Save for the first official o-five Clans layouts. While some ideas are being used by other members, I ask that you not copy exactly what I'm doing or take too much inspiration from it. I also ask you kindly not post because all of the layouts will be on this page. :3 Thank you!ThunderClan - ShadowClan - SkyClan - WindClan

ThunderClan is a mainly peaceful Clan, and respectful of the other Clans as well. In battle, ThunderClan is fierce, courageous, and loyal. They normally take loners and kittypets into their Clan to either swell their ranks or because the cat is in need of help or shelter. For this, they are at times looked down upon by other Clans and thought of as weak. The Clan's main prey are mice, voles, squirrels, and the occasional rabbit, as well as birds such as starlings, magpies, wood pigeons, blackbirds, and thrushes. They have excellent stalking techniques, creeping across the forest floor. They have the sense to keep upwind of their prey in the thick bushes. ThunderClan cats are noted to be especially strong. They are the only Clan to bunch their hindquarters before leaping to catch their prey.

ThunderClan claims the southeastern part of the region, their territory consisting of deciduous woodland. Their camp is in a sandy ravine that used to be a riverbed long time ago, surrounded by brambles. Landmarks in the ThunderClan territory: { ฯ } Camp - It lies at the foot of a sandy ravine, protected by thornbushes. The camp is easy to defend and hard to attack. { ฯ } Tallpines and Treecut Place - Pines near Twolegplace. Usually filled with Twoleg tree-eaters, the ground there rumbles and leaves deep gullies filled with muddy water. { ฯ } The Great Sycamore - One of the largest trees with strong and thick branches. { ฯ } The Owl Tree - A tree that serves home to a tawny owl. { ฯ } Sunningrocks - Rocks that absorb the sunshine and are a place of relaxation. Moons ago, it used to be an island belonging only to RiverClan, but when the river changed current, ThunderClan wanted this territory, too. { ฯ } The Sandy Hollow - A training hollow with soft sand so apprentices don't hurt themselves. The camp entrance is well hidden by brambles, which protect the camp from predators, but doesn't stop sunshine from coming in. A ravine leads through it. This ravine was once a river, but it is now dried up. The way into the camp is through the gorse tunnel. The nursery has thick bramble walls and is the most guarded part of the camp. Behind a tree stump, there is a clump of ferns where the apprentices sleep. Warriors sleep under a bush in another tunnel. Inside the camp, there is a fallen tree where the elders sleep, and the senior warriors sleep in the center of the camp. Across the clearing, a smooth tall rock resides. This is called the Highrock, and the leader stands there to make important speeches. The leader's den is in a cave in the rock which was carved out by an ancient stream. Lichen covers the entrance. The last notable feature in the camp is a fern tunnel that leads to a crack in a rock. This is the medicine cat's den. ThunderClan is filled with wild creatures that either feed or threaten them. Below is a list of animals widely known to be in the Clan's territory as of right now. Some are more common than others! { Prey } { ฯ } Squirrels[Uncommon] { ฯ } Robins, Thrushes, Sparrows, & Blackbirds [Common] { ฯ } Rabbits & Hares [Uncommon] { Predators & Enemies } { ฯ } Badgers [Uncommon] { ฯ } Hawks, Owls, Falcons, & Eagles [Common] { ฯ } Dogs & Twolegs [Rare] { Other Animals } { ฯ } Weasels [Uncommon]

