and restricted to an area. The admins will decide on the number and the outsider will need to remain in a Clan area. They cannot and will not remain in the territory, undiscovered for a long time. They must have a purpose. Now, an important note to make would be that characters cannot be made for the simple purpose of finding a mate. They need to have something besides that to keep them going. Something that can help develop them. At the same time, they also should not be made for the simple purpose of plot. For every warrior that is made, one apprentice may be made. Keep in mind, the maximum amount of apprentices is ten per Clan. While we do ask genders be kept somewhat even, it will be up to the admins to moderate this for their Clans, as every Clan may vary in characters. We will be limiting prefixes to two per Clan, however the cat must be an elder for the prefix to be used again in the same Clan. Allow us to explain. If there is an elder in ShadowClan named Cedarpelt, then there may be a Cedarkit or a Cedarpaw. We will have banned prefixes and suffixes. To check and see which are banned, please refer to the prefix list on the joining page. High ranks of any kind are a privilege. They can be taken away if someone proves to be unqualified. Mentors and apprentices are a great example of such. In most cases, mentors fail to train their apprentices or the apprentice(s) are the typical trope. Be aware of you actions, as it disrupts the overall narrative and have some negative impact. If an apprentice is shown to be too stubborn and refuses to listen, it may result in the assignment of another mentor and a warning to cool it. Even if the mentor is not technically in the wrong, they can and will be penalized for it. Deputies and medicine cats should be active, as well as important characters in the main or minor plots. If you are not, then you will be replaced. You have the chance to be high in the ranks, do not assume you can simply do what you wish. Certain plots will take priority over the others. Events in the main plots that involve all five Clans will play out before any other plots. Minor plots refer to plots that only impact a Clan or possibly two Clans. They will take the second priority, as they involve a decent amount of characters, but still on a smaller scale. Subplots where it is a Clan life event, a fox encounter, or kitting will take the least amount of priority of the three, but still have power over instant drama plots. There will be planning for each event. A week will be the minimum amount of notice when a potential event will take place. Now, plots like kitting may be planned, but if a member of the staff is online, in addition to the medicine cat, then a queen may kit early if it will involve some complications due to early birth. However, not all kittings will proceed like this. If you are unsure about what you may initiate without permission, ask a staff member what is and is not acceptable. The admins and staff of this role-play should be cracking down on poor behavior and general laziness. If a member violates a rule for the first time, they will be issued a warning. Two warnings will equal a star. A star is not something you would want to receive, as you may only have five stars before being deleted. You may rejoin once and will automatically start on the second star. Now, when a member gets to the second star, they cannot not "attend" the Gathering and their characters must remain in camp for two days. For the third star, their apprentices could have an additional training session added on before they become a warrior. If they do not have an apprentice but have a warrior acting as a mentor, their apprentice will be assigned a new mentor for a week and that cat will be sick or under punishment for something. If the member happens to have both, admin may decide on which approach to take. When a fourth star is issued, it will result in previous punishments from before and a week's suspension from that Clan. Now, if they have joined two Clans, the two admins can discuss if this will impact both Clans or just the one. If they show a better attitude in the other Clan, it will only be in the Clan they're not doing so well with. Finally, the fifth star will result in deletion. If a member does rejoin, then they cannot have any special plots, positions, or even apprentices until two weeks in. If the member vastly improves past those two weeks, then the admin can discuss the possibility of cleaning the slate for the member.

