FCU is a casual warrior cats roleplaying group, originally started in 2014! We allow illiterate, semi-lit, & literate roleplay! We loosely keep to book/IRL accuracy, & allow IRL cat references as well as OC art! As a casual server, we don't enforce any rules on how active a member needs to be, or how often they roleplay their OCs.

4.1) If a staff member is violating a rule and you feel it's not being handled properly, please contact the server owner!

Roleplay Rules
1.) Keep all roleplay appropriate. There are lots of ways to have interesting roleplay without certain content.
1.1) Do not roleplay sex or have your OCs talk about sex. Discussion of having kits is enough.
1.2) No rping/implying cannibalism, incest, grooming, self-harm, suicide, sexual harassment, sexual assault, or rape at all. This includes backstory mentions.
1.3) Gore is okay in relation to the books. If you think it could upset someone, please spoiler it by putting || on either side of the message!

Things to remember!
1.) Your OCs can age as fast or as slow as you would like them to!
2.) We are not super strict on naming. Prefix repeats are okay, all that we ask is no full name doubles (Example; Wolfspider and Wolfnose are both acceptable, but if two ocs were named Wolfnose, we'd ask the user who used the name last to change their OCs suffix.)
3.) If you're confused on what a channel is for, check the channel description! Most of the channels have a relevant description to help you out. If you're still confused, you can DM a Staff member!
