General Rules
:bulletblack: Be respectful to other members and admins. Everyone is equal and deserves to be treated with respect.
:bulletblack: If an admin tells you to do something, it is for a reason, so please do it.
:bulletblack: Cursing is allowed when not used to be mean to others, but if someone doesn't like it, then please stop.
:bulletblack: If anyone is being disrespectful to you, or is misbehaving in RPs, whether it be an admin or member, please report it to an admin or note the group, providing proof of what they did, and we will deal with it. We don't want to see anyone being disrespectful and we want everyone to be one their best behavior.
:bulletblack: If you are banned from the group, do not beg to come back in. You were banned for a reason.
:bulletblack: Be active. You are allowed to go on a hiatus, but that is only if you plan to return later and be active again. If you are too busy to keep up with stuff in the group, we recommend you leave the group. If you are thinking about joining, but feel this rp group is going to put too much weight on you, than its okay to chose to not join the group. We understand that your personal life comes first, and are okay with you leaving, or not choosing to join in the first place. For more information on hiatuses, read this: Hiatus Rules and Tracker
:bulletblack: If you do choose to leave the group, please tell us first before doing so and tell us what you would like to happen with your characters. You do not have to kill your cats off, you can simply make them leave the clan. If you leave without notifying the group, we will assume that you do not care what happens to your characters, and they will be killed off.
:bulletblack: If you leave the group and you do choose to kill your characters off, they will be moved to the dead cats folder and be marked as NPCs. These will not be used by anyone else, but they might appear as background characters if we have any events having to do with StarClan. If you are leaving the group, and you want your cats completely removed from the group,  you can make your cat leave the clan, or have them killed and have their app removed completely. If you want any cats you had that were originally dead removed from the group, tell us and we will remove them from the folder. 
:bulletblack: If you leave, you can always come back, but not with characters that were killed off previously.(Coming back with characters that left the clan is fine) Your cat cannot come back to life, or have it where the death never happened.
:bulletblack: We will have activity checks from time to time, and we expect you to do them. If you are not able to do your check, but still plan to be active after your hiatus, please tell us in advanced so we can extend your deadline to whenever you need it(you will be required to do it when you get back). We understand situations where someone not able to even tell about a hiatus because they don't have internet access at the moment, so if that happens and you come back  then tell us then so we can deal with that as well. (However if it has been too long and you haven't told the group about anything, we will have to kick you out) If you fail to complete 3 activity checks(does not matter if they are in a row or not) without notifying the group about anything, you will be removed from the group. You will have about one month for each check and you will be reminded of your check halfway between posting it and the due date.
:bulletblack: Any artwork besides your characters application picture, MUST be originally drawn by you. No bases or line art for this kind of art will be accepted. 
:bulletblack: Stealing or tracing others art will result in an automatic ban.
:bulletblack: Do not submit anything NSFW to the group. Anything submitted with moderate to extreme gore is allowed but it must have a mature content filter on it to be accepted. 
:bulletblack: Drawing art for the group is definitely encouraged~
:bulletblack: Do not spam or comment on the group page advertising your page or group. If you want your group to be recognized, feel free to send an affiliation request~
:bulletblack: Have fun!!

Admins
:bulletorange: If you want to be an admin in the group or are already and admin, please understand the commitment. We ask admins to be active, participate in the group discussion when needed, and be on good behavior. Sometimes certain admins will be asked to take charge if other admins are busy. If you feel like you do not have enough time to commit to admin, then trying out for one probably isn't a good idea. If you are admin, and we feel like you are not behaving correctly, or are not active enough, we will ask you to step down.
:bulletorange: To become an admin, you must have been a member of group for awhile. We want to see that you are well behaved and active before we give you the rank. For deputy, when the spot opens, the admin team will discuss who we feel is best for the role, and then ask the owner of the nominated cat if they wish for their cat to fill the spot. For medicine cat or medicine cat apprentice, we will open tryouts to people who wish to fill the role, and choose the best fitting person for the role. Do not beg for a high rank. If you do this we will assume that you are too immature to handle the rank and you won't be allowed a high rank. 
:bulletorange: If the owner of a leader of a certain clan is busy, the person who owns the deputy will temporarily take over. They will be in charge of doing things like enforcing the rules, making sure applications and journals for their clan are in order, reviewing apps for their clan, and keeping track of PP for cat's in their clan (Things that make the group continue to flow) While the owners of leaders are gone, owners of deputies are not allowed to make any major/sudden changes to their clan, make any new plots that affect the whole clan, or RP using the leader of their clan as their character. If you own a deputy that temporarily takes over and do any of these without the leader's permission beforehand, you will receive a strike, and you will lose your right to take over the next time your clan's leader goes on a hiatus. If that happens, the medicine cat will take over next time a leader gets busy. The medicine cat will also take over if the deputy and leader are both busy at the same time. 



