Welcome to Iceclan!

Hello there, young cat, I am the wise leader of IceClan named Froststar. I reckon  that you want to join, no? You're able to choose your own name here, but remember, it has to be like "Steelsoul" or "Barkstep", not "Anne" or "Tom" or something like that... unless you're going over to the wolves, of course. Who are the wolves, you ask? Well, I'll tell you after our tour...

Before you join, please read everything below and have read at least all of the guides in the Warriors series (by Erin Hunter) alongside at least one Warriors book. I don't want people getting confused or breaking the Warrior Code (of Conduct, I'd add.)
I'll give you a tour of the camp so you aren't confused. :)
We're right inside the leader's den, built into the side of a small cliff. A small waterfall covers the entrance, alongside a large pool of water to keep out intruders. Don't worry, of course, the water is more like a massage when you go under it, flowing fresh from a lake nearby.
Inside, I've placed a bed of moss, twigs and some leaves, although some of it is scattered all over the place because I... well, let's say I'm grumpy at sunrise. The den burrows deep into the cliff, built out of pure rock. Water drips from the ceiling, congealing in cool pools underneath our paws. An empty deputy's nest is next to mine, since our last one... vanished...

Let's go outside on a happy note, shall we? Trees line the grassy ledge above the cliff, pines and oaks combined in a hodgepodge of greenery. The cliff slopes down on either side of the hole, so that it forms a sort of crater around the entire camp. In the sides of the cliff are holes not too much unlike the leader's den, shallower and without the water, but still nice. There is a sandy pit in the center of the camp, where our fresh-kill pile sits on top of some rocks. Not too far from the leader's den is the med cat den, where moss hangs over it and the scent of herbs wafts out of the entrance.
A tall outcropping jutting from the cliff face is where I stand when I make announcements to the clan every few days or so.
I think this is good enough for today; I hope you consider joining our clan! :)

Here is our clan currently. It's pretty empty; be sure to fill it up once you're ready. There is also the ??? Wolf Pack listed here, but I don't recommend you join... them.

IceClan:
Leader: Froststar (Amy Jiao)
Deputy: Needed! (I will choose this myself.)
Deputy's Apprentice: Wanted.
Warriors: Desperately needed! (No requirements, of course.)
Brambleheart (Amy Jiao)
Snowclaw (Amy Jiao)
Mapletail (Amy Jiao)
Queens: You can be one alongside a warrior, but first you need to enter your kits on their own forms too. Not really needed, but wanted.
Kits: Same as Queens.
Apprentices: Wanted, but currently not needed. (You don't have to be a kit before this to become an apprentice!)
Med Cat: REALLY NEEDED! (No requirements, just be sure to actually know some healing methods in Warriors first please. Although, you're actually recommended to have the power to heal small ailments for this notch. :) )
Med Apprentice: Wanted.

Kittypets: Wanted, but probably won't get much screen time anyway, since the Twolegplace is very, very far away from IceClan.
Linda (Amy Jiao)
Trixie (Amy Jiao)

Rogues: Actually unrecommended, I would prefer you enter a wolf into the Pack instead of a rogue.
Brown (Amy Jiao)

Loner: Same as rogues.

Other animals: I might make an exception for this, but there is limited space except for wolves. This one is where you enter other animals that live in the Minnesota area of America, since that is where IceClan is located.

??? Wolf Pack:
Alphas: Needed, but you should have some knowledge of wolf expressions AND have recieved my profile comment(s) about the pack's history and current status before you start roleplaying.
Other Members: Wanted, but I would prefer you also have an IceClan cat before we go into wolf packs.
Kairos (Amy Jiao)
Porcelain (Amy Jiao)
Thometes (Amy Jiao)
Omega(s): If you REALLY want to be the comic relief runt, here you are!

I know I'm probably overwhelming you, but listed below is the story of IceClan... or as much as I can tell, telling from all of the jumbled stories of our mysterious ways.

