Introduction

Burnt trees were everywhere the eye could see; some burned down to their stumps while others were simply charred, but all contributed to the effect of desolation. Black ash lay in a thin covering, swirling up under your paws as you trek through. You pad onward, exploring the life-barren landscape- the forest seemed to stretch on infinitely. The tall, ebony remains of the oak trees blotted out the sky and made the ground look as if night had fallen eternally. A feeling of futility settled in your stomach, as it seemed that you would never see the sun's promising brilliance again. After a sorrowful glance over your shoulder, you decided to continue your exploration and padded into the darkness- there was nothing in any direction, but this path must be chosen- hunger's biting pain had already set in, and would not be eased unless you found a prey source. It wasn't long before you could no longer see the light coming from where you'd came from. Worried thoughts ran through your head, and all efforts to push them away were quickly diminished. Too distracted by the terror constantly taunting you, you hadn't noticed the scent of other cats until now; when a strong pine scent washed over you. You whipped around to see a pure black cat with golden eyes staring down at you. Those haunting eyes held so much in them, but the first thing you registered- and the most prominently displayed, was the unmistakable gleam of blood lust. You jumped back quickly, the fur bristling along your spine in a weak attempt to show dominance. "W-Who are you?!" You asked, still in a state of shock. The cat's voice was sharp and commanding. "You shouldn't be here. This is a cold, unforgiving place and no cat should ever have to go through what lies in these woods." The stranger looked around, with a flash of fear in their eyes, though quickly masked. You noticed a large scar running across the back of the cats neck and wondered of the story behind it. "Why do you say that?" You asked out of curiosity. The reply was quick. "The Clan that lives here is barbaric. There is no hesitation to kill here. Any cats outside of their Clan are made into their filthy servants. Only the strongest survive in these woods. All others will surely perish." They looked around quickly yet again. You thought for a moment and they stared you down, trying to drive the message home. "I have warned you, but it is your own choice whether you continue or not..." They stared at you, waiting to see what you'd do next...



Ranks, Customs, and Traditions

Of course, NightClan has the same ceremonies as in the majority of Clans. The scripts are unnecessary for the normal ceremonies, but others, exclusive to NightClan's customs, must be known by Clan members.

The first of which is the Battle of Succession. This is a sacred tradition, taking place only in a few situations: 1.) The death of a leader: the current deputy temporarily steps up to the position of leader. Next, he/she summons all cats for a Clan meeting, and calls for all cats with ambition, dedication, and Clan honor to step forward so that they may compete for the position of leader. The current deputy then assembles the volunteers, and joins their ranks. All competitors touch tails, the cat equivalent of shaking hands, and engage in combat to the death in front of their Clanmates. Once the competition is narrowed down to two final cats, the fight continues, but only until one gains dominance, the battle ends without a final kill. The winner becomes the new leader, but the second strongest has still earned the honor of survival, and takes the position of deputy. 2.) In the case the deputy's death, the same procedure follows, however, the winner will assume the deputy's position, and the second place cat will become the Attack Leader.

The second tradition is the Marking of Servants. In the case that the Clan leader believes that a warrior has done a great service to the Clan, the said warrior will be allowed to select a prisoner to be kept as his/her personal servant. The warrior and the prisoner will be brought before the Clan to perform the Marking of Servants, in which the warrior will give the servant a wound that will become a scar that will bond the two together, showing that the servant belong to his/her master. From this time until death, the servant will continue to be connected to their master.


NightClan has the established ranks of any normal Clan that you would find. However, there are also unique statuses in the clan as well.

Leader: The leader is the director of the Clan, in charge of keeping it's members in order and making sure that everything runs smoothly.

Deputy: The deputy is the one the cat that organizes the hunting patrols, as well as the leader's main adviser in important decisions. The deputy is the leader's second in command.

Medicine Cat: The medicine cat is in charge of healing the Clan's wounded warriors, helping queens in kit birth, and easing the pain of elders.

Medicine Cat Apprentice: The medicine cat apprentice's job is to assist in healing the sick and wounded. He/she learns of the different types of herbs used as medicines from his/her mentor.

Attack Leaders: This cats is a highly respected warrior who leads the attack squad for attacks that is commanded by the Leader or Deputy. He/she plans attack details and leads the Clan into battle with nearby rogues, loners, or Clans.

Ambush Leaders: This cat is a highly respected strategist who leads the ambush squad to ambush and capture targets who have been posing a threat to NightClan. The ambush leader also organizes raids on other outsiders.

Warriors: Warriors are the cats that make up the attack squad. Other duties of a NightClan warrior include hunting for themselves and for their superiors in ranking, patrolling borders, and guarding the captured prisoners.

Strategist: Strategists are the cats that make up the ambush squad. They also stalk and capture cats that venture to close to the territory, and they also keep records on all the cat known be live in, around the clans territories including other clan's cats.

Servants: Servants were once prisoners but were freed under the agreement that the prisoner would be under control by a designated Clan cat. Servants have no rights and must obey their master. Punishments may be inflicted upon servants who go against their master's will.

Prisoners: Prisoners are captured outsider cats or Clan cats that the leader or deputy have felt committed a great sin against the Clan. Any female prisoner must allow any male cat mate with them.

Nurturers/Kit Raisers: Nurturers are she-cats specially designated to the care and raising of kits. Instead of their mothers raising them, Nurturers take their place so that the she cats can continue to serve the Clan as soon as possible. Kits are weaned off of milk as early as they can be, so that their mother can return to her normal duties. Clan over kin, as the saying goes.

Apprentices: Warrior Apprentices are juvenile cats training to become a warriors. Kits become apprentices the day after they are deemed strong enough to handle training. Ages vary between kits, but no kit start their training after five moons old. Kits not strong enough by the age of six moons are exiled.

Strategist Apprentices: Strategist Apprentices are cats training to become a strategist. The method of determining the age of apprenticing is the same with Warrior Apprentices.

Executioners: Executioners are cats appointed by the leader, drawn from the ranks of both strategists and normal warriors. Their task is to execute cats that have committed injustices against the Clan, or are seen as threats to the safety of high ranking cats.


» RULES


CLAN RULES

1. For every wrongdoing committed by any member of the Clan, they will be given "marks" as reminder that mistakes are not tolerated. These marks are in the form of scars alongside the cat's flank or back. After five marks, a cat is sentenced to be executed. All execution are carried out at the fallen tree, and by tradition, take place at sunrise the morning after the execution order is given.

2. In a traditional execution, a cat is given a chance to fight for both their honor and their right to their life- which can only be achieved through a battle with the appointed executioner. If the cat that is sent to be executed defeats the executioner by killing them, they are spared their life, and given a position of decent respect and trust.

3. After a cat defeats an executioner, they become a full fledged member of the clan. Now they are as equals to any Clan-born cat that has committed no crimes.

4. Any cat they consider too weak to thrive in the Clan is too heavy a burden to support in a land that is already with a lack of prey. They are put down by eating Death Berries or are exiled from Clan territory. This punishment depends on the cat's ranking.

5. Everyone must supply food for themselves, with the following exceptions: prisoners, who are given daily rations, and are not to be trusted to go out and hunt. Nurturers are preoccupied with raising young, and are given a sufficient amount of prey to keep them healthy enough to continue their job. The deputy and leader have other Clan member hunt for them.

6. To kill without reason is frowned upon, but not considered a crime in most scenarios. To kill with fair reason is a feat of both physical and mental strength, and earns you respect.

7. Fallen warriors will be mourned for one night, before being buried outside of camp. It is Clan lore that their spirits will bring the Camp protection.

8. Honor both the Dark Forest and StarClan. Both are equal afterlives. Dark Forest dream visiting is an often occurrence, as apprentices dedicated to their Clan will train day and night to serve it well. Those with DF and NightClan mentors tend to graduate into positions of power. To speak with StarClan or The Dark Forest, the Cave of Midnight would be the proper place. However, The Great Fire has destroyed the place of contact, therefore dream visiting is the last connection between NightClan and their ancestors.

ROLEPLAY RULES

1. I expect all members of this roleplay to be active. Please try to be on the thread two-three times a week. And by being on the thread, I mean a full roleplay post, not just "Hi, I'm here."

2. Please, no kit-_____ ing. I know this rule is a bit unnecessary, but I just want to make it clear. People worked to create the characters, and just taking them away without permission is not right.

3. No spamming, either. " ____, please come to _____" is completely fine, but other than that, no advertising or other spams.

4. This roleplay is semi-advanced. I expect about a paragraph per post, but I understand if there is not much to respond to, because that is not your fault. I would like quality over quantity, so a well written paragraph is better than three paragraphs of nonsense.

5. This roleplay is about evil type cats, so yes, there will be blood. However, don't overdue it. If you can imagine the Clan as a movie, try to keep its contents PG, maybe a tiny bit over that is okay. We don't need overly detailed posts about violence, and romance especially. This is a kid's forums after all.

6. Thank you very much for taking your time to read these rules! Please put "waffles" in the "other" category of your joining form!



