welcome Welcome to TigerClan's role-play planning page! The Clan will be semi-advanced with simply yet strict rules to keep an organized and orderly environment. While this role-play values quality over quantity, we ask that you are able to write at leas three detailed sentences. Each helper is expected to be capable of role-playing with decent grammar and spelling as well be capable of completely complex plots. They must also abide by rules and be able to respectfully remind those that break the rules to reread them and follow suit.
The main idea follows: In the end, neither Blood nor Lion won the war. Tiger had won with blood trickling from their claws and jaws. Killing Scourge was easy, he wasn't train in the ways of a warrior. Tallstar and Firestar had nothing against Tigerstar, as he had been in more battles than the two combined. Any remnants of Lion and Blood retreated into the dark, their tails between their legs like cowards. Tigerstar was born for this. Born to rule over the four Clans. He had accomplished what he set out to do. Now, all he had to do was build TigerClan to the height of his dreams. He created new ranks and new codes, shaping the forest with his bloodstained paws. Anyone who defied was exiled or even killed. Seasons after his death, TigerClan still remains stronger than ever. - - - - - » ✦ ● ✦ « - - - - - the forms ◆ Tag || Nicknames ◆ Schedule & Timezone: Answer ◆ Previous role-plays you've created or helped with?

rain's ideas » Claim-a-cat » Kinda a monarchy; leaders are mates, deputies are mates and one is the kit of the leader, medicine cats are the kits of the leaders » Warriors are split into warriors and hunters. » Kits of the leader must prove themselves to be potentially deputy. » Murder plot that leads to war with the remnants of Lion and Blood

Ohhhh this sounds really cool! How has no one signed up yet???
◆ Dagegen5 || Dag, Dage ◆ Schedule & Timezone: Central Standard Time; UDT -6. My schedule is best seen as erratic... I'm generally available after 5pm on any given day, but I at least have my phone on me to reply to questions or put some input in at any time. I can't always guarantee my availability though... my school and work schedule fluctuate a lot. ◆ Previous role-plays you've created or helped with? Links, please. Unfortunately, I don't really have any credentials to my name... I did run a couple clans back in the day, but there's no links for them anymore. ^^; ◆ What can you do? I could write up the rules! Any technical and generally un-fun stuff is something I can always mash together. If this is going to be a claim-a-cat, I can also help with character development and relationships. ◆ What do you plan to bring to the role-play? I am fairly loose and flexible when it comes to role playing; I often times go with the flow to let others develop ideas just as frequently as I do, so I don't swamp the game with my ideal picture of how it should go. I like to think I'm a pretty chill person becasue of it! I also try to keep my characters as diverse as possible to keep my muse up and encompass as many different people in the role play as possible. I can also play characters seen as... unpleasant. From evil to just annoying, if a hated character needs to be played, I'm your girl! xD ◆ Role-play Sample:
Mossheart was soaked.
She was no longer dripping, but she was cold and wet, something that she hadn't ever encountered before. She half scowled at her Riverclan companions as they all returned with their prey locked in their jaws, her fur feeling heavy with the soot-stained water. In her own jaws dangled a mouse, a scrawny rabbit and a small bit of her remaining pride and dignity: a moderately sized fish -- the Riverclanners called it a bream? Mossheart didn't even know that fish had names.
Granted, the Windclanner was thrilled that she had managed to catch one. It was just... not at all graceful, she admitted; as if her soaked pelt and spirits wouldn't be able to showcase that fact. The bream had two long set of claw marks down its side, as it had escaped her grip twice over before she managed to plunge her head in and grab the slippery, scaly thing between her jaws. She had pulled her soaked body from the water only to have the bream escape as it flopped viciously in her jaws, landing on the ground and flailing desperately in the mud. It was extremely unusual of her prey to move post-catch and she had to scramble after the bream before it flopped its claw-marked body back into the river from whence it came. Her ears were still burning warmly from the embarrassing situation.
But now she stalked back to the Riverclan camp with her water-logged tail nearly dragging along the ground, following her Riverclan companions in hopes that they weren't still laughing at her. It had been an experience, she was sure of that. Beesplash's cheerful smile through the prey she held was reassuring, Mossheart did admit that. As the group headed into the camp, she headed to the pile, feeling fairly proud of the work that was done today. "Well... not bad considering the situation," she mewed, feeling a little sheepish as she stood next to the deputy.
From: ᴡʜᴀᴛ ʀᴇᴍᴀɪɴs.. » literate jump-in destroyed clans ◆ Do you have any ideas? If so, name them here: I like the idea of monogamy being enforced by the clan; ie, once a character takes a mate, that's their mate for the rest of their life. There would be no divorces, if you would. And with deputies likely choosing a mate based on their abilities that would make for a good leader, this would probably lead to a couple forbidden romances in the plot~
A new religion system or a modified version of Starclan. Whether it's real or fake, it would be one that would grant the current leader bloodline the right to rule Tigerclan, thus making the other cats a little more subservient. ((This one is a little greedy... I like playing characters that question their faith :V ))
I'm also hesitant about claim-a cats... I do like them quite a bit, since they develop character relationships so well, but they often run the chance of being uninteresting to potential role-players. As long the characters are fairly open-ended, I think it would encourage more people to come by!

