STARCLAN'S JUDGMENT : GUILTY
Rise of the Clans RP is OPEN for new members! <3
AFTERLIFE - RISE OF THE CLANS
The General Spirit World
All animals when they die become a spirit in the afterlife. Their species, beliefs, and choices in life, will determine their outcome and afterlife residence. Next to the living in the waking world, spirits and ghosts also traverse the land, in a different realm of existence. The Spirit world is all-encompassing, thought to exist in the same reality. Some afterlives are located within the stars, others are in dark regions that only malevolent, malignant beings seeking to harm will find themselves...
StarClan
The Clans of the Lake believe that when a warrior dies after living their life as authentically as possible following the Warrior Code, their spirit will live on forever with StarClan. Their territory can be found watching the Clans from above, in the starry night that covers the lake, known as Silverpelt. All good Clan cats will find themselves as part of StarClan, regardless of their prior Clan in life. Here, the season is always Greenleaf, and it is a mixture of the lushest, most vibrant nature. Streams and ponds are filled with crystal clear water, crisp and clean in taste, stock full of fish and other prey. The grass underpaw is soft, plush, and always seems to shine golden when the light hits it just right...
The Place of No Stars
Warriors who repeatedly, intentionally, break the warrior code and bring harm to others, will find themselves in The Place of No Stars, also colloquially known as the Dark Forest, after dying. It is a large, dim, wretched place of existence, with only a ghostly pale gray light in the far, far distance serving as the only source of light. The Dark Forest is said to be once ruled and led by its first ever resident, ■■■■■■■...
Stjar'Keld
Fjell'Byr felines find themselves in Stjar'Keld after death. They reside in the skies above the mountains, so that they may watch over their living counterparts. Stjar'Keld's territory is a bit more of a mystery to Fjell'Byr, as living spirits do not visit the territory like a Clan warrior might visit StarClan's territory in their dreams. As a result, their realm is thought to be a bit more ethereal in interpretation, with emphasis on the bright midday sky. Only the residents of Stjar'Keld truly know what their territory looks like...
THE EMPTY
The Empty is a vast expanse of open, blank rolling fields and open sky in between the realms of the afterlife. The time of day is always dusk, just after sunset, with the stars in the vast distance that define the other realms of the afterlife, such as StarClan, twinkling overhead. There is no prey, water, nor shelter, but none of that is needed: hunger, thirst, and fatigue are not experienced by the spirits that wander the Empty. Wandering aimlessly somehow always leads to nowhere, no matter how far a spirit walks...
Ghosts
Ghosts are active spirits that haunt the living both in the waking world, and in a cat's dreams. They are selected by ⬛⬛⬛⬛⬛ to become a ghost, and it is completely indiscernable as to why, or when. It does not seem to be based on morality or prior choices in life: only Ether himself knows why he chooses the spirits he does to return to the living once more as a ghost. By rejoining the land of the living, ghosts will lose memories of their previous life. The memories, and the amount, vary, but there is no ghost that can recollect their entire past...
ROCKCLAN - RISE OF THE CLANS
OVERVIEW
RockClan is most known for their resillience in the face of adversity. Their lifestyle -- living in the depths of boulders and mountainous lands -- is a life that only the strongest can truly thrive in. To water down RockClan to simply tough is a disservice to the family that makes up this Clan. As close as they come, RockClan warriors would do whatever it takes to defend their home. Their land is carefully guarded by their Sentries, cats who are trained to watch and survey for potential threats.
TERRITORY
RockClan's territory is by far the most perilous territory to live in- the territory consists of very mountain-like terrain, complete with large boulders and douglas fir trees. Mudslides and rock slides occur frequently, and it's very hard to traverse the territory. As a result, RockClan warriors are some of the toughest cats you're ever going to meet. RockClan warriors have paw pads that're tougher than hide and are very muscular, making any sort of climbing in this territory a breeze. The main prey found here are voles, moles, shrews, and occasionally an adder or an armadillo. The main predators found here are large birds of prey, coyotes, foxes, and large venomous snakes.
DAILY LIFE
RockClan like to keep up a profile of extremely tough cats. To help keep this image, it's a common bonding activity on patrol to sharpen one's claws on the rocks along the border, for the other clans to see. Whoever makes the largest scratch marks gets bragging rights, and gets to lead the rest of the patrol. From a young age, kits will challenge one another to see who can push the biggest rock in camp. This continues as a competitive activity into warriorhood; this can be dangerous, and has led to injuries, so it is frowned upon by senior warriors and leadership positions. Despite this gruff and tough outward appearance, RockClan is actually very easy going with one another and truly care about each other. They are extremely loyal, and will put aside personal differences to defend their Clanmate from outside trouble. Once a RockClan cat, always a RockClan cat.
SPECIALTY RANKS
With the uptick in trouble caused by rogue and forces unknown to the Clans, the leadership of RockClan decided that it was time for a specialized role in keeping a watchful eye out for the Clan. Sentries are a rank that specialize in surveillance and dexterity. They are expected to hone their climbing skills to perfection to effortlessly scale the mountainous terrain of RockClan. They are typically stationed at high vantage points such as trees and boulders both solo and with their fellow Sentries for day and night patrols. They are known to work closely with the Deputy, keeping them updated with anything concerning or notable they may have seen on their patrols. A cat can begin training underneath the Sentries after completing their Warrior’s training.

