high rank auditions
NOTE: Please be aware that this is only available for the first running of High Ranking auditions. Any other way of becoming a high rank is going through the same sort of system we choose our staff - dedication and advocating for the role.
What this essentially means is that a deputy can be chosen by the leaders so long as the person desired is notified beforehand and is proven to wanting to be the role. If you want to be a deputy, you can prove a characters dedication to be the role and notify the leader that you are okay with being one.
A character desiring to be a medicine cat can approach the current medic and ask if they can train under them, and proving their characters interest in the role. If there's currently no medic and no apprentice, a leader can hold a small event for anyone wanting to be one to show their dedication and desire for the role so the leader can choose them.
A part of this is to allow more characters to have some connection with the leader and their choice to have you as another rank, and to show dedication in being the high ranking role you're going for.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Before you audition to be a high rank of a clan, please make sure that you're going to be active on the role, especially anyone aiming to become a leader for a clan. If you are in a different timezone that may interfere with most of our schedules, don't be afraid to apply, and still try anyway. If you can't make it to a gathering, your deputy or medicine cat will cover for you. If they aren't able to cover, the gathering would be cancelled. If all three ranks are inactive for several RP events, you will possibly get replaced.
A note on the scenarios: we're not looking for anyone who would make specific decisions, we're testing your knowledge and experience with the role, so don't feel like you have to make your character do "the right thing", show your characters true personality while also showing you know how to act as the role you're applying for. If we're looking for a specific type of character for a role with the purpose of helping a future plot, there will be a notice.
Life is more important than a RP group, so we perfectly understand if you can't be active 24/7 or a lot of the time. But please try and be active while being a high rank, especially leaders. People are usually active if higher ranks are as well, so it is important for HRs to be on quite regularly. Similar to the other members, don't forget to post an absence if you can't be active for a time.
>> Attend Gatherings and Events
Although as of [opening date] due to plot reasons we don't have gatherings, when we do, please attend or let your deputy or medicine cat know you won't be able to make it to ensure that someone will be able to substitute for you. I don't want to skip too many gatherings, and I want to avoid having any warriors of the clan substitute. If there's a consistent absence of all/any HRs you may be booted from your position. If the schedule doesn't fit for you and many others, let the staff team know and we may be able to adjust. Also, similarly to activity, people usually attend events n' such when HRs are active there as well.
>> Keep the RP a nice place to be
This means to de-escalate situations, make sure things are interesting and fun but not too out of hand.

Leader Scenario #1
You're in the middle of a gathering when a(n) known/unknown cat interrupts, yowling about some emergency that is allegedly happening. The attending cats go into hysterics not knowing what to do about the situation, and nobody is listening to deputies or medicine cats. Starclan doesn't even cover the moon with clouds, not making an effort to prove or disprove the cats claim.
Leader Scenario #2
Instead of coming directly to you with their worries, your clan starts to criticize your leadership with their clanmates, worrying that your actions is sabotaging the safety of the clan. You only find out by overhearing a conversation between a cranky elder and an apprentice, seemingly trying to put their opinions on a younger mind. (You can also change this into two warriors if you want to.)
Deputy Scenario #1
You are arranging patrols when you start hearing fighting by the apprentice den, something that seems more than a silly little spar. When you get there, you see one of your apprentices heavily injured by the other, very plainly standing their with their claws unsheathed. Neither apprentice seems keen on telling you what happened or why it got to that point.
Deputy Scenario #2
DEPUTY OVERHEARS EVIL PLAN FROM LEADER
Medicine Cat Apprentice Scenario #1
The medicine cat is out searching for herbs when a heavily injured warrior hobbles into the medicine den, seeking help. The cat is clawed up, and their front leg seems to be broken.
What this essentially means is that a deputy can be chosen by the leaders so long as the person desired is notified beforehand and is proven to wanting to be the role. If you want to be a deputy, you can prove a characters dedication to be the role and notify the leader that you are okay with being one.
