About This Roleplay
β‘ This is a roleplay of the original four Clans (ThunderClan, RiverClan, ShadowClan, WindClan) where the twolegs didn't decide to destroy the forest and the Clans weren't forced to move. Everything up until that point remains the same, so it starts with all the canon characters from the beginning of Midnight; however, in this roleplay, the characters will live out their lives as they would have had the prophecy never occured. Thus, this roleplay is claim-a-cat, and mainly involves canon characters (though some extras were added to RiverClan, ShadowClan, and WindClan to make their populations comparable to ThunderClan's which, obviously, has the most canon cats). If you don't want to play a canon character, you can always create a rogue, kittypet, or other non-Clan cat that interacts with them and may or may not end up joining one of the Clans (however, I will limit rogues/loners joining Clans as that is a rare event in canon. You may interact with them as a third party as much as you want, though).
Roleplay Rules
β‘ Follow all forum rules, as always.
β‘ No flaming, trolling, spotlighting, powerplaying, godmodding, etc.
β‘ No mary sues/"perfect"characters. Your character is almost never going to be the absolute best in the land at anything. Being very good at some things (not everything), however, is entirely acceptable. Your character will be bad at some things. They will have some flaws. They will lose sometimes. Similarly, though, please don't make your character so awful that they have no good aspects and are mopey and depressed and annoyingly flawed. Give them some space to develop and improve, but also let them develop and improve.
β‘ As always, keep things pg. So, no excessively graphic violence, language, or other inappropriateness. If you desire any of these things please take it to PM where it is legally out of my control.
β‘ Please try to be literate and original. Make your characters and their actions unique and meaningful rather than making them from a cookie cutter with nothing personal going for them. Contribute to the plot and roleplay in a meaningful way that is enjoyable for everyone. Use good grammar, spelling, etc. At the same time, please don't write a novel every post. If you try to make things too long and complicated it gets boring and tedious. Find that comfortable middle where it's entertaining for you to write and entertaining for us to read.
β‘ Please keep characters realistic in appearance. Obviously things don't have to be 100% realistic- there are plenty of tortoiseshell toms, and somewhat unrealistic pattern combinations exist, such as gray and black spotted- but keep the cats believable. So no purple eyes, blue stripes, or perfect star-shaped marking on their forehead. Since this roleplay is claim-a-cat, and cats who are not initially a part of the Clans are somewhat randomly generated by me, this shouldn't be too much of a problem. Still, something to keep in mind.
β‘ If you are gone for more than two weeks without prior warning, you will be suspended and your characters marked "inactive." If you are gone for another month, your character will either be killed off or made available for someone else to claim.
β‘ I reserve the right to reject or remove people who are not literate enough, who do not contribute well to the roleplay, who are not active, who do not keep in the spirit of the roleplay, or who do not adequately follow the above rules.

Joining
β‘ Joining in this roleplay is very simple: all you have to do is find a cat that isn't already claimed, and claim it. When you join, you may add to their description a little (not too much though; we want to keep them short like in the books). With a couple exceptions, you can't change their relationships (the only exceptions being identifying "unknown" relationships- for example, agreeing that your tom is the father of kits who don't have a father listed). You also may not change their age, or any other information that's already given.
For canon characters, please try to keep their behaviors and personalities as close to canon as possible. I am well aware of how difficult it can be to portray someone elses' character with 100% accuracy, so some differences are acceptable, but the characters should still be more or less the same. Another thing to keep in mind when claiming canon cats is that their futures are not set- they may turn out very, very differently than in the books. So if you claim Leafpaw, don't be upset if she never ends up with Crowfeather. For that matter, Crowpaw and Leafpaw both will most likely end up with different names, as the events which led to their full names won't ever happen. So when you claim a character, claim them because you like how they are, or their potential, not because you like them as they become later on in the books. Make sure to keep an open mind; the point is to make things different from the books (but still realistic).
Of course, filler cats, or canon cats with very little canon personality (such as those only listed in the allegiances, mentioned in the background, or with one or two lines) you have a lot more freedom with. For those with some canon, try not to contradict whatever traits are presented, but past that, you have the freedom to interpret the character how you want.
If you don't like any of the characters given, you always have the option to create an original non-Clan cat- a kittypet, loner, or rogue. For the sake of fairness, these cats will be partially randomly-generated (to prevent people from making their favorite OC as a kittypet and then having them promptly join ThunderClan, for example). You may choose the cat's gender, age, and name, and once the description is given you may add to it (like with the Clan cats) or make minor adjustments (such as changing their eye color from yellow to amber or their pelt from ginger to ginger tabby), but their overall appearance must remain the same. From there, you're free to interact with the Clans as you wish, but there's no guarantee your cat will be allowed to join! After all, outsiders joining the Clans is pretty rare, so only very few will be allowed to join in this roleplay, and not very often either. However, your cat may stay outside the Clans and interact with them as much as you like, as a friend or foe.

