The Laws of the Hollow: Roleplay Rules Adhere to Scratch Guidelines: All roleplay must remain PG. While Warrior Cats involves fighting, keep descriptions "cartoon-style." Excessive gore, graphic births, or inappropriate romance will result in an immediate report to the Scratch Team. No Power-playing or God-modding: Your cat is not a superhero. They cannot dodge every attack, hunt perfectly every time, or survive impossible injuries. You must allow your cat to have weaknesses and fail occasionally to keep the story fair. Respect Character Autonomy: Never control another person’s character. You may attempt to bite or scratch another cat, but the other roleplayer decides if the move lands. You must have explicit permission from a user before killing or permanently scarring their character. Literacy and Formatting: To keep the story engaging, we encourage "Semi-Literate" responses. Aim for 3+ sentences per post. Use "Quotes" for speaking and avoid using asterisks for actions. Always use brackets like ( ) or [ ] when talking as yourself (OOC) rather than as your cat. Character Realism: Names should follow the traditional Warrior Cats Naming System. Stick to natural colors (no neon fur or purple eyes). Each cat must have at least one significant personality flaw to avoid being a "Mary-Sue." Activity and Aging: If you are inactive for more than two weeks without notice, your high-rank characters (Leaders, Deputies, Medicine Cats) may be replaced. Cats age by "moons" (months). You are responsible for keeping track of your cat’s age and requesting a ceremony when they are ready to rank up. The Codeword System: To prove you have read these rules, you must include the hidden codeword in your sign-up comment. The codeword is "Sky-Stone." Applications without this will be ignored.