Accepted, Dage! I really liked your sample, and I also like your ideas, especially the different religion. Though I do fear it may get complicated, as if we choose something that makes the TigerClan bloodline the only rulers, it'd have to be past leaders and kin to give lives, possibly blurring the line between StarClan and the Place of No Stars. So they can simply worship past leaders and deputies depending far out we go.
We can also arrange mates to further enforce monogamy, or we can do a bit of both and perhaps make it similar to some Asian cultures where there was a "queen" and other concubines. Then again, that topic can be a bit touchy and perhaps border with the rules. I think I'll need to ask a mod about this idea if we like it enough. I just want to keep this really interesting and I actually wouldn't put it past Tigerstar to take multiple mates at once and say it's because he's in charge.
We don't have to do claim-a-cat. I figured it'd be shot down by someone. If we don't go that route, I'd like to make this a smaller group role-play, allowing people to have as many cats as they can handle, but also make sure the Clan is realistically sized. I see many dying in the BloodClan battle, but I also see numbers growing. I'd rather grow in the role-play over having a large Clan and needing some kind of plot to thin the herd, ya know? :3

Thanks!! >///< Ah, shoot... that is a very good point; I didn't really think about leaders receiving nine lives at all when I thought of that! It could very well be a blur between the Dark Forest and StarClan, something where the Dark Forest can suddenly give leaders lives, and keeping Tigerstar's bloodline in a position of power is the most beneficial to them. The actual StarClan could be silent for now, perhaps shunning the clans for falling under the sway of such corrupt leadership and keeping their paws out of anything related to TigerClan. That does rest quite a bit on the idea that the Dark Forest could even manage to give out nine lives, though...
Another suggestion: maybe the leaders don't get even get nine lives anymore? Like you said, they could just worship past leaders and deputies as deities and the Leader is even more monarch-like and doesn't do anything that could threaten his/her livelihood. I don't know if that would conflict with any future plot points you had ultimately planned, however. :S
Assigned mates are always drama-filled headaches and I am 100% here for it. :3c I do agree with the bloodline leader taking multiple mates... especially if none of their kits seem to be up to the task of being a fit leader! No one could really stop them from doing so and corruption is always fun... It would be best to check with a mod about that though, just in case. xD Quick question; would this role play be picking up with Tigerstar as leader? Or would it be sometime in the future?
Ahhh, I didn't want to shoot the claim-a-cat idea down fully, sorry! ^^ I do like them and I know others do as well... but there have been some where the fun feels sucked out of it because there's nothing for you as a player to really do to for your character. I feel as though they have to be left open just enough to let people make them their own. On the other hand, I do agree with limiting the group-size for the role-play if it does happen to be create-a-cat; the smaller they are, the easier it is to plan and get everyone on the same page!

