So a long time ago I came up with a Rogue to Clan RP (kinda like DOTC but different beginning). To start, I had a Gang of vicious cats ruling a twolegplace and basically savagely beating other cats into submission, whether or not they're doing anything wrong. One cat, Comet Runner, decides there was enough terrorizing and leads a rebellion against his leader and brother, Bone Shade. There's a bloody battle, but Comet Runner's followers are driven out and pursued by Bone Shade's forces. Eventually Comet's group finds a territory unclaimed, but Bone's group decides they want to claim the fertile, prey-rich grounds that were discovered, and enslave all other cats who lived there before. So the outcasts need to recruit all the rogues and kittypets around to fight for their freedom. We can begin from there, when Comets group have just arrived at the territory. I was thinking with four clans, three are good clans. Bones group becomes the fourth, but are Dark Forest worshippers and get nine lives from them, and instead of 'star', leaders get the 'shadow' suffix. Even if we're not doing actual clans yet, I'd like to get some help since it will come, and I'd like leaders and clans to be sorted out sooner than later.

I might have time to help especially closer to May 19 but I can help with any extra free time I have til then. Any help whenever you can would be awesome! Do you think you'd be active enough to lead a clan? Or some other high rank? If not, I still very much appreciate you're help ^ω^ also sorry for not responding sooner, I literally slept all day today (yesterday? Lol it's midnight for me now)

(I try to get on a least once a day. But I'm usually on three or four times a day. Weekends are tricky though. I could lead or do a high rank which ever is needed.

If you want to you can lead a clan :3 my two clans are CometClan, named after Comet Runner naturally, and ShadeClan named after Bone Shade. But both of their first leaders as official Clans are their kits (Raccoon Mask for Comet and Moss Fire for Shade). Comet and Bone both die before they're official, but their kits name the Clans in their honor. If you want to lead, you can name your clan after whichever cat is the first leader, or if something else happens that's significant. Up to you of course X3 I just want the names of the clans to have some sort of significance.

Okay. How does Oakclan sound? I have a cat whose warrior name is Oakbriar that I could make leader instead.

Sounds good to me :3
Oh, and in regards to the cats, not all of them have to have been in the original group. Some could be originally kittypets or rogues and loners who teamed up Comets group to stop Bones cats from a total takeover. When they split up into clans, I was thinking that there is a power struggle, since Comet Runner will be dead so nobody will know who should lead next. That's when it's agreed they will split into three clans. Bones group will come in again as their own clan, making four clans.

Sounds good. That should be a great way to incorporate some of my cats with names from a rainforest rp if you're okay with mom traditional names. I would say they were kittypets that the twoleg stole from their tropical home and they escaped.

Yeah sounds good! I plan to have the clans have the combined names later, since I see those names as a trademark clan thing and these cats started off without the clan traditions or beliefs. So later on Comet Runner and Bone Shade would be Cometrunner (Cometstar) and Boneshade (Dark Forest worshipper so no 'star' suffix. All leaders in his clan get 'shade' instead). Although those two won't because they'll die before that tradition is added, so those are just examples XD but the others who survive will get those types of names, and do the 'kit' and 'paw' suffixes too.
Lol I'm suffering from insomnia or something. I couldn't sleep last night even though I was up all day, so I mean I'm such a mess and I can't feel my face >.< sorry if my activity is weird, my life is chaos as it is without the sleep problems, and these issues just came out of nowhere a few days ago so I'm hoping they straighten out soon. Just please bare with me ^^; of course my body decides to be mean when I decide to get back into role-playing and only allows me to be up at night... when everyone is asleep -.-

At least you're almost out of High School, but sorry to hear about your mom is she alright? I've been graduated since 2014 and at the moment I have no job, but that's only because I can't right now. If I could I would, because being trapped at home sucks so much and I hate it :/ the reason I can't it because I'm pregnant, so it's best to just wait until I recover from it all before job hunting. It would be pointless to apply now because nobody would hire me in this state. I'm busy anyways with adoption process stuff, since I'm opting to adopt out the kid, so I mean my life is hectic as all heck at the moment. If I'm developing insomnia I'm probably just gonna jump off a cliff because I'm tired of these sleepless nights. Ironic part? I didn't have these issues with sleeping until I decided to get back into role-playing to ease my mind. So I'm pretty sure life is just saying "screw you" to me :/ Sorry for the vent, the tension is just building up a lot ^^; I appreciate you being patient with me.

- - - I really like the idea, and I'd quite like to lead one of the clans if possible? I have a couple of questions though... Would Shadeclan be different from the traditional clans then? Would they attend gatherings/ half moon medicine cat gatherings?

