Welcome! As you can see here, this is a planning page for a multi-Clan role-play. I'm looking for semi-advanced to advanced role-players. What I consider semi-advanced is a post typically consisting of three to five sentences while advanced role-players typically write a post that has six to eight sentences. The Clans I have in mind will be typical, but contain twists to excite possible members. They will also be in a temperate and deciduous environment. I would like the information to be detailed, giving the perfect image of territory and life of the Clan. I kindly ask that you pay close attention to the rules and requirements, as I will be a bit strict with the creation of these Clans.

Again, I kindly ask that the information is read thoroughly. If need be, open a new tab and have the rules on that tab as you write your form to ensure you have everything. I'm asking for something that should be easy and simple and when something as simple as reading the information given is not done properly, I do get a bit peeved. Continuing on, I will cover the basics of what I do not want when someone joins. The easiest way to lose your chance to even help out is to ask what Clans are open or to ask if you may have a Clan. There is a difference between applying and asking. You will most likely be ignored or simply rejected just by doing this. As for ranks, I have seen many people ask for ranks in their forms or right after they've been accepted. Ranks will be handled at a later date or when I feel someone has earned the right to claim a rank. Do not ask for a rank in the Clans. Another thing I will quickly mention is tasks and general forms. If you want a job, be sure to check what tasks are assigned. If someone asks for a task that has been taken, then you will be ignored. If you use the improper form, you'll most likely be rejected without a retry. I understand that this is strict, but it's simple things many fail to do properly. This project can be fun if we all do what we're expected to do. Management & Contribution I plan for this role-play to be simple and easy, yet have the right amount of detail. To achieve this, we need to manage our time correctly. The typical requirement I ask of admins and staff is for them to be on five days a week. I also ask we not have "greeting" posts where someone simply gives a greeting or "here." You must contribute, as it's necessary for the survival of the role-play. If one does not contribute, they will be asked to step up or leave the project. Hopefully no one will reach this point. As stated in the general rules, helpers who properly contribute will most likely be given the chance to claim a rank in the Clan of their choosing. Those who do not help much will not be given one, let alone a mod position. Now, there is a difference between contributing and taking over a role-play. It is a group project, so everyone's word is valued. However, I also have my own ideas I'd like to have. I have worked with people who have tried to takeover the project and make it their own. The page died because of this and I will not tolerate it here. Personally, I don't mind chatting. I think it's fine as long as we do not get sidetracked. Those who are not part of the planning staff are more than welcome to come talk to us. I only ask that we not discuss Clan details except for characters, as it can get a bit confusing. Tasks will be assigned depending on what "rank" you claim in the planning staff phase. Admins will be responsible for several tasks, but helpers may assist or perform small tasks. I have divided the helpers into two parts. The Clan helpers are helpers who have asked to specifically help a Clan and will help with territory and characteristics. If the admin gives their permission, Clan helpers may write this or even the introduction to the Clan. General helpers have not asked to be assigned to a Clan and help with the overall role-play. Unfortunately, the majority of this will be retrieving and researching information as well as organizing the small bits of information. While it seems like a small job, it's quite important. I have a system that should save the role-play from failing. Unfortunately, it isn't fool-proof. Secondary leaders is "back-up" plan that remains active all throughout. Secondary leaders are the admins. Sounds confusing, right? Well, let's take a moment to sort it out. If Clan A's admin and leader has become inactive, the secondary leader will take in and help manage the Clan. In this case, Clan A's secondary leader is the admin of Clan B. Clan B's admin will run the Clan and help the staff of all Clans find a suitable admin to replace the original one. In this process, the mods of Clan A will be looked at first. When Clan A has a new admin, the page will be remade and the role-play will be sorted to fix narrative issues caused by the inactivity of the first admin. Now, sometimes two admins become inactive or something just doesn't go as planned. Because of this, I want each Clan to be made to match the others but be able to stand on their own. If one Clan is doing well and the others are failing, I don't see the reason in making the successful Clan close because of the others. While this is a project for multiple Clans, I understand things go wrong and have experienced it. Of course, credit will still need to be given and the proper measures need to be taken if one Clan succeeds and is adapted to fit another multiple Clan role-play. ◆ ʀᴀɪɴʟᴇᴀғ 🍁 ◆
I know it's a bit weird crediting myself, but it's necessary in hopes of preventing theft. I created the coding and wrote the rules as well as the basic ideas for the Clans. I understand that the ideas may be changed a bit and I'm fine with that. The graphics are Warriors Artwork, I simply edited them with GIMP.

