The cats of Gullyclan have lived in the valley in peace and tranquility ever since the clan was first established. However, with the passing of Willowstar, the air seems to be changing; animals are beginning to flee the territory and every cat is on edge. With dreams of an upcoming storm, one capable of tearing apart the clan, plaguing the medicine cat and Starclan oddly silent, what hope do these cats have of surviving the storm on the horizon?
You guys have probably heard and seen this a thousand times...and you're about to hear it once more; Forum rules are my rules. Please be kind and respectful to each other so that we can all have fun.Joining Please use the joining form provided and be sure to include a picture similar to the appearance of your character. If you're unable to get one posted at the current time, try to find one as soon as you can or ask for help. Also, if you'd like to make an apprentice, I ask that you also make a warrior (preferably of the opposite gender) so that we don't have a weird Apprentice:Warrior ratio.
Activity I'm not going to ask that you be here 24/7, we all have lives outside of the forums and sometimes things come up. However, if you join as a character important to the plot, I ask that you be on at least three to four days a week; And if something does come up and you are going to be absent for an extended amount of time, please let me know and I'll understand.
Literacy This is a literate rp. I'm not asking for perfection or anything, I simply request a paragraph per post, 5-6 lines at least, and no posts that are all dialogue. More than that is always welcome.
Characters Insert Rule here Your characters are yours, meaning you have full artistic freedom with them. But I ask that you don't create any characters with crazy things not seen in the books; purple fur, wings, impossible eye colors, etc. I ask the same of names as well. The cats of Gullyclan have experienced a larger variety of things than the clan cats from the books, but please do not name your characters after things the cats obviously wouldn't know or have come into contact with; Like twoleg words or objects for example. Also, no overly perfect (mary/gary-sue) characters, everyone has their flaws and, if your character does not fit this criteria, I reserve the right to request that you change your form(s).
Bloodlines Gullyclan has been established for quite a bit of time, to the point where the cats of this clan have evolved bit to better suit their territory. Therefore, if you notice your character(s) share resemblance or traits with the character(s) belonging to another member, ask if they can be related in some way. This rule is not necessarily required, but it is preferred. I also request that you not join as mates or members of your own family; parent and child relation is fine as well as rping one of the kits of your character.
Drama Any and all ideas for future plots or side plots are welcome here, I just ask that you run them by me and any other members involved first. If there are any plots ongoing, please don't kill a character involved in said plot (unless their death is part of the plot) and try to include as many members as you can.
Plageriarism Necrodancer created this awesome layout, and assisted with many other aspects of this thread. Therefore, if any of it is stolen or borrowed without her permission I will find you and make you bow down to and beg the layout goddess for forgiveness report you. The same rule applies to the characters as well as the map which I made so I will hunt you down report you for that as well.

Welcome to the valley, home to the cats of Gullyclan. Thanks to our rather spacious territory food is never too much of an issue, even in Leafbare. Although we mainly remain in the more forested part of our territory, we will occasionally venture across the river in search of extra prey or uncommon herbs. Because of our intake of larger prey, the cats of Gullyclan have evolved to become a bit bigger in size than the normal domesticated cats you'd find in Twoleg Place. The cats of the valley typically have short tails and longer, well-muscled legs to help them traverse the tall grass that covers the land. Our coats range from short to medium, but are thick and dense. Long haired cats can be found in the clan but those with them are usually outsiders or not of pure Gullyclan blood.
