Welcome to The Barn!
The Barn is an anti-clan that, quite obviously, lives in a barn. they let their cats believe in Starclan, or The Tribe that Hunts Above, but nobody has to.
there are multiple positions, but anyone can (and probably will) do anything if they are short on members. these positions are also very similar to normal clans.
a quick description of the positions:
Leader: The Leader is the one who leads the Barn. anything the Leader says goes, however, the Doctor, Hunter, and Guard can overthrow the leader if they believe he/she is abusing power. the Doctor, Guard or Hunter would then become the new leader, (Usually either the Hunter or Guard).
Doctor: the Doctor is their Medicine cat. he/she takes care of the cats, and makes the decisions if the Leader is not well enough to act as Leader.
Doctor's Apprentice: This cat is the medicine cat's apprentice, learning anything of the trade. Becomes a Doctor if the First Doctor dies, or when the First Doctor instates them as a Doctor.
Hunter: Leader of the Gatherers, he/she is the most Senior, or the best. this position is very similar to 'deputy' in a normal clan.
Guard: He/she is the leader of the Warriors, and also responsible for the Leader's safety. again, very similar to a deputy.
Gatherers: Gatherers are the food gatherers, who pick fruits and berries, as well as catch animals to eat.
Warriors: Warriors are the fighters. they defend the clan from invaders, as well as settle disputes within the clan. they are usually very loyal to the Guard.
Mothers: Mothers are a necessity. they're the ones who birth the kits. they usually lay in the nursery, being tended to by the Doctor.
Apprentices: Cats who are older than 6 moons, learning a trade. they usually are apprentices for about 6 moons, and must pass a test to prove themselves.
Pickers: Pickers are the Gatherers' apprentices.
Fighters: Fighters are the Warriors' apprentices.
Kits: Kittens are the just-born cats, who aren't yet 6 moons old.
Current positions held: Blue is Male, Pink is Female.
Leader: Open
Doctor: Silentfoot-Spudbob
Guard: Nightwave-Magnus/Civet
Hunter: Open
Doctor Apprentice: Delilah-Buecomet
Warriors: None
Fighters: None
Gatherers: Cave (where Bears Rest)-Bluecomet
Pickers: None
Mothers: None
Kits: None
To be introduced at a later time: Sunflower-Spudbob, Blood (that spills from the fallen)-Bluecomet
There are various levels to the Barn.
Ground floor: there is a small entrance from the broken hole in the door. Right next to the entrance is where the Warriors sleep. just past that is where the Gatherers sleep. at the end of the hall is the nursery, where Mothers lay. and right next to the Nursery is the Doctor's Den, where the doctor and his patients sleep, under the staircase.
2nd level: the staircase leads to the second floor, where you will find the apprentices sleeping. at the other end of the hall, by the only window, is the Leader's den, with the Guard's den nearby. a small staircase leads to the Loft, where the Doctor keeps his herbs.

Silentfoot (my character)
Name:
"My name is Silentfoot, for good reason."
Age:
"I am almost 25 moons old."
Gender:
"I am male."
Appearance: Silentfoot is a somewhat small common black house cat, with unusual golden eyes.
Personality: He can be described as cold, but he truly cares for all down inside. he is efficient, and very patient. however, his troubled past can be a touchy subject, and anybody who might ask for his story would probably get cut off, with a cold remark. if he's pressured, he might attack. he can fight, but he doesn't fight well.
Starclan, Tribe that hunts Above, or Anti? "I... don't know." he is quite close to Starclan, but chooses to ally himself with more anti-clan cats. maybe to get away from his heritage a little?
History:
"nothing to concern yourself with." He comes from a small clan known as Sneakclan. his Mother, Darknight, died in birthing, and his father, Quietstar, wanted the young kit to be the leader, but the kit took an interest in herbs instead. he was, rarely enough, an only kit. so, he played with his cousin, another only kit. her name was Sunkit, soon to be Sunflower. she would become a warrior, much like her father, the deputy. however, the deputy rebelled against Quietstar, creating Rebelclan. their leader, Rebelstar, Sunflower's father, was ruthless, and the clans were at war for many moons. Silentfoot, now a full-fledged medicine cat, had taught his cousin the essence of herbs, and they took care of the cats in their respective clans, often trying to meet each other every few moons or so. Silentfoot then left the clans, knowing there might be a way to stop the war. Sunflower, his cousin and lover, was heartbroken, and has followed after. He arrived at the Barn in a stormy night, somehow luckily appearing during a greencough exposure that left most of the members sick, and unable to do work. he used his knowledge to heal the cats, and was accepted as their Doctor, a position he was forced into.
Kin (family):
Quietstar (Father), Darknight (Mother), Rebelstar (Uncle, Quietstar's younger brother), Sunflower (cousin)
Crush and/or Partner: He has a crush on Sunflower.
Rank: "I'm the Doctor." (XD Dr Who anyone?)
Other:
Name: "Why, I'm sunflower."
Age:
"I'm 20 moons, a little younger than Silentfoot."
Gender:
"I'm female, thank you very much."
Appearance:
Sunflower is a golden yellow she-cat with black spots (like seeds) over her pelt.
Personality:
she is very outgoing, a sunny personality to Silentfoot's almost night-like coldness. She believes fully in Starclan.
History:
After Silentfoot left, she believed she had a vision. she taught a few kits medicine, then left after him.
Kin (family):
again, silentfoot's family.
Rank:
she will be a warrior.
Other: her vision: she thinks she saw a black cat (whom she thinks is Silentfoot) heading into Starclan, without looking back at her. (this will be a different cat, not Silentfoot.)
