BIOS
Bio is short for biography.
A bio is where you describe your cat- its name, age, appearance, personality etc. You can write normal bios, which can be quite short, or developed bios, which are longer and more in-depth. To make one, simply copy the form corresponding to the type of bio you wish to write [normal or developed], make a new thread, fill in the form and post! If the bio fits all requirements, staff will accept your bio and move it to the 'accepted bios' sub-board; if you did something wrong, staff will point it out and tell you how to fix it. You can only roleplay the character once the bio is accepted.
Also, you cannot play a high position in a Clan that you didn't make. You cannot play the leader, deputy, medicine cat or medicine cat apprentice of an official Clan [unless you are granted the high position] as the high positions in the official Clans are taken.
REQUIREMENTS
#Your bio must be written in third person [he, she] and in the present tense [to do--> does/to be--> is]. This rule does not apply if your cat is dead of if the part you are describing has changed since then. If you wish to write a bio in first person please specify so in the title of the thread or somewhere in the bio.
#You bio must be realistic. No huge heads, no rainbow-coloured eyes, no purple fur. Your cat can't fly or understand human language. Don't make your bio absurd! It has to make sense.
#You must wait for staff to accept your bio before using that character.
#You must use correct grammar, spelling and punctuation, particularly in developed bios. Misspellings, typos, unrealism etc will get your bio denied.
#Do not yell at staff if they don't accept your bio immediately. They will tell you what you did wrong, and accept it after you've fixed it.
#Your character can not meet, be related to, see or otherwise know about any characters from the Warrior Cats books nor belong to ThunderClan, RiverClan, WindClan or ShadowClan. In this 'alternate universe', the books never happened.
