Voices Of The Sea
Along the shore of the ocean lives 3 clans. ShoreClan, tolerant, ever changing like the tides ,Ridgeclan, rock hard in their tradition, strict, and strong in their ways, inhabit the treacherous cliffs, and in the swamp is Marshclan, mysterious and allusive, most of the time preferring to keep out of the business of the other two. All very different clans, but all have one goal.
Survival

11/5 The thread is still being worked on, but applications are now open! A Leader for MarshClan is needed, as well as Deputies and Medicine Cats for all three clans.
___________________________________________________________________________________________________________
Rules 1. The Golden Rule applies. Treat others how you wanna be treated. This covers most things, and I shouldn't have to type it all out. I will if this becomes a problem though.
2. This RP is strictly literate, meaning use proper grammar, spell to the best of your ability, and NO ONE LINERS. We all know muse gets low at times, but 3 lines isn't to difficult. Be original ,use some description. If you are new to roleplaying, just ask for help, I dont bite, I promise. The catch is you have to be willing to learn. No Powerplaying, no Godmoding.
3. This sort of goes with the rule above, but type in story format. No *Goes to get a drink*. Instead, do something like; Darkpaw went to get a drink. Doesn't that sound much better? Except use more discription than that, remember, no one liners.
4. Names. You guys are gonna hate me for this one. Human objects cannot be used in name for warriors, no Inkface, Pencilclaw Ect. no. If a cat wouldn't know what it is, don't use it. Also no celestial names like Sun,Star,Moon. This is a major pet peeve of mine. The cats seem to hold the celestial bodies in high respect, so they wouldn't name a cat after them in my mind. Also no dark names, like Twistedclaw, Bloodnose ect. A mother wouldn't name her kit, whom she gave birth too, a gruesome or horrid name.There is an exception to this rule, if your cat has had a name changing ceremony, but the catch is, I have to approve the reason on why their name has been changed, and it better be a good reason. Kay? Kay. Remember, a warriors name is supposed to describe the cat in some way.
Heres a little helpful guide, made by
EbonyCrow5: Cat colors only, No pink or green cats running around. No extremely odd markings. No powers, unless its accepted for a plot of some sort. No Random prophecies about your cat, unless approved by me. No accessories, collars are allowed, but with a good reason.
6: Rogues are allowed, but the cap for right now is 4, until we get some clan cats.
Rogues 0/4
7: Also, Ages. Another one of my pet peeves is when a 14 moon year old leader or deputy is running around. The only exceptions are those approved by me for possible plots.
Leaders: 28 moons or older
Deputies 25 moons or older
Medicine Cats: 20 moons or older
Warriors: 12 moons or over
Apprentices: 6 moons or over
8. Be Rational. No randomly wandering into another territory or camp fighting, or just doing whatever. If you are found in another territroy other than you own, they have rights to attack you.
9 Most importantly. Have fun!

Warriors Code

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.

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.

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.