TERRITORY

The cats of NightClan reside under what once was a thick canopy of towering, majestic oak trees. Since then, a fire has raged through the forest, causing great damage and destruction to the once thriving forest. Even still, new life has grown against the odds, and between the undamaged oaks, burnt trees, and new growth, the thick foliage towers above the cat, blocking out the sky, and little sunlight gets through. Therefore, warriors have adapted to see better in the darkness. They call the continuous lack of sun the "eternal night". A fallen tree sits in the center of the camp, which serves as the place where the leader makes announcements. There are four dens of mud and rock that previously were fox dens lining the camp, and one den sits on top of the farthest-left one. Left to right, these are the warrior den, the medicine cat's den, the nursery, and the deputy's den, and the one on top is the Leader's Den. The ground is solid, trodden, ash-covered, and muddy. There is a thick smoke scent from a giant stone Twoleg nest that makes a lot of smoke, here, so it's easy for cats to sneak up on each other because they cannot smell one another. The foliage makes it impossible to see a fox-length in front of you, so any cat nearing the border has no idea they are being stalked. There is also a handy amount of ash on the ground and burnt trees to the point where the cats' paws are black as the scorched land underfoot. On the outskirts of the NightClan camp is the prisoner's den- a bramble-surrounded pit, always with guards stationed around it.

Strategist Apprentices: Strategist Apprentices are cats training to become a strategist. The method of determining the age of apprenticing is the same with Warrior Apprentices.

Executioners: Executioners are cats appointed by the leader, drawn from the ranks of both strategists and normal warriors. Their task is to execute cats that have committed injustices against the Clan, or are seen as threats to the safety of high ranking cats.


» RULES


CLAN RULES

1. For every wrongdoing committed by any member of the Clan, they will be given "marks" as reminder that mistakes are not tolerated. These marks are in the form of scars alongside the cat's flank or back. After five marks, a cat is sentenced to be executed. All execution are carried out at the fallen tree, and by tradition, take place at sunrise the morning after the execution order is given.

2. In a traditional execution, a cat is given a chance to fight for both their honor and their right to their life- which can only be achieved through a battle with the appointed executioner. If the cat that is sent to be executed defeats the executioner by killing them, they are spared their life, and given a position of decent respect and trust.

3. After a cat defeats an executioner, they become a full fledged member of the clan. Now they are as equals to any Clan-born cat that has committed no crimes.

4. Any cat they consider too weak to thrive in the Clan is too heavy a burden to support in a land that is already with a lack of prey. They are put down by eating Death Berries or are exiled from Clan territory. This punishment depends on the cat's ranking.

5. Everyone must supply food for themselves, with the following exceptions: prisoners, who are given daily rations, and are not to be trusted to go out and hunt. Nurturers are preoccupied with raising young, and are given a sufficient amount of prey to keep them healthy enough to continue their job. The deputy and leader have other Clan member hunt for them.

6. To kill without reason is frowned upon, but not considered a crime in most scenarios. To kill with fair reason is a feat of both physical and mental strength, and earns you respect.

7. Fallen warriors will be mourned for one night, before being buried outside of camp. It is Clan lore that their spirits will bring the Camp protection.

8. Honor both the Dark Forest and StarClan. Both are equal afterlives. Dark Forest dream visiting is an often occurrence, as apprentices dedicated to their Clan will train day and night to serve it well. Those with DF and NightClan mentors tend to graduate into positions of power. To speak with StarClan or The Dark Forest, the Cave of Midnight would be the proper place. However, The Great Fire has destroyed the place of contact, therefore dream visiting is the last connection between NightClan and their ancestors.

ROLEPLAY RULES

1. I expect all members of this roleplay to be active. Please try to be on the thread two-three times a week. And by being on the thread, I mean a full roleplay post, not just "Hi, I'm here."

2. Please, no kit-_____ ing. I know this rule is a bit unnecessary, but I just want to make it clear. People worked to create the characters, and just taking them away without permission is not right.

3. No spamming, either. " ____, please come to _____" is completely fine, but other than that, no advertising or other spams.

4. This roleplay is semi-advanced. I expect about a paragraph per post, but I understand if there is not much to respond to, because that is not your fault. I would like quality over quantity, so a well written paragraph is better than three paragraphs of nonsense.

5. This roleplay is about evil type cats, so yes, there will be blood. However, don't overdue it. If you can imagine the Clan as a movie, try to keep its contents PG, maybe a tiny bit over that is okay. We don't need overly detailed posts about violence, and romance especially. This is a kid's forums after all.

6. Thank you very much for taking your time to read these rules! Please put "waffles" in the "other" category of your joining form!



TERRITORY

The cats of NightClan reside under what once was a thick canopy of towering, majestic oak trees. Since then, a fire has raged through the forest, causing great damage and destruction to the once thriving forest. Even still, new life has grown against the odds, and between the undamaged oaks, burnt trees, and new growth, the thick foliage towers above the cat, blocking out the sky, and little sunlight gets through. Therefore, warriors have adapted to see better in the darkness. They call the continuous lack of sun the "eternal night". A fallen tree sits in the center of the camp, which serves as the place where the leader makes announcements. There are four dens of mud and rock that previously were fox dens lining the camp, and one den sits on top of the farthest-left one. Left to right, these are the warrior den, the medicine cat's den, the nursery, and the deputy's den, and the one on top is the Leader's Den. The ground is solid, trodden, ash-covered, and muddy. There is a thick smoke scent from a giant stone Twoleg nest that makes a lot of smoke, here, so it's easy for cats to sneak up on each other because they cannot smell one another. The foliage makes it impossible to see a fox-length in front of you, so any cat nearing the border has no idea they are being stalked. There is also a handy amount of ash on the ground and burnt trees to the point where the cats' paws are black as the scorched land underfoot. On the outskirts of the NightClan camp is the prisoner's den- a bramble-surrounded pit, always with guards stationed around it.

SAVE DEPUTY 4 ME

[Shadow]

Introduction

Burnt trees were everywhere the eye could see; some burned down to their stumps while others were simply charred, but all contributed to the effect of desolation. Black ash lay in a thin covering, swirling up under your paws as you trek through. You pad onward, exploring the life-barren landscape- the forest seemed to stretch on infinitely. The tall, ebony remains of the oak trees blotted out the sky and made the ground look as if night had fallen eternally. A feeling of futility settled in your stomach, as it seemed that you would never see the sun's promising brilliance again. After a sorrowful glance over your shoulder, you decided to continue your exploration and padded into the darkness- there was nothing in any direction, but this path must be chosen- hunger's biting pain had already set in, and would not be eased unless you found a prey source. It wasn't long before you could no longer see the light coming from where you'd came from. Worried thoughts ran through your head, and all efforts to push them away were quickly diminished. Too distracted by the terror constantly taunting you, you hadn't noticed the scent of other cats until now; when a strong pine scent washed over you. You whipped around to see a pure black cat with golden eyes staring down at you. Those haunting eyes held so much in them, but the first thing you registered- and the most prominently displayed, was the unmistakable gleam of blood lust. You jumped back quickly, the fur bristling along your spine in a weak attempt to show dominance. "W-Who are you?!" You asked, still in a state of shock. The cat's voice was sharp and commanding. "You shouldn't be here. This is a cold, unforgiving place and no cat should ever have to go through what lies in these woods." The stranger looked around, with a flash of fear in their eyes, though quickly masked. You noticed a large scar running across the back of the cats neck and wondered of the story behind it. "Why do you say that?" You asked out of curiosity. The reply was quick. "The Clan that lives here is barbaric. There is no hesitation to kill here. Any cats outside of their Clan are made into their filthy servants. Only the strongest survive in these woods. All others will surely perish." They looked around quickly yet again. You thought for a moment and they stared you down, trying to drive the message home. "I have warned you, but it is your own choice whether you continue or not..." They stared at you, waiting to see what you'd do next...



Ranks, Customs, and Traditions

Of course, NightClan has the same ceremonies as in the majority of Clans. The scripts are unnecessary for the normal ceremonies, but others, exclusive to NightClan's customs, must be known by Clan members.

The first of which is the Battle of Succession. This is a sacred tradition, taking place only in a few situations: 1.) The death of a leader: the current deputy temporarily steps up to the position of leader. Next, he/she summons all cats for a Clan meeting, and calls for all cats with ambition, dedication, and Clan honor to step forward so that they may compete for the position of leader. The current deputy then assembles the volunteers, and joins their ranks. All competitors touch tails, the cat equivalent of shaking hands, and engage in combat to the death in front of their Clanmates. Once the competition is narrowed down to two final cats, the fight continues, but only until one gains dominance, the battle ends without a final kill. The winner becomes the new leader, but the second strongest has still earned the honor of survival, and takes the position of deputy. 2.) In the case the deputy's death, the same procedure follows, however, the winner will assume the deputy's position, and the second place cat will become the Attack Leader.

The second tradition is the Marking of Servants. In the case that the Clan leader believes that a warrior has done a great service to the Clan, the said warrior will be allowed to select a prisoner to be kept as his/her personal servant. The warrior and the prisoner will be brought before the Clan to perform the Marking of Servants, in which the warrior will give the servant a wound that will become a scar that will bond the two together, showing that the servant belong to his/her master. From this time until death, the servant will continue to be connected to their master.


