Someone's Warrior Cat Challenge

[HeyIExist]

Yes, I am jumping on the bandwagon and doing a Warrior Cat Challenge too. But it isn't really going to be a "Divided" playthrough, as I dug through the forums and found this post. I decided to use that save, so credit goes to Taduk for our starters. The format will be the one used in this fanfic. Of course, I am using medicine cat's version as a basis, but my edited ranks and such will be down below.

Challenge Rules

Clan Ranks:
Grand Royal - Leader of a clan. This rank is passed on to whichever Grand Royal Apprentice they think would fit the role. They are forbidden to have a family. They have a lifespan of 42 days (via console :D). 

Grand Royal Apprentice - First in line to become Grand Royal. They are directly trained by the Grand Royal. The cats in this rank are chosen carefully from kit Royals, the ones chosen having the highest of the most desired skill. The maximum amount of cats in this rank is 3. They have a training lifespan of 39 days, though if they surpass that and the Grand Royal is still alive (or something like that), then new Grand Royal Apprentices are picked and the old ones are bumped down to Royal. Along with the Grand Royal, three of the best Royals, or former Grand Royal Apprentices, will be assigned to each one to help train them.

Royal - Royals are some of the best warriors in the clan, though they are a last resort in battles. Royals are only allowed to mate with other Royals in order to "purify" the kit. They can't mate with siblings, though, and often they will request to mate with a Royal in another clan so that the kit is very pure. Royals can only have two kits per 6 days, and if they have more, that kit will either be traded to another clan for more pure blood (often what most do), it will be abandoned, killed, or bumped down to the rank of Noble. The latter also applies if there is 10 Royal Apprentices and a Royal has a kit, and the Royal will most likely be either killed or moved down to Commoner or Servant rank if they do so. A cat can only be born in this rank, meaning that no cat from a lower rank can rise to it. They have a lifespan of 40 days.

Royal Apprentice - There is a limit of 10 Royal Apprentices per clan. Each Royal Apprentice has two mentors, one a Royal and one a Noble. They have a training lifespan of 18 days.

Noble -  Nobles are the second-best warriors in the clan. Most Medicine Cat Apprentices are chosen from the Noble rank by the current Medicine Cat or Grand Royal, although there have been some exceptions. Noble queens can be chosen to adopt a former Royal kit that has been bumped down for a number of reasons. The queens that are chosen often pamper that kit, neglecting their own kits in the process. The amount of kits a Noble queen can ever have is 3, though if they are chosen to raise a former Royal kit, they are allowed to have 4. Any other kits they have will either be killed, abandoned, or moved down to the rank of Artisan, and the Noble queen that has that kit will be either killed or moved down to Commoner or Servant rank. Occasionally a Noble kit can be chosen to become a Grand Royal apprentice, although this is very rare. Noble is the highest rank a cat can rise to through a series of tests and challenges. They have a lifespan of 36 days. 

Noble Apprentice - There can be no more than 10 Noble Apprentices in a clan. Each Noble Apprentice has two mentors, a Noble and an Artisan, though occasionally one of those cats can be a Royal. They have a training lifespan of 12 days.

Medicine Cat - Medicine Cats are exceptions to many rules. For example, the Medicine Cat can order anyone around (even the Grand Royal), if it is for the benefit of the cat's health. They have a lifespan of 81 days.

Medicine Cat Apprentice - They go through a series of tests in order to become a Medicine Cat. They have a training lifespan of 40 days.

Artisan - Some Artisans are lucky enough to be picked to become a Medicine Cat Apprentice. Artisan queens can be chosen to adopt Noble kits. Unlike the Nobles, they treat all of their kits equally. Some Artisans can attempt to go through many test and challenges to become a Noble, but most are unable to. Many Artisans actually come from the Commoner rank. Artisan queens can only ever have 3 kits, bla bla bla. They have a lifespan of 30 days.

Artisan Apprentice - There can be only 10 Artisan Apprentices per clan, bla bla bla. Each Artisan Apprentice has only one mentor, another Artisan. They have a training lifespan of 10 days.

Commoner - Commoners are known for being weak in battle overall. Commoners can become Artisans through a series of tests and challenges, but if they fail they will become a Servant. Commoner queens can only have 1 kit ever, and if they have any more, the kit will be killed, abandoned, or bumped down to Servant. Same goes for the mother. Commoners are sent out first in battles, then Nobles, then Royals. They have a lifespan of 20 days.

Commoner Apprentice - Each Commoner Apprentice can have only one mentor, another Commoner, and there can only be 5 Commoner Apprentices per clan, bla bla bla. They have a training lifespan of 8 days. 

Servant - Any unlucky cat from any rank can become a Servant. Servants have to follow orders from their master or risk death. Servants can serve anyone Noble and higher, but only the Grand Royal can have more than 1 Servant. In fact, the Grand Royal can have as many Servants as they would like. There is no way out of this rank. If a Servant has kits, the kit can either be killed or abandoned, and the Servant mother is killed. They have a lifespan of 40 days.

Other Rules

I will use the same generators as in the original challenge.

Any queen must wait 9 days to have their kit (and by then they MUST have it unless you're a sadist. if they don't have it, they must die), and another 4 before they can do their rank again. If the Medicine Cat deems the queen too weak to do so, they get an extra 2 more days off, but that is it.

After a queen has a kit, they can no longer rise to any rank.

Any apprentice can have kits, and the same applies as above, but they get 6 days off and an extra 4 before they begin training again.

Story

Here are our starting Nichelings.

Here is the Grand Royal of RabbitClan, Goosestar!

And the Grand Royal of FernClan, Spottedstar.

 

Finally, we have Grand Royal of DustClan, Otterstar.

Then we have a Commoner of FernClan, Aspenwhisker.

Before going their separate ways, they agree that, until they have at least 1 cat in each rank, many rules will not be enforced. They also agree to mate with each other to up the ranks of their respective clans.

The next day, many begin their move towards their selected territories.

Goosestar has already made it!

Otterstar has reached her territory, while Goosestar begins clearing out the area.

Aspenwhisker and Spottedstar have ALMOST made it!

The cats of FernClan are finally in FernClan!

Next day...

Will the clans survive? Will Otterstar and Spottedstar's children be healthy? Find out...probably this Saturday!

Well, I've decided that I will be the most original person ever and come up with new challenges. Okay, they will be based off other ones and yes, I'm not good at handling complicated things and I also like bouncing around so........

The next one will be about real life gods in different religions and the challenge will be based off of @Larawolf's one, if you know what I mean 😉.
