BriarClan - the brave and noble "For the beauty of the rose we also water the thorns"
Introduction Through aching paws you carry yourself through the terrain. It had been days since you'd been able to have a full stomach, and the malnourishment was beginning to take effect. You open your mouth to try and get a scent of prey - perhaps mice were coming out to try and enjoy the warm air of greenleaf - but to your dismay, the scent you picked up on wasn't prey, but rather, another cat. Straining your vision, you could just make out the outline of a golden tabby in the distance, although the cat seemed to be hunched over something. You approached slowly; you didn't want to pick a fight, not with the odds being so out of your favor. In an instant, the tabby turned - locking eyes with you. "I-", you began, but your words fell at the look the cat carried on her face. "Help," she breathed. "M-my clan... as the days grows longer, my Clan becomes smaller." Desperation seemed to cloud her vision, and from your vantage point, you could clearly see what she had been hunched over - another cat, though he was clearly not breathing. "What happened?" The words are all you could get out at the sight of the fallen cat before you. "I have no time to explain here," the tabby said. "I'm Brindlestar. Join my Clan and I'll explain everything on the way back to camp. We have food and shelter for you." Sadness filled her gaze as she looked down on the fallen cat. "We need all the help we can get right now."
What do you do? Follow the cat, or leave her behind?
About The cats of BriarClan were once free to live their lives peacefully - a true showcase of the bravery and nobility that they've chosen to uphold. But the air is grower colder, and cats are beginning to disappear one by one - shadows of previous deaths that had occured in the past. It's clear that these deaths are all related, and StarClan's silence doesn't help the matter much, all while something sinister begins festering in the fields. Hope is falling; hostilities are rising rapidly. A great threat is coming, and to everyone's dismay, there is no way to turn back on the Clan's rewritten regrets.
Rules ღ Follow all forum rules
ღ Literacy is very important. Though no one expects you to write paragraphs on paragraphs, one liners are very difficult to reply to, and it's just not that fun to roleplay with someone who only ever replies with one sentence. We expect at least 3 or more sentences. Try your best to spell/punctuate sentences correctly, but if you mess up, no one's going to reprimand you for it.
ღ Activity is also obviously pretty important. I'd prefer if everyone was on at least once or twice a week (at the very least), but if you'd like a higher role (deputy, medicine cat, rogue leader, etc.), then I'll expect you to be on a lot more. If you know you're going to be inactive for an extended period of time, please notify me. We all get busy here and there and that's not a problem! After a week of inactivity, you'll get a warning. After two weeks, I'll delete your characters, but you can join again if you'd like.
ღ Realism. Cats aren't ever born with pink or green fur - the cats of BriarClan live near mountains. As a result, their fur is typically different variants of black and gray, though other colors aren't uncommon. Likewise, cats would't name their kits things they've never heard of (Dragonfur, Carpaw, etc). Also, everyone has their flaws. Perfect characters aren't typically fun to roleplay with, and I don't want the flaws you say you have during an interview ("What are my weaknesses? Oh, I work too hard"). Have genuine flaws. Finally, no one lives forever. If a mountain goat were to attack camp, not everyone would survive. Kits don't always survive leaf-bare, and there's always at least a few casualties in a battle. Characters passing on to StarClan often adds a lot to the plot.
ღ Respect other roleplayers. If someone's replies seem a little short for your taste, make suggestions on how they could improve. If you're on the other end of that, taking constructive criticism will help you in the long run! Despite that, if you're directly criticizing another member/have a personal vendetta against someone, keep it off this thread. BriarClan is meant to be a safe space for everyone, and if you're not willing to accept that, then I won't hesitate in removing you.
ღ Romantic relationships/crushes should develop over time (unless two cats have been mates for a while and already have grown kits - I'd prefer if you didn't join as a queen, though if you'd really like to join as one - a heavily pregnant one, for example - then go for it :-) little kitties running around camp is always fun). Add "rose gold" in the "other" section of the joining form. Don't have two of your own characters be in a relationship together, and I'd prefer if two of your own cats weren't siblings either. Ask around and see if anyone has characters that need siblings/kin! It adds an extra dynamic to the roleplay
ღ Have at least a 2-1 ratio of male to female/female to male. If you make 4 females and 1 male, then I'll ask you to either make another male, or delete one of the females. This ensures that everyone can get a mate eventually, and it also fits in with the realism rule - no Clan is ever comprised of only females or males.
ღ Powerplay, godmodding, or anything of the sort isn't allowed. It's fine if your character has the spotlight once or twice, but know that the world does not revolve around them. Your character cannot take down a mountain goat alone, and though I did say characters need to die eventually, you can't kill someone else's character without explicit permission.
Characteristics BriarClan cats are skilled mountain climbers. Therefore, their pads are hardened, and their legs are strong. Also, the cats of BriarClan have adapted to be able to walk through the sharpest of briars without so much as a scratch, though some less fortunate are born without this adaption, though the numbers are low.
Typically, BriarClan cats' pelts aren't too long or bright, considering the duller landscape that they live in. In contrast, most of the rogues living in the field have brighter, longer pelts, since they haven't grown in the canyon like the Clan cats.
Plots
Moons ago, Brindlestar elected Jackalclaw as deputy. However, Cypresswhisper had expected the position, and at the news, she revolted. She began going against the Clan in every way - stealing prey in attempt to make the Clan go hungry, training her apprentice so as to make them a useless asset to the Clan, and even going as far as to trying to poison kits. When Brindlestar caught wind of it all, she was forced to exhile Cypresswhisper, much to her sadness.
Over the moons of Jackalclaw being deputy, he's made mistakes - as many have. One of his mistakes was allowing a patrol to go out while the rain beat down, and as a result, the Clan lost Poppylight after she slipped off the top of one of the mountains. Moons later, an eagle attacked a patrol that Jackalclaw was leading. The tom was unable to save Honeypaw, and she was found days later at the edge of the forest - covered in feathers.
Now, Cypresswhisper has resurfaced; she's dropped her warrior name - now going by Cypress - and has a pack of rogues behind her. One fateful day, a patrol was sent out to scout out the bottom of the mountain. On that day, the patrol was horrified to see Silverdusk’s body laying at the bottom - just as Poppylight's was. Curiously, it's obvious that Silverdusk didn't just slip and fall to his death - no, he has wounds all over their body - his death was premeditated. Not just that, but it's clear who was the cause of Silverdusk's death.

