ROLEPLAY AND CLAN RULES. Read.

ROLEPLAYING RULES:

~You Must Know Warrior Cats. You must have read some of the books and have a basic understanding about how the Clan's work.

~Keep Your Characters Realistic. They cannot have superpowers or be invincible against attacks etc.  This also applies for the appearance of the cats, like unrealistic eye colors, coat colors or any extra pieces such as wings.  

~Characters must be cats only. No wolves, cat x wolf hybrids and so on.

~Do Not Claim To Be A HP. A leader, deputy or medicine cat, you must earn the role to become a high position, you can find out more out that on the High Positions thread.  

~Do Not Play As Characters From The Book.  Do not play exactly as characters from the Erin Hunter books, such as Firestar or Tigerstar, they never existed in this RP.  You may have the similar names etc such as Firepaw.

~Keep Content PG-13! This roleplay site is kid-friendly, swearing is allowed but we prefer you use warrior swears (such as fox-dung etc).  ANY sexual/mating references anywhere on this site can get you banned on first offence!

~Your Profile Is Your Warrior Cat Character.  Your profile is filled out for your warrior cat character, not you.  Do not give out any personal information online.

~No Advertising. Please do not fill the forums and other peoples threads with advertisements, you will be banned.

~Only Play Up To Six Characters.  You may play up to 6 different characters on one account but please do not make any more than three as it gets really confusing for both member and admin.



WARRIOR CODE:

These are the rules the Clan's live by however ThornClan doesn't truly follow them.

~Defend your Clan, even with your life. You may have friendships with cats from other Clans, but your loyalty must remain to your Clan, as one day you may meet them in battle.
~Do not hunt or trespass on another Clan's territory.
~Elders, queens, and kits must be fed before apprentices and warriors. Unless they have permission, apprentices may not eat until they have hunted to feed the elders. If any warrior or apprentice is sick or injured, they may eat while the elders, queens, and kits are eating.
~Prey is killed only to be eaten. Give thanks to StarClan for its life.
~A kit must be at least six moons old to become an apprentice.
~Newly appointed warriors will keep a silent vigil for one night after receiving their warrior name.
~A cat cannot be made deputy without having mentored at least one apprentice.

~Boundaries must be checked and marked daily. Challenge all trespassing cats.
~No warrior can neglect a kit in pain or danger, even if the kit is from a different Clan.
~The word of the Clan Leader is the warrior code.