ThunderClan Territory
β‘ The ThunderClan forest territory is located in what Twolegs call the White Hart Woods. The territory also includes Twoleg places such as Windover Road and Chelford Forest. Their territory consists of deciduous woodland, named White Hart Woods by Twolegs. Their camp is in a sandy ravine that used to be a riverbed long time ago, surrounded by brambles. There are many landmarks in the territory, including:
β‘ Camp - It lies at the foot of a sandy ravine, protected by thornbushes. The camp is easy to defend and hard to attack, as it is protected by steep hills, bramble walls, and has only two entrances.
β‘ Tallpines and Treecut Place - A pine forest near the twolegplace, and a loud yard where the trees are cut. The place is usually quiet, but sometimes tree-eaters come through, tearing down some of the trees, and more saplings are planted in their place.
β‘The Great Sycamore - One of the largest trees with strong and thick branches. It is a good tree for apprentices to learn how to climb, because it is sturdy and the branches don't sway much.
β‘ The Owl Tree - A tree that serves home to a tawny owl. Apprentices and small cats should be very careful in this area.
β‘ Sunningrocks - Massive granite rocks that absorb the sunshine and are a place of relaxation. Moons ago, it used to be an island belonging only to RiverClan, but at some point the river changed so that ThunderClan could access the stones. They are now constantly being fought over and changing paws.
β‘ Snakerocks - Home to venomous adders. The caves beneath the rocks can also be homes to other dangerous creatures. However, it can also be a good place to find mice, voles, and other small rodents if one is very careful.
β‘ The Sandy Hollow - A large hollow filled with soft sand- good for training so that cats don't hurt themselves during sparring.
β‘ Twolegplace - The place where Twolegs live. Mostly nests with gardens and fences- home to many kittypets, who for the most part know to stay out of the forest. Twolegs and occasional dogs might be seen there, but as long as one stays near the trees it is mostly safe.
ThunderClan Camp
β‘ The camp is at the bottom of stony ravine which was once a riverbed. The camp itself is surrounded by dense brambles which protect the camp from predators, but doesn't stop sunshine from coming in. The main entrance into the camp is through a gorse tunnel. Dens are mostly under bushes, but a few are under boulders.
The nursery has thick bramble walls, full of thorns and closely woven together to make a warm, safe den.
Behind a tree stump, there is a clump of ferns which forms the apprentices' den. Next to the ferns is a large, flat stump.
Warriors sleep under a bush in roughly the center of camp, where the ground has been hollowed around the bush roots out for nests.
Inside the camp, there is a fallen tree, under which the elders' sleep, their nests protected by tangled branches and tall grass.
Across the clearing from the elders' den is a smooth tall rock: Highrock, where the leader stands to address the Clan, which gathers in the clearing around the boulder. The leader's den is in a cave in the rock which was carved out by an ancient stream, with lichen covering the entrance.
The medicine den is divided from the rest of camp by a fern tunnel, and is in another, separate small clearing. The den itself is a large space under a couple of boulders.

