Sounds good. I want her to be young-ish, so maybe not the first choice to become deputy. She is one of the best hunters and, in time, slowly gains confidence in a more leadership role.
The history is fine. It is a good length. I also like the about section. Just a note, the last sentence has a spelling mistake.

True. cx There are tons of Northern light pics.

Those look like nice colors, but I do get what your are saying about changing them.
What were you thinking the font should be? Rocky, graceful, loopy?

About
Auroraclan was a normal clan, until they were struck with tragedy. After the fire, the clan traveled for a while before they decided they had to stop. Once they stopped, their leader, Owlstar, had passed away and didn’t come back, despite having plenty of lives left. Cats were split. Some wanted to settle down and make the best of the new land. Others wanted to continue. The clan had a decision to make. Most of them chose to stay and make a home for themselves. A small group decided to leave in search for Starclan.
The clan made their home in a taiga forest. The majority abandoned their beliefs and old traditions they held so dearly a moon ago. After what had happened, they couldn't believe their ancestors would be so cruel. They focused their energy on trying to find their way creating a new way of life in the meantime.
Pineclan cats are generally larger than normal cats. They also have thicker, longer fur to survive the harsh chilly winds in the taiga. The cats have to adapt their ways of fighting and hunting in order to deal with the larger prey and predators. ~ ~ ~ History
Auroraclan used to live peacefully tucked away in the heart of a forest. They cherished the warrior code and lived strictly by it. A lifestyle enforced by their honorable leader Owlstar, who relentlessly placed her trust in Starclan. This period of serenity ended when a great fire struck the clan’s territory. It is said that only through the efforts of the deputy at the time, Wolftalon, could everyone escape from the camp.
When the clan was safe and out of the fire’s reach, they discover that many of their friends and family had been lost. Many patrols were send back to the ruins of their home to find their lost members. Most patrols came back emptied pawed. The clan started to realize the chances of finding their kin was unlikely and, with the current state of their territory, they couldn’t stay searching forever. The whole forest they had once known as home was ashes. There was no prey or herbs for the cats to support themselves. No one would last for long.
Therefore, Owlstar made the decision to move on. She assured the clan that Starclan would guide their paws to a new home. However, almost all the cats had lost or were losing their faith in Starclan. They were angry that Starclan didn’t warn them about the fire and the cats hadn’t heard a word from them afterward. Still, most followed the leader as she could be trusted and hadn't failed them before.
~ ~ ~ Rules General Rules: Follow the forum rules. Be kind. No god-modding. No mary/garysuing. No kit____ing of any kind. No spamming
Activity: I would like for everyone to get on and rp at least once a week. At one week of inactivity you will receive a warning. At two weeks of inactivity you will be deleted but you may rejoin just not in an important position. However, I understand this is not always a possibility. If you are unable to be active for a little while just send me a heads up. This being said if you have an important role in the clan/plot I expect you to be more active and if you are gone for awhile I may temporarily assign someone to play your role.
OCC: Be sure to clearly separate out of character chat. Using any (), [], or {} are all fine. I do not care if you chat while you are role-playing . I don't mind a small amount of chatting without role-playing however, if it is a whole bunch I will ask that you take it elsewhere.
Literacy: This is a semi-literate role-play. Please no one-liners. I would like to see a minimum of a three line average per post. This being said sometimes a shorter response is alright. I am not a English major so I understand, but please refrain from major misspelled words all the time. Just make sure that your post are easily understandable.
Plots: Generally, I will be making/finalizing all of the major plot lines. However, I encourage everyone to send me any ideas for any plot lines. If there is a sub plot you wish to do just send it to me for approval! As for any minor plot lines you are free to do so (ex. Love triangles or a patrol that encounters a predator), but if it affects the whole clan then it will require approval.
Joining: Please make sure that you understand that this role-play is transition into a tribe. When creating your cats, they must have flaws. For example if your cat is really nice make him/her naive or obnoxious. No one likes a perfect cat and it makes for a boring role play. There is no character limit but be sure that you can handle the amount you create. Think quality over quantity. For every she-cat you must make a tom-cat and vice versa. And for every apprentice create a warrior so we do not end up with a clan of apprentices.
Most importantly: Have fun!

