Site Rules | Eternity's End

Welcome, visitor. Welcome to a forest where four Clans reside in constant competition, where loners and rogues struggle on the sidelines, where the strong are outmaneuvered by the weak and the brave make their own way through will alone. Welcome to a forest where StarClan does not speak, and no cat knows the reason for their silence. In a forest where nothing is certain, the only constant is the will of individuals to survive because every breath could be their last.

When the ancestors they vaunted went silent, there was confusion at first. Then there was panic and fear, unrest and blame. Moons passed without a word from the Clans' starry ancestors, and tensions rose until at last a bloodbath at Fourtrees put an end to the Gathering tradition. Thus began a period of silence between all the Clans of the forest—one which continues to stretch on with no end in sight.

Now StarClan has been silent for a full year, and chaos still reigns. ThunderClan and RiverClan are on the verge of war, and conflict within ShadowClan has split the Clan into two factions—the believers and the rebels. No cat hears from WindClan any more, as they keep to themselves and their so-called prophet, worshipping her in lieu of the ancestors who no-longer offer their guidance. As falling leaves herald the leaf-bare that is on its way, no cat knows what the coming moons will hold for the forest's four Clans.

OUT OF CHARACTER

1. One account per member. We like to know who everyone is.

2. Be respectful and polite to the other members and staff. Your characters may be jerk-faces, but you shouldn't be.

3. Activity on our site is regularly monitored by the staff. Members who fail to log on for a period of 60 days without explanation will have their accounts deleted.

4. Use common sense when posting content on the site. Don't post big, obnoxious images or offensive material.

IN CHARACTER

1. Use only characters that have been accepted by the staff when roleplaying.

2. Do not control the actions of other members' characters without their permission.

3. Be considerate when joining or posting in another member's thread. Threads with more than two people should have a set posting order to avoid leaving anyone behind.

4. There is no set word minimum or maximum for roleplaying posts, but proper spelling, grammar, and diction is mandatory.

5. This site runs on liquid time, which is roleplayer-speak meaning that you may post a character in more than one thread at a time.

6. Do not post graphic or offensive content in the roleplaying boards. Keep that kinky stuff to yourself.

7. Don't be a jerk to other people's characters. Unless they want you to.

CHARACTERS

1. Before making a character, inspect the Clan Allegiances for information on what is and isn't being currently accepted.

2. Use the provided forms when submitting your character's info sheet.

3. Members begin with a character limit of eight characters each, plus any kits born in-game that they have adopted.

4. Members can earn a new character slot by completing 5 in-character threads. After the first two slots gained in this manner, the thread requirement goes up to 10.

5. If your cat's appearance, history, or demeanour are judged to be illogical or extremely unlikely, you may be asked to adjust your character accordingly.

6. Any cat with a serious disability such as complete blindness, deafness, or the loss of the use of one of their limbs cannot serve as a warrior.

7. High-ranked or plot relevant cats belonging to inactive members will be removed from their positions.

8. Clan names must be logical and relevant to the setting. No two cats in the same Clan may have the same prefix.

9. Appearances must be logical and realistic. Tortoiseshell toms are disallowed. Non-pointed cats with blue eyes must have white on or near their eyes in significant amounts.

TIME PROGRESSION

1. Season change takes place every three months of real-life time progression.

2. Kits are born nine weeks after conception. Kits are weaned by the time they are seven weeks old, and are playable as characters at three moons.

3. At six moons, a healthy, mature kit is made into an apprentice. Apprenticeship may be delayed because of illness or slow growth.

4. After several moons of training, an apprentice is usually made into a warrior around the time they turn 12 moons old. They continue to grow slowly until they reach their full size at around 18 moons.

5. Usually warriors will not be called upon to mentor an apprentice until they have been a warrior for a full year. Warriors of at least three years of age are considered senior warriors.

6. A warrior usually becomes an elder at around seven or eight years of age, if they haven't been critically injured before then. The average lifespan for a Clan cat is anywhere from two to eight years.
