~Intro~

It’s been days since you’ve last eaten, and you stumble across something that looks like a tunnel into a hidden den of some sort. Desperate for a safe place to rest, and too tired to notice the scents of the other cats, you push your way inside. Once you get through, you realize that you’re not alone. Dozens of other cats are busy, and when you next look in front of you, you see a fierce looking she-cat standing in front of you.
“Welcome traveler. I am OrchardStar, and this is my clan. You look tired. You may rest here, if you would like.” Her tail flicks back and forth. “We will cause you no harm, as long as you do not give us a reason to. Who knows, maybe you’ll decide to stay with us. We are always looking for new members” Another cat, a tom, walks over to you and the she-cat. “My warrior here will show you around and make sure you eat. Come and find me if you have any questions” The she-cat pads away, leaving you with the tom.

~Territory~

OrchardClan is located in a large forest mostly of large pine and oak trees. There is also a river with a very powerful waterfall. The area around the waterfall is good for collecting herbs and such. There is a clearing in the trees not far from camp where the apprentices train, and if you follow the path of the river, you’ll come across a large open space in the trees with rocks covering the ground, huge flat ones perfect for laying out and sunning yourself. Brambles also grow on one edge of this clearing, which the cats use to protect their camp and dens.

~Camp~

The leader's den which is a small cave right next to a tall pine tree, has room for only two cats inside it.

The warrior's den is a big cave on the other side of the leader's den, it has room for a lot of cats in it, and in an area of camp where room can be added if needed.

The apprentice's den is on the other side of the leader's den before you get to the warrior's den and right next to the nursery. It is a cave just a little bit smaller then the warriors den.

The nursery is right next to the warrior's den and apprentice's den. It is one of the safest places in camp.
The elder's den and Medicine cat den are in a linked cave on the other side of the OrchardClan camp.

~Mooncave~

The Mooncave is a cave not far from camp where clan leaders goes to get there 9 lives, and where medicine cats go to consult with StarClan.

~Prey~

Mice, Voles, the occasinal rabbit, birds, and other small woodland creatures.

~Possible Threats~

Foxes, badgers, and the occasional dog.

~Ceremonies~

Appointing a Deputy: "I say these words before the body of (name of former deputy), that the spirits of our warrior ancestors may hear and approve of my choice. The new deputy of (name of Clan) will be (warrior's name)!


Warrior 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).



Mentor/Apprentice 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 on to you.
Leader:"(Mentor), it is now your time for an apprentice. You will be mentor to (Apprentice)."
Mentor walks out of the crowd. Apprentice goes up to meet the mentor.
Leader:"(Mentor), the whole Clan knows your (reasons to have an apprentice, such as courage or loyalty). Do your best to pass on these qualities on to (Apprentice)."

Dying Apprentice Ceremony: Leader: I ask my warrior ancestors to look down on this apprentice. (He/She) has learned the warrior code and given up (his/her) life in the service of (his/her) Clan. Let StarClan receive (him/her) as a warrior. (He/She) will be known as (new name).

~Battle Moves~

Back Kick - Explosive surprise move to catch opponent from behind. Judge opponent's distance from you carefully, then lash out with your back legs, taking all weight on your front paws.

Belly Rake - A fight-stopper. Slice with unsheathed claws against the soft flesh of the opponent's belly. If you're pinned down, the belly rake quickly puts you back into control.

Front Paw Blow - Frontal attack. Bring your front paw down hard on your opponent's head. Claws sheathed.

Front Paw Strike/Forepaw Slash - Frontal attack. Slice downward with your front paw at the face or body of your opponent.

Killing Bite - A death blow to the back of the neck. Quick and silent and sometimes considered dishonorable. Used only as a last resort.

Leap-and-hold - Ideal for a small cat facing a larger opponent. Spring onto opponent's back and grip with unsheathed claws. Now you are beyond the range of the opponent's paws and in position to inflict severe body wounds. A group of apprentices can defeat a large and dangerous warrior in this way. Watch for the drop-and-roll counter move, and try to jump free before you get squashed.

Partner Fighting - Warriors who have trained and fought together will often fall instinctively into a defensive position, each protecting each other's back while fending off an opponent on either side. Slashing, clawing, and leaping together, battle pairs can be a whirlwind of danger for attackers.