Gullyclan Camp. Situated on a large ledge on the side of a cliff, the camp is quite spacious with the dens having quite a bit of room inside of them as well. All of the dens, except for the one belonging to the apprentices, are caves that dip downward into the ground upon entry. The Leader's den is a bit higher off of the ground than the other dens, requiring one to use the pile of rocks as steps to enter it. The Nursery has a steeper dip upon entry compared to the other dens, making it harder for young kits (under 5 moons) to exit it without the help of a bigger, older cat. The Medicine-Cat's den, the biggest cave in camp, is to the right of the Leader's den and is covered by a curtain of vines; It's also situated closer to the ledge than the other dens so be careful. The Elders' den is located between the Warrior's den and the nursery, the opening to this den is bigger compared to the other dens, giving the elders a decent view of camp. The Apprentices' den is under a large flat rock; when the weather is nice, the apprentices tend to sleep on top of the rock and some of them can be found lounging here as well during the day. The Warrior' den is also a cave but is located just beyond the camp entrance. The Rock-Pile is a small pile of large rocks in the middle of camp that the leader, or medicine-cat depending on the circumstances, gathers the clan, makes announcements, and orchestrates ceremonies from. The Freshkill-Pile is next to the Rock-Pile, toward the ledge. To prevent cats or kits from accidentally falling off of the ledge, the steeper parts of it are protected by brambles.Landmark 2. The Moon Rock. A large flat rock situated on a small island between two waterfalls. Cats seeking to consult with Starclan come here on half moon nights and rest on the rock. There are two cherry blossom trees located nearby that tend to scatter petals around the area on windy days. It's also a good place to fish during the warmer seasons, but the water here is usually the first to freeze up when it begins to get cold.
Landmark 3. Stepping Stones. A series of stones jutting out from the cliffside that allows the clan to easily hop up or down them when leaving or returning to the cliffside they call home.
Landmark 4. Training Grounds. A spacious, mostly empty, clearing where apprentices are trained in hunting and fighting techniques.
Landmark 5. The Field. A majority of the prey we hunt are located here. The hills house Hares year round (although they burrow a bit deeper into the ground when it gets cold) and birds and squirrels are usually found in the more forested areas of the fields. Deer can also be found her year round, but we don't hunt them unless given permission by the leader, deputy, and medicine cat to do so. Any cat who does is punished severely, for hunting deer without a large hunting group is extremely dangerous and can be fatal.
Landmark 6. Twoleg Campgrounds. A small clearing were Twolegs usually camp out during the warmer seasons. It is advised to stay away from the area when Twolegs are present. Occasionally, kittypets can be found here with their twolegs as well.
Landmark 7. The Bridge. A means of crossing the small stream, leads toward Twoleg Place.
Landmark 8. Stone Path. The entrance to Twoleg Place.
Landmark 9. The River. Cuts through the valley, dividing it in two. Only experience fishers fish here for the water is deeper and moves a bit faster, but larger fish can be found here.
Landmark 10. Landside Debris. A collection of trees, rocks, dirt, and stones that fell during the storm. Now serves as an entry and exit point for/to the mountains. (not present until after the storm)
Landmark 11 Abandoned Twoleg Nest. A house long abandoned by it's owners. A brilliant place to find many common herbs and mice but be cautious when inside; It's a two-story house and the floors are rotting, a heavy enough cat could easily fall through and hurt themselves.
Landmark 12 The Crater. A rather spacious crater with a few abandoned fox dens and a thorn bush in it. The ground here is quite soft under paw and, miraculously, a cherry blossom tree managed to sprout in the middle of it.
Landmark 13. Dead Tree Forest. What used to be a luscious pine forest is now dead due to a fire that ravaged this side of the river long ago. While, elsewhere in the territory, some of the trees have grown back, the same cannot be said for this section here. Crows, ravens, corvids, and moles can be found here, but so can the occasional vulture so be stay aware of your surroundings when traversing the area.
Landmark 14. Old Farmland. An old, abandoned, overgrown farmland long since abandoned by it's owners. Now it serves as a great source of prey (birds, mice, rabbits, and the occasional wild pig). Because of this, however, quite a few predators frequent the area as well (large birds, foxes, and snakes/adders).
Landmark 15. Abandoned Barn. The rarer herbs are found here as well as lots of mice and owls.
Landmark 16. The Mountains. Exactly as the name says. The clan cats never venture here, however due to the presence of wolves who are not afraid to let themselves be known. Thankfully, the wolves have no way to exit the mountains...right?
As far as prey we hunt a variety of mice, hares, birds, voles, small fish (Moon Rock), big fish (the river), moles (right side of the territory), the occasional wild piglet (right side of the territory), and the occasional fawn (left side of the territory) should food become particularly scarce. Predators, or animals that are quite dangerous to approach, include a variety of foxes, badgers (left side of the territory), birds of prey, snakes/adders (right side of the territory), and, most importantly, wolves; Thankfully the wolves mainly remain in the mountains and have no way of entering our territory thanks to the steep cliffs that surround the valley...right?

