THUNDERCLAN DEPUTY INTEREST CHECK
As you all know, Flycatcher has stepped down as deputy, and soon Howlingstar will be announcing his step-down to the clan. The code for choosing a deputy before moonhigh has not been implemented yet so our leader is in no rush to select her next successor. She will be thinking hard about her choice, and so will I! If you are interested in holding this position, sign up below after reading everything.
WHAT I'M LOOKING FOR:
There are several factors that will help me to determine the next deputy of ThunderClan.
- IC Realism. Howlingstar is a cat that puts a lot of emphasis on tradition, honor, respect, and loyalty. It is most likely she would select a deputy that has shown her they value these things, too, at least outwardly. A cat who follows the Warrior Code and StarClan is more likely to be selected over a cat who breaks rules and shows disrespect to their superiors and clanmates. In addition, it is unlikely she would promote a brand new warrior who lacks experience; like mentors, a cat would need to be a warrior for at least a season to be considered.
- IC Activity. Consistent, high activity is definitely something I'm looking for. A deputy should be someone who can be trusted to be present month over month, so I'll be looking at activity that has spanned over several months. Only activity prior to this interest check will be noted, as it is well-known interest checks can boost muse.
- OOC Activity and Friendliness. The deputy is next in line to be leader and will be one of four HPs in the clan. This person should be someone who is active in the discord, talks to others in their channels, plots with the community, and above all is approachable and welcoming.
EXPECTATIONS:
The deputy will be expected to take on several IC and OOC tasks and will be held to high standards.
- IC Duties. See the Rank Guide for a description of this rank and all IC duties this character will be expected to undertake. I will teach the new deputy how patrols are done in ThunderClan, so don't stress about that!
- OOC Duties. See the above guide for this list, too. The deputy will be in charge of helping out around the discord and helping with clanwide plots.
- Remain Active. Slacking in activity won't fly with this rank. I totally understand IRL comes first, and I promise I'm super flexible - just communicate with me! If you can't remain active ICly or OOCly, you are at risk of demotion. Applying for deputy means you understand that.
- Be Prepared for Leadership. The deputy does not always become the next leader. You are open to many plots, such as stepping down, demotion, retiring, or even death - applying does not restrict you! However, if you hold the rank of deputy by the time Howlingstar dies/I step down, you are to be the next leader and you must be ready for that.
