You were by a beautiful beach one day enjoying the sand and sun, all was calm and peaceful. but then you see the shadow of a wave above you. The wave threatening to take you away. You don't even remember what it felt like when it pulled you into the water, you just remember everything going dark...the sound of cats speaking awakes you. You slowly blink the sand out of your eyes and find yourself by a completely different beach. This one is rocky and has cliffs that cast a shadow over you. When you come to full consciousness you find yourself surrounded by at least six cats. An Abyssinian tom with sandy colored paws stepped forward from the half circle, "I see you have awoken from your slumber. I am Sandfoot, Raja of OceanClan." You look up at this...what did he say, Raja? These cats appear to be kind but still intimidating You are nervous but still greatly intrigued. "Come, join our ranks in OceanClan. You won't be disappointed." You follow the Raja to the cliffs, wondering, who are these cats?
The main island OceanClan inhabits is vast and filled with jungle like forests and mountains. However, this Clan tends to stay by the ocean, as it is safer from wild animals such as wild pigs. The western most part of their territory is where the camp is located. The territory extends north and stops at the foot of the mountains and from there, east toward the lower elevation forests. The south is similar to the east. Important land marks include Jewel Falls, which is in the middle of their territory and the location where all rituals performed by the Shaman or Medicine Cat are preformed. Skyrock is located on the top of the cliffs where the Clan's camp is located to the west. There, the Warrior General makes an apprentice a warrior and the Ina and Binti are given mates. There are sacred forests dotting the land that are forbidden to hunt prey in as well.
The Clan camp is located on the western most edge of their territory and is in the cliffside by the ocean. The dens are made of caves of various sizes. The topmost is the Raja's and his family (until the Ina and Binti are made warriors and move into the warriors den) below his is the Shaman/Medicine Cat den. To the right of the Shaman/Medicine Cat den is the Tua's den, to the left is the Reny's den and below that is the Apprentice's den and below that is the Warrior's den. There are two-leg made pathways that connect each of their dens, they were once told to have stored pots and jars by ancient twolegs. The fresh-kill pile is by Skyrock, but in bad weather it is stored in the Medicine Den.
OceanClan is a very religiously devoted Clan, only acting out when they have had a sign from their gods. They are brave in battle but show mercy to all cats, in or outside their code. The only time they deem necessary to kill is for self-defense or to defend others who can not defend themselves. OceanClan loves the water and will play by or in the ocean or by the rivers and lakes on other areas within their territory. This Clan may come off as intimidating at first but they are very kind hearted and wouldn't imagine hurting others. OceanClan is also a very secluded Clan, letting few outsiders in, and keeping close to the shadows as to not be seen.
Many seasons ago, the Ancient OceanClan struggled to keep together, constantly abandoning each other to go back to their twolegs, letting the group fall apart without proper guidance. One cat named Raja, was tired of his partners repeatedly ditching him, so he devised a plan to bring them back. He snuck outside of his kittypet home one night and tore up all the plants in the yard next door. The owner who lived in that house was furious and exiled their pet, with no where else to go, they had to reevaluate their loyalties to Raja and the few who were still in OceanClan. Raja continued to do this for many moons, frequently severing the bonds that his Clanmates had with the twolegs. Raja was considered intimidating by the ones who left him and were forced to come back, and Raja made sure to keep a close eye on them as they served him. One of the kittypets that were abandoned by their owners became Raja's mate. Together they had a son, who Raja deemed would be the next ruler after he passed away. The name Raja soon became the rank for the leader of the tribe after his time. This legend has been passed down to OceanClan's kittens for hundreds of moons, altering some thing with each telling.
OceanClan believes in four gods to represent each virtue of Clan life. Each one takes the name of an ocean dwelling creature
Eel - god of war - He gives the Clan courage to face enemies and come closer in the time of need. His ritual is preformed after a successful battle
Crab - god of wisdom - He gives them the wisdom by showing the Clan better strategies after losing a battle or just bad times in general. His ritual is preformed on the days that the Clan feels they need reassurance
Whale - goddess of devotion - She shows the Clan to be devoted to their faith and to each other, especially their kin. Her ritual is preformed a quarter moon before a rent has their kittens to prepare them for motherhood.
Gull - goddess of mercy - She shows the Clan that since they have kept strong through all the storms and wars of their life, physically and emotionally, that the ocean has given them mercy. Therefore, they must show that same mercy toward others as a reminder that you do not kill, even your most hated enemies. Her ritual is preformed in the middle of an apprentice's training to show them the values of sparing enemies, catching prey, and having compassion for their Clan.

