Introduction
A single cat padded through the territory. His eyes flitted nervously from side to side, his expression one of terror. The young tom knew it was coming. There was no avoiding it. Opening his maw, he gave a mew that sounded so pitiful it was almost scary. A moment later the ground began to shake, the trees nearly falling down. The earth opened up and swallowed the tom. There was nothing that he could do. It was over. Over.
In MoonClan, the youngest leader to ever lead MoonClan awoke, his eyes opening in surprise. There was nothing that he had been able to do in the dream, but there was something that he could do now. The leader got to his paws and padded towards the Medicine Cat's Den. This was serious. Something had to be done before his dream became reality.
Rules
❂ Literacy ❂
First of all, no txt tlk! Secondly, please avoid writing 1 liners. I can't reply to 1 liners, they aren't descriptive, nor are they informative of what your cat is doing. Please understand this and try your best to reply with correct punctuation and spelling. It's okay if you mess up! All I expect is your best!
❂ Relationships ❂
Please let your character develop a crush rather than just join with one, it adds to roleplay fun and development. No having your own characters being mates with each other! That also takes away from the roleplay fun, plus it's way cuter watching two characters fall in love. BE SURE TO NOTIFY ME WHEN YOUR CHARACTER FEELS SOME TYPE OF WAY FOR ANOTHER CHARACTER. And never forget that crushes are not started with. If you really like the idea of someones character with yours, just ask if you can RP them together. That said, i don't want to see someone go "Gee, I wish Swagpaw would fall in love...!" because that goes heavily against my rules. I want this to be as realistic as it can be! People don't fall in love after one conversation and I would appreciate if ANY of you interested in joining realize this.
** THEREFORE ** - - That means DO NOT plan character relationships! Please respect that I want relationships in this clan to be fluid and natural. Should you have an issue with this rule, clearly this clan is NOT for you. There's plenty a clan that allow planned relationships and joined crushes.
❂ Activity ❂
Please be active at least 2-3 times a week, and by that i mean rping. I love to chat with everyone, but this clan is for RPing so please at least RP once in a while every time you are here. If you don't feel included enough then go ahead and tell me and I will do my best to help you get into the RPing action! Those who are not active for over 2 weeks will be deleted. Please tell me if you're going to be absent, or if you wish to leave the roleplay. Do not join and never come back because I don't want to waste my time adding you.
❂ Characters ❂
I have no problem with have characters in an rp that are handsome, beautiful, pretty, ect., what I do have a problem with is when they HAVE NO FLAWS. If you need ideas for your characters don't be afraid to ask! ^u^ I don't have a cat limit, but please only make a amount you can handle. You aren't expected to rp all of your characters at once either, especially dead cats. So don't worry if you don't touch a character for a while. All i ask is that you remember you have them. Keep the Genders even! I will NOT allow a person to have a gender difference no larger than 3. So should you have 3 she-cats and 0 toms. You NEED to do something about that. No joining as queens or as an orphaned kit! However, if you're willing to set up a plot to find your kit, i'm willing to let this slide!
❂ Powerplay ❂
No godmodding or spotlighting! It's bland and boring. This includes cat killing, you cannot kill a cat without permission! Also, no auto dodges, or auto hits. Be realistic with fight scenes! Your cat will not come out of battle unscathed. The cats in the books have only ever chased out predatory animals.. So don't have your character killing foxes or badgers!
❂ Respect ❂
I won't tolerate any from of bullying or disrespecting to another member! I don't want this to get deleted as I and a few others put a lot of effort into this clan, and if you do have beef and not chicken with someone, take it away from here please, and talk it out. I won't hesitate to ask someone to leave the roleplay. We've dealt with our fair share of 'arguments' and trust me when I say this clan is very civil and understanding. We talk things out. We get over differences. This is for the enjoyment of rping, and while friendships and chatting is a very real thing too, please understand each of us is different and deserve the same amount of respect as anyone else.
❂ No Kit____ing ❂
If you try to do any Kit___ing, we will ignore you, if you try multiple times, I believe I have the right to report you for spam. Kit-STEALING can be okay if used in this rp for plot advancement and if the respective parties are okay with it. I know kit___ing is quite dead now, but hey, I can't be too careful.
❂ Plot ❂
Don't try to make a large scale plot without my confirmation. I like getting in on plot planning too! However, small plots like taking down an eagle, or forbidden romance do not require permission! Unless it reaches a more serious state. Also, as this has been a small problem in this clan before. Do not plan very dramatic things without letting the people you're rping with know what you're planning to do. And PLEASE do not get mad if the people you're rping with are not okay with what you want to do. Remember there is a person behind the name.
❂ Realism ❂
I don't want cats with pink fur and hair covering an eye. This goes with names too. This clan is going to be situated in a hilly area so names like Dragonwish or Pegasusfur will not be accepted! HOWEVER, I like the idea of cats with unusual EYE COLOURS! So cats with purple eyes, or red eyes, are totally fine! just not cats with black or white eyes. That idea is just scary.
Another realism thing to consider is time. Time WILL pass in RP whether you want it to or not! Please do not keep your character as an apprentice for over 40 moons!
