.. Hey all. This is a planning page for a tropical Clan planning page. This will be a semi-advanced Clan.
TO DO LIST [] - Clan Name [] - Territory [] - Camp [] - History [] - Traditions & Customs From apprenticeship, the cats of BLANKClan are given a tropical flower or plant as well as a specific color that best fits a part of their personality. The medicine cat chooses this and announces the cat's plant and color at his or her apprentice ceremony before being given a mentor. The plant and color are symbolic to the new apprentice throughout his or her entire life. Once an apprentice has completed his or her warrior assessment and is ready for a warrior ceremony, the elders make a piece of jewelry such as a necklace or anklet or some other form of trinket using the apprentice's designated flower or plant and then decorate it in paint of the apprentice's color.

TERRITORY The territory of PelagicClan is a beautiful island, covered with tropical flowers. Starting on the far northwest corner on the island is a white sand beach known as Shell Coast. The reason behind this name is because the beach is covered with seashells, stretching from the waters edge all the way up to the treeline. This beach is perfect for hunting because there are always large flocks of seagulls as well as crabs and the fish from the ocean. Sometimes Twoleg items wash up on the sand and the cats might use them in parts of the camp. Connected to Shell Coast and running through a majority of the territory is Banana Cove, a large palm forest that is always very shaded. This is the Clan's primary source for hunting because prey is plentiful, hiding in the cracks and crevices of the ground or in the trees. In the center of the territory is a tall, grassy hill where the Clan's camp lies that drops off to rocky cliff. This cliff is known as Piranha Cliff, named solely for the jagged, spiky rocks found at the bottom. Closely connected to Piranha Cliff is a highly celebrated and worshiped landmark. It is a large volcano with billowing smoke, ash, and spilling lava known as the Firetongue. Located in the southwest corner of the territory is a secluded cove surrounded by palm trees and thick bushes where the medicine cats grow herbs including catmint, borage, thyme, poppy, and many more. This is known as Herb Gardens. Close to the Herb Gardens is another landmark, the furthest south of the territory. Known as Pearl Cavern, this landmark is a small cavern that is normally underwater. When the tides are high, Pearl Cavern is completely submerged underwater, inaccessible from the mainland. When the tides are low, this landmark becomes accessible through a rocky pathway made of sand and stone. Pearl Cavern is a beautiful place with a pool in the center of the cavern where apprentices can swim. There is a coral reef in the pool as well where oysters, pearls, and clams can be found. The Moonship is a sacred place. The myth is that the first cats with brought to the island when the ship they were on crashed on the shore. Ever since, the Moonship has become sacred so the leaders and medicine cats speak with StarClan here. The Moonship holds a shimmering pool of water, made shimmering by sunken treasure that was on the ship. WIP
Shell Coast (Northwest), Banana Cove (Center), the Firetongue (Center), Piranha Cliff (Center), Herb Gardens (Southwest), Pearl Cavern (South), Moonship (Southeast), Resorts & Thunderpath (Northeast)
CAMP Big hill with dens and tunnels dug into it; opposite side of the hill is a cliff that drops down to a beach
PelagicClan cat live in a quite unusual camp. Picture a steep hill covered by green grass and dotted by colorful flowers. Now imagine dens being carved into the side of this hill in the form of large burrows with tunnels connecting them internally and kept hidden from the eyes of predators by bushes, logs, and moss. Starting near the bottom of the hill is a thick patch of bramble bushes with a hollow log running through the center. This serves as the camp's entrance and is always guarded with a warrior at post. Sparse bramble thickets strengthened with sticks and small logs create a border around the camp, going almost to the top of the hill. The first den is the Warriors' Den, which is the largest. It is closest to the entrance in case of intruders. The warriors den consists of three main burrows connected by a tunnel, with a tunnel leading to the medicine den as well as a tunnel leading under the barrier and outside of camp to the dirtplace. The next den is directly across from the warriors den which is the Apprentices' Den. This den consists of two burrows connected by a tunnel. Slightly up the hill towards the center in the Medicine Cats' Den which is two burrows, one serving as a sleeping quarters for the medicine cats and the other for the sick or injured patients. There is an herb storage in the back of the left burrow and a tunnel connecting the two. The next den is the Nursery, which is actually a shared den between the queens, kits, and the elders up the hill and to the left of the medicine den. The elders sleep in the left burrow. The queens and kits share a warm, moss-and-feather-laden burrow on the right of the elders' burrow. The final den is the Leader's Den is the highest of the hill, just before it flattens out on the top. The leader sleeps here as well as the deputy on some occasions. The leader reports on what is known as the Highstump. It is a large tree stump behind the den.