Territory The cats of BriarClan live in a canyon. East of the canyon lay a great forest, which, come green leaf, is alive and lush. Past the forest, there's a field which seems to span for miles. The cats of BriarClan aren't the most skilled at climbing trees, and don't often venture far into the forest; therefore, the rogues are the ones who mainly reside in the field.
Camp is located to the west, in a canyon created over the moons by the weathering of the mountains. Within the canyon, each rank has their own den - caves carved into the walls of the mountain. When following the stream, there's an opening that leads directly into the canyon - which is where the cats enter. Each den - excluding the nursery - has a wall of briars at the entrance to keep potential intruders out.
The leader's den is the most exposed to the world, as it sits closely to the front of the entrance. Inside, the bedding is made of moss, which is replaced often.
The medicine den is also near the front of camp, in case a wounded cat comes in and doesn't have enough time to make it farther. Inside, the floor is uneven (though not sharp), and in the corner, there's a large dip in the ground - perfect for storing herbs.
The warriors' den is farther back in the canyon, and is much larger than the other dens. Although it's considered the least "comfortable" den, the comfort is still there in the moss and leaf bedding layed out for each individual cat. The deputy sleeps in the warrior's den as well, though they sleep at the very front.
The apprentices' den is positioned directly near the warriors'. Apprentices are expected to collect both theirs, and the elders' bedding, and so, each bed varies. While some are made with a mix of moss and feathers, others are simply just dry leaves.
The elder's den is near the very back of the canyon (as a form of a safety precaution). The entire floor of their cave is littered with feathers and moss, so no matter where they are in the den, they'll be comfortable. A warrior is always positioned at the entrance of the elders' den (the warrior switches daily) and so, there's moss bedding placed at the entrance.
The nursery is the only den that isn't a cave in the walls of the canyon. The nursery is a large hole dug underground, directly near the warriors' den. The ground, much like the elders' den, is covered with a mix of feathers and moss to ensure safety and comfort for the queens and kits. Again, much like the elders' den, there's a bed of moss at the entrance, since a warrior always sleeps directly outside of the nursery at night.
The stone of gathering sits in the middle of the stream that runs through the center of the canyon. Leading up to the stone, there are a number of stepping stones.
Star rock is a rock located on top of the mountains. The trek up to it is long and dangerous, and is usually only ever done once in a cat's life - their final assessment. However, it's also done by the leader or medicine cat if they are in desperate need of StarClan. Once there, the leader/medicine cat will sleep on the rock, and StarClan will be able to speak to them directly through their dreams. The Clan will patrol the high walls of the canyon occasionally, but they rarely, if ever, will go up to the height of Star Rock.
Animals
prey ღ fish - common ღ mice - common ღ squirrels - common ღ rabbits - uncommon (more common in rogue's territory)
predators ღ elk - common ღ mountain goats - common ღ eagles - common ღ rattle snakes - common ღ coyotes - uncommon ღ bighorn sheep - uncommon ღ mountain lion - rare
Weather It is currently
leaf-bare ღ new-leaf ღ green-leaf ღ leaf-fall
The air is getting colder, and though prey is getting scarcer, it's still found fairly easily. The sky is clear.
Traditions ღ The leader calls meetings from the stone of gathering, though their voice can only be heard when the water is calm. If, for some reason, the water is rushing violently, the cats take it as an omen of StarClan's unhappiness, and leaders will refrain from conducting gatherings while the water is in that state.
ღ An apprentice's final assessment is always the same - climbing the mountain up until Star Rock. They are required to go in groups, and must have at least one warrior with them for safety, though the warrior isn't allowed to intervene unless a life is in danger. Apprentices passing their assessment is a very large deal in the Clan, and once the apprentices make it down from Star Rock, the rest of the Clan spends the entirety of the next day hunting. Once the fresh-kill pile is large, the Clan feasts. Afterwards, apprentices are given their new names.
ღ Every new moon, the cats of BriarClan will sleep outside of dens - listening to the trickling of the stream to fall asleep, and being watched over directly by their ancestors in the stars.
ღ Mothers who have kits are made a crown of roses. Although the cats are no longer harmed by them, the briars on the crown are still used to represent the pain the mother went through for her kits. Each kit is given a petal from one of the roses.

