    Welcome

    Your paws ached.. you weren't sure why you were running, and you had forgot how long you had been running as well.

    "I SEE THE LONER!"

    Ah, yes, you were running from them.. from clan cats. You looked over your shoulder, a speckled tom was pactically flying over the ground as he pelted after you. Quickly, you jumped, claws scraping on a tree as he grabbed onto it's trunk, hauling yourself up into it. The tom was quick to follow but you knew this tree. With careful paws, you lept onto the highest branch. It was sturdy for one cat and you anticipated what would happen shortly. You moved toward the end of the branch, a branch from a neighboring tree jutted out enough if you fell, you could grab onto it. Sure enough, the speckled tom climbed onto the branch, hissing as he edged closer.

    The branch creaked.

    A soft crackle..

    A slightly louder crackle. You allowed a smile to tug at your maw as his ears drew back realizing he had been set up. The branch snapped. The tom falling, hitting many branches along the way, while you fell onto the branch below from the other tree, you quickly scrambled across the branch and began to leap onto neighboring tree branches, slowly coming to the ground before pelting away. You looped around in a circle to where the group of cats had started their chase.

    A plump bird sat on the ground. Picking it up in your jaws, you began to run away again. The forest scenery slowly opened up into a moor. You slowed your pace as you looked over the many cats in the area. One's large, black, bushy tail waved in greeting. "Excellent. Did SpeckledPelt chase you again?" You looked toward your paws as the tom asked the question. "Yes, Night.. But.. he wont be chasing us any further.. i tricked him onto the highest tree branch and he fell to his death."You reply. Night seems surprised but nods.


    "Very good.. i knew you had it in you. You will be an excellent fighter or hunter one day [name].. As for your trial.. I welcome you to the Nomads."Night said and gave a low yowl, the other cats followed, a welcoming yowl.

    History

    The clan was founded by a shecat named Sundew over 50 moons ago. However, Sundew and the many followers she had.. were corrupt. A tom who believed he was born in the clan was shocked whem he learned from a healer that his mother was actually of a clan the Nomads took out. He began to realize the corruption of their leader, their deputy.. all of them. He rounded up a group of catd who agreed with him and started a civil war. And.. He won.

    This tom is the current leader, Night.

    Night was voted as the new Leader by most of the older cats. He then expanded ranks, seeing importance in having two leaders, two deputies, 2 healers, 2 healer trainees, and so on. But he also didnt want another Sundew to rise up, and so.. he created the trials. The trials helped sort cats into a correct rank and limit cats who were frightened easily, enter a rank more suitable for them, and braver cats enter a rank more suited for them. He then added new ranks, to help appease the members of the clan.

    This is the golden age, the Night of our lives..

    Beliefs

    Night does not believe in anything. Gods, starclan, the dark forest, the light or dark ones. However, you may choose any faith you wish so long as you do not try to force that belief upon others. Night does believe in Reincarnation. But he believes it is different.

    He believes a cat is only reincarnated once before their soul disappears and is recreated into a new soul of a new cat.

    Ranks

    The [high] ranks must be opposite genders as they will be mates. Grey is a tom, Pink a female.

    Territory

    The images in the spoiler are what the area and surrounding areas we live in look like. In leafbare, we reside in the thinner area of the forest away from our neighboring clan, HallowClan.

    The Territory

    The Laws

    Our clan has laws that EACH member is expected to follow. Discipline depends on the Law.

    > No harm may fall upon a cat that is unable to defend themselves.

    > A Truce is a unbreakable promise. The one between clans under the moon is no exception. Breakers WILL be punished severely by bannishment.

    > A cat of 5 moons undergoes their first task which deems whether they should be a trainee then or later. If failed, they wait another moon.

    > All cats are worth helping when in need.

    > If a cat from another clan attacks, you may attack out of defense.

    > The Leaders' word is Law. Only they may create new laws.

    > Rouges, Loners and kittypets are accepted into the clan with open arms as ANY cat is capable of becoming a proper hunter/fighter with training.

    > All hunting parties must have at least 3 fighters with them.

    > when we are traveling to a new area, bring only what is needed. Certain herbs and prey.

    > We do NOT steal young. If one steals the young of another clan, they will be killed and the young returned by a Leader and a Deputy.

    Trainee Trials

    Each trainee must do these trials from age of 5 moons to 11 moons. The trials occur on their 5th, 7th, 9th and 11th moon alive.


    First Trial;

    At five moons, a kit will leave the nursery and attempt to climb to the highest branch of the oak tree at the gathering place. If they succeed they get to be made a trainee immediately.


    Second Trial;

    At seven moons, a trainee will go through a trial befitting their training.

    The fighter trainees spar with their mentor, the one to surrender loses. If the trainee fails they will get another chance the next moon.

    Hunter trainees must hunt 3 pieces of prey. Type doesn't matter.


    Third Trial;

    At Nine moons, a trainee will do their second trial as a trainee.

    Hunter trainees must hunt 6 pieces of prey down.

    Fighter trainees must fight one of the deputies.


