Maybe? I don't really like the ones I have, so I may add it to earth-y ones as well or something. I have -flight, -wing, -feather, -talon, -bird. The suffixes will be the most common. If they suggest a warrior name that fits with the family the cat is in, I'm good with letting them have it.

{ ooc }Hmm, I like the ones you have written. Hmm could -call be one, or is that pleh? I also think adding earth-y suffixs would be good too X3.

➤ [Tag] | Spirit or bun but it doesn't matter ● Helper - I can read code, or atleast find my way through code, i'm not too good with coding graphics but i am learning. ● Thunderclan, Riverclan, Shadowclan ● I've made so many, I currently have a tribe called the tribe of endless nights, I own a clan named Roseclan, I've ran a about 5 sucessful clans, but on the ld forums. ● I get on whenever I can, which is everyday for hours on end... But I am currently take a slight break from the forms, meaning I wont be on as much for the next two weeks. I'll be on mostly everyday when my bf is not home. ● umm north western, i have no idea I live in ak so i think its UTC: 09:00 ● Role-play Sample: Plumfeather stared in horror at what lay in front of her, her heart was pounding in her chest, the she cat started to panic. Oh no what have I done. She thought to herself as she figured out what she would do next, there was so much blood everywhere. She shook her head, unable to shake off the fear and panic she felt. Plum feather's breathe started to get heavy and she started to hyperventilate, Breathe Plumfeather, just breathe. She thought again as she took a deep breathe, she took a moment to gather herself trying to push the horrid images and feelings that were rushing through her body, the she cat was on edge, paranoid someone might see her. She padded closer to the body that was laying on the ground, she looked towards the stomach clenching cliff and slowly started to roll the body towards the edge, she looked down at the snow and saw that blood covered the pure white ground. She growled and gave one final push, watching the body fall down a cliff into the darkness below. After it was done, she started to break out in intense trembles, unable to stop her shaking body, her stomach churned and the she cat hurled. She got up, her wounds stinging her as she tried to hide the blood. I'll just say I was attacked, yeah that's it. She thought right before her vision got blurry and she satrted to feel light headed, the world started to turn black and soon the she cat was laying in the snow pasted out.
Plumfeather a woke to darkness, but familiar scents surrounded her, the tangy scent of herbs danced around her and she figured she was in the medicine cat den, she lay in her nest thinking. Was it all a dream? She thought until she felt cobwebs covering her flank and legs; and realized it wasn't a dream. Dread start to fill her gut and it felt like she was going to hurl again, She took a few deep breathes and exhaled. She froze when she heard rustling from the entrance, she froze as panic started to once again rushing through her body, "He-hello?" She peered into the darkness but couldn't see anyone except for a pair of yellow eyes, The mysterious figure smirked showing bright white fangs. "I know what you did Plumfeather." it mewed. Although it's scent was unrecognizable
Plumfeathers eyes got wide and she gasped, "I didn't...mean to..." She paused, "He attacked me, f-first." She stuttered, sitting up she clenched her jaw and winced at the pain. She stared into the yellow eyes and started to plead, "Please don't tell anyone, I'll... do anything y-you want." She mewed in defeat, The voice gave an evil laugh and then mewed, "Excellent."
Something wrenched open her mouth and she felt poppy seeds slide down her throat, She fell back into the nest and screamed silently as she went into a deep sleep. [ SAVE FOR ROLEPLAY SAMPLE ] ● Yes I do.

I think the bird related suffixes are fine especially since their symbol is the Eagle. Earthy ones would work too. Other suffixes could also be those related to bravery, strength, or fighting such as claw (what you mention before), jaw, blaze, or roar. Hey Spirit. Rain will get to you soon.

