So I wanted to try and write a fleshed-out story based on an idea I had, but I'm awful at writing unless I have the world's most detailed plan in the history of detailed plans, so this is where I'm going to plan it out for now with the characters and the plotline and stuff, and then eventually I'm going to replace my notes with the actual story I want to write.
PLOT SUMMARY
A broken, crumbling Clan struggles to find peace under a leader who cares little for the Code and for his Clanmates; they live like rogues, in an unruly, overgrown camp with tattered dens and badly defended walls. And worst of all, they have forsaken their warrior ancestors and turned their backs on StarClan's ancient traditions. Most of the food goes to the strongest warriors and to the leader, who keeps a watchful eye on everything that happens in his camp. There are guards posted at the camp entrance all the time, and nothing goes unseen or unheard. The old and the sick were driven off or killed, or simply left to die a long time ago, but the leader has kept the queens around to raise a stronger next generation. The young medicine cat is in fear for his life after being falsely accused of stirring disloyalty among the rest of the Clan, and is being kept under constant surveillance. However, he is too terrified to act until the leader executes his mentor for the crimes that he supposedly committed; he manages to recruit the help of a small group of warriors and a surprisingly friendly rogue and escapes the clutches of his tyrannical leader. They flee in the night and escape across the river and into the fields, leaving their ruined Clan behind. Along the way, they find a few of their former Clanmates who were driven out by their leader and have created a small camp of their own beyond the borders, and join with them on their journey. The medicine cat has a dream in which he sees a far-away place, full of life - their new home. They must undertake the long, perilous journey to find the place that was prophesised and start a new Clan in accordance with StarClan's wishes, for they have not forgotten their ancestors. However, their former Clan leader discovers their escape after they are betrayed by one they thought they could trust, and, infuriated by their betrayal and intent on vengeance, he formulates a plan of his own.