Play Dead - Effective in a tight situation, such as when you are pinned. Stop struggling and go limp. When your opponent relaxes their grip, thinking you are defeated, push yourself up explosively. This will throw off an unwary opponent and put you in attacking position.

Scruff Shake - Secure a strong teeth grip in the scruff of your opponents neck; then shake violently until he or she is too rattled to fight back. Most effective against rats, who are small enough to throw. A strong throw will stun or kill them.

Tail Yank - Grab your opponent's tail and yank it with such force your opponent is thrown off balance.

Teeth Grip - Target your opponent's extremities- the legs, tail, scruff or ears- and sink in your teeth and hold. This move is similar to the leap-and-hold except your claws remain free to fight.

Upright Lock - Final, crushing move on already weakened opponent. Rear up on back legs and bring weight down on opponent. If opponent does the same, wrestle and flip him under you. This makes you vulnerable to the belly rake, so it takes great strength and speed.

Half-Turn Belly Rake - Turn onto your side, slip under the opponent's belly, rake it with your claws, then swiftly turn back onto all fours out from under your opponent.

Badger Defense: Leap over opponent, turn on your back legs and bite opponent's leg. Used only when fighting badgers.

Duck and Twist: Simple defensive move. The cat ducks then twists around, rolling over onto their back, and then springs to their paws.

Jump and pin: Complicated move. Leap backwards, and bounce off the wall. With precise accuracy, land on the cat.

Name:Pantherfrost
Description:Lean, muscular, black-furred tom with faint silver streaks on his muzzle and paws. His fur is quite glossy and short, but there are scars from previous battles in his youth. His eyes are an eerie yellow, but they are filled with a a warrior's spirit.
Personality: Pantherfrost is a tom that has seen his fair share of battles. Naturally, he refuses to give up on the fact that he may be more aged than the warriors of the clan. In fact, he won't hesitate to set a younger cat in its place if they make any forms of age jokes around him. He is very proud and considers himself to be relatively traditional, so of course this can also annoy other cats if he finds himself in the mood to talk of some kind of fight he had been in as an apprentice. Still, he tries to assure others that his choices and decisions are for the good of the clan.
Rank:Warrior
Crush:Open
Mate:N/A
History:When he was younger, he had met a loner she-cat and naturally had kits with her. A bad leaf-bare hit, and he went out to search for his mate. He only found his daughter, Raven, so he took her into the clan, and is naturally overprotective of his only offspring.
Other:I am Accepted

Name:Willowleap
Description:A mottled gray she-cat with mitted white paws and a distinctive white patch over the right side of her face. She has light amber eyes. Willowleap has unusually long legs that may be thought of as elegant.
Personality:She is clumsy and rather uncoordinated on her own. he behaves in a curious, almost childish manner, and is able to open up to nearly anyone; however, she does have the tendency to be a little too honest on some topics, which may not be appreciated by her Clanmates.
Rank:Warrior

~Intro~

It’s been days since you’ve last eaten, and you stumble across something that looks like a tunnel into a hidden den of some sort. Desperate for a safe place to rest, and too tired to notice the scents of the other cats, you push your way inside. Once you get through, you realize that you’re not alone. Dozens of other cats are busy, and when you next look in front of you, you see a fierce looking she-cat standing in front of you.
“Welcome traveler. I am OrchardStar, and this is my clan. You look tired. You may rest here, if you would like.” Her tail flicks back and forth. “We will cause you no harm, as long as you do not give us a reason to. Who knows, maybe you’ll decide to stay with us. We are always looking for new members” Another cat, a tom, walks over to you and the she-cat. “My warrior here will show you around and make sure you eat. Come and find me if you have any questions” The she-cat pads away, leaving you with the tom.

~Territory~

OrchardClan is located in a large forest mostly of large pine and oak trees. There is also a river with a very powerful waterfall. The area around the waterfall is good for collecting herbs and such. There is a clearing in the trees not far from camp where the apprentices train, and if you follow the path of the river, you’ll come across a large open space in the trees with rocks covering the ground, huge flat ones perfect for laying out and sunning yourself. Brambles also grow on one edge of this clearing, which the cats use to protect their camp and dens.

~Camp~

The leader's den which is a small cave right next to a tall pine tree, has room for only two cats inside it.

The warrior's den is a big cave on the other side of the leader's den, it has room for a lot of cats in it, and in an area of camp where room can be added if needed.