NightClan has the established ranks of any normal Clan that you would find. However, there are also unique statuses in the clan as well.

Leader: The leader is the director of the Clan, in charge of keeping it's members in order and making sure that everything runs smoothly.

Deputy: The deputy is the one the cat that organizes the hunting patrols, as well as the leader's main adviser in important decisions. The deputy is the leader's second in command.

Medicine Cat: The medicine cat is in charge of healing the Clan's wounded warriors, helping queens in kit birth, and easing the pain of elders.

Medicine Cat Apprentice: The medicine cat apprentice's job is to assist in healing the sick and wounded. He/she learns of the different types of herbs used as medicines from his/her mentor.

Attack Leaders: This cats is a highly respected warrior who leads the attack squad for attacks that is commanded by the Leader or Deputy. He/she plans attack details and leads the Clan into battle with nearby rogues, loners, or Clans.

Ambush Leaders: This cat is a highly respected strategist who leads the ambush squad to ambush and capture targets who have been posing a threat to NightClan. The ambush leader also organizes raids on other outsiders.

Warriors: Warriors are the cats that make up the attack squad. Other duties of a NightClan warrior include hunting for themselves and for their superiors in ranking, patrolling borders, and guarding the captured prisoners.

Strategist: Strategists are the cats that make up the ambush squad. They also stalk and capture cats that venture to close to the territory, and they also keep records on all the cat known be live in, around the clans territories including other clan's cats.

Servants: Servants were once prisoners but were freed under the agreement that the prisoner would be under control by a designated Clan cat. Servants have no rights and must obey their master. Punishments may be inflicted upon servants who go against their master's will.

Prisoners: Prisoners are captured outsider cats or Clan cats that the leader or deputy have felt committed a great sin against the Clan. Any female prisoner must allow any male cat mate with them.

Nurturers/Kit Raisers: Nurturers are she-cats specially designated to the care and raising of kits. Instead of their mothers raising them, Nurturers take their place so that the she cats can continue to serve the Clan as soon as possible. Kits are weaned off of milk as early as they can be, so that their mother can return to her normal duties. Clan over kin, as the saying goes.

Apprentices: Warrior Apprentices are juvenile cats training to become a warriors. Kits become apprentices the day after they are deemed strong enough to handle training. Ages vary between kits, but no kit start their training after five moons old. Kits not strong enough by the age of six moons are exiled.

Strategist Apprentices: Strategist Apprentices are cats training to become a strategist. The method of determining the age of apprenticing is the same with Warrior Apprentices.

Executioners: Executioners are cats appointed by the leader, drawn from the ranks of both strategists and normal warriors. Their task is to execute cats that have committed injustices against the Clan, or are seen as threats to the safety of high ranking cats.

Though she is almost the lowest rank she is always nice to her guards hoping one day they they might find the gut to speak to her even if Sootstar didn't like it. // Gorsestorm is a tough tom who isn't stopped by anyone when he kills. The murderous tom is always in joy when he can sink his dangerous claws into a new victim. Though cats frown at him he truthfully doesn't care. He is shy and kind too though when he doesn't have the urge to kill but it's mostly only with higher ranks and cats he admires or likes. // Blossommist is an interesting she-cat since because of her position as nurturer most cats find her to be weak. She actually is tough at heart and isn't afraid to snap at any cat that gets in her way. Sometimes she wonders why she even got her rank but suspects because they were low of a nurturer when Willowsong became a prisoner.

[Crumbleless]

Sootstar could mentor one of them but he would push them hard.) Yeah that could work then, Brokenpaw can be Sootstar's daughter and the mother is dead. )
Sootstar's yellow eyes opened and the gray and white tom got to his paws paws twitching eagerly for his morning fresh kill. Ever since he had won and became leader all of those moons ago he had ordered a cat to bring him prey in the morning and evening even if they didn't get anything to eat. If no cat brought him prey he would call a meeting and have a cat go to the prisoners den which had been his Willowsong recently.

Willowsong paced her den restlessly eyes bloodshot with the thought of being stuck here and then being taken as a servant for a cat who would cut her to shreds. Not a single cat had come to visit her for what felt as if the longest of times and it tugged at her head to try and speak to oneof the guards. "Had a good day?" She asked the closest cat.

Brokenpaw ran into her fathers den. She started to jump around. "Hi dad." She said hyperly. "Guess what?" She said breathlessly. "I had 5 leaves of catmint today." She said not waiting for him to answer. "I FEEL GREAT!" She hollered at the top of her lungs. "Mintleaf is really angry at me though." She added.

Introduction

Burnt trees were everywhere the eye could see; some burned down to their stumps while others were simply charred, but all contributed to the effect of desolation. Black ash lay in a thin covering, swirling up under your paws as you trek through. You pad onward, exploring the life-barren landscape- the forest seemed to stretch on infinitely. The tall, ebony remains of the oak trees blotted out the sky and made the ground look as if night had fallen eternally. A feeling of futility settled in your stomach, as it seemed that you would never see the sun's promising brilliance again. After a sorrowful glance over your shoulder, you decided to continue your exploration and padded into the darkness- there was nothing in any direction, but this path must be chosen- hunger's biting pain had already set in, and would not be eased unless you found a prey source. It wasn't long before you could no longer see the light coming from where you'd came from. Worried thoughts ran through your head, and all efforts to push them away were quickly diminished. Too distracted by the terror constantly taunting you, you hadn't noticed the scent of other cats until now; when a strong pine scent washed over you. You whipped around to see a pure black cat with golden eyes staring down at you. Those haunting eyes held so much in them, but the first thing you registered- and the most prominently displayed, was the unmistakable gleam of blood lust. You jumped back quickly, the fur bristling along your spine in a weak attempt to show dominance. "W-Who are you?!" You asked, still in a state of shock. The cat's voice was sharp and commanding. "You shouldn't be here. This is a cold, unforgiving place and no cat should ever have to go through what lies in these woods." The stranger looked around, with a flash of fear in their eyes, though quickly masked. You noticed a large scar running across the back of the cats neck and wondered of the story behind it. "Why do you say that?" You asked out of curiosity. The reply was quick. "The Clan that lives here is barbaric. There is no hesitation to kill here. Any cats outside of their Clan are made into their filthy servants. Only the strongest survive in these woods. All others will surely perish." They looked around quickly yet again. You thought for a moment and they stared you down, trying to drive the message home. "I have warned you, but it is your own choice whether you continue or not..." They stared at you, waiting to see what you'd do next...



Ranks, Customs, and Traditions

Of course, NightClan has the same ceremonies as in the majority of Clans. The scripts are unnecessary for the normal ceremonies, but others, exclusive to NightClan's customs, must be known by Clan members.

The first of which is the Battle of Succession. This is a sacred tradition, taking place only in a few situations: 1.) The death of a leader: the current deputy temporarily steps up to the position of leader. Next, he/she summons all cats for a Clan meeting, and calls for all cats with ambition, dedication, and Clan honor to step forward so that they may compete for the position of leader. The current deputy then assembles the volunteers, and joins their ranks. All competitors touch tails, the cat equivalent of shaking hands, and engage in combat to the death in front of their Clanmates. Once the competition is narrowed down to two final cats, the fight continues, but only until one gains dominance, the battle ends without a final kill. The winner becomes the new leader, but the second strongest has still earned the honor of survival, and takes the position of deputy. 2.) In the case the deputy's death, the same procedure follows, however, the winner will assume the deputy's position, and the second place cat will become the Attack Leader.

The second tradition is the Marking of Servants. In the case that the Clan leader believes that a warrior has done a great service to the Clan, the said warrior will be allowed to select a prisoner to be kept as his/her personal servant. The warrior and the prisoner will be brought before the Clan to perform the Marking of Servants, in which the warrior will give the servant a wound that will become a scar that will bond the two together, showing that the servant belong to his/her master. From this time until death, the servant will continue to be connected to their master.


NightClan has the established ranks of any normal Clan that you would find. However, there are also unique statuses in the clan as well.

Leader: The leader is the director of the Clan, in charge of keeping it's members in order and making sure that everything runs smoothly.

Deputy: The deputy is the one the cat that organizes the hunting patrols, as well as the leader's main adviser in important decisions. The deputy is the leader's second in command.

Medicine Cat: The medicine cat is in charge of healing the Clan's wounded warriors, helping queens in kit birth, and easing the pain of elders.

Medicine Cat Apprentice: The medicine cat apprentice's job is to assist in healing the sick and wounded. He/she learns of the different types of herbs used as medicines from his/her mentor.

Attack Leaders: This cats is a highly respected warrior who leads the attack squad for attacks that is commanded by the Leader or Deputy. He/she plans attack details and leads the Clan into battle with nearby rogues, loners, or Clans.

Ambush Leaders: This cat is a highly respected strategist who leads the ambush squad to ambush and capture targets who have been posing a threat to NightClan. The ambush leader also organizes raids on other outsiders.

Warriors: Warriors are the cats that make up the attack squad. Other duties of a NightClan warrior include hunting for themselves and for their superiors in ranking, patrolling borders, and guarding the captured prisoners.

Strategist: Strategists are the cats that make up the ambush squad. They also stalk and capture cats that venture to close to the territory, and they also keep records on all the cat known be live in, around the clans territories including other clan's cats.

