ShoreClan
The Wetlands
-Territory-
The Wetlands are ShoreClan's main territory, used for hunting, gathering herbs, and training apprentices. Recently a rogue group called "The Reckoning" established that the territory was theirs, so ShoreClan has been pushed to only using the river.
- Camp -
The Shoreclan camp is up on a hill near the water. It's in a slightly wooded area.
(Use this picture as reference until I get everything sorted.)
PREY (IN ORDER OF THE MOST COMMON): Fish, reptiles, mice, birds
THE WILLOW TREE
The Weeping Willow is a tree that the first cats that established Shoreclan came across when they were journeying to find a forever home. It gave them hope for the future, therefore they planted many flowers around the tree to represent how it would help their clan flourish.
LILY'S POND
In memory of Lilysong, the first medicine-cat of Shoreclan, there's a pond in the Wetlands called Lily's Pond. It is a small shaped pond, in similar shape to a lily flower. To dedicate the pond to Lilysong, cats who knew her have placed things she loved around the pond. (Various types of flowers, feathers, and stones.)
RULES:
1. Drama: Drama is a huge factor in roleplay, yes, but it is expected that roleplay drama does not become out of roleplay drama. Along with that, roleplay drama should be limited: not more than one huge plot a week, no queens having kits every 3 days, no unplanned rogue attacks, fox attacks, etc
2. Conflict: We are a strict plan-before-do clan. Raids/attempted battles will be ignored. As in, don't have your apprentice go off and suddenly be attacked by a fox, if you decide to ignore this rule, you will be punished. If you'd like for there to be some battle/raid/or whatever, message Newtstar (me), and it will be considered.
3. Apprentices:Apprentices may NOT have a mate, though they may have crushes. They must have had 8 training sessions with their mentor before they can become a warrior. (4 hunting sessions, 8 battle sessions). Apprentices must be approved by their mentor before they become a warrior. Apprentices may NOT leave camp unless they are with their mentor or a warrior.
4.Kittens :Kits may NOT leave camp, even if they're with a warrior. There may not be more than 5 kits in a litter. When joining as a kit, you must have a cat who can b their mother, it can be NPC, your own character, or it can be someone who has agreed to be your parent. They do not have to be related, adopted works fine as well.
5. Queens:Queens may not have more than 3 kittens in a litter. Queens may not have over 3 litters in a month. A queen cannot have another litter until her kittens are apprentices. Rogue mates are acceptable, but there will be punishments (in rp) administered.
6. Respect: Respect is one of the most valued rule in ShoreClan. Respect for high ranks is important, but respect for each other comes above all else. Have respect for people's opinions and never bully/harass another member. Swearing, harassment/bullying, racial slurs, homophobic jokes, are prohibited in the roleplay and outside it. While we don't all have to agree, this is a clan, and we're all just here to have a good time. People should feel welcome, not excluded. If I catch you bullying another member with any of the named things above, you will be kicked out of this roleplay and you will NOT be able to rejoin the roleplay.
If anyone starts having trouble with another member of the roleplay, please contact me.
Characters:
Naming: Please name your oc something appropriate for the climate or their personaltiy. ShoreClan is based near the ocean and is surrounded by the ocean and cliffs, so there is minimal knowledge of fish, flowers, or materials that are beyond the shore, and cliff. For example, a cat wouldn't know what coffee is.
Characteristics: Pelt- Pure-blooded ShoreClanners generally have longer fur, most often silver, gray, or color point pelts. Tabbies are more uncommon though not unheard of, along with tortoiseshells and calicos. Generally ShoreClanners are natural at swimming, and if a cat is not able to swim, or is afraid of water, they are frowned upon and called a "dry-paw". They have long legs to accommodate the water and marshy areas where they live.
Creation:Before creating an oc, please take into regard what you'd enjoy roleplaying. If you're a very social, energetic person, roleplaying an oc that is shy and anti-social probably isn't for you. Take into account your personality and what you'd find interesting to roleplay before making a oc. Make your oc's personality balanced, so have 3 positive traits and 3 negative at least
Plots:Instead of trying to plan something on the spot, ShoreClan uses plots. Plots are basically forms you submit involving the idea you've like to roleplay. For example, you would post a plot about a fox attack, your oc joining the clan, major plots, etc.
-Plots regarding sensitive topics, such as suicide, ****, and apprentice pregnancy are not allowed. Plots regarding mental diseases such as dementia, depression, etc, will be allowed as long as you fully understand the concept and severity of these mental diseases, and understand that some of our members do suffer from these illnesses. You must also notify the leader beforehand and receive permission to submit the plot form.
Ocs: You are only allowed two ocs your first two weeks of roleplaying. If I feel like you can handle another oc, and you really want to have another oc, you will be granted one.
