 Introduction _________________ Most cats agree that in the beginning, there were 5 cats- Thunder, River, Wind, Shadow, and Sky, who had came together after a bloody battle and united by the souls who passed on. Sure, this is true, but this is not the case. Most cats have no knowledge of the past that is beyond the battle. The first clan cat was Echo, or Echostar. Her clan, EchoClan, lived before StarClan was ever around to guide them. Instead, she took in any cats in trouble, binding them together to form her large clan. Together, they learned how to hunt from the trees to the ponds, and how to fight off the smallest cat to the largest badger. They were strong and high in numbers. However, since StarClan wasn't in existence, Echostar never had 9 lives. So when she passed on from old age, Lonebranch took the stage as Lonestar. He turned from a brave deputy to a skittish leader. Fights broke out in the clan, and eventually split in two, sending the hostile cats away. Thunder, River, Wind, Shadow, and Sky were amongst the hostile cats. Lonestar created the old "warrior" code, known as the "Cat's Code of Conduct." It is a detailed version of a much more traditional form of the warrior code. This outraged the new five clans, along with StarClan. EchoClan was chased far north to a prey-rich forest. They adapted and survived to what they are now today. _________________ Ranks _________________ Leader - If someone is granted the title of leader of their Clan, they get the suffix - Star added to their name and leading responsibilities of their entire Clan. The leader must go to the Amethyst Crystal in the Twin Mountain Temples and receive their nine lives and name to be an official leader. Examples; Bliss`star, Wolfstar, Silentstar Deputy - The deputy is a cat who is second-in-command after the leader. They are in charge of organizing hunting and border patrols, and will become leader after the Leader dies. In that case, the new leader should appoint a new deputy before moonhigh (midnight) Examples; Gorseclaw, Rustchain, Monkeyswing Spiritual Shaman - The Spiritual Shaman is one of the most important cats in the clan. Since EchoClan is close to StarClan, signs, omens, and prophecies are a way of life. This cat can predict any kind of signs, and usually stays at the Twin Mountain Temples for a long period of time. Soldiers - A soldier is a tom or a she-cat not nursing kits that are trained for combat and hunting. If the leader thinks that they are responsible enough, they are in charge of training a trainee. Soldiers defend and feed their Clan. Examples; Thistleclaw, Howlsong, Snakeclaw Trainees - Trainees are cats that begin training to be Warriors at four moons old. Their mentors train them in the arts of combat and hunting, and they usually bring clean bedding and prey to the elders. Their names always end in the suffix -paw, and when their mentor and leader think they are ready, they receive their warrior names. Examples; Maplepaw, Banditpaw Mothers - A mother is a she-cat that is nursing or expecting kits. They will sleep in the nursery until their kittens are apprentice-aged; they will move back to the soldier's den and duties then. Examples; Honeynose, Applewing Kittens - Kittens are cats that are under four moons and living in the nursery. They are not allowed to hunt or leave camp alone, and their names end with -kit. When they reach the age of four moons, they become apprentices. Examples; Birdkit, Wolfkit, Solarkit Elders - Play a big role in the clan's political field. They can help the Lead ranks on decisions, but are also great at storytelling. Very wise, old cats. They have retired from their duties, and are cared for by soldiers and trainees. Examples; Rosefur, Shadowstep Prisoners - Captured cats that have trespassed over 10 times or committed a heavy crime. They can be beaten, tortured, and taunted, but never killed. After all, they need to pay for their wrong doing. The heavier the crime, the bigger the punishment. Loners - A loner is a cat that doesn't live with a Clan or Twolegs. They sometimes live in pairs or small groups. Examples; Anubis, Isis, Hermione Rouges - Rogues are like loners, only they are more hostile or were banished from their Clan. They sometimes live in small groups as well, but usually travel alone or with a mate. Examples; Sky, Smoke, Tycho Kittypets - Kittypets are housecats; living with Twolegs. They usually do not go into the forest, except for a few occasions. Examples; Misty, Suki, Ginny _________________ Applications _________________ Member Application Code: [Select] Friend/Foe Application Code: [Select] [b]Clan Name[/b]:[url=LINKTOTOPIC]CLANNAMEHERE[/url]_________________ Important Links _________________ Proboards Site {Under Construction; Maintenance Mode Enabled} Map Download -Coming Soon _________________ |