Servants: Servants were once prisoners but were freed under the agreement that the prisoner would be under control by a designated Clan cat. Servants have no rights and must obey their master. Punishments may be inflicted upon servants who go against their master's will.

Prisoners: Prisoners are captured outsider cats or Clan cats that the leader or deputy have felt committed a great sin against the Clan. Any female prisoner must allow any male cat mate with them.

Nurturers/Kit Raisers: Nurturers are she-cats specially designated to the care and raising of kits. Instead of their mothers raising them, Nurturers take their place so that the she cats can continue to serve the Clan as soon as possible. Kits are weaned off of milk as early as they can be, so that their mother can return to her normal duties. Clan over kin, as the saying goes.

Apprentices: Warrior Apprentices are juvenile cats training to become a warriors. Kits become apprentices the day after they are deemed strong enough to handle training. Ages vary between kits, but no kit start their training after five moons old. Kits not strong enough by the age of six moons are exiled.

Strategist Apprentices: Strategist Apprentices are cats training to become a strategist. The method of determining the age of apprenticing is the same with Warrior Apprentices.

Executioners: Executioners are cats appointed by the leader, drawn from the ranks of both strategists and normal warriors. Their task is to execute cats that have committed injustices against the Clan, or are seen as threats to the safety of high ranking cats.


» RULES


CLAN RULES

1. For every wrongdoing committed by any member of the Clan, they will be given "marks" as reminder that mistakes are not tolerated. These marks are in the form of scars alongside the cat's flank or back. After five marks, a cat is sentenced to be executed. All execution are carried out at the fallen tree, and by tradition, take place at sunrise the morning after the execution order is given.

2. In a traditional execution, a cat is given a chance to fight for both their honor and their right to their life- which can only be achieved through a battle with the appointed executioner. If the cat that is sent to be executed defeats the executioner by killing them, they are spared their life, and given a position of decent respect and trust.

3. After a cat defeats an executioner, they become a full fledged member of the clan. Now they are as equals to any Clan-born cat that has committed no crimes.

4. Any cat they consider too weak to thrive in the Clan is too heavy a burden to support in a land that is already with a lack of prey. They are put down by eating Death Berries or are exiled from Clan territory. This punishment depends on the cat's ranking.

5. Everyone must supply food for themselves, with the following exceptions: prisoners, who are given daily rations, and are not to be trusted to go out and hunt. Nurturers are preoccupied with raising young, and are given a sufficient amount of prey to keep them healthy enough to continue their job. The deputy and leader have other Clan member hunt for them.

6. To kill without reason is frowned upon, but not considered a crime in most scenarios. To kill with fair reason is a feat of both physical and mental strength, and earns you respect.

7. Fallen warriors will be mourned for one night, before being buried outside of camp. It is Clan lore that their spirits will bring the Camp protection.

8. Honor both the Dark Forest and StarClan. Both are equal afterlives. Dark Forest dream visiting is an often occurrence, as apprentices dedicated to their Clan will train day and night to serve it well. Those with DF and NightClan mentors tend to graduate into positions of power. To speak with StarClan or The Dark Forest, the Cave of Midnight would be the proper place. However, The Great Fire has destroyed the place of contact, therefore dream visiting is the last connection between NightClan and their ancestors.

ROLEPLAY RULES

1. I expect all members of this roleplay to be active. Please try to be on the thread two-three times a week. And by being on the thread, I mean a full roleplay post, not just "Hi, I'm here."

2. Please, no kit-_____ ing. I know this rule is a bit unnecessary, but I just want to make it clear. People worked to create the characters, and just taking them away without permission is not right.

3. No spamming, either. " ____, please come to _____" is completely fine, but other than that, no advertising or other spams.

4. This roleplay is semi-advanced. I expect about a paragraph per post, but I understand if there is not much to respond to, because that is not your fault. I would like quality over quantity, so a well written paragraph is better than three paragraphs of nonsense.

5. This roleplay is about evil type cats, so yes, there will be blood. However, don't overdue it. If you can imagine the Clan as a movie, try to keep its contents PG, maybe a tiny bit over that is okay. We don't need overly detailed posts about violence, and romance especially. This is a kid's forums after all.

6. Thank you very much for taking your time to read these rules! Please put "waffles" in the "other" category of your joining form!



TERRITORY

The cats of NightClan reside under what once was a thick canopy of towering, majestic oak trees. Since then, a fire has raged through the forest, causing great damage and destruction to the once thriving forest. Even still, new life has grown against the odds, and between the undamaged oaks, burnt trees, and new growth, the thick foliage towers above the cat, blocking out the sky, and little sunlight gets through. Therefore, warriors have adapted to see better in the darkness. They call the continuous lack of sun the "eternal night". A fallen tree sits in the center of the camp, which serves as the place where the leader makes announcements. There are four dens of mud and rock that previously were fox dens lining the camp, and one den sits on top of the farthest-left one. Left to right, these are the warrior den, the medicine cat's den, the nursery, and the deputy's den, and the one on top is the Leader's Den. The ground is solid, trodden, ash-covered, and muddy. There is a thick smoke scent from a giant stone Twoleg nest that makes a lot of smoke, here, so it's easy for cats to sneak up on each other because they cannot smell one another. The foliage makes it impossible to see a fox-length in front of you, so any cat nearing the border has no idea they are being stalked. There is also a handy amount of ash on the ground and burnt trees to the point where the cats' paws are black as the scorched land underfoot. On the outskirts of the NightClan camp is the prisoner's den- a bramble-surrounded pit, always with guards stationed around it.

Save me Ambush Leader?!

[Crumbleless]

You choose which one would be best suited to Sootstar)
Sootstar let out a low growl glaring at his mistake of a daughter angrily. The leader hit Brokenpaw to the ground eyes blazing as his claws sunk into her pelt. "Go back to the medicine cat den and stop eating herbs that can save lives!" He let his grip go and backed up a mouse length. Mintwing need's to set her apprentice straight before I send her to the executioner!

Brokenpaw looked up at her father with round eyes. "Bu-but I thought you would care. I've been I apprentice for a moon now and you don't even care." She wailed. All of a sudden she started to break out in tears and bolted to the medicine den. In the flurry of action she ran straight into mintleaf and collapsed in a pitiful crying ball. She was so lost in sadness she didn't even feel the thick blood running down her shoulder.

[Crumbleless]

Sootstar rolled his yellow eyes as he watch ed his daughter dart back to the weaklings den before poking his head out of the den. Serves her right. "Any cat going to get me some prey?" He yowled eyes searching the clearing for a willing enough cat who wasn't as mouse brained as his sister. Its their fault if we she one more prisoner.

[cinder]

Name: Poppyblaze
Age: 37 moons.
Description: She is a long-furred and thick-boned she-cat with a small face and long whiskers- her ears are coned up and are full of fur that helps dust out ash and other particles that may get in her ears. She has long upper eyelashes and her whiskers above her eyes are also long. She has a short, bobbed tail and her left ear is nicked from skirmishes with other prisoners. She has pale amber eyes and her paws are a fade from her charcoal fur to a slightly chocolatey-silky fur, however, if you just look at her it is entirely indistinguishable. Her pelt, if cast into the sun with a strong light, you can see slight tabby markings. She also has a small white blotch on the left side of her muzzle, and her bobbed tail is also white.
Personality: She is a moody individual who can't really pinpoint her true personality- except for me (the creator hahaha). When she is truly showing her personality, she is talkative but definitely not anywhere near shut off. She often displays a shut-off attitude because of her lack of sympathy because of how she's been treated. She has the potential to be a very loving partner, but her rank and her mental instability allows her to portray closed-offness.
Strengths: Because of her ability to work, she has gained a strength in her front legs and jaws. She also has a skill in 'athletics'; stretching, twisting, and speed rather than her strength in her entire body.
Weaknesses: Lacks the ability to stand up for herself, and has a lack of mental strength.
History: As a young she-cat she was ready to be adventurous- outside of NightClan. She would end up aimlessly prowling around the ashy place, away from her parents in hope for a future away from her. She admired her work, as a solo parent, she was great. As a reliable source of parenting and knowledge, not really. She had to learn from her own experience, and she was ready to accept that. She escaped for the last time from her mother's warm embrace and to the forest, swept up at a measly age of only seven moons. When she as able to comprehend her surroundings, she as up in a den with miserable cats, each with some sort of infliction- whether it was a fresh wound or a battle-type scar, they all had their embellishments- and my, they looked half starved! What in the name of Mother's Claw was that? She wanted to make friends, but every chance at trying to make friends only produced enemies that did not want to talk to her. She started to grow up as a solitude and dark she-cat, and soon she was marked as a cat's own- over and over. She went through three different markings before becoming solitude. She had lost that mother's embrace, and began to respect their ways- she became submissive and work heavy, downtrodden and cold. She couldn't soften up, and as her years went up going through the ranks she watched cats of her kind die side-by-side, cats that she never knew but knew very well. She wanted to make a change, but /literally/ everyone didn't agree with her stance. She did nothing and has remained that way since, being a worker for the majority instead of a preacher for the minority.
Other: waffles, boiii

she is also open to being marked if the way calls for it, and she is also open to relationships of any kind! just pm me or something and ill see it out

[Crumbleless]

Willowsong sighed her haunches falling to the floor as she sat. It seemed as if no cat wanted to talk to the prisoner she-cat bit that was only something that most cats didn't do. The tabby's bright gaze swept the prisoner's den before her stomach let out a low growl and she ducked her head in shame. The rations would likely not be coming anytime soon.