{{ sand's character save / / }} RIVER CHARACTERS ;; ➤ Cloudedstar | 78/88/98 moons | Tom | Sexuality Description of five sentences minimum ➤ Sand Clan: River Rank: Leader Kin: OPEN Romantic Interest? Answer ➤ Lichenstream | 34 moons | She-cat | Sexuality Lichenstream is a medium-sized she-cat with broad shoulders, giving her a wider stance. Despite the fact she may appear larger than some females, she is oddly elegant. Blanketed by wispy pallid fur, it's easy to point out what covers the rest of her pelt, or at least from her head to her toe. Decorated by dark grey spotted tabby markings, a long line streams down her spine to her tail-tip. Her tail-tip is dark grey in hue unlike her chin which is white. She has very pale yellow eyes and an unexpected tear in her left ear; it's unknown how it got there, but Lichenstream has always assumed it was from a fox fight. Just the sound of Lichenstream's name is enough to make one groan. Is it because she's bossy or maybe it's the fact she can be clever? It's hard to tell, really. On top of being bossy, she is vain, or what she calls "having pride". Thanks to th fact she's vain, Lichenstream is elegant in the way of being graceful such as when she hunts for she's a fine hunter. Hunting is the one thing she is skillful for, allowing the tabby to give a good boast. Though she is disorganized behind the scenes; it's something she's never had true control of and that, in itself, makes her anxious. The tense, fidgety feeling that she succumbs to is her enemy. From the times she's faced her anxiety, courage has risen in this she-cat to try and stop it. She's also courageous enough to protect those that she has a close relationship with or herself. But, of course, not everything is simple and easy as one thinks; and that's something Lichenstream has yet to realize. ➤ Sand Clan: River Rank: Warrior Kin: N/A ; open Romantic Interest? Answer ➤ Mistythroat | 27 moons | Tom | Sexuality Mistythroat has quite the feminine name, doesn't he? It's difficult to tell whether this tom is female or male, especially when his appearance is brought into play too. Blanketed by long frosty white fur, his pelt is left clean as a slate for no colors embellish him. As for his build, it's easily seen that Mistythroat is not exactly your average male; he is considerably tall with long limbs. Having these long legs, he is, in fact, a swift runner. Tall, pale ears accompany him along with small, curved paws. The only mesmerizing part of this white feline are his eyes, which carry the heterochromia gene. That being said, both eyes are a different color; his left is amber-orange while his right is icy blue. They're definitely hypnotizing if you ever get a good look at them, of course. Easily confused and skeptical, it's no wonder Mistythroat questions a majority of the things that one tells him. He might not even hear you too because his head is in the clouds. He's truly scatterbrained in that little head of his and what makes it more interesting is the fact this tom is a tad quirky. Well, it's more than a tad, but who's keeping count? Though he may be quirky, he's actually an amiable feline. He isn't one to get in fights and defend his claims for he doesn't really have one. When it comes to his own claims, he usually uses logic unless it's a touchy subject within the clan which he strays from. Luckily, he can come to understand both sides of an argument. Like a shadow in the night, Mistythroat does a fine job of being "invisible", whether he's eavesdropping or not. Unfortunately, he tends to be self-critical and brings up moments of his life, good or bad, to light and analyzes them. For this white male, he doesn't mind and doesn't allow it to affect him in ways that are hurtful unless something goes wrong. However.. what you don't know won't hurt you, right? Or at least that's what they say. ➤ Sand Clan: River Rank: Warrior Kin: open Romantic Interest? N/A ➤ Morningpaw | 7 moons | She-cat | Unknown Sturdy and compact, Morningpaw does not appear like some cats who are see as slender and athletic compared to her more chubby, round build. Her paws, eyes, and head are round-shaped and has a broad chest to pair. It's said that she has quite the fluffy, thick tail which tends to get in her way, to say the least. She has a short, dense coat that is adorn by two unlikely colors; blue, cream, and white. The majority of Morningpaw's pelt, from her head to her hind legs is blue-grey, much like the shade found on a British Shorthair. Between her eyes, a dash of cream that fades to white trails down to her chest. There are also faint streaks of cream that peer through her dominant blue-grey pelt, including both of her hind legs that are splashed in cream and white along with part of her thick tail. Her front paw is completely white as is her right, but only on the bottom. To finish this she-cat off, she is adorned by large, round brown eyes. Description of five sentences minimum ➤ Sand Clan: River Rank: Apprentice Kin: OPEN Romantic Interest? Answer
THUNDER ;; ➤ Name | Age | Gender | Sexuality Description of five sentences minimum ➤ Sand Clan: Answer Rank: Answer Kin: Answer Romantic Interest? Answer ➤ Drizzlehawk | Age | Gender | Sexuality Description of five sentences minimum; grey tabby w/ amber-orange eyes ;; ➤ Sand Clan: thunder Rank: warrior Kin: Mate is Ferndance, kit is Thrushsomething.
