A Kittypet's Clan Introduction
Amber remembered her first litter. There had been four of them. Tiny, wriggling little balls of fur who nuzzled into her belly and filled her heart with warmth and love. Her mate was a kind tom, who visited his children as often as he could, though she knew it was not his first litter. And likely not his last. Still, he was a dear friend who had granted her the children she wished for and Amber has never been more in love than when her first kit opened his sweet eyes to gaze around at the world. She should have known it was too good to last.
She had such lovely dreams, of watching her kits play and learn and grow. Watching their paws become sure and their fuzzy kit fur thicken into beautiful, sleek coats. She had dreamed of watching them become adults, seeing them find mates of their own and perhaps even see them have kits she could visit and play with. And now dreams were all she had of them. Barely two moons old and they were torn from her side. Her cries and pleading ignored by the housefolk she thought had cared for her and now stole her kits, pushing them into the hands of strange two-legs that took them farther than she could find. It took weeks for her to eat properly again, to accept her kits were never coming back.
Then she met Cloverpounce. A strange tom from something called a Clan. He told her wonderful stories of cats living free, away from the influence of people. Wild, but not savage like the street cats she had seen tearing each other apart over the smallest things. He told her of the Queens, doted on and protected by fierce Warriors who'd give their lives to protect them and their kits. Noble Leaders, who led their Clan fairly and bravely through good times and bad. Medicine Cats, wise and loving cats with a connection to a strange and wonderful place called StarClan, where all good cats went when they died to live and hunt together.
Cloverpounce returned to his Clan, but had lit a fire in Amber. She would find others like her - broken by the two-legs and their cruel ways - And she would find a place where they could forge their own destiny and create their own Clan. And with Amber expecting kits once more, time was growing more and more precious.
About
A Kittypet's Clan follows a small but steadily growing group of Kittypets, Loners and Rogues as they travel, trying to find a place to settle down and form their own Clan. Each cat has their own story. Perhaps they were badly treated, perhaps they were abandoned or perhaps they are merely tired of life as a pet or scrabbling for scraps. Whatever their background, all the cats want one thing - a life of their own choosing.
You can begin either as a member of the slowly forming group, or a cat on their own who will join later. No rivals to the group for now, though I'm hoping this RP leads to a proper Clan who might have competition.
This is described as a Semi-Jump-In RP because, while there is a form to fill in, there's no need to wait for permission to post. Just post the short form and jump right in to Roleplaying. Be sure to read the rules before posting!

Rules
1. All WCRP Forum rules apply.
2. No single-sentence replies. I'm not asking for full paragraphs, but try to write a couple of lines if you can. Proper spelling and grammar is greatly appreciated.
3. If you can, minimum three days a week of activity would be ideal. That being said, I'm well aware life can get in the way, so just let me know if you're going to be inactive for a while if you can. Cats with more than two weeks of inactivity will be 'Frozen' for a month. Meaning, they'll remain in the Clan and may be referred to, but will not be interacted with. After the frozen period, they'll be put into 'Cold Storage' where the information will be stored, but the cats will no longer be a part of the Clan. After three months in Cold Storage, the cats will be deleted.
4. No fighting with each other OOC. You have a problem with another Roleplayer? Take it elsewhere. Anyone deliberately being cruel or argumentative will be removed from the Clan.
5. Keep your cats as physically realistic as possible.
6. Have fun! ^^ Everyone is welcome here, new and old alike. If you have any questions at all, post or pm me. I promise that I don't bite. ;D

Average Age Chart
This is a rough guide that, obviously can change with circumstances. For example, an Apprentice's ceremony may be delayed by injury, whereas an Elder's ceremony can be held earlier due to the same reason. A Medicine Cat, due to the amount they have to learn, can be over twice the age of a newly-named Warrior would be before they earn their name.
Kits: 0-6 Moons Apprentices: 6-12 Moons Medicine Cat Apprentice: 6-(Anywhere from 12-15) Moons Warriors: 12-100 Moons Deputy: 20-100 Moons Leader: 30-100 Moons Medicine Cat: (Anywhere from 12-25 Moons)-100 Moons Queen: 20-100 Moons Elder: 80-120 Moons

Amber sighed from where she lay, curled up under the bridge where her small group had settled down for the night. The sun was slowly creeping over the horizon and the light would begin waking these cats who had entrusted their lives and future to her. It was terrifying and exhilarating at the same time. Her eyes drifted to Patchwork where the older tom lay curled up in the centre of the group with their youngest cats. He was getting older and his pelt wasn't quite as thick as it used to be.
Shaking her head, Amber returned to watching the sun rise. According to the information from their latest newcomers, there was a park not too far away where they could drink and catch themselves some prey. It would only take another day or two to pass through the city and into the open land beyond. Perhaps then they would find somewhere to call home and her kits would be safe at last.
Fennel huffed in exasperation from where he lay, sprawled in front of a massive window and wishing desperately to be on the other side. He was bored. Almost constantly. His housefolk had been so excited and paid him so much attention when they first brought him home. Now the put down food for him once a day and ignored him the rest of the time. Grumbling, the young tom headed listlessly for the food room. He padded for his bowl when a slight breeze made him pause. His eyes widene as they turned to the small window open above him and a wicked grin spread over his muzzle. With three quick bounds, he was up and out, laughing as he jumped to the ground. It was finally time to explore! Fennel took off, clambering over the fence and away without a single look back.
Bella scrapped listlessly at the pile of two-leg trash she was sifting through, looking for any scraps of food she could get her paws on. Normally she would be hunting. Mice and rats were both plentiful in this are, but her stomach ached and her head was dizzy. She didn't have the energy to chase prey, so she had been eating what she could find and sleeping as much as possible. She was starting to feel a little better, but it would be a few days before she was on her paws properly again.

