INFO COLLECTION (Please spare me, I wrote this while listening to swing music)
ALL JAYCLAN INFO:
JayClan is a very prestigious and respected clan, known for priding themselves on their pure bloodline that goes back thousands of generations. Their warriors are skilled hunters and fighters.. Not a single kittypet or loner has been accepted into their camp for thousands of moons. Basically the royals of the territory. It was created by Gigithebear.
Territories
Most of the territory is covered in trees, JayClan taking much pride in their ability to climb and maneuver around them.
Most of the other extended territory consists of a large clearing in which small rodents and snakes can be found, and rocks to sunbathe on. Their territory with ends with MistyClan at a small creek.
The Shallows
This is where Lion's tail River from Mistyclan ends up. Though there are small fish in there, they do not often use it as a food source, more using it to better clan their coats, or to practice swimming.
The Basking Meadow
Due to the foliage of the trees being so thick, not much sun is seen underneath them. This is a break in the line of trees, making this the ideal spot for training, basking, and having fun.
Camp
The Meeting Wisteria
This is a giant wisteria tree at the center of camp, where the clan meets. It's the pride of the clan itself, the leader sits in the branches, and the deputy and medicine cat sit at the base.
The Twoleg Bird Trap
This is a small area one the very end of the camp, where a bunch of birdhouses are. A twoleg comes by every once and a while and throws bird-feed in the area. This is where much freshkill comes from.
The Medicine Den
A fallen over tree, next to a pile of rocks makes for a water-proof area. The tree long since died, making way for maple to spill from the trunk, and herbs to grow around it. It also acts as a barrier, as it is very hard to jump over, protecting that side of camp.
Dens
Most dens are underneath bushes and trees except for the leader's den, which is in the trunk of the meeting wysteria itself.
Jayclan are the most prestigious clan in all of the territory. They almost never accept outsiders into their clan, unless they find them to be of some use to them. Some examples of such instances would be if:
-The cat demonstrates extreme capabilities in fighting, medicine, tactics, etc
-The need to get fresh genes due to everyone in the clan being too closely related
-They believe the cat is a part of a prophecy
Jayclan cats are lithe, quick, and long limbed, their coats usually being browns, blues, or grays. Most all of them are marked in some way: spots, stripes, dapples, etc. To posses characteristics outside of the norm are seen as ugly or unfitting for a prestigious bloodline. The cats are not cruel, this is not a reason to be kicked out, but they won't be anyone's first mate choice. Some breeds for cats that will give you a better idea about how Jayclan cats look would be Russian Blues, Orientals, Cornish Rex, Singapura, and Colorpoint Shorthairs.
Jayclan has a few traditions that they have acquired that make them stand out from the usual clan such as:
-Medicine cats can most certainly have children, but only after they have a fulled trained apprentice.
-The leader is never allowed to appoint their children to deputy.
-In accompanying the vigil, new apprentices must hunt for a jay-bird, if they catch one they are said to old a great destiny.
-Due to the trees in the territory being so large and so thick, apprentices, warriors, the leader, and the deputy all sleep in the treetops, being better able to see potential threats. Queens, kits, and elders all sleep in the roots of the trees.
A very important note about Jayclan!
They are not cruel, and they are not unwelcoming. The cats of the clan are extremely nice to one another, caring for every single cat as if they are direct family. It is due to the high expectations for themselves that they posses a competitive spirit, making everyone just slightly tense. This is more of a story beat than anything else, as it makes way for a variety of character interests and motivations, also creating a divergent from the standard "all kind and loving clan" that you too often see.
Cats:
Leader: Willowstar | Female | 27 moons | Willowstar is a very large cat by Jayclan standards, rivaling that of a Maine Coon, but she still is for the typical Jayclan body type, long legs with powerful shoulders and haunches. Willowstar has light gray blue fur, it being darker at her paws, tail, and back. To match her darker tones Willowstar has a white underbelly and her ear tips as well. She would be considered a beautiful cat, if it weren't for her eyes. They're almost an unnatural orange, ugly garish things most cats hate to look at. | Willowstar isn't a very traditional hard leader, she's kind, patient, and very intellectual. A lover of conversation, Willowstar keeps very close relations to her warriors, seeming more down to earth than some leaders might be. Now no cat is without flaw either, Willowstar can be reserved with her own emotions, too focused on her clan and clanmates. She also feels unlovable, to far above her clan as their leader, and too ugly to want as a mate. She craves intimacy and true love, unsure if it will ever come to pass.
