Hello and welcome to the OC Form for "Moonwake"!

The full summary for the story goes as follows:

When a Tribe is threatened by a new enemy, they must join forces with their old rivals, the Tribe of Thorns. In order to ensure their help, young Falling Moon must become the mate of Smoke Shade, the next leader of her former enemies. With her Tribe in need and danger lurking, Falling Moon knows the deal can't be broken.

This story is currently set to be rated T, but could change to M. With that in mind, it could contain violence, cursing, and adult themes. So if that is not your cup to tea, feel free to leave.

GUIDE:

- Nekos are basically humans with cat ears, tails, and (some) abilities, such as great night-vision. So even though they refer to each other as "cats", they are not actually cats.

- This story takes place in North America, not England. That means that names including things like "peach", "bear", or "opossum" are completely normal and acceptable.

- Names come in two parts, and are given at birth. There are no name changes as a character moves up in the hierarchy.

- Nekos are pregnant for 9 months. If you send in a pregnant neko, please mention how far along she is.

- Nekos get a good amount of exercise and have limited food. Because of this, they are very unlikely to be fat. Some may have weight gain due to age or pregnancy, and some may be heavier by nature, but most nekos will be in shape.

- Skin colors come in these variations: Fair, Rosy, Cream, Tan, and Dark.

- Hair colors are the same as normal humans, but also include white and silver as natural colorings.

- Eye colors include: Blue, green, hazel, brown, amber, orange-amber, and gray/silver.

- Kits remain in the nursery until they are 10 years old.

- Apprentices train from the age of 10 to 15, after which they become warriors. They spend the first two years of apprenticeship learning basic skills, and then spend the next three learning more complex strategies. An apprentice will not be allowed to fight until they are 13.

- A neko is not considered a full adult until they are 18, and most of them retire between the age of 40 to 50.

- There are no deputies. Instead, the healer chooses the next leader as a young kit (usually toddler-aged), and the chosen kit will spend their life preparing for the role. (THESE SPOTS ARE ALREADY TAKEN).

- The Tribes don't have a lot of contact with humans. So they don't dye their hair, have piercings, etc. However, they may wear simple jewelry made of stones, shells, wooden beads, etc.

To anyone who's had some characters that weren't included, there's nothing wrong with them. I simply wanted to ensure that other users would be able to submit characters as well. It's a matter of keeping a lot of variety, that's all.