BriarClan - Allegiances
Leader-- ♀ | { Brindlestar } | { 29 moons } -- Brindlestar is a lithe, short-furred golden tabby. Her large, owl-like eyes are a bright green, while her paws are all white, all except for one. The she-cat's tail is also tipped with white, as are her ears and underbelly, as well. The tabby considers herself very social, though when she gets upset, she tends to shut off, and instantly goes to be alone. Loyalty is one of her utmost priorities, though she tries her best to analyze every situation rather than making rash decisions. She's skilled in holding her tongue, and as a result, comes off as very sweet to her Clanmates. Brindlestar is one to enjoy the finer things in life; despite her still having all nine lives, she cherishes the one she's currently living as if it's her only chance. She carries herself with dignity, and tries her best to hide her fears and worries as to not alert the others around her. Therefore, she keeps many of her feelings bottled in, and will often lay awake trying her best to fix her own problems, because she feels as though she was the source of it all - all while she refuses to lay her problems onto others. She is a fairly new leader to BriarClan, and so, has yet to lose any of her lives.
Sister of Moonstep, Silverdusk and Jackalclaw }
rose } Deputy-- ♂ | { Jackalclaw } | { 42 moons } -- This fellow is a sleek silver tabby with a heart of gold. On his lean frame are white speckles around his muzzle, semi-markings, a tawny nose and blue eyes. A scar runs down his chest, but no one knows who did it or when and why. Jackalclaw has a light striped tail, which is longer than average. His fur is short and Jackalclaw is always clean hence his fur. As deputy, he tries to be kind, but can have a short-temper. Jackalclaw wants to be liked by everyone, and succeeds most of the time. But for some, it just doesn't cut. He is a dedicated and self-conscious, which can get in the way of his duties. Jackalclaw is a clanborn cat whose parents left the clan for an unknown reason.
Brother of Brindlestar, Moonstep, and Silverdusk }
❉ ᴀᴍ ɪ ᴀ ᴊᴏᴋᴇ ᴛᴏ ʏᴏᴜ? ❉ }
Medicine Cat-- ♂ | { Moonstep } { 29 moons } -- Moonstep is a dark silver tom with a white muzzle. His paws are mostly solid gray except for the fur around his pawpads, which are white and give him his name. Ever since he was a kit, he loved the idea of becoming a medicine cat and he has dedicated himself to his job very well. He is friendly and has no qualms with any creature, except apprentices who don't thank StarClan for the life of the prey they catch. Moonstep is helpful and loyal to each member of the clan, but he doesn't feel as connected with them as he does with StarClan. He's not involved in politics either, which can be harmful when the leader looks to the medicine cat for advice and insight. To him, his leader is still his sister, though they walk different paths.
ℜ𝔞𝔠𝔠𝔬𝔬𝔫𝔥𝔢𝔞𝔯𝔱 } Brother of Brindlestar, Jackalclaw, and Silverdusk }
Medicine Cat Apprentice-- ♀ | { Nightpaw } | { 6 moons } -- She is a small, jet-black she-cat with small ears, a long tail, and blue eyes. She has one blind eye, her left one. She's kind and sweet, and always wants everyone to be healthy. She's dedicated to her job, and wants to be the best Medicine Cat ever. She has a soft spot for kits, and always wants to protect them. She can be shy and soft spoken, but she is also quite stubborn.
Daughter of Darkflower, and sister of Thornpaw and Rainpaw }
tinyflame } Warriors-- ♂ | { Ashstripe } | { 38 moons } -- Ashstripe is a muscular, dark gray tabby tom. His eyes are as blue as the stream flowing throughout the canyon. When viewing him from the left, a scar running down his flank is visible - though it’s mostly healed over now and only whispers of it remain. Despite his somewhat intimidating appearance, at heart, Ashstripe is very sweet. He only wants the best for others, though the ways he shows it makes that fact difficult to understand sometimes. He doesn’t typically his back on criticism, though when he gives it, it’s always meant to be constructive. The tom’s scar was earned during a quarrel he had with a rogue during his journey to Star Rock. Although, he believes the experience has made him a better warrior. However, on that same journey, Ashstripe lost his brother - Swiftpaw.
rose } -- ♂ | { Bluepelt } | { 68 moons } --
Bluepelt is blueish-grey tom with slight tones of dark grey in the neck and leg areas. He has brilliant green eyes and a long tail. His ears are particularly long, he is constantly referred to as blueblue, bluebell or moon because of his coat colour. He's an average height and muscular around the leg and neck areas, which give him an intimidating approach. Bluepelt is in no way irrationally aggressive or rude to others, he is a strong believer in karma and believes that whatever is delivered is to be handed back with a rough smack. Once his true colours are revealed, most others think of him as highly spectacular. Yes, he may not be excellent at hunting or fighting, but he's a true friend and will protect anyone, even with his life.
