The Warrior Code
Essentially, these are the rules cats of StormClan must live or die by. They are very important, and you must read and understand them before entering and committing to this Clan.
1. How to Role Play.
Role play is easy once you get used to it. You write down things your cat says normally, for example: Wow, that is a huge mouse! When your cat does something, an action or expression, you put it in stars, for example: *wipes face with paw*. When you have something you need to say, or a question you need to ask which isn't a part of the world of StormClan, you put it in brackets, for example: (I have to go now, bye!) Please never post anything with the wrong name.
2. Keeping Active.
StormClan can quickly become cluttered with hundreds of cats who never post or do anything to contribute to the Clan. A quick and easy way of stopping this is to remove unactive cats. If a cat does not post for two weeks, they will be removed from the Cats of StormClan page, and placed under Cats for Adoption. This means that we will not lose a cat, instead, we will give it to someone more active. If you know in advance you are going to be away for a period of time, please alert someone so that your cat is not taken away. If you are away from StormClan for more than two weeks unexpectedly, and did not warn anyone beforehand, you may come and ask for your cat back.
3. Adopting Cats.
If you want to join StormClan, but can't find the creativity to make your own cat, or simply like the look of a cat up for Adoption, you may ask on the page to adopt that cat. If your request is approved, you will take over the roleplaying of the cat, and continue as normal. However, please try to remember the history of the cat you choose, and keep their personality the same. If you find that you have a cat who you no longer want to role play, you can put them on this page.
4. Mentors and Apprentices.
Being an apprentice is something all warriors have to go through, therefore being a mentor is an important duty of all cats. Sunstar chooses the cats who will be mentors, but you can apply for an apprentice on the Mentors page. If you are given an apprentice, you must do your best to teach them valuable skills for their future in the Clan, and apprentices must do their best to remember to show up to training and learn as much as they can. If any cat wishes to change their mentor or apprentice for any reason, they simply need to ask Sunstar.
5. Mates and Kits.
When a cat wants to choose a mate, they can go to the Mates page. You can decide amongst yourself who will be mates with who, then alert Sunstar when a descision is reached. You can also choose, along with your mate, whether you will have kits or not. When a she-cat is expecting kits, she moves into the nursery. During this time she cannot leave camp or mentor an apprentice. When kits are born, the two parents must decide together the kits names, genders, and descriptions, and also who will role play them. If you find that neither parent wants to role play the kit, they can be put on the Cats for Adoption page.
6. Senior Warriors.
As a cat passes his or her fifty-sixth moon, they reach the rank of senior warrior. These are Sunstar's most trusted friends and Clanmates, and they help her with all the big descisions. Senior warriors have their own den, which younger cats are not allowed inside. They also go to Gatherings far more frequently than any other warrior, and get special privileges such as eating first and chooisng best prey. There is no easy way to become a senior warrior, you just have to stick with your cat until they reach the goal.
If there is anything else you need to know, ask Sunstar in her den. Thank you for keeping the Warrior Code of StormClan.
