The Warrior Code
The warrior code is the set of rules by which all cats in DignityClan must abide by. This version has been modified slightly to compensate for the single clan system on this RP, but most credit goes to Erin Hunter, author of the warrior cats books.
The penalty for breaking these rules is decided by the leader, who can be as leniant or as harsh as he likes.
- Defend your Clan from predators even with your life.
- Kits and elders should be fed first, and, unless they have special permission, apprentices cannot eat until the elders have all been fed.
- Prey is not killed for sport. You should not kill anything unless someone plans on eating it. You must also give StarClan thanks for its life.
- Kits must be six moons old in order to become an apprentice.
- New warriors must sit a silent vigil, and watch over the camp while the others sleep. They cannot say a word, and must sit outside no matter what the weather is like, reflecting on warrior responsibilities.
- A Clan cat cannot become the deputy of their Clan without having mentored at least one apprentice.
- Should the leader of a Clan die or retire, the deputy shall replace the leader. If a deputy dies or retires, the leader must then choose a successor before moonhigh.
- No warrior can ever ignore a kit in pain or danger, no matter the circumstances.
- The word of a Clan leader is law.
- An honorable cat does not kill another, unless the opposing cats are outside the Warrior Code, or if they have to kill in self-defense.