[SIlverheart_the_Warrior]

Mintwing laid in her den, quietly sorting herbs. Ugh..She thought, narrowing her eyes at the lack of Catmint. As it was Leaf-bare, and Whitecough and Greencough in the Clan was awful, having not much Catmint was very, very bad.
The silver tabby left her den, heading to the entrance of Camp. She left, her light green eyes blinking as she went through the snow. The she-cat walked to the main place where she got Catmint, to find it was gone, except for a few sprigs. She hadn't taken any since last time she was here, which was about a moon ago. Who took the Catmint? Mintwing thought as she picked up the few sprigs that weren't taken. Most likely Rouges or Loners.. She thought and went back to the Clan.

Robin paw sighed looking at the camp.Her mentor,the leader,was no where to be found.She dragged her paws across the ground to get a mouse.But she was greeted with maggots instead.She let out a yowl of surprise and disgust."EWWWWW!"she hissed poking at the maggot belly mouse. Rushpaw jumped up from her position of bathing in the sun at her sisters yowl.She ran over,almost in three seconds she was over there."What's wro-EWWWW!"she yowled at the sight of the maggot belly mouse,she made gagging sounds and then looked at the rest of the prey "They are all like that!"she hissedRavenpaw padded over to his sisters and looked at the prey pile with disgust "That.Is.Gross."he hissed "We need to tell the leader about this."he said flicking his tail over to his brother.Bluepaw didn't want to go over to his siblings as Ravenpaw signaled him over "I would prefure to stay over here."he said sitting down gagging at the thought of maggots.

Robin paw sighed looking at the camp.Her mentor,the leader,was no where to be found.She dragged her paws across the ground to get a mouse.But she was greeted with maggots instead.She let out a yowl of surprise and disgust."EWWWWW!"she hissed poking at the maggot belly mouse. Rushpaw jumped up from her position of bathing in the sun at her sisters yowl.She ran over,almost in three seconds she was over there."What's wro-EWWWW!"she yowled at the sight of the maggot belly mouse,she made gagging sounds and then looked at the rest of the prey "They are all like that!"she hissedRavenpaw padded over to his sisters and looked at the prey pile with disgust "That.Is.Gross."he hissed "We need to tell the leader about this."he said flicking his tail over to his brother.Bluepaw didn't want to go over to his siblings as Ravenpaw signaled him over "I would prefure to stay over here."he said sitting down gagging at the thought of maggots.
(When more people join they can mentor them, ok?)

Mintwing went back to her den, setting the little bit of Catmint she had gathered in the small pile that was there already. She looked over at Brokenpaw, as if to say 'What's wrong?'. The mute she-cat walked over, concern was in her light green eyes.

Brokenpaw whimpered and turned over revealing the cuts oozing blood. For a normal sized cat it's wouldn't have been bad. But brokenpaw had been born tiny. Even now she looked like a moon old kit.

Mintwing's eyes opened wide. She picked up some Marigold and began chewing it up with Horsetail into a poultice. She spat it out and rubbed it into her wounds. The mute she-cat then tyed some cobwebs around the scatches to stop the bleeding.

Brokenpaw coughed and started to explain everything. From eating the catmint to her fathers attack. She watched her mentors face looking for the anger she had seen in her fathers eyes.

Mintwing nodded; there was no anger on her face. That's why there wasn't much Catmint.. She thought looking back to the Catmint pile, which was still small. The mute she-cat licked her white paws quietly.

Soon, Mintwing actually fell asleep. She purred softly, as for once it wasn't a nightmare for once.

[cinder]

The tabby black furred she-cat glared around after waking up, her immediate reaction was a groan as she felt her stomach reply with an unwarranted groan for food. She looked up, her paws wiping her eyes with another under-appreciative groan because of her position. She stood up and looked at the cats around with a roll of her eyes. She felt like she would keel over and die if she didn't eat, and her stomach protested her thoughts. She shifted her position to standing and walked forward to the mouth of the den, peeking her head out to see if there was anything to do, perhaps she could get a ration faster if she did something, though it was unlikely.

Introduction

Burnt trees were everywhere the eye could see; some burned down to their stumps while others were simply charred, but all contributed to the effect of desolation. Black ash lay in a thin covering, swirling up under your paws as you trek through. You pad onward, exploring the life-barren landscape- the forest seemed to stretch on infinitely. The tall, ebony remains of the oak trees blotted out the sky and made the ground look as if night had fallen eternally. A feeling of futility settled in your stomach, as it seemed that you would never see the sun's promising brilliance again. After a sorrowful glance over your shoulder, you decided to continue your exploration and padded into the darkness- there was nothing in any direction, but this path must be chosen- hunger's biting pain had already set in, and would not be eased unless you found a prey source. It wasn't long before you could no longer see the light coming from where you'd came from. Worried thoughts ran through your head, and all efforts to push them away were quickly diminished. Too distracted by the terror constantly taunting you, you hadn't noticed the scent of other cats until now; when a strong pine scent washed over you. You whipped around to see a pure black cat with golden eyes staring down at you. Those haunting eyes held so much in them, but the first thing you registered- and the most prominently displayed, was the unmistakable gleam of blood lust. You jumped back quickly, the fur bristling along your spine in a weak attempt to show dominance. "W-Who are you?!" You asked, still in a state of shock. The cat's voice was sharp and commanding. "You shouldn't be here. This is a cold, unforgiving place and no cat should ever have to go through what lies in these woods." The stranger looked around, with a flash of fear in their eyes, though quickly masked. You noticed a large scar running across the back of the cats neck and wondered of the story behind it. "Why do you say that?" You asked out of curiosity. The reply was quick. "The Clan that lives here is barbaric. There is no hesitation to kill here. Any cats outside of their Clan are made into their filthy servants. Only the strongest survive in these woods. All others will surely perish." They looked around quickly yet again. You thought for a moment and they stared you down, trying to drive the message home. "I have warned you, but it is your own choice whether you continue or not..." They stared at you, waiting to see what you'd do next...



Ranks, Customs, and Traditions

Of course, NightClan has the same ceremonies as in the majority of Clans. The scripts are unnecessary for the normal ceremonies, but others, exclusive to NightClan's customs, must be known by Clan members.

The first of which is the Battle of Succession. This is a sacred tradition, taking place only in a few situations: 1.) The death of a leader: the current deputy temporarily steps up to the position of leader. Next, he/she summons all cats for a Clan meeting, and calls for all cats with ambition, dedication, and Clan honor to step forward so that they may compete for the position of leader. The current deputy then assembles the volunteers, and joins their ranks. All competitors touch tails, the cat equivalent of shaking hands, and engage in combat to the death in front of their Clanmates. Once the competition is narrowed down to two final cats, the fight continues, but only until one gains dominance, the battle ends without a final kill. The winner becomes the new leader, but the second strongest has still earned the honor of survival, and takes the position of deputy. 2.) In the case the deputy's death, the same procedure follows, however, the winner will assume the deputy's position, and the second place cat will become the Attack Leader.

The second tradition is the Marking of Servants. In the case that the Clan leader believes that a warrior has done a great service to the Clan, the said warrior will be allowed to select a prisoner to be kept as his/her personal servant. The warrior and the prisoner will be brought before the Clan to perform the Marking of Servants, in which the warrior will give the servant a wound that will become a scar that will bond the two together, showing that the servant belong to his/her master. From this time until death, the servant will continue to be connected to their master.


NightClan has the established ranks of any normal Clan that you would find. However, there are also unique statuses in the clan as well.

Leader: The leader is the director of the Clan, in charge of keeping it's members in order and making sure that everything runs smoothly.

Deputy: The deputy is the one the cat that organizes the hunting patrols, as well as the leader's main adviser in important decisions. The deputy is the leader's second in command.

Medicine Cat: The medicine cat is in charge of healing the Clan's wounded warriors, helping queens in kit birth, and easing the pain of elders.

Medicine Cat Apprentice: The medicine cat apprentice's job is to assist in healing the sick and wounded. He/she learns of the different types of herbs used as medicines from his/her mentor.

Attack Leaders: This cats is a highly respected warrior who leads the attack squad for attacks that is commanded by the Leader or Deputy. He/she plans attack details and leads the Clan into battle with nearby rogues, loners, or Clans.

Ambush Leaders: This cat is a highly respected strategist who leads the ambush squad to ambush and capture targets who have been posing a threat to NightClan. The ambush leader also organizes raids on other outsiders.

Warriors: Warriors are the cats that make up the attack squad. Other duties of a NightClan warrior include hunting for themselves and for their superiors in ranking, patrolling borders, and guarding the captured prisoners.

Strategist: Strategists are the cats that make up the ambush squad. They also stalk and capture cats that venture to close to the territory, and they also keep records on all the cat known be live in, around the clans territories including other clan's cats.