The apprentice's den is on the other side of the leader's den before you get to the warrior's den and right next to the nursery. It is a cave just a little bit smaller then the warriors den.

The nursery is right next to the warrior's den and apprentice's den. It is one of the safest places in camp.
The elder's den and Medicine cat den are in a linked cave on the other side of the OrchardClan camp.

~Mooncave~

The Mooncave is a cave not far from camp where clan leaders goes to get there 9 lives, and where medicine cats go to consult with StarClan.

~Prey~

Mice, Voles, the occasinal rabbit, birds, and other small woodland creatures.

~Possible Threats~

Foxes, badgers, and the occasional dog.

~Rules~

-Follow Forum rules

-If you have a more important role, you must be more active then an average member, as characters in power will be needed for many things.

-Do not kill another user's cat without permission from the owner of the cat.

-You can only RP your cats unless another user has given you permission to RP with theirs.

-You can not mentor your own characters. this way, it allows more interaction between clan members

Appointing a Deputy: "I say these words before the body of (name of former deputy), that the spirits of our warrior ancestors may hear and approve of my choice. The new deputy of (name of Clan) will be (warrior's name)!


Warrior 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).



Mentor/Apprentice 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 on to you.
Leader:"(Mentor), it is now your time for an apprentice. You will be mentor to (Apprentice)."
Mentor walks out of the crowd. Apprentice goes up to meet the mentor.
Leader:"(Mentor), the whole Clan knows your (reasons to have an apprentice, such as courage or loyalty). Do your best to pass on these qualities on to (Apprentice)."

Dying Apprentice Ceremony: Leader: I ask my warrior ancestors to look down on this apprentice. (He/She) has learned the warrior code and given up (his/her) life in the service of (his/her) Clan. Let StarClan receive (him/her) as a warrior. (He/She) will be known as (new name).

~Battle Moves~

Back Kick - Explosive surprise move to catch opponent from behind. Judge opponent's distance from you carefully, then lash out with your back legs, taking all weight on your front paws.

Belly Rake - A fight-stopper. Slice with unsheathed claws against the soft flesh of the opponent's belly. If you're pinned down, the belly rake quickly puts you back into control.

Front Paw Blow - Frontal attack. Bring your front paw down hard on your opponent's head. Claws sheathed.

Front Paw Strike/Forepaw Slash - Frontal attack. Slice downward with your front paw at the face or body of your opponent.

Killing Bite - A death blow to the back of the neck. Quick and silent and sometimes considered dishonorable. Used only as a last resort.

Leap-and-hold - Ideal for a small cat facing a larger opponent. Spring onto opponent's back and grip with unsheathed claws. Now you are beyond the range of the opponent's paws and in position to inflict severe body wounds. A group of apprentices can defeat a large and dangerous warrior in this way. Watch for the drop-and-roll counter move, and try to jump free before you get squashed.

Partner Fighting - Warriors who have trained and fought together will often fall instinctively into a defensive position, each protecting each other's back while fending off an opponent on either side. Slashing, clawing, and leaping together, battle pairs can be a whirlwind of danger for attackers.

Play Dead - Effective in a tight situation, such as when you are pinned. Stop struggling and go limp. When your opponent relaxes their grip, thinking you are defeated, push yourself up explosively. This will throw off an unwary opponent and put you in attacking position.

Scruff Shake - Secure a strong teeth grip in the scruff of your opponents neck; then shake violently until he or she is too rattled to fight back. Most effective against rats, who are small enough to throw. A strong throw will stun or kill them.

Tail Yank - Grab your opponent's tail and yank it with such force your opponent is thrown off balance.

Teeth Grip - Target your opponent's extremities- the legs, tail, scruff or ears- and sink in your teeth and hold. This move is similar to the leap-and-hold except your claws remain free to fight.

Upright Lock - Final, crushing move on already weakened opponent. Rear up on back legs and bring weight down on opponent. If opponent does the same, wrestle and flip him under you. This makes you vulnerable to the belly rake, so it takes great strength and speed.

Half-Turn Belly Rake - Turn onto your side, slip under the opponent's belly, rake it with your claws, then swiftly turn back onto all fours out from under your opponent.

Badger Defense: Leap over opponent, turn on your back legs and bite opponent's leg. Used only when fighting badgers.

Duck and Twist: Simple defensive move. The cat ducks then twists around, rolling over onto their back, and then springs to their paws.

