Just some information on warriors!
Ranks:
Leader- a cat must be deputy before they can be leader. Their
name must end in "star". They are given 9 lives from StarClan.
In charge of the Clan, and making decisions for the Clan.
Deputy- a warrior must have mentored at least one apprentice in
their lifetime, before they can become deputy. The deputy will
become leader, once the old leader has died. If a deputy of a
Clan dies, a new deputy must be appointed at moonhigh. Second in
command.
Medicine cat- a cat must go through training before they can
become a full medicine cat.
Most of the time, medicine cats have a strong connection with
StarClan, who walks in their dreams. These cats are the healers
of the Clan. Medicine cats cannot have mates.
Warriors- cats usually become warrior at 12 moons, depending on
when they finish their training. Expected to hunt for the Clan
and protect them.
Apprentices- warriors or medicine cats in training. MUST BE AT
LEAST 6 MOONS OLD BEFORE THEY CAN BEGIN TRAINING.
Queens- mothers to the kittens in the clan. Cats must be a
warrior before they become a queen.
Kits- kittens under the age of 6 moons old.
The Warrior Code
The Warrior Code is as follows:
Defend your Clan, even with your life. You may have friendships
with cats from other Clans, but your loyalty must remain to your
Clan, as one day you may meet them in battle.
Do not hunt or trespass on another Clan's territory.
Elders, queens, and kits must be fed before apprentices and
warriors. Unless they have permission, apprentices may not eat
until they have hunted to feed the elders. If any warrior or
apprentice is sick or injured, they may eat while the elders,
queens, and kits are eating.
Prey is killed only to be eaten. Give thanks to StarClan for its
life.
A kit must be at least six moons old to become an apprentice.
Newly appointed warriors will keep a silent vigil for one night
after receiving their warrior name.
A cat cannot be made deputy without having mentored at least one
apprentice.
The deputy will become Clan leader when the leader dies, retires
or is exiled.
After the death or retirement of the deputy, the new deputy must
be chosen before moonhigh.
A Gathering of all four Clans is held at the full moon during a
truce that lasts for the night. There shall be no fighting among
Clans at this time.
Boundaries must be checked and marked daily. Challenge all
trespassing cats.
No warrior can neglect a kit in pain or danger, even if the kit
is from a different Clan.
The word of the Clan Leader is the warrior code.
An honorable warrior does not need to kill other cats to win
his/her battles, unless they are outside the warrior code or if
it is necessary for self-defense.
A warrior rejects the soft life of a kittypet.