Dapplestar
This once beautiful tortoiseshell-tabby she-cat has lost some of her luster with her old age. Her dappled pelt that was once well-groomed and soft is now battle scarred and prickly. Her ears appear worn and tattered and the wisps of ginger swirled throughout her pelt that were once bright and vibrant now look to be rather dull. The one physical trait of hers that she has retained from her youth are her intense forest green eyes. Much like her appearance would suggest, Dapplestar is not as young as she used to be. On her last life, and having out lived her blood relatives, the somewhat ancient leader of Gullyclan is more than ready for her retirement. She's undoubtedly served her can well, having gave up eight of her lives to protect and provide for them since she became leader many moons ago. The only thing preventing her from joining the elders is the hesitance and anxiety she senses in her deputy. Dapplestar has always wanted what was best for her clan and, for a long time, she refused to pick a deputy, arrogantly believing that only she was capable of properly leading her clan. However, as she aged, she quickly realized that the times were changing and she wouldn't be around forever. She sticks by her decision of picking Adderfang to succeed her, despite his secretive and secluded nature, due to his dedication and loyalty to the clan. Lately, Dapplestar hasn't been leaving her den, let alone the clan camp, but refutes the rumor that she has fallen ill. The only cats who she is honest with about her health is her deputy, the medicine cat, the medicine cat apprentice, and a few elders. Moth's Wish
Adderfang
Ambitious, fiercely loyal, and cunning, this deputy is not one to be taken lightly. Adderfang is a smokey blue pointed tom with murky blue-green eyes. His medium-haired coat is thick and, when combined with his strapping, well-defined muscles, casts quite the intimidating and bulky appearance on to what would otherwise be described as a delicate, lithe, well-kept young cat. Gullyclan's deputy doesn't take to newcomers too well, but treats those he's accustomed to with respect. Adderfang, as a young kit, was separated from his mother during rather arduous leafbare. At the time he was found and taken in by the clan, there weren't any queens in the nursery. As a result, most of the older cats, mostly elders, aided in raising him into the dedicated warrior he is now. Not a single cat can question Adderfang's loyalty; they've seen him bleed for his home, starve to feed the others that he considers family, and turn any apprentice he's had the privilege of receiving into talented warriors. However, there is something just...off about Adderfang; a cold, dark look sometimes drifts into his eyes when he finds himself deep in thought and his presence seems to carry an odd chill as well. Most are convinced that the deputy is certainly keeping some type of secret; but no one dare question him about it. Despite his reputation, Adderfang can be seen in a laid-back and easygoing state, but only within camp and in the presence of his close friends. Moth's Wish

Rarerain A small and petite thing, this she-cat is even smaller than average munchkins. With the short, stubby legs that are found within the breed, she is an extremely little thing that could easily be mistaken as a kit or apprentice. With pale silver/white short fur, this she-cat is rather pretty. The only inkling of a different color within her fur is that of her tail and ears. Her ears are fully colored with a deep gray hue while her tail fades into it, cuts off, starts again, cuts off, and then finishes with the color again, making an odd striping pattern since the first cut off is mixed with the dark grey and silvery white while the second cut off shows only that of the silvery white. With round, medium sized eyes that are the color of clouds when they begin to darken for storms, this she-cat is purely made of shades instead of color. She has a friendly demeanor and is never against others approaching her it's just that like that of shades, her personality is rather gray as well. She lacks depth in a way, being calm and not speaking much. She follows blindly, does what she's told, sticks to the rules, and barely ever is seen doing anything others may count as fun. Jekyll Stagleap A very lanky and thin bodied tom, this tom is a ginger and white tabby, the tabby markings only being cross his ginger coloring though. With a thin, narrow head and short white whiskers, this tom is made more for speed than strength. He has a pale pink nose and paw pads, white claws, and a medium length, thin tail. His eyes are large and round, colored a deep amber hue, though the right one has a bit of green near the pupil. This tom is a very speedy talker and runner, his mind itself seeming to run a thousand pawsteps