A Dying Clan Roleplay The forest you've lived your entire life in is now a shell of its former self. The ground is black from the flames and ash and smoke fill the air constantly. Most trees have burnt down and the forest's prey is all but gone. The clear lake that you've always relied for water is now undrinkable and murky from fallen ash. Your clan mates are now ghosts that wander camp for hours with no life in their eyes. They are all plagued by sickness and the memories of ones lost in the fire. Sometimes you wonder if some of them would've been better off dead, in the skies with their loved ones. Although many have lost their faith in their ancestors, you still have hope that they will return your clan to glory once again
Singed Hearts is a fan Clan about BearClan, ElkClan, and FlowerClan, three Clans that have been ravaged by a terrible forest fire. The Clans must fight for survival of their Clan and their heritage. Rules 1. Follow the forum rules, I don't have the energy to get into a fight with anyone about a cat book site. 2. Use the character design template for your cats, it makes it easier for me. 3. Try to stay as active as you can. This is a small rp so you matter to the storyline considerably. 4. Feel free to do unrealistic things with the rp. I don't mind sparkle cats and I understand that it can be more fund to add fantasy elements to the story. I do sort of mind when people make a ton of rogue characters because it seems like an excuse to not have any in-Clan relationships so please try to have cats that are Clanborn more often than not. 5. Try to not make too many characters. I think to start there will be a limit of ten max cats per Clan, since they are supposed to be dying. 6. I'm cool with LGBT+ characters 7. This will be an rp with a high death count, so be receptive to having a character killed off now and then 8. Have fun, don't take the rp too seriously, and be nice to eachother

History of the Three Clans The first animals to ever live in the forest were great and noble beasts that could crush a cat with nothing but their giant hooves. The beasts had branches that grew out from their heads and could tear down trees with their overwhelming force. These beasts were here when the first cats came to the woods and they did not take too kindly to the visitors. The cats had come seeking a new home, led by a former Clan cat who had convinced them to leave the city for a more fulfilling life, but they were met with new troubles when the beasts started to take down their shelters and chase them from camp to camp. The cats were stubborn though, and they declared war against their newfound enemies. One day, the cats met a group of beasts in a great field and attacked them on sight. The cats lost many, but they were able to injure many of the beasts before retreating. The beasts sent a messenger to the cats camp the next day. The messenger was a very old animal, but he still looked very capable of putting up a fight. Shocking all of the cats, he spoke to them in their own tongue. He told them the name of his people, the elk, and the elk's had been surprised although still fury, at the cat's skill in battle. The elk messenger explained that they had been massacred by another greater and scarier species, bear, and that they planned to move north in order to escape them and hopefully avoid the two-legs that hunted them in the territory. Despite all the bitterness between the two groups, they both wished each other well. The cats soon found that the bears had followed the elk north, leaving them alone in the new land. After the elk left, the cats prospered and decided to name their group after the great beasts in hopes that they might gain some of their power. Many moons later, some of the ElkClan cats left to become their own Clan after disputes over the Clan's future. Bear, named after the vicious beasts of old, wanted his Clan to better choose its leaders by proving themselves instead of allowing the leader to choose their successor out of favoritism. He moved his group across the lake and created a new group, BearClan. Bear had many strong opinions about ElkClan's leadership, but he still seemed to show some respect to them and he was always trying to avoid needless conflicts. When BearClan had just begun to settle into their new role, a group of rogues began to settle into the southernmost region of the territory. The group was seen as lazy and unmotivated at first, but their incredibly charismatic leader, Flower, was able to convince the leaders of both Clans to let him stay. The leaders agreed as long as they accepted the warrior code and StarClan as their ancestors. The three Clans lived together in (almost) harmony for moons and moons until the day the fire came and ravaged their land, killing all but a few desperate souls. Now, there is an uncertain future for all the Clans and it is unlikely that they will ever recover.
Territory The three Clans live in a sprawling woodland bordered on the south with large a large plain like grassy area. The woods are mainly birch, maple, ash, and cherry trees with a few conifers distributed throughout. The plains are filled with flowers and long grasses.There is a large lake in the northern end where the cats fish and occasionally swim in during the summer. The Twilight Stones are also located on the northernmost shore of the lake, and it is there where the medicine cats commune with StarClan. At the point where the three Clan converge there is a sleeping monster that the leaders speak on during gatherings.
Camps ElkClan(orange square)- ElkClan camp is set in a large divet at the heart of the forest. Their apprentice, elder, and warrior dens are all made of sticks and leaves. The medicine den is in a hollow tree, the nursery is a reinforced underground tunnel, and the leader's den is made of many small logs that were found in the woods many moons ago. Their territory was the last to be hit by the fire, allowing them to escape to the lake quickly and their casualties to be much less than the other Clans. BearClan(brown square)- Set on a heightened plateau. BearClan's dens are all mud, except for the leader's den which is a cozy cave in the eastmost corner of the camp. They are very close to the mudpits, which was where many cats hid from the fire if they couldn't get to the la Cats can enter camp by scaling a hidden fallen tree which outsiders don't know about. FlowerClan(pink square)- FlowerClan's camp is just a flattened part of their grassy home, and they don't have a wall or any large natural barriers. Many think this makes FlowerClan easy to attack, but their method of attacking from the high grasses is enough to scare countless attackers away. Their dens are mainly grass and many are dotted with wildflowers and good smelling plants. The medicine den usually has fresh herbs growing right outside, but these sometimes die or, at this time, are burned. FlowerClan was the most heavily affected by the fire. With now water source to hide in, far more cats died in their territory. Their mainly dry territory was devastated and most of their dens were destroyed. Prey Since most prey have fled the forest or have been depleted entirely, even very common animals must be tracked down in able to see Rabbits-Common, especially in FlowerClan territory Mice and other small rodents- Very Common Beavers-Somewhat rare Wolves-Rare Deer-Very Common Foxes-Somewhat Common Bears-Very Rare Elk and Moose-Very Rare Frogs and Lizards-Very Common Possums-Somewhat Common Songbirds-Very Common Birds of Prey-Somewhat Common Clan Customs and Habits -BearClan chooses its leader through battle. After the old leader dies, any cat who wants the position can spar for it. They will fight until there is a clear winner(which is decided by the onlooking Clan). -FlowerClan will cover the corpses of the dead in wildflowers before burying them -Every Full Moon the Clans meet at the dead monster to discuss news -Every Half-Moon the medicine cats meet at the Twilight Stones to commune with StarClan. -ElkClan is well known for being a stickler to the warrior code -elkclan apprentices go through a second apprentice's assessment that tests their mind. They are sent out into the forest with their eyes closed and are expected to stay for one entire night and then return home using their tracking skills. -BearClan is thought to be backward by many -FlowerClan cats like to decorate their nests with flowers and little trinkets from the forest -BearClan cats like to take mudbaths on hot days to cool down -Many BearClan cats look down on the other Clans for being weak -FlowerClanners are thought to be weak in battle but very cunning -The ElkClan leader's den is adorned in shed antlers, believed to hold great power Current Relations All of the Clans are too busy tending to their sick to talk or battle.

