## Overview

*"Deep in the forests live a clan of wild cats touched by something more than feral instincts and guided by dreams rich with their own meaning. Join Seri the Pixel Biologist as we explore the stories of our own clan of Warrior Cats in the beautiful forests of Meadow Glen!*

*We begin with one lonely lost cat named Mossleaf, and will be following her as she learns to survive in the fierce wilds of the deep forests, quietly watched over the entire time by a curious, cat-loving plant sim named Willow!*

*Where will Mossleaf's adventures take her? Deeper into the forest where mystery and dangers lurk? Down the mountain and into the village where cars and dogs could threaten her well-being? Or perhaps to cross paths with other rogue cats and perhaps find the beginnings of a clan of her own..."*

― A Forest-Touched Wild Cat (Season 1, Episode 1)

The Warrior Cats Challenge follows several clans of cats as they progress through time. Each cat and clan have their own stories, strengths, and flaws. The clans are switched between episodes, so that each clan's story may be told. The clans follow a set of rules, known as the Code of the Clans, which tells them what they can and cannot do.

The cats live in the wild, and must hunt their own food and gather herbs in order to heal themselves. The only interaction with Twolegs (humans) they're allowed to have is with each clan's respective "spirits," who are the embodiment of the land itself.

## Clans

### MossClan

In the forests above the valley are the wild cats of MossClan, who live deep within the forests. MossClan was the first Clan of cats to create a home in the valley and found their home among the dappled shadows of the forest. MossClan cats are usually extremely friendly but their kindness can often cause them to overexert themselves - the forest can only provide so much, after all, even if MossClan does possess a deeper knowledge of herbs and the way they grow than the other clans.

**Rules**
The Warrior Cats challenge is a simple, yet suprisingly complex challenge with a very in-depth set of rules.

### **Basic Rules**

1. Start with one Twoleg and anywhere from 1-3 cats. For a warrior cats name generator, check Resources below.
2. Your cats must hunt for all of their food and supplies. They cannot accept any treats from the twoleg. The only exception is for things the cats cannot collect, which can be gathered by the Twoleg via the Spirit Cat, who has a special connection to the Twoleg. ONLY the spirit cat can ask for help with gathering things, and can then trade for those things. For more info on spirit cats, see Roles below.
3. Your cats cannot drink any water, as this fills their hunger.
4. The cats have a hierarchy, consisting of a leader, a deputy, a medicine cat, and a spirit cat, along with the classes of warrior, elder, apprentice, kit, and queen. For more info, see Roles below.
5. Queens may not hunt while pregnant; other members of the clan will do so for them.
6. Any new leader or medicine cat must visit a place where they can communicate with Starclan before they are officially sworn in to their positions. These places can be caverns, natural pools, waterfalls, or any other naturally occurring feature that looks magical and otherworldly. Cats visiting this place should spend the night there, which allows Starclan to walk through their dreams.
7. Try to make their homes look as natural as possible. Make dens with rocks and bushes, set up a gathering place for clan meetings, and scatter lots of wildlife around.
8. After two seasons, kits become apprentices. They need a clan meeting to receive their apprentices titles.
9. After two seasons, or a special action for the clan, apprentices become warriors. They need a clan meeting to receive their warrior names, as decided by the clan leader.
10. Once cats reach elder status in-game, they may retire to the elders den. They need a clan meeting to officially retire, and then may live the rest of their life in peace. They no longer need to hunt or fight for themselves, but they may be called upon if there is a large battle at or invasion of the camp.
11. Gatherings may happen once a moon (month) for all the cats to meet together and discuss any news within the clans. This is a time of peace; any attacking is strictly forbidden and may be punished by Starclan.
12. Have a lot of fun with your stories! The best part of the series is Seri's stories and lore and drama within the clans. It is suggested that you make up your own drama, as it spices up the game and makes it much more fun.

### **Roles**

The clan is split up into classes and special roles. Classes consist of warriors, apprentices, elders, and kits, and make up the majority of the clan. Special roles consist of a Leader, a deputy, a medicine cat, and a spirit cat.

**Warriors**

Warriors make up the majority of a clan. A warrior's duties include hunting for prey, gathering resources, patrolling their clan's borders, and fighting enemies such as dogs, wolves, foxes, rogue cats, and even other clans when necessary. Warriors are able to take mates and have kits; once a female cat is confirmed pregnant, they retire to the queen's den and stay there until their kits become apprentices. Afterwards, they may choose to rejoin the warriors or stay as a queen and care for kits to come.

**Apprentices**

After kits, and before warriors, apprentices are essentially warriors-in-training. They learn skills from their mentors, such as hunting, fighting, and generally how to be a warrior. Once they reach two seasons of age or do something special for the clan (such as fighting off invaders), they receive their warrior name from the clan leader.

**Kits**

The youngest members of the clan, kits are simply too young for warrior training. They don't have to hunt for themselves, and spend much of their time playing with each other. They are looked after by the queens as well as the entire clan. Once they reach two seasons of age, they are able to become apprentices.

**Elders**

Elders have fought for many moons, and are now finally able to rest and relax. Once cats reach elder status in-game, they are able to retire to the elder den through a ceremonial clan meeting. Elders need not hunt for themselves, but may be called upon for battle if the camp is invaded.

**Deputy**

The leader's right-hand cat. Deputies are in charge of the more menial tasks, such as assigning patrols, making hunting parties, and solving small, everyday problems of the clan. Deputies carry much responsibility, too; once the leader passes away, they must take over as clan leader.

**Medicine Cat**

A very special role, medicine cats are responsible for healing the clan. They may hunt for rodents, bugs, or leaves that can help them cure their clanmates' various maladies. Spirit cats may also bring them special supplies gathered by the spirit they are bonded to. Medicine cats are not allowed to take a mate. Medicine cats cannot battle, electing a life of peace and healing rather than savagery.

**Spirit Cat**

Spirit cats are the only cats allowed to really interact with Twolegs, and even then there are certain rules regarding these interactions. The spirit cat must have a close bond (Best Friends) with their respective spirits/Twolegs, and they are able to lead twolegs to gatherables that the cats cannot get for themselves, and trade with the Twolegs for whatever the clan needs. For example, Mossleaf may offer a flower to Willow in exchange for a harvestable plant spell.

**Leader**

Arguably the most important role in the clan, clan leaders are responsible for the wellbeing of every cat. They are granted the suffix -star, as well as 9 lives with which to lead the clan, by StarClan. They assign mentors to apprentices, decide deputies, grant warrior names, conduct ceremonies, make executive decisions, and represent the clan as a whole. At gatherings, leaders are the ones who speak on behalf of their clan. A leader's word is law; they must make the tough decisions for their clan using only their good judgement, and the clan must obey those decisions.