Servants: Servants were once prisoners but were freed under the agreement that the prisoner would be under control by a designated Clan cat. Servants have no rights and must obey their master. Punishments may be inflicted upon servants who go against their master's will.

Prisoners: Prisoners are captured outsider cats or Clan cats that the leader or deputy have felt committed a great sin against the Clan. Any female prisoner must allow any male cat mate with them.

Nurturers/Kit Raisers: Nurturers are she-cats specially designated to the care and raising of kits. Instead of their mothers raising them, Nurturers take their place so that the she cats can continue to serve the Clan as soon as possible. Kits are weaned off of milk as early as they can be, so that their mother can return to her normal duties. Clan over kin, as the saying goes.

Apprentices: Warrior Apprentices are juvenile cats training to become a warriors. Kits become apprentices the day after they are deemed strong enough to handle training. Ages vary between kits, but no kit start their training after five moons old. Kits not strong enough by the age of six moons are exiled.

Strategist Apprentices: Strategist Apprentices are cats training to become a strategist. The method of determining the age of apprenticing is the same with Warrior Apprentices.

Executioners: Executioners are cats appointed by the leader, drawn from the ranks of both strategists and normal warriors. Their task is to execute cats that have committed injustices against the Clan, or are seen as threats to the safety of high ranking cats.


» RULES


CLAN RULES

1. For every wrongdoing committed by any member of the Clan, they will be given "marks" as reminder that mistakes are not tolerated. These marks are in the form of scars alongside the cat's flank or back. After five marks, a cat is sentenced to be executed. All execution are carried out at the fallen tree, and by tradition, take place at sunrise the morning after the execution order is given.

2. In a traditional execution, a cat is given a chance to fight for both their honor and their right to their life- which can only be achieved through a battle with the appointed executioner. If the cat that is sent to be executed defeats the executioner by killing them, they are spared their life, and given a position of decent respect and trust.

3. After a cat defeats an executioner, they become a full fledged member of the clan. Now they are as equals to any Clan-born cat that has committed no crimes.

4. Any cat they consider too weak to thrive in the Clan is too heavy a burden to support in a land that is already with a lack of prey. They are put down by eating Death Berries or are exiled from Clan territory. This punishment depends on the cat's ranking.

5. Everyone must supply food for themselves, with the following exceptions: prisoners, who are given daily rations, and are not to be trusted to go out and hunt. Nurturers are preoccupied with raising young, and are given a sufficient amount of prey to keep them healthy enough to continue their job. The deputy and leader have other Clan member hunt for them.

6. To kill without reason is frowned upon, but not considered a crime in most scenarios. To kill with fair reason is a feat of both physical and mental strength, and earns you respect.

7. Fallen warriors will be mourned for one night, before being buried outside of camp. It is Clan lore that their spirits will bring the Camp protection.

8. Honor both the Dark Forest and StarClan. Both are equal afterlives. Dark Forest dream visiting is an often occurrence, as apprentices dedicated to their Clan will train day and night to serve it well. Those with DF and NightClan mentors tend to graduate into positions of power. To speak with StarClan or The Dark Forest, the Cave of Midnight would be the proper place. However, The Great Fire has destroyed the place of contact, therefore dream visiting is the last connection between NightClan and their ancestors.

ROLEPLAY RULES

1. I expect all members of this roleplay to be active. Please try to be on the thread two-three times a week. And by being on the thread, I mean a full roleplay post, not just "Hi, I'm here."

2. Please, no kit-_____ ing. I know this rule is a bit unnecessary, but I just want to make it clear. People worked to create the characters, and just taking them away without permission is not right.

3. No spamming, either. " ____, please come to _____" is completely fine, but other than that, no advertising or other spams.

4. This roleplay is semi-advanced. I expect about a paragraph per post, but I understand if there is not much to respond to, because that is not your fault. I would like quality over quantity, so a well written paragraph is better than three paragraphs of nonsense.

5. This roleplay is about evil type cats, so yes, there will be blood. However, don't overdue it. If you can imagine the Clan as a movie, try to keep its contents PG, maybe a tiny bit over that is okay. We don't need overly detailed posts about violence, and romance especially. This is a kid's forums after all.

6. Thank you very much for taking your time to read these rules! Please put "waffles" in the "other" category of your joining form!



TERRITORY

The cats of NightClan reside under what once was a thick canopy of towering, majestic oak trees. Since then, a fire has raged through the forest, causing great damage and destruction to the once thriving forest. Even still, new life has grown against the odds, and between the undamaged oaks, burnt trees, and new growth, the thick foliage towers above the cat, blocking out the sky, and little sunlight gets through. Therefore, warriors have adapted to see better in the darkness. They call the continuous lack of sun the "eternal night". A fallen tree sits in the center of the camp, which serves as the place where the leader makes announcements. There are four dens of mud and rock that previously were fox dens lining the camp, and one den sits on top of the farthest-left one. Left to right, these are the warrior den, the medicine cat's den, the nursery, and the deputy's den, and the one on top is the Leader's Den. The ground is solid, trodden, ash-covered, and muddy. There is a thick smoke scent from a giant stone Twoleg nest that makes a lot of smoke, here, so it's easy for cats to sneak up on each other because they cannot smell one another. The foliage makes it impossible to see a fox-length in front of you, so any cat nearing the border has no idea they are being stalked. There is also a handy amount of ash on the ground and burnt trees to the point where the cats' paws are black as the scorched land underfoot. On the outskirts of the NightClan camp is the prisoner's den- a bramble-surrounded pit, always with guards stationed around it.

Willowsong's dull eyes suddenly broke into joy as her den mate rose to her paws and padded to the entrance of the shared den. She saw the glimmer of hunger in the she-cat's eyes as she approached the entrance. Willowsong padded behind Poppyblaze her gray and white tabby fur sticking up in alarm as Sootstar started to approach.
A thrush and a mouse were in his jaws swinging as if they were still alive. "Eat up." He grumbled through the prey clearly annoyed he was the one fetching prey for the prisoners and himself. The tom tossed the mouse at Poppyblaze.
The mouse landed at her paws and Willowsong stared hungrily at it. "C-could we share?" She asked hopeful that Poppyblaze would at least give her a morsel of the small creature sitting at her paws.

Name: Cedarheart
Age: 20 Moons
Description : His fur is a dark russet color with charcoal gray tabby markings. He has quite large ears and sharp front canines. Cedarheart's frame is very tall and thin, with a long tail that often drags behind him. https://s-media-cache-ak0.pinimg.com/736x/6d/68/91/6d6891226678e5ce5f676659f7721370.jpg
Personality : He is very calm tom, even under the most crushing pressure. He keeps his thoughts, opinions, and plans carefully hidden and to himself, making him appear quite mysterious or even dangerous. Cedarheart is wise for an early age as he can be a quick learner, but he yearns to learn more and know more. He is desperately eager to know what goes on in 'the leaders den' as it is a place where the senior warriors go to discuss large decisions. (His personality resembles that closely of Aron Burr)
Strengths: Speedy, quick witted, calm, observing
Weaknesses: Mysterious, suspicious, ambitious, not as strong as he is speedy
History : Just grew up in Nightclan
Other: Nope




Name: Wildheart
Age: 18 Moons
Description : A handsome white tom with black marbled tabby stripes. He has glowing amber eyes and large pointed ears. His legs are a bit short but he makes up with it for a strong frame. http://www.catchannel.com/images/articles/breed_profile_images/oriental_shorthair_new.JPG
Personality : Wildheart is extremely ambitious, he just dreams to leave have his name go down in history and for one day for the elders to tell stories about his legacy. He his smart and a quick learner, but he isn't much for hiding his opinions. He often speaks his mind being blunt and sometimes rude, while also putting in snarky comments along the way. Wildheart is also a flirt often being witty with his words to win over the affection of another. All in all, he is loyal, ambitious, a dreamer, smart, hot-headed, and at times he can let his smarts slip and be an arrogant fool. (Closely resembles Alexander Hamilton's personality)
Strengths: Strong, ambitious, determined/very strong will, dreamer, witty
Weaknesses: Romantic (he gets distracted from this), arrogant, hot-headed, outgoing, blunt
History : He started from a kittypet home with the name 'Oreo' but soon left home in search for a more adventurous life. He was encountered with rough obstacles, the worst being a dog pack. Left with deep wounds, tired, and hungry he was left for dead, but Oreo's pride kept him from going back to the twoleg nest. Luckily he stumbled upon an apprentice; Cedarpaw. Oreo was accepted into the clan soon becoming Wildpaw and being trained to become a strong and loyal warrior. Some still find him a rude loner but otherwise he fits into the clan nicely, becoming Wildheart. (Cedarheart and him started as friends but envy has driven Cedar to hate him because he is constantly becoming more common within the clan)
Other: Attack leader?

Prisoners: Prisoners are captured outsider cats or Clan cats that the leader or deputy have felt committed a great sin against the Clan. Any female prisoner must allow any male cat mate with them.

Nurturers/Kit Raisers: Nurturers are she-cats specially designated to the care and raising of kits. Instead of their mothers raising them, Nurturers take their place so that the she cats can continue to serve the Clan as soon as possible. Kits are weaned off of milk as early as they can be, so that their mother can return to her normal duties. Clan over kin, as the saying goes.