s u n s h i n e }
-- ♂ | { Hawkfeather} | { 42 moons } -- Hawkfeather is a muscular long haired dark brown tabby tom with pale white ear and tail tips. His eyes are icy blue color along with his stature it can make him look very cold hearted and blunt. Hawkfeather though is a ‘gentle giant’. He is very friendly and works hard for what he believes in. The only downside is due to how cruel he looks some tend to fear him.
Wolfsteps } -- ♀ |{ Lilacpatch } | { 27 moons } -- Lilacpatch is a pale brown she-cat with darker brown undertones. She has black paws and white socking above the black and then her tail is black with a white tail tip. She has white on the tips of her ears and some streaking of black underneath her eyes and on her neck. Finally, she has heterochromia and so her left eye is a bright amber and her right eye is a pale yellow. Lilacpatch is a very calm and collected she-cat. She thinks logically about everything and looks at things from all viewpoints before making decisions. She is a great hunter because of this and a good strategist in fights. Her small build causes for her to be a poor fighter.
Jekyll }
-- ♀ |{ Mattedpelt } | { 43 moons } -- Mattedpelt is a long-haired dark gray she-cat. Her fur is constantly matted and seems to be unable to stay clean so she just stopped trying to untangle it. Her eyes are a pale gray/green. Mattedpelt is a very bubbly she-cat and loves to be around others. She makes jokes and loves to play pranks as well and so some think of her as childish and others will sometimes snap at her and tell her to grow up but she decides to not listen to them.
Sister of Sagewhisker } Jekyll }
-- ♂ | { Russetblaze } | { 36 moons } -- Russetblaze is a slender tom with large green eyes. He has warm bronze ground color across his head, shoulder, outer legs, back and tail. The color is at its darkest at the "saddle" area, and from there the color lightens on the sides to tawny buff. His belly is a beautiful creamy ivory color, his nose is a brick red and ears have brown-black tips. Russetblaze appears stoic but has a terrible temper in certain situations, he's cautious around new things and others. He's very protective to those close to him but tries not to show it and willing to put other before himself. Russetblaze isn’t very outgoing after and has made himself distant although he does enjoy a little company from others. Russetblaze is blunt and outspoken but he does try to be nice and cheerful but he comes off rude. He isn’t bother what he might say to others and tends to have a lack attention to others feelings.
Brother of Stoatclaws }
Taiyou }
-- ♀ | { Sagewhisker } | { 43 moons } -- Sagewhisker is a black smoke she cat with a feather like tail and amber eyes. Sagewhisker has a black overcoat that get lighter hints on grey and brown in some places. Sagewhisker is a bit rough around the edges, she would claw someone ears off if they approach her the wrong way. Sagewhisker is firm and headstrong although she tries mean well she was a habit of being overbearing and protective. Sagewhisker is also rather prideful not willing to admit when she makes a mistake or if she's needs help. At times Sagewhisker can be understanding that violence isn't the answer to everything and will try a peaceful approach to situations, also helping those in need of help. Sagewhisker can be quite cheerful and friendly around cats she knows well and trust, once pass her hard shell Sagewhisker is a kind and caring staying loyal to those close to her.
Sister of Mattedpelt }
-- ♀ |{ Shadowstep } | { 28 moons } -- Shadowstep is smaller build she-cat with short dark gray fur and her front right paw to her elbow is jet black along with a jet black tail tip. She has a slight tear in her left ear from her early days as an apprentice when she went missing. Her eyes are a deep amber color. Shadowstep is normally a very quiet she-cat and tends to keep things to herself, but when it comes to hearing someone belittling or being unkind she tends to step out of her quiet nature and try to stop the unkind actions or argument. Shadowstep is pure Brairclan blood, but when she was around 8 moons old she disappeared from camp one night and no one could track her down. After 6 moons that she was missing most thought she was deceased,but she was found by a patrol found her in a makeshift den in a hollowed out stump where the forest begins, she tells everyone she couldnt sleep and went exploring and got lost and was trying to find her way back.
Wolfsteps }
-- ♂ | { Stoatclaws } | { 36 moons } --