Strike System
:bulletred: We have a strike system here for people who do not behave.
:bulletred: If we find that you are not behaving as told whether it be in roleplays or in person, you will receive a warning and you will notified of what you did, as well as receiving a strike. You will not have any other consequences other than this.
:bulletred: If we find you are not behaving for a second time, you will receive a 2nd strike. This strike will get you temporary banned for as long as we feel like we need to ban you for you to learn your lesson. All your characters will be turned into NPCs until you are let back in. However, when you return, you will lose certain privileges such as having mutations, and being able to have kits. If you get a 2nd strike as an admin, you will be forced to be moved down to normal members.
:bulletred: We would hope that by this point you would have learned you lesson , but if we find you on bad behavior after this, you will be banned from the group and all your characters will be killed off.
:bulletred: If we find you doing something that we feel is really bad, you will be automatically temporarily or permanently banned.
:bulletred: The strike system applies differently for checks. If you miss 2 activity checks, you will not be temporary banned but you will still lose your privileges along with getting a second strike(the admin rule does not apply) If you miss another check after that then you will be kicked out. However, if later, your activity increases, you can choose to come back, but you must prove to be active in order to do so. We understand if you are too busy to even notify the group about your inactivity and that it is not your fault that those things happen.  Because of that, your character won't be killed off, and instead they will all be captured by twolegs that live in the nearby twoleg place. If you want to return with the characters you originally had, you can (though it would be required to write a story on how they escaped from the twoleg place) 
:bulletred: If you have gotten a strike, then there is a chance we will remove a strike if you have not missed any activity checks, and have been on good behavior for 10 months. 
:bulletred: The strike system applies for both admins and members.


Discord Chatroom Rules
:bulletpurple: If you want to be included in the WRP Discord chat, please note Clloudi your discord and they will send you an invite~
:bulletpurple: Be respectful to one another in the chatroom. No hate will be tolerated.
:bulletpurple: Like the general rules stated, swearing is fine as long as its not used in a hateful way. If someone doesn't like it please stop.
:bulletpurple: Please keep all subjects in the chat PG-13. Do not post anything that might be anything NSFW, or that make others uncomfortable. Due to us having issues with this in the past, Cryptid--Bunny has made a completely separate server where anything sensitive or NSFW may be discussed. If you want to be included, you can note her. Please make sure to still be respectful to one another in those chats. 
:bulletpurple: If you are admin, it is strongly recommended that you have Discord, since it will be the discussion place for many things in the group. If you are unable to get a  discord for whatever reason, we will find a way to make sure you are still have a say about things going on
:bulletpurple: If you are confused about Discord or are having trouble setting it up, please note Clloudi, Cryptid--Bunny, or itsguts and we will make sure to help you~

Character Creation
:bulletgreen: Make your cat's design realistic with natural fur and eye color. No neon, sparkle cats ect.
:bulletgreen: You are allowed to use line art or bases if you credit the maker, but original art is encouraged.
:bulletgreen: If you are just joining the group and want to adopt a cat as your first character, please show actual interest in the group, and not adopt just because you like the design.
:bulletgreen: If you want your cat to have mutations, read this: fav.me/db8jkgt
:bulletgreen: Non binary/transgender/genderfluid characters are allowed in this group, but you must get approval by the admin team first, and have been a member for a while so we can see if you are mature enough to handle this. We want people to take being non binary/transgender/genderfluid seriously, so it will only be given to people we know can handle this.
:bulletgreen: Characters with mental illnesses are allowed, but it works like the non-binary/transgender rule. You must have been a member of the group for a while, and must get admin approval to have a character with a mental illness since this is also a thing that should be handled maturely, and should only be given to people who we know can handle it properly.
:bulletgreen: You are allowed to create NPCs for the group, and these will not count towards your character limit. However NPCs cannot have mutations, be non-binary/transgender/genderfluid or have any mental illness. 
:bulletgreen: Dead characters owned by you don't count towards your character limit.
:bulletgreen: You may not have the same name prefix as another cat in your clan. For a list of available names click this: (*) Master List of Names
:bulletgreen: No names that involve something a cat would not know about. Example: Assfur, Carpetpelt, Doughnuttail.
:bulletgreen: No names that are the same as cannon character
:bulletgreen: Make your character have FLAWS. We do not want a cat that is the best at everything, since it would give them an unfair advantage in roleplays. If your character doesn't have enough flaws it won't be accepted. Make your traits balanced.
:bulletgreen: No Mary Sues. Make your backstory realistic, original and do not make it to where the character is special in some way. Do not make them the chosen one, involved in a special prophecy, or make it where they are loved by everyone. We also do not want the type of cat that is like "he had a hard life and everyone he loved was killed so now he is insane and bloodthirsty for vengeance." You are allowed to do some form of that, but it must be realistic. If we find a problem in your history, it will not be approved until you fix it. If you any questions about the history of your character, ask.
:bulletgreen: No clan characters that were non-clan born unless you have the groups permission.
:bulletgreen: The first character you make when you join the group must be a clan cat. If you want to create a cat who is an outsider, please ask first, for we can only have so many of them. 
:bulletgreen: If there is anything else we find about your character that needs fixing please fix it.
:bulletgreen: :new:When submitting a character, the leader of the clan that the cat being submitted belongs to will be the one to review it and decide on whether or not it will be accepted.
:bulletgreen: There is no clan limit but you are allowed up to 8 cats. If you do have a lot of characters, please spread them evenly among the clans.