a second. He can be a bit fidgety and odd mannered, something that is odd to outsiders but his clan knows is normal of the tom. He is very kind though and enjoys helping out anyone, be that the elders, apprentices, or queens, or anyone else. Never being much of a fighter, this tom instead enjoys hunting the most and loves a good long run. Jekyll Branchlegs Branchlegs is a very thin bodied tom with tabby patterned, short fur. His tail is short with a bulb shaped tip and the tom himself gains his name from his long, spindly legs which make up more than half his height. He has darker black stripes on his front legs and his head is adorned with larger, thin ears that face to the sides most of the time. The tom has a wider muzzle and a dark pink nose and paw pads, along with medium length white whiskers like his father. A bit of ginger coloration shines through on the front of his shoulders and haunches, along with on his face. The tom has yellow/green eyes with a small bit of blue deep within them. This tom is a very fast and agile tom thanks to his longer legs, along with also being a great jumper. He enjoys hunting the most, having never been as good at fighting as his father was. Branchlegs is very kind and level headed, though is normally always moving around so to talk to him, you have to catch him first. Jekyll. Silentshadow Silentshadow is a very thin, lithe bodied she-cat, being the breed of an oriental shorthair. They have, as said, very short fur that is sleek and the color of the night sky. She also has a narrow face with a bulb shaped muzzle, and large, front facing ears with pink insides. Her tail is thin is and has a light bit of brown on the underside, more of the brown being seen slightly on the backs of her legs and paws. The she-cat has wide, oval shaped eyes and a triangular black nose, with black paw pads and long white claws as well short white whiskers. Her eyes shine a pale, yellow/green hue and her pupils are normally very narrowed and small. Silentshadow gained the name of Silentkit because of how little she speaks, not even mewling when she was born. To this day, the she-cat is normally very quiet, and because of this she is often times the one others go to if they just need to talk to someone. As she grew, it was found that because of her silent and her dark coat, she was gifted in stealth, often times scaring others as she popped up out of nowhere, gaining her the prefix shadow when she was made a warrior. Jekyll Scorchsong Small but lithe, this is a handsome young tom. Careful and quiet, this is a tom who prefers to keep himself to himself and watch from the shadows, willing to help but largely preferring to keep his opinions unknown and his beliefs silent. However, he is a loyal creature and a brave fighter when it comes down to it. Marked with a ginger coat so dark it borders on golden, he is striped with shades of dark brown and black all across his small frame, splashed black at the ears and across his chest. His eyes are a pale silvery blue. Be wary around this tom, for he is a capable secret keeper and known for his capacity to wind the truth the way he wants it to sound, but know once he is your friend, there are few more loyal than he. 🇳ᴇcʀᴏᴅ🇦🇳cᴇʀ Riverflower Elegant and small, she is named aptly for her ability to adapt and change depending on the way the world changes around her. Good natured and sweet, but gifted with a silver tongue that would surprise most that took her simply at face value, she knows how to use it when needed, but for the most part keeps to herself for she simply doesn't have a cruel bone in her. Naïve to a failure, but loving to anyone who needs her help, this is a cat who you'd do well to be friends with. Small with a silky silver pelt, she is splashed with shades of whites, greys and blacks to create a rather beautiful silver tabby, her eyes ice blue. 🇳ᴇcʀᴏᴅ🇦🇳cᴇʀ
Bluepaw Bluepaw is a medium-haired, smokey, blue-gray she-cat with moss green eyes. Despite her lithe, athletic build, she's rather lazy for a cat her age and prefers to spend her days playing with her friends or fishing by the river. She doesn't take battle training to seriously due to the peace the cats of Gullyclan have maintained since before she was born. Due to her lack of experience in this department, if a threat should present itself, Bluepaw is more likely to choose flight over fight. Other than being gentle, kind, and laid-back, she's also very compassionate and generous. Moth's Wish Tigerlilypaw This cats name may be a handful, but he isn't. A kind and soft natured tom, he enjoys the simple pleasures and is relatively calm. With a base color of ginger tabby, this tom also has black legs, a black tail, black ears, a black spot over his right eye, and a large black spot across his back. His eyes shine a clear, pale amber and this tom has a pale pink nose and paw pads, along with long white whiskers. Named after the flower he shares his colors with, this tom is often times insecure, feeling he has a difference from others. Be it the way he looks or that he didn't really act like a kit when young, this tom is an odd one. With a calm demeanor to mask what he actually feels, this tom is anything but a handful, often times trying to just help out instead of get out of line. Jekyll
