NIGHTCLAN DEPUTY AUDITIONS!

The following is an in-character audition, so please answer the questions as your character to the best of your ability. Feel free to go all out and use dialogue in quotation marks, and to describe your character's facial expressions and body language as they answer. You can also just use dialogue to make it less time-consuming to fill out. Good luck, and thank you for your interest!

Requirements: Auditions are preferably no younger than thirty moons. There's no preferable gender. Auditions have trained at least one apprentice. Auditions aren't knowingly half-Clan.

*Auditions need to be in by Friday, September 16th at the latest. Please get ahold of me via. PM if you require an extension.

"State your name and age, and tell me a little about yourself. Have you trained any apprentices in the time you've served NightClan? How strongly do you feel about your loyalties to NightClan?"

"How do you feel about cross-Clan relationships? If a NightClan queen was knowingly expecting a half-Clan litter, would you let them be raised in NightClan?"

"Under what circumstances, if any, do you think war is acceptable for our Clan? Do you condone prey-theft, border crossing, et cetera... if it's for the good of NightClan?"

"For argument's sake, a close friend confides in you that they haven't been feeling well, but refuses to seek out the medicine cat--they want you to keep this information between the two of you. Would you go against their wishes for their own safety? Where do you draw the line between your duties and your relationships?"

"Explain your relationship with StarClan. How much do you rely on StarClan's guidance? Would you go against a sign from StarClan if you personally felt it wouldn't unfold in NightClan's favour?"

"What do you think of me as a leader? Do you agree with the decisions I've made, or as my deputy, would you want to bring an element of change into the leadership of NightClan?"

I, [name of character], hereby promise I've answered the above questions to the best of my ability with the truth and nothing but the truth. If Dimstar finds out that I lied, and evicts me from my position as deputy should I receive it, I, [character name], solemnly swear to take no hostile action against him and to return to my warrior duties without complaint to spare him the grief of an emotional response of any kind.
Signed, [character name].

"State your name and age, and tell me a little about yourself. Have you trained any apprentices in the time you've served NightClan? How strongly do you feel about your loyalties to NightClan?"
"My name is Redcloud and I am 30 moons of age. I was born to Cherryfoot and Antfang, along with my sister Smallbreeze and I have trained one apprentice, now a warrior by the name of Snowstorm during my time as a warrior. I consider myself to be extremely loyal to Nightclan and most of my focus goes into helping the clan in some way. Sometimes I'll help out my clanmates by trying to solve a problem they have or listening to their troubles, other times I'll be doing some extra hunting to ensure my clan has enough food to eat. Whatever it takes to keep my clan safe and happy!"

"How do you feel about cross-Clan relationships? If a NightClan queen was knowingly expecting a half-Clan litter, would you let them be raised in NightClan?"
"Cross-clan relationships are a disgrace to the clan! If a Nightclan queen was knowingly expecting a half-clan litter, she and her kits would be out of the clan immediately! We don't need the impurity of another clan's blood weakening us and we most certainly do not need cats who are willing to bring such impurities into the clan."

"Under what circumstances, if any, do you think war is acceptable for our Clan? Do you condone prey-theft, border crossing, et cetera... if it's for the good of NightClan?"
"War is acceptable if it is needed. If there is no other option to be taken, or at least none that hurt the clan, then if war is a path we must walk then I would gladly walk it. Just as well, prey stealing and other actions the other clans might deem as less than acceptable are fine with me, provided they are only done for the good of Nightclan. Any senseless crossing of borders or stealing of prey from clans when we have plenty of prey for ourselves is an action that has potential to invoke unnecessary battles and could result in injury. Therefore, I believe that anyone who engages in these actions without good reason should be punished.."

"For argument's sake, a close friend confides in you that they haven't been feeling well, but refuses to seek out the medicine cat--they want you to keep this information between the two of you. Would you go against their wishes for their own safety? Where do you draw the line between your duties and your relationships?"
"I would certainly tell the medicine cat! If their health is on the line I won't hesitate to take action even if they asked me not to. If I can prevent an unnecessary death from happening in the end, I'll do it. Said cat might be upset with me for telling, but they should know better than to keep such things a secret. I would draw a line between my duties and my relationships when someone's life is on the line ,when my clan is in danger or when someone is breaking the code."

"Explain your relationship with StarClan. How much do you rely on StarClan's guidance? Would you go against a sign from StarClan if you personally felt it wouldn't unfold in NightClan's favour?"
"I do believe in Starclan, but my relationship with them isn't terribly strong. I don't usually look to Starclan for guidance and I probably won't start doing that anytime soon. Should I receive a sign from Starclan that seems as though it wouldn't go well for Nightclan though, I would actively go against it. I see no need to follow a sign that would have potential negative effects on our clan."

"What do you think of me as a leader? Do you agree with the decisions I've made, or as my deputy, would you want to bring an element of change into the leadership of NightClan?"
"I feel that you are a wise leader. I've agreed with your decisions thus far and have yet to find too much fault in the way that you lead. As deputy, I would do everything in my power to maintain the current era of prosperity that the clan is enduring, and will continue to do so till the day that I die, regardless of whether I become leader or not."

I, Redcloud, hereby promise I've answered the above questions to the best of my ability with the truth and nothing but the truth. If Dimstar finds out that I lied, and evicts me from my position as deputy should I receive it, I, Redcloud, solemnly swear to take no hostile action against him and to return to my warrior duties without complaint to spare him the grief of an emotional response of any kind.
Signed, Redcloud.
