Some people might not read Warrior Cats and attempt to RP them, I used to be that person. So I'd kinda like to help out.
So here is a guide to it if you RP them, first lets start out with a dictionary.
I will use colors for a reason red is insult, blue is other, green is normal, and maroon is twoleg.

The Warrior Code
?What is the Warrior Code?
Your Answer is... the Warrior Code is rules that ALL clan cats MUST follow. If a cat is found breaking the Warrior Code they earn a punishment it doesn't matter what rank they are.
#1. Kits must stay inside the camp until they have reached 6 moons old and are apprenticed.
#2. Elders are NOT aloud to do the activities Apprentices and Warriors do.
#3. Defend your clan with your life. You are aloud to have friendship with other clans but you must fight when in battle.
#4. Elders, queens, and kits must be fed before Warriors, the Deputy, and Apprentices are aloud to eat.
#5. Prey only has one use, it's one use is to be eaten. You must thank Starclan for it's life.
#6. Never hunt or trespass on another clan's territory unless their leader approves of you or it's urgent.
#7. A kit can never be apprenticed at any age but 6 moons.
#8. New Warriors must keep silent vigil for a night after getting their Warrior name.
#9. A Warrior can only be named Deputy once they have mentored one Apprentice.
#10. The Deputy becomes clan Leader once the Leader is dead, retired, or exiled.
#11. After the Deputy has died or retired, a new Deputy must be appointed at Moonhigh.
#12. When a Gathering has started there must be peace between all clans.
#13. Boundaries need to be watched carefully, attack any trespassers unless urgent.
#14. A Warrior can't neglect a kit in danger/pain even if from a different clan.
#15. Every word of a Leader is the Warrior Code.
#16. A great Warrior does not need to kill other cats in battles to claim victory, unless if they are breaking the Warrior Code or if your just protecting yourself/others.
#17. Every Warrior MUST not accept the life of a Kittypet.
#18. Every Medicine Cat MUST NOT fall in love or have kits.
(Cats may travel on other territories for help, safety, or something that's urgent to report)

-----------------------------
Things Not to do When RPing as A Warrior Cat
Try to be as literate as possible otherwise there is a chance of not being recruited, but if you speak a different language and your English is bad all you have to do is tell them but if you can't that's a no.
Don't die as soon as your character has been created, we all get bored but sometimes this gets annoying. What if everybody dies once their character has just been created and then your clan is awfully outnumbered?
Do not raid other clans when outnumbered, this will just kill almost every cat in your clan or probably end existence of your clan.
Never raid a clan if they don't want to be raided, your probably saying, "But their outnumbered!" That's the part where you don't want to raid. Keep in mind everybody has feelings, and never raid just because [Insert very bad thing about raiding here].
Don't just eat other cats when you kill them, keep in mind about the Warrior Code and realism.
Never attack when something is just claiming territory, staying for a while, or etc near you, take your time before attacking you could cause serious injuries to your clan in RP.
------------------------------------(Keep in mind that you do not have to do what I say, these are just suggestions)
