Application Guide

[ APPLICATION ART & DESIGN ]

• Cat is drawn standing sideways. If your character's design is not symmetrical, PLEASE INCLUDE YOUR CHARACTER'S OTHER SIDE either on the application itself or linked somewhere in the description.
• Design is SEMI-REALISTIC (colour hues are allowed WITHIN REASON).
• Below is the acceptable level of saturation:

[ BASICS ]

Name:

• Their name fits Warriors standards.
  • Prefixsuffix structure.
    • The prefix is usually based off appearance.
    • The suffix is usually based on a skill / defining personality trait.

Previous Names:

• This means all of the names they've had throughout their life before their current one!
  • E.g. For Exampleclaw, their previous names would be Examplekit and Examplepaw.

Starting Date:

• Exactly as it sounds: the date in which your character started in the group. You can leave this blank and add it in once they've been accepted.

Starting Age:

• This is needed in order for staff to adjust their age on the Roster as time passes. Do not edit your character's starting age.

Gender & Pronouns:

• We are an LGBTQ+ friendly group and accept all genders! While your character will have a designated sex at birth, stating what it is remains completely optional. All characters can have kits together from the blessing of Starclan so we don't need to know c:
• We also accept neopronouns!

Clan:

• If your character is in a clan, they must have been BORN in the clan and remained in the clan unless they are older than the clans' formation (17 moons in the History) -- otherwise they need to purchase a ban. This is also the case for any Stray characters -- they need to have been a Stray their whole life, otherwise they need to purchase a ban.
  • All other options require a purchase from the Store! Below are the available purchases related to character history so if any of these fit what you have in mind for your character, they will need to be purchased:
    • Parent Left Clan, Rogue Heritage, Kittypet Heritage, Half-Clan, Changed Clan, Left Clan

Rank:

• Your choice of rank for your character is limited to NORMAL RANKS.
  • i.e. Novices, Sentinel, Guardian, etc.
  • Please have a look at your clan's information page to see what specific ranks they have in their hierarchy:
    • Leafclan
    • Soaringclan
• Strays do not have ranks so this section can be deleted!

Scars, Accessories & Bans:

• Your character is allowed to start with scars (WITHIN REASON). Any scars that you wish to give to your character after they have been accepted into the group MUST BE PURCHASED.
• Your first character can't start with accessories, UNLESS A MEMBER PURCHASES THEM FOR YOU AND GIFTS THEM TO YOU ONCE YOU JOIN THE GROUP. Secondary+ characters can start with accessories but they must be bought beforehand and linked in the character submission form.
• Your first character can't start with bans, UNLESS A MEMBER PURCHASES THEM FOR YOU AND GIFTS THEM TO YOU ONCE YOU JOIN THE GROUP. Secondary+ characters can start with bans but they must be bought beforehand and linked in the character submission form.
• A character may only have a MAXIMUM OF 3 BANS.

• A minimum of 3 POSITIVE, 3 NEUTRAL & 3 NEGATIVE TRAITS.
  • Traits shouldn't clash (e.g. you can't be Confident and Shy at the same time).
• 'In Depth' is optional, though highly encouraged.

• In their kithood, their parents & siblings should be named.
  • Relationship should be explored / developed.
• In their novicehood, their mentor should be named & explored.
  • What was their first impression of their mentor? Did they always knew they were going to choose this training rank, or were they unsure? How did their mentor affect their development personality and ability wise?
    • Joining novices characters are assigned a mentor after approval so their mentor & the above necessities should be added retrospectively.
• After their graduation, their new name should be stated & their suffix reasoning given.
• GROUP HISTORY IS REFERENCED.
  • Read the History page if you're unsure what specific events have affected your character.
  • If you're confused about what to include in your character's history or wish to check if you've included everything, please use our History Guide.

• Your cat doesn't need to know their orientation! You can put 'Questioning' here if you so choose.

• There are age limits to when a character may have Mates & Offspring:
  • A character must be 12+ moons to have a mate.
  • A character must be 16+ moons to have offspring unless the Young Parent Litter item is purchased.
• Your character may have previous PC mate(s) but are only allowed NPC current mate(s) if you would like them to have one.
• If you would like to host tryouts of your character's offspring, they must START AT NOVICEHOOD AGE (6+ MOONS OLD).