◆ Clan A ▸ Admin || ʀᴀɪɴʟᴇᴀғ 🍁 ▸ Clan Helper ||
◆ Clan B ▸ Admin || photosynthesis ▸ Clan Helper || Open
◆ Overall Idea ◆ The Clans reside in a small valley. They share a lake that provides a comfortable source of water. On the northern half of the lake, there are several boulders and large slabs of stone, providing a place for the cats to have gatherings. Clan A lives in the thick forest with plenty of undergrowth and some occasional rocks. The second Clan can be similar to RiverClan or WindClan.

I was thinking CardinalClan. It's uncommon, but not too odd. You can name yours whatever you wish, it doesn't have to exactly match. :3

So, I've been thinking about the characteristics and history for the Clans. I had a Clan called FawnClan on wcf. They "worshiped" five spirits. The "head" spirit was called the Great Spirit and didn't really take an official form like the other four. They knew the spirit was female, as medicine cats often believed to have seen her in some kind of fawn or doe form. There was also the legend that she had came down to the starting Clan and lead them in a time of need. Because the she-cat in that legend was a tortoiseshell, they kind of thought she would be one if she ever took a cat form like the others. Regarding the four, they took after the seasons. Depending on the season, one spirit would be more powerful and their opposite would be at their weakest. Spring was female and she was noted to shrink to the size of a kit when Autumn came around, Summer was male and had been known to be brave and proud. Autumn was female and clever as well as a bit more reserved than the others. Winter was male and generally had a bad attitude. He was the one who would cause a blizzard if one of the cats ever spoke poorly of him, but the others kind of stopped him from doing that. Spring was a brown tabby with green eyes, Summer was a golden brown tabby with yellow eyes, Autumn was a dark ginger tabby with amber eyes, and Winter was a gray tabby with blue eyes.
Really, they all have their own personalities. However, I think we can tweak this idea to fit our Clans. We can have two Great Spirits and have been thought to be mates but also opposites. They could have the same names as our Clan names. The four spirits can still "represent" the four seasons, but be named after things relating to a bird. (ex. Talon, Feather, Wing, Flight, etc.)

- - - That's really interesting, I love the idea! Just a thought, but you don't think it would scare people off do you? sometimes more complex clans don't get as many joiners because it's confusing. I'm not sure, it's up to you. I, personally, love the idea!

Yes and no? I get joining would be complex, but I've seen Clans that were far more complex than what we're doing and they've succeeded.

No, I don't mind. I thought you were going to go for HeronClan. I know egret is a type of heron.

- - - Sorry, my head's not been in the greatest space, I've got this killer headache and not everything I say is making sense. Will each spirit represent two seasons? For example one spirit could represent summer and winter, and the other could represent spring and autumn. If they do, I thought it might be interesting to name the spirits relating closely to the season they represent. EG the fourth spirit who represents winter could be "feather" or something to do with feathers, seeing as feathers looked like snow. Plume would be interesting too. Also, would we roleplay the spirits ever?

There's six spirits in total. Four represent the four seasons. I feel like naming them after bird stuff may get confusing, so maybe we keep their names? Instead, we can choose a bird that kind of represents them but those birds aren't sacred.

- - - Yeah I like that. What I was thinking might be interesting as a future plot idea, is basically one Cardinalclan finds dead cardinals littered around their territory, and confronts Egretclan about it. Soon after Egretclan finds a dead Egret, and assumes it's Cardinalclan's retaliation. Perhaps tensions begin to run high in the clans, and they start accusing each other, and fighting more. There could be two cats, one from each clan, who are trying to cause an all out war on each clans, so they can take over as leaders? Or something along those lines anyway.

- - - I'm so sorry I haven't been on here, i've been trying to focus on my schoolwork, and therefore had to drop a few things for a few days. I'm back now though!
For Egretclan I was thinking the terrain would be a sparse woodland, with the deep gorge running through it. There are also thinner streams and creeks which run through the territory. There would also be a few clearings. Egretclan camp would be situated around an rock overhang, and two large, broken trees. A stream runs through the rock overhang (which is the medicine cat den) and borders one side of the camp, where it runs deep through the middle of the camp, and deep into the territory. The large broken trees provide shelter for the warrior's, apprentice's and elder's den, while there is an abandoned badgers set which is where the nursery is. The leader's den is on the other side of the overhang, slightly separate from the medicine cats den. The grounds around the camp are taller than the camp itself, making it safe and protected. Nearby there is a deeper ridge. There could also be a dilapidated twoleg bridge across the gorge, perhaps where each clan borders one another?
Does this sort of setting work?
