You are a young caracal and wandering through the scrub land when you feel that you are being watched. It was getting light out and you were looking for a place to shelter. You stop and look around for the animal watching you, only to be bowled over by another caracal. You hiss in response and push your attacker away, hackles raised and ready to strike back as the cat speaks up. "You are on CaracalClan territory. If you wish to join, follow me. Otherwise, I'll give you some scars to remember me by before chasing you off." The tom spits. You agree to join, not wanting to have your ears shredded.
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~
Welcome to CaracalClan, the clan of fleet-footed warriors and high jumpers. You will be safe here.
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~
Rules
-Be active: We run on a three strike warning system. I understand that you have a life outside the forums, I do too. But please warn me before you just disappear for extended periods of time.
-Forum rules are my rules
-Please, for the love of cheese, be descriptive with forms and replies! No one-liners, please. If you have issues being descriptive, look up synonyms for the word that you want to use. Flesh out your character and actions, but don't overdo it.
-Literacy: I get it, we all make mistakes every now and then with spelling, grammar, and punctuation. But if you continuously make mistakes and it's in character, people won't really want to roleplay with you. Really, the only thing that will happen is an overwhelming urge to correct you.
-No perfect characters or characters with odd colors. Different markings to set apart characters is fine, white, dark brown, and black cats are allowed but are not common. Your cat can't take on an elephant or a giraffe by itself and not everyone will like your character.
-Mates: Cats can secretly have a mate from another clan but think logically about size differences, no lion/caracal, leopard/serval, lion/serval, or leopard/caracal hybrids.
-Most important rule here, you ready? HAVE FUN!

Traditions
All queens that are close to giving birth, must leave their clan and have their kits before returning one moon later with their kits. They may remain on their territory or go to another clans territory, but they are not to be disturbed or attacked, even if they come from a rival clan.
All conflicts are to be put on hold during migration season.
Warrior code
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.
Do not hunt or trespass on another Clan's territory.
Elders, queens, and kits must be fed before apprentices and warriors. Unless they have permission, apprentices may not eat until they have hunted to feed the elders. If any warrior or apprentice is sick or injured, they may eat while the elders, queens, and kits are eating.
Prey is killed only to be eaten. Give thanks to StarClan for its life.
A kit must be at least six moons old to become an apprentice.
Newly appointed warriors will keep a silent vigil for one night after receiving their warrior name.
A cat cannot be made deputy without having mentored at least one apprentice.
The deputy will become Clan leader when the leader dies, retires or is exiled.
After the death or retirement of the deputy, the new deputy must be chosen before moonhigh.
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.
Boundaries must be checked and marked daily. Challenge all trespassing cats, especially if they are not of the same species of cat.
No warrior can neglect a kit in pain or danger, even if the kit is from a different Clan. The kit must be returned to its clan either after being treated or for treatment.
The word of the Clan Leader is the warrior code.
An honorable warrior does not need to kill other cats to win their battles, unless they are outside the warrior code or if it is necessary for self-defense.
A warrior rejects all contact with two-legs.
Each Clan has the right to be proud and independent, but in times of trouble they must forget their boundaries and fight side by side to protect the four. Each Clan must help the others so that no Clan will fall.
No clan may deny another clan access to water in times of drought.
A nesting queen is to be left alone, even outside of her own territory.

Pricklebreeze: Pricklebreeze is a rather spiky-furred caracal with a white blaze from his nose to his eyes. Like his name suggests, he is rather prickly, at first anyways. Like most cats, he has his moments where he's just grumpy, but he tends to be grumpy more often than other cats. On the times that a cat catches him in a good mood, he's gentle and playful. He may be a bossy furball, but he does have a weakness for cubs, often helping them adjust to camp life upon returning to camp after their first moon. He has a shorter tail than most caracals and he seems to be a bit touchy about that fact, getting defensive and grumpy when it's mentioned. RPed by: Rising Tragedy
Medicine cat-
Warriors-
Auroradawn: Auroradawn is a reddish tan caracal with green eyes and a black muzzle. She is the sister to Pricklebreeze, however she is much gentler than her brother and less likely to fuss at apprentices or kits that get too curious and stick their muzzles where they don't belong. She is rather easy-going and relaxed, especially around new arrivals. She tends to act as a mother towards any younger cats that don't have parents or were found abandoned, making her a favorite among the younger cats. Few have seen her angry but she does have scars from battle and a permanent limp. RPed by: Rising Tragedy

Echofrost: Echofrost is a bitter warrior. She tends to keep to herself most times, but she does love to hang out with friends. Her temper is what makes her weak, and she loses it easily. She appreciates apprentices, but she dislikes kits unless they're her own. She has a tawny colored pelt. She likes to hunt with her head high, which reveals her black ears. RPed by: Peanutella
