Hey! This is a semi jump in because I need a sentence or two of description as you hop in (no need to be accepted.) Also, unlike most jump ins, theres a plot this is based around, though it's very loose so you can be creative. Just please be respectful, realistic, etc.
A bit of background: The cats of SnowClan (named after their creator named Snow) have lived in their cozy territory, a forest near the base of a mountain, for seasons. A particularly hot, dry greenleaf left the forest a little short of prey, which would have been okay, if it wasn't for the nasty leaf-bare that followed. It was colder than normal, with heavy storms that left the forest crawling with an even smaller amount of prey. They were so bad you could barely see. The clan suffered greatly. Many cats got sick and the clan began to die off. The medicine cats worked hard, but there wasn't much to be done with so little herbs and food to be found. Some began to talk about leaving the forest to find prey and better weather, but the leader was stubborn and refused to leave their home. Finally, they were convinced that the clan wouldn't survive if they stayed. It was decided that the remaining cats would need to leave. So their story continues, the small clan journeying to find a new place to start over.
keep in mind that the clan will be small now. Our characters are starving, scared, and upset - they just lost many family and friends and on top of that, they needed to leave their home. It's still leaf-bare, so it's still cold and stormy. You can also join as kittypets and loners, given that they will run into them as they travel and will probably be willing to accept them since they lost so many clanmates. Besides that, the system runs like a generic clan from the books, no special rituals or naming requirements or anything.
Have fun!

Patchstar stood in the snow, his green eyes empty as he stared at his den carved into the rocky wall. Or his former den, since it wasn't his anymore. He was about to leave camp for the very last time. He really didn't want to, but his clanmates convinced him that they needed to get out of here and away from the storms. Some wanted to leave last night, but it was good that they waited for dawn, it had given some time for the storm to slow down. It was still snowing, but not nearly as heavily as the day before. The old tom's whiskers twitched as he looked around camp, happy memories playing through his mind. I grew up in this camp... Gorgestar gave me my warrior name on that very boulder. I remember that day so clearly. A low growl rumbled in Greeneye's throat and his tail swished impatiently as he stared at his leader. "Can we move?" He hissed loudly, pulling Patchstar from his thoughts. "The rest of us are going to freeze to death if we stand here any longer." He dipped his head towards the forest, beckoning that it was time to leave. Palestorm sent a glare towards the other warrior, shaking her head. "Give him a bit of respect..." She mumbled under her breath, shivering and shifting her weight from paw to paw to try and get her muscles warmed up. "Oh, yes." Patchstar stood up straighter, trying to look strong, but his weakness was evident, his ribs clearly defined under his rough, matted fur. "Let's go." He strode out of camp, setting a brisk pace to lead his clan away. He kept his head and his tail high, trying to be confident. He wanted the others to be able to follow him and trust him, even when everything seemed to be lost in this moment.

{ Gotcha Gotcha! I tried to give them Erin hunter type descriptions here they are;
Littlecloud -48 moons - Diluted long furred calico she-cat with light green eyes.
Webfoot -34 moons-A white and black broad shouldered tom with blue eyes.
Skybreeze -22 moons -A white and gray she-cat with light blue eyes, she has a nick in her ear from her her youth.
Willowpaw- 8 moons-White she-cat with ginger patches. }
Littlecloud looked at her empty herb supply, letting out a low sigh of defeat. "Starclan, where could you be?" Her shoulders were dropped and she appeared as though she had just been bested. She turned to leave her den one final time, ready to join her clanmates now that she had realized she had nothing left here but empty hopes and dreams. As she as leaving her den, she nearly bumped into a running Willowpaw. She stepped back for a moment to collect herself and continued on, joining the rest of the clan as they left the camp.
Skybreeze was following near the front of the clan, her tail swishing back and forth as she spared one final look backwards. She had grown up in that camp, but now it felt less like a home and more of an omen for death to her. She noticed Willowpaw was racing to gain up with the group and she coudn't help but let out a sigh of contempt, the apprentice always had to be late. She would be late to her own death one of these days.
Willowpaw had reached the group finally and let out a breath of relief, shaking in her fur. She had been so scared to be left behind by them.

