twin clans rp planning Imagine a world where instead of there being four clans or just one, there is a pair of clans. Originally founded by a pair of litter-mates who argued about how to rule over a group of like-minded cats, these two clans are a duality of sorts.
ideas?

Definitive Ideas -- dual clans with a dual theme the clan of wintertide the clan of summertide norse clans norse clan beliefs norwegian forest cats =v= sister clans very far from each other connected, if only through a shared culture and shared dreams there is a great evil rising that causes both clans to have to come together to stop it Wintertide run by Ƭιɗυѕ Summertide run by Sierra Ranks as follows: Leader, Seer, Healer, Seer's Apprentice, Healer's Apprentice, Warriors, Warrior Apprentices, Mothers, Kits, and the Wise Seer acts like a second in command and is the clans true link to their ancestors and paragons when a good warrior dies they go to a great clan in the sky to be honored for all eternity when evil cats die they go to an evil place to wander in solitude for the rest of their days some warriors that are of a different level, good in this case, gain special privileges and power after death -- the ancient ones that gained this privileges became the first paragons; Odin, Thor, Freyr, Freya, Odur... even Loki. There are some very evil cats that end up in an even darker forest, meant to be tormented by that which they did in life for the rest of eternity
Each clan has an animal "spirit" protector; Skoll the white wolf for Wintertide and Hati the red wolf for Summertide

I was thinking someplace north and cold or high up and cold And some place south and low and warm.

I was thinking someplace north and cold or high up and cold And some place south and low and warm. So wait. Wouldn't these clans be near one another? There wouldn't be that much difference in climate between two bordering territories, I don't think.

True... Hmm... Unless it was a mountain and a nearby lower area. Even then though. Hmmm...

What you could do, if you want the territories strikingly different, is have one on the side of a mountain -- Thin undergrowth, evergreen trees, highland meadows, etc., and one in the valley below -- Thicker brush, deciduous trees, maybe a lake. The weather would still be pretty much the same, but the duality thing is still intact.

{{ I don't have many good ideas, but certain things such as Summerclan, Winterclan... Though I really like the ideas in which the clans would be completely opposite in their habitats, prey, predators. I think that would make it quite interesting, and I'm not sure if you're planning on doing this, but will you make different customs/traditions for each?

I was, actually. I was thinking of similarities and differences would pull it together
OH. OH. Idea. Sumerclan and Winterclan. Two clans moons away from each other, but connected through the dreams of some prophesied cats (or maybe an animal "spirit" protecter -- Hati and Skoll for instance).... Meant to bring the clans together.

{{ Ooh that'd be really cool actually! I think it'd make it really unique if we did incorporate some aspects of mythology into it, and added distinct cultures so that it really feels like you're in Summerclan/Winterclan/whatever it will be called instead of just another regular clan.

Maybe something With Norse, considering the wolves. Like Summerclan being like a Vanaheim place with their patrons being like, Freya and Frey while Winterclan is like, Asgard incarnate.
Idk i have so many ideas.

Did you want it to be named Summer and Winter, or would you prefer finding theme words in place for them like that fits the theme for winter. Like Brumalclan? Or maybe they are know as just clans, like the Clan of the Summertide, and the clan of the Wintertide?
Hello Sierra!

{{ I like that it sounds unique! Kind of like the tribes.
As for territories, we could have one near the seas and forests, and the other up with the mountains... I don't think they'll have powers, but they can each value different things - storm, snow, etc., so their lifestyle and customs can be based on that.

I really like the tribe-esque names.
Also, I imagine that both clans would have patron gods and goddesses. Or maybe 'ancient ones'. Freyr and Freya and the Vanir for the Summertide clan, Odin and his Æsir for Wintertide. Maybe the ancient ones are seen as cats ascended into power after life, becoming powerful personifications of certain aspects of their Clan cultures and terrain.

{{ Sounds good. Maybe they have a similar "afterlife" as Starclan but also of Norse mythology, perhaps something like a great hall that welcomes all good warriors or something similar - though the legendary gain certain privileges?

So basically Starclan = Valhalla/Neflheim and The Dark Forest = Helheim

Post by Ƭιɗυѕ on Jan 24, 2018 21:40:18 GMT -5
Could probably change it up
Think like.... Chief, Second in Command, and Healer. Or Chief, Second, prophet and healer. Or they are the same.

Or maybe the healer/prophet and the leader re combined, like the tribes

{{ Ooh, I like the idea of a prophet. It'd be cool if they took more of a spiritual role than medicine cats do, though. I suppose it's up to you if you want to combine the roles though, but I feel as though if a person had a character that was all three, it might give them a little too much power?

What if the prophet is the second in command? Like it would go -- leader, prophet, healer, prophet's heir and healer's heir, warriors, the learning, the mothers, kits, and the old ones.

{{ Sounds good! We could substitute since "the learning" and "the old ones" since they're quite literal, unless you want to keep them of course! I was thinking maybe like the "novice" or "cadets", and then maybe the "ancients" or the "wise"? Your choice, though!

What if instead of the term prophet it would be Seer, or oracle. Since I think for vikings that is what they were called.

Seer. Apprentices. Wise. Technically the vikings had Apprentices.