Jump and pin: Complicated move. Leap backwards, and bounce off the wall. With precise accuracy, land on the cat.

(We may start....)

Patherfrost sleepily woke up,blinking his eerie yellow eyes open.It was Leafbare,with snow everywhere.The tom stood up,stretching out.He looked around,slightly tired.Patherfrost left the Warrior's den,his paws sinking in the snow.He sat down,looking to see if anyone else was awake.

Willowleap raced through the forest,fresh-kill in her jaws.She exhaled,her breath being visible in the air.She ran through the Camp Entrance,and started heading towards the food pile.After setting the kill in the pile,she noticed that Pantherfrost was up.Willowleap ambled over,and sat next to him.

[Shadow]

Cursestar awoke in her den.She stretched and started to call patrols.But letting her deputy take care of the other two.
"Patherfrost Me and Willowleap will do the dawn patrol while Shadowstep takes care of the rest!"Cursestar waits by the camp entrance

Pantherfrost muttered an 'Hello' to Willowleap before walking over to the entrance.He licked his paws as he waited for Willowleap to come over.His eerie yellow eyes looked all over camp.

Willowleap followed over,smiling.She tripped and fell face first into the snow.Like an child,she stood back up,laughing.She ran over,smiling.

[Hallowed Echo]

Echofrost walked out of the warriors den. He walked over to Cursestar, "May I join your patrol?" He asked, before turning towards Willowleap and Pantherfrost, "Quite chilly isn't it?" He said jokingly.

[Fallpotato]

Shadow step went to echo frost. "Echo frost you will be out hunting with me. And you" he flicked his tail to a random cat.

[Shadow]

Echofrost walked out of the warriors den. He walked over to Cursestar, "May I join your patrol?" He asked, before turning towards Willowleap and Pantherfrost, "Quite chilly isn't it?" He said jokingly.
Cursestar meowed "Then lets go."She said breaking into a run over to the borders with the natural world (since I'm guessing they don't have other clans next to them)

[Fallpotato]

Shadow step mowed you guys go over to the mountains we will go over to the lake. They nodded and the hunting patrol went out.

[SIlverheart_the_Warrior]

Cursestar meowed "Then lets go."She said breaking into a run over to the borders with the natural world (since I'm guessing they don't have other clans next to them)
(Well I am going to make them .....I'll start working on it in Google docs)

Patherfrost followed,a serious look on his face.They were heading the borders of their clan.

Willowleap tripped many times as they ran,so she was the slowest.And the loudest,giggling like an child.

Shadow step went to echo frost. "Echo frost you will be out hunting with me. And you" he flicked his tail to a random cat.

Echofrost turned to Shadowstep, "Okay. I'll meet you at the entrance." He said and walked towards the entrance of the camp.

Cursestar glared at Willowleap to be quiet and started to remark the borders
(Okie Dokie!)

Pantherstep helped Cursestar remark the borders,glancing over at Willowleap.

Willowleap looked down,and sat down.

Willowleap looked down,and sat down.
Cursestar nodded her thanks

[FOXXRR]

Nightshade came out of the medicine cave and looked around, breathing in the fresh air. 'Another great day' he thought, stretching.

[Shadow]

Me and Silverheart_the_warrior are currently working on other clans,so we probably won't be rp a lot,I will tell you when we are done)

[FOXXRR]

Nightshade looked in the herbs store to see what he was missing... "Hmm... I'm a little short on Horsetail" He mumbled to himself, and padded out of the storage and into the forest to find horsetail.

[SIlverheart_the_Warrior]

"A bit..odd for them.." Patherfrost replied quietly.He glanced over to Willowleap,who was skipping along happily and tripping a few times."She is very childish..."Pantherleap said,pointing at the mottled she-cat with his tail.

"A bit..odd for them.." Patherfrost replied quietly.He glanced over to Willowleap,who was skipping along happily and tripping a few times."She is very childish..."Pantherleap said,pointing at the mottled she-cat with his tail.

She nodded "Yes sometimes I think that ____star made a wrong decision to make her a warrior,she still acts like a apprentice."Cursestar meowed.

Pantherfrost walked out into the clearing,only to become stuck in the snow at te entrance to the Warrior's Den.

[Fallpotato]

Shadowstep growled at the heavy snow. He jumped from tree to tree until he came to a frozen lake. He sat down near it.