    Fourth Trial;

    At eleven moons, a trainee does their final trial before becoming the rank they desired.

    Hunters must successfully kill an adder [snake].

    Fighters must fight one another. The winner will be ranked up while the loser must do another moon of training.


    Healer Trainees;

    Healer's do not get trials. They do receive hunting and battle training [very minimal amounts] to care for themselves if need be.


    Switching training;

    Not satisfied as a hunter? Dont like fighting? A cat is welcome to switch their training but they have to endure harsher training in order to catch up with others.

    Ceremonies

    Since cats do not get renamed, there aren't very many. When a cat enters a new rank, the leader announces it and the cat is welcomed by others in that rank.

    If a mother births a litter, she is congratulated by the leader or leaders and a deputy will hunt them fresh food for the next three days.

    Personality [5+ sentences]Twilight is a very loyal and kind she-cat. She's open minded to almost anything and everything but will not allow others make her decisions. She's smart, intelligent, and very good to go to for advice. Twili is sweet tempered, and very kind if you look past her shell of coldness. She's actually a wonderful cat to be around...surprisingly. Twi is friendly, yet can be stern and very over-protective of the Nomads in general.

    History [6+ sentences]Twilight and Briar were both born to a clan medicine cat and a rogue. Their mother had left the clan to be able to take care of them and be with her mate. There were three kits in total; Briar, Twilight, and Spirit. everything was perfect, until Briar ended up getting injured and she could never be the same. Their mother died of greencough, and their father blamed them. They were hurt and abused so much that Spirit was actually killed. Briar and Twilight left the den, running until they came upon this clan. Growing up here, Twilight had fallen in love with a tom, becoming leader while Briar, forever crippled with a limp became a healer.

    Personality [5+ sentences]Briar is very different from Twili. She is quiet, shy, and timid. She's uneasy around large groups and hates being the center of attention. She's honest, and loyal too. She will do anything to protect the clan, just as her sister would. She's wise, accepting, and open minded to other ideas. She is a cat which will protect those dear to her. She also is smart, intelligent, and has a great herbal memory. On top of such....She can be stern...and takes her job seriously.

    History [6+ sentences]Look at Twilight's form, it's the same as hers.

    Personality [5+ sentences]

    Raven is a very shy and quiet cat, she often blends into the background and rarely is assertive. She has a kind heart and tends to follow her own set of rules of what is right and what is wrong. Being from a Clan, she has their mindset of no cat left behind, care for everyone regardless of where they came from and to follow the warrior code is ingrained in her veins. Though she is mild-tempered, when she does get upset she tends to hold grudges. Raven is also an easy crier, and takes thing to heart when criticized or scolded.


    History [6+ sentences]

    Raven was born as Ravenkit in a clan once known as Rippleclan. She was born to her mother after her mothers' clan dissipated, and was taken in by the newly made leader Echostar. She was born along side her two brothers, Blackkit and Kresltekit. Her kithood was pretty normal as she grew up, but when she became an apprentice is when she started to question things.

    See Ravenpaw was born as a tomcat, but never felt like a tomcat. Being the shyer and sweeter of the three, she was often treated like a she-cat due to her personality. She liked it and thought it was normal, that is till her body started to develop differently. Her shoulders where a little broader, her stance more masculine and her voice lowered. Not liking this what so ever, she started to force her body to act different. Forced her voice to be higher, and such.

    One day she went to Echostar and confessed her feelings to him, and he was very welcoming to her. Allowing her to be referred to as a she-cat and be treated as such. Though Krestlepaw did not like this and the two got into an altercation that ended in Ravenpaw having two large scars on her chest from her brother. Ravenpaw cried after that and avoided her once beloved older brother till she became the medicine cat of Rippleclan, Ravenflight.

    Sadly, the clan had separated and cats went their own way. Thus leaving Ravenflight to leave on her own, as her brothers went their separate ways. She traveled on her own for a while, meeting all kinds of cats along the way and having great adventures. Then she came across this group of traveling cats, and well she approached the leader and asked to join them. She wanted to see more of this world, but no longer alone. She thought the Nomads where a perfect place for her to be.

    Approved. Though i am not sure about her being a male and associating as a female. Since animals arent like that and the Warriors world doesnt have cats like that either.

    i would prefer. I want the roleplay to be as realistic as possible. But im fine if your character is perhaps a more feminine male [perhaps looks more like a shecat, has a high voice] now that is possible ^^

    Dixie is jumpy and excitable, and she prefers being by herself. However, she is loyal to those she makes tight bonds with. She is an accomplished fighter, specializing in tree jumping, like skyclan does. She enjoys the dark, and spends most of the day napping. She is stubborn, and generally sticks to her first choice.
    History [6+ sentences]


    She was born to two kittypets, but got bored, at 3 moons old, and ran away. She was by herself for 2 moons, with plenty of opportunity to go back, but she didn't. At 5 moons, she found the nomads, at their leaf-bare camp. She stayed with them since, and graduated to warrior at 12 moons, as she lost the fight against another fighter.
