The official AlbaClan interactive story!
----------
Welcome...
A vast valley stretches far ahead, surrounded by an intimidating mountain range. The Valley is green and filled with meadows that sway in the slight breeze, while the mountains are snowy with the occasional forest here and there. This is AlbaClan's home and one that they have thrived in for years.
AlbaClan was founded by Alba, a kittypet. Alba had been stolen from a faraway clan long before he founded the clan, and was able to communicate with StarClan. One day, the village he lived in burnt down, and the cats there were chased out of the remains of it by the villager's now free dogs. Alba led the group of cats to where AlbaClan now roams and told them about StarClan and how they told him that they should live there. The cats all saw Alba as a true leader and trusted him. After a while, the other kittypets were able to speak to StarClan and were assigned ranks. Alba became leader and received nine lives, and AlbaClan officially began.
AlbaClan is made up of many different cats, allowing outsiders to join often giving them diverse looks. However, a lot of AlbaClan are long-haired and fluffy, leaning to the furrier side as more pure-blooded AlbaClan cats have Himalayan blood in their veins. The cats are trained for snow, forest, and meadow hunting for the most part, with a select few training in the water in case fish is needed for their survival, although overall AlbaClan does not swim all too often. They have a few unique traditions developed through the course of their existence, which you can read about in the "Clan Information" section.

Rules
1. WCO rules: Please follow wco rules at all times, and keep all content friendly to every age!
2. Spamming: Please do not spam. Chatting outside rp is ok, but keep it within brackets on your rp posts. Also, if telling another user to come back someplace, occasionally coming and asking them to come back to another is fine, but please do not advertise without permission.
3. Theft: Kit stealers, or any other kind of stealers- ex, elder stealers- are not permitted. Nor are any variations. Also, do not control other's characters without permission.
4. Role-Playing: While this is not a completely advanced role-play I do ask that you use correct grammar while role-playing. In chat, outside rp, it is ok to use terms like "lol", or "brb", g2g, etc, but please do not use chatspeak/text talk in rp! Also, do not control other player's characters, or spotlight your characters too much. The preferred amount of sentences per post is 3+ sentences for average ranks and 5+ sentences for high ranks.
5. Timeskips: To add to the above only I can post major timeskips. You're allowed to skip forward a few minutes or so, maybe to as much as a few hours, but you cannot skip days or months or years. You're allowed to request timeskips however, and if I plan a major timeskip I shall warn the members beforehand.
6. Romance and Violence: Please keep everything all age appropriate. Romance and violence are permitted, but nothing should be inappropriate or overly detailed. Same goes for kittings and the like. Also, please, no cursing, warriors curses are alright in-rp.
7. Activity: Please be active. If you leave without warning for a week, you will be asked to return. After two weeks your cats will be removed. Feel free to rejoin, but notice you may not get any special places- such as deputies, medicine cats, etc- back afterward. If you wish to quit please be polite and inform me.
8. Plot: Only I can decide major events, so please no deciding major plotlines without my prior permission. You can suggest ideas of course. It is not guaranteed all ideas will be used, but regardless anything major must be first approved by me.
9. In RP: Have fun! Please try your best to include everyone. There are no character limits but do not overwhelm yourself. Be aware that if you join as a kit, I pick their future ranks. If you join as an apprentice, the leader picks their future warrior name. You may, of course, request things ahead of time, but it must be asked first or I won't know.
11. This is the
public territory thread, which means any rp that is restricted to two cats that are outside of the territory cant be posted here. Interaction with kittypets (If it only involves one clan cat and one kittypet) and journeys to the Leader's Peak, Icecave, or Emerald Pond should be taken to pm. Apprentice's quests will not be roleplayed and the apprentice(s) will just have to post their results when it is over.
10. Time One week irl is equivalent to one day in rp. Monday - Friday is daytime and Saturday and Sunday are nighttime. 3 days make a moon and 3 moons make a season.

Clan information
Clan character
AlbaClan, strong and intelligent. AlbaClan is known for being a very adaptable clan, known for finding a way to survive and saving themselves from danger and harm several times. This does not mean they do not commit noble acts or let loners and kittypets join their clan, they are willing to give cats chances. AlbaClan allows outsiders to join from time to time. Cats in AlbaClan view each other as family and are overall very loyal, and are taught to be cautious, but kind to all.
Clan traditions
AlbaClan has a few unique traditions, besides the typical warrior code, ceremonies, and belief in StarClan.
Recieving nine lives: It is traditional to hunt as much as you can the day before this ceremony as it is considered disrespectful to StarClan for a new leader to not bring them food. On the night of the ceremony, the medicine cat will take the leader to the Leader's Peak (Mountain) or the Emerald Pond (Valley). The leader will then toss the food onto the mountain graves or set it in the water and then wait. The medicine cat is supposed to leave the second the StarClan cats arrive. When the ceremony is over with, the leader and their new nine lives will be guided home by StarClan if the new leader is lost.
A warrior's vigil: After the quick trip to camp after a warrior ceremony, the new warrior's former mentor will lead them to either the leader's peak or the Emerald Pond and leave them there. The warrior will sit there in silence for the night and visit any deceased family they have in StarClan. Once again, Starclan will guide them home in the morning.
The apprentice's quest: Very early in the morning, on the day an apprentice or group of apprentices turns 12 moons old, the leader and their mentor(s) will wake them up and lead them to the snow peaks or the Tiger's forest. Their mentor(s) will touch noses with them and wish them good luck and the apprentice(s) will be left there for the whole day and night. The next morning, the leader will come to retrieve them and take them to the Icecave or Emerald Pond, where they will receive their warrior names. On the occasion where an apprentice dies during their quest, their body will be laid in the pond and the leader will receive their warrior name for them.
Death ritual: AlbaClan is very spiritual and believes that there are ways to help a dead cat have a good afterlife. When a cat dies, everyone is encouraged to find herbs or small prey which is said to keep them healthy in StarClan. Meanwhile, the medicine cat rubs lavender and other sweet-smelling plants on the body, a process said to help the cat keep their beauty in StarClan. When the cats of the clan arrive with herbs and small prey, the medicine cat will take out a white cloth, stolen from twolegplace, and wrap it around the deceased and the items. Cats who were important to the deceased may then place flowers in the cloth, granting the cat good luck in StarClan, before they are buried.
The great journey: When the water source in a territory freezes over, the cats must move to the opposite territory. The journey takes a day and consists of climbing up the mountain into the mountain territory at the end of leaf-bare and climbing down the mountain into the valley territory at the end of green-leaf.

QUIT/ON LEAVE LIST:
Users who quit or temporarily quit, but their characters are still in the rp and claimed by other users, and want to be able to reclaim their cats if they return (option 3).
"Option 3, to Allow someone else to rp them by default, with understanding if you rejoin you'll have them back, but also knowing the new rper can kill them off before then if they choose. (User will not be allowed to use the cat outside this rp as it is still your character unless you say otherwise.)"
New rpers can also decide mates, crushes, etc for the cat (if the original character's owner is gone for a reasonable amount of time and rp progresses enough for it, that is), and change small details gradually as the rp goes on.