Brackenfur slowly emerges from the Warriors Den and lets out a loud yawn. He glanced up at the sky and twitches his ear. He had slept longer than he had meant to. Earlier, he had joined the dawn patrol and had intended to sleep for a little bit. Sitting down, Brackenfur starts to groom himself and listen to the sounds all around him.

Whitepaw swiped her pink tongue across her maw, reveling in the last bits of the mouse she had just finished. Twitching her whiskers, the small apprentice twisted her neck and groomed down a ruffled patch of her delicate white pelt. She had been bored all morning after Brackenfur went on the dawn patrol that morning without her, and now all of her den mates had left for training or patrols. Tail tip twitching, she laid her head on her paws, looking extremely bored as she basked in the sun.

Whitepaw blinked upward as Brackenfur approached her, his tone gentle and friendly. "Hi, Brackenfur," she mewed, raising her head so she could see him better. "I'm okay. How was dawn patrol?" she mewed, flicking an ear slightly as she spoke.

(Very short starters because I'm at work atm lmao)
Longtail had awoken at dawn- or at least what he had thought was dawn based on the faint light which dappled the blurry mass of hazy green he could barely make out with his ruined eyes. He had tried to continue sleeping, but his dozing was uneasy, as he tossed and turned with discomfort no matter how he lay. His nest needed new moss, and though as a warrior he could sleep practically anywhere if needed, he wasn't as young as he used to be. Though he would never admit it to the other elders or the rest of his Clanmates, age- plus being trapped in camp due to his disability- was beginning to take a toll on his body. His joints ached, and he always seemed to feel tired. Finally, once he heard voices beginning to sound softly from the clearing outside, he gave up sleep and padded out of the elders' den, feeling for a warm patch of sunlight where he flopped down to groom his ruffled tabby pelt.

Leafpaw | Medicine den Leafpaw was crouched in the medicine den, sorting herbs into piles. Cinderpelt had asked the apprentice to do so as she went out to collect marigold, which they were low on. It wasn't a big jobβas all she was doing was picking out the old, wilted herbs from the fresher onesβbut it was still keeping her... somewhat occupied. Her mind was still inactive enough from the habitual, rhythmic movements to wonder about other things, such as what her sister, Squirrelpaw, was doingβhopefully not getting into trouble againβand if Cinderpelt was going to be successful on her herb gathering or not. Whatever thoughts danced about her mind, though, didn't keep her eyes from remaining fixed on her work.

Larchkit woke shortly after dawn, the gentle sounds of her denmates sleeping around her lulling her into consciousness. Slowly the little she-kit opened her eyes, letting out a wide yawn. Just outside the den, she could see the shapes of her Clanmates moving about camp. The day was already underway! She scrambled to her paws, wanting to wake her littermates to play, but they were fast asleep and Ferncloud had chastised her before for doing so. For a moment the young kit was unsure if she was allowed to leave the den on her own.
I'm a big kit now, she thought. I can handle going outside by myself. Cautiously, she exited the nursery, eyes wide at the warriors going about their daily business. She watched them for a while, before deciding to explore. I've never been there before. I wonder where it goes, she thought, looking at the fern tunnel that led to the medicine den. She bound over, padding quietly down the path until she reached the clearing where the medicine den was. Looking around, she saw no one. "Hello?"

Leafpaw | Medicine den Leafpaw pricked her ears as a soft, high mew sounded outside the den. It must be one of Ferncloud's kits! she deduced, setting the borage she was sorting through down for a moment. Rising off the dusty ground, she padded out of the space between the boulders and into the medicine clearing. She looked down, and her amber gaze fell upon a kit, just as she'd thought. "Larchkit, what are you doing outside the nursery?" Leafpaw asked the she-kit, her eyes filled with concern. Was Ferncloud okay with this? If so, why was Larchkit alone?