Territory
Auroraclan has chosen to make their home in a taiga biome. Most of their territory is made up of a dense forest. There is a mountain range to the East of Auroraclan’s territory. The closer to the East border the rougher the terrain gets. There is a river that runs from North to South and empties into the lake.
Swift River: There is a river that from the North through the territory and feeds into the lake in the South. The river is named for the swift rapids that it contains. Because of this, the river is very dangerous and young apprentices are not allowed to go near it alone. Even the calm parts of the river have strong undercurrents.
The Lost Cave: (Currently Undiscovered) The Lost Cave is hidden within the mountains towards the East of the clan. The walls within the cave are covered with symbols that have been painted on. The meaning or reason behind these symbols is currently unknown.
The Lake: The lake makes up most of Auroraclan’s South border and tends to freeze over during the winter. In the summer, cats can fish. There is a beach that runs along the lake. The cats use this area for training or relaxing.
Camp: The camp is located on the East side of the clan. It is formed by a dip in the ground that is surrounded by rocks. This helps protect the cats from the chilly air that sweeps the territory.
~ ~ ~ Camp
The camp is located on the East side of the clan. It is formed by a dip in the ground that is surrounded by rocks. This helps protect the cats from the chilly air that sweeps the territory. The camp is currently under construction. There is a temporary den set up between two rocks for the queens and elders to sleep in. The rest of the cats sleep under the stars close together for warmth. The cats are currently in the process of digging and clearing out the dens.

Herbs
Garlic - Prevents infection by rolling in a patch or sleeping on the leaves. Easily identifiable by smell. Wort - Helps colds and stomach problems if the petals are chewed and eaten. May also lift cat's spirit. Do not offer more than a few petals. Commonly a tall plant with narrow leaves and yellow flowers. Chamomile - Sooth sore throats if petals are chewed and swallowed. White flower bunches found in the spare sections of the forest. Stinging nettles - The seeds are eaten by a cat who's swallowed poison so they will through up. The leaves and stems are chewed into a poultice for a wound. The stems develop sharp 'fur' which will hurt if not removed. Tall stalks of these plants with jagged leaves grow at the tree line of the lake. Cobwebs - Old spider webs applied to wound to absorb blood. Appear most anywhere. Tormentil - Its root can be chewed and applied on wound for treating all wounds and extracting poison. Grows in wild clumps near the mountains. Best time to harvest is when it's yellow flowers blossom. Raspberry leaves - Ease pain and slows bleeding if leaves are eaten. Useful during kitting. Grow deep in the forest and protected by thorns. The leaves are thorn free. Aronia - Black berries eaten to help digestion and breathing. Bushes found near the lake. Dill - Steams are eaten to help the mother's milk to come and to calm a cat. Tall stalks found sparingly where the forest meets the mountain. Clover - Eat leaves and stems to cure coughs and relieve joint pain. Found in large, green patches in the forest. Willow - Chew bark to relieve pain and eat leaves to stop vomiting. Trees found near the lake. Wintergreen - Chew leaves and use the mush to put on the wound to draw out poison and prevent infection. Small plant with bright red berries are found near the mountains. Lamb's Ear - Leaves can be eaten to give a cat strength. A low-lying, soft plant found near the mountains.

Maybe the territory/camp?
Can you make maps? I could but more likely that not it would look a two year old did it and i'd rather stick with descriptions. xD

I know of a map maker or two, and would like to try to make a map. Any landmarks? Were should be the place to connect to the ancient tribe?

Maybe that is in the mountains that are going to be in the west

Oh wait. I think it was the east?

Post by zero on Dec 9, 2017 19:16:37 GMT -5
I think it was the east, but either way is fine. It would be cool if it was in a cavern and the walls were decorated with pictures.

Yeah like the cave paintings! And they could tell the story of the cats that used to live there.

Yup. yup. So I'll make the map and you'll do the descriptions?

Does The Lost Cave sound good for a name?
Also, should they have a name for the lake and/or river?

Post by farside on Dec 9, 2017 20:44:48 GMT -5
Yes it does!
River of the forgotten?

Post by zero on Dec 9, 2017 20:53:58 GMT -5
It sounds cool. Just a bit off. I'm not sure why they would call it the river of the forgotten. Maybe Swift River because of the rapids? Or grey river because melting glaciers turn the rivers grey/white.

Yeah. I can't quite think of the word that I'm looking for.
But swift river is good.