I will add this below so you can view what ideas I had about some ceremonies. I will have names label next to these, but feel free to change them to whatever you like. I just like giving names as it can help me envision how the ceremony might go.
Spring Ceremonies
• Rebirth – Spring is a time for new life and rebirth. Plants tend to represent this well. As such, the clan has made it a tradition to pick off petals and leaves from various plants and flowers and release them into the water to watch them float away. The clan feels that just like these plants, they will be reborn once more and start a new generation for many moons. They release them into the water due to water also representing life and adaptability.
• Color Festival – In celebration to the new season, Spring tends to be regarded as rather colorful. As such, cats often enjoy decorating the camp with colorful items including themselves. These can range from flowers and berries to shells and feathers. It is common to use smashed up berries to paint markings and patterns on the dens or even on themselves. There also tends to be a treasure hunt where cats will hide some of these items and the others will look for them. Those that find these items tend to be able to keep them or at least have bragging rights.
Winter Ceremonies
• Sombrance – Winter tends to represent death. The clan understands that losing love ones and comrades is a hard blow to deal with, but they also wish to celebrate their time when they were with them. As such, the clan dedicates a day where the clan shares memories and celebrate with their love ones. They believe that during this time, their love ones are with them dancing about and watching over them.
Miscellaneous
These are other traditions that don't fit to any category. I imagine these will be other events such as games and contest that can fit into any of the main season traditions.
• Kit Blessing – Kits, no matter what lineage they come from, are precious and therefore the clan wishes to celebrate and welcome their arrival. It is typically the head of the family that announces to the clan about the new kits and how they hope for the others to bless the kits and parents for a new generation. The clan tends to bow in silence as the head applies a few smashed up berries onto the kits’ back. It is considered rude to not participate in the ceremony as you are cursing the kits and being disrespectful to the new family. It is also seen as a bad omen for the kits not to be coated with some crushed berries. After that, the clan goes back to what they are doing, and some do tend to give the parents’ gifts that they can later give to their kits if they wish. The berries are safe enough to place on the kits and for the parents to lick off once the ceremony is over.
• Naming Ceremony – I imagine this would tie closely with the kit blessing ceremony. I believe that this would happen before the kits are blessed. An idea I thought might be cool was that for one moon (maybe two moons) the kits do not go by _kit. This is because the kits must at least survive a moon before the clan feels comfortable enough to give them their full names. Life in a clan can be hard, and it is important that the next generation is strong enough to handle this lifestyle. Of course, this does not stop kits from dying before they reach apprentice age, but the clan still feel it is an important ceremony. The kits are given their prefixes and if they survive the leader(s) or family heads will officially give out their kit names. For example, let’s say that a couple named Cloudchaser and Dawnleap have a litter of two kits. One is a white tom and the other is a ginger she-kit. Until the kits survive for at least one moon (or two if we use that), they are referred to what their parents have decided to name them; in this case it would be Egret and Cardinal. Once they pass their survival test, they are given their full titles of Egretkit and Cardinalkit. If one or both of the kits do not survive before their first or second moon, they will not be given their kit names and will forever be called Egret and Cardinal.

{ ooc }The idea's you have down are amazing, I thought of one for Autumn like a harvest cermony. They honor the seasons changing and give thanks they have such as an abundance of prey or blessings.

Thanks! Oooo I really love that idea! I had a lot of trouble coming up with something for Autumn, but I feel that works. A possible idea with summer was having some sort of olympics, but I could also see that being more of a contest that they could do in any season. My reasoning was that it could show passion and be something fun for the clan to do (or not if your cat isn't the athletic type.) I also had an interesting game that could be a common thing for any season (well might be a little hard in Winter). So basically the clan would collect berries and smash them together. Aside from having little paintings (mainly being making a bunch of marks on rocks and other objects or on each other) they could also use it for a game. The game could be a strange game of tag where someone is "it" and must tag someone else. At the same time, there would be a mini competition on seeing who can get as much berries on each other as possible. I imagine it would be quite chaotic and messy as cats tag each other and keep getting berry juice on themselves. The berries would be safe enough for everyone to use including kits. I guess a default name for this would be Berry Tag.

I apologize, Spirited, but I'm going to have to deny you. I had looked back at past post and they aren't up to par with the one you submitted. I also saw your form before you edited it. If you did read the rules, you would have seen that I wrote in that there would only be one admin and indirectly apologized to Spirit about it. You wouldn't have put in that you would like to be an admin, but a helper is fine. If anything, you would have questioned it. I did edit the front page and put in the updated form template and you did change your form to match, so I will give you that.

Replies I like the ideas so far. Do we have any specific time they would do these? Like dawn for the spring tradition. As for the harvest, I like it, but I think it should be held on the first day of autumn. They would have enough prey for the feast and it'd be more of "be thankful for this because you gonna starve in a few weeks." I also think it'd be great for collecting supplies like herbs and other things to make it more of a harvest than hunt. I also like the idea of the contest in the summer. It could be family based or something. We could have the paint for ceremonies and special occasions. We can take that a step further and maybe have feathers or something put in their fur to celebrate milestones in their life. Maybe the leaders have a little crown made of twigs, feathers, bones, and flowers?

