Clan roles

#### Warriors:

**Warriors** are average Clan members that hunt and fight for a Clan. They are known as the *"lifeblood of a clan"* and will do whatever it takes in order to defend and protect others and follow the Warrior Code.

#### Apprentice:

**Apprentices** are cats who haven't fully learnt all the ways of a warrior, and are in training to become a warrior. All apprentices' names have the suffix of *-paw.* Apprentices are assigned a mentor and begin their apprenticeship at the age of 6 moons old. They will become a warrior at 12 moons old.

#### Kits:

**Kits** are the youngest of a Clan. Kits always have the name suffix of *-kit.* They are usually considered the weakest members of a Clan, besides elders. Once a kit reaches the age of 6 moons old, they will begin their apprenticeship, gain the suffix *-paw*, and discard the kit label.

#### Medicine cat:

**Medicine cats** speak to StarClan at the Moonstone and heal their Clan-mates using their knowledge about herbs. According to the Warrior Code, they are forbidden to take a mate or have kits. They follow the Medicine Cat Code, and are the only Clan members who do not only follow the Warrior Code but live their entire life devoted to it..

#### Medicine apprentice:

**Medicine apprentices** are younger cats being who are being trained to be a medicine cat. They are always trained by full medicine cats and typically possess a special ability to speak with StarClan. They become a medicine cat at 20, or later, only when they have full knowledge of everything. Sometimes a new medicine cat can be sent to a clan with out/with an old medicine cat to take its place.

#### Elder:

**Elders** are older cats who have survived past their prime and are now able to retire safely, or had a bad injury and had to give up warrior duties. They are regarded as the weakest members of a Clan, alongside kits, but will fight if they need to.

#### Queen:

A **Queen** is usually an expecting she-cat or a she-cat who is nursing kits. They retire from their warrior duties temporarily in order to occupy the nursery. Most queens will return to their warrior duties after their kits are apprenticed. But sometimes that will permit queens, and live their lives

#### Deputy:

**Deputies** are second in command and only below the Clan leader. They organize patrols and give orders. If the leader is occupied, they take charge of the Clan. A Clan can only have one deputy. A deputy will be promoted to leader if the leader dies, is exiled, or steps down. Can only become a deputy if they have had one apprentice.

#### Leader:

**Leaders** are in charge of their respective Clan. Their names always have the suffix *-star*, representing their connection and loyalty to StarClan. They are granted nine lives by StarClan. There is only one leader per Clan. Normally the deputy, but in rare cases(Deputy has died as well or backed down) another clan member can be picked to lead the clan.

## Independent roles(Outside of the clans):

#### Rogue:

**Rogues** are cats who do not follow the Warrior Code, associate with the Clans, or believe in StarClan. They defend their territory form other rogues and clan-cats.

#### Loner:

**Loners** are cats that live outside of the Clans, and do not follow the Warrior Code or believe in StarClan. Sometimes they will join a clan.

#### Kittypet:

**Kittypets** are domestic cats that live in a house with Twolegs and are often regarded by Clan cats as fat and lazy, despite this usually not being the case. They do not believe in StarClan. Very rarely do they become a clan-cat.

## Roles for dead cats:

#### Starclan Warrior:

They are just who died. They now live in the starry grounds of Starclan. Can visit loved ones in dreams, and talk to medicine cats.

#### Starclan Council member:

A cat, can be any role in life, that determines whether a cat goes to Starclan or the place of no-stars(Dark Forest).

#### Place of no-star member:

This is where evil cats, not all for some reason?, go when judged evil. They are cursed with hunger and pain for eternity.

#### The in-between cats:

A very rare things to happen. A cat will get lost, or stuck, and then reside in the in-between, in-between the living and dead. Hard to find a cat who has be lost here.