In General Well, we all know forum and ghost rules still apply here, so that is that. Mainly, this rule is a quick rundown of things and some will be expanded upon more in other rules. Just a warning, it is a long list so be prepared to read all of this if you want to join this role-play. We did not type this all out for people to ignore what we say and just do what they want. It is our role-play, we created it, you must abide by our rules or join something else. Stealing is a big no-no. Do not steal or take too much inspiration from this. Ask us if you want to use an idea we came up with, coding, graphic ideas, or anything from this page. Activity There are plenty of rules people dread. Activity and literacy are the ones that come to mind of those people hate most. Oh well, to us, they are indeed necessary. We will get to literacy later, right now, we will focus on activity! Being active and committed are two important key factors to a role-playโs success. There is a difference between the two and they obviously work best together. Before you join our role-play, ask yourself if you may be active enough and if you can commit. Now, we will not be angry if later down the road you leave the role-play or something big happens. However, if you are contemplating whether or not you will leave the forums, sorry, but we kindly ask you not join. Sure, you can be active on here, but if you are not aiming to stay and possibly climb up the ranks of the moderator hierarchy, then once again, this is not for you. We do understand that to create a long-lasting role-play happens, but setting up the roadblocks to potentially make it does a lot. Now to get onto the stuff we all know and love: activity requirements. For those who are trusted members and above, you will need to be on five days of the week. If you are not on for three days, we will have a warning mark and like your post to bring you back. The fourth day you are gone, we will simply delete you. Regular members and new members, you have four days that you need to be on each week. You will follow the same as the trusted members and higher with four days, and then five. To be considered โactive,โ you must actually role-play and not just chat. Upon deletion, you will receive a private message stating why and what we could potentially do for if you come back if you can. Role-play & Literacy The whole advanced role-play thing is quite debatable, but with our past role-plays, we have introduced a new way to be โadvancedโ but to where you can relax a little bit. We only ask that you try to have proper grammar, correct spelling, and decent detail. Effort counts and we can see when it is put in. Unlike WCF, paragraphs appear much shorter and we are well aware of that, so do not worry too much about length, however, no shorter than three sentences. There is also a debate with detail. If you can paint a scene to where we can see it in my head, you have done a good job. However, this is not Lord of the Rings and we do not need to know the exact details of a treeโs bark or the backstory of every thought your character has. When it gets to that, it would be considered โfluff.โ With that side of the debate, we agree it is pretty useless. So, please be descriptive, but not to where we have to read ten paragraphs to get the point of your response or starter. The role-play will follow GMT, we will have a timezone chart on the discussion page. This is to help keep things organized. Leaders and head moderators will be responsible for keeping track of time and moving the role-play along. Due to time being tracked with each post, we kindly ask you head your posts. At the top, have the name of your character and the landmark they are closest to. Obviously, please also include the time of day. If you do have special coding, please make sure the colors, text size, and everything else is easy to read. If not, we will kindly ask you not to use it or to edit it so we can read it. Role-playing & Realism Seeing impossible things happen when there can be no real reason for them to happen other than favoritism in the books or just because you want to look cool will not fly here. So please refrain from having your cat fight and kill a badger on their own. Instead of having your cats "smile" or "cry," just expressing that emotion in other ways. Cats can not have powers, they can not fight a pack of dogs without getting injured or by themselves. In the Warriors universe, there are certain things that can and can not happen, so please abide by those rules and our rules. Now, general role-play rules play along with realism. It is too coincidental when your character gets all of the spotlight, so please do not do that. There will be moments when your characterโs plot or spot in the limelight will take front and center. God-modding and meta-gaming are a no go for us, so do not even think about it. Please keep in mind that cats do die. We're not asking for you to slaughter them all, but if we have a greencough outbreak, not everyone is bound to survive it. At the same time, please do not go on a killing spree with your cats. Role-playing & Plots With each side plot comes a designated date they can happen depending on who is involved. We will have a calendar for when certain plot points and events will happen and they will be posted in the news section. All side plots need to be approved by an admin or a head moderator. This includes fox attacks on the camp or a badger attack. Kitting needs to be set on a certain date so no one can interfere with that. Keep in mind that there is a system of what takes priority for plots. Main plot events will be priority over everything. Side plots that were decided on a week in advance will follow, then small plots that do not need to be approved. Please ask us before doing it if you are not sure about a certain plot needing approval. We will not be angry. We apologize to kit-stealers, but due to this being the original five Clans, we will not allow outside kit-stealing. It probably will happen at some point in this role-play, but between the five Clans. As for warrior ceremonies, we will accept name requests, but the current leaders will give them their name. This is to stimulate the books a little, however we may name them the name you ask for. Role-playing Rank & Continuity Changes If you were to break the rules and lose your position, we will come up with a reason for your character to step down or something like so. This is not to humiliate you, but to keep the role-play from "jumping" and to keep it smooth. If you were deleted and rejoined, we will simply say that your cats were sick. If you are deleted for the third time, we will announce your cats dead under different names. If you do not like this, well, we are not mentioning your cats, so you can not really get mad. If this does happen, admins or mods will offer throwaway cats for this. Just because you did not follow our rules does not mean our role-play needs to be messed up with continuity issues. Characters & Joining Before you rattle off a bunch of cats that you are joining with, keep reading to learn of the restrictions. Some names will not be accepted. Mostly due to it not making the most sense in our role-play or in the Warriors universe altogether. Make sure you have back-up names in case we ask for that name to be changed. Also make sure th check the prefix list. We will not accept any cats with the prefixes on any list, as they are already used or will be used fairly soon in each Clan. To be a little clearer about this, we will accept a Bluewhisker in one Clan and a Bluepaw in another, but not a Bluekit in either of those Clans. Keep pelt designs realistic. You do not have to be exact with genetics, but two gray cats can not produce a ginger cat. Mutations are alright to have, but we will only allow a handful. For every three kits in every three litters, one cat with a mutation can be born. Know that if you join with an apprentice, you must create a warrior. We would prefer more warriors over apprentices, as there is no set limit unlike apprentices. We will not allow orphan kits. We are alright with a permanent queen, but their kits must be apprentice aged or older unless you have found a mate for your cat. We may allow pregnant queens, but here is the deal. That cat will not be considered pregnant unless you found someone who is willing to be the father and the two are compatible or at least have a interesting relationship. If you both agree on it, we will put that the two are mates and you may have your cat find out she is pregnant. You have a week to do this and if someone says no, it means no. You can not pressure someone or constantly mention it to the point it is annoying. For those who feel uncomfortable towards LBGTQ+ topics, characters, and forum members, we ask you kindly not to join. We will be open to those characters, members, and we are sure the topic will come up in the role-play. The character limit for joining at the moment is eight characters per person per Clan. You can split these characters up however you want. Each person gets four prefix saves. Also keep genders somewhat even. Ranks So, want to be deputy? Well, you have to be chosen by the admin to get it. Please, please do not apply to be deputy or annoy one of the admins and others with hints in your posts. It is fine if it is a kit, apprentice, or a warrior who is too young to be one. Deputy is a rank in the Clan that is to be earned. We may and probably will take a while on deciding the first deputy. Medicine cats are different. If there is a position for medicine cat open, then you may take it, but you do need to follow the rules for trusted members and higher. Same with deputy, really. Medicine cat apprentices will not be allowed at first, as we want them to be role-played into getting the rank. Trusted members will be chosen by the admin of that Clan, as well as mods. They will be people who have been on the most and we feel like we can trust. They also have the first dibs on possibly recreating this role-play if something were to happen. Mentors are a privilege. While everyone should get an apprentice sooner or later, we will not hesitate to take that away. Courtesy In general, be courteous and respectful to everyone. Keep opinions that can cause wars to yourselves. If you have an issue with someone, take it somewhere else and please for the love of all that is good keep this role-play out of your posts! We do not want negativity linked with this role-play or role-plays somehow linked to this. We expect everyone to be polite and have manners on my role-play. If you go somewhere else and name this role-play because you have an issue with another member stealing your lollipop, we will not be happy. So refrain from that. Be cautious of your words, as they can potentially hurt someone. The saying, "grow a thicker skin," will not always be allowed here. Some things, yes, but more sensitive topics, we ask you be picky with your words. If you have a serious topic that you want to discuss, or even a plot that could "trigger" someone, give a warning first or private message the person you wish to talk to. Luckily, this forum provides a link to some hotlines to help with some things. Consequences This role-play has two systems that determine whether or not you are deleted. One is a universal system and the other is an extra precaution for mods and higher so they do their job. The universal system is called the Star System. It's quite easy. When you receive a star, it means you have done something that has broken our rules. The first star comes with a verbal warning. The second star allows me to delay side plots and take away apprentices. The third star cancels any side plots you have until you have gone back to the second star. Unfortunately, that could have an impact on another person, and cause some more issues, so please do not get this far. The fourth star takes you out of any plots and if you are in a high position, you are demoted. Meaning if you are deputy, you are now a warrior. If you are a mod, you are down to a trusted member. The fifth and final star means you will be deleted in two days if you do not shape up. Depending on the severity of your actions, like you fighting with someone and getting the page deleted, it may have you skip a star or two. You do have a chance to go back down the system after a week's time if you improve. The second system is a strike system. If any negative actions occur and a mod does not reprimand the person at fault, then they receive a strike for not doing their duty. Three strikes equal a star, so be cautious. ~Sandclaw~ created the graphics with stock images. The introduction was written by ~Sandclaw~. The rules were written by Rainleaf as well as the coding being done by her. The image in the coding is owned by Rainleaf. The history, characteristics, and territory are from the Wiki.

