✷ "Illuminateclan"
The Stars Light the Way
Once upon a time, there lived a clan. The clan was gifted with bountiful prey and clean water. Living in the sunny clearings of a bright forest, the cats never gave a single worry, for not even the snow of Leaf-bare could dampen what they had. Unfortunately, this was not to last, for one day strange creatures standing on two legs and with so little fur showed up. When they did, the prey disappeared, the water became undrinkable, and many of the clan were taken prisoner by them. The surviving cats were forced to flee to survive.
They travelled for a long time, trying to distance themselves from the disaster that became of their home. Lost and without hope, the cats started to fight each other and split apart. And even with all of this strife, they were not abandoned to die.
The very next night, every single cat, no matter the rank, had a dream. Their ancestors, the cats of the stars, had found them a new home, as long as they had faith. All they needed to do was follow the brightest star.
Regaining hope of survival, the cats found each other again, and together they followed their ancestors instructions, traveling during the night and sleeping during the day. Moons later, they found what they were looking for all this time.
They found a home.
And so, Illuminateclan came to be, and many, many moons into the future, you were born.

Rules
>> Forum Rules; This should be a no brainer. Just follow all forum rules. >> Activity; Please be active in this clan. If you are not going to be on for a while, let me know in advance. Besides that, after one month I will delete your characters. This goes mainly towards people role-playing important roles, such as the medicine cat or leader. >> Literacy; I expect good grammar and punctuation, no text talk. I also expect you to separate chat from role-play by logical means. Have at least three lines of role-play. >> Godmodding; No godmodding or powerplaying. Your character cannot be the spotlight for every plot, everyone has to be included. This also includes role-playing another's character. One must have permission from the role-player. Understand that if you let another role-play the character while you are gone, the character can be killed. All plots must be cleared with me first. >> Perfect Characters; These are not allowed. Make sure your character has flaws in personality and description. >> Names; Try to be unique. No two cats can have the same prefix and try to have different suffixes. >> Relationships; This role-play is meant to make all the characters know each other. You must make a kit when you join, but the kit cannot be related to your own characters. I ask that some of you make a queen until all queens are taken, as none of the kits should be without a mother. If a queen is open to a mate, feel free to make one. >> Romance; No pushing two characters together without permission from both role-players. No detailed mating or kitting, use skip when necessary. LGBT+ is allowed, except for trans characters, as a cat cannot get a gender change. >> Code; If you read the rules, put your favorite number in the Other section of the joining form. >> Kit-___; This is simply not allowed. >> Limits; You can have as many characters as you want, as long as you can handle all of them. If I notice that you are not role-playing some of your characters for a long while, I will notify you and we can talk about plots to lower your character limit. Otherwise I will consider them inactive and delete them. Gender ratio should be kept even as well. >> Respect; OOC, I expect no drama. Drama in role-play is okay and even recommended, however if I see any arguing outside of role-play I will give you a warning. >> The Clan; This is going to be a faster role-play. Every Sunday will be a new moon, with everyone aging up. If you join after a Wednesday, your cat will not be aging up unless related to someone who is. Certain plots may cause change to this rule. >> Questions; I know that there is a lot to read. If you have any questions, feel free to ask, I will answer you to the best of my ability. -✦-✧-✦-
About The CatsCats of Illuminateclan are nocturnal. They wake as night falls and sleep as day rises. Due to this, many cats have dark fur of grays, blacks, and browns, allowing them to blend into the night. They have thick fur, big ears, and are usually smaller sizes.
The cats of the clan are much more about speed, stealth, and agility then about strength, as bigger, stronger cats are more likely to scare away prey. Due to this, bigger cats are usually confined to the camp or sent on border patrols near dawn.
This Role-play is meant to make everyone's characters related. Too many role-plays have the cats interacting for the first time, only knowing the role-players other characters. Instead of doing that, I want the clan to grow with everyone together. In order to do this, the role-players have to join with one kit. The kit will not be related to any of the role-player's other characters, instead being related to one of the first four queens of the role-play and the other kits. All other characters will be filler characters until the kits grow up and take the positions. -✦-✧-✦-

✷ "Illuminateclan"
Territory
Illuminateclan is located in a thick forest underneath a cliff. Some locations include; >> The Sun Stone; This softly glowing stone is located inside a large, hollowed out log of an ancient fallen tree. Medicine Cats go here at sunrise to speak with Starclan. >> The Ring of Trees; A ring of tall ash trees. The grass is softer here, so this is where mentors take the apprentices to train. >> Jutting Stone; A stone that juts out of the cliff over the camp's entrance. This is used as a lookout post. >> Rabbit Holes; A collection of rabbit holes grouped together on one side of the territory. During Green-leaf, this can be used as a hunting ground for smaller cats that can fit into the holes. >> Abandoned Den; This old fox den marks the edge of the territory. Still within the territory, it must be checked every day by the border patrol. -✦-✧-✦-
Camp
Illuminateclan's camp is a cave deep within the woods, hidden inside a cliff by large stones. >> The Entrance; The entrance is straight between the two stones. Only one cat can enter at a time, allowing it to be easy to defend. This is also where the leader gives announcements. >> The Crevice; Along one wall is a crevice. The medicine cats store the herbs here, out of the reach of kits and young apprentices. >> Leader's den; The leader's den is located in the deepest, darkest part of the cave. >> Medicine Cat den; This den is located the closest to the crevice. It has two sections, the farthest being where the sick cats can sleep. >> Warrior den; The warriors' den is the closest cave to the entrance, along with it having the largest hole to move through. There are three sections to it, making it the biggest cave in camp. >> Apprentice den; A smaller, singular cave, it is the den next to the nursery, though closer to the entrance. >> Nursery; The nursery is a spacious cave with the flattest ground. While one single cave, it has a few nooks and crannies in the walls. >> Elder den; The elders' den is near the leader's. It has a larger amount of space, and most of the ground is covered in moss. -✦-✧-✦-

Night had fallen. As it did, the clan came to life, bustling with activity. Pouncefoot stretched, his claws flexing out as he did. Blinking he stood straight again, turning his attention to everyone that was also waking up. He padded over the the fresh kill pile, the scrawny warrior blinking amber eyes as he studied the pile, determining whether or not he should see if he could go hunting first or take some fresh kill to the queens.

With a cry of surprise, the smaller tom was knocked to the ground. Pinned by the heavy weight, Pouncefoot let out a little growl. Twisting, he tried using his smaller size and scrawnier build to get out from under his brother. Unable to do so, he turned his gaze back to his brother.
"Littleblaze!" He complained, twisting once more before battering his paws against the other warrior. Not one to give up, he got his legs under him and pushed up, hoping to cause the tom to tumble off.

It was times like these when Pouncefoot missed being the bigger tom. Still, in this clan being large was rare. "Too bad that you did," Pouncefoot replied with a smile. "Cause now I'm going to have to repay you for that." Both toms were quite serious about their duties as warriors, so any time that they started playing like this was welcomed. He crouched, eyes on the other tom. "Next time, I'll be the one knocking you onto the ground." He stood again. Shrugging playfully he spoke. "Though it really is too bad that you are acting like aa kit, as I would have asked you to come on patrol with me. Ah well." He looked at his brother, a smirk on his face and his tone teasing.

"Oh? You do? I would never have guessed," Pouncefoot replied, grinning before dropping back to business-like seriousness. "Since it's still early, the border probably hasn't been patrolled yet. Do you want to join me in checking the abandoned den?" Every day it had to be checked to make sure a fox or badger, or even a cat, hadn't moved in. "Of course, if you think that's too boring, I'll just leave you to wait at the Jutting Stone as lookout."
