oo, you can shoot the religion ideas at me! all i have is a bunch of potential places that the clan could be based, because i love the idea of clans being in places like national parks and places that already exist but the cats have no idea what it all is ;0 i can list a couple if you want !!

so there's this pretty popular game called Dishonored. I played the first one as soon as it came out and have beaten it multiple times since. Dishonored 2 just recently came out and I have yet to play it because my laptop is crap, however I have watched an entire playthrough of it. The deity for the occult in the Dishonored world is called The Outsider. Here's a little information piece on him: The Outsider. I was thinking that they could have a deity kind of like him. the other idea is that they have Native American gods. we could either create them or they could live in a location that corresponds with a certain tribe and we can use their gods. go ahead and list them o: also maybe you could help me create the world for my novel lol

aah I can't decide which of the parks I like best... Big Cypress is really cool but I love river clans

here are some ideas: - Big Cypress. the cats follow either the local Native American religion or have their own, where the main god was a panther who established the clan.
- Great Basin. the cats follow either the local Native American religion or we can create a special pantheon of gods for them. the camp is located in the Lehman Caves.

i like the great basin and lehman caves idea!! especially with how the inside of the caves almost looks sculpted, that could easily be something they see as godly? the territory in general has a huge range of prey and stuff as well, maybe even enough for two clans?

alright, the queen has returned cx I like the Lehman Caves idea a lot and so do you, so let's go with that o: maybe there's a tribe as well as a clan?

mm, that sounds good!! it seems like you have a lot of religion ideas and stuff, so if you have those then i'm sure those are better then i could do at the moment. i could maybe sketch out a map/territory based off of the pictures? i'm probably gonna head off soon but i should be back sometime tomorrow!

that'd be awesome! if there are any odd, extremely noticeable things you could make it some special site o: I'm going to look up the tribes that lived in that area and then their (known) gods

okay, we're definitely going to have to make our own set of gods. we'll collab on it tomorrow

Post by wildsongπ§ on Jan 2, 2017 8:28:11 GMT -5
that's fine!! i'm mapping their stuff out right now! there are a lot of different animals and plants in that general area too. the cats would have more prey and predators, which also means they could have unique suffixes and stuff. we might also need a list to put on our front page, which i can do as well!!

alright so, i have this!!
sorry for my crappy handwriting notes haha, but this is a basic idea for the camp i guess? the only way to get into the caves is through a door and a hallway in real life, so i just said for this, theres a hole somewhere in the back for them to crawl out of. that whole area they're in is well hidden, because if people saw that many cats living in these caves they'd flip out. if anything is unclear i can fix it ;0

Agh, it looks wonderful! Thank you! I was also considering last night whether or not to make it a claim-a-cat clan... But before we decide that we should work on the gods and the plot

Post by wildsongπ§ on Jan 2, 2017 12:07:14 GMT -5
oo i was actually just thinking the same thing when i was drawing that!! although yeah, a plot would make it easier to figure out. i'm also trying to make a map of the forest and lake,, and this is all like helping my drawing at the same time so i can sketch out whatever ideas we have aaa

awesome! so let's start with the gods, because I do want them to be a big part of the plot. it seems like in most Native American religions that the gods are spirits taking on the forms of animals, such as wolves, deer, buffalo, etc. let's get a list of wildlife in the Great Basin area and go from there

alright!! i have a few worthy of mentions~ -jackrabbits -stoat -mountain sheep -hawks/eagles/owls -elk -pronghorns -badgers

Post by β πππ πππππ-πππππ on Jan 2, 2017 14:21:10 GMT -5
alright, here's a few ideas
jackrabbit - god of swift running hawk/eagle/owl - goddess of wisdom and foresight elk - god of family/kin badgers - goddess of protection
I don't know what we could do with the stoat or mountain sheep
|
|
|
Post by wildsongπ§ on Jan 2, 2017 14:33:11 GMT -5
all those work! the stoat could be something with aggression maybe, almost like the opposite of the badger? i was also thinking maybe a hunter/guard system for the warriors, almost like tribes? hunters look to to the rabbit, guards to the badgers. although i never liked the specific hunter/guard idea with being stuck with one for their whole life, but each cat is trained in more one then the other. i also like having multiple medicine cats in one clan??

the stoat could be the god of, like, battle prowess or something yeah, I think that's a good idea. one of my old clans, BasinClan, had a system like that except there were four categories: hunters, trackers, scouts, and fighters multiple medicine cats is definitely good but I think there should be one head medicine cat, and maybe they can have a stronger connection to StarClan and the gods as opposed to the others
|

Post by wildsongπ§ on Jan 2, 2017 15:52:33 GMT -5
yeah,, that all makes sense! i mean if there was a rank for each one of the gods that could be cool? and definitely yes for the head medicine cat i've also likes the system where theres multiple deputies? i don't know if you do, but warriors/guards/whatever kind of get ranked up into a group after the medicine cat and leader decide, so the roles of 'deputy' are split among a couple cats. and since these cats are mature, when the leader dies they and the medicine cats elect a new one from that group.

alright so i didnt base it off of a real map but
i was thinking there could be a trail hidden by trees nd stuff down to the lake and whatever and the stars are places where landmarks or something could go, to make it more interesting idk. when we make our page it'll probably be easier to put real pictures along with maps on it

sorry for the poof, I was having dinner, making dessert, and doing laundry x-x yeah, that's a good idea. maybe each medicine cat is trained in a specific form of medicine (birthing, fighting wounds, etc) and then the head medicine cat knows all I did that in BasinClan but instead of calling them deputies I called them head-insert rank name here and then there was a main deputy of the clan
