Maybe owls? Those are both predators of the forest and desert? They're huge and have talons?
Also hawks, falcons? Maybe just predatory birds in general?

Yeah, I had those originally but cut them because the list was getting long haha. I think Predatory Birds could be good to stick on the list. Of course, we could have them all on it to. Whatever you think looks best!

Lets list them like owls, then hawks/falcons together to save space ~
I'm starting to work on the about section, if you want to try and brainstorm some possible traditions?

Not a ton of ideas, but I hope at least one is decent??? I still suck royally at coming up with names haha
Most of them build off what we already have.
Monster Hunt: When a Private looking to become a Mercenary graduate from their apprenticeship they must go on a hunt. This hunt is done alone with Mercenaries and Medicine Cats on standby. To complete this task and become a full fledged Mercenary they must find and successfully kill the monster named by their Mentor. The difficulty of the monster will often decide the pecking order for the new Mercenary within the ranks.
Ivory Lapidary: When gems and stones from the Ivory Ruins are brought back to camp they must be bless by Starclan and turned into amulets. Lapidary is the process in which the cats form their amulets and bond with their animal patron. Once this is complete they will have the ability to access the animals powers and abilities. Privates will often put their own spin into their amulets so each one is different.
Hallowed Funeral: When a clan cat has died their remains must be buried within the confines of the Garden of Memories. Known as a Hallowed Funeral the cats remains are placed in a deep hole blessed by an Exorcist. It's said that cats improperly buried cannot be risen by Necromancers and will be unable to speak to the clan.
Herb Run: While not an official tradition, the Herb Run is done at the Upwalkers Den. Privates will often dare each other to climb the barbed wire and ivy-covered fence and return with herbs to prove their courage. It's not encouraged and is often banned, but what kind of Private looking to prove their worth would turn down the chance?
Name?: Every year a large group of wandering spectral cats will visit the camp. These cats cannot be spoken with and will often ignore the clan cats completely, even Necromancers are unable to commune with these dead. If they are respected, and with a bit of luck, it's said they will sometimes leave rare and unusual items found on their eternal journey. Occasionally you may catch a spirit looking at you. What this means for the cat has not been proven, but some think it's a sign of bad luck.
Some sort of competition could be fun as well. But with so many different jobs in the clan I couldn't think of one to include all the cats.

About
We are no ordinary clan. We are quite unusual actually and knows about topics most other cats dismiss as fantasy and myth. Not our clan, we know it's all real. Demons and monsters? They exist in our world and they are pure chaos and creatures of darkness. But that's why we train, that's why we hunt. We work and risk our necks so that the world is a safer place, at least in our little corner. We live by a code of honor that binds us together tighter than any demon could ever hope to unravel. Life for us isn't always rainbows and butterflies but we do what we have to in order to survive. Welcome to HallowedClan, keep your claws sharp but your wits sharper.
HallowedClan cats come from all walks of life, seeing as years ago they were two clans and some rogues, merging together to create one group. A great mixture of fur colors, lengths, and textures can be found here. It is rarer to see smaller built cats, as they don't often survive the rigorous training and hunting that take place. Most cats are muscular or agile with strong legs and long tails for good balance. Scars are extremely common in the clan and are worn as badges of honor and pride, even seen as a mark of beauty. It isn't rare to see a cat with a necklace, as warlocks wear amulets strapped with vines to show which animal spirit they are bound to.
Weapons:
- Silver Claws - these are caps that cats wear on their claws. Coated in blessed water. They are made by exorcists with their ability to shape metal.
- Blessed Water - water blessed by StarClan. This is carried in capsules that can be worn around a cats neck or is used as a coating. Exorcists and Medicine Cats can both produce blessed water.
- Silver Fangs - these are more rare, as they are harder to apply and more permanent. Made by exorcists.
- Abilities - this varies depending on the cat. Genetic or blessed.
- Iron Claws - useful against enemies that aren't effected by silver. Made by exorcist.

Hmmmm yeah, coming up with a Code might be difficult. We could have the same code, and instead of listing the whole thing just list changes made to it? Idk, I've always thought the code was long and might crowd the front page. If that makes sense?
I think the About looks nice ^^

I really love the traditions you came up with! Thank you so much!
The competition could be something within the battle ring? Like a fighting competition?
I think that could be cool! They could place bets on the winners and champions could get higher regard and a rise in mercenary ranking?

I definitely think we should have a strict rule on power scaling. Just to make sure no one is letting their character get overpowered.