Apprentices: Warrior Apprentices are juvenile cats training to become a warriors. Kits become apprentices the day after they are deemed strong enough to handle training. Ages vary between kits, but no kit start their training after five moons old. Kits not strong enough by the age of six moons are exiled.

Strategist Apprentices: Strategist Apprentices are cats training to become a strategist. The method of determining the age of apprenticing is the same with Warrior Apprentices.

Executioners: Executioners are cats appointed by the leader, drawn from the ranks of both strategists and normal warriors. Their task is to execute cats that have committed injustices against the Clan, or are seen as threats to the safety of high ranking cats.

CLAN RULES

1. For every wrongdoing committed by any member of the Clan, they will be given "marks" as reminder that mistakes are not tolerated. These marks are in the form of scars alongside the cat's flank or back. After five marks, a cat is sentenced to be executed. All execution are carried out at the fallen tree, and by tradition, take place at sunrise the morning after the execution order is given.

2. In a traditional execution, a cat is given a chance to fight for both their honor and their right to their life- which can only be achieved through a battle with the appointed executioner. If the cat that is sent to be executed defeats the executioner by killing them, they are spared their life, and given a position of decent respect and trust.

3. After a cat defeats an executioner, they become a full fledged member of the clan. Now they are as equals to any Clan-born cat that has committed no crimes.

4. Any cat they consider too weak to thrive in the Clan is too heavy a burden to support in a land that is already with a lack of prey. They are put down by eating Death Berries or are exiled from Clan territory. This punishment depends on the cat's ranking.

5. Everyone must supply food for themselves, with the following exceptions: prisoners, who are given daily rations, and are not to be trusted to go out and hunt. Nurturers are preoccupied with raising young, and are given a sufficient amount of prey to keep them healthy enough to continue their job. The deputy and leader have other Clan member hunt for them.

6. To kill without reason is frowned upon, but not considered a crime in most scenarios. To kill with fair reason is a feat of both physical and mental strength, and earns you respect.

7. Fallen warriors will be mourned for one night, before being buried outside of camp. It is Clan lore that their spirits will bring the Camp protection.

8. Honor both the Dark Forest and StarClan. Both are equal afterlives. Dark Forest dream visiting is an often occurrence, as apprentices dedicated to their Clan will train day and night to serve it well. Those with DF and NightClan mentors tend to graduate into positions of power. To speak with StarClan or The Dark Forest, the Cave of Midnight would be the proper place. However, The Great Fire has destroyed the place of contact, therefore dream visiting is the last connection between NightClan and their ancestors.

ROLEPLAY RULES

1. I expect all members of this roleplay to be active. Please try to be on the thread two-three times a week. And by being on the thread, I mean a full roleplay post, not just "Hi, I'm here."

2. Please, no kit-_____ ing. I know this rule is a bit unnecessary, but I just want to make it clear. People worked to create the characters, and just taking them away without permission is not right.

3. No spamming, either. " ____, please come to _____" is completely fine, but other than that, no advertising or other spams.

4. This roleplay is semi-advanced. I expect about a paragraph per post, but I understand if there is not much to respond to, because that is not your fault. I would like quality over quantity, so a well written paragraph is better than three paragraphs of nonsense.

5. This roleplay is about evil type cats, so yes, there will be blood. However, don't overdue it. If you can imagine the Clan as a movie, try to keep its contents PG, maybe a tiny bit over that is okay. We don't need overly detailed posts about violence, and romance especially. This is a kid's forums after all.

6. Thank you very much for taking your time to read these rules! Please put "waffles" in the "other" category of your joining form!



TERRITORY

The cats of NightClan reside under what once was a thick canopy of towering, majestic oak trees. Since then, a fire has raged through the forest, causing great damage and destruction to the once thriving forest. Even still, new life has grown against the odds, and between the undamaged oaks, burnt trees, and new growth, the thick foliage towers above the cat, blocking out the sky, and little sunlight gets through. Therefore, warriors have adapted to see better in the darkness. They call the continuous lack of sun the "eternal night". A fallen tree sits in the center of the camp, which serves as the place where the leader makes announcements. There are four dens of mud and rock that previously were fox dens lining the camp, and one den sits on top of the farthest-left one. Left to right, these are the warrior den, the medicine cat's den, the nursery, and the deputy's den, and the one on top is the Leader's Den. The ground is solid, trodden, ash-covered, and muddy. There is a thick smoke scent from a giant stone Twoleg nest that makes a lot of smoke, here, so it's easy for cats to sneak up on each other because they cannot smell one another. The foliage makes it impossible to see a fox-length in front of you, so any cat nearing the border has no idea they are being stalked. There is also a handy amount of ash on the ground and burnt trees to the point where the cats' paws are black as the scorched land underfoot. On the outskirts of the NightClan camp is the prisoner's den- a bramble-surrounded pit, always with guards stationed around it.

The prisoner glared out and towards the leader's area of reign- she'd ask if the older would want something, fresh from her fetching, but she decided against it. She rolled her eyes and glared around, her shoulders shifting and her eyes glancing around at the area. She stepped out of the den to make her fur more prominent- against the light snow she was easily seen but had there not been snow she would have looked like another ash-covered lump.

Wildheart, having just woken up, headed straight for the fresh-kill pile. He seemed to have a joyous bounce in his step and a pleasant, slightly goofy, grin plastered on his muzzle. He whipped up a squirrel from the pile and headed over to a shaded but warm spot to enjoy his prey. As the tom sank his teeth into the animal's flesh he noticed a flash of ginger enter the camp, Cedarheart. His whiskers twitched, memories flooding his mind of when he first met the witty tom. Wildheart owed so much to him for showing him Nightclan, but lately their friendship seemed to split and they were constantly becoming, well, rivals. His tail twitched and he shook his broad head, clearing his mind of the reminiscing. The past is past, it's time to make a name in my new home. He thought, bright amber eyes burning with determination as he ate.

Cedarheart padded into camp, his long tail as usual dragging in the dirt and making a line behind him. He wasn't upset about anything, that's just usually what his tail did. He narrowed his green orbs when he noticed the white and black striped tom at the corner of the clearing. At one time they were good friends but jealousy of Wildheart's rank made Cedarheart soon hate the tom. They became warriors together, even though Cedarheart was older and had more training, he never knew the reason to that, and now he was the attack leader? I wanted it- no, I deserved that rank! And some loud-mouthed loner came and stole it from me. His tail rose from the ground and started to twitch in annoyance as he dropped his recently hunted vole onto the pile.

Robin paw sighed looking at the camp.Her mentor,the leader,was no where to be found.She dragged her paws across the ground to get a mouse.But she was greeted with maggots instead.She let out a yowl of surprise and disgust."EWWWWW!"she hissed poking at the maggot belly mouse. Rushpaw jumped up from her position of bathing in the sun at her sisters yowl.She ran over,almost in three seconds she was over there."What's wro-EWWWW!"she yowled at the sight of the maggot belly mouse,she made gagging sounds and then looked at the rest of the prey "They are all like that!"she hissedRavenpaw padded over to his sisters and looked at the prey pile with disgust "That.Is.Gross."he hissed "We need to tell the leader about this."he said flicking his tail over to his brother.Bluepaw didn't want to go over to his siblings as Ravenpaw signaled him over "I would prefure to stay over here."he said sitting down gagging at the thought of maggots.

damn im so late at replying holy crap))

The she-cat was blank and late to reply to the mouse at her paws. She looked sympathetic in her eyes, but her face fixture was questioning. She nodded and sighed. "Yeah, I'll just take a few bites. It ain't much, but you can have whatever I won't eat." She leaned down and chewed down but two small morsels, before rolling the mouse over to the hunger-driven she-cat. "Eat well and don't let it go to waste," she grumbled, sitting down and curling her draped tail around her thick paws.

Willowsong blinked gratefully at the she-cat before finishing off the mouse in a few famished bites. Her stomach was at least the slight bit filled but she couldn't say it was to her content. She gnawed on a single bone for a moment before spitting it out as it crunched against one of her teeth. She then stared at Poppyblaze for a moment before padding up to her. "I'm not sure I remember why you got in here. Why is it?" The she-cat herself had been thrown in this wretched dirt place called a den only a few days ago because no cat had provided Sootstar any food.
@SpiralTheRival (http://warriorcatsonline.com/forums/member.php?u=67)
Gorsestorm watched Wildheart for a moment before padding up to the tom and staring at him. "Mind sharing that?" He growled to the Attack Leader eyes glistening with malice. He was dangerous but at the moment more hungry than in the mood to sink his claws into a cat. Hopefully he won't be too afraid since he is the attack leader... The executioner had already scared Blossommist off the opposing day when he had asked to share with her. It was just his nature to growl after he spoke yet some cats did not understand that.

Blossommist padded up to Cedarheart eyes glued on his vole. "What are you angry about?" She mewed her bicolor pelt shining in the morning sun. Since there were not any queens or kits at the moment the she-cat had nothing to do so most of the day she spent cleaning her pelt and speaking with the cats hanging around camp to at least ensure entertainment. She certainly did not want to be exiled or become a prisoner.