◆ Sand || Sand ◆ Schedule & Timezone: time zone: MST/MTN. Usually on for an hour or two in the morning; return to being online after 5pm EDT/EST, though I have schoolwork from Monday to Wednesday. Quick warning: I have a paper to write the week of 12/4 (next week) & exams on the week of 12/11 to 12/16 -- just so you know. ◆ Previous role-plays you've created or helped with? Links, please. tropical planning page & two original 5 clan rps ◆ What can you do? Whatever you need me to do, really; I don't have any specific "talents" ◆ What do you plan to bring to the role-play? I suppose I'd like to bring activity to the roleplay. I might not be the most active person around, but I'd like to be able to contribute by roleplaying with other members & giving small ideas. I would like to bring interest to it too. ◆ Role-play Sample: in spoiler Littlepaw had always found Swanpaw and Quietpaw to be a tight bunch, especially with the way they admired each other. Maybe it was something siblings did, but to her, it was relationship she awed at and dreamt of. Though that didn't mean she didn't like being an only kit; it was fine to have some solitude too. Sometimes she wondered what it was like to have a very close relationship whether the other feline was a littermate or not, the calico couldn't help but contemplate.
Swanpaw's expression was one she didn't mind peering at for he seemed completely relaxed. As for his sister, Quietpaw, the feline noticed she wasn't saying much at all. Not willing to intrude, she decided to focus on the young tom as best as she could. His energy was easy to keep up with, thankfully. "The camp is a disaster. I don't think anyone knows what to do right now," she mewed, sneaking a glance over to Morningshadow and Maplelight.
She wouldn't lie, the two she-cats seemed a little... suspicious to Littlepaw, but what did she know? She was only an apprentice, after all.
"Lynxclaw, huh? I mean, I guess he's cool, smooth and level-headed compared to Yarrowstar, but I can see Cherryshine or Hickoryburn being our new leader!"
Pausing momentarily, the tiny cat realized that the grey and white she-cat besides Swanpaw was silent except for a nod of her head. Maybe she found the topic to be tiring? Surely she wanted to have an input here, right? With a shrug of her shoulders, the thoughts of Quietpaw's demeanor soon disappeared as she dived back into the topic. "Three mice for Lynxclaw? That's cheap," Littlepaw meowed, slightly shocked. Rolling her copper eyes playfully, she decided to make a bet of her own. "If that's your bet, Swanpaw, then I'll bet five mice for Hickoryburn! He's a loyal cat with the determination any leader needs. Plus, he's super smart!"
came from here ◆ Do you have any ideas? If so, name them here: None at this time; I'll add to the form or post them when I have some, though

Sorry for the day's absence. With it getting closer to the holidays, I may get a bit more poofy.
I like your ideas, Dage. We could have the leaders just have one life, maybe it being a scandal for a leader to get their nine lives from StarClan, as the lore would be twisted in Tigerstar's favor. This will be in the future, perhaps his great-grandchildren. I was thinking in this AU, Hawkfrost, Mothwing, and Tawnypelt all joined Tiger for obvious reasons, and Brambleclaw was exiled or he escaped. I'm debating on also having a pair of LeopardxTiger kits and at least one of the descendants being leader or deputy today. I dunno, we'll have to work out with which line he preferred.
Shooting it down is fine. I wasn't sold on it, but I was considering it. :3
Accepted, Sand!

I've been poofy too, tbh; no worries! In the next couple of days I'm probably not going to be available for a week because of finals. x.x
I've always thought it to be pretty funny that Tigerstar seems to prefer the relatives that look exactly like him, lmao. But a TigerxLeopard litter would absolutely make sense... it could absolutely start of the lineage of their ruling, as they were both clanborn and leaders. I also haven't read the Sasha/Tigerstar mangas so I have absolutely no clue how that story line went down... but I just don't see him caring as much for his half-clan kids if were to have had pure-clan kids. Perhaps there could be a part of the plot where another cat sees themselves as the rightful leader or something. P:

I haven't read the manga, but I know how it went down. We just need to make it in-character and have it make sense. I mean the history. I can see Tigerstar trying to reform things and he dies before we get to the current version of TigerClan.