Name: Screech (Foxscreech) Age: 36 moons Gender: Male Preferred Future Rank: Warrior, maybe deputy Short Description: A dark reddish brown tom with black and cream markings and amber eyes Family: Open for mate/kits/other family Other: Bisexual. Former kittypet, now a loner, looking to join the clan. Kittypet name was Tyler, but he grew a reputation for scaring cats off with his unusual screech that sometimes sounds fox-like, so he started calling himself Screech i don't know what i'm doing
but i know how to do it
Screech could smell cats. Not that it was unusual to see cats around these parts, but the real question was whether or not these were the friendly sort. Screech had his fair share of scars from cats who much preferred fighting than talking things over, and he flicked his ears as he padded along the bridge, the scent growing stronger with each pawstep.
He stopped, tilting his head as the breeze wafter up, along with the cat-scent. Under the bridge. he realized. Curiousity getting the better of him, he leaped from the bridge onto the rocks and climbed down carefully, stones crumbling away as he awkwardly made his way down. Well they're sure to have heard me now. he thought. He peered his head around the corner with caution as his eyes settled on the forms of the cats below, and his eyes widened a little. What are these cats doing here? he wondered.

((Welcome ^^))
Amber's ear twitched as the sound of moving stones interrupted her morning contemplation. Staying as relaxed as possible, she shifted ever so slightly to look at the unknown cat who had happened upon their resting place. The gravel and concrete ledge her group had decided to stay on for the night would be a poor place indeed if the river decided to flood, but it was safe from the two-legs and their dogs. Amber herself was the closest one to the curious tom, putting herself between her ragtag group and any possible danger from above.
"Hello there," Amber rumbled politely, smiling at the shocked look on his face. Cats banding together was a bit of a rare thing around this place she'd found, so she didn't take his shock as anything hostile. Getting to her paws, the she-cats stretched languidly, her body language kept carefully curious and non-aggressive. "Catch our scent and get curious, I'm guessing?" She meowed, amusement lacing her soft voice, "Well, I'm Amber. What's your name, stranger?"

i don't know what i'm doing
but i know how to do it
Screech eyed the travelers warily, but forced his fur to lie flat as the she-cat stood and introduced herself. It was then he noticed her rounded sides and his eyes widened. A queen, out traveling? Absurd! It was then Screech realized he was staring at her open mouthed like a baby bird waiting to be fed. Closing his mouth he shook his head and looked away, coughing awkwardly.
"S-sorry." he mumbled. Deciding he wasn't in any immediate danger he sat down and looked beyond Amber, then back at her, tilting his head. "I'm uh...Ty- Screech. I'm Screech." he meowed. Even now he still had moments where his kittypet name would slip from his maw, and he lashed his tail in annoyance at himself, smiling at Amber. "What brings you all out here?"
((Thanks ^__^ ))

Amber giggled slightly, pressing a paw to her mouth sheepishly at the sound. "Well, it's nice to meet you Screech," She purred a reply, basely ignoring the stumble in his voice, "As to what we're doing here, well, that's a tale and a half." She glanced over her shoulder, warm pride making her chest puff up at the sight of the cats who followed her. "We're on our way to find a home," She murmured, smiling at Patch, who had one eye barely open, keeping an eye on the pair, "Some of us were abused by two-legs, some of us loners or rogues just looking for some stability, but all of us just want a place to live our lives freely."
A call nearby made Amber's ears shoot up, eyes narrowing thoughtfully. "I'll go," A deep, rasping rumble of a voice sounded behind her and Patch's warm presence passed by. The massive old tom nodded to Screech, slipping past and up the rocks with a deftness surprising for his age. Amber just shook her head in amusement. "Patch there was a street cat, born and raised," She explained, "He can be a little gruff at times, but like most of our street cats he's tired of fighting for every tiny scrap of food. He wants to be able to rely on somebody else if he's too sick to hunt or when he gets too old." The sadness in her voice was plain to see. The past hardships of her new family made her heart ache and she wasn't ashamed to show it.
Patch grumbled in annoyance as he slipped through the shadows born of the weak, early morning sun. It wasn't long before he spotted two cats looking lost. And looking for something in particular. Sneaking around them, he leapt onto a trashcan with a deliberate clatter to draw their attention. He stared at the pair for a moment, before dryly rasping, "You two are making quite the fuss. You the ones calling for help, or can you point me in the direction of the cats that were?"