Post by Aphelyon on Sept 16, 2017 13:07:38 GMT -5
Larchkit started when she heard a reply, staring with wide eyes as Leafpaw emerged from a cleft in the boulder that decorated the clearing. The kit hadn't really interacted with Leafpaw before; she'd barely opened her eyes by the time the older cat had left the nursery. Leafpaw looked concerned as she gazed at the kit, and Larchkit shuffled her paws uncertainly, wondering if Leafpaw was going to say she was in trouble. She knew Ferncloud had always said to stay away from the medicine den; Larchkit just hadn't realized this was where it was!
"I-I wanted to explore," Larchkit stammered. "I didn't know this was the medicine den. I'm sorry. Please don't tell Ferncloud!" she pleaded. Of course, the worst Ferncloud was likely to do was to tell Larchkit not to do it again and perhaps give her a firm lick between the ears, but the kit still had no desire to earn her mother's gentle scolding.

Leafpaw | Medicine den Leafpaw let out a breath of relief. "It's okay," she mewed, giving the she-kit a small smile. "Just be careful where you wander off to next time. You might not always be so lucky." Leafpaw remembered how Cinderpelt had warned her of the dangers of letting kits into the medicine store. According to the older medicine cat, kits didn't know that the wrong herbs were bad for them, and could accidentally eat something they shouldn't. Knowing her sister, Leafpaw didn't doubt that some kits were more mischievous than others and would try to see how far they could bend the rules without breaking them. She was glad that Larchkit was merely wandering around the camp to explore, and not trying to cause trouble.

Hollykit
The chatter of camp woke Hollykit, and for a moment she pressed her ears back in hopes of drowning out the sounds. She wanted to keep sleeping! It was too late though, she was awake. Opening her eyes, the comforting warmth of the nursery greeted her. Yawning, she wriggled a little into the bedding to try and get more comfortable. Her drowsiness was still wearing off; it took her a heartbeat to notice that something was wrong. Where's Larchkit?
Her sister wasn't in her usual spot, curled up next to her and her brother, Birchkit. Looking over the sleeping form of her mother, Ferncloud, the only other cat she spotted was Goldenflower snoozing in the corner. ...Had Larchkit gone out of the nursery? Hollykit considered waking Ferncloud to ask, but hesitated. If Larchkit did sneak out, Ferncloud would be upset with her. She didn't want to rat out her sister! Instead, Hollykit rose cautiously, trying not to wake the others, and peered out the nursery entrance in hopes of glimpsing her sister's brown tabby fur. She could smell that Larchkit hadn't been gone too long. She flicked her tail, wanting to follow her sister's scent but knowing she wasn't supposed to go out by herself.

Ferncloud | Nursery Ferncloud was lying peacefully in her nest in the nursery, her chest rising and falling in long, soft breaths. Her tail was curled around the kits by her belly, and her eyes flickered as she began to wake up. The light coming from outside the nursery was attempting to invade her closed eyelids, letting her know that dawn had come. She could partially hear the sounds of her Clanmates getting up for the day and heading off on their patrols through the drowsiness of her mind. She let a yawn escape her pale jaws. The first thing Ferncloud saw when she blinked open her eyes was the small shape of her kit by the nursery entrance. Still half asleep, she asked her daughter, "What are you doing awake at this time, little one?" her words soft and almost getting drowned by a yawn. Surely there was nothing to worry about. Hollykit was probably just curious to see the camp and the Clan.

Flicking her tail in delight, the young she-cat nodded excitedly, getting up onto her paws. "Yes! I'm so bored, they wouldn't let me go on the last hunting. patrol because you weren't up!" she exclaimed, blinking softly. "Sorry about that. Come on let's get some hunting done." Brackenfur turned and makes his way to the fern tunnel. He figured they could head towards Suningrocks.
