Hey everyone! So it's been awhile since I've done a 4 Clan RP but I'd love to do it again! I just finished Dawn of The Clans and I honestly forgot how good Warriors is and the series inspired me to do another one of these!! So here I am!
Take note that I am a uni/college student (3rd year come August, I'm 19) with a part time job (roughly 20 hour work week), so it may be hard for me to be SUPER active, but having a 4 Clan set up would be easier so I can appoint some mods for when I am unable to be on sometimes!! Luckily I still have a month left of summer, so work will be the only thing getting in the way until school starts back up!!
Anyway, four Clans. I'll basically have a list on this post on everything we have! If you want to be a leader of a Clan, which will also make you an admin of the RP, let me know how active you are!
And for everyone becoming a part of this, tell me how active you can be, what role you want in this, and what nickname you'd like to go by!
RP Members | User | Nickname | RP Role | Admin # if applicable | * I will add admin #, no need for you to do so! c: * EDIT: ALL ADMINS FILLED!
Me | Spottie | Leader of _____Clan | Admin 1 |
| ʀᴀɪɴʟᴇᴀғ 🍁 | Rain/Rainy/Rainers | Leader of ______Clan | Admin 2 |
| nettle | Nettle | Leader of ____Clan | Admin 3 |
| Vᴇʟᴠᴇᴛᴇᴇɴ🍁Wᴏʟғ | Storm, Starling, Petal, Velvet, Wolf, etc.| Leader of ____Clan| Admin 4|
| Squirrelflight99 | Squirrel | Deputy of ____Clan; Medicine Cat of ___Clan |
Clans I don't really have a theme for names yet, but feel free to suggest some!! Leaving most of this pretty open to discussion so everyone can contribute a little!!

History of the Clans
- stuff here -
Plot?? Just enough to get the RP started. I've had experiences with starting RPs without much plot and they usually die out due to boredom. So some form of plot would help get it rolling from the getgo.
This is all I have for now! Let's get this started! :3

| ʀᴀɪɴʟᴇᴀғ 🍁 | Rain/Rainy/Rainers | One of the admins perhaps? | Admin # if applicable | I can do many things for the role-play. I can design coding for layouts in addition to graphics. (if you want examples, I can provide plenty) I can also write and edit information for the Clans. I'm not the greatest with maps, but with enough time, I can attempt to create a decent one. I hope I filled out the form correctly, I'm perfectly okay with changing things to better suit what you're wanting. I am Central time, and I am typically on almost everyday with some exceptions here and there.

Oh hey Rain!! good to see ya! c: Graphics and Clan info would be great, as those two are what I'm not the best at!! I'll add you as admin 2!
Also, I am PST. So three hours behind the forum EST time. I try to post once a day on everything, and I'll do my best to let people know when I won't be on much on a certain day. Honestly liking my posts or tagging me is a great way to make sure I respond to things as I forget to check sometimes!
Basically the first thing I'd like to sort out is the Clans. Some sort of name theme and like how they came about etc.

Sorry I poofed! I just recently flew back into the US and I'm still a bit jet-lagged from it.
Awesome, thanks! It's good to see you as well! If you need to me to come up with ideas, I'll try my best!
I'll keep a note of that, thanks for letting me know.
One common route that I see people go would be that they were once one Clan/group and split off. While I'm unsure how we'd stray away from it, I think the theme should at least be related to their territory somehow. Maybe they are named after specific and special animals in their territory or there are plenty of these kind of trees. Something other than Clan leaders, as it's very common with multi-Clan role-plays and I personally followed the trend for my last two Clans and want to take a break.
Another route we can go for history is to make them seem like they have been standing up since the dawn of time. Perhaps they had to leave their old territory and old tales were lost as well as how they originally began. This would interfere with an idea I had that involved creating a bit of actual history, detailing different reigns from one point until the present, but it really depends on how much information you want to have provided. If they did move, then we'd have to make the territories similar to their old ones depending on the theme of the names.