Deputy:
Medicine Cat:
Medicine Cat Apprentice:
Warriors:
Junipernose | Male | 32 moons | Junipernose is a lean, gray tom with a particularly soft coat and pale, patient green eyes. There always seems to be a gentle light within his orbs, and it's noticeable that his expression rarely expresses any heavily negative emotions. Don't be fooled by his rather soft appearance, however, and the kind air that encircles him; underneath his pelt, he possesses powerful muscles that are ready to serve him when needed. It is true, however, that while he gives a surplus of morale support, he isn't the best fighter around - he's more of a hunter. | It wouldn't be peculiar to say that it's his kindness that may eventually get him killed. Gentle, jovial, humble, humorous, generous, nurturing, and unconditionally loving, Junipernose rarely steps out of his own way to regard someone unfairly or skip to cheap assumptions of their character. He's extremely forbearing and empathetic of others regardless of status, and his naturally kind nature makes him someone who is easily applauds others for their success, even if it means his failure. He's an endearingly soothing and perceptive warrior who is surprisingly fierce when met with a plight, and will defend his clan mates until his last breath. his further shows how he's guided by his principles and experience rather than by steeled practicality. Despite his soothing demeanor, Junipernose can and will be mischievous at times. It may not seem like it, but he's also quite prideful, though it's far from vain; in fact, his pride shows through the very trivial things he appreciates. So, with everything in mind, he's a hospitable, passionate, and wise warrior who is able to throw away his own pride when he's with his loved ones; not because he lacks it, but because he values the relationships he makes with others far more than anything he can imagine. @alistair
Kestrelstrike | Male | 24 moons | Kestrelstrike is a small, amber-brown tom with darker stripes of amber and even black trailing down his spine. He has large ears and long whiskers with a rather naturally sanguine face, making him an easy individual to approach without feeling too much intimidation. While he's small in size, it's true that he's incredibly light on his feet; in fact, his nimble reflex has always been an asset for him to offer to his clan. | It’s his compassion that gets the best of him; he’s easily moved, really, and possesses a big heart. One of the strongest characteristics he has is the fact that, despite his small size, Kestrelstrike is incredibly reliable; in a way, he can be described as a steady pillar of sorts that stands proudly behind someone to support them to the best of its capability. It’s true that he does, however, boldly dive into sticky circumstances without hesitance (especially when those he cherishes are in danger). That is to say, he rarely ever worries about the undesired consequences his quick-temper attracts; once something elicits a reaction from him, whether it be negative or positive, there's no stopping him. With that said, he is vigorous, spirited, good-natured, diligent, and kind; his encouragements are always genuine, and he's not one to lie or deceive others for any personal gain. Additionally, he's unexpectedly considerate of the feelings of his peers and their insecurities. Kestrelstrike is also astonishingly observant and serious when it comes to taking responsibility for his duties with an extremely high level of concentration. In fact, he becomes uncharacteristically calm with a task at hand, as he does everything in his power to provide the support his clan needs until the very bitter end. An interesting trivia to his personality seems to be that he's weak to compliments; praise him with no underhanded intention, and you'll instantly have a trustworthy friend next to your side. It's also noticeable that he's surprisingly easily embarrassed and shy around any new she-cat he meets. @alistair
Robinstripe | Male | 32 moons | There’s a partial reason for his flirtatious personality; his elegant and well-proportioned visage encourages a bit of his smug demeanor. Tall and lean, Robinstripe is a rather large, creamy-white tom. Upon closer inspection, it’s noticeable that his large, blue eyes hold a certain warmth to them. Darker flecks of color are specked on his underside and arms, though they fade out quickly, and his paws are slightly grayer than the rest of his body. | Flirtatious, adapatable, prideful, confident, and blasé with a twinge of childishness, it’s a little difficult to understand Robinstripe upon first glimpse, mainly because he does leave quite an impression. And, despite how relaxed he may appear to be, he’s sharply intelligent - in other words, he understands how to react to immediate plights without loitering about for too long. One could even describe him to be extremely cunning with a keen eye for detail; his ability to understand the strengths and weaknesses of others allows him to become one of their best potential allies, or their worst