~Warrior Cats Generations~
Rules
1.No cussing! >:U
2.You must be Semi Literate or Literate. fully illiterate people allowed. By semi-lit i mean you have to spell stuff right,use different words that sound the same (there,their and they're,ect.) and literate players can make long paragraph-like posts while semi-lit people don't have to make super long sentences.Semi-literate players that use stupid chat words (L8,ect.) is so stereotypical so don't even try saying that -,-. if people use things like that their fully illiterate not semi literate.
3.chat speak and smileys are welcome but please don't overdo it.
Do's:Nu, lol,yush,hai ect.
Don'ts:4eva, L8, chillin' homees, ect.
4.No inappropriate talk or actions allowed. if this rule is broken you will be given ONE warning or banned from the group immediately depending on what it was.
5.your character can be a big jerk but please be nice to people OOC (out of character)
6.No Power-playing
7.please be as active as you can be. this is a active group, when i play in the map there shouldn't be a entire day when i'm the only one there. This rule doesn't count if the game server is down for a day.
8.your character can also choose not to follow the warrior code but i think at least some people should. It wouldn't be much of a warrior cats RP if everyone didn't follow the warrior code
9.Don't give the map link out to ANYONE. if a member accidentally lost or deleted the map they should PM me saying so and i will give it to them again.
10.NO WINGS. this is semi realistic
11.If your the leader of a clan you can send raids and wars and stuff for some extra territory,a spot your clan likes, ect. but please don't be sending 3-4 raids a day, it's not fair.you can only send 1 raid every FH day, (don't send raids every day though) whether the raid is sent at day or night is up to you. DO NOT start a raid/war without a reason such as i listed at the top of this rule.
12.Gatherings will be on Saturdays at 3:30 EASTERN time. this should be a good time for those after school because it's about half a hour after you normally get out. At gatherings you can share stories,see friends from other clans,ect. Gatherings are peaceful times so please no fights or hostility. You can also ask favors from other clans (a place for someone to stay,a hunting spot that is needed,a escort to somewhere ect.) and suggest a rule added to the warrior code, it will only be added if all the clans agree.
13.turn down the drama dial. warrior cats RP include some drama and that's ok but don't overdo it and just ask for attention (say you got hit on the thunderpath and your nowhere near it,randomly walk into another clan's camp and say that you have a severe injury, nobody should be dieing every 2 seconds.)
14.No saying things kids shouldn't hear
15.have fun!
16.All FH rules apply
17.you can't be a character from the warriors books, OC's only. they can be related somehow or something though
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
The Warrior Code
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.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Other stuff you should know
1. when some land is taken over by a clan the map will be edited to fit the new territories.
2.the map isn't 100% perfect so the whole ground of the map won't be covered with grass,flowers,bushes ect.
3.about 1-2 rivers in the map aren't completely full.
4.there is no terrain mask so the ground everywhere in the map will be the same color. don't blame me,blame my windows XP (which is starting to look like a windows 97 o_o) which can't handle terrain masks and has a low graphics card. if the ground in the map is african grass ect. and not deepgreenGrass2 (look it up in textures) then tell me, i'll fix it.
5.the map isn't exactly like the forest map but i made it look as much like it as i possibly could.
6. a ZIP download will be added when i have time.
7.if there is a problem with the map just tell me, i'll fix it and put up a new download for it. you can also suggest what i should put in the map so i can update it more.
8.the roads i have in the map aren't...perfect. so the can't go up hills and stuff, be aware of unconnected roads that go up hills.
9.Windclan has the biggest camp,but is the only camp that doesn't have bushes surrounding it.
10.the "hole" that mothermouth sits in had to be removed because i couldn't open the height map in map maker unless i got rid of it. now it sits on flat ground below the mountains.
11.Sunning rocks belongs to thunder clan! (will edit the color coded map)
12.the map link isn't in this topic. it will be send to the members only through via PM
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Ceremonies!!!