Ah no worries! Jetlag is the worst DX
Ooh yeah I like the idea of naming the Clans after certain animals in their territory! It all just depends on what kind of terrain they have. I lowkey am interested in them being in some sort of rainforest area? I haven't seen that done a ton, unless you have??
I think the best bet for history is the legends going so far back most cats can't trace it back or remember. That could open up some room for creativity and discoveries tbh which would be fun!
And what do you suggest instead of Clan leaders?

| @nettles | Nettle is fine! | One of the admins, I suppose | Admin # if applicable |
I have a lot of free time, firstly. I work part-time (about 5-6 hours at the most), monday-saturday, with some days off. I like organizing and creating lore, and I've created fanclans in the past, though I've never posted about them. Just a note, I do have a major depressive disorder, so sometimes I'll have so little energy I won't be up to talking, but I'll let you know beforehand.

Hi Nettle!! So far Rain and I are starting to develop ideas for what the Clans are and how they came about! Feel free to jump in!
And don't worry about the depressive disorder, I completely get it. c:

If you're not using clan leaders, maybe they can have a council of 3-4 cats in each clan who make the decisions? As for deciding them, maybe they're voted for by clanmates, or it simply passes on to the oldest warriors in the clan? Or maybe even the elders are the ones who make the important decisions!
As for clan names... colors, their main prey, trees/plant life

Ooh that might be interesting. Kind of like a republic in a way. No real "dictator". I like the idea of elders helping choose the "council", or maybe StarClan ancestors come down to choose councilmembers if cats die or retire?? That could be interesting since leaders are usually initiated and guided by StarClan.

And if multiple lives are retained, maybe the 9 lives are split evenly between the three members of the council? It really depends on if we would want the members changing more often than note. I like the idea of elders still having an active role in the clan, though if we decide to have Starclan pick them, then maybe medicine cats travel to share tongues with Starclan whenever a council member dies (or retires, if retiring is permitted) so they can tell them who should be placed on the council next? (I could even see an interesting plot spring from this. Say, a power-hungry warrior wanting a place on the council, so they threaten the medicine cat into saying Starclan chose them?)

Omg that would be so cool! Medicine cats find who will be the next councilmembers, and the new ones have to travel to receive their three lives.
And yes omg I can easily see that happening! X3

If we do rainforest, we could do tribe/monarch ranks. I think that will make roles easier to fill without potential fighting about someone stepping on the admin's toes. I actually have a decent idea based off of Game of Thrones. And instead of using "ExampleClan" we could use "Clan of Example." If you're interested in that, I cangive a run down of the whole ranking idea. O3O