Stoatclaws is a Havana brown cat. He has a luxurious, mink-like coat, a delicate but sturdy body, and striking emerald eyes. His fur is a rich brown hue that strays toward a beautiful red/brown that has a warm, rippling look. His head is long with a bulb-shaped muzzle light most cats of the breed and he has brown whiskers. He has oval eyes that are a pale amber hue. He's a very kind and caring tom, always there if someone wants to talk and get something off their chest. He's ready to put down his life for his clan if needed and wants to do his best always.
Brother of Russetblaze } Jekyll }
-- ♂ | { Thornblaze } | { 25 moons } -- Thornblaze is a sleek, short haired dark brown town with amber eyes. His tail is longer than an average cat’s, and the tip of his right ear, as well as his back right paw, is white. Thornblaze is one to claim that he’s unaffected by others’ opinions of him, while deep down, all the tom craves is validation. His personality often changes subconsciously - to fit in better with the cat he’s currently speaking to. Overall, the tom is quiet and reserved, but in hunting or fighting scenarios, the tom is incredibly skilled - which is what earned him his suffix. During his youth, Thornblaze was given a lot of affection by his mother. However, near the end of his apprenticeship, she gave birth again - this time, to the current Yewpaw. The end of his apprenticeship stripped the affection that his mother would often show for him away, as she chose to spend all of her time away from him, and rather, with Yewkit. The anger made him blind to his younger sister’s kind personality, and fueled his training. Now, as a warrior, his mother has passed away to StarClan and he’s grown from his time in apprenticeship - and not just physically. He’s warmed up to Yewpaw significantly and forgave his mother. Elder brother of Yewpaw }
rose }
Apprentices -- ♂ | { Brackenpaw } | { 9 moons } -- Brackenpaw is a short furred, dusty brown tom with light blue eyes, flecked throughout with spots of green - almost reminiscent of sea glass. The tom is built slightly smaller than the rest of his Clanmates - making him appear nearly kit-like next to the larger warriors. Brackenpaw is a sweet tom - seemingly lacking a single bad bone in his small body. Though snide remarks will occasionally go through his head, the apprentice could never bring himself to say them. Despite his kindness, the tom has difficult training; he’s often distracted by the little things - a branch falling or a stone that seems to be slightly out of place. As a result, he’s a good strategist, but poor at hunting and fighting. However, the tom can’t help but feel a constant guilt at the thought that others will look down on his mentor for not being a good teacher, and so, goes out of his way to be the best apprentice he possibly can be. And so, whenever Brackenpaw does succeed - whether it be at catching a mouse, or successfully pinning one of his fellow apprentices down in battle training - his excitement can get the best of him and he can begin acting like a kit; he’d never brag about his achievements, though.
Frogpaw’s brother }
rose }
-- ♀ | { Rainpaw } | { 9 moons } -- Rainpaw is a long furred, light gray she-cat. Her large, round eyes are a soft shade of green - much like the leaves that begin to lose their brightness as one of the first signs of leaf-bare. Rainpaw has a specific softness - an innocence - about her. When she cares, she cares deeply and with every part of her being. Though, as a result, she often gets emotionally invested in others, even when the care isn’t reciprocated. Daughter of Darkflower, sister of Thornpaw and Nightpaw }
rose }
-- ♂ | { Softpaw } | { 6 moons } -- Softpaw is a fluffy brown tom with white flecks on his chest, paws, tail, cheeks, and ears. He has a black streak on his underbelly and his left ear tip is black as well. He has deep blue eyes that shine with kindness. Softpaw can be rather shy but once he gets to know you is very nice and loving. He is gentle and, like his name implies, a big softy. Jekyll }
-- ♂ | { Thornpaw } | { 6 moons } -- He is a large dark brown tabby tom with dark green eyes. His claws are longer than most, and he has long legs. His tail is long, and his fur is short and soft. He is kind to everyone, and very calm. He doesn't anger easily, but is very stubborn. He's loyal to his Clan, and would give his life to protect it. He likes to avoid arguments, and doesn't like to hear yelling, sometimes hiding from cats who are yelling.
Son of Darkflower, brother of Rainpaw and Nightpaw }
tinyflame }
-- ♀ | { Yewpaw } | { Apprentice } | { she-cat } -- Yewpaw is a short-haired she-cat who has a thin, spindly figure but a fluffy tail. Her fur is a pale white with brown and black tabby markings and she has flecks of gold and amber on her neck, haunches, and face. Her tail has a dark brown tip and dark brown stripes down it. Her eyes are a soft orange/brown. Yewpaw is a nice and outgoing she-cat. She likes to run around and make friends and really loves to hear the elders tell stories. She was born partly blind though and so her eyes are a little clouded and she has a hard time with coordination and hunting.

