New Recruits!

Okay, PhoenixClan is progressing well now (maybe). We have recruited a new Phoenix into our dying Clan, and Silentstar the dragon has been claimed! Also, to help out our clan, you may own up to six characters, NO MORE THAN THAT. We need to satisfy the fans of Warriors/mythical animals on this site, fill up the two Clans and the Loners list (coming soon), and get this blog moving. I'm working with the person who seems to like Silentstar to get her story working, but for now, here is her image, no BE because she already has one. XP

                                     Inline image 1
                                        Her Dragon Forme (I'll classify her as a Light dragon)
                                     Inline image 2
                                     Phoenix Forme (Huh, I wonder why...)
Also, I got a new recruit from Tallstar107 herself named Flamefur. No image so far, but I've already asked her for one. Congrats, both of you, our roster is getting fuller!

New Recruit!

Okay! We're off to a great start, PhoenixClan has a new recruit, named Nightwing! General Jitsu, an author on my main blog, owns Nightwing the Ice Night Phoenix. I made her a background and a story for her, so be sure to welcome her! Here is her BackGround...
Also, something that has been quite the rage among phoenixes lately because many of us have been eaten already.
PLEASE - put this on your signature if you know someone (or are related to someone) who has been eaten by dragons. Dragons are nearly unstoppable and, in case you didn't know, they can also breathe fire. 93% of people won't copy and paste this, because they have already been eaten by dragons. 6% of people are sitting in the shower armed with fire extinguishers and the remaining 1% are awesome and will repost.

Welcome to the Clan!

Hello, there, everyone, this is Froststar, and I am here to introduce you to the legendary PhoenixClan! We are affiliated with Jamaa, but we are separate from Frost, her Jamaasian Heroes, the Alphas, the normal Clans, and such. We live on the peak of Mt. Shiveer, where the Ram Spirit Stone was discovered to be completely dead. Bad luck place, we know, but the volcano near there is the perfect place to stay for a good lava bath. I myself am a blue phoenix, a rarer subspecies that prefer water to lava, but I have still ascended to leader rank. Got any problems with that?
Below are things you should know to get started, which are just the Phoenix Code and basic things you can do here to keep things simple.

__________________________________________________________
1. Phoenix Code
Just like the regular Clans, we have a code to keep our members in line. However, this one is different because of our *ahem* magical powers that also need to be kept in check. So, here is the list. Same as the site rules, these govern the ways we phoenixes in this clan live.
 A. Never betray your clan.
Because in the past, we've had problems with betrayal, murder, backstabbing and whatnot, this rule has been placed, both in the roleplay and on general site-surfing. Never, ever, ever, break the Phoenix code, else you will be exiled and listed as either an ENEMY or ROGUE. If you do decide you want to rejoin Phoenixclan, you have to promise solemnly to not break the rules again AND follow the Code as a rogue or enemy for a while, then we may readmit you. Betrayal includes but is not limited to: giving out personal information, giving information about our activities to outside parties, acting ruthless or otherwise evil, cussing excessively ( we do allow minimal cussing because everyone gets frustrated, but too much can get annoying and be known as an act of rudeness), or killing a fellow member.
 B. Never abandon a fletchling, whether different species, clan or otherwise.
This is required in the roleplay. If you find a fletchling, whether by accident or on purpose, NEVER leave it alone without feeding it or saving it from any predicament. All children are welcome in the Clan, even normal animals, rogues, or rival species. We raise them as our own, and who knows, maybe one of our own will adopt it or somebody will claim it to roleplay with us! If you do not bring all fletchlings, even dead ones, back to the Clan without any harm, I will promptly either degrade you or punish you and rescue the fletchling myself.
 C. Only have relationships of any kind with clan members
It's sad, but we are forced to only let you be friends or mates with Clan members. In the past, back when PhoenixClan wasn't near extinction, many phoenixes had affairs with dragons or rogues, and unfortunately ending up either betraying PhoenixClan or running away with their mate. Don't worry, once our Clan gets larger, we'll have many choices and other friendly phoenixes! If you are caught breaking this rule, you will actually be kicked out of the Clan and hunted down with your friend for punishment and/or death. I'm sorry we're this strict, but we cannot risk extinction.
 D. Always feed fletchlings and elders first.
To respect the weak, we have a policy that the elders and fletchlings are fed first when any prey is caught unless they refuse to eat or are full. Of course, when we can, we try to get stronger phoenixes to get a share, but sometimes in times of food shortages we need to feed the needy and let ourselves starve. Eating in the wild is permitted but frowned upon, and its strictly forbidden in times of starvation. Be sure to check prey for excessive decay or other problems before giving your food to the fresh-kill pile, of course, otherwise you may cause a health hazard for a fellow phoenix.
 E. No detailed birth or anything else disturbing.
Because of younger phoenixes helping out our Clan and whatnot, we cannot have detailed birth or violence in our clan. If you are watching a birth, be sure to leave for a bit when it seems as if the fletchlings are hatching, and if you are the mother, be sure to not describe the birth with too much detail. For violence, its rather simple and standard: ask the victim of your attack Out Of Character if they are willing to take a blow before letting the hit land. Of course, because of this, it is requested that you let some critical/normal hits land, and to have no invincible or excessively powerful phoenixes exist. Running around invincible annoys others, and isn't fun at all. Also, the yanking of organs and blood is forbidden, and if you are found doing this.. well, obviously, you are kicked out. Please don't do it.
 F: Stay inside Clan Borders unless you are on a quest or have permission
For your safety and to keep track of everything, unless you are on a quest or have permission, do NOT, I repeat, DO NOT go down the slope of the mountain. A map of the territory will be made soon, but until then, stay near the camp. Most of our prey is inside the borders, and if we need more prey or have another mission, I will choose random phoenixes to go after a meeting at the Lavarock. If you need to leave Clan Borders for any good reason, ask me if I'm not doing something else, and see if I will let you, but if you leave without permission or stay away for more than a moon, I will count it as running away and will denounce you to a Rogue.
 G. Ask me if in doubt
If you have any questions, feedback or concerns, please email me @ samurott331@gmail.com or comment. Thanks for reading, we will add more rules as we go!
*Other Rules*
 H. The deputy must have raised an apprentice to warriorhood before being appointed.
This applies to all new ones after the first one is assigned, as I need a good moderator to help out. The deputy is a MODERATOR, in fact, and has the job of managing comments and such. However, they also are tasked with roleplaying at least weekly, and generally keeping PhoenixClan in shape.
 I. All warriors must do a vigil after they gained warriorship.
This means that all phoenixes that have gained warriorship must roleplay for an hour, or if they need to, an hour spread over the day, once they have found out their new warrior rank. If they do not confirm within 72 hours unless they have stated earlier that they cannot come on, they will be removed from the Clan entirely.
 J. Do not attack any others without a good reason.
Please do not attack others within your clan, rogues or rival clan members (usually NPCs but still off-limits) without a good reason. We do not want too much fighting in the roleplay, because there are times when being a hero is being a pacifist. A good reason would be like hunting on borders, attacking violently, or otherwise threatening the Code or the Clan.

2. Things To Do
Here is a list of things to do once you have read everything on this blog. You might want to do them in order, of course.
1. Sign up your phoenix animal!
2. Read the goal of PhoenixClan until you understand it thoroughly
3. Write a story for your phoenix
4 Submit the story
5. Start to roleplay
6. Talk to the NPC version of me through your tutorial, where I guide you through a pre-arranged roleplay that will be deleted afterwards. Don't forget to finish it and be granted a rank (either fletchling, warrior or apprentice)