While making your cats, feel free to ask if there are any open relations that you may place your cat in. You do not have to join any families, however. She-cats are italicized. An asterisk marks that a cat is deceased. SkyClan is in #8DCF8A. RiverClan is in #B7E2B5. WindClan is in #DEF2DD. SkyClan is in #011200. Mates, Crushes, & Friendships Blankfur & Blahpelt are mates. Blankclaw and Merpface are kithood friends. Kin Merpface + Derpflower* = Herpwatcher, Open, Open Mentors & Apprentices Blank mentors Blank Plots for ThunderClan will be placed up here. Small summaries will be written by the person who created the plot. Key characters will also be listed below the plot. Before you post fan art of your characters or scenes, please make sure you have permission by the artist and give them credit. Crediting does not always mean you have permission. There will be lineart provided by Rainleaf, so you are welcome to use that for this role-play only. I will not allow cat generator pictures, even if credit is given.

} post xii || allegiances: starclan, place of no stars It was a quiet morning, typical in the average day of Shadowclan. Sunlight trickled its way through the pine trees, casting its rays of warmth through the areas below. Towards the back, a large oak tree loomed over the camp. Upon the roots sat two toms, both of similar appearances with their amber and copper eyes piercing through the shadows. The exceptions were that the one with copper eyes had a black pelt whereas the one with amber eyes had a smokey gray pelt. Otherwise they portrayed quite similar looks to be identified as brothers. Both toms were in the midst of a conversation. Perhaps a sincere one considering their tones were hushed and their head close together. Whatever conversation they were having was cut short, as the sounds of voices approaching was getting particularly loud. The brothers turned their heads in unison over towards the bramble entrance. Through the small path emerged three cats: two she-cats and a tom. The two she-cats seemed to be supporting the tom, whom appeared to be limping awkwardly. The black furred tom rose and leaped from his spot on the oak's roots, swiftly making his way towards the group whereas his brother stayed behind. "I told you that you should have no chased after that bird. Danger lurked around where it was." "Oh shut it you old loon! Like you would have ever known this would happen." "Sparrowtuft! Don't be so rude to Shadeblossom! It's your own fault anyways that you weren't paying attention to anything in the first place." "Oh I see, so it's entirely my fault thatโ" The argument was cut short from the lash of the black tom's long tail. "Enough. You guys are squabbling like a bunch of crows." He meowed flatly, casting his gaze at the three cats. "Sorry 'bout that Eveningstar..." The tom mumbled, still a bit indignant from the little bicker with the two she-cats. Eveningstar Eveningstar gave a curt nod and turned his attention to the silver tabby she-cat. "Orchidfrost, please explain what on earth happened to him." He meowed, sounding slightly exasperated. It was almost as if this wasn't the first time an occurrence like this happened. "Well we were out on our hunting patrol not too far off from Thunderpath," she explained. "Sparrowtuft had found a crow and went after it. When he went to chase it, he stepped on a sharp piece of glass. Shadeblossom and I went to go help him to return him back to him." When she was finished, Eveningstar went quiet for a moment. He finally replied, "Take him in so he doesn't end up getting an infection." The tom then turned and padded off, leaving it at that. The two she-cats took the injured tom over to the medicine cat's den. Eveningstar Eveningstar bounded over towards a boulder on the edge of the clearing. Once on top of it, he made his call. "Cats of Shadowclan, please gather!" He yowled, his voice ringing clearly throughout the camp. Cats made their way out of the shadows, some already settled in having been in the area. A few were already passing concerned glances and mumbled conversations, having had seen one of the warriors escorted to the medicine cat's den. Others were keen to see what the leader had to say. "I have an announcement to make. Or rather, a reminder of sorts," Eveningstar began, scanning the crowd of cats below him. "It has come to my attention that there have been a few cats in the past while that have sustained injuries from broken shards of glass. I would like to advise any cats that happen to be by the Thunderpath to keep their distance from there area. I do not want any of my Clanmates getting any more injuries like these. That is all." With that the slender black tom briskly leaped off the boulder, leaving the cats to their own manners. Most went off to resume their duties while a few others lingered to chat among each other a bit longer.
The Shadowclan leader made his way back over to the roots that made up his den. His brother was there waiting for him, the smokey gray tom already seated on one of the roots. "Hey Smokeyhorizon." he greeted, as he stepped up on the root and sat himself next to his brother. He then rested his head on his paws and gave a sigh, mulling over his thoughts. "That's the third idiot that got glass stuck in their paws." Smokeyhorizon commented gruffly, lashing his tail. "I know, I can count you furball." Eveningstar huffed, half amused. He pushed himself up to a sitting position, his amber gaze drifting over to the medicine cat's den where Sparrowtuft was taken. "I know... It's just that, something like this never happened so frequently," he meowed aloud, speaking his thoughts to his littermate. "I mean yes we've had those rare instances where it would happen; twolegs throw their junk beside Thunderpath from time to time. But, it seems to be happening more and more. I can't help feel this may become a problem. Or... perhaps I'm just worrying too much...?" Silence loomed over the two brothers, leaving them to their own thoughts for the meanwhile. After a bit, the spell finally broke when Smokeyhorizon gave his brother a small nudge. "You're just overthinking things Eveningstar. A lot of things happened over the past few moons. Trust me, I... understand you too..." The smokey gray tom drifted off, his tone catching slightly off edge for a moment, recollecting what appeared to seem a dismal memory. He blinked a few times, snapping back to reality. He gave a quick cough and continued. "Um, yes. Twolegs always leave their junk laying around, so there are just some times it happens more frequently. Don't stress out about it." He meowed, sounding genuine for once. Eveningstar turned his head to his brother, slightly taken aback. This was probably one of the rare occasions where he sounded this sincere. "Thanks, I needed that." He meowed, giving half a smile. The tom then averted his gaze to the sky and gave a sigh. Perhaps I am thinking about this too deeply, he thought. Though, I still just can't help have this feeling... That the future of Shadowclan is going to be grim.

They have always seemed to be the "darker" Clan, with fierce, more disagreeable warriors. This dark reputation has been earned over the years by an unfortunate run of corrupted leaders, twisted minds, and bitter plots. They are proud, loyal, defensive, and slightly arrogant; often seem to be misunderstood and portrayed by the other Clans as battle-hungry, aggressive, ambitious, and greedy for more territory. It was often said when the Clans were in the forest, that the cold north wind of the mountains chilled the ShadowClan warriors' hearts. However, as Rock states in Cats of the Clans, ShadowClan have the smallest amount of territory and prey, which may justify their readiness to add anything to the fresh-kill pile. Even though their fierce warriors and hostile leaders earned ShadowClan its reputation, the leader Dawnstar led Firestar to believe ShadowClan were not always as unfair and cruel as they seem now. Their main prey are reptiles and amphibians, such as lizards and frogs. A secret food source is the carrionplace, though they are careful not to eat crow-food. ShadowClan cats hunt best at night, and are better than others at sneaking through undergrowth.

ShadowClan's territory is located in an area that Twolegs have no specific name for. Landmarks in this territory include: { โ
} Camp - A dark, well-concealed hollow hidden deep in shadows. It is surrounded by prickly and fierce brambles. { โ
} Carrionplace - An evil place where rats and diseases lurk. { โ

} Burnt Sycamore - An ancient tree struck by lightning moons ago. Apprentices are trained here to hunt at night and stalk through undergrowth. The forest is quite different on ShadowClan's side of the Thunderpath. Instead of thick trees, there're more pine needles. The camp is protected by brambles, and the entrance is through a tiny path. There is hardly any grass, but the ground is muddy and cool. The leader's den is beneath the roots of a big oak tree. The warriors' den is under a bramble bush. The den looks prickly on the outside, but on the inside, it's lined with pine needles and moss. There is a smooth boulder at the edge of the clearing, which serves as a higher place for the leader to address the camp. Propped up next to this large rock is another rock, and it creates a sheltered cave underneath. It is the medicine cat's den. Sick cats can rest in the ferns surrounding the boulder. There is another hollow shielded by a thorn bush. This is the nursery, and the thorn bush is protection. ShadowClan is filled with wild creatures that either feed or threaten them.