Hmm… well the “Rebirth” ceremony I imagine would take place on the first day of Spring and it would probably take place somewhere in the late morning. As for the color festival, it could be held on the first of spring or another day. I am not too sure what that day would be. However, it could take place in the evening. As for the Sombrance one, I imagine this would be held on the night of a full moon. So, these days will vary since it entirely depends on when the full moon is out. I like the idea of the harvest in that sense. It would also make sense since they want to be prepare for Winter and this seems like a good way of doing it. As for the contest, I guess that could be the official Summer event, and I see it being family-based so the teams would be the official families. It could also be bragging rights for the family that scores the best. I like the idea of the paint being used for ceremonies and special occasions as well as using feathers and other items being milestones in their life. There could be an official family heirloom that represents different things. These heirlooms I see are: feathers from the Eagle family, animal bones from the Squirrel family, antlers or something else related to the deer from the Fawn family, a particular kind of flower (I am thinking moonflowers if we have them grow around the territory) from the Rabbit family, and different animal furs from the Owl family. We can always change them if we use this item. I love the idea of leaders having a crown. I think this crown should include the family heirlooms. I think it is important to use something that would help this crown stick together and a good solution to this would be honey. We can still use twigs to help form a baseline to hold the other items on.

The family under Winter are similar to Autumn, but they find prey in hard to reach areas. They have a great sense of smell and help the hunting patrols find prey when winter comes.
I wanted to give out a suggestion that might help Winter stand out more from Autumn. Aside from being able to look for prey in hard places and having a great scent of smell, what if they are the ones that also could scout? They could be quite stealthy and use this stealth to be able to gather intel on surrounding places and enemies. Therefore they help the other families with their own tasks such as patterns in prey movement, changes in the environment, tracking down an enemy or predator, etc. These cats could also be the ones that are send on some risky missions as they might be send out onto enemy land to relay information or even becoming spies. If they are trained to fight, they might be equivelant of assassins too. For some reason this didn't show up. Anyway here are some more ceremonies. Another one I wanted to add was some Rite of Passage where the council and leaders would test apprentices to see if they have earn the right to become their chosen path. The task would be related to the rank in some way and sometimes it does tie in with the family theme the cat is from. The higher ups will attempt to make sure these tasks are challenging enough as they want to see the apprentice display their teachings in full. An example of this is that a group of apprentices will compete against specific cats that the higher ups have chosen. These opponents could have skillsets that will test the apprentices differently. They will be judge based on teamwork, cleverness, and battle skills. The issue I am having with this idea is I feel it might be too vague with the tasks. It basically feels like the higher ups will have to come up with something exciting and challenging every single time an apprentice is testing to graduate. So while I like this idea, I don't want it to become too complicated and confusing. Then there is the fact that I could create specific tasks, but what those tasks could be I am not sure. The only thing I do know is that once an apprentice graduates and earns their full name, there could be some famous landmark where the cat imprints their paw onto it using crushed berries as paint. It would be considered an important ceremony as many tend to feel connected to their ancestors and some claim that they can hear the whispers of them cheering them on. It also show just how far Fawnclan has come after generations and generations of pawprints have been painted onto this ancient landmark. If I come up with more ceremonies, I will be sure to post them. Miscellaneous These are other traditions that don't fit to any category. I imagine these will be other events such as games and contest that can fit into any of the main season traditions. • Kit Blessing – Kits, no matter what lineage they come from, are precious and therefore the clan wishes to celebrate and welcome their arrival.

So, I'm going to give you guys a little update and explanation. I haven't exactly been active on here and it really comes down to one thing: my mental health. Like a lot of people on the forums, I have depression. It can really mess up a lot of things for me like eating properly and my sleep schedule. I know for sure my sleep schedule is messed up and hopefully I had fixed that. As for when I come on and off and haven't finished ideas, it's because I can't focus when I'm in a really bad state. I was in it yesterday and I feel bad about it now because I worried a few people. Right now, I'm okay, I'm not the best I can be, but I'm nowhere where I was yesterday.

