Hmm that's true that the apprentice usually do stuff like care for the elders and stuff like that. Also what I had in mind for the "council" is like a mix between deputy and senior warrior positions, where the council would advise the leader and help them organize patrols and stuff like that. It would be made up of one cat from each category, maybe one hunter, one fighter and one of a third category? Then upon the leader's death the senior council member would take over as leader and appoint a new cat to be in the council. Apprentices would still exist, and at their apprentice ceremony the leader would decide what category they fit into. I'd like there to be three categories, I'm just not sure what the third one would be exactly. The name Gatherer doesn't really fit a fighting-style role, either, but I like Companion. I had the idea that the third role would be more like a support type role, taking care of things like building dens and nests, gathering supplies out in the territory, etc but idk if that's a very interesting role haha.
Also, since I don't plan on including StarClan, I figure the leader would retain their warrior name and just carry the title of leader, like a deputy or med cat would.

Okay, yeah that makes more sense now. I get what you're going for. I think it will be an interesting dynamic, as well as allowing more people to have a higher position.
Idk about what other people would think, but I like the idea of the third role, 'Companion,' type cat. It wouldn't have the most action or anything, but sometimes I like to play roles like that (ex. queen, kit, mc apprentice).

I'll probably take one of the councilor roles, thanks! Definitely something I haven't really played before, but I think it would be fun. Also, just realized I put hunter, gatherer, and companion on my post earlier. I meant to put something else for the fighting role. No wonder I was so confused when you said that didn't fit I suppose my brain is short-circuiting already (finals week starts tomorrow for me lol) Anything in particular you want me to work on? I posted some outlines for some stuff earlier, but I'm willing to work on pretty much anything.

Sounds good! I'll get back to you soon with landmarks

Here's some ideas for landmarks
- a large, naturally-eroded rock arch, situated in one of the only clearings of the dense forest. Could be used as a Gathering location (if we have border clans) or just as a place for announcements. This arch is easily 10 tail-lengths tall, and it is made of dull grey rock. - the tallest tree in the territory, situated near the camp, is where training occurs for Soldier Apprentices. - a small lake towards the edge of the territory - a sharp drop off cliff on the western border. It is covered in large, jagged rocks, and is a dangerous point in the territory. Apprentices are not allowed to go there without close monitoring by a grown cat.

Thanks! Those are some good ideas, I'll start working on writing up a territory description with these landmarks soon! Here's a link to the WIP page where I'll be coding and writing up everything.

I like the idea of having a neighboring DayClan, especially the civil war idea in which they break apart. It adds some drama, as well as allowing us to have a border clan to deal with. As for the history, I like that too! How far back do you propose the separation happened? If we went where it was farther back (a few generations, or so), we could make one of the plot devices to be the divide of ideas in the clan. Like, the older cats want to stick to tradition, and are still hostile towards the border clan, and the younger cats are much more open to intermingling? Idk, just an idea. I would be able to help out with keeping the roleplay(s) up, but as I stated before, I'm pretty useless with BBCode right now

Yeah, I saw that earlier; I like that layout too. Just the right amount of contrast, while still being similar enough to the original.
Two questions: Anything else you need me to do? And: Do you have a specific deadline that you want to have these clans up and running by?

Hopefully lol. I can take if you can't find someone better suited, though. Running two large clans at the same time would be too much for me Here are some ideas for landmarks (DayClan): - having a twoleg town to the east sounds like a good idea. Maybe if we make is a rural town we could add in the obstacle of horses to the DayClan roleplay? - marsh area near the mouth of the lake. Dangerous for apprentices that haven't learned to swim yet, as they can easily fall in, however it does contain some useful herbs for the medicine cat. Could look like this? - thick, tall grasses on the northeastern side of the territory. There are tall grasses all throughout DayClan's moors, but this grass, in particular, makes it very easy to cats catch prey like small mice (unfortunately, not very filling). It is a key point for the Hunting apprentices because it is where older Hunters teach them to catch prey. - old barn in the southeast. It is completely abandoned, and is starting to rot. Some of the items inside are very odd to the cats. - thunderpath that ends Dayclan's territory to the east. - small forest area near the edge of the territory; the only part of Nightclan's forest that Dayclan has (unfortunately, they are very poor tree-hunters) - large badger set towards the middle of the territory; to be avoided by all cats - [WIP]

Hello! Sorry about my absence, I was traveling all day Wednesday and resting and unpacking on Thursday haha. If you're willing to learn some BBCode I don't think my layouts are too difficult to edit! I make sure to section things out in a way that it's easy to find stuff even in the code, all you would really need to do is be able to copy and paste, but I'll see how it goes! Thanks for the landmark ideas! I'm willing to learn. I've just got no idea where to start haha; and the absence is fine, it happens!