King Pretty self-explanatory. Chosen heir among the previous King and Queen's kits. Main duties are to see over official business, lead the charge into battle, has three lives instead of nine. If he's dethroned, his lives are taken back and he is banished. He is the head of the council. If he retires and steps down, he becomes part of the council.
Queen Mate of the king, only chosen to be heir if there are no male kits in the previous King and Queen's litter. Holds less power than the King but still performs similar acts and stands in for him when he cannot complete duties. She is easier to dethrone than the King and any kits she has that are not above twelve moons are considered bastards.
Heirs Pretty self-explanatory. Chosen among the King and Queen's kits. Must learn to rule. Female heirs are uncommon, often arranged into the royal family.
King's Claw & Queen's Paw The King’s Paw is the right paw warrior of the king. The Queen’s Paw is the right paw warrior of the queen. They are to protect the royal family, even if it means their life. They are commonly chosen at birth from a Soothsayer’s litter, the previous Claw and Paw’s own litter, or from one of the Lord's kits. They advise the royal couple and set up patrols. Unfortunately, the Paw and Claw is always the cat who handles the dirty work. If a cat is to be executed, either one will do it.
Soothsayer Interpreting prophecies, omens, and healing the Clan when they have sick or wounded soldiers are the main tasks of the Soothsayer. There are two Soothsayers in FawnClan. They may have mates and kits, but one of the kits must become a Soothsayer. They are highly respected, as they can impact Clan decisions as much as dethroning the royal couple. In some aspects, the Soothsayers are feared.
The Council The Council is made up of elders, lords, ladies, and senior warriors who the King and Queen feel will advise them wisely. During trials for Clan members, they will listen to both sides of the case. Then, they will help the royal couple decide on a verdict and punishment. In the absence of the royal family, they will decide the verdict and the punishment. The Council holds much respect of the Clan and are often viewed as right by the majority of the Clan. Unfortunately, this knowledge can be used to their advantage is they wished. They are often led by the King Dowager and/or the Queen Dowager.
Lords Lord are the heads of the different Kin in FawnClan. They are responsible for all activities in their appropriate season and the actions of their Kin. They are highly respected like the King’s Paw. They take part in the Council and are among the first to follow their king into battle. Lords follow the same path as the heir for the throne, but the heir is trained by their father or eldest male relative.
Ladies Ladies are the heads of the different Kin in FawnClan. They help assist in activities with their mate and produce heirs. They are responsible for teaching the female heir the ways of a lady. They are also the ones to arrange the marriages for their daughters with the help of their mate.
Mothers & Warriors Mothers are an obvious rank. They are either expecting or nursing kits. Mothers can come from any rank and are treated with respect during the time they are expecting up until they leave the nursery. Once they leave, they are treated as they were before becoming pregnant. As soon as a she-cat discovers she is expecting, she is bound to the camp or escorted by their mate or kin if they leave camp. In FawnClan, there are no permanent mothers. Warriors make up the majority of the Clan. They hold no real power. They are the middle ground. They can climb in power by showing strength or becoming a mate of a high-standing cat. Warriors are expected to train, fight, mentor, and hunt for the Clan.
Bastards Bastards are the illegitimate kits or the former lords, ladies, kings, heirs, and queens of the Clan. They have either been born in the rank by their parents being disgraced or just being unlucky. They have little to no chance of climbing up in their world. Bastards are treated with disrespect and are given the simple jobs of cleaning the dens. They are also sent into battle first, as they are seen as expendable.
The Clan this comes from is an original Clan of mine called FawnClan. The have four main families called Kins, similar to the Houses in GOT.

I'm trying to think of other terrains so we can pick and choose. You probably don't want a normal forest, but depending on the area, we can certainly have a mix of land for everyone to choose from. I'll be honest, I'm not sure how a rainforest role-play would hold up in winter.
Also, if I come off too strong, let me know. I tend to get a bunch of muse and throw ideas and stuff.

No honestly I'm so glad you're doing this! These ideas are really good!!
I LOVE this hierarchy. It's so different and definitely does give off GOT vibes XP It would bring so many interesting plots and characters! Also I noticed you mentioned marriages in it? Do they have legit cat weddings and stuff? XD Now this is interesting.
I'm not the most knowledgable with terrain and territory so you can throw out ideas if you have any thoughts. I just thought a rainforest thing would be cool since it's not really done.

I never really specified a ceremony, huh.. It's just that they are arranged by parents. The Kin I had written down followed the cycle of the seasons (as they worshiped spirits) and the kin relating to the season opposite of the current season or the past season would join the kin of current season or upcoming. I'm willing to get proper ceremonies going if we do go with this idea.
Thank you. ;3; I'm glad you like it. I'll come up with some ideas in the morning. It's about three here and I'm super tired. Good night!

That would be interesting to see legit mating ceremonies in this society.. So since this is a four Clan thing, how would the Kin thing work exactly in that aspect? This hierarchy is so interesting!
Alrighty! I should be off to bed too, it's 1am here haha X3 Night!

Well, we could probably lower it to three, excluding the royal Kin. So four in total. Warriors would just fill in the gaps. I forgot to mention they do also have suffixes unique to their Kin, but that may be difficult in a four Clan setting.. Unless everyone is fine with repeats and shortening them.
I'm thinking of terrain and the only thing I can think of is maybe basing them on the Smoky Mountains if we don't do rainforest?

Okay that's interesting. So would they have the same suffix their entire life as opposed to the traditional Clan setup?
Yeah mountains might be better tbh. It might be difficult with rainforest.