Allegiances ElkClan Cloudflight||34 moons||she-cat||ElkClan||Queen||Cloudflight is a thin, long-furred, white she-cat with bright blue eyes. She is very quick on her feet, which allowed her to escape the fire with her life. Her kits were not as lucky as she was, as all three died in the fire. After the fire, Cloudflight fell into a deep depression and she didn't leave the nursery for a moon. She sometimes finds herself woken up from a bad dream, screaming her kits' names. Cloudflight used to be very chatty and gossipy, but now she can't seem to find the words to talk to anyone.||Mother of Whitekit, Beekit, and Dovekit(all deceased) A mate, kit from a different litter, or sibling would be accepted||She sometimes sneaks out of camp to walk along the lake and stare at the stars. BearClan Wolfcry||42 moons||tom||BearClan||Warrior||Wolfcry is a big, broad-shouldered, gray tom. He has yellow eyes and a dark stripe going down his back. He was best friends with Stormstar, the leader of BearClan, before he disappeared during the fire. Most cats expected Wolfcry to compete for Stormstar's position, but Wolfcry was very much against having a battle for leader until they found Stormstar's body. Although some still wanted to fight, the majority of the Clan was too scared of Wolfcry to disobey him. Wolfcry is a large, hard-hitting fighter and he uses his size as an advantage, often wrestling his opponent to the ground. He is very slow, though, and easy to evade if you have the right skillset. Wolfcry is generally quiet and enjoys solitude, but he has shown to be undyingly loyal to those he respects.||Friend of Stormstar||Wolfcry has a scar that causes him irritation on his left cheek.
Troutspring || Thirteen moons || She-cat || BearClan || Warrior || Troutspring is a small cat for her age, and was the youngest of three cats, Badgerear, Flintmist, and herself. She has a long, pale grey tabby pelt. The length is useful in Leaf-bare but becomes a burden in Greenleaf. She is energetic, and always felt as if she was the disappointment of the family—Badgerear was an amazing hunter, and Flintmist, even though he didn't attack without reason, was a powerful opponent when he did. Even her father was a strong warrior, and her mother one of the kindest cats around. However, they all died in the fire. She feels as if the entire Clan thinks of her as a failure. Out of all the cats in her family who could live, it happened to be the one who sucked at hunting, and could not win a fight by brute force, but only by using trickery. She used to be an energetic cat and a bother to most because she felt it was the only way that cats would remember she existed, but now that the fire took place, she tries to be humorous to others to say that she's okay, even though that may or may not be true, and to hopefully make their loss less bitter, even though she fails a lot. She fails in stealth, an important asset, but she is fast, agile, and intelligent. She is not very strong, being a small cat. || A crush is available, but her entire family is dead. || She is now deathly afraid of fire.
FlowerClan Poppypaw||14 moons||tom||FlowerClan||Apprentice||Poppypaw is an orange and white tabby tom with red splotches across his back and face. He is very peppy and energetic at all times, and he always keeps a strong face to encourage those around him to not panic. He is an excellent hunter and fighter, and he is constantly working to improve his skills. Poppypaw lost both of his parents in the fire, and he is now very protective of his surviving littermate. Poppypaw's warrior ceremony was held off after his mentor died of graycough(smoke inhalation). He is considerably upset by this, but he knows he will get his name at one point. Poppypaw is deeply upset by his parents' deaths, but he pushes away the grief so he can help his Clan.||sibling to Brightpaw||Poppypaw is bisexual
Brightpaw||14 moons||Male|Flowerclan|| Former Medicine cat apprentice||Brightpaw is a lot smaller than his brother, mostly a white tom with ginger splashes that splatter across his fur, the ginger having light tabby markings on them. He has warm green eyes, although his ear was shredded to pieces, and he has a raspy voice, lungs weak from the fire. He'd always been the sickly type, and the fire left him with even worse lungs. He's a real sweetheart, wanting to help anyone he can and ignores the clan's codes most of the time, wanting to help any cat in need and willing to go above and beyond for anyone. Incredibly close to Poppypaw, and although he is sweet and wants to help he's incredibly shy, and almost refuses to speak to most, hiding behind his brother and letting him do the talking.||Poppypaw-brother||Other: He is gay. Has a huge fear of even smoke or flames.