Apprentice ceremony
Process:
When a kit turns six moons old, he or she is ready to become an apprentice. Until this time,
their name ends with the '-kit' suffix. When a kit becomes an apprentice, their name ends with '-paw', showing the path their paws are on.
Ceremony:
Leader: (Kit), you have reached the age of six moons, and it is time
for you to be apprenticed. From this day on, until you receive your
warrior name, you will be known as (new name, ending with 'paw').
Your mentor will be (name of warrior or medicine cat). I hope
(name of warrior or medicine cat) will pass down all he/she knows
to you.
Leader: (Warrior), you are ready to take on an apprentice. You had
received excellent training from (former mentor), and you have shown
yourself to be (quality) and (quality). You will be the mentor of
(apprentice), and I expect you to pass on all you know to
(apprentice).
~
Deputy ceremony.
Ceremony:
Leader: I say these words before StarClan, that the spirits of our
warrior ancestors (or former deputy name) may hear and approve of my
choice. The new deputy of (Clan) is (warrior's name).
~
Warrior ceremony.
Process:
An apprenticeship usually lasts six moons or more. Once the mentor is satisfied with the apprentice's progress and skills, he or she recommends them to the leader of the Clan. Then, the apprentice must pass an assessment, when their abilities as a warrior are checked.In cases when the apprentice has just made an important contribution to the Clan, the leader may decide that there is no need for an assessment (i.e. Firepaw after saving the kits,Brackenpaw after fighting courageously in a battle or Thistlepaw after fighting a dog).
Ceremony:
Leader: I, (Leader), leader of (Clan), call upon my warrior ancestors
to look down on this apprentice. (He/she) has trained hard to
understand the ways of your noble code, and I commend (him/her) to
you as a warrior in (his/her) turn.
Leader: (Apprentice), do you promise to uphold the warrior code and
to protect and defend your Clan, even at the cost of your life?
Apprentice: I do.
Leader: Then by the powers of StarClan, I give you your warrior name.
(Apprentice), from this moment you will be known as (new warrior
name). StarClan honors your (virtues), and we welcome you as a full
warrior of (Clan).
~
Leadership ceremony.
Process:
The new leader goes to the Moonstone (or Moonpool) with the Clan's medicine cat. After touching the stone (or drinking from the pool), the new leader cannot move for a short period of time, because their old life is being ripped away so they can receive nine new ones. Upon awakening, cats of StarClan come down from Silverpelt. Nine cats, normally ones who were significant during the new leader's life, give them their nine lives with these words:
Life-Giver: (Touches nose to the top of the new leader's head) With this life I give you (gift). Use it well (to, in, as, for, etc.) (use of gift).
When all of the lives have been given, the previous leader says these words:
Previous Leader: I hail you by your new name, _____star. Your old life is no more. You have now received the nine lives of a leader, and StarClan grants you the guardianship of ____Clan. Defend it well; care for young and old; honor your ancestors and the traditions of the warrior code; live each life with pride and dignity.
Just as the forest-cats would call a warrior by their new name, the StarClan cats acclaim the new leader.After the ceremony, the new leader is not allowed to tell any cat what happened during the ceremony.
Getting nine lives does not necessarily mean that a leader will live longer, but they can survive certain accidents or injuries that would claim the life of a cat, but they cannot survive if they have major injuries such as the injuries Scourge gave Tigerstar. If a leader does not loose a life, they will die of old age nine times.
If a leader no longer wishes to be the leader, they must go to the Moonstone or Moonpool to revoke all but one life, so their deputy may have their full nine lives. Sunstar only had 8 lives because Pinestar never officially retired at the Moonstone
~
Name Changing ceremony.
Process:
When a cat's name no longer portrays who they are, a Clan leader can perform this ceremony to change it to a new name. Normally the name is changed from the result of an injury (i.e. One-eye), but sometimes it is changed when the cat has been named incorrectlyand the leader wants to rectify this mistake (i.e. Brightheart)
Ceremony:
Spirits of StarClan, you know every cat by name. I ask you now to
take away the name from the cat you see before you, for it no longer
stands for what he/she is. By my authority as Clan leader, and with
the approval of our warrior ancestors, I give this cat a new name.