[Shadow]

Cursestar hissed at the cold snow under her pads.She mostly blended in,other then her dark and and grey stripes.She then yowled as she got swollowed up in the snow.She was berried under it.It gave out under her paws.You could only see her ear tips,but slightly

Panther frost tried getting over,before finally getting to her.He pulled her up by her scruff.

[Fallpotato]

Shadow step scraped at the ice. He closed his eyes and thought about how it was before he was deputy. Unimportant useless. He was fading away slowly. He fell asleep on the frozen lake.

[Shadow]

Cursestar dangled from Pantherfrosts mouth still in shock "Th-thanks.""She meowed "You can let me go now.I won't sink again."she meowed still in grasp of Pantherfrost,she could not move because he had her scruff

"Mm."He set her down on an place with more shallow snow.

Willowleap walked out into the snow,sneezing a few times.

[ConfusedCas]

(Which spots are open?)

[Shadow]

"Mm."He set her down on an place with more shallow snow.

Willowleap walked out into the snow,sneezing a few times.
Cursestar nodded her thanks and went to the fresh kill pile.

[SIlverheart_the_Warrior]

Cursestar nodded her thanks and went to the fresh kill pile.
Pantherfrost nodded,as if to say 'Welcome'.

Willowleap didn't run around in thesnow as she might have done yesterday night.She didn't even jump into the snow.The she-cat sneezed a few more times and sat down.

[Shadow]

Cursestar ate a sparrow

[Fallpotato]

Shadowstep awoke on the lake. He groaned and got up and slowly padded to camp. He honestly didn't want to go back to camp. He decided to stay out and act like he was missing. He ran far from the camp and to a cave and ate a mouse he just killed.

[Shadow]

Cursestar looked around camp"Where is our deputy?"She meowed loud enough for everyone to hear

[ConfusedCas]

(I thought this was Semi-Literate...?)

[SIlverheart_the_Warrior]

Cursestar ate a sparrow
Patherfrost sat down,looking around.It seemed many other cats were having problems.One odd thing he saw was Willowleapnot playing in the snow.She always played in snow.

[Shadow]

Cursestar noticed that too "Huh that's weird.."she said talking mostly to herself

It’s been days since you’ve last eaten, and you stumble across something that looks like a tunnel into a hidden den of some sort. Desperate for a safe place to rest, and too tired to notice the scents of the other cats, you push your way inside. Once you get through, you realize that you’re not alone. Dozens of other cats are busy, and when you next look in front of you, you see a fierce looking she-cat standing in front of you.
“Welcome traveler. I am OrchardStar, and this is my clan. You look tired. You may rest here, if you would like.” Her tail flicks back and forth. “We will cause you no harm, as long as you do not give us a reason to. Who knows, maybe you’ll decide to stay with us. We are always looking for new members” Another cat, a tom, walks over to you and the she-cat. “My warrior here will show you around and make sure you eat. Come and find me if you have any questions” The she-cat pads away, leaving you with the tom.

~Territory~

OrchardClan is located in a large forest mostly of large pine and oak trees. There is also a river with a very powerful waterfall. The area around the waterfall is good for collecting herbs and such. There is a clearing in the trees not far from camp where the apprentices train, and if you follow the path of the river, you’ll come across a large open space in the trees with rocks covering the ground, huge flat ones perfect for laying out and sunning yourself. Brambles also grow on one edge of this clearing, which the cats use to protect their camp and dens.

~Camp~

The leader's den which is a small cave right next to a tall pine tree, has room for only two cats inside it.

The warrior's den is a big cave on the other side of the leader's den, it has room for a lot of cats in it, and in an area of camp where room can be added if needed.

The apprentice's den is on the other side of the leader's den before you get to the warrior's den and right next to the nursery. It is a cave just a little bit smaller then the warriors den.

The nursery is right next to the warrior's den and apprentice's den. It is one of the safest places in camp.
The elder's den and Medicine cat den are in a linked cave on the other side of the OrchardClan camp.

~Mooncave~

The Mooncave is a cave not far from camp where clan leaders goes to get there 9 lives, and where medicine cats go to consult with StarClan.

~Prey~

Mice, Voles, the occasinal rabbit, birds, and other small woodland creatures.

~Possible Threats~

Foxes, badgers, and the occasional dog.

Appointing a Deputy: "I say these words before the body of (name of former deputy), that the spirits of our warrior ancestors may hear and approve of my choice. The new deputy of (name of Clan) will be (warrior's name)!


