**For Rules regarding Realism and Literacy, see the Roleplay Information.**

1.) Do not claim anything on this website, or in the map, as your own if it is not your own. This will result in an immediate report to the FeralHeart mods.
2.) Please do not do or say anything a cat would not know. They do not know the lyrics of twoleg music, even if they are kittypets.
3.) Do not spam the chats. Local - RP with another person. General - Staff announcements, some OOC chat, and solo roleplaying. Group - OOC chat. Party - OOC chat and/or OOC meetings.
4.) Please do not harass the Staff for a high rank. High ranks are earned in roleplay, by being active, fair, etc. Auditions only open when we need Staff.
5.) Do not mate-beg. If you are in need of a mate, please roleplay it out instead of begging OOC. Do not detail mate! If you are caught 'DMing' you will be kicked from the roleplay, and immediately reported to the FH mods.
6.) Do not swear IC. Cat's do not know human swear words. It's best if you used "mouse-dung", "bee-brain", "fox-face" etc.
7.) Making random events happen, running off and making your cat get seriously injured, receiving special visits from StarClan without Staff permission, or any other event of such is not allowed without permission from Staff.
8.) Killing another player's cat must be roleplayed realistically and fairly, and under certain circumstances with Staff supervision. You may only kill another player's cat if you are both signed up on the "Risks" board. If you value your character's life, please do not let him/her make poor decisions, or lead them into something they might not be able to get out of.
9.) Yes: StarClan ; Firestar
No: Starclan ; FireStar
10.) Don't make your cat miraculously recover from a wound or injury. It takes days, or at most, a moon to recover.
11.) Please do not make your cat be blind, deaf, missing an eye, or any other disabilities without Staff permission. We will usually accept these kinds of disabilities, however, if there's not already a large amount in your Clan.
12.) If you go inactive, and people have roleplayed with your cat, you will be presumed missing and/or dead. If you go inactive, and have not yet roleplayed with anyone, you may jump in with that cat.
13.) When your character dies, you may roleplay them in StarClan//Dark Forest. If you want a new living character, please check the adoptions board for new kits. You may also bring in a rogue or kittypet character.
14.) Please respect each other as well as Staff.
15.) You may have four living characters, and for every character of yours that has died, you may roleplay them as spirits in StarClan/Dark Forest until they fade away and are reincarnated. Please do not create more characters than you can handle. You are allowed to have characters in different Clans. See the Character Guide for more information.
16.) Do not give your cat an unrealistic name. Visit our name guide for more information.
17.) Do not change your cat's rank without a ceremony.
18.) If you are a leader or a medicine cat and your cat dies, you must wait until two leaders/medicine cats of that Clan to become that rank and die. In order for your character to become a leader/medicine cat again, you must have roleplayed that cat since kithood.
19.) Please refrain from discussing any vulgar topics, such as rape, religion, abuse, or anything of that nature!
20.) We allow cats of all sexual/romantic orientations, as well as any kind of couple!
21.) Manes do not determine gender, Manes determine a cat's level of fluffiness. You may use any kind of mane on your tom or she-cat character, but do not use a full lion mane.

Every cat ages 1 moon per RL week. No exceptions. "But my cat is a kit!" calls the cat at the back of the class. You chose to be a kit, you must wait six weeks to be an apprentice. (Sign up on the Risks board to allow random events and activities to happen to your kit!)
| R A N K R U L E S |
-
Note : Female leaders and deputies can have kits! It is extremely sexist to say they cannot. When the leader is nursing her kits, the deputy can take over until they reach six moons. When the deputy is nursing her kits, a senior warrior cat take over until they reach six moons. Simple.