❂ Apprentices ❂
No apprentice queens or apprentice mates! Apprentices are learning and that is their role in the clan. Drama is fun but please respect your character for what they are. These things can happen after they become a warrior. Only under a VERY strict criteria would I allow someone to break this. Also, please consider that you make a warrior should you have an apprentice. I really hate to see a person rp nothing but apprentices. I mean, come on! You leave it up to everyone else to make sure your apprentices get mentors and it's simply not fair.
❂ Positions ❂
For this RP, it will be like the books, where the Leader will choose apprentice names, and Medicine cats will choose Medicine cat apprentice names. Cats can only make name suggestions with good reason! ex. Crowsky in honour of Skyheart. Also, just like the clans, when the leader dies, the deputy must be prepared to become leader. Same for Medicine Cats. I want this clan to revolve around the realism that is in Warriors. PLEASE ALSO LET ME KNOW WHEN YOU WANT YOUR APPRENTICE TO BE MADE A WARRIOR. Because I do not want to be the one in charge of your character for those types of things, and it'd be bad if i randomly decided your character is a warrior when you didn't want them to be, you know? That said I feel the need to reiterate that PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE do NOT have your apprentice... be... an apprentice.... their... whOLE... LIFE...
❂ Use (), {}, or [] when talking outside of Roleplay ❂

History
--[]Work In Progress[]--
Territory
Bluff Stones
A cliff in the Northern part of the territory rising steeply into the sky. Daring apprentices and showy warriors will try their paw at navigating to its top, but with limited foot holds this treacherous cliff is a disaster waiting to happen.
Stone Tumble
Near the base of the Bluff Stones lies a large pile of boulders. These rocks have many crevices and crannies, and after sitting here for as long as any cat can remember it's probably safe to enter...
Great Lion Fields
In the East and the West, the Great Lion Fields hug the edge of the Haze and spread a good distance into Moonclan territory. The Fields, as most call it, is named for its appearance in Greenleaf. When the sun shines brightly upon Moonclan territory, hundreds of bright yellow flowers pop up across these grassy fields. These flowers are called Great Lions here in Moonclan, from a story that elders brought about huge maned cats.
Tall Tree Forest
An large forest filled with shrubbery below, and trees that seem to touch the clouds. Most of the trees have moss covering them, and many broken branches. Squirrels and owls hide in the various holes in the trees. Birds roost in the large bushes, and many small animals such as mice and voles dig small holes every where.
Rocky River
The River lies mainly in the Western part of the territory, running through the Fields and then past camp, to the North of it. It stops right before exiting the territory to the East, and gathers in a pond. The River is rather slow moving, and no danger to a grown cat except in its deepest parts. In many parts, the River is extremely shallow and can even be walked across by an apprentice, if they can balance on slippery rocks. In some areas, the river leaks off into what are basically large puddles. These puddles have soft, sandy bottoms and range from the size of an actual puddle to the size of a small pond.
Star Pool
This is the pool where medicine cats and leaders go to commune with Starclan. The pool is located at the far East of the territory, very near to the Haze border. Its depths are filled with swirling colors and its surface is constantly rippling from the incoming water. To dream, a medicine cat will drink the water until they fall into a deep sleep, where they dream of riddles and starry cats. The belief of Starclan was brought by the very first cats here, and passed down through the generations.
Camp
Main
The camp is found in a slight dip in the territory. To the South lies the forest, to the East and West the fields and to the North the river and the bluffs. The camp walls are made of trees and rocks to the South and brambles to the North. There are two exits, the front exit through a well hidden hole in the brambles and the back entrance, a climb over some of the safer rocks.
Nursery and Elders dens
These two dens are side by side. Each is a carefully construed den, made of brambles and mud. The bottom of each den is coated with the mud, and leaves and moss are pressed into it while it's still drying. This creates a sturdy, safe den that is completely safe for kits and elders. The entrance to each den is blocked with ferns.
Medicine Cat den
The Medicine Cat lives in and near a great broken tree stump at the edge of the camp that had been struck by lightning long ago. The Medicine Cat stores their herbs in hollows eaten out by termites or in other nooks and crannies around the tree.
Apprentice den
The Apprentice den is a collection of bushes located near the Elders den. Apprentices sleep inside on moss and whatever else they can find that's soft.
Warrior den
The Warriors den is also a collection of bushes, but much larger. Surrounding the den are many beautiful but surprisingly painful wild roses. They range from red to yellow, and bloom in Newleaf. It is situated between the Apprentice and Leader dens.
Leader den
The leader's den is located next to the Warrior den. It is up a sudden and unexplained slope, on top of which lies a large boulder and a mess of bushes and ferns. It is easy to defend, seeing as there is no way to get to it without climbing the short slope, and any cat on the slope is visible from the den and to the whole clan.

Hello!
I just came here to say that perhaps you should credit me for the rules? I've noticed you've copy pasted them from AetherClan and while i'm not offended by that or upset, stealing is very wrong. Others who are not me may react differently should you be caught stealing anything else so just be wary. All you had to do was ask if it was okay to use them. ]
