About
BoulderClan is made up large cats which like one of their neighbors, TorClan, know how to climb over rock. After all most of their territory is made up of boulders and they live just below on one side of the tor where TorClan claims as their home. Their pads are tougher than all but one clan's among their territories. Like their neighbors their own territory is made up of a lot of rock, mostly bounds, and some pebbles. Unlike their neighbors living in a somewhat higher elevation they do have trees. Not many, but a few. Which certainly gives them more cover in order to hide from predatory birds. Truly BoulderClan are the strong and patient. While they would not choose to war, they will not hesitate to defend their clan mates and what is theirs. They too are often hostile to kittypets, rogues and loners. However any kit which belongs to no clan if it is under two moons they are not above stealing them from those outside the clans who get to close to raise them as warriors - as long as they have a queen who is capable of providing them with milk.
History
BoulderClan is one of seven clans that came to be countless seasons ago when their ancestors were caught by twolegs and placed in large dens which could float on water (to the twolegs this would be the 11th century Norsemen). On these dens which floated on water for days and moons on end their ancestors caught rats and were given bits of fish by the twolegs when there were not enough rats as kits were born. Some of these cats and their kits escaped once the twolegs anchored in the New World and found themselves living in the wild like their long distant ancestors before them. Still others remained on the ships and returned again and again with other cats who were used to catch vermin on the floating twoleg dens.
One of the first cats to think it would be easier to live as a group rather than on ones own was Bold so named by the twolegs while they crossed over the sun-drown place. Six others too thought of this and so they and Bond began their camps. Later on they were given nine lives by StarClan and so Bond became Boulderstar for he had settled his camp in an area of many boulders.
BoulderClan, on full moon nights visits with the other six clans that were born at the same time as their own ancestor, Boulderstar was given his nine lives. These clans are known as BreezeClan, EvergreenClan, LakeClan, MeadowClan, ShadeClan and TorClan.
Rules
oo1. Forum rules. Please be sure to follow them.
oo2. Respect is to be given to everyone. Respect must be given to the rules too.
oo3. Be sure to include others in plots, or just let anyone jump in and see what happens.
oo4. In regards to activity I hope to see each individual on a minimum of thrice a week to roleplay. More-so for anyone holding an important role such as leader, deputy, medicine cat, or medicine cat apprentice. If one will need to be absent for over a week please let me know. Otherwise you'll be removed from the roleplay after a fortnight.
oo5. In regards to literacy we'd like to see proper capitalization, punctuation and spelling. Spell-check and Grammarly are your friends. However a few mishaps here and there can be overlooked. But please no 'txt speak' or the like. In OoC its fine.
oo6. Characters should have both weaknesses and strengths. No character is perfect nor the opposite. QUILTBAG+ characters are more than welcome to join. Please note however that while cats cannot have surgery they can still choose to use whatever pronouns they prefer. Just don't make this their only trait.
oo7. There is to be no godmodding, powerplay, or metagaming. If your character tries to kill someone else's character it is up to them whether or not their own character dies. Also please be realistic for no cat can catch every bit of prey, or never get hurt in battle whether against other cats or predators.
oo8. Cats do age and so elders should eventually join StarClan.
oo9. Apprentices can have neither mate nor kits. Only once an apprentice has gained warrior status may they take on a mate. Apprentices however may have crushes.
o10. Please no spotlighting. No one individual should be the center of attention. Not all the time anyway.
o11. Please try to make characters as realistic as possible. At least realistic enough to where they'd fit into the books. Which means no magical powers, not even those seen in PoT or OotS.
o12. Please do not spam or advertise here, thank you.
o13. Please note you may only play one high ranking role at any given time. These are clan leader, deputy, medicine cat, or medicine cat apprentice.
o14. Do note that you may not roleplay until you've used the joining form located at the end of the clan allegiance. And because this is a claim-a-cat clan you'll need to choose a pre-existing feline who is open.
o15. Feel free to PM me if you'd like to help in any way.