From this moment on he/she will be known as (new name), for
(description of the reason).
~
Med Cat ceremony.
Process:
Apprenticeship for medicine cats usually lasts much longer than those for warriors. The cat must learn about all available herbs and remedies, and the treatment of diseases and injuries.
Once the Clan's medicine cat is satisfied with the apprentice's knowledge, they go to the Clans' sacred place (such as the Moonstone or Moonpool). This is the only ceremony that is not performed by the Leader in the camp.
Ceremony:
Medicine Cat: I, (name), medicine cat of (Clan), call upon my warrior
ancestors to look down on this apprentice. (He/she) has trained hard
to understand the ways of a medicine cat, and with your help (he/she)
will serve (his/her) Clan for many moons.
Medicine Cat: (Apprentice), do you promise to uphold the ways of a
medicine cat, to stand apart from rivalry between Clan and Clan and
to protect all cats equally, even at the cost of your life?
Apprentice: I do.
Medicine Cat: Then by the powers of StarClan I give you your true
name as a medicine cat. (Apprentice), from this moment you will be
known as (new name). StarClan honors your (virtues), and we welcome
you as a full medicine cat of (Clan).
~
Elder ceremony.
Process:
An aging warrior, queen, or medicine cat may retire as an elder due to own initiative, when they feel they cannot help the Clan efficiently any more (such as Mousefur or Speckletail). They report this to the Clan Leader, who calls a Clan Meeting and addresses the warrior.
Ceremony:
Leader: (Warrior), is it your wish to give up the name of a warrior
and go to join the elders?
Warrior: It is.
Leader: Your Clan honors you and all the service you have given to us.
I call upon StarClan to give you many moons of rest.
~
Med cat apprentice ceremony.
Process:
The Leader calls a Clan Meeting, after the Clan's medicine cat announces that he or she wishes to mentor an apprentice. The following words are used, by tradition:
Medicine Cat: Cats of (Clan), as you know, I will not be around forever. So it's time I took an apprentice. I have chosen a cat who has shown (virtues). Your next medicine cat will be (apprentice).
Leader: (Apprentice), do you accept the post of apprentice to (medicine cat)?
Apprentice: I do.
Medicine Cat: Then at the half-moon, you must travel to the Moonstone/Moonpool to be accepted by StarClan before the other medicine cats.
Leader: The good wishes of all (Clan) will go with you.
The mentor touches noses with the apprentice, and the Clan greets the new apprentice.
At the Moonstone/MoonpoolEdit
At the next half moon, the medicine cat goes with the apprentice to the Clans' sacred place to present him or her to the warrior ancestors, where the apprentice confirms his or her wish to be a medicine cat. The following words are used, by tradition:[
Medicine Cat: (Apprentice), is it your wish to enter the mysteries of StarClan as a medicine cat?
Apprentice: It is.
Medicine Cat: Then come forward.
Medicine Cat: Warriors of StarClan, I present you with this apprentice. (He/she) has chosen the path of a medicine cat. Grant (him/her) your wisdom and insight so that (he/she) may understand your ways and heal (his/her) Clan in accordance with your will.
The medicine cat apprentice touches his/her nose to the Moonstone or drinks from the Moonpool. Then the medicine cat and the apprentice lay down and have a dream from StarClan.
~
Vigil.
Warrior vigil:
Newly appointed warriors are required to stay awake for the entire night after they received their warrior name, as decreed by the Warrior Code. They guard the camp in silence, while the other Clan members have a good rest.
In some cases, this rule cannot be adhered to, and the warrior receives another task. For example, when Squirrelflight is appointed as a warrior, there is no Clan camp to guard, so she receives the task to explore the lake with other warriors instead of the vigil.
Vigil for the dead:
If a Clan cat dies, his/her body is taken to the center of the camp, and several of their Clanmates, usually the cat's family members and close friends, sit vigil for them through the night, sharing tongues for the last time before the elders bury the cat in the morning.
