If no one is interested by 1/8/12 (second Sunday of the year) I will take the thread down.

This roleplay is based off the Warriors series by Erin Hunter. It is a traditional RP, with the four original Clans and traditional Warrior Code.
The four clans of the forest are Thunderclan, Riverclan, Windclan, and Shadowclan. Thunderclan is well-known for questioning the Code, and is named for the Thunderpath, or highway, it uses as its Windclan border. Riverclan is named for the river border it shares with Thunderclan. Also, the cats in that clan know how to swim, eat a diet of mainly fish, and have extremely glossy coats due to the oil in fish. Windclan is named for the windy and somewhat barren land it has claimed. Shadowclan is on a marsh, and is the shadiest clan, in both weather and activites. Starclan is a clan of dead cats, that live up in Silverpelt, or the night sky.
NOTE: This is just a clan stereotype. You can have an evil Windclan cat, a nice Shadowclan cat, a sheepish Thunderclan cat, and a hydrophobic Riverclan cat. Starclan can ONLY be dead cats, and that’s only kept in order to keep track of all charries.

The cats must*** live by the Warrior Code, created by their ancestors to prevent chaos.
The code is:

1. 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.

2. Do not hunt or trespass on another Clan's territory.

3. 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.

4. Prey is killed only to be eaten. Give thanks to StarClan for its life.

5. A kit must be at least six moons old to become an apprentice.

6. Newly appointed warriors will keep a silent vigil for one night after receiving their warrior name.

7. A cat cannot be made deputy without having mentored at least one apprentice.

8. The deputy will become Clan leader when the leader dies or retires.

9. After the death or retirement of the deputy, the new deputy must be chosen before moonhigh.

10. A Gathering of all four Clans is held at the full moon during a truce that lasts for the night. There shall be no fighting among Clans at this time.

11. Boundaries must be checked and marked daily. Challenge all trespassing cats.

12. No warrior can neglect a kit in pain or danger, even if the kit is from a different Clan.

13. The word of the Clan leader is the warrior code.

14. An honorable warrior does not need to kill other cats to win his/her battles, unless they are outside the warrior code or if it is necessary for self-defense.

15. A warrior rejects the soft life of a kittypet.

Exceptions
Cats on their way to the Moonstone or Moonpool are allowed to cross other Clans' territories to get to their destination - WindClan grounds in on the moorland and ThunderClan grounds by the lake, in the forest.
Additional Rules
The following rules are not specifically stated in the Warrior Code, but are expected to be followed:
Medicine cats may not have a mate or kits.
Kits must stay in camp until they are apprenticed, and are not allowed to hunt.
The safety of the Clan is more important than the safety of one cat.
Clans must not unite together to drive out another Clan.
Clans must not force another Clan to share territory.
Enemy patrols must not attack cats if they are returning from a mission all four Clans agree on.

Rejected Codes
Throughout history, several other rules were proposed for introduction into the Warrior Code, however, they were turned down. These rules were:
Only cats of pure forest blood can be Clan members
Each Clan may only eat the prey they are most suited for
All Clan cats must believe in StarClan

Punishment
The Clan Leader may choose to punish cats who broke the Warrior Code. These include scolding, giving a warrior apprentice duties, or giving an apprentice an unpleasant task. In severe cases, the cat may be exiled from the Clan.
Cats who would murder for no reason or caused much pain to other cats for no reason would go to the Place of No Stars instead of StarClan.

A tornado landed in your forest. Generations of Clan cats have lived and died in this forest, and now it is nothing but twigs. Few cats survived, prey is scarce, and no one knows what the future of the Clans will be.
The Ten Commandments of Leafpool's Warrior Cat RPG
1. OBEY the RP rules and RP guidelines.
2. RESPECT other RPers, especially in OOC.
3. NO God-modding whatsoever.
4. NO God-moding whatsoever.
5. In fights, be fair. Discuss it in OOC, or PM. If you don’t, I will determine whether it was a hit or miss.
6. TRY to be at least semi-literate. No kid-writing like my mother does in her Kindergarten classroom. At the very least, a high-school level of literacy.
7. NO superpowers. Cats cannot fly, or control flames. Also, no mythical creatures. Leafpool did NOT fly in on a Unicorn.
8. READ the entire introductory post. I made a very detailed intro, and that was on purpose.
9. USE common sense. A tabby can’t jump thirty feet. Also, escaped housecats/strays (which this RP is about) aren’t about snow leopards.
10. IF you have read, understand, and agree to these rules, put your favorite song in the “Other” section of the application.

Birth name:The first part of their name, given at birth. EX: Bramblekit, Bluestar, etc.
Status name:The second part of their name, determined by status. Leaders have “star”, Apprentices have “paw”, kits have “kit”, and warriors, deputies, queens, and medicine cats can choose a variety of endings, typically one syllable in length. EX: Moonstar, Willowclaw, Feathereye, Berrypaw, Stampedekit, etc.
Full name:Birth name directly followed by status name. IE Birthstatus.
Appearance:A picture or detailed description. Enough to visualize your cat.
Personality:A brief description of how your cat interacts with others, it’s preferences, and peculiarities.
Biography:A detailed description of your cat’s history and past.
Other:Other stuff about your cat or you.








*If you play this role, please either a)know the difference between poppy seeds and mouse bile b) read this. or c) be very good at making stuff up. I don't want you giving a cat foxglove seeds (lethal).
**Can be as many as needed, but I only put up the first few slots because I don't expect many people. In fact, I plan to launch before filling up even one clan.
*** They can choose not to, but most cats do out of honor. Evil cats can disobey it, however.

OOC: I'll join this, I'm a really big fan of the books.

Birth name: Birch
Status name: Leaf
Full name: Birchleaf
Appearance: Birchleaf has long, dark-gray fur, with a series of white speckles on her head. She has light yellow eyes and large ears, at least for a cat. Her tail is long as well, and has a black tuft of shorter fur, at least compared to the rest of her fur, on the tip of her tail. Her nose is black, as well as the pads on her feet. Her fur disguises her frame, making her look poofy and fat, but underneath she is very thin.
Personality: She is very calm, but if you make her angry, be prepared to run. She loves kits and apprentices.
Biography: Birchleaf was the only survivor of her litter. The rest died during birth, or during the winter following. Birchleaf wasn't allowed to do very much because of that; her parents were too worried. She would sneak out, however, and hunt at night. In retrospect, she finds it strange that no one discovered her nightly excursions. When she reached apprentice-hood, her father died in a skirmish over border markings, and her mother never really recovered.
