Introduction

Long ago, a large group of cats lived in bliss, greeting groups of twolegs each day to a quiet cat cafe in Japan. However, not all good things last. Especially not in the case of these cats. With a loud rumble, the Earth split open, the cats in that cafe either running away, or falling into the expanding ravine.
The cats formed a group, travelling for a long time together, enduring many, many hardships. They picked up strays rogues, loners, and kittypets along the way, everyone forming together to endure moons upon moons of tragedy and travel. Eventually, after climbing a jagged mountain, these cats came upon a lake in the dead of the night, a full moon shining down on the forest that surrounded it.
Overjoyed, the cats rushed down the mountain, scattering into a forest to hunt and finally fill their empty bellies. While gathering together in a ditch in the ground, eating and sharing tongues, a rustling was suddenly heard from the tunnel that lead to the ditch. Another group of much healthier cats came out of the tunnel, hissing and snarling as they saw the starved group of cats in their camp.
The rogue group explained their situation, but received no sympathy from the enemy cats, who turned out to belong to a group called "ThunderClan." This ThunderClan viciously attacked the rogue group, causing them to run away and injuring some so severely that they died. These cats ran away to a tunnel system of which they began to live in, and eventually expand.
The cats remained in hiding, making camp directly beneath the lake in the center of the forest, silently suffering for moons and moons, the clans eventually forgetting these cats after generations. However, the group did not forget the clans. And even after all these moons, they still swear to get revenge upon the ones who wronged them.

Ok, so that's all I've got for this clan right now, apart from a few side things.
So here's what I need help with!
-
*Coding for the page. Specifically, coming up with an idea of what it should look like. I know who to commission from. This should be thought about last, after everything else has been decided so we can have an accurate representation of what this clan is.
*A map for the territory. Again, coming up what it should look like. While we do have the map of the lake itself in the warriors books, we need a map for the tunnel system below it that the rogue group created. All I know is that there are tunnels beneath every clan, the camp is directly below the lake, and the initial tunnel between ThunderClan and WindClan hasn't changed. However, I want to have a specific tunnel path that DarkClan itself has created, with reason behind each tunnel. This can be created more early on.
*A code for DarkClan. They do not follow the traditional warrior code, but do still have rules from it. Their code should reflect their beliefs towards the clans, their behavior, their ranks, and anything else that should apply.
*Traditions. These traditions should reflect their hardships in the past.
- Their past. What did they go through? What did they lose? How long have they been in hiding, their emotions festering?
*Coming up with rules for the rp. Basic rules in every rp will still apply, but I would like to have some that apply to this clan specifically. I had one in mind but I forgot what it was.
*The setting. What are the tunnels like? What landmarks are there in them? What grows there? What is the camp like? What dangers are there that come with living in the tunnels, flooding aside? And how easy would it be for someone to intentionally start a flood?
*More will be added if necessary.

Some already created facts about DarkClan: (subject to change)
+After the sun sets at night, the spirits of DarkClan's previous generations come to walk around the tunnels, watching over the clan as they sleep. These spirits have followed DarkClan ever since the first cat from it died long ago after the earthquake. If a cat stays up past sunset, they may attempt to talk to these spirits. However, these spirits will usually evade an awake cat if there is one.
-If these spirits see a clan cat in the tunnels, they will use scares and tricks to chase them out. (ex. Using visual and auditory illusions, playing tricks on the invading cat(s), creating hallucinations, etc. Possession may be used under extreme circumstances, but isn't advised.)
-Spirits are extremely powerful, having become strong-willed and angry after moons of watching their living cats endure such suffering and mistreatment. They can do nearly anything, from giving a cat powers, to striking one dead with a bolt of lighting, or simply causing a small mushroom to grow. However, the stronger the effect of their power, the more it tires out a spirit. Using their powers too much could lead to their own demise, even. So even if these cats could end the entire world, they most likely won't.
+DarkClan cats have one rule in their code that stands out above all, this rule being: If a clan cat sees you, kill them immediately.
+DarkClan cats have forged spear-like weapons out of branches, using their claws to shape them so that they have a base you can carry in your mouth, and a point that you can jab through other cats. These branch-weapons must be sharpened by claw daily, so that they may never falter. Think of the stick Brambleclaw used to kill Hawkfrost. It's like that. These weapons are tied to a DarkClan cat's back with a piece of vine taken from the forest, and nobody ever goes anywhere without one.
+The rp takes place in a high-tension place in time. Many clan cats have winded up dead due to DarkClan's assassinations, and nobody in the clans knows why. Clans are beginning to accuse each other instead of looking for an outside force, and war is not very far from breaking out.
+DarkClan is named DarkClan for two reasons:
1: It's a reference to Lionpaw and Heatherpaw's made up clan from Power of Three.
2: DarkClan named themselves that for this reason: "We live in these tunnels, trapped within the dark underground. We hide here like panthers waiting to strike. And one day we will! But for now, we are hidden from sight. Hidden in the dark. And even when we come out of hiding to destroy the ones who wronged us, we will be a dark force against them. A dark force that will destroy them like they tried to destroy us. And for that reason, we shall be named DarkClan."

Anyways, if you would like to help out, please do! I'm very passionate about this project, and would love to see it come to life! And with summer vacation coming up soon, I'll have pretty much all the time in the world to work on it! Until school comes around again...
