Positions
This is basically for those who haven't read the series.
In the Clans:
Leader: The leader of the clan, as the title proclaims. They are able to recieve messages from CosmicClan and travel to Star Stone to acclaim this position, recieveing nine lives as well. If you are banished from your clan or no longer able to serve leaderposition, your nine lives stay with you, or however many you have left if they are not all gone.
Deputy: The next level from a leader, and are like the assistant. They recieve no special powers from CosmicClan, but set up patrols and hunting parties and things.
Medicine Cat: Skilled in the knowledge of herbs and healing, they also recieve special powers to get ommens from CosmicClan and strange prophecies. Their den also houses the injured. They too get an apprentice and must travel to Star Stone, though do NOT get nine lives.
Medicine Cat Apprentice: Usually a job left to those without ability to be a warrior, though doesn't have to be that way. They remain apprentices longer than most cats becuase they are such until their mentor (the previous med. cat) dies. They will then travel to Star Stone and take a warrior name. They are trained a little bit in battle, but mostly in herb uses and collecting.
Warriors: Warriors are the basic of the clan. They collect prey and go hunting and on patrol and fight to protect their clan. Most will recieve an apprentice to train. Warriors also can be promoted to higher levels, but can NOT become Medicine cats nor Apprentices, and obviously not kits. They can go to the gathering when the Leader requests them to and can be banished like all the other cats to become Rouges. They also can become Loners, but usually can't return back to being a warrior after that.
Apprentices: When a kit reaches 6 moons of age he/she will partake in a ceremony to start its apprenticeship. He/She will recieve a mentor which is usually a warrior, but can be the deputy or Leader. They are trianed for battle and hunting and stealth.
Queens: Expecting or Nursing she-cats. Names of these she-cats do not change at all.
Elders: Cats that are to old to battle retire to elders. They often tell interesting stories to the young apprentices and kits. Elders do fight in emergency cases but are very weak because of their age.
Kits: Young cats that have not yet become apprentices. of 0-6 moons. They stay in the nursery with their mother. Though when they get older they may be allowed outside of the Nursery. (If their mother lets them.)
Out of Clans
Loners: Cats that usually live alone and are not part of a clan. Sometimes they go in small groups (Barley and Ravenpaw) but rarely. They could have left their clan by choice or be a stray kittypet or be born a loner.
Rougues: Banned cats or cats born to two rouges or a loner and rouge, or a clanner and rouge. Rouges are usually vicious creatures, seperating them off from the loners. They often want to destroy the clans, or just like killing. Some rouges are more loner like, but were born or raised by rouges so they keep that title.
Kittypets: Kittypets are basically just house-cats living with two-legs. Clanners, and even out of clan cats, dispise kittypets as much as twolegs, but some kittypets wish to be out with the clans. Sometimes it can be hard to fit in...
