Permanent Queen(s)
Kits

Prisoners
Permanent Queen(s): Often only one Permanent Queen is assigned in Lustclan. Permanent Queens are the caretakers of the Nursery. If a Queen wants to go out of the Nursery for a bit, the kits are the Permanent Queen's responsibility. Permanent Queens are low in the hierarchy, though they are needed to be treated with respect. They are free to mate and are still open to anycat as if she were a Warrior, though she cannot be impregnated. Any cat to impregnate a Permanent Queen will spend their time as prisoner until they are freed. Permanent Queens cannot be impregnated, for it will stop their duty to be a caretaker. Any kits of a Permanent Queen will either be given to an open Queen if they still suckle, if not, then killed. The only time a Permanent Queen can get pregnant is if the Clan is in need of more cats, If there are too many apprentices or warriors, the Permanent Queen is off-limits.
Along with caretaker duty, Permanent Queens are assigned to help Queens with any need. If a Queen needs food, water, or a new nest; it's the Permanent Queens job to get it. This does not take away the Apprentice's duties, they must be the ones to hunt for the Queens as well. Even if a Queen needs pleasure, the Permanent Queen cannot turn them down.
Permanent Queens are chosen and/or volunteered. If nocat volunteers, a cat will be reaped for the job.
Toys: Toys are low-ranking cats - If a toy is a Toy-Warrior or Toy-Apprentice - A double-ranking toy, they still have their same rank that is not a toy. A Toy-Warrior still has the same rank as Warrior.
All ranks except the highranks and kits can become toys. Kits can be reserved as a toy - Once they become an apprentice, they become a toy.
Toys often start with litters. The most beautiful cats often become toys. Once a toy-reserved kit becomes an apprentice, they are given an owner. The prettiest she-cats and most handsome toms will be sold to the best Lustclan maters.
Other toys come from tresspassing cats - different from prisoners. If anycat out of Lustclan is found tresspassing - kittypet, loner, rogue or a different clan - they will be taken into camp and sold as toys. Non-Lustclan toys are auctioned off. A cat will state how they will mate to the toy and their punishment. The worse it is, the more likely that cat will get the toy.
Lustclan double-ranking toys must obey their owner. They cannot deny what their owner gives or does to them - the owner is free to whatever they please, as long as no wounds are inflicted. Cuts and minor wounds are fine, anything past will make the owner lose ownership to the toy and be held as prisoner until freed.
Prisoners: Prisoners are Lustclanners only. Any Lustclanner found committing treason or anything worth punishment will be assigned as prisoner and sentenced to The Thorns, as long as the Leader sees fit. If the felony is bad enough, they will do their time and die there, or do their time and be killed.
It is not just up to the Leader. A discussion between highranks will be sorted for however long the cat would be held prisoner, how bad a punishment, and if they should be sentenced to death. If it was a minor felony, the prisoner is likely to be released, either as a lower rank or the same rank. If a highrank is responsible for treason, they are still up as prisoner.
The Gathering Tree: The Gathering Tree is where the highranks give announcements. It is by the Leader's den to give room for the camp to still be open. The Gathering Tree has 3 large branches where the highranks can give announcements. Announcements for the Clan, ceremonies and any need-to-know information is told from the Gathering Tree. The branches are each below each other, top branch Leader, middle Deputy and bottom Medicine Cat.
The Thorns: The Thorns are 4 thorn branches that have been spiked into the Gathering Tree. They are used to keep a cat fully exposed; a thorn branch around each paw. If a cat bonded by the The Thorns tries to move, the thorns will stab the victim, stopping their movement. The Thorns are used for prisoners and toys - it leaves them fully exposed and open for anycat to take.