nightmare. However, unlike the initial impression he usually leaves with most individuals, there’s much more to his character than what meets the eye; extremely dedicated, hardworking, and protective, he’s one to work himself down to the bone. He’s astonishingly adamant about doing the most for his clan to the best of his capability, particularly for the queens, kits, and elders. So yes, Robinstripe may appear to the awkward at best and and callous at worst from time to time, but he strives to be there for those who are in need of him. To that end, he tries to be conscious of his consideration for others, as he does genuinely care for their wellbeing. His trust is difficult to earn, certainly, but he won’t rest until those he fiercely loves are unharmed and happy. A trivia fact about him seems to be that he doesn't make any promises unless he knows that he'll be able to keep them without fault.
Silverberry | Female | 27 moons | Silverberry is a small for certain, but that doesn't stop her from assisting the clan to the best of her capability. Underneath her fur, she has a surprising amount of muscle built and possesses strong legs that are able to propel her forward with intense agility. Tufts of white fur trace down her chin to the upper portion of her underside, and she has a thick - almost cloud-like - tail. However, it is true that given her physique, she can be easily overwhelmed by those that are far more muscular and larger than herself. | Although quiet and serene, Silverberry is one who possesses a deep sense of justice, as she strongly desires to do what she feels is right. It may not be spotted often, but there's also the fact that she may occasionally warmly tease those who are closest to her (although this isn't always the case). If there's one thing that can be almost instantly perceived of her character, it's that she's extremely loyal to the point of self-sacrifice. Her devotion to her clan and those she's come to trust is indisputably unyielding, and she deeply cares for the wellbeing of her companions. In fact, when she regards the safety of her clan mates, her fierce nature may be elicited more often than not. As an understanding individual, she's also shown to carry great emotional intelligence where it counts. While it's true that she's driven to give aid to those in need and is one of the more likely warriors who will reach out a paw for a stranger's sake, it's certain that she's reticent and even a little secretive. It's also shown that she's surprisingly more lonely than what she may appear to be upon first glance(though this isn't to say that she doesn't enjoy the company of others). Overall, Silverberry is a calm, serious, and courageous warrior who takes her duty with steady passion and great care. Her concern for her clan mates goes deep, and through her actions and words, she displays her strong value in trust and love.
Queens:
Apprentices:
Larkpaw - Male - 10 moons - As a slender singpura tom with pale, green eyes, Larkpaw is average-sized with an unusually long tail. His underside is a lighter shade - almost approaching white - while his paws seem to be dappled with paler hues as well.| If you look around the camp, you’ll spot Larkpaw rather quickly, as he’s usually the one perched over something tangible while magnificently bathing in sunlight. Reserved, calm, laid-back, and charming, Larkpaw is almost like a mirage that appears to be impossible to decipher. He’s one to deftly come and go without leaving a single trace behind; it’s impossible to catch him because it would be like a cracked pot trying to hold water. He’s a cool-tempered, mischievous, and sometimes devious schemer who always seems to have a trick in store. Practical but laid-back and lazy but diligent, Larkpaw is a bit of a juxtaposition; every negative or positive aspect to his personality seems to have a flip side to balance him out. It’s the situation that truly elicits his flaws and his morals, as he’s prone to act when he’s met with a difficult circumstance. Something noticeable about him is that he greatly dislikes fighting (and confrontation) both relationship-wise and physically, despite his speedy agility and adaptability to quickly learn. It’s also noticeable that he does things with his own pace - or, at least, he would like to, though he’s more than aware that this isn’t always possible. Additionally, while he appears to be secretive and relaxed, Larkpaw gets work done; no matter how grueling his task is, he’ll complete it stoically without a single trace of complaint. Depending on what work he’s been given to complete, however, this may craft his reputation as someone technically skilled or mercilessly ruthless. Additionally, he's bewilderingly serious with an intelligence that rivals those far older than himself, and he’s frighteningly perceptive even if he oftentimes conceals this with his lazy smile and nonchalant demeanor. Nonetheless, as a magnanimous individual, he's forgiving, fairly easygoing, and protective of those he cares for, and he surely knows how to good-naturedly laugh things off.