In General Well, we all know forum and ghost rules still apply here, so that is that. Mainly, this rule is a quick rundown of things and some will be expanded upon more in other rules. Just a warning, it is a long list so be prepared to read all of this if you want to join this role-play. We did not type this all out for people to ignore what we say and just do what they want. It is our role-play, we created it, you must abide by our rules or join something else. Stealing is a big no-no. Do not steal or take too much inspiration from this. Ask us if you want to use an idea we came up with, coding, graphic ideas, or anything from this page. Activity There are plenty of rules people dread. Activity and literacy are the ones that come to mind of those people hate most. Oh well, to us, they are indeed necessary. We will get to literacy later, right now, we will focus on activity! Being active and committed are two important key factors to a role-playโs success. There is a difference between the two and they obviously work best together. Before you join our role-play, ask yourself if you may be active enough and if you can commit. Now, we will not be angry if later down the road you leave the role-play or something big happens. However, if you are contemplating whether or not you will leave the forums, sorry, but we kindly ask you not join. Sure, you can be active on here, but if you are not aiming to stay and possibly climb up the ranks of the moderator hierarchy, then once again, this is not for you. We do understand that to create a long-lasting role-play happens, but setting up the roadblocks to potentially make it does a lot. Now to get onto the stuff we all know and love: activity requirements. For those who are trusted members and above, you will need to be on five days of the week. If you are not on for three days, we will have a warning mark and like your post to bring you back. The fourth day you are gone, we will simply delete you. Regular members and new members, you have four days that you need to be on each week. You will follow the same as the trusted members and higher with four days, and then five. To be considered โactive,โ you must actually role-play and not just chat. Upon deletion, you will receive a private message stating why and what we could potentially do for if you come back if you can. Role-play & Literacy The whole advanced role-play thing is quite debatable, but with our past role-plays, we have introduced a new way to be โadvancedโ but to where you can relax a little bit. We only ask that you try to have proper grammar, correct spelling, and decent detail. Effort counts and we can see when it is put in. Unlike WCF, paragraphs appear much shorter and we are well aware of that, so do not worry too much about length, however, no shorter than three sentences. There is also a debate with detail. If you can paint a scene to where we can see it in my head, you have done a good job. However, this is not Lord of the Rings and we do not need to know the exact details of a treeโs bark or the backstory of every thought your character has. When it gets to that, it would be considered โfluff.โ With that side of the debate, we agree it is pretty useless. So, please be descriptive, but not to where we have to read ten paragraphs to get the point of your response or starter. The role-play will follow GMT, we will have a timezone chart on the discussion page. This is to help keep things organized. Leaders and head moderators will be responsible for keeping track of time and moving the role-play along. Due to time being tracked with each post, we kindly ask you head your posts. At the top, have the name of your character and the landmark they are closest to. Obviously, please also include the time of day. If you do have special coding, please make sure the colors, text size, and everything else is easy to read. If not, we will kindly ask you not to use it or to edit it so we can read it. Role-playing & Realism Seeing impossible things happen when there can be no real reason for them to happen other than favoritism in the books or just because you want to look cool will not fly here. So please refrain from having your cat fight and kill a badger on their own. Instead of having your cats "smile" or "cry," just expressing that emotion in other ways. Cats can not have powers, they can not fight a pack of dogs without getting injured or by themselves. In the Warriors universe, there are certain things that can and can not happen, so please abide by those rules and our rules. Now, general role-play rules play along with realism. It is too coincidental when your character gets all of the spotlight, so please do not do that. There will be moments when your characterโs plot or spot in the limelight will take front and center. God-modding and meta-gaming are a no go for us, so do not even think about it. Please keep in mind that cats do die. We're not asking for you to slaughter them all, but if we have a greencough outbreak, not everyone is bound to survive it. At the same time, please do not go on a killing spree with your cats. Role-playing & Plots With each side plot comes a designated date they can happen depending on who is involved. We will have a calendar for when certain plot points and events will happen and they will be posted in the news section. All side plots need to be approved by an admin or a head moderator. This includes fox attacks on the camp or a badger attack. Kitting needs to be set on a certain date so no one can interfere with that. Keep in mind that there is a system of what takes priority for plots. Main plot events will be priority over everything. Side plots that were decided on a week in advance will follow, then small plots that do not need to be approved. Please ask us before doing it if you are not sure about a certain plot needing approval. We will not be angry. We apologize to kit-stealers, but due to this being the original five Clans, we will not allow outside kit-stealing. It probably will happen at some point in this role-play, but between the five Clans. As for warrior ceremonies, we will accept name requests, but the current leaders will give them their name. This is to stimulate the books a little, however we may name them the name you ask for. Role-playing Rank & Continuity Changes If you were to break the rules and lose your position, we will come up with a reason for your character to step down or something like so. This is not to humiliate you, but