-- ♂ | { Losttail } | { 72 moons } -- Losttail is a lithe figured tom whose fur is silver and has black marble markings across it. His eyes are a bright amber but the right one is somewhat cloudy as that eye is blind. He earned his name when he became an elder because of the simple fact that he lost his tail in a rock fall, the rockfall also left him half blind. Losttail was a kittypet, he joined the clan when he was 23 moons old but a few moons later when he was 27 moons old, he got caught in rock fall. This rockfall left him halfblind and also tail less and he had to retire to the elders den early. Jekyll }

Around some he is honest and trustworthy even willing to help some cats in need rather if they are friend or foe. Birch can be blunt and straightforward, he doesn't care if comes off rude to others, as he will disregard any authority, rules and challenge any cat regardless of their position. Birch is also a hot head as his temper can get the best of him and he'll lash out at others, Birch doesn't like when unnecessary risks are taken and will stand against anything he doesn't believe is right or fair.

Warriors-- ♀ | { Dawn } | { 25 moons } -- Dawn is a lithe, short-haired she-cat. The main color in her tabby pelt is what one may describe as "sandy" though in some lights she can appear light ginger. Her paws - along with her tail - are tipped with white, and her muzzle follows suit, being white under her nose and over her mouth. The stripes that adorn her coat are a dark ginger, and her nose is a dark pink. Her eyes are green, but far from piercing, and her gaze is always soft. She also has three scars running down her flank - each of varying sizes.
Despite her soft look, Dawn is very opinionated. She isn't afraid to release those opinions, either, because she wants only the best for others, and feels that criticism is the way to improve - making her one that is difficult to warm up to. She stays on her own most of the time, yet longs for a mate; she has a soft spot for kits and wants some of her own desperately. Despite the soft spot, she is a skilled hunter and has won most of the fights that she's gotten herself into - evident in her scars. She refuses to make others clean up her messes, though will often take things into her own paws for the cats she cares about.
She was born in the wild, but elderly two-legs found her looking for food and took her in - making her a kittypet, and naming her Melody. She became incredibly attached to the two-legs, yet due to their old age, the two of them both died, and she was there to bear witness to both deaths. She retreated back to the wild and joined the rouge group, but she often drifts from them to be on her own. The experience with the two-legs has made her afraid to get too attached to anyone, and so, she spends more days away from the rogues than with them.

-- ♂ | { Storm } | { 34 moons } -- Storm is a lean pale gray tom with darker speckles of gray from top of his head down to the base of his tail. He also has longer legs then most and can easily move across the rouge group's fields with ease. His eyes are a deep blue hue. Storm is naturally a quick thinker and problem solver when it comes to how he can do something, tends to forget about the abilities of others, but when it comes to other cat's orders hew does as he's told no questions asked.
Wolfsteps } '
Apprentices-- ♀ | { Eclipse } | { 7 moons } --Eclipse is a small tortoiseshell she-cat that has a black splotch right around her left eye. Her tail is almost too long for her body but has used it to signal the others in the group over the tall grass. Her eyes are two different colors her left eye is blue and her right is green. Eclipse is normally a shy and quiet kind of cat that keeps to herself, but will speak her mind if she sees the need to whether it’s right or wrong. Not much is known about her past, other than the rouge group found her abandoned and alone when she was 4 moons old.

