𝗠𝗢𝗨𝗡𝗧𝗔𝗜𝗡 𝗦𝗢𝗨𝗡𝗗 ━━ warrior cats roleplay

━━ in-character rules

━━━━ 𝗢𝗡𝗘
permission must be given before injuring
another character randomly. however,
there are consequences to every action. if
a character acts in a violent manner in
their same clan, punishment can be
expected, and permission isn't needed,
but this must not be abused by characters ,

━━━━ 𝗧𝗪𝗢
refrain from fighting within the individual
clans without reason. fighting can be a
punishable offence for the clan cats, and can
come with consequences too. if a higher
ranked feline needs to step in, they can do
so, in order to break up any fights occurring ,

━━━━ 𝗧𝗛𝗥𝗘𝗘
there will be no tolerance for this. kits are
those that are 6 moons and under, and are
the "future of the clans". and so, purposeful
injury to a kit would mean heavy punishment
upon a character. so, refrain from harming
kits. not only is this not ideal, but it may also
make some user uncomfortable as they are
essentially babies and children of the clans.
it is normal for a kit to he stillborn, or any
form of natural causes to cause death, but
an adult cat within their own clan must
not kill, injure or maim a kit. this also includes
any violence towards kits in backstories, again,
it can be uncomfortable for others to read ,

━━━━ 𝗙𝗢𝗨𝗥
acts of violence, disobedience and disrespect
come at a cost - consequences. those who
are higher ranked, ie leaders etc, will be able
to step into in-character fighting. punishment
can range anywhere from a stern talking to,
being demoted, wounded, maimed, or worse
depending on the situation - and if a cat
needs to be punished, please ask me before so
i can dish out the correct form of punishment,
or so everyone can discuss it beforehand ,

━━━━ 𝗙𝗜𝗩𝗘
characters will die. if you wish for yours
to die, that's fine, just make sure it's made
clear with how and when they will die, so we
can all go about it and possibly include it into
any plots that we currently have in mind ,

━━━━ 𝗦𝗜𝗫
when it comes to disabilities, please be
respectful of such a topic. you are expected
to have an understanding of any form of
disability or illness you give your character,
that does not mean you have to give your
cat everything under the sun and make
them the centre of attention - it can be a
very irritating thing to watch, especially if
one does not know what they are dealing
with in regards to the illness/disability.
when giving a character something that
would hinder them physically or mentally,
you are expected to do research, and you are
to portray them in a respectful manner that
doesn't stereotype or offend anyone, not
just "my character has a mental illness,
therefore they always act out irrationally" ,

━━━━ 𝗦𝗘𝗩𝗘𝗡
refrain from young characters, mainly kits
and apprentices, from having litters. it's
just eh... it's best to wait for warriorhood ,

━━━━ 𝗘𝗜𝗚𝗛𝗧
character limits are unlimited. you may
have as many cats as you like, but you
remember all the limitations provided ,
.
if, for example, you have 11 characters
and only use 8 of them, you will be told
to either kill off / remove those unused,
or given a few days to add them in again ,

━━━━ 𝗡𝗜𝗡𝗘
garystu's and marysue's are characters
that are perfect, with no flaws. this is not
allowed - all characters will have flaws,
weak points in personality or physical
ability. flaws do not have to be physical,
they can be invisible. all characters must
have balance - for example, a character
may be very fast, but very weak physically ,

━━━━ 𝗧𝗘𝗡
when kits are born, the mother or father of
them will not be able to play as all of the
kits - except for the first few moons, when
they are still heavily reliant on their mother
for food and warmth, and cannot move.
the kits will be given up as characters that
can be adopted out by other players, and
the owner of the mother and father are
only allowed to take one kit slot if they wish,
this doesn't mean you have to take one ,

━━━━ 𝗘𝗟𝗘𝗩𝗘𝗡
god-modding, power-playing and being
all-knowing is frowned upon. god-modding
is making someone else's characters do
something, otherwise known as "playing god".
this can be in the instance of saying your
character did something to another character,
and forcing someone's response. power-
playing is manipulating a situation of your
character to have an advantage over others.
all-knowing is making your character
"know" things they wouldn't, such as another's
inner thoughts, or out of character ideas and
plots that have not yet occurred. an example
of this would be a player saying their feline
was nervous, but didn't display any behaviour,
and your character immediately knows this ,

━━━━ 𝗧𝗪𝗘𝗟𝗩𝗘
young or younger characters can not be a
high-ranking role. you will not see a
cat whom is 14 moons old who is leader.
the only exception is the med cat ,

━━━━ 𝗧𝗛𝗜𝗥𝗧𝗘𝗘𝗡
do not go and make a whole family tree as
your characters. what i mean by this is, do
not create a character, and then their mate,
and their four offspring for you to role-
play as. it's incredibly boring to watch and
i find it pointless if you join a roleplay and
interact solely with yourself ,
