Wow, this is new but very cool, I'm a big fan. Hi, I'm a very new member to these fourms, but roleplaying like this was something I did a lot when I was a kid and it was A LOT of fun. I actually came here from FeralFront, where I had an old account but I found that I really dislike what it's become and how it no longer involves the topic that it originally got popular off of. I was an original member of that site from 2012 when it was simply known as "Warrior Cats RPG". Now recently after diving back into my childhood, I thought, "Hey, it'd be fun to remake an old thread of mine". So here I am. Remaking it. I decided to redraw some of my old cringey warrior cats art and ended up getting really invested in my memories and thinking back on my favorite aspects of the books. That reminded me of an old thread that I made years back after I had finished reading "The Last Hope". I guess I must have deleted the thread because I can't find it now, but I do remember some aspects of it and how legitimate it seemed. I haven't read A Vision of Shadows and I honestly really don't plan to ever but I did read a few spoilers and let me say: It sucks. Now this is my personal opinion, so don't get offended. Personally, I think that it's poorly written, its plot twists are either predictable or just stupid, and the new generation of characters are forgettable or unlikable. Well most of them. A lot of the older cats and not so older cats from the past arcs were either killed off or taken out of the picture somehow. This sucks. And it sucks so much because the older characters cushioned the transition of newer characters which gradually made the newer characters more likable and familiar. I feel like now there are new cats literally everywhere and new kittens LITERALLY EVERYWHERE and they're all irrelevant. That's what REALLY SUCKS about it. All of the new cast of characters are completely irrelevant. They're not interesting, they give nothing to the plot, and honestly if they didn't exist, nothing would change. The books now put a large emphasis on specific characters which I think really takes away from the idea behind the series, which is the clan as a whole. In the past there were definitely characters that were more important and more significant than others, but I felt like even though there were obvious main characters, I still took a liking to a lot of the other side characters in Thunderclan and out of Thunderclan. Maybe it's because I haven't really read the new arc, but I don't really get that feeling and I don't think a lot of other people do either. Also all of the important characters are given leadership roles and/or their mates or siblings are given leadership roles and that urks me. The one thing I will praise the new arc on is their revisiting of Skyclan, which was something my past thread predicted and something I want to reintroduce in this one! But even then, the introduction to that whole prophecy is really really not good. But anyways, this isn't about my opinion on the new arc, it was just my reasoning as to why I came here to make this thing. I thought about how much more I favored my old thread and the ideas that were formed with it. I thought it was more interesting and I wanted to see if I could recreate it to make it even better! So, without further ado, here we be.
☆ AFTER THE LAST HOPE ☆
Hi! This is my very first time on this site, so please forgive me if I seem a bit naive, I'm trying to learn. Anyway, welcome to one of my first thread on WCRP Fourms, it's cool to be here. In case you decided not to read my disclaimer above, this thread was inspired not only as a remake of an older thread I made years back on another site, but also as a reinvention of the newest Warrior Cats arc, which I unfortunately really really dislike. But that's just my opinion. As the title suggests, this RP is placed a few months after the events of "The Last Hope", the last book of the Omen of the Stars arc. As in my past thread, this places in the clan environment where we'll see how each clan has adapted since the major battle between the living and the dead. Old characters are returning as well as an introduction to new characters, but unlike the newest arc, these characters will be given a gradual introduction. This means a new prophecy, as well as new adventures, new relationships and old, new threats, and new tensions. I want this RP to seem legitimate. I want it to have all of the aspects that it lacked in the new arc. I want all of our ideas on what we wanted and expected to happen after this book to come together into this thread. It's exciting to recreate something like this and a lot of fun too. You could take this as whatever you want it to be. It could an AU, it could be a "What/If" situation, or it could be your escape from the reality of A Vision of Shadows if you dislike it as much as I do. I just want to have fun and bond over something that was a huge part of my childhood. Again, keep in mind that this is completely a reinvention of what actually happened after The Last Hope. This means that whatever DID actually happen no longer exists, at least not in this universe. It's completely up to us to mold the story. So let's jump right into it!