◆ Catdaddy || Leech, Honey
◆ Schedule & Timezone: I am in Pacific Time, available all days except for Tuesdays and Thursdays where I'll only be on in the evenings.
◆ Previous role-plays you've created or helped with? Links, please. (Click here) This was a long time ago, but I've off and on created and helped with roleplays in the past.
◆ What can you do? I am a pretty good writer and can get research done if that is something that's needed, I do big picture things.
◆ What do you plan to bring to the role-play? I am very active online so I will be able to help keep the roleplay going. I think I can bring a good energy to the roleplay and make others see it has a lot of great potential, so they will stick around.
◆ Role-play Sample:
Leopardcloud basked in the sun beaming down through cracks in the nursery that had yet to be repaired. She had requested that Stoneclaw, Fernpatch and Reedpaw waited until she had left the nursery to patch up the den, seeing that it was Greenleaf and the sun bathing her pelt while she laid in her nest felt like a luxury, and it made her feel like she was alive. It was only two moons ago when she had lost Lionkit and Robinkit, born far too early and in a weak state when they were born. They had died the same night, leaving just Mothkit behind. Leopardcloud had stayed up for days at a time assuring that he was still breathing, and when she did sleep she would wake at any of his movements and her heart would race in engrossing fear. Today was the first day he had left the nursery, finally strong enough to meet his clan-mates, and Leopardcloud finally not drowning in dread every time he was away from her. She watched him dart out of sight into the Apprentice's den and she swallowed back hard, shutting her eyes. "He's okay, he has his clan-mates, he is safe, Mothkit is okay," she repeated this in her head what felt like a hundred times until she finally let herself breath normally and feel the sunshine again. ◆ Do you have any ideas? If so, name them here: Instead of a claim a cat roleplay, I think it would be more in everyone's interest (creative interest) to make their own characters, but are under the knowledge that they must be willing to let cats die, also maybe if you don't want clan overpopulation you could have a kit-limit, or make it clear that cats will die in battle, to be realistic. I like the idea of arranged mates, figured out while they are apprentices, and cats who are deemed as less than average do not get to have kits or mates since they don't want to ruin the Clan bloodlines.

Accepted Honey! I'm not sure about them being so specific with breeding regarding barring some from having mates and kits. They believe themselves to be the best of the best, instead they may exile cats that they feel don't fit the Clan, possibly using the excuse that they are half-Clan or have half-Clan blood even if they don't. I was also thinking there would be many chances to thin the herd in regards of keeping the number of ideal TigerClan cats. Those who fail an assessment twice could be banished or those who heavily believe in StarClan, going against Clan beliefs.

