[align=center][size=7pt]A semi advanced, traditional Clan
ABOUT
CedarClan is a traditional Clan that occupies a large chunk of forest-dense territory at a high elevation. They are neither all good, nor all bad. They are a neutral Clan that has had their fair share of high highs and low lows, however, in the majority of their time in existence, each leader and Clanmates alike have done a respectable job trying their collective best to uphold the Warrior Code and traditional values of their warrior ancestors. CedarClan has been around for a long while, a great deal of years, and has seen and since passed seven previous leaders.
TERRITORY
CedarClan sits atop a plateau-like chunk of land that is elevated about forty feet above sea level. The land stretches out for about two square miles and CedarClan's territory occupies a small corner of said space. The land is rocky and bracken-filled in the core of territory, surrounded by dense forest undergrowth, ferns, and tall cedars that create a canopy above the forest floor. On the outskirts of the territory, the forest and trees begin to thin out and the ground is riddled with rocks and boulders jutting out over the sandy beaches that meld into the ocean. In the far corner of CedarClan territory, there is a rocky cliff that drops off sharply into the rocky ocean below, a 40ft drop. The cats generally steer clear of the beach because it is sticky, wet and uncomfortable. But when prey is scarce, they may venture to the water to try their luck at fishing. Below is a rough map of the territory:

RULES
1. This is a semi-advanced roleplay. I expect no one-liners. I want paragraphs, if you are going to write at all, then write with everything in you. Don't give me some half-assed few sentences. Make me see what you are describing in my mind. Be interesting, be lively, write beautifully or not at all! It will make it more fun that way.
2. This is a traditional Clan that follows traditional values from the Warriors saga books. Now, whether or not the characters follow said guidelines in the roleplay is a different story. But just keep in mind, this is realistic. Only domestic cats, cat speak, realistic as possible. Keep in mind that cats with serious disabilities such as blindness, deafness, missing limbs, etc. cannot be warriors. ALSO: traditional names will be the only ones accepted. If you have trouble coming up with a traditional prefix or suffix for your cat, I will link a helpful guide with a list of good ones here (for acceptable prefixes) and here (for acceptable suffixes).
3. No mute cats or motherless kits, please.
4. Be dramatic, but not over the top. Keep things interesting without blowing them out of proportion or being too unrealistic. I love plots. Bring them to the plotting thread, please!
5. Track the plotting/chatting thread once you are accepted and before you roleplay. No chatting or plotting on this thread, please.
6. Only heterosexual characters, please, for the sake of realism. If you've read this far, write 'easy come easy go' somewhere in your form.
7. Be thoughtful and respectful to everyone involved.
8. Try to keep the gender ratios even.

[size=7pt]NAME: Spiderkit -- Spiderpaw -- Spiderwhisker -- Spiderstar
GENDER: Tom
RANK: Kit -- Apprentice -- Warrior -- Deputy -- Leader
APPEARANCE: Spiderstar is a tall, lanky black tom with long legs and short, sleek, glossy black fur. His paws are white and he has very long, black whiskers from which he got his warrior name. He is not particularly muscular, rather lean and long, with a strong stride. His face is small and narrow and he has short, rounded ears paired with two dark green eyes that reflect the light.
SCARS/MARKINGS: He has various scars from battle, but his fur has since grown over them.
PERSONALITY: Spiderstar is a mellow tom who doesn't have a mean bone in his body. He is clever and quick and prefers over all to avoid altercation and conflict. His physique doesn't amount to much and although his long legs make him tall, he is lean and not sturdy in build. This is another reason that Spiderstar would much rather fight his battles with words rather than actual attack. He tries his best to follow the Warrior Code and depends heavily on StarClan and his warrior ancestors, however, his Clan will always come first to him and he will do anything to protect those who have faith in him.
STRENGTHS: Clever, quick on his paws, agile, tactical
WEAKNESSES: Not the best fighter, weak swimmer, hard on hearing
HISTORY: Born and raised in the Clan.
KIN: Neetlefang (brother)
LOVE INTEREST: Petalfur, deceased.
OTHER: Read the rules. Spiderstar has 6 out of his 9 lives remaining.

[size=7pt]NAME: Snowkit -- Snowpaw -- Snowflight
GENDER: She-cat
RANK: Apprentice
APPEARANCE: Snowpaw is a short white she-cat with a short, full felt. Her ears are tall and pointed and her eyes are dark and intense amber. She has long, white whiskers and messy fur. She is almost completely white, aside from her front left paw, which is black.
SCARS/MARKINGS: Front left paw is black, a small scar on her shoulder from a fall
PERSONALITY: Hotheaded and driven, Snowpaw is a wicked little spitfire. She has a tongue sharper than badger's claws and is more irritable than an angry watersnake. She is stubborn and hardheaded, and has to do things HER way or not at all. She is a handful-- excuse me, PAWful, and although she is a value asset to the Clan due to her natural gift of battle ability and tact, she is a firecracker and very hard to teach due to her attitude and inflated ego. She's quick witted and sarcastic, disobedient and crude. Snowpaw really is, underneath the facade, a highly intelligent and very tactful cat, but she's too busy goofing off and getting herself into trouble to make any of those better qualities known. Snowpaw has an understandably hard time making friends due to her crude sense of humor and inability to maintain close relationships, so she has developed a sort of loner complex and rarely attempts to form bonds with her peers and Clanmates. Perhaps under it all, she's really just a lonely little she-cat trying her best not to show it.
STRENGTHS: Naturally good fighter, tactful, quick-witted, very strong for her size
WEAKNESSES: Clusmy, unbalanced, small in stature, stubborn, headstrong, reckless
HISTORY: [opt.] Unknown, but she has no remaining kin in CedarClan
KIN: None
LOVE INTEREST: May or may not develop
OTHER: ;-)