☆ Allegiances ☆
As scripted in the books, here are the characters that will be actively played in this RP. Unlike the books, however; this RP will focus on ALL of the clans and their problems, not just one. This allows for a lot more perspective and insight into the daily lives of each clan. As you see, I've modified the clans a bit, based on not only the accounted deaths in The Last Hope, but also what I thought would be most appropriate for the timespan. Some characters have passed away or retired, others have had kits in the time being who now live as apprentices, and others are expecting kits currently! There are A LOT of cats to choose from, so feel free to choose up to about 4-5 from each position from each clan or any clan if you feel like you can handle it. However, I have to restrict higher positions like leader/deputy. I'll go into further detail in the rules section.

☆ Relationships ☆
This tab is sort of meant to be a helpful one for your own personal use. Here you can see all of the different relationships between the clans and their members. This includes siblings, parents, mentors, apprentices, mates, and even crushes. This will also help to prevent any accidental incest. I know they're cats and stuff like that doesn't really matter when you're a cat, but they're already really personified and I think it'd be easier to avoid those sort of technicalities. Also, I'm fully aware that some of these relationships are similar to those in A Vision of Shadows and I'm also fully aware that some relationships from A Vision of Shadows are absent. It's either based off of coincidence or the prior canon or just cats that I personally ship myself oops.

☆ Fun Headcanons ☆
You don't have to follow these headcanons, but I thought it'd be fun to maybe play around with them to an extent for those to play these specific characters. These are also kind of based off of the Erins' interpretations of the characters. Anyone can add onto this, it's all in good fun!
☆ Blossomfall feels a bit of resentment towards Millie because of how she negltected her in favor of Briarlight
☆ Millie retired from being a warrior because Graystripe did
☆ Briarlight desperately wanted to be of use to her clan, so she begged Jayfeather to be his apprentice
☆ Dovewing is still torn between Bumblestripe and Tigerheart, but is dedicated to her clan and therefore Bumblestripe
☆ Dovewing often feels guilty knowing how much Bumblestripe loves her
☆ Because of how his father treated him, Breezepelt gives his son little to no attention
☆ Mothwing retried from her position as medicine cat due to her disbelief in Starclan and felt that Willowshine would be better suited. Because of this, many of her clanmates ridicule her.

☆ Rules ☆
Here is a list of rules that you'll need to follow in order to participate in the RP. If you violate them, I'll give you a warning but I honestly doubt that anyone would intentionally neglect my guidelines! They're here to make the RP an enjoyable and friendly environment.
☆ Please make sure to follow the rules of the fourms strictly, they're there for a reason
☆ Since this is taking place in a Warriors setting, appropriate phrases are necessary (Insults/Times of day/Seasons/etc.)
☆ Do not kill someone's character without their permission
☆ These characters are not overpowered, do not keep them from being hit continuously or forcing your opponent to get hit when in battle
☆ No Godmodding, Mary sues, etc. Characters are meant to have flaws. When you're developing these characters, make sure you're staying true to the character while also making them unique, but flawed.
☆ No Godmodding, Mary sues, etc. Characters are meant to have flaws. When you're developing these characters, make sure you're staying true to the character while also making them unique, but flawed.
☆ There are a lot of cats available, so I'll allow everyone up to 4-5 characters from each clan if they think they can handle it. HOWEVER, positions like deputy and leader are restricted because they hold so much power over the clan. You may not have more than one leader or deputy and you may not have a leader AND a deputy.
☆ You must be active, the RP depends on everyone
☆ I think everyone finds it helpful to have something to reply to, so it'd be much appreciated if each posts had about 3-5 sentences minimum. This means about 3-5 sentence for each character you include in your post.
☆ Keep in mind that this is a completely separate universe from A Vision of Shadows, so refrain from comparing the two. I also ask that you refrain from bringing characters from A Vision of Shadows into this rp. I want it be different and unique, that's the point of this thread.
☆ If two characters have kits, those roleplayers are responsible for roleplaying those kits. However, they can allow other roleplayers to roleplay them if they ant, but permission must be granted first.
☆ Leaders are responsible for apprentice and warrior ceremonies. Likewise, Medicine cats are responsible for their apprentices' ceremonies.
☆ Gatherings happen every once in a while
☆ Refrain from spamming
☆ You don't have to sign up for any of the cats, just request them and I'll give them to you. However, if your character has kits, I'd really appreciate a description so I can add them to the allegiances & relationships.
☆ Your characters can be mean to each other all they'd like, but I wont tolerate any personal bullying
☆ Don't go ahead with any big plots that include the entire clan without my permission first
☆ I'm super open to any ideas, so if you have one that you'd think be a cool addition, just hmu
☆ Divide between different clans by using "-------"s in between your paragraphs. For example, if I was roleplaying as Bramblestar and Squirrelflight from Thunderclan and Onestar from Windclan, I would use this format:
"Bramblestar dialogue and action"
"Squirrelflight dialogue and action"
------------
"Onestar dialogue and action"
☆ Always give recaps if asked
☆ Keep this PG, especially the romance. Violence i'm more lenient with because it's included excessively in the books, but sex scenes are incredibly uneccessary
☆ Use "[]", "{}", or "()" when speaking out of character
☆ Have fun and be creative!