WOODCLAN - RISE OF THE CLANS
OVERVIEW
Shrouded in foliage, WoodClan spends most of their life underneath the barrier of trees they call home. They are best known for their dutiful behavior, patrols never being missed and borders maintained perfectly. WoodClan has a strong sense of community and support, which is reflected in their choice of specialty rank -- the counselor, trained to aid their Clanmates through their mental woes and resolve internal conflict.
TERRITORY
WoodClan territory is best characterized by the tight pine trees that cover the territory. Only WoodClanners know their way around the forest; newcomers are prone to getting lost and end up walking around in circles until a WoodClan patrol leads them out-that is, if they grow bored of watching the newcomer wander aimlessly! A trained warrior's eye is able to pick up the small winding paths that lead to the Thunderpath, the camp, and the training grounds. The main prey here are mice, squirrels, and songbirds, and very rarely, owls. The main predators are foxes, badgers, martens, large owls, and raccoons. The cats here are typically striped and dark colored, to best blend in with their territory.
DAILY LIFE
WoodClan prides itself on having obscure territory that they can quite literally disappear into within the blink of an eye. As a result, patrolling and maintaining the border is extremely important to this Clan. WoodClan cats also pride themselves on how good they are at hiding, and at younger ages often play hide and seek with one another to practice hiding in the territory. There is a strong sense of community and support for one another, as the forest of their territory gives off the impression of total privacy. One of the first training activities for new apprentices is to train their apprentice how to navigate their tricky territory. Naughty, adventurous kits are prone to getting lost in the territory if they make it out of camp, resulting in loud crying that experienced warriors can pinpoint almost immediately.
SPECIALTY RANKS
Following the murder of Bluefern and the eventual execution of Graybriar for his death, WoodClan’s morale was low. Hazelstar and Owlshine, then Leader and Deputy of WoodClan, sought for a way to improve their Clan’s attitude for the better. The role of Counselors, unlike the combat focused ranks of Warriors, are there to act as a comforting paw for their Clanmates, and are expected to put aside any judgement or prejudice to be the branch between the leadership of WoodClan and the cats that serve them. They are not expected to participate in border patrols, and are the last picks for any hunting patrols to ensure their presence whenever a cat needs them. A cat can begin training underneath the Counselors after completing their Warrior’s training.
Rise of the Clans - Official Map
Rise of the Clans is set in a fictional region in the United States, generally assumed to be located around the Pacific Northwest! As a result, there are a variety of naturally occurring phenomena, such as mountain ranges, lakes, marshes, the ocean, as well as more urban lifestyle, with a city located far away, along the ocean's coast. Weather can be extreme being so close to the ocean, as well as closer to the United State's northern border. Communities of feral felines have come to dwell in several places across the region. From the city to the mountains, felines live all different walks of life.
Rise of the Clans is OPEN for new members!

GHOSTS - RISE OF THE CLANS
Ghost characters are a unique, special playable character type in Rise of the Clans: they are active, undead spirits that haunt the territories the Clans call their home. It's unknown what compels one's spirit to manifest as a ghost, but there is one being responsible for this happening: Ether.
PAST LIFE MEMORIES
A ghost will never be able to formally recollect their entire life while alive. It is up to roleplayers what memories are taken from life into death!
HAUNTING THE LIVING
Every ghost is tied to a specific location as their "haunting grounds". They can only visually manifest at night. It takes a lot of energy for a ghost to manifest in front of the living: as a result, they will eventually fade from view after being spotted. They cannot interact with the physical world, but they can enter cats' dreams. They are somewhat transparent, with their eyes always "blanking out" into pure black or pure white, with no pupils or irises whatsoever.
Rise of the Clans will open for applications August 19th, 2024! Click here to learn more <3
CHARACTER CREATION - RISE OF THE CLANS
In Rise of the Clans, you are allowed two free character slots. With the use of group currency earned through participation, you can unlock up to fifteen character slots, as well as a special active ghost character slot.
The Clans of the Lake and Fjell'Byr are free to join without purchase. Rogues, loners, and kittypets require a purchase from the shop to create!
All LGBTQ+ identities are welcomed and respected. There are no limitations whatsoever. Characters may have any and all disabilities, there will never be a purchase required to implement a character disability. Cats are limited in their vocabulary and therefore cannot name the medical terms for their mental illnesses. That does not mean they do not have them, however: characters are allowed to exhibit all range of symptoms and side effects, provided all portrayals are respectful in nature. No ableism, homophobia, transphobia, or bigotry otherwise will be tolerated.
Character designs are meant to be "semi-realistic": cats must have realistic appearances with pelt colors and markings found naturally across the species: no unnatural colors (i.e. neon green, bright blue, firetruck red, etc.), and no completely unnatural markings such as complex or geometric symbols. Slightly unnatural markings and toned colors are allowed within reason, such as “doberman dog” coloration/markings on a cat, blue/purple toning to gray pelt colors, hearts/diamond shaped markings, etc. Genetic accuracy is not remotely necessary, i.e. there can be fertile male calicoes, and all color mutations are allowed without purchase.
Pure breeds and rare mutations such as polycaudal cats are allowed via shop purchases.
Characters are allowed accessories via shop purchases.

WoodClan's Camp - Rise of the Clans
Location
In the thick, tight pine forest WoodClan calls home, there is a single, large clearing that serves as WoodClan's camp. On either side, large thick bushes serve as both dens and the camp's walls. At the end of the clearing, a large, long dead oak serves as the Leader's Den. Sometimes for fun, or to take a nap, warriors of WoodClan will shelter in the large, gnarled branches of the dead oak. Because this is the only place the forest opens up, this is the one part of the territory where sunlight can directly touch the grass underpaw. Because this is the one clearing, it's virtually impossible to locate this camp to complete strangers of this forest.
Dens
Giant, thick bushes serve as the dens for WoodClan. While not pitch dark like the burrows of RockClan, the thick leaves and tangling branches of the bushes make these dens very, very dark overall. Cats must be careful not to trip over the large, thick roots: if a warrior's not careful, they're easy to trip over. Rarely, there are nooks and bends in the bushes that make the perfect lofted nests, for the very particular.
