The Warrior Code
Warrior cats have these 15 set guidelines for clan life. If your cat fails to follow the Warrior Code, they could be sent to their nest without prey, have to remove ticks from the elders' fur for a moon, be exiled from their clan, or worse - sent to the Dark Forest!
Of course, there's no direct penalty for you if your character does not follow the Warrior Code; after all, it's all happening within the roleplay! Punishments will be dealt to your character by the leader, deputy, or medicine cat of your clan depending on how badly your character breaks the Code.
However, if you break the Forum Rules, you will be the one getting punished and not your character.
1. Defend your clan, even at the cost of your life. You may have friends in other Clans, but your loyalty must remain with your own Clan, as one day you will meet them in battle.
2. Do not hunt or trespass on another Clan's territory.
3. Elders and kits must be fed before anyone else.
4. Prey is caught only to be eaten. Give thanks to StarClan for its life.
5. A kit must be at least 6 months old to become an apprentice.
6. Newly appointed warriors must sit in vigil for one night after
being appointed.
7. A cat cannot be made deputy if they haven't had an apprentice.
8. The Deputy will become clan leader after the leader dies.
9. After the passing or retirement of the deputy, a new one must be appointed before moonhigh.
10. At a Gathering, there is a truce. Do not fight.
11. Boundries must be checked daily. Challenge all trespassing cats.
12. No warrior may neglect a kit in danger.
13. The word of the clan leader is the Warrior Code.
14. An honorable warrior does not need to kill other cats to win battles.
15. A warrior rejects the soft life of a kittypet.