Kits: Littlekit | Male | 3 moons | Littlekit is a very very small kit, and unlike most kits in the nursery. He's a calico, something odd amongst the grays and tans of Jayclan. Small, lean, and bob-tailed, Littlekit doesn't seem to be of Jayclan descent. | Littlekit is picked on daily by the other kits for being "ugly", and one would expect him to be angry or bitter about his treatment. And yet, Littlekit is one of the kindest souls in Jayclan. Curious and adventurous, Littlekit can often be found sneaking out of the nursery to get a look into the medicine den, or at the fresh kill pile. He's also extremely passionate, and can speak for hours about something that he finds interesting. Although, it seems Littlekit can be a bit naive, often tricked into doing things by apprentices and other kits. He doesn't seem to notice though. Littlekit was brought to camp newborn by Willowstar. She gave no explanation as to where she found the kit, only that he belongs in Jayclan.
ALL MISTYCLAN INFO:
MistyClan are quite opposite of JayClan. They are agile, graceful and quick, and pride themselves on their quick thinking and logic. They have a special challenge for kittypets, rogues and loners, if which they pass they join the clan. Their main prey is fish, as they live next to a river, however, this can also be obtained from the creek that is their border to JayClan. MistyClan cats are thick furred, with most of the clan being a Maine Coon and Norwegian Forest Cat breed. It was created by your truly (MissMisty).
Territory:
MistyClan's territory is situated like a small forest in which the Lion's Tail River flows through.
Lion's Tail River:
MistyClan's main food source. It was named after their descendants, LionClan, and cuts through one side of MistyClan territory, whom's camp is situated somewhere along the bank. It ends by flowing into JayClan territory.
The Great Falls
A huge waterfall that begins the Lion's Tail River. Place where the Great Falls Challenge takes place (see below).
The Grey Rocks
A bunch of boulders that are usually used for sunning on a nice day or a rendezvous point for hunting expeditions.
Camp
The Training Pool
A small pool in which kits are trained to swim from an early age. It is about 10x10 feet wide, the deepness ranging from 2-4 feet (shallows) to 8 feet (deep end).
The Meeting Rocks:
MistyClan cats hold their meetings on high boulders. The height that they sit on represents their status as follows:
Tallest rock: Leader
Second tallest rocks: Deputy / Medicine Cat
Third tallest rocks, clustered together: Senior warriors
Second lowest rocks, clustered together: Young warriors
Lowest rocks, clustered together: Apprentices
Elders, queens, kits and newcomers/visitors to the clan sit on the floor. Unlike other clan meetings, kits may join their mothers to watch. Medicine cats may invite their apprentices to join them on the second tallest rocks from time to time.
Dens
Most dens are made out of sticks, bramble, etc., though some are made of hollowed tree bark. The nest are made out of moss and are sometimes lined with bird feathers. The leader's den is a large boulder with vines covering the entrance for his/her privacy.
THE GREAT FALLS CHALLENGE
The Great Falls (see above) Challenge is the traditional challenge loners, kittypets or rogues must take to prove they are worthy to join MistyClan. The challenge is overseen by the leader or deputy, and involves three tasks over one night and two days.
TASK 1 (First Day): The cat must catch enough fresh-kill to feed a queen and three kits.
TASK 2 (Night): The cat must survive the night at the Great Falls with only a piece of fresh-kill and clean water. This includes defending themselves from predators and finding shelter.
