About
EvergreenClan is made up of large cats whose pelts typically range on the darker side of fur colors. They are most adept at climbing trees and catching birds, squirrels and chipmunks in the trees. As they mostly hunt in the trees they don't hunt as much prey that are landbound like rabbits, hares. While they might enjoy a lagomorph they're not easy to catch and don't seem as abundant in their territory as they are in the moorlands and meadows. They have a Spring which flows from the middle of their territory toward their shared border with ShadeClan. There are no fish to be found in the Spring, but it is a good source of fresh flowing water. The cats of EvergreenClan are well adapted to climbing trees and often win any jumping contests too that cats from other clans might challenge. While the clan doesn't live in the thickest, densest part of the forests they still don't get as much sunlight as some of the other clans that have far less trees if any.
They are not the least bit interested in kittypets, loners or rogues and are likely to chase them off. They might give a friendly warning at first, but if that warning isn't taken heed of they take little time in launching into battle to chase intruders out. They are also the most hostile toward Half-clan cats and will not hesitate to kick out a member of their own clan who has proved their disloyalty by taking a mate from another clan - if they ever find out. Mothers after all need not divulge information in regards to their kits father, but suspicion reigns supreme and their kits will no doubt have a difficult time of it. Still they would not wish harm to befall a kit and will allow another queen to take care of the kits after they kick their mother out. Or they will help escort the kits and their mother to one of the other clans or onto kittypet territory.
History
EvergreenClan is one of seven clans that came to be countless seasons ago when their ancestors were caught by twolegs and placed in large dens which could float on water (to the twolegs this would be the 11th century Norsemen). On these dens which floated on water for days and moons on end their ancestors caught rats and were given bits of fish by the twolegs when there were not enough rats as kits were born. Some of these cats and their kits escaped once the twolegs anchored in the New World and found themselves living in the wild like their long distant ancestors before them. Still others remained on the ships and returned again and again with other cats who were used to catch vermin on the floating twoleg dens.
One of the first cats to think it would be easier to live as a group rather than on ones own was Evangeline so named by the twolegs who traveled across the sun-drown place in their floating dens. Six others too thought of this and so they and Evangeline began their camps. Evangeline with the help of her littermate Mozart began EvergreenClan. Later on they were given nine lives by StarClan and so Evangeline became Evergreenstar for she had settled her camp in an Evergreen Forest near the lake.
EvergreenClan, on full moon nights visits with the other six clans that were born at the same time as their own ancestor, Boulderstar was given his nine lives. These clans are known as BreezeClan, BoulderClan, LakeClan, MeadowClan, ShadeClan and TorClan.
Rules
oo1. Forum rules. Please be sure to follow them.
oo2. Respect is to be given to everyone. Respect must be given to the rules too.
oo3. Be sure to include others in plots, or just let anyone jump in and see what happens.
oo4. In regards to activity I hope to see each individual on a minimum of thrice a week to roleplay. More-so for anyone holding an important role such as leader, deputy, medicine cat, or medicine cat apprentice. If one will need to be absent for over a week please let me know. Otherwise you'll be removed from the roleplay after a fortnight.
oo5. In regards to literacy we'd like to see proper capitalization, punctuation and spelling. Spell-check and Grammarly are your friends. However a few mishaps here and there can be overlooked. But please no 'txt speak' or the like. In OoC its fine.
oo6. Characters should have both weaknesses and strengths. No character is perfect nor the opposite. QUILTBAG+ characters are more than welcome to join. Please note however that while cats cannot have surgery they can still choose to use whatever pronouns they prefer. Just don't make this their only trait.
oo7. There is to be no godmodding, powerplay, or metagaming. If your character tries to kill someone else's character it is up to them whether or not their own character dies. Also please be realistic for no cat can catch every bit of prey, or never get hurt in battle whether against other cats or predators.
oo8. Cats do age and so elders should eventually join StarClan.
oo9. Apprentices can have neither mate nor kits. Only once an apprentice has gained warrior status may they take on a mate. Apprentices however may have crushes.
o10. Please no spotlighting. No one individual should be the center of attention. Not all the time anyway.
o11. Please try to make characters as realistic as possible. At least realistic enough to where they'd fit into the books. Which means no magical powers, not even those seen in PoT or OotS.
o12. Please do not spam or advertise here, thank you.
o13. Please note you may only play one high ranking role at any given time. These are clan leader, deputy, medicine cat, or medicine cat apprentice.
o14. Do note that you may not roleplay until you've used the joining form located at the end of the clan allegiance. And because this is a claim-a-cat clan you'll need to choose a pre-existing feline who is open.
o15. Feel free to PM me if you'd like to help in any way.