to keep the role-play from "jumping" and to keep it smooth. If you were deleted and rejoined, we will simply say that your cats were sick. If you are deleted for the third time, we will announce your cats dead under different names. If you do not like this, well, we are not mentioning your cats, so you can not really get mad. If this does happen, admins or mods will offer throwaway cats for this. Just because you did not follow our rules does not mean our role-play needs to be messed up with continuity issues. Characters & Joining Before you rattle off a bunch of cats that you are joining with, keep reading to learn of the restrictions. Some names will not be accepted. Mostly due to it not making the most sense in our role-play or in the Warriors universe altogether. Make sure you have back-up names in case we ask for that name to be changed. Also make sure th check the prefix list. We will not accept any cats with the prefixes on any list, as they are already used or will be used fairly soon in each Clan. To be a little clearer about this, we will accept a Bluewhisker in one Clan and a Bluepaw in another, but not a Bluekit in either of those Clans. Keep pelt designs realistic. You do not have to be exact with genetics, but two gray cats can not produce a ginger cat. Mutations are alright to have, but we will only allow a handful. For every three kits in every three litters, one cat with a mutation can be born. Know that if you join with an apprentice, you must create a warrior. We would prefer more warriors over apprentices, as there is no set limit unlike apprentices. We will not allow orphan kits. We are alright with a permanent queen, but their kits must be apprentice aged or older unless you have found a mate for your cat. We may allow pregnant queens, but here is the deal. That cat will not be considered pregnant unless you found someone who is willing to be the father and the two are compatible or at least have a interesting relationship. If you both agree on it, we will put that the two are mates and you may have your cat find out she is pregnant. You have a week to do this and if someone says no, it means no. You can not pressure someone or constantly mention it to the point it is annoying. For those who feel uncomfortable towards LBGTQ+ topics, characters, and forum members, we ask you kindly not to join. We will be open to those characters, members, and we are sure the topic will come up in the role-play. The character limit for joining at the moment is eight characters per person per Clan. You can split these characters up however you want. Each person gets four prefix saves. Also keep genders somewhat even. Ranks So, want to be deputy? Well, you have to be chosen by the admin to get it. Please, please do not apply to be deputy or annoy one of the admins and others with hints in your posts. It is fine if it is a kit, apprentice, or a warrior who is too young to be one. Deputy is a rank in the Clan that is to be earned. We may and probably will take a while on deciding the first deputy. Medicine cats are different. If there is a position for medicine cat open, then you may take it, but you do need to follow the rules for trusted members and higher. Same with deputy, really. Medicine cat apprentices will not be allowed at first, as we want them to be role-played into getting the rank. Trusted members will be chosen by the admin of that Clan, as well as mods. They will be people who have been on the most and we feel like we can trust. They also have the first dibs on possibly recreating this role-play if something were to happen. Mentors are a privilege. While everyone should get an apprentice sooner or later, we will not hesitate to take that away. Courtesy In general, be courteous and respectful to everyone. Keep opinions that can cause wars to yourselves. If you have an issue with someone, take it somewhere else and please for the love of all that is good keep this role-play out of your posts! We do not want negativity linked with this role-play or role-plays somehow linked to this. We expect everyone to be polite and have manners on my role-play. If you go somewhere else and name this role-play because you have an issue with another member stealing your lollipop, we will not be happy. So refrain from that. Be cautious of your words, as they can potentially hurt someone. The saying, "grow a thicker skin," will not always be allowed here. Some things, yes, but more sensitive topics, we ask you be picky with your words. If you have a serious topic that you want to discuss, or even a plot that could "trigger" someone, give a warning first or private message the person you wish to talk to. Luckily, this forum provides a link to some hotlines to help with some things. Consequences This role-play has two systems that determine whether or not you are deleted. One is a universal system and the other is an extra precaution for mods and higher so they do their job. The universal system is called the Star System. It's quite easy. When you receive a star, it means you have done something that has broken our rules. The first star comes with a verbal warning. The second star allows me to delay side plots and take away apprentices. The third star cancels any side plots you have until you have gone back to the second star. Unfortunately, that could have an impact on another person, and cause some more issues, so please do not get this far. The fourth star takes you out of any plots and if you are in a high position, you are demoted. Meaning if you are deputy, you are now a warrior. If you are a mod, you are down to a trusted member. The fifth and final star means you will be deleted in two days if you do not shape up. Depending on the severity of your actions, like you fighting with someone and getting the page deleted, it may have you skip a star or two. You do have a chance to go back down the system after a week's time if you improve. The second system is a strike system. If any negative actions occur and a mod does not reprimand the person at fault, then they receive a strike for not doing their duty. Three strikes equal a star, so be cautious. Sandclaw created the graphics with stock images, save for the headers. The headers contain an image drawn by Rainleaf. The introduction was written by ฦฮฑฦฦัฮท Sัฮฑัั. The rules were written by Rainleaf as well as the coding being done by her. The image in the coding is owned by Rainleaf. The history, characteristics, and territory are from the Wiki.