☆ The Prophecy ☆
It wouldn't be Warriors without a vague prophecy. Although, it has to be a good one for the writing to work properly.
"The Briar's thorn must reach the Sky, the four Great Clans must sacrifice their lives, only then will they find true peace and finally thrive."
---------
Briarlight bounded across starry fields, her hindlegs thrusting her entire body forward. She felt energized, her whiskers quivered with excitement. She eventually stopped in her tracks and flopped down on her side in exhaustion. She let out a few deep breaths, laughing every once in a while. She had forgotten what it was like to run endlessly and never stop. She forgot what it felt like to be truly free with no restrictions and no handicaps. It seemed like lifetimes since she had felt this exhilarated. After a few more moments, she shuffled to her paws and let out a long stretch. Her tail swayed from side to side and she wiggled her hindquarters in the air a bit in order to prepare herself for her next burst of energy. However, she quickly paused upon seeing a sudden flash of gray and white. Briarlight curiously tilted her head. "I thought it'd be only me here..." She muttered to herself. Cautiously, she crept towards where she saw the figure last. She heard her heart beating in her ears and dryly swallowed a nervous gulp. She was fully aware that the Dark Forest was gone now and was no longer a threat to the clan cats, but somehow she still had an underlying fear of the malicious, twisted group of dead souls. Regardless, the she-cat continued on. She finally reached the place where she spotted the cat last. She slowly raised her head to stare over the tall grass of the fields. She slowly turned her head to the right and then turned it to her left even slower. She let out a sigh of relief and circled back in order to return to where she once was. However, she was quickly stopped and scared out of her wits when she spotted a starry-eyed cat only a few inches from her muzzle. She observed the cat carefully but couldn't seem to figure who the she-cat was. She was a gray tabby with a few white assets here and there and a large feathery tail swooping behind her. "...W-Who are you?" Briarlight eventually forced out. The cat continued to stare at her gravely. Finally, she spoke.
"The Briar's thorn must reach the Sky, the four Great Clans must sacrifice their lives, only then will they find true peace and finally thrive."
Briarlight jerked up in her nest, her chest heaving up and down quickly. She looked around with wide, frightened eyes. The she-cat breathed for a few moments in an attempt to calm herself down. She rested her chin against her front paws, shutting her eyes in thought. What did that mean? She could only wonder. The she-cat shook her head and attempted to lift herself up but found it to be useless. She turned her head around to stare at her hindlegs, discovering that they were completely limp and worthless. She sighed in disappointment. Oh right... That was all a dream. There was nothing she could do about her legs now. At least she was still alive... That couldn't be said for a lot of cats. She decided to be grateful. Briarlight gave one last quick glance around the Medicine Cat's Den. Being a Medicine Cat isn't all bad. At least I'm not just lazing around all day. I have a legitimate reason to be in this den now. I'm helping my clan, that's all I could hope for with my condition. And Jayfeather is a decent denmate. He doesn't snore, so that's something. Shaking away her thoughts, Briarlight realized that she hadn't seen Jayfeather yet. He wasn't in their den when she woke up. Must be tending to some cats somewhere. I never know with him. He doesn't tell me a lot. Maybe he's just going easy on me.... I'm probably a burden on him, maybe it's more efficient if I just stay in the den while he tends to his duties. Briarlight couldn't help but think these self-depreciating thoughts. Ever since that incident, it's become almost second nature for her. She couldn't distract herself too much with her feelings of worthlessness, she had a job to do. She had to find her mentor. "Jayfeather! Jayfeather!" The crippled she-cat began to call. She dragged herself out of the den and into the clearing. She looked around at Thunderclan, all bustling and full of life. Ironic, considering what had taken place here only a few moons ago. "Has any cat seen Jayfeather?" She looked around in desperate need of assistance.