Roleplay Rules
:bulletblue: Do not Godmode. Godmoding is where your character is the best at everything, and has no flaws in RP. This is really unfair for the other roleplayer and it is not fun. For example if you are doing a fight scene, have your character take a few hits and miss hits when attacking the other characters, so it doesn't end up to the point where the other character is severely injured and your character does not have a single scratch.
:bulletblue: Your character cannot have knowledge of plots they were not told about or did not witness. You may know things, but don't apply that knowledge to your character without their being a reason for them knowing about it. What you know is different from what your character knows. Also do not put that they know about something because of something like "they overheard it", or "they followed a cat and witnessed something happening." If your character does know about something, there must be a rational explanation. eg: a cat involved in the plot told them through rp
:bulletblue: Do not kill or control other people's character's without their permission.
:bulletblue: If the other rper does not like what you are doing in rps, please listen to them and change what you are doing.
:bulletblue: A previous problem we have had in this group is Drama. When roleplaying and making plots do not cause too much drama. Sure a little drama is fun every now and then, but it can often get to high to the point where it is not fun for a lot of people. If we see too much drama happening, the admins will have to step in. If the admins do not know about it, and you notice a lot of drama, please tell us
:bulletblue: Any important plots that you may have for your character must get approved by a leader first.
:bulletblue: Your replys can be any length you want, but please find a compromise with the other rper, so its not too short or long for them.
:bulletblue: Yes, you are allowed to roleplay mature content (Sexual themes, hardcore violence etc.) but you MUST do it in Skype, Notes, Discord or any other form of private messaging where it is not visible  to the public. If you are caught doing any of these rps in public, it will result in a automatic
temporary ban.

Relationship Rules
:bulletpink: Ask an admin before you say your cat is having kits, or is officially mates with someone
:bulletpink: Your cat can't have kits without a mate, and the mate has to belong to another RPer
:bulletpink: If your character does decide to have kits, note the group. Then, someone will put the numbers 2 to 5 in a randomize. The number that comes up will be the number of kits in your litter.
:bulletpink: Please make your couple have development. We want to see you rp with the cat you desire to be your character's mate over a long period of time-2 months at least. If we feel your couple hasn't been developed yet, they won't be allowed t
:bulletpink: Gay couples are allowed, but obviously they cannot have biological kits. They can however, have adopted kits.
:bulletpink: If you cat is younger 25 moons, they may not have relationship with a cat with a 12+ moons age different.
:bulletpink: Kits are not allowed to have crushes, since they are too immature for anything romantic. Crushes are allowed as an apprentices, but they must be 9 moons to have a crush. They will allowed to be mates when they are at least 15 moons and warriors. (This means if they are 15 moons, but have still not gained enough PP to become warriors, they will not allowed to be mates until they gain the PP to rank up)  
:bulletpink: We are very strict on forbidden relationships. We do not want too many forbidden relationships because if we have too much they will loose their spark, so we are very limited when it comes to these. In order for a forbidden relationship to become official, it must pass the approval of the owner of both of the clans they belong too(in case for medicine cats it must pass the owner of the leader of the clan it belongs to and another leader of choice) What we are looking for in these relationships are really good development and that the relationship is not a forbidden relationship just for the sake of being forbidden. Both of the members must be really active and dedicated to the group.
:bulletpink: If your character is a medicine cat, we would prefer them not to have a love interest, since we have had a lot of med cats having mates in the past. If you feel your character can not truly live without a love interest, then don't make them a medicine cat.
:bulletpink: This group does not keep track of crushes, but if you want your character to have a crush that is forbidden, please ask the group and it will be discussed among the admin team. We will base this on how well the friendship was developed and how active you are.
:bulletpink: Do not try to work your way around the relationship rules by making your cats "date" or be in love with each while not being mates, especially when it comes to forbidden relationships. We have seen this happen in the past, and its an easy way to avoid the relationships rules. If there is a forbidden relationship that we do not think should become cannon, we ask that all romantic ties between the characters involved be cut off, since we don't want it to turn into "dating" of any sorts.
:bulletpink: Do NOT force your characters on others. Doing this makes others very uncomfortable, so if someone doesn't want their cat to become mates with your cat, don't force it.
:bulletpink: Do not make your character desperate to get a mate. There is nothing wrong with wanting to get a mate and settle down, but do not make it to the point where their want comes off as desperate and them having a mate is literally their only goal. 
:bulletpink: If your cat has kits, please make the kits look somewhat similar to their parents, and the person your cat is having the kits with must belong to another Rper
