PUNISHMENTS FOR RULE-BREAKERS
First time
A simple warning.
Second time
A sterner warning in PM.
Third time
A ban for one day (24 hours).
Fourth time
A ban for a week.
Fifth time
A permanent ban.

• RULE ONE
I will accept minimal cursing. However, do not swear every other sentence, there is no need for that. I also advise that, if your character needs to swear, use Warriors curses instead of human ones, as those won't count as being against the rules.

• RULE TWO
No power-playing. This includes unnatural powers (flying, super hearing, etc.). If you go into a fight and come back out without a single scratch, and your enemy is fatally wounded, there's an issue. Please, keep this roleplay realistic!

• RULE THREE
No sexual roleplays. Honestly, this is pretty straightforward. Mates and crushes are fine, but keep sexual stuff to pms. Please.

• RULE FOUR
No chatspeak, unless you are OOC (out of character). We don't need cats saying "u ok?" or "I <3 u" . Use actual words, and people are more likely to respond. Also, please tag others in your post, it helps a lot.

• RULE FIVE
Please put effort into your posts. Not many people mind how you roleplay, just don't use first person. You can put '**' for action if you want, I don't mind. The only I wish is that you put at least more than one sentence in each post.

• RULE SIX
Four cats per person, two per Clan. I don't want a Clan full of three people each with twenty cats, so this is a very strict rule. Your character will not be accepted if you already have four. But don't worry, because you can put a character in "storage" if you wish to still use them but not for a while. However, a character can only be in storage if you use them again, and if I don't see a character for a long time I'll ask if you want to keep them or kill them off.

• RULE SEVEN
Please, if you see any rude behavior but I haven't, tell me over PM so I can deal with it. I've had people who constantly break rules and won't agree to punishments before, and I really don't want a big fight to break out over a single rule-break, so it's a lot easier for everyone if you just confront me in PM.

CHARACTER RULES

• Use only natural cat colors, which means no pinks, bright reds (instead, use ginger-red!), blues (instead, use blue-gray!) greens, etc. This also counts for markings, so no male tortoiseshells/calicoes or ginger cats with blue-gray spots. Keep it realistic.

• You cannot kill or mortally wound another's character without asking permission. However, you also cannot be immortal where you never die, so think this over carefully.

• Apprentices must ask for a certain mentor, and can't just choose one without asking the player they wish to be their mentor.

• Apprentices and mentors must have at least three training sessions together before the apprentice can be considered to become a warrior.

• Kits open their eyes shortly after birth for convenience, even though that is not how it works in real life. But they cannot be up and running around dreaming of becoming leader the day they are born, there must be at least one or two scenes with their mother while they are still small and too young to leave the nursery.

• Both players must agree before cats become mates. If one disagrees, do not force it.

• Both players of a mate pair must also agree on if they shall have kits and how many, also what the names and appearances of the kits will be. The parents can both roleplay one kit, but if there is more than two, they must ask other players or ask me to have a shoutout to find others to roleplay the kits. If there is only one, flip and coin and decide who roleplays the kit that way.

• A character cannot die without asking me first (most times it is a yes, but this is just to make sure I know who is dead and who is alive).

ADDITIONAL RULES

• Names must fit with a character's Clan and rank, and "star" is only allowed for leaders as it is their suffix. Names that include things only twolegs would know or things not found in the territory (like "galaxypaw", "emeraldgleam", etc.) will not be accepted unless changed to something that fits (like "kestrelpaw", "bouldertooth", etc.). Also, names with "Tide" or "Flight" will not be allowed.

• High-ranks (leader, deputy, medicine cats) must be active. At least two posts daily, unless you are unable to (important events, family matters, etc.). If you are unable to rp, please tell me so I can alert everyone else. If a high-rank fails to be active multiple times, I will demote them and open high-rank forms.

• Please remember that most wild cats are Moggies, and won't have show-cat genes! This means no pointed cats (unless formally a loner, rouge, or kittypet), no cats who are the exact image of a certain breed, etc. However, cats who resemble a breed (like Maine Coons, cats with curled ears, etc.) are allowed.
