Warrior Clans

Ranks:

These are the ranks of the clan members:

Leader: Well, the name says all. There are four leaders off our clans. Leaders can be male or female, and are the heads of their clans. The clan follows them without question (unless they're unloyal or something) and the leader has nine lives, once they travel to StarClan. When they recieve their nine lives from StarClan, their name will be changed from let's say, as an example, "Fireheart to Firestar". Only leaders may have 'star' in their name!

Deputy: The deputies again can be male or female, and are basically like the second-in-command to the leader. These cats can have kits when they are deputy. They round up most of the patrols and hunting parties of the clan.

Medicine Cats: Well, does the name not speak for itself? These cats are trained in the ways of StarClan, male or female, and are forbidden to kitting if they are female. These cats, unlike all others, receive their warior name in the darkness of the rocks of Highstones, where StarClan tells them their name.

Warriors: The main body of the Clan, and trained in the ways of a noble code from their ancestors. These cats, at any time, can kit and breed, for no real breeding season is set, though it would be most realistic to breed one Spring and kit in the next. These cats were once apprentices, but got their warrior name from the leader in a ceremonie. Warriors can have more complex names-such as (Jade, Fire, Flame, Blue, Red, Tan, Small, Falling, Ebon, Rabbit, etc.) at the beginning. But at the end, they could have anything from, (Face, tail, claw, legs, toes, eye, ear, nose, pelt, fur, fang, tooth) as the common ones or the unusuall ones,(Stream, lake, pool, leaf, frost, wing, feather...etc...)

Queens: The she-cats that are either going to bear kits, nursing kits, or helping with the other queens. Once warriors, and sleep in the nursery. They are forbidden to fight unless inevitable. They also may not be mentors.

Apprentices: The younger cats of the clan, and currently being mentored by a warrior that had been assigned to each tom or she-cat. Once kits, they now have apprentice names. All aprpentices have 'paw' at the end of their name, before they are made warriors.

Elders: Where all cats go when they are close to the end of their lives, or are disabled in some way or another. Soon to join the ranks of StarClan.

Kits: These tiny bundles of fur are the complete resource of the clan. They are made into apprentices when they are six moons old. Their mothers chose the first part of their name. Then, when they are made into apprentices, 'kit' is replaced with 'paw' as the secound part of their name. Then when they are warriors, the leaders replace 'paw' with another ending.
