Hey all, a looong time ago I had a FanClan called NightClan that ran for about two years before the old forums closed. I'm interested in possibly bringing it back along with a new border Clan, DayClan, and was wondering what people think about the idea now that it's been a while.
NightClan cats are creatures of the dark, preferring to hunt and patrol mostly at dawn and dusk when it's fairly dark out. They are master night hunters and climbers, moving through the trees as easily as they move on ground. They are typically slim and stealthy, with light footsteps and agile movements. They also tend to have darker pelts and eyes for blending in at night, and their eyesight is second to none.
DayClan cats, by comparison, prefer wide open spaces and the brightness of daytime, hunting on vast grasslands with few trees or obscuring landmarks. Fast and strong, though not particularly agile, DayClan cats like to sleep out in the open, beneath the sun and stars, rather than hiding away in the dense forests of their sister Clan. They tend to have lighter and brighter colored pelts and eyes, with long, strong legs and sharp hearing.
NightClan layout:

𝕃𝕪𝕤𝕤𝕒Probably just any ideas you have for the plot? Or maybe if there is anything different about the ceremonies of the clan?

Sounds good to me! I'd be happy to help out with rewriting stuff and brainstorming for ideas. Just let me know

NightClan lives in a dense oak forest. They hunt primarily at night, as their naturally dark fur colors blend in with the night and they are much better at night hunting than hunting in the daylight, as the undergrowth is sparse in their forest. Their territory expands from a river on the north side of the territory to a small stretch of trees at the edge of the woods. NightClan lives in a naturally forming cave, cleared and dried manually, and a small, thin trench surrounds the outside of the cave to divert rainwater from getting inside and flooding the camp. This trench leads to a small stream near camp which connects with the river and spills into the ocean, about three days walk from camp. A large meadow, dotted with colorful flowers in the spring, surrounds the base of the hill the cave was dug into.
NightClan cats are a bit like ShadowClan cats. Their pelts are usually in black, grays and browns, maybe gingers, and their eyes tend to be dark blue, green, brown, gray or amber. They prefer to hunt at night and stock up their food that way, but during leaf-bare they hunt year-round. NightClan cats are specially trained to fight in closed, cramped and dark spaces, and they are basters at the art of battle. However, they tend to be vain and prideful, and that could end up being their downfall.
This is the territory and about sections from the old NightClan rp that I saved before the forums went down the first time. I also have an extensive family tree that comes from about 2 years of rp lol, I can post the image but it's huge. If I do make NightClan I'll likely take a few of the younger characters and add them back in.

𝕃𝕪𝕤𝕤𝕒Okay, you can post the image. I'd kinda like to see what it looks like Just put it under a spoiler. The territory description seems pretty good, we might just want to revamp it a bit. The description of the clan is also good. I like the idea of maybe incorporating the young cats from the end of the roleplay. Kinda ties up the loose ends, you know? We could also maybe make it like a 'next generation' type clan, instead of starting from the very, very beginning. Also, do you have any skills with coding? I do not have much experience with BBCode, but I feel like I could learn if I tried!

Here it is, hopefully the image is big enough that you can see the individual names lol. Purple is female, green is male. If you left click and open the image in a new tab it enlarges it also so you can read the names and such.
I do have coding experience! I think I'm pretty good with BBCode and I use it a lot for RP layouts and replies. I can post an example here if you like.

Oh wow, that is a lot! I'm not used to seeing so many OCs.
And that's good. I've tried, I'm just not great lol. I'd like to see some, if you don't mind!
Do you want me to try and see what I can do with some of the territory description?

Haha, yup! Like I said, the Clan ran consistently for about two years before I took a break, so we wracked up a pretty extensive family tree. I'll post an example of an rp reply layout I use often in a HTTYD RP and post a link to my Maximum Ride rp where I did the layout. Although that layout is pretty plain haha.

𝕃𝕪𝕤𝕤𝕒Ooh, I like that! Both the roleplay layout and the reply layout look good! Do you have any specific ideas for a color palette yet? I was thinking some color purple, silver, and black?

Sounds good to me. Gold would probably show up better, especially if we use white text. Maybe something like this?

That's fine. I'm in Central Time, and I've got robotics until 6:30 today (would show as 8:30 on the forums) so it's not like I would be able to work on it until later anyway. Though I will try and work on some stuff before it actually starts!

Ooh! I really, really like that layout! As for fonts, #2 and #24 stood out to me the best, though it might be best to see them in use before I completely sign off to it lol. I can work on the categories later; robotics comp is today and we will have a lot of downtime. It will just be text, but that can always be copy and pasted into the layout.

Yeah, the assigned roles would really create openings for drama! You are playing the leader though, right? Wouldn't want that much power falling into someone's hands who is inactive lol. Any ideas for the rules? I'll probably write them up after lunch. Also, just a small idea; what do you think of the cats having enhanced eyesight? Not really of a supernatural variety, but more of evolution type thing. It would make more sense when it comes to the cats hunting in the dark (even though cats have pretty good eyesight to begin with). We could even make it into a Starclan thing for the Medicine Cat; they can see something normal cats can't. Don't know what it could be though.

𝕃𝕪𝕤𝕤𝕒I like the idea of having a council, though I thought about it a bit differently. Maybe it could be made up of select elders, maybe even one of each of the three 'jobs/roles'? It could give them a greater purpose than just telling stories to kits lol. However, if we did that, it wouldn't be wise to pick the deputy from that group; they're elders for a reason. Also, would we just erase apprentices all together? The list doesn't mention them, and the 'housekeeper' role has a lot of the jobs that they do, so I was curious. If we do include apprentices though, maybe it's less of a 'learn to be a warrior' type thing, and more 'try out these roles, and then the leader will choose which of the three he or she thinks fits the cat best.' As for making it a two-clan roleplay, I think it would depend on the interest levels for what we can come up with. What is your idea for the second one?

I was trying to think up some names for the subcategories of warriors, and I thought up Hunter, Gatherer, and Companion, respectively. Thoughts? As for rules: - As per usual, follow the rules set out by WCRP. - This is a semi-literate roleplay. We expect at least 3 lines per character, per post. At the very, very least, try to at least match the post length of the person(s) you are roleplaying with. - Activity is what keeps a roleplay alive. Try to post at least 3 times a week, preferably more. [THIS DOES NOT APPLY TO OOC CHATTING] If you are not active for two weeks are more, your name will be crossed out on the list of members, and your characters will be put up for adoption. - Godmodding, creating Mary Sues, and spotlighting is prohibited. Cats should have flaws, and, regardless of the plot, your cat(s) is not the center of the universe. These actions can ruin a perfectly good roleplay. You will receive a warning if you fail to comply. This also applies to killing off characters without asking for permission. - Be realistic with the appearance of your cats. No bright pink pelts, neon orange eyes, wings, etc. Remember, these are _______ cats; they typically have darker pelts and eyes. - Similarly, be realistic with the way your cats behave. _______ will not win every single battle they fight, nor can a single cat carry tons of prey/herbs by themselves. - No spam or advertising! This is self-explainable, and doing so will result in a warning. - Keep the roleplay PG-13. We don't want to hear about any graphic mating, kitting, etc. - Most importantly, have fun!
