Awesome! Are you okay with the clan name, or do you think it should be something else?

Quartz Clan is fine. I honestly had a little idea due to it being Quartz.

So I was thinking like the cats would live by gems. I was thinking like the cats could have/wear gems to symbolize their personality/spirit/strengths and weaknesses. At the end of apprenticeship, apprentices would be taken to(we'll call it the cave of stones for now) to choose their gem. During this the cat will already know what their destined gem would be. It would be like a calling. And they'd have to live with their chosen gem for, like, ever. But wait, there's more. Maybe the gems could all come in different colors? Maybe the color could be the personality part of the gem and the gem itself would be the strengths/weaknesses/spirit?
And cats born with Quartz could be super rare/respected? Maybe these cats are usually leaders or medicine cats? And maybe the certain colors that the gems come in could also be more respected than other colors?
It isn't exactly power based, but it seemed pretty cool. If we go with this for the Clan I'd gladly post all the possible choices for gems/colors since I have been studying gemstones o3o.

The sounds amazing, actually. And as for powers, since I do want to incorporate those somewhere, maybe they would dictate the colors of the gems? Like, for example, a psychic cat might have a purple gem, but the type would be based on their strengths/weaknesses?
Also, quartz being really rare is a fantastic idea. Maybe it'd be reserved for cats that have rare powers, or leaders like you said?

Post by a diamond's pearl on Feb 17, 2017 19:10:36 GMT -5
Yeah. That's fine. From my knowledge a psychic cat would be perfect for a purple gem because in reality, Amythest are known as healing gems so maybe that'd be another rare color/power/ or gem.

Would you mind typing up a few of the gems you were thinking of including? I just need a general idea to link the powers to the gems.

These could be considered the rarest gemstones for cats to have. Usually chosen by medicine cats or future leaders/leaders. So maybe they will have a rare power.

I'm kind of thinking of changing up the whole power idea.. honestly I find the appeal of gems much greater now that I think about it, and it's such a unique and interesting idea. I'm worried that if we include powers and gems, then the rp will be too specific to appeal to a greater amount of forumers. It depends though, what do you think?

Post by a diamond's pearl on Feb 17, 2017 22:53:37 GMT -5
I'm fine with the whole gem idea. If you don't want to do the powers anymore that's just fine with me. Though I do agree, the concept of having the gems and powers seems a bit much.

Post by needleflight on Feb 17, 2017 22:56:36 GMT -5
Perfect. Gems it is then! I think I'm going to work on the landmark that the cats will use to receive their gem, as well as what the colors represent about the cat.

Alrighty then. I'll have the rest of the gems/stones in a minute.

That looks amazing! If you want I could start on possible history or little things like joining form or about.

Post by needleflight on Feb 18, 2017 13:16:00 GMT -5
You can work on whatever you'd like! In the history though, I'd include something about the founder of the clan, probably someone named Quartzstar. The Quartz bloodline thing that I mentioned in the gem description are just descendants of the first leader.

Sure thing. This is way off topic, but do you know which ranks/gems or stones you'd like to claim? I have already got my characters and their chosen gemstones saved on my computer.

Post by needleflight on Feb 18, 2017 18:45:50 GMT -5
Hmm. I think I'll probably take the leader position, unless you'd like to have it, as well as a few warriors and apprentices. My gemstones will be rainbow quartz for the leader, and probably pearl/opal/sodalite/fluorite/morganite for my other cats.

Post by a diamond's pearl on Feb 18, 2017 18:52:53 GMT -5
No your fine, I wanted the medicine cat position. And I decided to use the malachite, maybe rose quartz for my medicine cat but idk, snowflake obsidian, peridot, sapphire, and pearl.

Joining form ideas:
Cat Name // Gender // Age // Gem Type // Sexuality Physical and mental appearance(History is optional) Rank Other Screen name with tag
Cats name ❂ Gender(♂ or ♀)❂ Gemstone type(Maybe we could add a color code to all the gems?) Appearance and personality goes here. Any History is optional. Does your cat have any family? Crush? Mate? Kits? Former Mate? Tagged username here Codeword(Maybe?)
(Would LGBT+ cats be allowed?)

I really like the first one. It's short and sweet, and has enough information.
And yes, of course LGBTQ+ would be allowed ^^

I'm worried that if we include powers and gems, then the rp will be too specific to appeal to a greater amount of forumers. It depends though, what do you think? Ooc: I love the idea of the clan but when i read that you guys were thinking about adding powers i frowned cause I'm not a huge power rp roleplayer.. i really like the idea of the medicine cats and leaders the only ones that have powers, but i also like that the gems relate to the cats personality, I now that gems have like magical properties but if you guys were to use powers i would use the properties that the crystals have already, like how amethyst has healing properties

Yeah, all gems have magical properties. Its said that every gem helps people out mentally or physically. Like, some gems are said to give you psychic powers if you wear them around, some are said to help fever, and I think there's one wear if you sleep with it it'll give you good dreams. But there's a variety of different was gems actually help you that people don't know about but idk, maybe we can fit this in the roleplay somehow.

Post by needleflight on Feb 19, 2017 12:26:07 GMT -5
As for the powers, I'm pretty sure we're getting rid of those because the roleplay would be too specific, but the magical properties of gems are still staying. And Spirited, you can claim any position that's open if you'd like!