( perfect ) Palestorm trotted along near the front of the group, making sure she didn't stray too far behind Patchstar. She was worried that the storm would suddenly thicken and she would lose sight of him. She kept glancing over her shoulders every few seconds, apparently worried she would suddenly lose the rest of the clan as well, but she firmly told herself they would all be ok. Greeneye huffed as he spotted Willowpaw rushing to catch up. "Willowpaw," his tail swished with irritation. "Good warriors aren't late. You'll slow the whole clan down, and we need to make good time if we're going to survive this. You understand that?" He meowed firmly, falling into place near the back of the clan to make sure no one got left behind as they left.

Greeneye muttered to himself about how apprentices could be dumb, but it sent a sharp pain through his chest. His own two kits were only apprentices and they died not too long ago. If he recalled correctly, Gingerpaw was friends with Willowpaw, despite his daughter being a moon or two older. He stole a glance at the apprentice when she asked him about their destination. "First thing, we gotta get off this mountain." He mumbled. He swished his tail, turning his head to make sure none of his clanmates had fallen behind, the looked back at the apprentice. "How's your training coming? Did you practice that move I'd shown you?" He knew the apprentices haven't been getting the attention they deserved, and she wasn't his apprentice, but with so many deaths there weren't really any mentoring roles anymore. All the warriors have been pitching in with them whenever they got the chance.
Palestorm's ear swiveled, hearing the pawsteps of a clanmate moving closer to her. Parting her jaws slightly and breathing in, Webfoot's scent brought her the comfort she needed. She didn't look at him but kept her gaze on Patchstar, shifting closer so their fur brushed and felt some of his body heat. Finally she stole a glance, tail teitching nervously. "Webfoot... are you scared?" She meowed faintly.

(I'll join! c:
Swiftstrike - 15 Moons - A pitch black she-cat with long legs and piercing green eyes. Has a scar on her shoulder from a fight with a hawk when she was an apprentice.
Flareheart - 42 Moons - A muscular, dark orange tom with faint tabby markings and a while belly. He has pale yellow eyes. (Deputy??)
Sunflowerfur - 42 Moons - A tall, bright orange tabby she-cat with warm yellow eyes.
Mothpaw - 7 Moons - A small, fluffy dusty brown she-cat with bright amber eyes.
Hornetpaw - 9 Moons - A scruffy, dark gray tom with pale blue eyes.
Flareheart and Sunflowerfur are siblings)
Swiftstrike let out a small huff as she padded after the others. The young warrior hung towards the back of the group with her gaze narrowed on the path ahead. She was known to be a bit irritable but the terrible weather and loss of loved ones had her in a worse mood than usual. The she-cat was hurt and angry but there was no one to blame for the deaths. Except perhaps, StarClan. However, she wasn't looking to start a fight with them. So instead, Swiftstrike walked tensely with the rest of her clan as they left behind what barely felt like a home to her anymore.
Flareheart trotted just slightly behind Patchstar. The stoic tom watched his leader with a careful gaze, a bit worried about his current state of health. The deputy wouldn't dare make a comment on it out loud though. With everything that had happened to the clan, they needed strength in their leadership. To tear that down by making public comments on the older tom's state wouldn't be wise. He let out a small sigh and glanced over his shoulder at the rest of the clan. The sooner we get out of here, the better. He thought as he looked back ahead. Flareheart was eager to get out of the territory they had always known. Regardless of the memories he had there, it wasn't safe to stay for the cats that were still left.