While making your cats, feel free to ask if there are any open relations that you may place your cat in. You do not have to join any families, however. She-cats are italicized. An asterisk marks that a cat is deceased. ThunderClan is in #CEA4CA. RiverClan is in #0F000E. WindClan is in #AD73A8. SkyClan is in #22001F. Mates, Crushes, & Friendships Blankfur & Blahpelt are mates. Blankclaw and Merpface are kithood friends. Kin Merpface + Derpflower* = Herpwatcher, Open, Open Mentors & Apprentices Blank mentors Blank Plots for ShadowClan will be placed up here. Small summaries will be written by the person who created the plot. Key characters will also be listed below the plot. Main Plot In the past moon, three warriors of Shadowclan have sustained injuries due to broken glass. It has been reported numerous times that twolegs have been tossing glass bottles out of their cars as they drive by, essentially leaving the borders with a mass of glass shards. Though it has been typical that twolegs would throw out their junk near the borders, it has been becoming more of a problem as of late. This can prove to become a problem because not only can cats get these shards caught on their pads and fur, but they can drag it all around. With glass all over the place, it can quickly cause infection and injuries. Will this glass problem wear off? Or will Shadowclan's territory have glass scattered around everywhere, leaving it a hazardous place to even dwell in? Only time can tell. Before you post fan art of your characters or scenes, please make sure you have permission by the artist and give them credit. Crediting does not always mean you have permission. There will be lineart provided by Rainleaf, so you are welcome to use that for this role-play only. I will not allow cat generator pictures, even if credit is given.

