ThunderClan Guide

[~Crescentstar~Shadowclan]

Welcome to ThunderClan! In battle, ThunderClan is feared for it's ferocity, courage and strength. Out of battle, they are loyal, compassionate and respectful. It is not uncommon for ThunderClan to accept cats born outside of the clans into their ranks, which many of the other clans view as a form of weakness. Despite this, they remain accepting of kittypets and loners who prove themselves worthy of living with the clans. ThunderClan rarely starts fights and is known to have a strong sense of justice. Because of this, they are passed down in legends as the clan of destiny and heroes, a title which they take great pride in and do their best to uphold.

Can my character be deputy/medicine cat/medicine cat apprentice?
High positions are usually determined in character. Things like working hard and stepping up can make a warrior character more likely to be chosen for deputy. And even though it is determined In Character, decent activity Out Of Character doesn’t hurt either! As for medicine cats, the leader usually chooses medicine cat based on who is willing to learn herbs or already has an interest in them, and then the medicine cat generally chooses their apprentice. Recent leaders have made threads where interested players add their character's name to a list for consideration.

Can we make an alliance/interactions/prophecies between Thunderclan and my fanmade clan?
Sadly, no, but thanks for the interest! The traditional clans follow the Warriors books somewhat closely and only interact with each other.

Where is Firestar, Bluestar, and other canon characters?
While the traditional clans follow the rules and arrangements in the canon story, traditional is considered to be an AU, following its own timeline from the books. As such, none of the canon characters exist here.

Who were Thunderclan’s past high positions?
As for medicine cats and their apprentices, traditional Thunderclan has probably gone through too many to list, as players come and go with the school year.

Thunderclan leaders: None so Far

Can my character join the clan (with or without the leader actually appearing in a joining thread)?
Of course! Though this is Traditional Warriors RP, anyone can join the fun! A joining thread isn’t even required, though some people write one for fun. Generally characters that are warriors and apprentices will respond as being near the border when they happen across someone there. If you would like an hp to ‘accept’ your character, post in the OOC chat thread or the current leader's HP Request Thread.

Okay but how do I write a joining thread?
Intros and joining threads vary depending on what a player feels like writing, though there are some common styles. Some people write a thread about things going on around the camp or territory inviting interaction, as if their character had been there forever! This might also be called ‘jump in!’ Some people write a thread about their character showing up at the border and requesting to join Thunderclan. Such threads are usually answered with patrolling characters.
