~ || ♥ { [ ☏ — { [ ☻ ] } — ☏ ] } ♥ || ~ Iɴᴛʀᴏᴅᴜᴄᴛɪᴏɴ ——— Hello everyone, and welcome! As you may know, WindClan is adding a new role. This has been in the works for some time now, but we’re finally ready for applications to open — so I ask that you keep an open mind, as we believe this will be a great opportunity for the Clan going forwards! So, with that being said… let’s get onto it, shall we? ~ || ♥ { [ ☏ — { [ ☻ ] } — ☏ ] } ♥ || ~ Iᴍᴘᴏʀᴛᴀɴᴛ Iɴғᴏʀᴍᴀᴛɪᴏɴ ——— The Therapist role will be chosen and monitored by the Lead Medicine Cat, and their job will be somewhat similar; while a Medicine Cat monitors the physical (and sometimes spiritual) health of the Clan, the Therapist will be there for mental aid and support. Though it’s true that the Therapist may just be another rank for our fantasy cat roleplay, we also think their presence will have a positive impact on the real world, helping to advocate for (and positively reenforce) understanding, stability, and better mental health. In order to apply, I ask that you take this seriously! Sadly, if mishandled IRP, it could have negative impacts elsewhere. We want this role to be handled with utmost sincerity. This is highly, highly, important — no one should feel that they/their mental health is being belittled, dismissed, or misrepresented, due to the mistakes of a (hopefully) well-meaning person. And though I know it seems like a lot of pressure, all it takes is a little empathy, insight, and the necessary research; it may take a bit of work, but we believe this will prove to be a worthy next step. Rules, requirements, and the application form will be listed below! ~ || ♥ { [ ☏ — { [ ☻ ] } — ☏ ] } ♥ || ~ Rᴜʟᴇs/Rᴇᴏ̨ᴜɪʀᴇᴍᴇɴᴛs ——— ♪ You must be at least 13 years old ♪ You must have a basic understanding of the importance of mental health, the things that may wear on it, and the daily trappings of Clan life ♪ You must be able/willing to do research ♪ You must have been in TFC for at least two months, and your character must have lived in WindClan for one (OORP) ♪ The codeword is chamomile, hide it well ♪ You must try be active, and notify the current Lead Medicine Cat if your activity will suddenly drop ♪ You must be willing to work in conjunction with the Medicine Cats, and understand that, in becoming Therapist, your character may not magically gain knowledge of herbs and healing ♪ Do not put yourself or others down when applying — this is a rather large red flag when looking for a Therapist ♪ Applications in the comments are preferred, as I (or others) may have further interview-style questions to ask, and it’s easiest to keep them all in one place. That being said, remixes or forum posts will also be accepted! ♪ Finally, just… try to be nice? If it’s believed you’re mishandling the role, you may get removed, and a replacement will be found — but we sincerely hope that won’t happen :) ~ || ♥ { [ ☏ — { [ ☻ ] } — ☏ ] } ♥ || ~ Aᴘᴘʟɪᴄᴀᴛɪᴏɴ Fᴏʀᴍ ——— Username (without the @.) [] Character’s name & age [] How long have you been in TFC? [] How long have you been in WindClan? [] A bit about yourself [] A bit about your character [] Why do you think you should get this role? [] On a scale of 1-10, how interested are you? [] Other (include codeword here) ~ || ♥ { [ ☏ — { [ ☻ ] } — ☏ ] } ♥ || ~ Aᴘᴘʟɪᴄᴀɴᴛs ——— ✄ @. ✄ @. ✄ @. ~ || ♥ { [ ☏ — { [ ☻ ] } — ☏ ] } ♥ || ~ Cᴏɴᴄʟᴜsɪᴏɴ ——— Please understand that just because you’ve gained the role of therapist IRP, it doesn’t mean you have to take everyone’s real-world problems onto yourself — though you are encouraged to be there for others, you must be willing to respect your own boundaries too! I love you guys, and honestly can’t wait to see where this all leads. Good luck! <33 ~ || ♥ { [ ☏ — { [ ☻ ] } — ☏ ] } ♥ || ~