Intro
There was something sharp in one of your paws but you didn't have time for that now. You had to keep going, even as your lungs screamed out for oxygen. Running was your only option. You didn't know what would happen if you stopped but something deep and instinctual within you whispered that death would follow soon after. The undergrowth was denser here, harder to navigate - especially in the dark. Even your superior feline eyesight couldn't seem to adjust to this amount of shadow or maybe you were just running on too much adrenaline.
A snap behind you sent a bolt of fear straight to your heart. Willing yourself to move faster, you ducked under a gooseberry bush, some stray spines catching onto your fur. Letting out a whimper full of both fear and pain, you try to extract yourself from the fruit bearing plant, desperate to be away from the... creature chasing you. The rustle of underbrush in front of you turned your blood to ice in your veins. Frozen in terror, your wide eyes locked on a cat-like thing. It padded towards you leisurely, as though it had all the time in the world. It's fur was as dark ginger but it's eyes... they were pitch black. As it grew closer you realized what you thought had been tall ears were actually short horns atop the beast's head.
Unable to move, you let out a loud scream. The creature merely smirked at you. "Found you, little rabbit," it purred, revealing itself to be feminine of nature - at least to your ears. Her inky eyes bore into you, sending shivers racing down your spine. Desperation drove you to struggle violently against the bush, claws flashing in the light as you dug into the ground. The spines dug into your skin and the smell of blood wafted into the air.
"How delicious you smell," the monster cooed, stepping closer to you while scenting the air. Crying out, you finally were able to tug yourself free of the gooseberry bush your eyes searched wildly for some sort of escape route.
"Now, no-" but before the thing could continue whatever it was about to say there was a flash from out of the bushes and a cat launched itself at the creature. The creature snarled and turned to meet it, wrestling the smaller feline to the ground.
"Hey, civilian, get moving. They'll take care of the demon," a voice from your left barked, startling you. With a gasp, your head whipped around to find another cat waiting impatiently in small opening in the thick brush you hadn't noticed before. They gave a sharp jerk of their head, clearly commanding you to follow them. Did they say demon? Unwilling to stay near the large horned creature, you rushed after the irritated feline.
"So you do have a brain? I'll take you back to camp so our medicine cats can look at your wounds, otherwise you'll attract even more trouble," the cat snorted, shaking their head before casting you a side glance. Your heart was still racing in your chest and your legs shook with every step but you forced yourself to continue on.
"Wha-What was th-that?" you demanded finally. The muscular feline leading the way paused, turning to cast you an analyzing glance before flashing a large, slightly terrifying grin.
"Just another day in paradise. Welcome to HallowedClan, kid."

That makes perfect sense to me!
I think we should also make one about characters, just so we don't have too many vampires or hybrids ~
Speaking of which, did we ever figure out hybrids?

Did you want me to throw together the rules? I can totally do so if you wish.
To number the characters I think we should limit the amount that can be in the clan. Like 5 vampires, 5 demons, etc. And after they are full we mark it as such.
Honestly, hybrids are somewhat self explanatory, but it might be smart to list the abilities and weaknesses each hybrid has?

I would greatly appreciate that! c:
That would make sense to me. Lets bump it up to 6 vampires and Maybe 10 hybrids(demon/angel mixed cats)?
That's more what I'm thinking. Let me try to write up a description and see what you think?
Also do you think the Intro is alright?

Hybrids: These are clan cats who have creature parents. These types of relationships are rare, so the offspring are also a rare commodity. There have been a few litters over the years. Depending on what they're mixed with, they can look differently and have different abilities. Angel hybrids normally have golden eyes which they inherit from their monster parent. They also have a few golden feathers on their shoulders, though they are not full blown wings. Ability wise they tend to be smooth-talkers, not quite to the degree of their Angel parent but similar. Demon hybrids are technically larger than the average cat, with a single horn on either side of their head and normally dark colored pelts. For abilities they're rather stronger than your average cat and their claws are much longer. Vampire hybrids are rare because it's hard for vampires to produce, since they have an extremely low fertility. Their hybrid offspring has one red eye and longer fangs than average. Their abilities are fairly weak, limited to advanced speed and stealth.
Maybe we should go less than 10 since I made them pretty rare? But maybe we should just make a condition where they have to be siblings and we can say there were three recent litters? (possibly?)

I think it sound good, but the demons being able to teleport may be a bit overpowered?? As for numbers, starting out with ten is good! If the clan gets popular we can add more. Should we limit the number of hybrids one person can have to one? Two if you are in a high position for the clan?
Also, just some basic rules! Numbers and stuff can be changed :3 I tried to keep them short, but if this is too short and can buff them up a bit.
Literacy -- Please avoid one-liners, make sure to give your partner enough to work with. You must use proper spelling, punctuation, and grammar.
Activity -- Please aim to be active at least twice a week. Four times if you are holding a high position withing the clan or an important position relating to a plot.
Powerplay -- No godmodding or controlling other peoples characters without explicit permission. Your character cannot dodge every attack or kill every monster. Please try and keep battles realistic.
Characters -- Your characters must come with flaws and weaknesses. Please try and keep the genders within the clan somewhat balanced as well. For new joiners you will be limited to three characters, but more will be allowed as you rp more. Designs can get a bit crazy, but nothing too wild. Please refer to the hybrid explanation for details when making one.
OOC vs In Character -- When out of character please indicate so with {}, [], () or anything else you may decide to use. When your character is speaking please use "" so as to avoid confusion.
Inclusivity -- LGBT+ characters are allowed! If that makes you uncomfortable, this clan is not for you.
Forums Rules are my rules!

I changed it to just strength and extra long claws. Limiting people to one hybrid per joiner makes sense, the same should definitely go for vampires too!
The rules look great, thanks!
Maybe make the rule four cats instead of three for new joiners, in case they want to keep their genders even?
Also, I think a rule should be added about family, like don't be afraid to make relationships with others, ask to make connections with others and such? Does that make sense?