TASK 3 (Second/Last Day): The cat must find his or her way to the top of the Great Falls, with no guidance or assistance. The leader/deputy is waiting at the top to congratulate them (if they make it).
Cats:
Hazestar - Leader, She-Cat, 56 moons, 6/9 Lives - A graceful, smoky gray tabby she with fierce gray eyes - Hazestar is a proud and protective cat, who cares for every cat in her clan. She is a great strategiser, and practical, relying on defense more than offense. - Her brother is Stormfoot - MissMisty
Stormfoot - Senior Warrior, Tom, 56 moons - A Dark gray tom with pure black feet and golden eyes - Stormfoot is a kind tom with an experienced nature. He knows many battle moves, and can hunt quite well. His weakness is his speed, as he was injured in a fox attack when he was a young warrior, and has been lame ever since. - Sister is Hazestar, and apprentice is Otterpaw - MissMisty
Otterpaw - She-Cat Apprentice, 7 Moons - A pretty silver apprentice with dark green eyes - Sweet, Caring and Funny - Chocolate-Fawn
ALL MOUNTAINCLAN INFO:
None collected. It was created by Luminous.
ALL TWOLEGCLAN INFO:
Twolegclan was created when a group of kittypets were left to fend for themselves, after their owners all left at the same time. They had some kittypet food left originally, but quickly realized they had to catch their own food to survive, especially when they learned all the other twolegs had left as well. After they first got together, they received a message from Starclan, learned the warrior code, their first leader, Pinkstar, received her nine lives, and they became a clan. When the other clans learned of them, there was outrage, especially from JayClan, who were blinded by their "purity", but Twolegclan managed to be recognized as one, with help from Mistyclan, their skills and intellect, and of course, Starclan. It was created by Orangeeyes.
Special traits and skills
Being originally kittypets, Twolegclan still prefer to use the nests to their advantage, and are masters of ambush, being almost silent hunters in the nests. Since the abandoned nests are very old, creaky and missing boards are common, leading any apprentices to need to be near silent to catch anything, as there are many small crevices that are impossible to enter. The need to remember many twoleg nests, and to differentiate between them, leads Twolegclan to have much better memory and always looking for another angle. This leads to very smart and strategic cats, and apprentices have been known to give an idea that is better than what even the elders could come up with. Since the nests provide a ton of different elevations, Twolegclan has learned to use all sorts of terrain very effectively, and can easily reach treacherous or hard-to-reach areas. They are not as strong or quick as other cats, and their reliance on using the terrain around them heavily disadvantages them in open areas such as moors. Even in unfamiliar terrain, they can quickly learn and take advantage of hiding spots and ambush locations. The different twoleg nests are also fairly difficult to patrol, and if another animal finds an entrance it can be hard to get them out, not to mention being extremely dangerous to an untrained apprentice.Their tendency to only fight if they have a good advantage can lead to them retreating often, but this is easily remedied by the fact that Twoleg clan cats can avoid other cats very easily when they are trying to hide.
Territory
Since Twolegclan has primarily used the twolegplace where they live for everything, they do not have much territory outside of it. Even with this extra territory, Twolegclan rarely fights in it unless they have the advantage, retreating to the nests when they are outnumbered.
The skynest
Being the largest nest, and considered a mansion at the time of it's abandonment, it was an obvious choice for Twolegclan's camp.The entrance has been barricaded by generations of cats painstakingly moving large furniture and has a much smaller and much more easily defended entrance, and any entering cats can be easily spotted.
Red rock
A pile of bricks, put there by the owner before leaving, most likely for a project that never happened. it is where the leader speaks, and is at the top of a hollow mountain (second floor and stairs).
Camp
Leader's den
Situated in a small bedroom, the leader's den has a small skylight, enabling the leader to receive signs from Starclan.
Medicine den
The medicine den is located in a twoleg hider place (kitchen) where the drawers and cupboard aids in storing and protecting herbs. It also helps in newer cats to learn herbs quicker. It has a sliding glass door, but the cats only know of it as a field put there by starclan to enable the medicine cat to connect to starclan, and protect the medicine den at the same time. Cats can hide in empty drawers as well, and the medicine den has been saved multiple times through this method.
