Stargazers::
Stargazers are the leaders of the clan. There are three Stargazers per clan. They share a den with each other and make desicions for the clan and battle plans together. They share conections with The Past and are the ones to recive dream, prophecies, and messages from them. When one or all of them needs to speak with The Past they travel to the clan's sacred place to speak with them. Stargazers do not retire. they remain Stargazers until they die, at which time their youngling will replace him or her. Theri name ends in "gazer".
Stargazer's Next::
The Stargazer's Next are chosen at birth by the healer. The young cat has no say in wether he or she wants to be the Stargazer's Next. The cat will not be trained by his or her mother but by the Stargazer that he or she has been asigned to. They also share conections with The Past but not as strong as the Stargazers. They stay Stargazer's Next until the Stargazer that trained them dies. Then they must travel to the clan's sacred place and be innitiated by the past.
Healers::
There is only one Healer per clan and he or she is in charge of healing sick or wounded cats. Healers share no conection with the Past. their only job is to heal the sick. Like Stargazers, Healers don't retire. They are a Healer until they die and then the Healer's Next takes over. Healers are respounsible for picking the Stargazer's Next. This is the only time The Past talks with the Healer. They will normally send a dream or sign to tell who is to be teh Stargazer's Next.
Healer's Next::
The Healer's next is also chosen by the Healer but The Past sends no message on who it should be. It is the Healer's choice and the healer's next has no say in wether he or she wants to be picked. The Healers next also shares no conection with The Past and their only job is to heal. They mostly stay in cmap unless a cat is too hurt to return to camp or they are going out to collect herbs.
Protecters::
Protects are in charge of hunting, fighting, and protecting the clan. When they become a Protecter they must take the sacred oath. This states that they give their life to The Past and the clan. they will not let a cat fall with out trying to help adn will serve their Stargazer and clan until death. Cats can become Protecters whenever The Past tells the Stargazers he or she is ready. Age does not matter.
Mothers::
Mothers give birth to kits for the clan but instead of having another cat train them the Mother trains her own kits. Age doesn't matter, Mothers must begin training their younglings when the Stargazers tell them The Past has approved of it. Mothers train the younglings until they can hunt and fight properly. Mothers can by Protecters that are just here to have kits or they could be full time Mothers and all they do is give birth and train younglings.
Younglings::
Younglings begin their training whenever the Stargazers tell their Mother that The Past has approved of their training starting. They are trained by their Mothers until they can train hunt and fight properly, again age doesn't matter. They are then sent to live on the edge of the clan's territory away from other cats for half a moon. Younglings are usually sent out in a group of three or four. They must hunt and fight for themselves, Every few days Senior Protecters are allowed to go and launch an attack. They can shed blood but can not kill. After half a moon the Stargazers and Healer go to bring the Younglings back to camp. The ones that survived become Protecters.
Elders::
Elders are the oldest cats in the clan. Only Protecters and Mothers can choose to retire. The only reason a Stargazer can retire if he or she gets a wound that prevents them from returning to their job. Elders are well respeted by the clan but don't do much. Stargazers sometimes come talk to them for adivice on what to do since they have been in the clan for moons.
