The Warrior & Medicine Cat Code

THE WARRIOR CODE

• Defend your Clan, even with your life. You may have friendships with cats from the other Clans, but your loyalty must remain to your Clan, as one day you may meet them in battle.
• Do not hunt or trespass on another Clan's territory.
• Elders and kits must be fed before apprentices and warriors. Unless they have permission, apprentices may not eat until they have hunted to feed the elders.
• Prey is killed only to be eaten. Give thanks to StarClan for its life.
• A kit must be at least six moons old to become an apprentice.
• Defend your Clan, even with your life.
• Newly appointed warriors will keep a silent vigil for one night after receiving their warrior name.
• A cat cannot be made deputy without having mentored at least one apprentice.
• The deputy will become Clan leader when the leader dies or retires.
• After the death or retirement of the deputy, the new deputy must be chosen before moonhigh.
• A gathering of all four Clans is held at the full moon during a truce that lasts for the night. There shall be no fighting among Clans at this time.The word of the Clan leader is the warrior code.
• Boundaries must be checked and marked daily. Challenge all trespassing cats.
• No warrior may neglect a kit in pain or in danger, even if that kit is from a different Clan.
• The word of the Clan leader is the warrior code.
• An honorable warrior does not need to kill other cats to win his battles, unless they are outside the warrior code or it is necessary for self-defense.
• A warrior rejects the soft life of a kittypet.

THE MEDICINE CAT CODE

• A medicine cat may not fall in love or take a mate.
• A medicine cat may not have kits.
• A medicine cat may only retire when their apprentice is ready to take their place.
• A medicine cat shares dreams with only StarClan.
• A medicine cat may only discuss dreams, prophecies, etc. with their leader or other medicine cats at the monthly meeting; dreams of an otherwise prophetic nature should not be disclosed to any outside parties, or any other cats in the Clan.

The Warrior and Medicine Cat Code as they once were do not currently exist as the Clans are rebuilding from the bottom up and learning the lessons their predecessors once did through trial and error. Similar to Code of the Clans, some codes may be suggested that don't end up on this list and we may even allow non-canon codes to be added too if the leader's decide unanimously to permit it. If a code is rejected due to a leader denying it, it can be suggested again later, such as a leader denying the killing code and dying, their deputy speaking up to allow it and it being instated then - this allows the RP to be more organic! Please don't feel like your leader HAS to agree to a code, these will be introduced over the course of the Roleplay slowly.