Wildheart seemed to be enjoying his time in the warmth before his ear twitched at Gorsestorm's voice. He opened one amber eye to take a look at the warrior. "Not sure I like your attitude." The tom dared to say, holding back a smirk. He leaned back down to the squirrel to bite off a bit more before sliding the other half to him. "But I'm not greedy." He scanned over the tom with a twitching tail, curious as to what his response would be to Wildheart's snarky answer.

The tall russet tom turned his green hues to the she-cat before him. "Well I don't believe that's any of your concern." He replied cooly, being the secretive cat that he was. His whiskers twitched, noticing that her gaze was focused on his recently caught prey "Care to share?" Cedarheart offered with a small smile as he sat the vole down and gently pushed it towards Blossommist.

Introduction

Burnt trees were everywhere the eye could see; some burned down to their stumps while others were simply charred, but all contributed to the effect of desolation. Black ash lay in a thin covering, swirling up under your paws as you trek through. You pad onward, exploring the life-barren landscape- the forest seemed to stretch on infinitely. The tall, ebony remains of the oak trees blotted out the sky and made the ground look as if night had fallen eternally. A feeling of futility settled in your stomach, as it seemed that you would never see the sun's promising brilliance again. After a sorrowful glance over your shoulder, you decided to continue your exploration and padded into the darkness- there was nothing in any direction, but this path must be chosen- hunger's biting pain had already set in, and would not be eased unless you found a prey source. It wasn't long before you could no longer see the light coming from where you'd came from. Worried thoughts ran through your head, and all efforts to push them away were quickly diminished. Too distracted by the terror constantly taunting you, you hadn't noticed the scent of other cats until now; when a strong pine scent washed over you. You whipped around to see a pure black cat with golden eyes staring down at you. Those haunting eyes held so much in them, but the first thing you registered- and the most prominently displayed, was the unmistakable gleam of blood lust. You jumped back quickly, the fur bristling along your spine in a weak attempt to show dominance. "W-Who are you?!" You asked, still in a state of shock. The cat's voice was sharp and commanding. "You shouldn't be here. This is a cold, unforgiving place and no cat should ever have to go through what lies in these woods." The stranger looked around, with a flash of fear in their eyes, though quickly masked. You noticed a large scar running across the back of the cats neck and wondered of the story behind it. "Why do you say that?" You asked out of curiosity. The reply was quick. "The Clan that lives here is barbaric. There is no hesitation to kill here. Any cats outside of their Clan are made into their filthy servants. Only the strongest survive in these woods. All others will surely perish." They looked around quickly yet again. You thought for a moment and they stared you down, trying to drive the message home. "I have warned you, but it is your own choice whether you continue or not..." They stared at you, waiting to see what you'd do next...



Ranks, Customs, and Traditions

Of course, NightClan has the same ceremonies as in the majority of Clans. The scripts are unnecessary for the normal ceremonies, but others, exclusive to NightClan's customs, must be known by Clan members.

The first of which is the Battle of Succession. This is a sacred tradition, taking place only in a few situations: 1.) The death of a leader: the current deputy temporarily steps up to the position of leader. Next, he/she summons all cats for a Clan meeting, and calls for all cats with ambition, dedication, and Clan honor to step forward so that they may compete for the position of leader. The current deputy then assembles the volunteers, and joins their ranks. All competitors touch tails, the cat equivalent of shaking hands, and engage in combat to the death in front of their Clanmates. Once the competition is narrowed down to two final cats, the fight continues, but only until one gains dominance, the battle ends without a final kill. The winner becomes the new leader, but the second strongest has still earned the honor of survival, and takes the position of deputy. 2.) In the case the deputy's death, the same procedure follows, however, the winner will assume the deputy's position, and the second place cat will become the Attack Leader.

The second tradition is the Marking of Servants. In the case that the Clan leader believes that a warrior has done a great service to the Clan, the said warrior will be allowed to select a prisoner to be kept as his/her personal servant. The warrior and the prisoner will be brought before the Clan to perform the Marking of Servants, in which the warrior will give the servant a wound that will become a scar that will bond the two together, showing that the servant belong to his/her master. From this time until death, the servant will continue to be connected to their master.


NightClan has the established ranks of any normal Clan that you would find. However, there are also unique statuses in the clan as well.

Leader: The leader is the director of the Clan, in charge of keeping it's members in order and making sure that everything runs smoothly.

Deputy: The deputy is the one the cat that organizes the hunting patrols, as well as the leader's main adviser in important decisions. The deputy is the leader's second in command.

Medicine Cat: The medicine cat is in charge of healing the Clan's wounded warriors, helping queens in kit birth, and easing the pain of elders.

Medicine Cat Apprentice: The medicine cat apprentice's job is to assist in healing the sick and wounded. He/she learns of the different types of herbs used as medicines from his/her mentor.

Attack Leaders: This cats is a highly respected warrior who leads the attack squad for attacks that is commanded by the Leader or Deputy. He/she plans attack details and leads the Clan into battle with nearby rogues, loners, or Clans.

Ambush Leaders: This cat is a highly respected strategist who leads the ambush squad to ambush and capture targets who have been posing a threat to NightClan. The ambush leader also organizes raids on other outsiders.

Warriors: Warriors are the cats that make up the attack squad. Other duties of a NightClan warrior include hunting for themselves and for their superiors in ranking, patrolling borders, and guarding the captured prisoners.

Strategist: Strategists are the cats that make up the ambush squad. They also stalk and capture cats that venture to close to the territory, and they also keep records on all the cat known be live in, around the clans territories including other clan's cats.

Servants: Servants were once prisoners but were freed under the agreement that the prisoner would be under control by a designated Clan cat. Servants have no rights and must obey their master. Punishments may be inflicted upon servants who go against their master's will.

Prisoners: Prisoners are captured outsider cats or Clan cats that the leader or deputy have felt committed a great sin against the Clan. Any female prisoner must allow any male cat mate with them.

Nurturers/Kit Raisers: Nurturers are she-cats specially designated to the care and raising of kits. Instead of their mothers raising them, Nurturers take their place so that the she cats can continue to serve the Clan as soon as possible. Kits are weaned off of milk as early as they can be, so that their mother can return to her normal duties. Clan over kin, as the saying goes.

Apprentices: Warrior Apprentices are juvenile cats training to become a warriors. Kits become apprentices the day after they are deemed strong enough to handle training. Ages vary between kits, but no kit start their training after five moons old. Kits not strong enough by the age of six moons are exiled.

Strategist Apprentices: Strategist Apprentices are cats training to become a strategist. The method of determining the age of apprenticing is the same with Warrior Apprentices.

Executioners: Executioners are cats appointed by the leader, drawn from the ranks of both strategists and normal warriors. Their task is to execute cats that have committed injustices against the Clan, or are seen as threats to the safety of high ranking cats.

The she-cat nodded. "I was swept up like a hawk. Ain't my fault I was an idiot she-cat." She shifted around in her seat, almost snorting at her imbecility. "I know how I got here and I been claimed a few times," she shifted her shoulders again, purposefully raising her fur to expose the three different marks- each was red in its own type. "You been claimed, or have you not meet your-" she stopped and made a fake swoon. "Oh, your savior of the forest!" She managed a small smile, but her eyes extrude on her weariness and tire.

(Name: Cardinal/Darkfeather/Stormeye

Age: 21/18/19

Description : Cardinal is a red tabby with yellow eyes/Darkfeather is a gray tabby with green eyes and long fur/Stormeye is a plain gray tom with one blue eye and one blind eye. He has a single mark on his back.

Personality : BTRP?

Strengths: Quick, athletic, has a basic idea of how to fight when caught/Calmer and more accepting/Feirce loyalty to the clan, thinks before acting

Weaknesses: Easy to frighten/Easy to pressure into doing something/Easy to get him to admit everything, thinks before acting (which is a bad thing when it comes to things like, I dunno, chasing rogues)

History : Cardinal lived a normal life as a rogue until she encountered a soot-covered forest. She assumed it was empty, so she decided to live there. Turns out... probably not, considering that a bunch of clan cats have tried chasing her already./Darkfeather lived a pretty normal life... sooo... on to Stormeye./Stormeye lived a normal life until he encountered a rogue as an apprentice. The rogue (who just so happens to be Cardinal) was trying to hunt when Stormpaw came face-to-face with her, but he didn't know what to do. Of course, Cardinal immediately started running, and it took Stormpaw a while to realize that he should've chased after her, but it was too late; Cardinal was much faster. When he returned to camp, all it took was one warrior who had scented rogue on Stormpaw for him to admit what had happened. That is how he got his mark. Now, Stormeye is focused on being as loyal as he could.

Other: Do you like waffles? I hope so.

Also, I think this is very interesting! Most evil clans I see are pretty much this: "Kill all cats, always worship Dark Forest, care about literally no one..." This one is like this: "You don't need to kill, but there's no penalty if you do so without reason, StarClan's important, too, care for your kin, but clan always come first..." Speaking of StarClan and DarkForest... do cats say, "I hope I join StarClan when I die" or, "I hope I join the Dark Forest when I die"?)