Raja - The Raja acts as king or leader in the Clan and makes all executive decisions. the Clan's Warrior General, Tuas, and shaman/Medicine Cat serve as his advisors. It is yet unheard of and frowned upon when mentioned, for a she-cat to serve as Raja. The Raja chooses his firstborn son as his heir and trains him in the ways of leadership.
Kaiyou - The Kaiyou serves as a queen and the matriarch of OceanClan. She is therefore head of the nursery, warrior apprentice training, and care of first time queens.
Ina - Ina is the term used for the son(s) of the Raja. Only the firstborn holds onto the title until he becomes the next Raja under the mentoring of hi father, while the other sons lose this title the moment they receive their warrior names. The firstborn Ina is the only son to have an arranged mate by the Raja. The other sons are trained as normal warrior apprentices unless the Medicine Can/Shaman has a sign to apprentice one of them
Binti - the Binit are the daughter(s) of the Raja and hold onto this title until they have received a mate. The Kaiyou arranges the mate for her daughters. They are trained as normal warriors unless the Medicine Cat/Shaman has a sign to apprentice one of them.
Medicine Cat/Shaman - These cats serve as spiritual leaders of the Clan as they interpret omens, make offerings, send prayers, and lead the Clan in sacred rituals. They also heal the sick and injured with the native plants around their territory. The toms that do this are called Shamans, while she-cats are Medicine Cats. They are allowed to take mate, but not allowed to have kits
Medicine Cat/Shaman apprentice - A Medicine Cat/Shaman apprentice is chosen through messages sent by the gods to the current Medicine Cat/Shaman. They are apprenticed for two moons longer than warrior apprentices to fully master their training. Their duties are to memorize all of the necessary herbs growing around this territory along with their healing uses, gather supplies needed for rituals, train to interpret signs and omens, and tend to the Tuas and Reny.
Warrior General - The most experienced and most intelligent of warriors who share the same duties as a normal warrior, but lead their patrols and organize skill sessions to freshen up their skills. They have the special role of giving the apprentices their warrior names
Warrior - Adult Clan cats who are charged with the responsibilities of providing defense and security, keeping the fresh-kill pile stocked, serving in battle, and mentoring the next generation of warriors. Warriors typically retire around 100 to 130 moons to become Tuas
Apprentice - Young cats from five to twelve moons old who work hard training to become a warrior under the guidance of their mentor. They are responsible for keeping up with their training, tending to the Tuas, keeping the fresh-kill pile stocked, and doing chores around the camp. An apprentice is finished with their training when the Warrior General sees fit
Reny - A female warrior who has temporarily given up her duties to expect, then nurse a litter of kittens. First time Reny are cared for by the Kaiyou, especially during the kitten's first two moons. Prey is delivered to them by apprentices and warriors to make sure they can provide enough milk for their kittens. Once their litter becomes apprentices, the Reny can now move back into their position as a warrior.
Tua - A retired Clan cat of any rank (except for Raja and Kaiyou) who has lived long enough to be relieved of their duties. They are regarded as very wise and respected cats among OceanClan, as well as consultants for the Raja. A Tua's role is to remove the dead cats from camp for burial and to pass on their experiences to young kittens and apprentices of the Clan
Kaiyou - The Kaiyou serves as a queen and the matriarch of OceanClan. She is therefore head of the nursery, warrior apprentice training, and care of first time queens.
Ina - Ina is the term used for the son(s) of the Raja.

Every Friday your cat will age one moon. The list below shows at which age your cat will switch ranks:
Kits become apprentices at 5 moons
Apprentices usually become warriors anywhere from 11 to 13 moons.
A warrior becomes a senior warrior at 60 moons
A senior warrior becomes a Tua at 100 moons
The pregnancy period for a Reny is 2 moons
The Binti receive their arranged mate at 28 moons
The first-born Ina receive his arranged mate at 30 moons
I will roll an online die for the following scenarios:
How many kits your Reny will give birth to. A she-cat in real life could give birth to up to 8 kittens, but we'll just use the max number of spots on the die instead which would be 6
The possibility of your kit's survival during which season they were born in. In greenleaf they have a 90% possibility of survival with a 1-5 being rolled means they will live. In new-leaf and leaf-fall they have a 70% chance of surviving with a 1-4 meaning survival. In Leafbare they have only a 50% chance of survival with a 1-3 meaning survival. The die will be rolled by me or ivorysprinkles for each kit.
Who wins in a fight if the two RPers can not decide which of the cats will win