◆ @battlingfear || starman, star ◆ Schedule & Timezone: I am on Monday-Saturday for ~2 hours a day. Eastern Standard. ◆ Previous role-plays you've created or helped with? Links, please. None on these forums. Sadly, don't have the links for past roleplays I created. I do plan to create a new roleplay soon. ◆ What can you do? I can help with pretty much anything. Writing is one of my better skills. ◆ What do you plan to bring to the role-play? Unique characters to help drive the plot, bendiness with plot (if that makes any sense), welcoming new members + roleplaying with them. ◆ Role-play Sample: Everything from this... "Ok, um, you need... help." Well, never mind that some strange man had just suddenly appeared in her bedroom. That was creepy enough. What mattered now is the injuries that were leaking blood and his wheezing breaths. She was no doctor - no one in her family was. The most advanced things she knew were basic CPR and how to make a splint. Sliding off the bed and stepping over him, she hurried to her dresser and pulled open the top drawer. Rifling through underwear and socks, she find a medical kit. Upon further inspection, she found it to only contain a few bandages and some disinfectant.
"This will have to do," she mumbled, crouching beside the man. "Sir? If you can hear me, I need to patch up what cuts you have. Then I will get a doctor... if you need it." She was unaware of the full extent of his injuries, but planned to check him over when she stopped the bleeding. It shouldn't be too hard to find broken bones. Maybe. to this. Don’t tell my heart, my achey breaky heart. Billy Ray Cyrus’ mellow voice rang out from the small radio clock, filling the room. The shirtless man sitting on the messed bed glanced up from his book and huffed. “Achey breaky song,” he muttered, pressing a button on the radio to silence it. The glowing numbers read 6:00 AM, meaning it was time to get up. Pulling himself out of the covers, Maverick’s feet hit the floor with a muffled thump. He yawned, still feeling worn out despite a full night’s sleep. Instead of falling back asleep, he had decided to read. “Now I’m regretting that,” he mumbled to himself. He rifled through a dresser, pushing aside several David Bowie shirts, before finding a clean white shirt. He pulled it on, blinded for only a moment before he pulled his head through the top.
Proceeding with jeans and a white button up shirt with his department’s logos, his thoughts drifted to the day he had received Riley’s call. He had lost contact with her after high school; something he regretted, but not to the point that he tried to seek her out again. That guilt had resurrected when she had contacted him weeks ago about shadowing him as part of a writing project. The idea intrigued him. He had never had a shadow before; only a few trainees had watched him work and asked questions when needed. They had not tagged along on his assignments. Now he was being offered to show what he did for the sake of Riley planning a book on police work.
He had not yet read Riley’s work – heck, he hadn’t even known that she was an author – but had heard good reviews from his youngest sister, Bexley, who was a bibliophile. The name hadn’t registered at the time, but now Maverick remembered why the author of the series had seemed familiar. He was glad to see she was doing so well and had a successful book series. Though the hype had died down, he was certain that she could write another killer book to impress the critics.
“Not I,” he chimed to himself as he polished his glasses and put them on, then adjusted to make sure they fit right. He couldn’t write a book for his life. The first and only book he had written was in middle school, and it had been about Spider-Man fighting an alien tiger. Not exactly killer nor original material. Though, the illustrations had been decent. He had kept up that love for drawing through school, before graduating to painting. Though he didn’t consider it a strong suit, Maverick relaxed when he was working on a portrait or scenery. No point in giving up a hobby just because he didn’t think it was good enough. He wasn’t going to be showing anyone his work any time soon.
He adjusted his tie, making sure it was loose enough to not bother him. Though there was no point to wearing a tie – he would be taking it after he finished up some simple paperwork – he still wanted to look nice. No harm in looking dapper today. Finally, fully dressed minus his shoes, he grabbed his contacts case off his nightstand and jacket from his closet, stuffing the case in his pocket. Flipping off the light as he left his bedroom and shut the door, he made a mental note to fix up his room when he got back home. He trekked down the stairs onto the open lower floor and headed to the left towards the kitchen. He grabbed an apple and two granola bars, sticking the apple in his mouth like a stuffed pig and the bars in his pocket. As he headed towards the front door, he grabbed his keys and stuffed them in his pocket opposite his necessities. He pulled on one shoe quickly, tied it, and did the same for the other as his watch beeped, reminding him that it was time to leave.