Sure! That means all four are claimed now ^0^ I haven't figured out the extent of ShadeClan's differences. They'll have Warrior names and have belief in StarClan, but they despise them and worship the Dark Forest (Which I think will be called DarkClan) because they believe them to be stronger and true Warriors, instead of 'soft hearted, pansy StarClan'. I think they'll attend Gatherings as a way to potentially find information to have the upper hand against another Clan in a battle, but I think they'll keep away from Medicine Cat Gatherings since that's for StarClan purposes, and since the Dark Forest cats will appear as they wish so going to a moon-anything is pointless. In fact I feel as though the Medicine Cat in ShadeClan will either be looked down on, or will also pretty much be a Warrior with Medicine Cat training as well. ShadeClan much prefers fighters than healers, so I feel as though their Medicine Cat Apprentices will also receive Warrior training. They only have a Medicine Cat at all because even they know without one, good fighters could end up dying quicker from injuries or sickness. I also had a thought that the Medicine Cat could have knowledge on poisonous plants and mixes to use as poison for their enemies, but I haven't put much thought in that yet either. They'll also have a very different code of 'honor', naturally. Also, DarkClan aren't manipulating this Clan either. Everyone knows exactly what is happening, and they welcome it. Those rare few who don't like the Clan's ways are often exiled or killed, if they don't just leave on their own first. Some may try to cause a revolt, but the majority are dark hearted, blood thirsty cats, so that is completely pointless and would almost surely end in that rebel's death. So most of the good spirited cats leave on their own, either becoming rogues or joining another Clan.

- - - This is just an idea, but what if the medicine cat has to live outside the camp? They're summoned when they're needed, but perhaps they are only allowed to treat certain members of the clan? For instance, they can't treat elders? Just a thought c:

Post by KittyClearsight on Apr 28, 2017 9:04:43 GMT -5
Hm... that is a cool idea. I was also thinking if the Clan will even have Elders, like once they get older they are still forced to continue hunting and fighting? Which in that case, the elderly Warriors would probably get less medical help to focus more on the younger, fitter Warriors. Although I think that some elderly Warriors would still get some special exceptions, like if they were the strongest, most respectable Warriors in their youth, then even the Clan leader would respect them for what they have done. But those who were just average Warriors will spend their old age pushed to their limit till they literally collapse and die. So that would give a bunch of young Warriors motivation to work even harder, so that one day they'll get that same respect. I'm also thinking of a hierarchy of importance too, and that determines who eats first and who gets treated for injury and sickness first. I was thinking this so far...
Clan Leader Deputy Warriors Respected Elderly Warriors Apprentices Queens Kits Medicine Cat Elderly Warriors
This hierarchy can easily be altered depending on specific cats, like kits of the Clan Leader or Deputy would almost always go ahead of Respected Elderly Warriors, and a particularly unpopular Warrior could go below even normal Elderly Warriors. So, it's all biased on the Clan Leader's preferences.

- - - That's interesting! Also, you could also have if an elderly warrior hasn't caught any prey, they can't ask the medicine cat for help or even have prey? I think queens and kits should always be able to ask for the medicine cat, as perhaps the clan leader knows they are the future of the clan, and it's important they thrive?
Do you know what sort of territory the clans will be living on, or are you open to suggestions?
I think my clan will be called Juniperclan c:

Yes, that works! And yeah Queens and Kits will still get decent care, no worries. It's more in the case of if it's between a fully trained Warrior or a kit, then they'd probably choose the Warrior since they're actively helping the Clan and they can always just have more kits, in the eyes of DarkClan anyways. If it's just a kit though then yeah, they'll do what they can so the Clan will grow. Not entirely sure yet. I was thinking ShadeClan would be in a misty swamp like area, and CometClan in a fertile forest full of a bunch of trees and plants. You guys could choose your clan's territory, but I also have a thought that there's a river that cuts through all the territories somehow, like maybe there's a large lake in the middle and there's four rivers that meet into it that cut into the Clans, kinda like an 'X' shape? Just a thought I had now lol Sounds good, I'll add it! ^^ Oh, also, I'm often on mobile when I plan so would you mind not using the layout thing you have onthis thread? My phone ends up having it cut off and I miss part of what you type ^^; Sorry, my phone just really doesn't like those layouts I guess lol

In an old clan I ran before it died I had the camp as an abandoned beaver dam and in one of my others I have the camp in the middle of a bunch of trees that twisted and grew together. I've got no clue what I would like the territory to look like but it should probably have oaks. The rivers and lake sound like a cool idea.

If I had art skills I would try to make an official map, but sadly I have the skills of a toddler lol but I'll try to at least make a rough copy of vague ideas and maybe ask someone to make a neater copy of it for official use. I'd like each territory to be different, but also not totally geographically impossible.

Okay I have an idea for Oakclan territory. Maybe of there is a lake between the clans like you said their part of the shore is covered with smooth stones that break away into course grass and slowly into lush grass and oak trees dotted with large boulders throughout. Just a thought

Just a thought Sure, that sounds cool ^.^ any idea for OakClan's official camp yet? Or are you still figuring it out? I was thinking CometClan will actually have a cliff at the very back of their territory, and there's a series of caves in the side where they make the dens. Also thinking of a passage way that's hidden that leads to the other side of the cliff that the clan can use in case of emergency, like if there's a fire and the way out normally is blocked. ShadeClan will probably just have dens that are holes in the ground, like burrows.