Willowpaw started bouncing a bit in her step, obviously cheered up at him asking about her training. "I've been practicing them a lot!" She mewed, trying to remember a few. "I tried out the leap-and-hold trick on Skybreeze but she didn't seem to eager to practice with me." Her voice trailed off for a moment. Even though she was technically an apprentice, Willowpaw seemed to have the mindset of a kit at times and right now it was showing through pretty well. She was focused on the tail of a warrior in front of her, it's waving back and forth enticing her to pounce on it but she stopped herself. I have to remain strong and act like a warrior, right? She asked herself, turning to Greeneye now. "Do you think when we get to the new territory I'll have actual training?"
Webfoot's ears flattened a bit at her question, obviously not wanting to show any fear. "No, I'm hopeful." He was trying to sound believable but he could hear the falter in his own voice, if they had left sooner then maybe he would be hopeful. Now, he was unsure of the future. His eyes flashed to Littlecloud, had Starclan spoken to her yet? He had heard rumors in the clan that even Starclan had abandoned them in this trying time. "Are you, Palestorm?" He finally asked, settling his gaze back ahead to the cats in front of him. He wanted to actually look to her as they spoke but he also didn't want to risk falling behind now.
Littlecloud weaved her way through the cats towards the front where the deputy and leader would be, thinking maybe she should travel near them. But what if a cat falls down? Should I travel in the back? Like always, the medicine cat was overthinking what to do and she finally decided to trot behind the two, keeping her ears perked up in case of any warriors or apprentices needing help.

Deerpelt - 37 Moons - A pretty, light brown speckled tabby she-cat with patches of white fur. She has dark green eyes and is missing half of her left ear.
Bumblestrike - 17 Moons - A light golden tabby tom with darker orange markings. He has deep amber eyes.
Sweetspots - 17 Moons - A short and fluffy calico she-cat with a mostly white face, and bright yellow eyes.
Breezepaw - 11 Moons - A long furred gray tom with a white patch on his chin, and pale blue eyes.
(Sweetspots and Bumblestrike are siblings)
The move was supposed to be a good thing. They were leaving behind terrible seasons, little to no prey, and countless deaths. One death that included both Sweetspots and Bumblestrike's father. The calico she-cat held a close relationship with their father and grieved the most between the two siblings, she was still grieving if she were to be perfectly honest with herself. Her mind was flooded and distracted with incoming thoughts that she didn't notice she was starting to fall behind her brother, who was keeping mostly to the front. Snapping back to reality, Sweetspots blinked slowly and glanced around to see who she was near, spotting Swiftstrike close by. A small smile spreads on the molly's jaw, though she quickly noticed the tenseness of her denmate. "Hey." The greeting was simple, she didn't think it needed to be anymore than that.
Breezepaw was grateful for his thick coat, it meant the cold and wind didn't cut through him so easily. The quiet tom padded alongside his mentor, but looked over his shoulder to hopefully catch the attention of the other apprentices. He was tired of hearing the politics that the older warriors were discussing, openly talking about if this was a good decision or not. As selfish as it may seem, Breezepaw just hoped that the move wouldn't hold up his warrior ceremony.
Deerpelt was calmly padding along the trail, following behind the others as she kept up towards the front. She watched as Littlecloud made her way up to Patchstar and Flareheart, blinking slowly before letting out a slow sigh. It was heartbreaking to leave their old home, and she had prayed to Starclan for so long not to give up on them. Though, the she-cat was slowly giving up hope, now hoping that this decision was made by Starclan to lead them to a more bountiful territory where the clan would thrive better than before. But the memories, and the deaths would not be forgotten by the warrior. She gave one last look behind her as they ventured further than the territory she recognized for many moons. Their unknown fate made Deerpelt nervous, but she wasn't about to give up just yet.

