NAMING !
Ready to name your warrior, but unsure of how to do so? Have no fear, we have picked out the top three naming sites to help you and your warrior name problems!
1) Ebony's Warrior Naming Guide.
2) Cat Warriors Naming Guide
3) Mossflower's Haven
WARRIOR CODE !
1) Defend your Clan, even with your life. You may have friendships with cats from other Clans, but your loyalty must remain to your Clan, as one day you may meet them in battle.
2) Do not hunt or trespass on another Clan's territory.
3) Elders and kits must be fed before apprentices and warriors. Unless they have permission, apprentices must not eat until they have hunted for the elders.
4) Prey is killed only to be eaten. Give thanks to StarClan for its life.
5) A kit must be at least six moons old to become an apprentice.
6) Newly appointed warriors will keep a silent vigil for one night after receiving their warrior name.
7) A cat cannot be made deputy without having mentored at least one apprentice.
8) The deputy will become Clan leader when the leader dies or retires.
9) After death or retirement of the deputy, the new deputy must be chosen before moonhigh.
10) A gathering of all four Clans is held at the full moon during a truce that lasts for the night. There shall be no fighting among Clans at this time.
11) Boundaries must be checked and marked daily. Challenge all trespassing cats.
12). No warrior may neglect a kit in pain or in danger, even if that kit is from a different Clan.
13) The word of the Clan leader is the warrior code.
14) An honorable warrior does not need to kill other cats to win his battles, unless they are outside the warrior code or it is necessary for self-defense.
15) A warrior rejects the soft life of a kittypet.

RANKING !
Every cat in every Clan has a rank of some sort, ranging from naughty kit to wise medicine cat to retired elder. The rank of each member of a Clan gives them more or less power compared to their other Clanmates, and all this depends on the amount of effort they put into their duties. If you wish your rank to go up in a Clan, what do you do? Work harder. Here are some of the Clan ranks and the power that comes with them:
Kittypet: A cat that lives with humans, usually do not go into the forest. Firestar was a kittypet named Rusty before he wandered out into the forest one day.
Loner: A cat that lives neither with a Clan or with humans, normally used for a friendly rogue.
Rouge: Another term for loner, which some cats find offensive; a cat, usually more hostile than a loner, who is part of no Clan, or a cat who was exiled from his original Clan; rogues will sometimes live with other rogues, but they generally travel alone or with their mate; they may attack their old Clan (if they had one) in revenge.
Prisoner: A cat that is captured by members of another Clan and held within that Clan until the leader decides what to do with them.
Kit: The kit has basically no power at all in the Clan, which makes sense, because kits are only from 0-6 moons old. Anyone can scold a kit, but it is considered impolite to do so unless you are a leader, the kit's mother, or the medicine cat. Kits stay in the nursery with the other queens and kits until they are 6 moons old.
Apprentice: Apprentices are the next rank up from kits, and range from 6 moons old to about 1 year old. Apprentices have a higher status than kits, but once again can be scolded by almost anyone. But now, as an older cat they are expected to be able to do tasks for the elders and other warriors who need things done.
Medicine Cat Apprentice: Medicine cat apprentices are regarded in basically the same manner as other apprentices, except, when the time calls, they can be talked to like they were a full medicine cat.
Warrior: Warriors are the general rank of the cats in a Clan. They are given tasks mainly by the leader or deputy, and sometimes the medicine cat. They hunt, fight, and patrol and are now full-grown cats.
Senior Warrior: Senior warriors are the next rank up from warrior. They are usually closer to the leader/deputy and are more frequently chosen to do more important tasks. Age matters in this situation and senior warriors are mainly warriors who have been alive for a long time, but are not yet old enough to become an elder.
Mentor: Mentors are normal warriors/senior warriors who have been chosen to train an apprentice. As well as training they do the normal warrior duties, and will return to being a warrior once their apprentice has been deemed worthy of the warrior status.
Queen: Queens are she-cats expecting or nursing kits. Full-time queens are almost always in the nursery and they take care of other she-cats kits, if the mother does not wish to stay in the nursery. Queens are rarely assigned warrior duties, unless they choose to be given them. Only in the most desperate times will queens have to defend the Clan, and usually warriors from other Clans do not attack them unless necessary.
Medicine Cat: Medicine cats take care of ill cats, and also do some warrior duties if necessary. There can only be one medicine cat, or two, if a medicine cat apprentice becomes medicine cat before the other medicine cat joins StarClan. Medicine cats frequently get omens from StarClan. Medicine cats are not allowed to have mates or kits.
Deputy: The deputy of a Clan is the second-in-command. If the leader dies, then the deputy takes his/her place. The deputy assigns other warriors their duties (patroling, hunting, etc.) and helps the leader with their decisions. Except for the leader and medicine cat, everyone has to listen to the deputy.
Leader: The leader is the cat who leads the Clan; anything the leader says, goes. Leaders are to recieve nine lives from StarClan as well as their leader name (the first part of their name with 'star' at the end) before they can make any true decisions. The leader of a Clan represents that Clan at gatherings, and may also recieve signs from StarClan.