Landmark ideas: - Seashell beach with lots of shells and seagulls; Twoleg items sometimes wash up here - Garden of herbs tended to by the medicine cats; just outside the camp - Palm tree cove with lots of shady spots; there are lots of food found here being prey or even bananas etc - Volcano that blackens part of the beach with its ash - Shipwreck is the place the medicine cats and leaders go to consult StarClan because it is the whole reason they ended up on the island. There is a special shimmering pool in the lower portion of the ship
Camp ideas: Big hill with dens and tunnels dug into it; opposite side of the hill is a cliff that drops down to a beach

I like those a lot! Maybe the hill has a cliff on the other side that just drops to a beach? There could be a volcano kinda near and the beach is kinda blackened by the ash. They can hold ceremonies when the volcano erupts on the cliff? Another idea would be a large shipwreck, possibly leading to why the cats are there.

Omg yes I really like those ideas! I could see the volcano erupting and causes a big disaster! Plot ideas!
The shipwreck could be the place the medicine cats and leaders go to consult StarClan because it is the whole reason they ended up on the island. Perhaps there is a special shimmering pool in the lower portion of the ship?

What if it shimmers because of treasure down there? Maybe some of it hasn't gotten rusted and all of that water-y stuff on it?

Post by [ ᴅᴀᴍᴘʀᴇᴇᴅ ] on Oct 1, 2017 21:02:19 GMT -5
That would be cool! The water shimmers because of the treasure and the cats don't even realize there is treasure down there so they just believe its sacred water.

I love that so much. <33 I'm really excited. Perhaps the island is about medium sized and kinda thick forest? Well, tropical forest. There could be a resort as well.

Like a resort the Twolegs would go to? Maybe there are two resorts. One that is new and bright and active and there's a Thunderpath as well. And then the other is smaller and it's abandoned and rundown?

I had a random thought during one of my classes today of having each cat with a specific tropical flower/plant and a color that are two attributes of their personality and character. Such as like hibiscus and pink for a cat could mean they are protective and compassionate. And also regarding medicine cats, there will be up to four medicine cats (two mains and two apprentices). One main will specifically tend to the herbs and teach about herb care and uses while the other will teach about medical techniques regarding herb use.

Would we limit the flowers/plants? I also like the idea of the medicine cats. That way the work is properly split between the two. We could also use stones instead of flowers like jewelry.

Yes we would have a list of flowers/plants and colors to choose from. I think I like the flower idea better because I was thinking the warrior ceremony deals with the elders making a piece of jewelry or something using the plant and paint color.

Ooh, okay. Oh, about the abandoned resort, what if they have apprentices spend a few nights there for their final assessment?

Rain, I definitely like that idea! They have to catch their own food and take care of themselves for three days and three nights in order to complete their warrior assessment.

Hey Dou. We are pretty much brainstorming ideas. Rain and I have talked about camp and territory ideas as well as some customs or traditions. I posted a list of flowers/plants and colors so if you think of anything else to add, let me know. On the first post, I summarized the ideas behind the flowers and colors. I am going to work on typing up the camp if you want to brainstorm more customs or territory landmarks/names.

Are you joining as well or just helping? It's fine if you just want to help. I just need to know what to add you under xD. Anyways, I am working on the camp descriptions and I added virtues for the colors, but not yet for the plants and flowers. Feel free to add suggestions or ideas.