StarClan - Allegiances
-- ♀ | { Honeypaw } | { 8 moons } --
Honeypaw is a golden tabby she-cat with light green eyes. Her underbelly is white, and her face is speckled with flecks of brown - almost as if a monster ran past and spotted her face with mud. Honeypaw is very ambitious, and always tries her best during training. Her enthusiasm is nearly unmatchable, and her loyalty cannot be bought. Her face is always bright and happy, though she will give the occasional snide remark every so often if she feels it need be.
She died on a patrol that was searching for a lost kit. When she saw that an eagle was about to take the small kitten, she threw herself at it. Jackalclaw was unable to save her, and she was carried away. She was found by the Clan days later - dead, at the entrance to the forest }
Not anyone’s character in particular. Feel free to role-play her if need be }
-- ♀ | { Poppylight } | { 38 moons } -- Poppylight is a dark ginger she-cat with bright green eyes. Her underbelly is white, and her left ear, along with her tail, is tipped with white. Poppylight is very quiet and reserved. She never really speaks up, unless StarClan is questioned or someone is insulted. She’s not the best warrior - far from it. Whenever the she-cat does speak, though, her words are always nothing short from kind.
She died whilst on a patrol. The rain beat down hard - she could hardly see ahead of herself - she slipped off of the top of a mountain. Unable to hold on to the slippery rocks, the she-cat fell to her death }
Not anyone’s character in particular. Feel free to role-play her if need be }
-- ♂ | { Silverdusk } | { 29 moons } -- Silverdusk is a smaller than average tom, being only slightly bigger than some of the older apprentices. He seems bigger than this though because of his medium length, fluffy fur. Longer hair comes out of his ears, off his cheeks, and on his tail. He has a very shapely and proportional form, making him very nice and pleasing to look at. His face is small but shapely, with a bulb shaped muzzle, deep set eyes that stand out on him, and a small pink/red nose that has a black lining around it. His is a very pale gray, bordering a dirty white hue. The tom has darker gray tabby markings on his forehead and over his head between his ears, then down his neck before they fade out. His muzzle fades into a lighter white as does the fur right around his eyes. He has long white wiskers, red/pink paw pads, and a patch of dark gray on his front right leg. His eyes seem out of place on his light colored body as they are a pale hue of amber at the bottom before darkening as it goes up the eye. Silverdusk is a very kind and calm tom. He knows his place in the clan and doesn't wish or anything more than to be of service to the clan he calls home. The tom can be a bit secretive though. Many don't know who his parents were, what his history is, or even if he was clanborn. The only thing anyone knows is that he was found right outside the camp as a newborn and was drenched in the clan's scent. Many believe he was abandoned by one of the queen's of that time because he was so small and weak, though the truth was never found out. He keeps his thoughts and opinions to himself mainly, and sometimes can't be found by others; no one knows where he disappears to during these times.
Just recently, this tom was found dead with wounds covering his body }
Brother of Brindlestar, Moonstep, and Jackalclaw }

just a heads up, i’m visiting my grandparents for the next month and the service here is awful. i’ll try my best to rp/post consistently, just not as much as I’d like to, and adding everyone to the front page is going to prove difficult - considering i’m basically limited to only my phone to post. this is a major inconvenience to me but i hope that’s fine with everyone!

i mean, i’d say we should start with basic Clan life, and have Brindlestar send out the patrol that ends up finding Silverdawn.

brindlestar | camp | open to everyone
Brindlestar padded through the briars guarding her den. The thorns, though tangling throughout some of the she-cat’s long, golden fur, felt familiar as she exited the cave. The stream sparkled through rays of incoming sunshine, and overhead, the clouds were parting to make way for yet another clear day. Despite it all, though, a gust of cool wind spread throughout the air - a reminder, of sorts, that green-leaf was coming to a close. Still, the tabby put her head up. Greenleaf may not be blessing the Clan anymore, but StarClan only knows that I won’t let that effect anything.

Stoatclaws (In camp) With Brindlestar
The havana brown tom sat within camp, his chocolate hued fur shining in the sun that shone down into the camp, promising yet another beautiful day for the clan. As he gazed around, his eyes caught sight of their leader, Brindlestar, as she exited her den for the day. Standing, the tom stretched, sighing as he felt a satisfying pop at the base of his spine, and padded toward the she-cat, nodding his in both respect and greeting as she noticed him. "Hello Brindlestar, how are you today? Care for some prey?" He gestured toward the fresh-kill pile with his tail.

