WELCOME!
Welcome to Rise of the Clans, an 18+, fantasy discord-based RPG directly inspired by the warrior cats series created by Erin Hunter. You are not expected, nor required, to have read any official canon material released to be a part of this group: a very basic understanding of the canon world of warrior cats is all that's required to participate!
This roleplay is plot-driven, both by an overarching groupwide plot, as well as both indirect and direct influences by personal character plots. As a result, roleplay mechanics are always updating and expanding, as members contribute and introduce new canon. Through group participation to earn group currency, simply called "points", your character can unlock potential plots that can result in permanent, canonizing changes to the roleplay.
We are LGBTQ+ friendly, and encourage character creation from all walks of LGBTQ+ life!
A discord account is required to participate as an active member of this roleplay. All roleplay happens in the official Rise of the Clans discord server.
SKILL LEVEL: Rise of the Clans is an English-Literate Roleplay/Writing/Art group. We welcome all roleplayers of any skill level: beginners to the world of art, writing, and roleplay are more than welcome to join! Please keep in mind, however, that this group will have minimums for reading comprehension, writing, and roleplay-related activity requirements to maintain membership within the group. There is a lot of reading of lore, mechanics, etc. to be able to participate fully within Rise of the Clans. Please only join if you feel your skill levels are enough to meet the minimum reading, writing, and roleplay literary requirements! Being able to create artwork is not a necessity to be able to participate in this roleplay: you may use any artwork that you have the consent and rights to use. If a roleplayer chooses to use others' artwork with prior consent and permission, this artwork must be properly credited. Those who are brand new to art, however, are encouraged to begin trying within this group: we strive to support and foster a new artist’s journey into the world of art! AI artwork is NOT accepted within Rise of the Clans whatsoever. We will not accept traced or stolen artwork, and pre-emptively ban those with a public record of doing so. Anyone caught violating rules in regards to artwork will result in immediate removal and a permanent ban.