Greeneye was glad to see that Willowpaw perked up, acting more like herself. He might as well distract a kit from their dire situation, if even just for a couple mminutes. His fur puffed up against the cold as he glanced down at the younger cat. "Of course!" He answered, trying to give her something to look forward to. "There will be plenty of prey too, so you'll be able to learn hunting. Want me to show you a trick for finding all the mouse nests?" His long whiskers twitched as he focused hos gaze onto his path once again.
Webfoot's answer was enough to convince Palestorm, who didn't pick up on the uncertainty behind his voice. She felt so much smaller standing next to him, wishing she had that hope, or could at least act like she did. She breifly wondered why Patchstar took such a long time to announce that they would leave, especially when most of the clan was willing to. She turned her head as a gust of wind blew snow into her face, hiding it in her clanmate's shoulder and following his movements as she was temporarily blinded. "Yeah." She answered him, her voice muffled. "I'm a little scared." She paused, deciding she was already being vulnerable enough. "Maybe really scared." She pulled her head up, blinking to adjust her eyes. "Do you think StarClan abandoned us?"

(Oh hey Rainy ) Swiftstrike jumped and curled her lip slightly as someone addressed her, drawing her out of her thoughts. She turned her head to shifted her less than friendly gaze onto Sweetspots and let out a sigh. Though in a foul mood, it was near reassuring to see a cat she had grown up besides. It gave a strange sense of normalcy, which was rare to find with so many cats dead and on their way out of the only home they had know. "Hi." she mumbled in reply, shifting her gaze away once more. For a moment, she didn't say anything else. Lashing her tail, the she-cat let out a low growl. "We should have left this cursed place sooner." Flareheart glanced over at Littlecloud as the medicine cat as she fell behind him and Patchstar. He dipped his head to the medicine cat, feeling a bit comforted to have the medicine cat nearby. "Call if you need me.. I'm going to make sure everyone's keeping up ok." he muttered to the she-cat before beginning to fall back. He swept his gaze over the group, beginning to keep a closer eye on the younger cats as well as the few kits that the clan did still have.

Willowpaw looked around, as though they were sharing a secret no cat could know and whispered to him "Can you show me that while we are walking like this?" A bit louder now she quickly added "I'll be caught up to the other apprentice's in no time! I won't be a little pipsqueak anymore!" What she had said was true, despite being seven moons old the poor apprentice stood as tall as four moon old kit and the lack of food had done no good in making her appear bigger. The only thing the poor apprentice had going for her size was her fluffy fur, even then it wasn't much help during the Leaf-Bare.
Webfoot spared another look to Littlecloud, who looked alert behind the leaders. "I don't know for sure, they wouldn't leave us though right?" He seemed hesitant for a moment, trying to pick out his next few words carefully. "I mean, I don't think any of our clan mates would leave us. Perhaps they are just upset with how long we took to get a move on, surely they will reveal themselves to Littlecloud or Patchstar in the next few days now that we got ourselves out of the camp." He gave her a weak purr, hoping his explanation would be enough to ease her mind a bit but he knew he was lying through his teeth. He wasn't so sure Starclan would be with them now on this journey, they hadn't even really showed signs they needed to leave!
Littlecloud nodded to the deputy and tried to keep herself hopeful, maybe tonight would be the night she heard from Starclan at last.

(Hey Bramble!! Long time no see :3c )
Sweetspots didn't seem to be bothered by the unfriendly look that her friend gave her, knowing they were all going through a hard time. Instead, the fluffy calico just smiled, looking ahead as Swiftstrike did. She wasn't going to push a conversation from the taller cat, but her ears did perk when she spoke again. As hard as it was for Sweetspots to find the good in this situation, she was still trying to be hopeful, as she assumed majority of everyone else was trying to be as well. "Probably." She started, thinking for a moment. "At least we're leaving now, before there's no one left to actually leave." The comment may have been a little morbid, but the words rolled easily out her mouth.
Deerpelt watched as Flareheart peeled out from the others, green eyes following his orange pelt. Once he was within earshot, Deerpelt spoke up. "How are things looking up there?" She asked him, moving to pad right beside him. Her tone was curious, but there was a sense of worry behind it. She hid the worry well with her expression, her good ear flickering as she blinked up at him.
