cats, but GENETICS ARE INVOLVED this is basically just a normal. . warrior cats clan roleplay.. BUT. your cats can EVOLVE by having litters of genetically diverse and genetically strong children! your kits could either be more or less likely to have illnesses, be stronger, quicker, etc!! you can also make cats that look so much like not-cats they could be a whole new subspecies, if you can name it >:O oh, and don't worry, if you don't have a clue what genetics are, just ask a staff to do the genetics for you, just tell them a few physical traits about your cat also the rules might take a while to read, sorry!! 1. general rules 2. manual genetics rules 3. sign-up and litter rules 4. clan rules 1. general rules please be respectful to all people out of roleplay, and their character's actions are no reason to hold a grudge respect everyone's boundaries, and don't say something that will make another person uncomfortable if you're gonna be a cat, please do so realistically! your cat cannot do a front flip thirty times while swimming, we are not james bond <3 have common sense, have common manners, and try to avoid swear words! minimal, filtered swearing is okay, but if it's a little too much, you might be warned ^^ please don't have your character reference anything religious other than starclan, dark forest, or unknown residences! genetics don't affect behavior and rather only daily life, so please don't target the genetics staff saying "MY KIT DOESN'T HAVE PROPER GENES!!". 2. manual genetics rules cats can only be generated heterozygous, meanwhile their kits can be homozygous! not always, but sometimes! the genetics actually affect how your character does daily life, so say if your character has MYH-G1A, they can carry apprentices around [with a little-alot of effort], and drag warriors, but otherwise they probably wouldn't be able to carry something so heavy unless they put it on their back. upon generating your cat, you have to choose, either your cat has two alleles, dominant and recessive, of the same pair, or you request a staff for them to be codominant in a pair or two. it's suggested you research genetics before you do manual genetic picking, so your cat turns out the way you expect it to! 3. sign-up and litter rules you can join a litter, and whatever the kit's genetics are, you cannot change that. also, kits will be assigned genetics when they are born, and in your signup sheet, your kit's genetics can say 'pending'. you can have two cats, and yes they can be mates to each other if they aren't closely related-- well, either way, sometimes inbreeding isn't an option, but it's preferred you mate with unrelated cats if you can! real codeword is genetics, hide it in a sentence in the comments when you sign-up. cousins can mate, siblings and parents /shouldn't/ but. . inbreeding funny. . /hj, it isnt funny but i was joking your cat must look like a normal cat, and no they cannot be cyan or blue. they can be GRAY-BLUE, but not blue. again, react accordingly depending on what your genes are due to the no genetic change rule, you cannot change the looks of a kit from a litter that you claimed, as pelt color is linked to genetics. please, balance your genetics, your cat shouldn't be overly flawed or overly strong unless that's the genetics the staff assign to you when the kit you claim is born. 4. clan rules this roleplay will start off with all the cats being loners or in rogue groups, but if a rogue group surpasses 12 members, you can request for the group to become a clan, IF you are their leader. if your clan is in a cold biome, don't call your clan sunclan, if you're in a warm biome, don't call your clan iceclan, etc etc. your clan will be moving around constantly for food if they are under 16 members, but once you surpass 16 members you can start claiming territory. only little by little though, and not biome by biome. other clans are allowed to be in a territory skirmish with you, and whoever wins takes the territory for themselves. once the map for the roleplay is finished there might be hexes, in which you can claim territory hex by hex. we won't automatically have clan gatherings in the roleplay, but lore / drama between two clans may make way for such thing, for example if the leaders agree to gather after a war to chat like old buddies, and be on terms of a truce. thank you for reading the rules!! codeword is cats, hide it in a sentence!
