About
MeadowClan is made up of medium to large sized cats usually with pelts that help them blend into their home. They love drinking the dew off of the foliage as the sun rises. They have two tiny streams that cut through two different parts of their territory which come to an abrupt end. Their streams flow into the lake on a small gentle slope. Surely the water comes from somewhere as it flows into the Lake not out of it. They are well adapted to living in a clearing and hiding in the tall grasses and shrubs. While the Meadow they claim also has some trees they use to set boundaries near one border leading to EvergreenClan and the other a twoleg path between them and BreezeClan they don't usually climb trees. Not when most of their prey can be found somewhere in the meadow where they don't need to climb.
Of all the seven clans they are the most peaceful and most likely to offer assistance to loners, or take in kittypets for a short time. However visitors are not oft allowed to stay for long, but if a cat from outside the clans prove to be skilled hunters and/or fighters with a willingness to learn and follow the Warrior Code then the clan votes on whether or not to let someone join the Clan with kittypet or loner roots. Rogues however they do not like at all for rogues just cause trouble.
Due to living in a meadow, all the cats of MeadowClan save in late leaffall and all of leafbare smell of flowers. Only their medicine cats smell of flowers and herbs in every moon and every season.
History
MeadowClan 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 Maddie so named by the twolegs while they crossed over the sun-drown place. She was born on the ship. Six others too thought of this and so they and Maddie began their camps. Maddie with the help of her mother Fanny who never took on a Clan name. Later on they were given nine lives by StarClan and so Maddie became Meadowstar for she had settled her camp in a Meadow near the lake.
MeadowClan, 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, BoulderClan, EvergreenClan, LakeClan, 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.