Mrrrow.
The familiar meow made Maverick groan. “Forgot to feed James,” he hissed, jogging over to the corner of the kitchen where the tabby’s food dish sat waiting. “Here, tubby,” the man called out, quickly scooping from a bag hidden in the lower cabinet a regular portion of cat food. As it rattled into the bowl, his cat appeared from a hiding spot, purring, before settling into his breakfast. “Bon appetite,” Maverick mumbled before dashing out the door.
With the car started up and himself buckled in, Maverick pulled out of the driveway and headed down the road, keeping himself from speeding. As tempted as he was, it wasn’t exactly appropriate for an officer to speed. Plus, the roads were at risk for ice, with winter having set in. He shivered as he drove, regretting his decision to wear only a light jacket. Tomorrow, he would be better prepared. While he waited for a line of cars to pass, he adjusted his bun, using the mirror as reference. “There.” It was as neat as he could get it. Hopefully, he didn’t look too much like a hot mess. As he drove, he hummed along to the various songs, enjoying the tunes. They were quiet enough to not bother him. However, the music was interrupted by his phone buzzing, and he groaned inwardly. He pushed a button on the dash of his car and said, “Maverick here. ”
“You sound like such a legit police officer. How cute!”
He inhaled through his nose at the voice of his oldest sister, Meghan. “I am a legit officer. And hey, girlie,” he said. “What’s up? I’m kind of on my way to work right now.”
“Just wanted to check in on you, make sure you got a move on.”
“Uh-huh. What else did you want?”
“Bexley’s birthday is coming up. We would appreciate it if you came over to at least have some cake or something. She misses you.”
Maverick pursed his lips, another bout of guilty baggage weighing down on him. “I-I know. Trust me, I do. I promise, I’ll be there. I even have a present picked out.” A lie, but hopefully, Meghan couldn’t see through that.
“Liar. You said you would come by last year, and the only thing you did was send a present. She hasn’t seen you in the flesh for so long.”
“Alright, alright. I’m sorry. I’ll do my best, alright?” His eyes caught sight of the police station up ahead. “Listen, I have work to do. I have an author shadowing me today for her book. Riley, uh… Capps? Yeah, Capps.”
“Oh, the author? That’s awesome! You know, she’s Bexley’s favorite author. Plus, I heard she’s single.”
Maverick grit his teeth, frustration stabbing at him. “Shut up, Meg. You’re not funny. And I have to leave,” he added as he pulled into the parking lot. “Love you. Bye.”
“Mav, wai-” Her voice was cut off as the officer ended the call, parked, and turned off the ignition. Sighing and leaning his head back against the seat, he gave himself a moment to breathe before his watched buzzed at him again, reminding him that it was time to work.
He got out of the car and pressed the button to lock it, satisfied when he heard the familiar chirping. He huddled inside of his jacket, shuddering as the air nipped at him. Jack Frost nipping at your nose. The familiar and soothing lyrics brought back happy family memories, and he entered the station humming. “Hey, Mav,” his fellow officer, Riggs, called out.
He offered the other man a wave and greeting before heading to his desk. With the holidays coming up, many people had begun inviting others out to bars to celebrate the holidays, resulting in assaults, drunk driving, and various other offences. With every bad guy caught came a boatload of paperwork to fill out. As he settled down in front of his desk, he filed through various reports that needed filled. Fun times.
“Walker!”
He bit his lip, keeping himself from snapping in frustration, and glanced up at the voice of his commanding officer, Parker Wilson. The older man was waving him over, and Maverick recognized Riley standing next to him. Here already. That was nice. He left his work and jogged over, putting a smile on so that he didn’t seem too crabby. “Miss Capps,” he greeted, sticking out his hand for her to shake. “It’s good to see you again. Welcome to the station.”
“You’re out on patrol today, Walker,” Captain Wilson pronounced. “I’ll give you your block once you get Miss Capps introduced to your partner and give her a rundown of the station. Meet me back here when you’re done.”
“Yes, Captain.” Maverick acknowledged him with a nod and faced Riley again. “Ready to see the department?” he inquired. “We’ll head out afterwards. You have an informing day ahead of you.”
My average count is ~300-500 words. ^^ I have some off-site samples I can share later, too. ◆ Do you have any ideas? If so, name them here: A quick idea is that TigerClan is split up into five sectors: four of them are the original clans' territory, and the central hub is Fourtrees. The central hub would host the most important cats, etc. Just an idea.

