[color=#C7B89B]Ranks + Imporant Information
There is no leader, or a rank system in fact. Dominance over others may be gained in any way that someone wants, either through physical strength or mutually gained respect. Point is, there is no official leadership that makes the decision for everyone.
Everyone is unique, as they all have differences whether it be a weakness or strength. Many have their own original talents and skills.
Everyone may choose their own title to be known by, which may also represents their job in this group. For example, Flara the Inspired Scratcher. 'Flara' is the cat's name, which is used by only those who are close to her. It is considered rude or offensive for a stranger to call a cat in this group by just their name. 'Inspired Scratcher' is her title, as she is an imaginative cat who likes to scratch at the ground to create art. Cats are addressed as their title by those that don't know them well and only has knowledge of their self-given title. Or, when one is addressing the other with great respect.
Cats are free to believe in any religion they choose. Some may be former clan cats or kittypets.
These cats are only bonded by one thing: Respect. Every one of them are allowed to be rude or violent to one another as long as they don't look down at each other as if they are worthless. These cats may be rather eccentric and strange compared to most clans, tribes, anti-clans etc. As they are allowed to be or not to be loyal to an individual, they may even betray them but still stay in The Soles. The one thing that is not allowed is to think they are superior simply because they have a skill the other don't or is better at something. That is their definition of respect, politeness is not the essential at all. It is equality that matters.
Rules
The Sole Code [IC]: (these are rules set and followed by the Soles themselves, in other words the characters being roleplayed. Therefore, it is OOCly allowed for your character to break any of these, I won't ban YOU from the thread or anything. It would add some tension and drama, and may even help characters develop.)
1. "Everyone is different [in personality, skills etc.] yet equal in worth", one must accept this statement to be part of The Soles.
2. To degrade one's value is forbidden, even if they are doing it to themselves. For example, saying "you/I don't deserve to live!"
3. Believing and/or showing that you are better than others is strongly discouraged.
4. To kill a fellow Sole is the utmost forbidden act.
5. Betrayal to an individual due to personal reason(s) is fine, but betraying the whole group is considered stupid. Cats would normally be banned for betraying everyone.
6. Slaves are forbidden, obviously as keeping one degrades that slave's worth. But companions and 'henchmen' are allowed to have as long as they respect one another equally.
7. All animals allowed.
OOC
-Constructive + reasonable arguments and debates are allowed, but you must not do it on the RP thread. You can do it on a chat or even plot thread if you wish.
-Plain insults and offensive acts to another roleplayer will result in a warning, in extreme cases a temporary/permanent ban.
-Spam not allowed.
-To make it brief, don't do things people wouldn't like generally.
-Please be literate when roleplaying: no one-liners, have good grammar and don't forget your capitals~!
-PM if you're going to be inactive.
[There is no code words, as I expect just about everyone to read most of what's written here. It will be self-evident if someone doesn't since The Soles is different to the average clans, it'll be obvious if someone writes "Blueeyes yawned and padded out of the warriors den."]
Territory/prey/predators (a must-read for roleplaying)
Everyone is allowed to sleep and make dens anywhere within The Sole's territory to create their own personal home. They may hide their private objects, bury their own prey and hunt their own too. Freedom is flexible here.
[font=times new roman]This should be the most popular 'hang out spot'. When cats want to share stories, their creations and prey, they usually gather here. Events, competitions and important announcements are held here too. Most importantly, during a war or any other time of darkness (the plague etc.), it is encouraged for everyone to stay here. It's basically the camp.

A clearing, completely exposed to sunlight and wind. Thankfully, it is in the very center of the entire territory so anyone can find it easily.
[font=times new roman]Basically, the whole territory is this dense and mossy forest. Cats can chose to dig burrows or live high in the branches. Some are lucky to find hollow logs to reside in. Be creative!

[font=times new roman] Where the sun hardly reach, is where it marks the edges of our territory. There are rumors of ghost-like entities wandering here. Who knows, maybe the stories are true? One must be quite brave to live here.
