A Better Way Reborn Wiki

**Welcome to the A Better Way Wiki!**

Ever wondered what life would be like if the Clans were run with less hostility? That's just what we exist to do!

Welcome to A Better Way. We're a Warriors roleplay on Scratch, run by WarriorofStormClan, commonly known as Warrior. We've been in operation since January 5, 2020.

Whether you're here for history, territory and camp descriptions, or just wondering who any given character is, you're in the right place.

## Clans / Other Important Places

FallClan

MarshClan

OasisClan

OrchidClan

HorizonClan

Silver Falls (gathering area)

Moon Falls (medicine cat meeting place thing)

(Note: The nearest twolegplace is a moon and a half’s travel away from the Clan territories. It is closest to FallClan land, although turns can be taken to end up in other Clans first if coming from there. If your cat hails from twolegplace, it either has to have went on some fancy epic journey or their parents would've had to have done some funky things.)

(Note 2, electric boogaloo: All five Clans have an “outer border”, which is pretty much open, and is not linked with another Clan. This is where rogues and loners are most commonly encountered. MarshClan's is mostly open moor, OrchidClan's is flat field {the *most* prone to unwanted visitors}, HorizonClan's is mainly mountainous and somewhat wild {where cats like Pencil have settled}, OasisClan's is foresty but flattens out, and FallClan's is sort of wet and mushy, but solid ground once the water ends. There should hopefully be a map of the territories coming out soon. Once there is, we'll add it here.)

## Main Differences

#### Ranks

ABW has two new ranks that are in each Clan - *messenger* and *mediator.*

Each Clan typically has one or two messengers. Warriors usually volunteer to become messengers, although apprentices will occasionally fill the role if necessary. Their job is to run messages from their Clanmates to their friends and family in other Clans. They need to have a lot of energy, a good memory, and a good amount of patience in order to excel at their tasks. They’re usually very busy, and it is not uncommon for them end up overworking themselves, as evidenced by Mistrunner.

The role of a mediator was introduced recently in Warriors canon, but ABW tweaks their jobs a little bit. Their objective is generally to prevent tensions from escalating between their Clanmates and between Clan and Clan. Each Clan normally has only one, and, like with messengers, warriors can volunteer to become one whenever the role is opened up. It requires empathy and tolerance, as well as a certain amount of bravery and firmness in order to step between conflicting sides of an argument and successfully calm it down.

#### Relationships

ABW goes much easier on relationships. Due to the fact that the original Clan founders were all siblings, the Clans have always been at peace and likely always will be (though there have been a few exceptions to this, such as the Silver Falls battles and the first rogue uprising). All and any violence is usually directed at aggressive rogues, although even that is rare and seen as unethical. All outsiders - rogues, loners, kittypets, you name it - are warmly welcomed to join any Clans they please, and there is no prejudice against them. That being said, violent rogues who refuse to join but refuse to leave the territory *are* a bit of an issue, particularly in HorizonClan and OrchidClan.

Oh, and all cats are allowed to have mates as long as they’re older than twelve moons. This includes medicine cats, leaders, messengers, and mediators. Inter-Clan relationships are also allowed, as are relationships with cats outside of the Clans, although those are generally more frowned upon. Cats are allowed to change Clans and visit friends or family members in other Clans whenever they’d like. Everyone is super chill, and it’s great.

#### Names

ABW doesn’t have much limitation when it comes to names. Cats who join Clans after being loners, kittypets, or rogues are allowed to keep their old names if they so desire, while others were more than happy to take on Clan names. “Non-traditional” names are allowed, too - heck, we had a cat named Ponchopool once. As long as its nothing too wonky, it’s cool in our book. Things such as fertile male calicos and purple-eyed cats are also allowed. Fight us. Go on, fight us.

Our only rules when it comes to names are that we don’t want too many characters with the same prefix or the same suffix. Three of the same prefix is our maximum, and five of the same suffix. Also, we'd rather not have many cats sharing a prefix with important, infamous characters. But aside from that, y’all are perfectly free to go ham.

I want Warrior Cats to change permanently (here's what this roleplay is based on- you should probably watch it before joining.)

A Better Way (A link to the signups of the actual roleplay. You're welcome.)

Ships (a list of every ship to ever come up and be relevant, good luck deciphering it.)

Memes (exactly what it sounds like. I'm so sorry.)

The Travelers (just a separate group of cats that isn't really important to anyone but Cedarpoppy and her children.)

Colony (another fancy cat society. It's cool, so I'm putting it here.)
