Bloodclan
Bloodclan cats don't believe in Starclan so they don't live the same way as Clan cats. They don't have the same ranks, and aren't really considered a clan, just a loosely grouped together bunch of cats who never really belonged to any clan. Some of them are cats who were exiled from their clan, while others are rogues. The rest are ones who are born into the clan. Their way of thinking is 'If you can't survive in the caves, you might as well not live'.
Leader;
The leader of Bloodclan is usually dark and cruel. He/She controls their cats with force and fear. They are powerful and their order is absolute.
Beta;
Bloodclan doesn't have an actual deputy, instead it's the cat that the leader most trusts and will do all the dirty work for the leader. This cat obeys every order and would even slit his/her own throat if asked.
Healer;
They don't really have a medicine cat, but these cats do heal the guards, Elite guards, learer, and Beta. The leaders are left alone; If they can't hunt for themselves or get better on their own, they die.
Healer Apprentice;
The healer takes on one apprentice, but they don't really do much. They collect herbs and the biggest illness they deal with is a cold, sneezing, or stomach ache.
Spy;
These cats are spies for the leader. They will go to other clans and act as a warrior to get information. They will even spy on their own if asked. These cats are loyal to their leader and most are dark pelted to blend in with the shadows. To be a spy they must give up families and mates for they are to remain in the shadows, unknown to all cats but the leader. That way, if a few are sent to spy on their own, no one will notice that they are gone.
Elite Guard;
These guards and the stronger, faster, more intelligent cats who protect the leader. To become an elite, you must become a guard first and gain experience. The leader will at times watch the guards practice and fight, then choose one or two to be elites. These guards are the most trusted by the leader, besides his beta. These cats are mean and won't back down from any fight. They will slaughter any cat without hesitation if needed.
These guards like to flaunt their wins(kills) by placing the teeth of their victim, whether cat, dog, badger, or fox, around their necks on finely made chokers made from the fur of their kill. Some of them, to help them fight, will reinforce their claws with dog, badger, and fox teeth to make them more deadly. Their philosophy, 'the deadlier a cat looks, the deadlier they usually are'.
Guard;
These cats are the one who guard the caves. They are tough and mean, killing anything that tries to cross into their territory. These cats are the warriors of Bloodclan. Like the elite guards, they like to flaunt their kills by placing their victims teeth around their neck with a choker made from their victims fur.
Acolytes;
These are she-cats who their whole point in life is to breed. They must have a litter of kits once a moon, and are force bred if they decline. These she-cats are the ones who do not make it a guards, so their attitude is often kinder.
Kit-Mothers;
The are she-cat guards who have, or are expecting, kits. They stay in the nursery, which is just a warmer, better sheltered cave, until their kits have grown to the rightful age. These cats also take on the roles as mentors for their kits and the Acolytes kits, so the Acolytes can continue to breed.
Kits;
They are the young kits of guards, there is no Apprentice ranks in Bloodclan. The kits will be trained by their mothers, or den-mothers(if their mother is an Acolyte), then the leader chooses what role they will take on, depending on their personality. If they are good fighters and are mean enough, they become guards. If they are considered too soft, Acolytes.
Old Ones;
These are the Elders of Bloodclan. They are not respected like elders are by their clans. If they can not fight or hunt by themselves, they will die. If they get sick and don't know how to heal themselves, they die. Most cats usually go and die an honorable death when they get old instead of become Old Ones. Those that don't wish to die yet, become Old Ones.
