No mature, graphic, racist, sexist, otherwise prejudiced, or inappropriate content. This includes (but is not limited to) statements, images, personal messages, and alternative forms of expression on the site.
No chatspeak or l33tspeak, please.
Behavior-wise, be polite, be respectful. Please don't swear in excess or make people uncomfortable with profanity or words meant to unsettle or upset. We do have M-rated threads - this just means you put an "M" in the title of your thread and then use the first post/subsequent posts as a disclaimer for whatever makes it mature (violence, profanity, etc.) - but please do not overuse or inappropriately use this feature. Mature threads should also be used to indicate if trigger-topics will be discussed (homophobia, anorexia, etc.).
One account per person! Character limit is 12 characters, more can be purchased in the shop.
We do require basic knowledge of grammar and spelling. Our site is beginner to advanced, which - if it should mean anything to you at all - means this is a place to grow in writing ability, not show-off.
character
The use of the prefix or suffix "sun,"* "star," "spirit"* and "moon"* are banned within the four forest Clans, as are the prefixes "thunder," "wind," "river," or "shadow." You cannot create a character named Silverpelt or Moonstone. However, you can name your character with the prefixs "Moon" and "Sun" by buying the item from shop.
No sob-story histories, or a history that seems implausible/without justification. Note also that your history must be reflected in your personality, and potentially your appearance. If you want to put something as serious and heavy as abuse in your history, then you must also be detailed and thorough in how it has affected the character's personality.
Names, appearances, and personalities should be entirely realistic, but do not have to match "traditional/canon" naming systems.
You may not roleplay as a cat from the books. Your character can share a name with one, but can't actually be the character. Please do not write histories for original characters that include characters or events outside of our site's canon history.

No purely OOC posts in an IC thread. They take up space. If you're simply apologizing for not posting, either send a PM or modify the OOC post to add your IC content later (or delete the OOC post later).
Killing another's character without permission is prohibited. The battle thread would be locked and moved to archives without warning.
An apprentice cannot defeat or kill a fully grown warrior.
A kit cannot attack or kill another character with, or without permission. Nor should they participate in a battle.
Knowledge of herbs and medicines should only be to medicine cats. A past medicine cat apprentice cannot share their herbal knowledge with other cats either.
A cat helping another species or a different animal helping or tending to a cat isn't allowed as this isn't realistic.
Apprentices shouldn't know how to fight or hunt until they're taught to.
Creating unauthorized prophecies, groups/gangs, or omens is not allowed. Should you have an idea for a plot, private message a staff member, and it will be considered.
If you wish to speak to a leader or be healed by a medicine cat, private message them first - do not have your character enter their den and expect to be catered to.
Animals other than cats can only be roleplayed in the main section of the site when described in relation to your characters. [e.g: "a bird flies overhead" or during an attack]
Queens should be pregnant for at least a month (real life time) however two months is preferred.