OOC: I added your character, feel free to rp on this page. sweetclover1 I think I'll just start roleplaying since we don't seem to be getting a ton of new people on here, so we can just start until our Clan grows a bit. Rp: Cloudflight stirred in her nest. She heard the remnants of ElkClan move around the camp, but she had no wish to join them. It had to be almost sun-high, but Cloudflight knew that no one would care if she slept for the rest of the day. As much as she hated their pity, it had its benefits.
Wolfcry stared around camp and wondered if he should organize a border patrol. It's not like it would matter if I did or didn't, he thought. Most cats have lost their will to live, let alone their will to fight us for land.
Poppypaw stalked through the grass towards a frail rabbit. As skinny as it was, it was more than most cats had caught since the fire started, though that wasn't much of an achievement. Poppypaw was one of the few cats not too scared to leave camp. He took another step before jumping forwards and sprinting towards his prey. The rabbit attempted to run, but in its feeble state, it couldn't get far before Poppypaw came crashing down on it. He picked up his catch and let out a squeal of joy. Poppypaw stopped as he realized how kit-like he must sound, and looked around to make sure nobody heard him. He sighed, realizing he was alone, and picked up his catch to bring home.

Troutspring had recently risen from her nest, and was brimming with her energy. She practically bounced around camp, staring at the cats milling about, their eyes full of death. Seeing the lifeless expressions was truly a depressing experience. Cats as young as kits seemed to be living only a half life, their families dead. It was a wonder that Troutspring hadn't been broken by the death of her entire family. Even so, it would be a lie to say she was okay. She passed by the her Clanmates, and as a way to keep her from completely breaking herself, she imagined the greetings she'd have received from the cats if the fire hadn't occurred. They weren't all the nicest, but what was she to expect? No one respected her. She was just... There to be a nuisance. She imagined how she would have annoyed them. Now, instead of annoying those same cats, Troutspring attempted humor to cheer them up. She failed to receive even the slightest smile. After that, she attempted motivating them in different ways. She saw Wolfcry, and she meowed a greeting. "Hey, have you seen the sky? There's no clouds, surely you could try to do that with your face."

OOC: Rp: Wolfcry rolled his eyes at the joke, feeling too tired to deal with any other cats. "Do you plan on doing anything besides bothering me today, Troutspring?" he snapped back. He found Troutspring to be a considerable annoyance. He suspected that if it weren't for her, no one else would ever try to chat with him.

OOC: Rp: "Well, StarClan knows we need food, but even reliable hunters aren't bringing back much so I don't think it'd be worth your time," he commented. "Why don't you go get us some mud for patching dens up, I'm sure that would keep you busy for a bit."