A sweet voice coos into the darkness. A kernel of light blinks into existence, far off from where you are. You pad towards it and more voices bounce in the shadows, "Silly, the sun is up so you should be too!" "Wakey wakey!""GET UP! We have to move!" "Wake up, it's time for training.""โWAKE UP!""Moon of my life, the sun is awakeโ"An endless sea of voices, rough and smooth, warm and cold, high pitched chirps and deep growls, all swarming the void around you like invisible smoke. Giggles and shouts twist in a tight, violent circle around your ears, closing in as your walk speeds up, anxious for something. For what? You're not sure. That first voice again, so loving that it fills your soul with a sort of giddy laughter and you start to run. "Wake up my sweet one, my baby. Time to open those beautiful eyes." You reach the light and blink into the bright world. "Good morning, my dearest love!"Your mother purrsโ and you wake up. An odd dream, you think as you stretch lazily in your nest. Yawning, bleary eyes glance around an empty den. Wait a minute. An almost empty den. Almost, because there was a mountain of grey fur practically falling out of a nest closer to the center of the den. What was once bleary was now wide awake, wild with a frantic energy that all but shrieked, "I'm late!" Apprentice or Warrior, in SkyClan, the earlier the better. Sleep is for the weak, no matter what dreams may come. Well, unless you're Stormtrail. That cat was still snoring away in his nestโ but you know better than to wake him. The subtle rumblings of the Clan say that if he's up before sun high, then something bad will happen. The evidence is substantial but honestly you don't put stock in rumors. Hurrying out of the den, you can just about hear the rantings and ravings of Branchstar as your eyes adjust to the influx of light filtering into camp. Of course, you aren't exactly paying attention when Briarfrost pads up to you, eyes bleary and clearly relieved to see you. "Your turn to watch him." Her words made you freeze, the fur along your spine prickling. "Oh no" the groan slipped past your teeth, ears flattening in an expression of despondency. "Yup. You were the last one out of the den. I took the night shift and Gnarledtooth said he'd take the afternoon water. Which meansโ you get the morning shift."A whimper is lodged in your throat, Bramblestar is insufferable in the mornings. As the male got older and more... forgetful, he's all but forced the warriors of SkyClan to make sure he doesn't wander off. Last time he was unwatched, he wandered down to the Thunderpath and was nearly run over if it weren't for some ThunderClan cats who were on patrol. As a result, the once proud leader now has to be babysat, and it makes him very, very grumpy. "Right. Gotcha."This is what you get for sleeping in. "Wish me luck,"your words made her snort with amusement. "He's in a better mood this morning, has some sort of crazy idea. Try to talk him out of it." Oh joy... you think as you head towards your fate, already feeling your energy draining as you got closer and closer to the leaders den. "Branchstar? It's meโ"

SkyClan is a Clan of cats with strongly built hind legs which allow them to jump great heights or distances inherited from their ancestors, ancient SkyClan. They have rough, hard gray pads which help them to jump and walk long distances on hard, rough surfaces without breaking skin, which makes them infected. This feature allows them to climb and hunt in the trees, hence the name SkyClan. They are very powerful cats, who are a bit like ThunderClan.

Primarily a forest with patches of reedy, low lying bushes and rocks throughout. Rocky, but not too rocky. Camp is dip in the earth with boulders half fallen on one another, secured in their place by growing trees that support them. Dens are dug under the brambles that grow at the base of the rocks within the encampment. { โผ } Round Rock - a large boulder closer to the RiverClan section of the territory. Very smooth, an sphere-looking boulder. A patrol point. { โผ } White Oak - a n oak tree who's bark is completely stripped bare, so it grows white. A climbing tree, marked by all the apprentices past. { โผ } Mossy Hollow - a spongy section of the territory, a hollow, where apprentices can train and collect moss. { โผ } Thunder Stones - a line of broken boulders that mark the border for ThunderClan. Kind of like the Snake Rocks of ThunderClan, but more prone to minor rock slides. { โผ } Golden Reeds - a golden field in the south, past the Round Rock. RiverClan border.
SkyClan is filled with wild creatures that either feed or threaten them. Below is a list of animals widely known to be in the Clan's territory as of right now. Some are more common than others! { Prey }
{ โผ } Squirrels[Uncommon]
{ โผ } Robins, Thrushes, Sparrows, & Blackbirds [Common]

