*purrs* hello! My name is Winterstar, leader of BrookClan. These clan's are based off the warrior cat books. when you first join a clan, and if you are still a kitten, you are called ____kit. For instance, I was Winterkit. Six moons later, a moon is a month but we don't go by months, so a week or to later, you become an apprentice. Apprentices are young cats who are training to become warriors. They are assigined mentors and are called ______paw, like Winterpaw. Then about 6 moons, or a couple of weeks later, you become a warrior. As a warrior, you go on patrols, possibly have kits, and maybe even become deputy, and possibly leader! the most possilbe endings for warrior names are, storm, blaze, heart, claw, shine, cloud, fire, pool, and others. I was Winterheart, Deputies assigin patrols and become leader after the leader looses their ninth life. Queens nurse and take care of their kits. If you get very old, you can retire to the elders den. Elders are respected by all clan members, and get to rest. But, if a cat dies, elders must bury the body after the evening vigil. Oh yeah, Warrior's first night as a warrior must sit a full night vigil. Leaders have nine lives. Please join BrookClan!!!! 

PS if you have any other questions please ask. AND if you need help deciding on a name, I'll help. AND you can join as a kit, apprentice, warrior, queen, or even an elder!

theeee topppp!

Hello. You could also join LakeClan if you want, but if you join BrookClan or another Clan, I still respect your decision.

Winterstar forgot to mention StarClan. Warriors cats believe that, when they die,  if they live well, and by the warrior code, which I will mention later, they become stars in the Silverpelt (Milky Way Galaxy), and join a grou of dead cats collectively known as StarClan. Warrior cats venerate StarClan. It is StarClan who grants Clan leaders 9 lives.

Medicine cats heal the injured and sick warriors. They also interpret omens from StarClan.

In the books, evil cats go to a forest of darkness when they die, but they can communicate with living cats through dreams, like StarClan.  In the RPs, we found a place for them to go where they can't interfere with the living: Everburn Forest. You have to keep running, and running, and running, or be burned by flames for all eternity. Not a pleasant place. And of course you'd be 

When the Clans first begun, the first Clan leaders wrote a set of rules for Clan  cats. These rules came to be called the Warrior Code. Winterstar posted most of the most important ones, but here's a complete list of them all. They are:

• Defend your Clan, even with your life. You may have friendships
  with cats from other Clans, but your loyalty must remain to your Clan,
  as one day you may meet them in battle.

• Do not hunt or trespass on another Clans' territory.
  We don't actually pay much attention to the trespassing part of this rule. If we trespass on
  someone else's territory, we apologize and explain, unless we want to
  join the Clan, but we don't hesitate to trespass if necessary, and no one's ever really punished or even scolded for doing it.

• Elders and kits must be fed before apprentices and warriors.
  Unless they have permission, apprentices may not eat until they have
  hunted to feed the Elders.

• Prey is killed only to be eaten. Give thanks to StarClan for its life.

• A kit must be at least six moons old to become an apprentice. Like Winterstar said, it's not technically 6 moons.

• Newly appointed warriors will keep a silent vigil for one night after receiving their warrior name. This is often much less than 1 night, as we don't go by real time.

• A cat cannot be made deputy without having mentored at least one apprentice. No 1 pays attention to this much either, as new Clans need deputies before there's time for an apprentice to be mentored. In the books, there were only 4 Clans, and never any new ones.

• The deputy will become Clan leader when the leader dies or retires.
• After the death or retirement of the deputy, the new deputy must be chosen before moonhigh.  That can be wheneveer we want.

• A Gathering
  of all four Clans is held at the full moon during a truce that lasts
  for the night. There shall be no fighting among Clans at this time. We include the  2 days before and after the full moon so that everyone can say what they need to. There's a Gathering going on right now, in fact. And of course, if anyone has anything to say that's too important to wait for a Gathering, then they just comment on the thread and everyone can see it.

• Boundaries must be checked and marked daily. Challenge all
  trespassing cats. Of course, there isn't any challenging these days, and boundaries are automatically checked if you just read the thread.

• No warrior can neglect a kit in pain or danger, even if the kit is from a different Clan. 

• The word of the Clan leader is the warrior code.

• An honorable warrior does not need to kill other cats to win
  his battles, unless they are outside the warrior code or it is
  necessary for self-defense.

• A warrior rejects the soft life of a kittypet.

And there are many other things you can learn as you go along. It's best you start out as an apprentice, or a medicine cat apprentice, or even just a kit.

By the "warrior cat books", we mean the Warriors series written by Erin Hunter.

Hey Clueless, maybe you should get the warriors books from the library. That is if you go to a library close to your house or if you go to one at all.
