After the storm, where will you stand? Following a flood many many moons ago, the way of the clans was abandoned following a loss of faith in StarClan. However, Kittypets and Loners have attempted to revive the old clans --- learning the Warrior Code and the ways of StarClan for themselves. However, unrest has begun to grow between the clans. Will this artifical peace continue to last? Or is an all out war on the brink of occuring?
WELCOME TO WARRIORS: AGE OF STORMS!

updates
< 07.30.2017 > Welcome to the grand opening of Age of Storms! As we are a new site and need a member base we have a promotion on until the end of August. Members who sign up prior to the end of August may disregard the 5 IC post rule and make a max of three characters before the rule matters.
It is currently Summer, prey is abundant and the heat feels nice on the fur. Tides are low thanks to the heat.

★ high ranks
here on age of storms, we welcome users to play high ranking characters. however, being that these characters are very important to the structure and functionality of the roleplay --- there are some minor rules in place for those who wish to play them.
01. BE ACTIVE an obvious rule, if you intend to be away please inform someone --- or your position might be taken away.
02. FIRST CHARACTER POLICY we would prefer that a high rank not be your first character, as we would like to see how you roleplay before making one. however, you are still welcome to apply. if you pass the small exam, we may allow it anyways.
03. APPLY FOR THE POSITION FIRST if you want to make a deputy, you must fill out our application to test your ability first! obviously we would hope you have a character in mind when doing so, and if you do you are welcome to attach their sign up to your application. however, we ask that you do not make an account for the character/post their sign up until you are approved.
04. READ THE APPLICATION CAREFULLY obviously, we want you to have a good chance of getting that position you were gunning for. but failing to apply properly might hinder your chances.
05. SEND THE APPLICATION TO AN ADMIN OR MOD fairly self explanatory but when you are completed and think it's up to snuff --- send it to myself (Admin Silverstream ) or the actual site admin (Admin Greystripe ). we'll discuss it together beforehand anyways, so it doesn't matter which one you decide to send it to.
think you have all that? copy the application in the post below and follow the instructions above.

★ leader expectations
as a clan leader, you have many duties that you must perform. including naming ceremonies, presenting apprentices with mentors, and electing your own deputy. leaders are expected to roleplay with their clan, especially with their deputy and medicine cat --- as these are important figures in your life.
leaders are permitted to take a mate, which will live with them in the leader's den. leaders may also have children, and they are also allowed to take an apprentice if they so desire.
01. THE CEREMONIES leaders are expected to make large decisions for the clan as well as preform various ceremonies to further the roleplay. these include:
- NAMING CEREMONIES: when an apprentice has finished with their training, you must gather the clan and perform a ceremony of them receiving their name. obviously, you do not get to pick the name --- roleplayers decide them upon signing up. however, you are still expected to perform these nonetheless. don't worry too much about these, as we will provide you with a template in order to prevent confusion.
as a leader, you are allowed to chose not to allow the apprentice to become a warrior after the allotted time has passed. if you feel like they have not yet completed their training, or that the roleplayer hasn't quite been active enough you are able to restrict them. we will be sending a pm to inform you of any upcoming ceremony and you may politely explain that you feel like that apprentice shouldn't yet be advanced.
- MENTOR/APPRENTICE PAIRING: unlike the naming ceremonies, the leader has full control over this ceremony. you may hand select a warrior to tutor the apprentice for the next six moons. this doesn't need to be a large ceremony, but rather you may just pm the two players of the characters and explain that "x cat will be your mentor" and "x cat is now your apprentice". but if you find it more fun to have a ceremony, go right ahead.
- CLAN MEETINGS: if anything happens in your clan, such as a prey shortage, a death, or anything else --- you are permitted to hold a meeting where your den is located. (each camp has a specific area). these are NOT a mandatory thing, but you may wish to hold one at any point.
- THE GATHERINGS: every three moons (once a season) a gathering will be held in the central clearing. at the gathering, leaders are expected to talk about any recent happenings in the clan. these include promotions, new kits, deaths, etc. leaders are expected to go to the gatherings, but other players may sign up their cats to come along.
02. PUNISHMENTS leaders are responsible for dishing out punishment. these can include being on modified duties for misbehavior, forced cleaning of the dens, demotions (a deputy back to warrior, or a medicine cat being forcibly removed), and banishment from the clan. obviously we don't want to make a mountain out of a molehill and as such punishments should be in accordance to what the character has done. (modified duties for ruining a hunt, banishment for the murder of another clan member, etc.)
03. DEPUTY a leader may select their deputy, however we ask that you and the player you are appointing are aware of the high ranking rules and have that player apply accordingly. (this is where one of the usual rules of high rank sign ups is moot, if they wish to be a deputy after being appointed they may apply with a character that has already been made.)
04. ATTACKS a leader may decide that they wish to attack another clan. if so, a plot will begin of the battle between the two. during these battles clans may also take prisoners --- the leader has all rights to decide what happens to these prisoners.
05. FEMALE LEADERS as previously mentioned, leaders may take a mate and have children of their own. if a female leader happens to have kits, her deputy must step up until her kits are ready to leave the nursery. this allows the clan to see their deputy in action.

