((Revised By Leafeh. Check Back Often For We Do Add Rules Frequently.))

[/b][/size]
[li] You are not to post anything sexual, racist, pornographic or offensive on this forum. The Admins will not tolerate this behaviour and will ban you without a warning.
[/li][li] We are all here to roleplay! Don't make the expirience a terrible one for you or another member.
[/li][li] Check back here often for new rules! The excuse of 'I didn't know' is not acceptable here.
[/li][li]If you are being harrassed by a member, please tell the admins! We will deal with the member accordingly.
[/li][li] Absolutely no swear words In Character or Out Of Character.
[/li][li] No chatspeak in character! It is quite annoying, no?
[/li][li] No Powerplaying Or God-Moding without permission. (Powerplaying is controlling another's character without their consent, and God Moding is basically an oh so pretty/handsome, indestructable cat who controls everyone)
[/li][li] Please try to post twice a week. Inactivity for over a month will led to an email, then deletion.
[/li][li] We Reserve every right to ban you from this forum.
[/li][li] Signatures must contain credits if stock is used in the picture.
[/li][li] It is suggested that you post in size one: [size=1][/size]
[/li][li] We require intermediate-stage literacy for roleplaying. If you are learning how to roleplay, we will suggest ways to make you better. We expect proper grammar, punctuation and spelling.
[/li][li] Do not double-post. (Double-posting is posting twice with the same cat twice in a row. It is also advised not to post twice in a row with two different cats in a row.)
[/li][li] When naming roleplay threads, don't just name it after your character. Be creative! Instead of just 'Fireheart', post 'Fireheart's Little Dilemma'. It adds more fun into the expirence.

Character Rules[/size]

[/li][li] You MUST wait for your character to be accepted by one of the admins or one of the two Moderators.
[/li][li]After your character is accepted, you must go into its clan and post him/her on that clan's character log!
[/li][li] If one name, position ETC. Is taken, you are not to whine or complain.
[/li][li] Do not use a character name from the book. (Name ending with 'kit, 'paw or 'star are allowed. Ex. You may have a Firekit, but not a Fireheart)
[/li][li] Keep Gender Ratiors Even! We reserve the right to not accept a character if the gener ratios are not even. We already have too many she-cats and not enough toms.
[/li][li] No Un-Verified Forbidden Relationships between clans - You may ask about it but it is unlikely that you will be granted the rarity.
[/li][li] It is rare that a deputy becomes a Leader.
[/li][li] You may not have two leaders of clans. (Acceptions made for Original-cla/tribe leaders (The Tribe of Wandering Paws) and FeatherClan leaders, DogPack, ect..)
[/li][li] You MAY have two medicine cats on one condition; the position of Medicine Cat has been left more then a month.
[/li][li] A cat becomes an apprentice at six moons and a warrior anywhere from twelve to fifteen moons. It is rare cats become elders because no one really wants their cats to retire. It is advised to retire your cat.
[/li][li] When making an apprentice, first check for cats without apprentices. Then ask politely of the member who plays the cat if their cat mentor your apprentice.
[/li][li]It is advised not to make a name start anything to do with jewels or fantasy animals, though it is allowed.
[/li][li] Please wait until your character is accepted before you begin to roleplay.
[/li][li] You had to have read these rules before posting your character's bio.

Mating Rules

[/li][li] You are under no circumstances to have a breeding scene. If you decide to have kits with your character, you will have one thread as a non-graphic romantic meeting or so, and then skip to the point where either the she-cat discovers she is pregnant, or when she has kits. The birth is not to be graphic.
[/li][li] Forbidden Relationships must be approved by one of the admin. Usually we are merciful and allow it, but it is rare.
[/li][li] Apprentices may not have kits.
[/li][li] Leaders are just as likely to have kits. There is no rule to say they can't.
[/li][li] In a litter, you may have no more then six kits. It is rare that six kits are born. Any more then six and some will die.

Notes About The Clans

FlameClan:[/b]
Flameclan cats are strong, hard muscled and often quite large. They are adept to hunting in the undergrowth of the forest and train using their weight and strength as their main points of attack. Flameclan cats reside in mainly a bushy forest with birch, maple, cedar and a few pine. Flameclan cats are noble and wise.

MountainClan
Mountainclan cats are fair-built cats, lean but strong and adept to hunting in the rough, rocky terrain. Mountainclan cats train to manipulate their surroundings, and the best places to immobilize a cat from pressing on it's body. Often these techniques are not taught to new apprentices. Mountainclan cats reside in a thin forest filled mainly with rocks, scattered pine, birch and poplar. Mountainclan territory is located at the base of Destiny Mountain. Mountainclan cats generally are good natured and mean well.

CloudClan
Cloudclan cats are lean, and small, who know how to use the water to project the illusion that they are at another place. CloudClan cats are adapted to hunt fish in swamps and marshes. Cloudclan cats rely on speed and endurence. Cloudclan territory is located in the misty part of the forest. Cloudclan cats are the ones who believe the strongest in Starclan and are quite 'religious' in many ways.

StormClan
Stormclan cats are well built cats which are adapted to fighting in open space - such as under the tall pine and cedar trees in their territory. Stormclan cats feast on prey such as forest rabbit, mice, vole and small birds. They reside in the tall pine and cedar trees adjacent to Flameclan forest. Stormclan cats are also shady and mysterious, doing what they can to gain power.

FeatherClan
Featherclan cats are a mixture of the cats described in the previous clans. Featherclan cats can be large, small, lean, strong and well built. It depends on which part of the forest they are from. Featherclan cats adopt bird names (Eagle, Owl, Falcon, Sparrow ETC.) and have no definate territory. They wander the forest freely, gypsies of Destiny Mountain.

Loners[/u]
Loners wander the territories, sometimes in groups and often alone. Loners sometimes abide by clan rules, and sometimes don't. Most of the time they keep out of other cats' ways, and are normally quite quiet.

Rogues
These cats are sneaky, ambitious and intelligent. Rogues reside in the alleys of twoleg place, planning their evil layouts for the forest domination in secret. Rogues are also a mix of the clans above, and are crafty in their ways of fighting.

Kittypets
Naive but intelligent, Kittypets live a luxurious life. Kittypets come in diffrent colors and breedss, born in captivity and rarely ever setting paw in the forest. These pampered pets live their life, sometimes wondering what it is like out in the forest but just don't have the courage to go and look.

DogPack
The resident group of dogs in the forest. Normally, these dogs are friendly and are on nice terms with the clans. Dogpack was origianlly created when a group of housepets escaped from a kennel to get away from abuse. They have become wild, but remember how they have been hurt by humans. They tend to be wary of twolegs all the same.

TruePack
The other group of dogs. After DogPack formed an alliance with the cats, an evil dog named River formed Truepack in his disgust. Truepack dogs want nothing more then to end this alliance and teach the cats the true meaning of being a wild dog's prey.
