Code

Viperclan is a bit... "different" from the Clans you might know- because of their past. They don't follow the same warrior code. Instead, Hemlockstar created this code after Viperstar's death, when he told her about what he'd noticed during the battle with Blazeclan. Here's the code...


 * 1) 1. When an apprentice becomes a warrior, they will be questioned during their vigil, and depending on their answers, they will be assigned a mate. (This may be unclear, but all cats will be assigned a mate, the vigil answers simply influence the choice of mate) Cats are not allowed to talk about the vigil questions afterward.


 * 1) 2. If an apprentice becomes a warrior there are no warriors that do not have a mate yet, then the apprentice will be put on a 'waiting list' and will be assigned a mate when there's a cat who can be their mate.


 * 1) 3. The cats in the clan may not show affection toward any cat except for their assigned mate, and they still can't show too much affection toward their assigned mate.


 * 1) 4. Any cat who is discovered to have a secret relationship with another cat will be killed, injured, or exiled.


 * 1) 5. When a Viperclan cat catches a rogue on their territory, they must bring the rogue to camp to have a fight. These are mainly to give the cats something "fun" to do.


 * 1) 6. If a Viperclan cat is found fighting with a fellow clanmate, both cats will be injured by the leader.


 * 1) 7. If a cat does not pull their weight (ex. doesn't bring that much prey to camp) then they will not be allowed to eat until they catch five more pieces of prey and bring it back to camp.


 * 1) 8. Medicine cats will be assigned a mate, but will be the last on the 'waiting list'


 * 1) 9. Cats will eat when the sun rises and when the sun sets. They will not be allowed to eat any time apart from then. The cats will eat in order of rank, the leader eating first, then deputy, medicine cats, warriors, kits and queens, apprentices, then elders. Viperclan cats do not value their elders anywhere near as much as the clans you know, and they might sometimes exile an elder if he/she gets on the leaders' nerves.


 * 1) 10. Queens can show affection toward their kits when they are young, but once their kits become apprentices, their mother is not allowed to talk to them until they become a warrior (And when they are a warrior, you're not supposed to act like you care about them)
