Lunarclan Ranks

[Draven]

The High Council

Leader
Ashstar
The boss kitty. His or her word is law, nobody can question their authority. They are one of the few cats to have full rights, including but not limited to leaving without permission and breeding without permission. Others must come to them for these rights. Their name always ends in "star."

Confidant
None
The mate of the Leader. While this is a high rank, they don't have any real power besides being mated to the Leader. How much power they have is completely up to the Leader. The owner of this rank usually changes annually and is always a second rank. The Confidant goes about their regualr duties.

Deputy
Cometstripe
Lunarclan's official second-in-command, hand chosen by the Leader. This cat can be counted on to keep order when the Leader is out, and if the Leader dies they become the new Leader. They have permission to leave the territory as they wish but must still ask permission to mate.

Medicine Cat
Fullmoon
The lead healer of the clan. They are usually the clan's storyteller, too. They are prized for their wisdom and poise. They have the same rights as the Deputy.

Medicine Cat Apprentice
Shadowpaw
This healer is second in command. He or she is under the tutelage of the Medicine Cat, and their bond is much like parent and child. If something should happen to the Medicine Cat, the Apprentice takes their place.

The Warriors

Scouts
None
This Warrior branch is tasked with guarding the boarders. They chase out any intruders and accept those worthy. They need to be alert cats with good judgement of character.

Gatherers
Dawnfeather
The Gatherers collect herbs that the Medicine Cat needs. In a time of great illness or war, they double as healers to lighten the Medicine Cat's load. They are usually female.

Hunters
None
Without Hunters, the clan would starve. Their job is to catch prey for the clan. They give food to the very old and the newly weaned first, since they are less able to hunt for themselves. In war time, Hunters double as spies.

Mediators
None
These cats make sure all is well in the clan. They help settle disputes between members and bring complaints to the Leader. They're the most patient and understanding of the clan.

Slayers
None
These are the fighters of the clan. If a scout is having trouble with an intruder, the slayers arrive and erase the problem. They are cold, ruthless felines that do not fear death. They are almost always males.

Nannies
None
Always female, these cats tend to the kits. They tell them stories about the clan and teach them how to hunt, fight, and interact with the clan.

The Unranked

Newcomers
None
For the first two months a cat spends in Lunarclan, they are not considered a true member. They are on trial. The Leader and Deputy watch them closely to see how they interact with the clan. They can be kicked out at any time and have no real rights. At the end of the two months they are given a proper rank.

Apprentices
None
Cats six months and up that are still undergoing training for their rank. They can apprentice in any rank the Leader sees them fitting in. Their name always ends in "paw."

Kits
None
The cats under six months of age. They are the future of the clan and are guarded jealously. Harming a kit is a severe offense and had equally severe consequences. Their name always ends in "kit."

Filth
None
The garbage of the clan. They have done something to anger the Leader and as such have lost all rights. Slayers often use them as punching bags when training, and gatherers test herbs on them to make sure they're safe to use. Their lives are hard, but they are kept alive. Death would be too kind for these traitors and felons. Their names always end in "filth."

The Departed

Honored
Firestar
Former Leader of Lunarclan, killed by the attacking dog pack. Firestar was an exceptional Leader and a fierce friend. He will be missed terribly by the entire clan, especially Ashstar. The clan prays he reached Starclan safely.

Darktail
Former Deputy of Lunarclan, killed by the attacking dog pack. His courage in the face of danger will never be forgotten.

Despised
