Anything would be helpful if you guys help out! I was thinking maybe the clan could have something involving solar eclipses and traditions involving space and the stars, like something similar to zodiac signs.
Welp I need :
- coded layout for main page and joining page
- co-founder (must be active)
- plot
- traditions
- or anything else you could suggest

π―ππππ¦π±π£π―π¬π°π± please do! Is there anything you would recommend for the coding such as colors to fit the clanβs name or whatever youβd think would be good for the clanβs layout?

Iβm definitely thinking something bright, with shades of yellow and orange. If you donβt have any specific ideas, I can come up with something and see if you like it.

I'd be interested in helping, but I would also like to know more. Do you have anymore concrete ideas for the clan?

Alrighty, are you thinking that their traditions will be focused around the zodiac signs? Like, instead of Starclan they'd follow the zodiacs? Also I could see there being a major plot point during a solar eclipse. That kinda what you're thinking?

Yes letβs do that. For the zodiac signs, we should perhaps have the alternative of the dark forest, which would be hard to be make up. Perhaps, like you said about the solar eclipse, what would you think? Something not too cheesy for sure, like a dark force coming. Iβm thinking about like a curse will be upon a warrior depending on the actions they did. And then maybe good luck will be chosen for one warrior, and when you get the nine lives perhaps it could either be the zodiacs or like similar to warriors.

Hmmm you have a point. We could always split the main zodiacs into two groups, maybe three, kinda like good vs evil and an indifferent third group? A curse would be cool! Maybe there could be a prophecy that there would be two cats, one granted a gift while the other would be cursed. Are you thinking of adding some supernatural/fantasy aspects like powers and such?

So good : - Pisces - Virgo - Libra - Capricorn
Evil : - Leo - Sagittarius - Aries - Taurus -Scorpio
Indifferent : - Aquarius - Cancer - Gemini
Yes we should do that. For the good cat chosen, perhaps the leaders should tally a vote and call in every cat to see who should get the curse and who should get the gift? And when they get the most votes for the curse and the gift, they go to something similar to the moonstone and talk to the zodiacs and do the thing. This should happen every solar eclipse there is for sure. We should add supernatural creatures and perhaps mythical ones like unicorns etc.

That could work! If we wanted to make it less planned, maybe we could have the leader of the clan discover old cave writings or the medicine cat learn something from the zodiacs. It could be something like 'do this and a cat of your clan will be blessed with a great gift' however, that's not the whole story. If they were to do the ritual another cat would be cursed. Equivalent exchange sorta.
If we wanted to incorporate powers maybe we could have each kit be blessed by a zodiac when they become an apprentice and each zodiac will grant a different ability. If you like that we could do it based on water, earth, fire, and air signs, or come up with a special ability for each one. Like.. a cat blessed by Taurus would have more strength while a cat blessed by Leo would have enhanced speed.
Sorry for all the ideas, I just want to contribute all I can ^^

Thatβs great! We should need to research some of the attributes and common abilities each side has. We also have to add a flaw to each blessing, so it wonβt be a clan filled with Mary-sues and Gary-Stus. We should also have when a kit is born they should maybe have the zodiac sign imprinted on their leg, hip, behind the ear, or shoulder, but itβll be spawned randomly, so they know what sign they are

Good idea! If you wanted to go the apprentice route they could also get a mark when they are blessed under a sign.
Here are some ideas I have for abilities: Taurus: enhanced strength, based on the pure muscle of a bull Leo: enhanced speed, lions are considered fast in the big cats group Sagittarius: maybe super good vision because an archer needs to have an eagle eye of sorts Virgo: the medicine cats could be blessed by this, impressive healing abilities maybe Pisces: talented swimmers and fishers, maybe they could be able to breath underwater for a limited amount of time Cancer: cancer are generally described as maternal, so I was thinking that maybe they could have some sort of defensive ability like the ability to harden their fur or something along those lines. I haven't really thought of any others... these are just ideas feel free to shoot them down!

Oh, they could also maybe have physical changes? Like gaining horns, long claws, gills, etc??