Agh, I've been so busy! Working and then some traveling. Star, I think you're good! Though I'm unsure about the splitting of the camps. I'd rather just have a big area and the former camps serve as training areas or something other than housing. I hope that makes sense, I'm a bit tired.

We can kinda get the timeline sorted out. I think it'll be a good start to work on and gets the history out of the way. I was thinking about two or three leaders after Tigerstar, so grandkits or great grandkits depending on what we choose.

Hi are you still accepting helpers? This idea just had me really excited ^^ ◆ ashfeather || any nickname's fine with me really, normally go by Ash ◆ Schedule & Timezone: So I actually live in Australia, but the timezone isn't too bad; I'm normally on around 5pm EST onwards. ◆ Previous role-plays you've created or helped with? Links, please. So I created quite a few role-plays on the old forums and also helped out with a few others, unfortunately I don't have links to them now though. I only just recently joined the forums again so haven't really created any on here as of yet. ◆ What can you do? Anything really, bar layout design and the like. ◆ What do you plan to bring to the role-play? I think that I'd be a good role-player and active presence in the clan. I can help develop plots, even if just smaller sub-plots within the role-play, and like to think of my characters as pretty interesting and fun to work with. I'm also up for bringing in some more 'evil' characters to role-play with for particular plots; I think a clan like Tigerclan would sort of demand those types of characters. ◆ Role-play Sample: From here.
"Shhh," Andy hushed, raising one of her hands to cover his on her wrist, the other still pressed against his wound, "Save your energy. I'm not going anywhere." Her tunic had been quickly stained with the deep red of blood, but seemed to be an adequate material to pack the wound - at least for now.
As determined as she was to save this elf's life and as calm as she tried to appear for him, she really wasn't sure what to do next. What are you doing? You're not trained in medicine. Just go - leave him! Her mind screamed at her, protesting every move she made to help. But she pushed all those thoughts to the back of her mind, concentrating on what was in front of her. Her mind flicked through all the books she had ever read, desperately trying to find a snippet of information that could help. She knew that the help that she could give him was limited, but it might help him to last until one of his own found him. She wasn't sure if what she had learnt about elves being able to cast spells was true - the solid facts of science made her skeptical on the possibility - but hoped for his sake that they were.
Water. I need water. The answer popped quickly into her head: not only would she need to clean the wound to prevent infection, but he also need to drink to conserve what little strength he had. Luckily, she had been carrying a flask of water which she had thrown to the side when taking off her tunic. Letting go of his hand, she reached for it now, not daring to take her other hand off his stab wound just yet. Fortunately, it was within reaching distance. Holding it between her thighs, she managed to get the top off with one hand. "This is going to sting." she warned him as she went to pour some of the cool and clean water over the wound, reminding herself to leave some left in the flask for him to drink. I will add that when I normally role-play most of my posts aren't that long. I normally only write a decent paragraph, sometimes two. ◆ Do you have any ideas? If so, name them here: So I've read through the past few posts on this thread and agree with the helpers that have been a bit hesitant on claim-a-cat role-plays, just because I find they can limit people in a sense I guess. I think you might've already decided not to go with claim-a-cat anyway. I also really like the idea of forced marriages, it could create a lot of drama and sub-plots that would be fun to role-play. Something that I was thinking of was about how Tigerstar would probably value physical strength in cats, and from that could come competition-like events that give cats in the clan a chance to show off their strengths and maybe even advance up the ranks in the clan? Perhaps not to the ranks of leader and deputy as such, but they would just hold a better position in the clan and be more respected or something? I was also trying to think of ways that kits of a leader could prove themselves to potentially be deputy. I feel like since the moral code of the clan probably shifted during Tigerstar's rule, it would be something of a violent/merciless nature, perhaps when they are an apprentice? Something along those lines, but maybe not as dark as murder. I'll probably come up with some more ideas as we go along but those are just my thoughts for now ^^ By the way, Merry Christmas!!!! Or happy holidays, if you don't celebrate Christmas

Not really sure why the second half of my post changed font and size, I'm not too great with formatting on these forums yet >.<