Warrior 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).



Mentor/Apprentice 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 on to you.
Leader:"(Mentor), it is now your time for an apprentice. You will be mentor to (Apprentice)."
Mentor walks out of the crowd. Apprentice goes up to meet the mentor.
Leader:"(Mentor), the whole Clan knows your (reasons to have an apprentice, such as courage or loyalty). Do your best to pass on these qualities on to (Apprentice)."

Dying Apprentice Ceremony: Leader: I ask my warrior ancestors to look down on this apprentice. (He/She) has learned the warrior code and given up (his/her) life in the service of (his/her) Clan. Let StarClan receive (him/her) as a warrior. (He/She) will be known as (new name).

~Battle Moves~

Back Kick - Explosive surprise move to catch opponent from behind. Judge opponent's distance from you carefully, then lash out with your back legs, taking all weight on your front paws.

Belly Rake - A fight-stopper. Slice with unsheathed claws against the soft flesh of the opponent's belly. If you're pinned down, the belly rake quickly puts you back into control.

Front Paw Blow - Frontal attack. Bring your front paw down hard on your opponent's head. Claws sheathed.

Front Paw Strike/Forepaw Slash - Frontal attack. Slice downward with your front paw at the face or body of your opponent.

Killing Bite - A death blow to the back of the neck. Quick and silent and sometimes considered dishonorable. Used only as a last resort.

Leap-and-hold - Ideal for a small cat facing a larger opponent. Spring onto opponent's back and grip with unsheathed claws. Now you are beyond the range of the opponent's paws and in position to inflict severe body wounds. A group of apprentices can defeat a large and dangerous warrior in this way. Watch for the drop-and-roll counter move, and try to jump free before you get squashed.

Partner Fighting - Warriors who have trained and fought together will often fall instinctively into a defensive position, each protecting each other's back while fending off an opponent on either side. Slashing, clawing, and leaping together, battle pairs can be a whirlwind of danger for attackers.

Play Dead - Effective in a tight situation, such as when you are pinned. Stop struggling and go limp. When your opponent relaxes their grip, thinking you are defeated, push yourself up explosively. This will throw off an unwary opponent and put you in attacking position.

Scruff Shake - Secure a strong teeth grip in the scruff of your opponents neck; then shake violently until he or she is too rattled to fight back. Most effective against rats, who are small enough to throw. A strong throw will stun or kill them.

Tail Yank - Grab your opponent's tail and yank it with such force your opponent is thrown off balance.

Teeth Grip - Target your opponent's extremities- the legs, tail, scruff or ears- and sink in your teeth and hold. This move is similar to the leap-and-hold except your claws remain free to fight.

Upright Lock - Final, crushing move on already weakened opponent. Rear up on back legs and bring weight down on opponent. If opponent does the same, wrestle and flip him under you. This makes you vulnerable to the belly rake, so it takes great strength and speed.

Half-Turn Belly Rake - Turn onto your side, slip under the opponent's belly, rake it with your claws, then swiftly turn back onto all fours out from under your opponent.

Badger Defense: Leap over opponent, turn on your back legs and bite opponent's leg. Used only when fighting badgers.

Duck and Twist: Simple defensive move. The cat ducks then twists around, rolling over onto their back, and then springs to their paws.

Jump and pin: Complicated move. Leap backwards, and bounce off the wall. With precise accuracy, land on the cat.

Name: Brokenheart
Description: A small and nimble black Tom with dark Amber eyes, and long, sleek fur.
Personality: His name says everything. His heart has been broken so many times he seems numb and cold. He does not forgive, and he does not forget. He is as hard and cold as mid winter ice. But underneath that is a storm of hate and anger.
Rank: Warrior.
Crush: NONE.
Mate: None.
History: Brokenheart was once a joyful Tom called Brightpaw. He loved his best freind, who he had a crush on deeply, and when he was rejected he grew sadder. But he still looked for a partner and soon met a spunky she cat. She did worse. She led him on, making it seem as though she cared. But she really loved another Tom who was Brightpaws best freind. They deserted him, leaving him cold and bitter. One day he tried to defeat a badger and take his own life, but luckily, the medicine cat managed to find him. The leader before Orchidstar was harsh and, when performing the dying apprentice ceremony named him Brokenheart. He survived and is still broken.
