Bloodmoon (RG)

## Description

Bloodmoon is the name adopted by the small rogue group created and led by former SnowClan warrior Sleekspring. Though they are small in numbers, the group is surprisingly forward and completely hostile, having made attacks on several clans before and wounding more than fifty cats (some of which wounds resulted in death).

## Territory

Bloodmoon do not own any individual territory, but tend to like staying in the mountains between BreezeClan and the north-western territories.

## History

### Creation

Bloodmoon was first created by Sleekspring and consisted only of him and his mate of the time. Originally they had no intention of being hostile to the clans, and were only frustrated with their respective clans for having rules that kept them apart.

### First "attack" on SnowClan

Sleekspring and Silvertongue had grown bored being alone with each other and had, young and naively enchanted by the idea of it, decided it would be fun to launch an "attack" on one of their birth clans. This attack consisted of charging into camp and threatening them before revealing it to be a joke. This charade was met with mixed feelings from SnowClan, but during the minutes following, Sleekspring was able to recruit a couple of his friends to leave the clan with them.

### First attack on ThrushClan

Having enjoyed the first "attack" as much as they had, Sleekspring and Silvertongue were able to convince the handful of other cats to join them as they pulled the same prank on nearby clan ThrushClan. They all agreed and planned to do the same as last time, but ThrushClan did not know them personally and believed the attack to be genuine. ThrushClan were quick to retaliate to the threat and immediately launched an attack of their own against them. Most of the group were able to flee, but Silvertongue had been lost in the attack at the paws of DriftClan warrior Mudshower. This spawned Sleekspring's true hatred for clans and it was following this that the group went rogue. Following the attack, Robintail joined their ranks.

### First attack on DriftClan

The first attack since Silvertongue's death, the group was entirely hostile. They injured multiple, but no cats, clan or rogue, died in the battle. It was during this battle that Sleekspring met Shortstripe, and liking him immediately, he returned often after the attack to socialize with him until he was able to persuade him the join the rogues.

### First attack on BreezeClan

The first attack since Shortstripe joined the group, they were careful and smart when attacking the large clan and were able to do a significant amount of damage to their ranks. Again, no deaths occurred. The ex-DriftClan deputy had sat this one out, unsure if it was something he wanted to do.

### Second attack on ThrushClan

The first attack that Shortstripe participated in, this was the group's first attack resulting in death for the other side. During the battle, Shortstripe had killed DriftClan warrior Mudshower, instantly earning Sleekspring's admiration. The leader in turn killed Quietshadow in defense of Shortstripe when the she-cat had tried to avenge her mate. ThrushClan she-cat Skyspots was also lost in the attack to Rosebush.

### Second attack on DriftClan

The last attack having been a success, and Sleekspring and Shortstripe's relationship having strengthened, the leader figured it would be most appropriate to attack DriftClan next. They had planned for weeks, but it was all for naught. The battle ended with many deaths within DriftClan itself (Coneflight, Dangerpelt, Frostpetal, Hollyhaze, and Softwhisker), but more important to the group was the loss of its own members. In the horrific battle, Echojaw, Rippleleap, Shortstripe, and Tornface were lost. The survivors fled to safety, but it was their most taxing battle to date.

### Second attack on BreezeClan

Following the death at DriftClan, Sleekspring was devastated and the group remained immobile for several months. They had only launched the attack on BreezeClan once the group had recovered mentally. There were no fatalities from either side.

## Ranks

The ranking system within the rogue group is almost identical to that of a clan, its founder having been raised in one and drawing inspiration from them despite rejecting all other aspects of them. Naturally, the leader doesn't receive additional lives. Kits and apprentices born will not have to earn their names, but will still only begin training once they're old enough for it to be safe. If there are elders, they are responsible for caring for kits, as their mothers and fathers are busy with other things. Medicine cats do not exist. If a cat is wounded, they must tend to their own wounds unless they are unable. Ranks are the same as clans in almost every other way.
