Guide to the Creed

[flamewhisper]

The Creed

The creed has no belief in Starclan. Their main goal is to destroy the other clans and wipe out Starclan itself. Their rule is "Join us or die". The is no in between. These cats came from all the clans, joining together under the same beliefs. The don't believe in Warriors code, but they do have their own rules.

Alpha:
The Alpha is the leader of the clan. Cruel and cold hearted he leads the clan. His rules must be followed or you will die. There is no chance of being banished. The Alpha has 7 lives instead of 9 for he get's his powers from the dark souls in the Forest of Lost souls. He must have a mate, if she dies he must find another.

Beta:
The Beta is the mate to the Alpha. She is like a deputy, but she controls the clan just as much as the Alpha. However, unlike a Deputy, the Beta is not a sure thing. If the Alpha decides he doesn't like her anymore, or she doesn't follow his rules well enough, he can either toss her aside or kill her. If the Alpha is to die, she must choose another. She usually chooses the brother or father of the former Alpha. She does not get extra lives like the Alpha.

Healer:
The healer is like a Medicine Cat, except from where their visions and powers come from. They get them from the lost souls, so their visions aren't as strong. The healers can have a mate, their first born then becomes their apprentice. These cats collect herbs and heal the cat's in the creed, just like a medicine cat. The main difference is that they are allowed to kill wether it be their own Creed mates or an intruder.

Healer's apprentice:
The healer's apprentice is the healer's first born. They are trained in the ways of the healer and are often sent to do the dirty tasks. They are given powers just like the Healers, just not at full. When the Healer dies, they become the healer.

Alpha Guards:

[/u]
These cats are extremely powerful cats that protect the alpha. Their personality is just as warped at the alpha and they could care less for any cat, even their own kin; though some do care for their kin. They would no more than blink when they kill, feeling no regret or remorse. They will even kill the warriors; sometimes for their alpha's protection, or just for fun.

Spies:
These cats stay under the radar, spying on their clan mates for the Alpha. They know all the dirty secrets of every cat, but are extremely skilled at hiding their own. Spies pretend to be warriors and friends of others, but in reality, they are just digging for dirt on the others. They make no friends and don't care about others. They trust no one but the Alpha, not even the other spies. If skilled enough the Alpha will send them out to other clans to find the weakness of any cat, but only a few are given the honor.

Warriors:
They are like regular warriors, they just don't follow the warrior code, only the Alpha's code. They are the fighters of the clan and have the right to kill any intruders.

Apprentices:
Just like regular apprentices. They are taught how to fight by their parents.

Queens:
Just like any other queen. They are she-cats who have or are expecting kits.

Kits:
These are the kittens of the queens. They are just like normal kits.

Elders:
These are the older cats; retired warriors. Most who become elders don't want to live because they feel useless. Most ask the Healer or the Healer's apprentice for a quick death.[/blockquote]
