I just had a great idea to add to this.
So I've wanted to make a cyborg-cat clan for a while too. If we could have different "kingdoms" (fantasy realm, sci-fi kingdom, steampunk city, etc) all bordering one another, that'd be pretty cool. It'd be like a fantasy novel with cats instead of humans, with a lot of Warriors influence injected into it all.
Basically, I'm interested in creating a multiclan roleplay with you. But it's fine if you don't want to! I could always make a clan on my own. But I think the idea would be pretty interesting.

Dude I'm honestly on board with this if it's OK
Fantasy things have ALWAYS been an amazing thing to me, but wold we need to create a different warrior code for these factions? For most of them, certain powers and enhancements would have to be SUPER rare. Perhaps the sci-fi clan can be located in an old lab as their camp? Each clan camp could be reminiscent of their type.

I agree, their magic would have to be rare and not hugely powerful. Their strongest magic would probably be the ritual where leaders gain nine lives. Weak magic would probably just be slightly enhanced normal things, leaving it open to interpretation whether they're actually real or a placebo effect. On that subject... would the sci-fi leaders even get 9 lives? It wouldn't make much sense for them to have huge faith in their warrior ancestors, plus they'd probably have more developed medicine and sterilisation going on so deaths would be less common

Tbh the steampunk Clan is heavily inspired by the Gaudi museum in Italy so uhh here's some pics Some little weights on strings, could be hanging in the nursery as kits toys or could be in the medicine cat den to be a prophecy-telling thing (like the puddles in the Tribe of Rushing Water) This but turned upside down without the hammers could be a den- obviously larger for the warriors/nursery/etc. But this'd be a good leader-sized den or herb/moss store A cool thing which looks like a hat. Could be worn by medicine cat for ceremonies (doesn't look very comfy so not daily wear) A bell thing. Could be spun, thus ringing the bells, to assemble the Clan for meetings This could be what part of their territory looks like- a sort of hollowed out hill with huge natural stone columns keeping the roof up. I'm pretty sure these guys would believe their Spirits came together to create the world so they'd probably think that was how this came to be too.

Those all sound like AMAZING ideas!! I can help you come up with the names. What will the four clans be? I know there's Sci-fi and Fantasy, but what else?

That sounds good! I would think that the cats in the sci-fi would never discover gun use, due to gunpowder not being very safe for cats. And with the fantasy realm, perhaps they still have a system of social class? That could be another reason they quarrel. The sci-fi clan believes that no matter what family you're born into, you're equal, but the Gaudi cats believe that where you are socially depicts your rank.

I think I have it! Fantasy, Sci-fi, warlike and peaceful utopia? Yes! I feel like the Fantasy/Gaudi and Peaceful Utopia would be allies, same for Warlike and Sci-fi? Maybe I'm being pretty heavy-handed but it makes sense to me, at least.

That's actually what I was thinking! Because with the warlike clan, they'd need weapons only the sci-fi clan could make. However, they'd be pretty intrigued by what the fantasy clan could make, and would be on a neutral level with them.
With the Utopian clan, they would very rarely fivht, only doing so when ABSOLUTELY necessary and NEVER against clan mates or allies. However, they are open to new developments, so they would be neutral with the sci-fi clan.

The sci-fi clan believes that no matter what family you're born into, you're equal, but the Gaudi cats believe that where you are socially depicts your rank. THAT is our plot! So there could be two sides in both Clans- pro-classist and anti-classist. The pro-classist cats believe that having a class system based on birthright makes the Clans more organised, and that it allows cats to be trained from an early age to be good at their respective skill- a kit is groomed from birth to become leader, for example, so she trains in diplomacy and is taught about the lore of the Clan which makes her a better leader at the end of the day- albeit one who has never done the physical labour the lower-class cats do. The anti-classist cats, however, believe that it is wrong to oppress some cats because of who their parents are. They believe that anyone should have the opportunity to be anything that they set their mind on, and that all cats are equal. However, one flaw in this is that they may neglect to see that some cats really are made for one job (for a canon example, Jayfeather is blind so he was trained as a medicine cat). EDIT: Although I don't know how the Utopia and Military Clans fit into this... maybe that's one way to give the Utopia cats flaws, as right now they're seeming a little too perfect? Maybe they're like the Guardian Cats in Tigerheart's Shadow in the fact that they're peaceful and kind but also have no ranks in the first place, so they literally can't get involved because there's no way for them to become classist

I actually had that in mind for the utopian cats. They gave up all levels of classism to receive a sense of peace within them. They still have the normal clan ranks, but literally ANYONE could become leader. A blind cat, a cat with a limp... anyone. However, they would need to train PAST their disability, and make it a part of them. But since they don't necessarily believe in the ranks, it's more of the fact that the 'leader' calls the clan together and they all compromise on the final decision. So they literally have no idea of classism, and wouldn't understand the argument between fantasy and scifi.

So I think I may have thought of names.
Fantasy: The Clan of the Stones and Magic (DruidClan) Sci-fi: GearClan Warlike: ZetaClan Utopia: The Clan of Skies and Peace (DreamClan)
The utopia one isn't my BEST work, but I kinda like the other 3? ;u;

Gearclan is interesting, but I wonder if it'd be more digitized or virtual. Like Dataclan or Javaclan or Cyberclan (Cyberclan sounds best to me).
I love the idea of having all these different clans all put together. Additional ideas for "Dreamclan" might be "Doveclan" or "Oliveclan" perhaps?
So, it's probably decided that Smilii is setting up the magic clan, and that I'm making the computer clan. I really like having those two others, but would Hibi run two clans then? Or should we call someone interested?

I want to make matching layouts! Give me color schemes and ideas for banners and whatnot. I'll spit out stuff that might or might not look okay.

Druidclan: Golds, deep greens and fire reds Zetaclan: Deep reds, silvers and black Oliveclan: golds, whites, and pale greens. I think these would work. If you have any other ideas, lemme know!

Hi guys! I like your colour ideas for DruidClan (although I'm not sure about the name but that's a WIP I guess). I think that blocks of text might look good in a dark red/gold colour scheme, perhaps? Although it might look too much like a hotel lobby, especially with the dark green XD Looking on royalty free stock image websites for nature backgrounds and working from there for the colours is usually what I do, as it's easier to colour pick something you like than to find an image with all the right colours