IceClan is a clan far away from any other clan, an isolated patch an ocean away from other clans. No one knows how that happened or how they miraculously are like any other clan, but it is said that any cat who joins this clan either is truly gifted... or cursed.
IceClan is a clan of stories, mysteries and magic, intertwined with conspiracies, wars and betrayal. One vague story out of many tall ones, however, may explain more about their past...
Ice was a mysterious one, consorting to no one and bound to no one. She wandered around the "New World", telling stories of tribal cats across a salty, vast lake, but of course, no one believed her. She was considered a "mousebrain" or a rogue by others, but she was actually a cat from across the "sea.
Those few who did believe her stories of the Dark Forest, Starclan, tribes in the Highrocks (or mountains, as she called them), and a world beyond the forests, began to congeal into a tightly-knit family, or a "clan". Ice had kits, and following the will of StarClan, changed her name to Icestar, also staking out territory around their camp behind a waterfall. A mysterious stone, called by no other than the Star Pyre, was to be the place where cats had their leadership ceremonies or made important decisions. Legend said that the spring around the tall crystal could heal any ailment, regardless of the ailment... or could boil your bones and consume your soul.
Of course, IceClan was a clan of cats who were calculating, wise and self-leading, who didn't mind swimming, were mysterious in many ways, and oftentimes had magical but secret abilities. There once was a cat that, while his nose was pressed to the Star Pyre and he was envisioning the future of IceClan, was killed by foxes, and the cat that went with him woke up to only a nose stuck to the stone, which was taken as an omen that one day, the Clan would be divided, wrenched and beaten, yet one part would remain, and regrow the legacy of IceClan...
That fateful moment was far too many moons ago to count, and since then, the cats of IceClan have overreacted to any threat to their clan, ranging from the ominous (monsters plowing down the forests around them and dogs that resembled wolves running through their territory) to the downright laughable (Somebody's leftover lunch? Seriously?), yet a real threat has arrived.
Something that is undoubtably, the omen.
Magical incidents have happened for several moons. Cats are disappearing, monsters have been coming off of their roads and killing other cats and animals, and a meteor in the sky has been appearing night after night, every cat that sees it dying later the next day. And a threat that could end IceClan's mysterious ways is approaching...
Wolves from a land far beyond, with far more power, skill and strength than the cats have arrived. And they are slowly gaining territory around IceClan's, ready to invade at any moment.
Only Froststar, a cat with severe amnesia yet wisdom, and her friends can stop this threat.
Your cat may be able to save IceClan from the wolves beyond.

Forms, forms, forms... I need these so that I can let you into IceClan. I can also arrange for you to join the ??? Wolf Pack, but I seriously doubt you want to join THEM. I do recommend you email me this @ samurottt@gmail.com, though, to avoid hassle and spamming up the Forms page.

Clan Cat Name (a warrior cat generator or your imagination works well for this...):
Clan (currently only IceClan and the ??? Wolf Pack is avaliable, so you can be a kittypet, loner or rogue if you don't want to join IceClan itself.):
Looks (image URL or a very good description, please):
Likes (include as much information as possible, such as favorites, peeves, crushes, relations, etc.):
Backstory (be creative, pretty please):
Personality (traits):
Strengths (5 and under):
Weaknesses (Matching the amount of your strengths or more):
Anything Else? (I might add to the form later, so check back occasionally.):

Just to lift your spirits, I'm going to make up a quick comedy so that I can get you laughing. :D

The camp of StoneClan is in a deep crevasse. A monster - path runs alongside it, filling the camp with oodles of noise every night and day, unrelenting. One day, when most of the cats are out patrolling or hunting, and the elders and kits are in the camp...
SCCREEEEEEEEEEEEKCH!
A large truck falls into the crevasse, squashing the entire camp underneath it. Most of the cats are killed, and the patrols run back in alarm and horror, but then, Yellowheart, a blind elder, pokes his head out of his ruined den and shouts "What is going on here?! I can't SLEEP!"

Gruesome, but kinda funny. ;-D
