~Into the Woods~ A Warrior Cat RP

Welcome to the Warrior Cats.

There is four Clans.

ThunderClan, strong and brave. They live in the forest areas.

WindClan, very swift in their paws. They live in open moorlands, used to catching prey such as rabbit.

RiverClan, swift in swimming. They live in the rivers, making their main source of food fish.

ShadowClan... think ninjas. They're able to walk quietly and avoid detection. They live in the swamps, making their food frogs, toads, lizards, rats, and sometimes crowfood, rotten food that gets cats sick.

And then there's StarClan... it is a Clan of dead cats that now watch over the cats of their Clans.

~Inside the Clan~

Leader: A Clan leader is charged with the responsibility to watch over and manage an entire Clan, maintaining discipline, order, and protection. It is assumed that if the leader is a she-cat, she is not allowed to have a mate or kits, though there has been nothing in any of the series, guidebooks, or special edition books to confirm this. Leaders are normally granted nine lives and a new name with the ending '-star' in a ceremony where nine StarClan cats come to them in a dream at the Moonstone/Moonpool. However, a leader may not receive all nine lives of the previous leader of his or her Clan is still alive; in this instance, a leader will have a life taken off the original total of nine for every life the previous leader still possesses.

Deputy: The deputy is the second-in-command to the leader, and may be considered an apprentice to the art of leading the Clan. They serve in the leader's place in situations where the leader is unable to fulfill their duties. In order to become a deputy, you must have at least trained one apprentice, though they might be some exceptions.

Medicine Cat: As a healer, they gather herbs and dispense them as an apothecary would. They handle diagnosis and treatment of both illness and injury for all the cats in the Clan.

In their role as spiritual leader, they teach the code, interpret omen and prophecy, and generally serve the Clan as a conduit between the earthly cats and their ghostly counterparts.

All medicine cats gather every half-moon. (In this case every 1-2 weeks, since a moon is a month, counting all the full moons)

Medicine Cat Apprentice:
A medicine cat apprentice is the cat that is being trained to follow in the paw-steps of the medicine cat. They learn healing and spiritual lore from the medicine cat. Medicine cat apprentices also accompany their mentors in their visit to the Moonstone/Moonpool every half-moon to receive dreams from StarClan.

Frequently, a medicine cat apprentice who has full training will be given an warrior name ('-paw' replaced with another ending); however, medicine cat apprentices remain apprentices even when fully trained so long as the current medicine cat is still practicing the arts.

At the time the old medicine cat either dies or steps down, the medicine cat apprentice becomes a full medicine cat.

Warriors:
A warrior is a cat trained in the arts of fighting and hunting. Warriors make up the bulk of a Clan, and provide that Clan with the protection and food supply that keeps it safe and well-fed.

Apprentices:
An apprentice is a cat in training to become a warrior. Their names end in the word '-paw' (e.g. Tawnypaw, Bramblepaw, Firepaw). Most usually are at or over the age of six moons. They have a mentor appointed to them at their ceremony and most days are taken out battle training or hunting.

Kits:
A kit is a cat who has not been made an apprentice yet. Their names always end in '-kit' (e.g. Redkit, Snowkit, Bluekit). Most often, they are under the age of six moons.

They stay in the nursery and are forbidden to go into the territory until they are made into an apprentice or taken out by a medicine cat/ medicine cat apprentice.

Queens:
A queen is a she-cat with or expecting kits. Their primary task during this time is the raising of their kits.

Elders:
An elder is a retired warrior, deputy, queen or medicine cat who is too old or not in suitable shape to continue with their duties. They are responsible for taking the body of a dead cat out to be buried.

Rogues/Loners:
They are living on their own. Some rogues are exiled cats.

Here is more of the terminology.

Here are the ceremonies. (Note: You don't have to follow this, I don't mind if you just say 'x is now a warrior.'

All Clans gather every moon; month, in Fourtrees, in peace. It happens every full moon.