★ deputy expectations
as a deputy, you are expected to interact with the clan on a more interpersonal level than the leader. deputies are treated with as much respect as the leader, but are also still a regular warrior in their own right.
deputies may have a mate, kits, and take an apprentice if their leader decides that they are to be given one.
01. PATROLS to keep things interesting and give deputies more of a purpose, once per moon the deputy will be given a pm of some sort of oddity on their territory that they need to investigate. in this event, a deputy must create a patrol. this patrol normally consists of the deputy and two others cats, one of which must be a warrior. however a patrol could also be the deputy, two warriors, and their apprentices. occasionally if the situation calls for it, the deputy and their warriors may need to escort their medicine cat to the event.
02. LEADER INACTIVITY if the leader of a clan is unable to preform their duties do to absence, general inactivity, or because of a plot reason. a deputy is expected to basically become the new leader. they may not be fully certified at this point unless there is certainty that the leader will not be returning.
03. FEMALE DEPUTIES similar to the leader, if a female deputy falls pregnant and is unable to attend to her duties she will not be stripped of her position. rather a senior warrior may step up as a temporary deputy. these will usually be selected by the leader.

★ medicine cat expectations
as a medicine cat, you do a lot of the behind the scenes action for the clans. these include visiting the moonstone to be near to starclan, healing the clan, helping your leader, and training your apprentice.
medicine cat apprentices ARE considered one of the high ranks and must be applied for. medicine cats are not allowed to have a mate, nor are they allowed to have kits. if such a thing were to happen they would be stripped of their duties.
01. MOONSTONE once a month (moon), all medicine cats and their apprentices make their way to the moonstone, located in thunderclan territory, in order to communicate with starclan in peace. this is mandatory for all medicine cats and their apprentices, as it is very similar to clan gatherings. during your time at the moonstone you may recieve some kind of vision, this may be a truly important vision or a very benign unimportant vision.
02. APPRENTICE the medicine cat themselves is fully responsible for their own apprentice. the leader does not decide when the apprentice is ready, and usually does not intervene in their training at all. a medicine cat is responsible for giving their apprentice a name, however this is usually decided by starclan at one of the monthly moonstone visits. (again, the apprentice ultimately decides their full name upon signing up. unless they have no preference. keep in mind that an apprentice does not replace their mentor when they are fully certified and a clan may have two medicine cats until one ultimately passes on.)
03. QUITE AN EARFUL many cats respect and look up to the medicine cat, they may also come with problems. as a medicine cat it is your duty to respond to any and all of these requests, as well as keep yourself on good terms with the clan. you may be needed at any point during the roleplay and your role may be one of the most important. please keep this in mind before applying.
04. YOUR CLAN IS YOUR LIFE as medicine cats are expected to remain pure and devote themselves entirely to their clan, taking a mate and having kits is strictly forbidden. if a medicine cat does take a mate or have kits, they will be forced to step down from their position. if their apprentice is not yet done their training, a medicine cat from another clan will see that they are trained properly. 05. INTER-CLAN MINGLING although most clans keep their distance, and two clans getting too friendly is frowned upon --- medicine cats are an exception to this rule. medicine cats are respected by all warriors and leaders of other clans, and medicine cats from other clans are quite friendly towards one another. some may even consider each other friends, considering they meet once a moon.
06. DREAMS occasionally an admin may pm a medicine cat a dream or vision that they can interpret in any way they wish. this is done to keep things interesting and ensure that random events keep the flow of the game.

★ open positions
OPEN LEADER POSITIONS currently all leader positions are taken by NPCs as we are a new site and had plot ideas for them. leader positions will eventually become open for users.
OPEN DEPUTY POSITIONS - ShadowClan is looking for a deputy. preferably someone strong that would constrast Fuzzystar's calm and not exactly leader worthy position. it is possible that a strong warrior could commit a coup and overthrow Fuzzystar if they so desired
- ThunderClan is looking for a deputy. it would have to be someone that Acornstar trusted, however much of thunderclan currently dislikes his rule so it's hard to say what kind of deputy he would actually get. Acornstar is beginning to sense the dispute in his clan and may want someone strong and trusted to protect him.
OPEN MEDICINE CAT POSITIONS - ShadowClan is looking for a medicine cat. it's difficult to say what sort of cat would be well suited for the position, considering ShadowClan rarely throws themselves in the way of danger any more. it's probable that a medicine cat under the rule of Fuzzystar may feel useless.
- ThunderClan is looking for a medicine cat. Acornstar is known for being full of himself, and it's possible that he would look down upon anyone that was actually foolish enough to become a medicine cat. a medicine cat under the rule of Acornstar may begin to hate the leader. or simply swallow their tongue and take his verbal lashings and taunts.
- WindClan is looking for a medicine cat. Spottedstar and her medicine cat would get along very well, probably having an incredibly close replationship due to her boughts of sickness throughout the years. the WindClan medicine cat would be a strong-willed cat, one who is trying their best to keep their precious leader alive.
OPEN MEDICINE CAT APPRENTICES - RiverClan is looking for a Medicine cat apprentice. Poppysnow is fairly easygoing, a little too trusting of others... but a good medicine cat nonetheless. although she is young, she is well liked by her clan... even with the talk of destroying Flowerstar's rule. her apprentice could be anyone... even someone who heavily disagrees with her siding of Flowerstar.