Rain, I appreciate the time you took to tell us that. I am glad you are doing okay, but don't feel pressure about constantly coming on the forums if you are not feeling it. I would much rather you focus on your health and well-being versus attempting to force yourself to come up with more ideas for Fawnclan.

I think it is important to use something that would help this crown stick together and a good solution to this would be honey. We can still use twigs to help form a baseline to hold the other items on. I had drawn the crown before I saw this. It would be held by twigs and I imagine a mouse skull would be the centerpiece with feathers of a bird associated with the season along with special flowers. I feel like honey would be easily washed off in rain.
What we could do is come up with a combination of herbs that are "supposedly" a permanent bonding liquid. This could be used for the crown, flowers, and other items used. I see prey bones of all kinds being used, maybe even as piercings since we're going this far. As for the heirlooms, I feel like we need to come up with something really unique. We can use the Spirits as an excuse if the item may not be found in that kind of area, and we haven't touched upon territory much yet, so I have plenty of ideas of what they haven't even explored yet.
Now, I do like the ideas of the feathers, bones, flowers, and furs. We can even make the families experts in collecting the items.
As for the Owl family be assassins/scouts, I'm not sure we could have that yet. Tracking is had enough and if anything, I'd rather give Spring that ability over one that has a set ability. It would also make an interesting contrast. At the same time, I don't see why they would be needed for dangerous missions when they can send in members of the Eagle Family because they're literally brute strength. What we could do is develop this idea after the plots I had in mind, because then it would make more sense.

1 & 2. That is true. I did not think about the honey being washed away so easily. The herbs would work better depending on what we use. Ah, nevermind then! I think that would be a simple, but cute design for the crown. As for the heirlooms, now that I think about it, we can come up with something more unique. I also do agree that if they could not find their respective items, they would use the Spirits as an excuse. It probably would help if we started developing the territory before we worry about things like heirlooms.
3. I do like the idea of having the families being experts in those fields! It adds something else to them almost like a family business expect without the business part to them.
4. In regards to the dangerous missions, my idea wasn’t that they would be the ones fighting. As you said, they could send the Eagle family for that. It was more of an undercover situation, and they must use their wit to attempt to deceive the enemy and gather intel. If they did fight, they would rather ambush the enemy and end the fight as quickly as possible.
However that being said, I could understand what you mean with Spring. Aside from it being an interesting contrast, they appear to be more of a knowledge-based family (with them teaching about life and all) and tend to understand herbs the most. They also seem to show a lot more variation so I could see some members being willing to do this. Therefore, they could use these traits at their disposal, but that does leave me a slight concern.
Although while I do like the idea of giving the assassin part to Spring, I am still conflicted with the scouting part. Tracking is hard, but I am afraid that with Winter and Autumn being similar in tasks that Winter will be overlook more. I feel this way because why bring in a bunch of cats from the Winter family when Autumn family can hunt as well? Not only that, but Autumn cats are known for their swimming too. I am sure they can bring in seafood since I imagine they train for it. So unless it is winter (since they seem to excel best there) or they are needed to locate hard to find prey, then Winter might end up waiting around for their time to shine. At least with scouting, it could tie in well with their tracking skills and they can bring more to the table such as scouting the land for changes (like determining if the foxes are out and about, prey movements, etc.) and informing the others about this. If they did do anything dangerous, I imagine they would rely more on their speed versus their strength.
Aside from that, I am willing to develop this later especially if it would make more sense after the plots.

I'm on mobile. I don't see any mention of the idea I had where the names are like ancients. Taking your idea, Chibi, we could expand it to where they only get the suffix When they are six moons and begin training. However, I think there could be an exception. Adding another family would complicate things and it's just better to have them mingled with the families instead. In Game of Thrones, they have special names for illegitimate children. The most known is Jon Snow. I was thinking that it would be interesting to apply this to FawnClan, as it would create drama with some cats not loving their assigned mate. Each family would have two to three suffixes for the illegitimate children. Since there would be about two or three, they would still to through the assessment. I also think that if a warrior becomes disgraced, they are renamed and given one of these suffixes. If one parent is considered disgraced or illegitimate, their new offspring will be as well. If they had kits before they were disgraced, those kits will be fine. Now you can be legitimized or given back your old name of you did something heroic or it turns out you were wronged in the name.

That is something new that I do not see many roleplays doing. I really do like that idea!
