[glow=red,2,300]Getting started-[/glow]
The first step on this site, is to Create a Character. You will fill out a bio form, and quote, create the character. This cat can be anything you want; big, small, good, evil, tom, she-cat, nice, naughty... you just make the cat, with the information you give about it. Here is a copy of a bio:
[glow=red,2,300]Role Playing-[/glow]
Okay. So you've made your character. Now, it is time to ROLEPLAY. For short, we call this RP.
What RPing is, is taking the characters that you create, and creating your own mini story with them. You can interact with other characters. RPs are everyday Clan life stories... patrols, hunts, apprentice ceremonies, ect..... We will take our characters, and make a story with them... but we write the story, through our posts.
I hope you now understand what RPing is. Please take a look at some of the threads on the site, just to see what I mean.
Here's a good thread for you to look at:

[glow=red,2,300]Terms/boards-[/glow]
Next, we talk about what some terms mean:
Bans- Bans are when there are to many cats in a certain Clan, and we forbid members to make anymore characters in that Clan. For example, right now, there is a Ban on ShadowClan and WindClan Apprentices. So you can't make anymore Shadow or Wind Apprentices, but you could make a warrior or elder or something.
Affiliates- That's when a site puts our Banner on their site, advertising our site, and we put a Banner on our site, advertising them.
Graphics- Well, I'm sure you know that a graphic is a picture... some members are nice enough on this site to make custom graphics of your cat for you. You tell them the general idea of what you want it to look like, and they make it for you.
Plot- Plots are what the site mainly does for RPing. This is the huge story that everyone takes part in. As you can see, our current one involves the invasion of street dogs. When you post a RP post, that is like a small RP. Small RP's can be hunting patrols, border patrols, bored cats, fishing, anything that involves general, everyday Clan life. But in a site Plot, the RPs turn into the cats fighting off the evil force, or surviving whatever is happening.
Please take a look at our site Plot.
echoesoftime.proboards98.com/index.cgi?action=display&board=plots&thread=1181613369
Mates and Kits- On this site, you can RP a love story between two cats, and your characters can evetually become mates. Later on, you can decide if your characters have kits. We keep this site clean, and we don't RP the actual mating. You simply fill out the kit form, and then you can RP the she-cat having the kits. After the kits are born, you decide which members can adopt the kits, and which kits you and the mate decide to keep to RP yourselves.
Vacations- If you will be away from the site for more than 3 days, you must post on the Vacations Board.
Fanfiction- If you want to post any fanfiction that you created on the site, post it on the Fanfiction Board. Fanfiction is taking a t.v. show, story series, character of anything, and making your own story with them, or drawing a picture of them, or writing a poem about them. You must put a disclaimer at the beggining of each fanfiction, stating that you do not own the characters involved and you aren't making any money off of it.
[glow=red,2,300]Your Profile[/glow]
You can modify your profile to display images and make it different, to fit your tastes. Here are some terms:
Signature- This will appear at the bottom of every post you make. You can write text, or post graphics. Or links.
Avatar- This is a small pic (max size is 100x100 pix) that will appear under your name.
Personal Text- This is anything you want it to say. It will appear under your avatar.
Various- You can choose to fill in information that will appear in your profile or posts, such as Date you joined, your E-mail, and Location. For location, we suggest filling in something funny, or your dream home... we are sure there aren't any stalkers on this site, but outsiders will be able to view your profile.
Well, I think that covers just about everything. Please send me any further questions! Welcome!

Name:
Shadowstar
Clan:
RiverClan
Rank:
Young Leader
Gender:
Tom
Age:
48 Moons (4 Years)
History:
Shadowstar is RiverClan born, and RiverClan raised. He's had no serious trauma in his life, though both of his parents have died. His father was Leader before him, Shiningstar. When his mother, Sandstorm, had a litter of kits, the Clan Leader was excited about naming them. Two of the three kits were bright, sandy colors, much like their mother and father. But for some reason, Shadowstar had a dark pelt color, compared to the others. His father named him Shadowkit, but not in a despising way, just in honor of his pelt.
Sadly, after the kits were to become warriors, and complete their training, Sandstorm was attacked by a lone dog, while she hunted by herself.
Shiningstar was never the same after that.
He unraveled, and was never again the wise, and loving Leader... he was shaken, and couldn't get over her death. Eventually, he led an attack against ShadowClan, and when he tried to kill ShadowClan's leader in battle, the other cat had no choice but the fight for their life.
Shingstar was killed by the ShadowClan leader on that night.
Shadowfire was only a young Warrior at the time, but Midnightstar chose him as the new Deputy.
Midnightstar's Leadership did not last long... he sacrificed himself to save RiverClan's two newest kits when the River swept them away. He was drown, but the kits lived.
Shadowfire was hailed Shadowstar, and is now ready to lead his Clan, following in the once noble Shiningstar's paw steps.
Physical Description:
Shadowstar's pelt is not a ebony color, as one might imagine. But rather, a gray with an aqua tint to it.
His maw is narrow, with narrow eyes to match.
His eyes are a dull jade color, but are intimidating when alight with fire.
His body is compact with muscle. He's rather large, but can move at surprising speeds, also, very agile, and lithe.
Shadowstar has long legs for a cat, making him excellent at hunting and racing through the woods.
Personality:
Shadowstar's personalities can be mixed, just as most cats are.
Even though he is a very young Leader, he has that noble air about him. He holds his head high, and tail erect, and walks with a bit of a prance in his stride. He looks, and is, wise beyond his moons of life.
Composure is one of the keys for him. He could be a paw step away from death, and he wouldn't bat an eyelash. Though he may be quite fearful, he remains calm at all times on the outside. He seems to have a soul that cannot be shattered, nor a will that cannot be broken. He expects other cats will put him down, and therefor, is not surprise, or angry, when they do.
He is young, but he is an advanced fighter. He has always had a fascination with battle, and took great care to study it, even when he was too young for it himself. He has an endless supply of techniques that some cats have never even seen. Some, he took from other cats, but he has also created some new moves. His strong, full of muscle, and lithe body, make him that much more magnificent.
He loves to play with the kits, when he has the free time. He hardly ever stops going, but if he can find a moment or too, he won't pass up a playful romp with them.
Shadowstar currently does not have a mate, but that could change in the future...