Zodiacclan would work, I'll see if I can come up with anything else.
Some more ability ideas: Scorpio: I can see Virgo and Scorpio being at each others throats. Scorpio could have abilities based in poison and seduction while Virgo focus on healing. Libra: I'm not sure for this one, I was thinking maybe telling the future... but I want something better tbh. Maybe air manipulation? Gemini: shape-shifting Cancer: Capricorn: Aquarius:

For the layout, π―ππππ¦π±π£π―π¬π°π± maybe could involve space background, text white, and colors would be dark purple, navy blue, and black ? See if that could work rabbit! Libra : perhaps air manipulation or something involving reading minds or something Cancer : maybe this zodiac doesnβt have powers, but strong traits such as the zodiac signs can't possess like empathy, loyalty, passive, etc Capricorn : Maybe invisibility becuase when I think of Capricorn I think shy or camouflage like you said Aquarius : something involving nature Maybe we should also have some cats that have zodiacs signs but donβt have any abilities. But also if they are doing something really wrong (killing, revenge, betraying the clan) , the zodiac gods remove their zodiac symbol of their body and strip their powers and have the leader exile them

For the layout we want to make sure it's readable as well, just as a reminder.
Cancer could be a physical ability. Maybe they could have powerful paws/claws. Aquarius is also related to the sun, so maybe they could have something to do with light?
So I had another thought. We could have them have the four elemental abilities, and then depending on what sign they had they would get an additional on so if we use the earth signs as an example. Taurus: earth + enhanced strength, Capricorn: earth + camouflage, Virgo: earth + healing

Crap, true. So what should be the background?
We should do that! When itβs a warrior ceremony, what should they do? A private ritual with the leader, deputy, mentor, and the catβs parents , I was thinking. So we are sticking to the evil, good, and indifferent groups right?

Post by ππππππππππππ on May 25, 2018 16:38:21 GMT -5
Well if we wanted to do a space background we could just make the text white, so as long as the background isn't obnoxiously colored (like super bright and stuff) you should be fine!
That works, then they can announce it to the clan like a normal ceremony if you want. As for the good and evil, I was thinking that we should choose one to two that are 'evil' and say that cats are no longer blessed by those gods. If you are blessed by one of those gods you will either be thrown from the clan or carefully watched. What do you think? I was thinking we could have Cancer, since we haven't thought of a power for it yet, and maybe Scorpio or Aquarius. I'm hesitant to say Scorpio because I think having the Scorpio vs Virgo dynamic would be fun and we wouldn't be able to do that if there were no Scorpio cats.

Maybe the private ceremony for the blessed and the cat chosen to be good as well with the cursed cats. Letβs replace Scorpio with another zodiac. I was thinking also the zodiac gods would show what some catβs signs are compatible to other signs,but cats could choose their mates as their own, but itβs their decision in the end

And maybe also what should we do with outsiders that join the clans? Should they be symbolless or gain it further on with the clan and gain their blessing etc.

Post by ππππππππππππ on May 25, 2018 16:49:20 GMT -5
So, I just want to clarify, are they going to know who the cursed cat is? You were saying that they would choose them, and that's fine of course, but I feel like it might take away from the mystery of the whole thing. I was thinking more along the lines of the gifted cat is known but the curse is almost like a roulette wheel and could be anyone. That's just an idea of course! I'm up for anything really.

Should they be symbolless or gain it further on with the clan and gain their blessing etc. Hmmm they could probably gain a blessing, but it would be rare? It depends on where we want to place the clan. Is it more shut off from the outside world so no rouges/loners would be around or is it around other cats?

Post by risotto nero's luvr on May 25, 2018 16:51:05 GMT -5
That honestly sounds better. So it would be chosen randomly? And maybe when the solar eclipse and curse thing was about to happen, the cursed one would have their symbol glow

ππππππππππππ I think it would be rare then. It shouldnβt be isolated, but it wouldnβt be close to humans or other cats, unless one cat or someone finds them

Ok so what we have so far. Let me know if I messed something up or missed something.
- Cat's will be blessed by a zodiac when they turn seven moons. After that they will be trained by a warrior that also has their zodiac sign. - What zodiac you are is shown by a tattoo that appears on the characters body. - Scorpio and Virgo have a rivalry. Cats of these groups tend not to get along. - Two zodiacs were said to have betrayed the group, outlawing them and banning them from blessing any cats. However, there are rare occasions where a cat will get blessed by one. If this happens the cat will either be banned from the clan or watched closely. What happens largely depends on the leader at the time. - Solar eclipses are known for granting one cat with a special gift. However, if the gift is granted and the ritual performed there is also a curse laid upon another cat. The cursed cat is unknown and can be anyone. - Zodiacs and their elements Fire Aries, Leo, Sagittarius
Earth Taurus, Virgo, Capricorn
Air Gemini, Libra, Aquarius
Water Cancer, Scorpio, Pisces (So did you want to have them to have elemental plus additional abilities, or just elemental, or simply the abilities we were talking about before?) - Outsiders are rare, but they are capable of gaining a blessing from a god.