Shadowstep emerged from the warrior’s den, her amber eyes blinking the sleep from her eyes. Her dark gray fur fluffed out against the cool breeze that swept through camp. She glanced up to see Brindlestar and the fellow warrior standing outside the leaders den and flicked her tail silently thinking about the up coming leaf fall

Nightpaw was awake, talking with her siblings. "Hey! How are you two doing?" She asked curiously. She was wondering if they were okay, and if not, how she could fix it. She thought it was harder to fix emotions than injuries.
"I'm doing okay, just tired." Thornpaw replied, yawning. "I hope I get to go hunting today. I'm pretty good at that." He stretched, trying to wake up fully.

(This is for anyone that has a rouge or anything like that)
Storm silently moved across the fields that was the rouge groups home, his long legs held him up enough that he wasn’t hidden in the higher grass. His dark blue eyes reflected the sun’s rays as he glanced around the fields, alert and look for any creature, friend, foe or prey

Moonstep was probably the last cat in the clan to rise from his slumber. He typically enjoyed sleeping in when he knew the clan was prospering. Newleaf and Greenleaf had their dangers, but life in the clan was surprisingly peaceful these days. After all, his sister was leader of the clan. Each day waking up, Moonstep could scarcely believe it, and the pride in his heart was that of a new father. And why would I ever need kits when I couldn't be more proud of my family? Even his older brother was the deputy of the clan. I wonder how StarClan thinks of us. Do they think it's good to have all family in these high positions? I pray that animosity doesn't come our way.
The young tom yawned and scanned his den...Nightpaw wasn't there. Not like much needs to be done anyway. Though I should probably review her on all the herbs she knows so far.
Moonstep rose from his nest and padded into camp. "Nightpaw?"

"Oh! Moonstep! Hello." Nightpaw said, walking over to him. "Do you need me for something? I was just talking to my siblings." She was curious on what she was going to do. She got a little excited when she was curious.

"Oh! I'm sorry if I interrupted!" Moonstep apologized to his apprentice, as though he was the apprentice and Nightpaw was his mentor. While Moonstep loved his clanmates, he wasn't always the best at understanding social situations. However, he knew his bond with his siblings, and he felt he should have taken this into account when approaching Nightpaw. Sometimes he could be very anxious about how he came across to others. "There's nothing big planned. I just wanted to review herbs with you. Er...you can keep talking to your siblings for now." It's not like what I have planned will be any fun. She looks so excited to learn but...I don't know if I'm ready to teach her pultices so we have to review first.

"No, it's okay, I wanna learn some things! I'm gonna be the best medicine cat ever in the history of ever! You're a great mentor, so I know." Nightpaw replied. She looked to her siblings and said, "Sorry, but I have to do awesome medicine cat things. You keep chatting, okay, Thornpaw, Rainpaw?"

She's cocky, Moonstep chuckled to himself. He remembered feeling the same as she did...though, he was never as outspoken about it. In hindsight, it wasn't that long ago. He glanced across the clearing, finding his sister. We are both so young. How did we get here?
Death.
He gazed down at Nightpaw. "Yes, you'll be the best medicine cat in the history of forever, but don't forget -" he took this moment to gently swipe at her ear with a delicate paw. "It'll take forever to get there. I'm still here, and I think I'm the best." He lifted his chin in mock pride and began his way to the medicine den, tip-toeing snootily. All of a sudden, he drew up a back-leg in mock pain. "Ah! I must have stepped on a thorn! Oh Nightpaw, whatever am I to do?"

Nightpaw rushed forward, saying the exact procedure to take a thorn out of a pad, but really quickly. It was quite hard to understand for most cats when she did this, but she knew. "Do you want me to try to as if one is actually there? 'Cause I know you're faking it." Nightpaw asked, calming down a bit.

"No there's no need," he chuckled. "I'm a good medicine cat, bad actor. But it's good to understand when cats are faking it but still list off the procedure. That way, you're taking everyone into account. Now, what are poppyseeds for?" He tested, padding into his den. ( I know cats don't know what actors are but you get what I mean)

"Oooh! I know! They can help a cat sleep, soothe shock or distress, or ease pain." She replied, closing her eyes to think when she said what they did. "Am I right?" She asked, her eyes now wide. (I have the Warriors wiki open in another tab, so that's total plagiarism, copy+paste, but it works. XD)