Elders' den
Placed in a bedroom at the end of a dark hallway, the elders' den is a quiet place, as not many kits are brave enough to go there, and those who are often get scared by the coldness, or scary voices (the elders) speaking, and leave. A few who venture further are greeted with praise, being braver and tougher than most others and not letting fear get the best of them.
Nursery
Placed in a master bedroom, the nursery is one of the largest areas in the skynest, and needs to be that large to support the large amount of kits being born. It has a double bed for queens, and the kits have plenty of room to play, with the added bonus of the Nursery having many cat toys. It has been used as a small base when the skynest is being attacked, as it is the most protected area within the skynet.
Apprentice den and warrior den
These two are pretty much the same, and are the medium rooms. Some cats have their own area, but most stick to these two dens. Both are always defended.
Other dens
The deputy, and certain cats who have proved themselves, receive their own dens, for themselves and their mates. Not all cats get these, but it helps cats strive to be better. These are situated in more hidden and secluded spots, making an attack on the main dens from an enemy much less effective.
Other twoleg dens
The six other twoleg dens (not counting Blackwood or the training nest) in Twolegclan's territory are heavily blocked off, except for a small, secret entrance that is constantly moved. It helps outnumbered cats be safe, and provides a area for sick cats to not spread whatever they have to others. These are much smaller as well, being bought from the owner of the skynest.
Blackwood
A burnt-down twoleg den, used for burial and vigils. A cat is only buried here if they have a large contribution, or they lived their lives to become an elder. What caused the fire or how the whole house was made of wood is not known by Twolegclan.
Training nest
The oldest twoleg nest in Twolegclan's territory, it has been overgrown by vines and serves a challenge to apprentices during training. They learn to use the terrain to their advantage, and many warriors remember when they first tried it, the vine breaking, them falling, being laughed at, and finding a new angle to get up.
IMPORTANT!
Twolegclan may have come from kittypets, but they are not all accepting. Pure strength or power is less important than skill and thinking, and they are not easily impressed. Not many cats can even learn or remember one nest, let alone 8. This does give them a great way to improve, and the cats have even learned to open doors. They may advance to become smart as humans, but this is severely limited by their natural fighting skills and bodies. They are purely focused on what cats can do, and very few are ever accepted, almost less than Jayclan. This could lead to similarities between both of them, but opposite the same.
Cats:
None yet.
ALL MOSSCLAN INFO:
MossClan is situated in a damp, swampy part of the forest. Most of the territory is flooded with freshwater. As a result, most cats know how climb and swim. MossClan cats typically have long legs and wide paws to help with swimming. Their pelts are sleek and typically short, in hues of brown and black. Many cats are narrow faced, but this isn't a typical clan trait. The clan is generally cunning and elusive, preferring to win with surprise and tricks. These cats are often seen by others as cowards with no honor. MossClan cats aren't too keen on large battles and often rely on the element of surprise. Once they attack, they retreat silently, waiting for the next chance. They are most comfortable in wooded terrain, as their dark pelts would blend into their surroundings. MossClan cats are taught to be secretive and quiet, leading to an almost shy nature. Revealing of clan secrets is serious in their eyes, so of course most secrets are never told. They do welcome outsiders in the clan, but they are led to another camp and told almost nothing. Cats outside the clan may be welcomed to the main camp and allowed to join should they prove to be loyal and trustworthy. It was created by ͐T͐͐ᴡ͐͐ɪ͐͐ɪ͐ᴀ͐.
TERRITORY
MossClan territory is mainly wooded swampland and is often wet. The land is flooded, but the waters recede nearing the borders.
DIET
The diet of a MossClan cat mainly consists of frogs and fish. Shrews, water shrews, water voles and mice are also fairly commonplace. A cat may go after birds such as sparrows, thrushes, robins, or magpies, but birds aren't as common. Snakes can be found in some areas, but cats don't usually eat them.
Cats:
None yet.