Role-playing & Plots With each side plot comes a designated date they can happen depending on who is involved. We will have a calendar for when certain plot points and events will happen and they will be posted in the news section. All side plots need to be approved by an admin or a head moderator. This includes fox attacks on the camp or a badger attack. Kitting needs to be set on a certain date so no one can interfere with that. Keep in mind that there is a system of what takes priority for plots. Main plot events will be priority over everything. Side plots that were decided on a week in advance will follow, then small plots that do not need to be approved. Please ask us before doing it if you are not sure about a certain plot needing approval. We will not be angry. We apologize to kit-stealers, but due to this being the original five Clans, we will not allow outside kit-stealing. It probably will happen at some point in this role-play, but between the five Clans. As for warrior ceremonies, we will accept name requests, but the current leaders will give them their name. This is to stimulate the books a little, however we may name them the name you ask for. Role-playing Rank & Continuity Changes If you were to break the rules and lose your position, we will come up with a reason for your character to step down or something like so. This is not to humiliate you, but to keep the role-play from "jumping" and to keep it smooth. If you were deleted and rejoined, we will simply say that your cats were sick. If you are deleted for the third time, we will announce your cats dead under different names. If you do not like this, well, we are not mentioning your cats, so you can not really get mad. If this does happen, admins or mods will offer throwaway cats for this. Just because you did not follow our rules does not mean our role-play needs to be messed up with continuity issues. Characters & Joining Before you rattle off a bunch of cats that you are joining with, keep reading to learn of the restrictions. Some names will not be accepted. Mostly due to it not making the most sense in our role-play or in the Warriors universe altogether. Make sure you have back-up names in case we ask for that name to be changed. Also make sure the check the prefix list. We will not accept any cats with the prefixes on any list, as they are already used or will be used fairly soon in each Clan. To be a little clearer about this, we will accept a Bluewhisker in one Clan and a Bluepaw in another, but not a Bluekit in either of those Clans. Keep pelt designs realistic. You do not have to be exact with genetics, but two gray cats can not produce a ginger cat. Mutations are alright to have, but we will only allow a handful. For every three kits in every three litters, one cat with a mutation can be born. Know that if you join with an apprentice, you must create a warrior. We would prefer more warriors over apprentices, as there is no set limit unlike apprentices. We will not allow orphan kits. We are alright with a permanent queen, but their kits must be apprentice aged or older unless you have found a mate for your cat. We may allow pregnant queens, but here is the deal. That cat will not be considered pregnant unless you found someone who is willing to be the father and the two are compatible or at least have a interesting relationship. If you both agree on it, we will put that the two are mates and you may have your cat find out she is pregnant. You have a week to do this and if someone says no, it means no. You can not pressure someone or constantly mention it to the point it is annoying. For those who feel uncomfortable towards LBGTQ+ topics, characters, and forum members, we ask you kindly not to join. We will be open to those characters, members, and we are sure the topic will come up in the role-play. The character limit for joining at the moment is eight characters per person per Clan. You can split these characters up however you want. Each person gets four prefix saves. Also keep genders somewhat even. Ranks So, want to be deputy? Well, you have to be chosen by the admin to get it. Please, please do not apply to be deputy or annoy one of the admins and others with hints in your posts. It is fine if it is a kit, apprentice, or a warrior who is too young to be one. Deputy is a rank in the Clan that is to be earned. We may and probably will take a while on deciding the first deputy. Medicine cats are different. If there is a position for medicine cat open, then you may take it, but you do need to follow the rules for trusted members and higher. Same with deputy, really. Medicine cat apprentices will not be allowed at first, as we want them to be role-played into getting the rank. Trusted members will be chosen by the admin of that Clan, as well as mods. They will be people who have been on the most and we feel like we can trust. They also have the first dibs on possibly recreating this role-play if something were to happen. Mentors are a privilege. While everyone should get an apprentice sooner or later, we will not hesitate to take that away. Courtesy In general, be courteous and respectful to everyone. Keep opinions that can cause wars to yourselves. If you have an issue with someone, take it somewhere else and please for the love of all that is good keep this role-play out of your posts! We do not want negativity linked with this role-play or role-plays somehow linked to this. We expect everyone to be polite and have manners on my role-play. If you go somewhere else and name this role-play because you have an issue with another member stealing your lollipop, we will not be happy. So refrain from that. Be cautious of your words, as they can potentially hurt someone. The saying, "grow a thicker skin," will not always be allowed here. Some things, yes, but more sensitive topics, we ask you be picky with your words. If you have a serious topic that you want to discuss, or even a plot that could "trigger" someone, give a warning first or private message the person you wish to talk to. Luckily, this forum provides a link to some hotlines to help with some things. Consequences This role-play has two systems that determine whether or not you are deleted. One is a universal system and the other is an extra precaution for mods and higher so they do their job. The universal system is called the Star System. It's quite easy. When you receive a star, it means you have done something that has broken our rules. The first star comes with a verbal warning. The second star allows me to delay side plots and take away apprentices. The third star cancels any side plots you have until you have gone back to the second star. Unfortunately, that could have an impact on another person, and cause some more issues, so please do not get this far. The fourth star takes you out of any plots and if you are in a high position, you are demoted. Meaning if you are deputy, you are now a warrior. If you are a mod, you are down to a trusted member. The fifth and final star means you will be deleted in two days if you do not shape up. Depending on the severity of your actions, like you fighting with someone and getting the page deleted, it may have you skip a star or two. You do have a chance to go back down the system after a week's time if you improve. The second system is a strike system. If any negative actions occur and a mod does not reprimand the person at fault, then they receive a strike for not doing their duty. Three strikes equal a star, so be cautious.

The cats in the side images and the banner was created using free stock images and are no way mine. They have been edited by Rain using GIMP. The flower image, however, is Rainleaf's. The history is taken from the official Warriors site and the characteristics are taken from Warriors Wiki. The introduction and territory were written by me. The rules were written by Rainleaf.