Acornpaw Acornpaw is a larger she-cat, being bigger than the other apprentices and even some of the smaller warriors. She has a slightly muscled, very feminine form, with larger paws than normal, small, upright ears, and a smaller face with large eyes. She has a little pink nose, pink paw pads, long white whiskers, and white hair that sticks out of her ears. This she-cat can be mainly described as a brown tabby. Her tail is feathery, the hair growing longer the further down it goes. Her coloring also mixes, the tabby marks blending together as it reaches the tip of her tail, which is more of a acorn/chestnut brown, hence her name. She has white markings, counting a white muzzle, chest, underbelly, and paws. The white on her paws varies; on her front right paw, only the paw is white, while on her front left, the white goes up onto her leg a bit. On her back right paw, only the front half of her paw is white, while on her back left, the white goes up about half of her leg. Along her chest, though easily being more of her upper neck, the white curls around a bit, though doesn't reach the back of her neck. Her eyes can be described as a lighter amber hue, though not really pale or dark, being more of an in between, perhaps more of a neutral amber. Acornpaw is a very odd she-cat, though most of her oddness is just in her personality shifts. She has multiple personality disorder, meaning that she, well, has multiple personalities. She has named each one, though no one else knows that she has. There's Bubble, who is her nicest side. This personality is very upbeat and outgoing, always happy and very much a loose cannon. When she is this personality, Acornpaw will be very full of energy and normally found running around or at least fidgeting a lot, along with being very happy and nice to everyone no matter what. Another one is Mix, who is a mix really. Though Mix can be happy and nice, she isn't as energy filled, nice, and bubbly as Bubble. When Acornpaw is in this personality, she is calmer and more fixed on what she's doing, other than what she wants to do. She seems more grown when in this personality, having a mindset of an older warrior and so being a great person to go to for advice when she's in this personality. Her last notable personality would have to be Lovely. This personality is unlike any of her others and can be a bit, well flirty. When in this personality Acornpaw can be overly friendly. She will gives compliments, little pick up lines, and overall just be a huge freaking flirt to anyone and everyone. If she did have a crush, then there is a chance it would focus on them, but she does not so it's really just a free-for-all when she's in this state. There are other personalities, such as her mean side, sad side, etc. But those three are her most commonly seen. Jekyll

Blah de Blah.
Blah de Blah
Halfgaze Halfgaze is a large bodied tom, being bigger than most toms with a strong, sturdy form. He is a notable fighter and a greatly respected member of the clan, having been a seasoned fighter and a true asset during the warfare of the past. During this time, his name was Fastbreeze, as not only was he large and strong but was also nimble and quick on his feet. Despite this, the tom gained major injuries during his time of fighting, the most notable being the loss of his tail, the destruction of his right eye, and a large scar that goes down his left side. The tom's fur is short and easily described as being that of the average tabby in form of color and markings. A bit of ginger can be seen on the bridge of his nose and sides of his nose, while a bit of white is seen on his chin and under his nose, which is a dark pink like his paw pads. He has medium length white whiskers and long black claws, though several are missing. His one remaining eye is a yellow/green hue. This tom is still a very strong tom, despite constant pain from his missing eye and the wound on his side, something that never truly healed. He is a very wise and old tom, having been among the clan for many seasons now. He is always open to give advice and greatly enjoys telling stories to those who come asking for them. Jekyll
Storm This tom is the offspring of a Siberian mother and a Norwegian Forest cat father. He has a rather large but lithe build, lacking muscle and instead trading it for speed and smarts. Having superb battle strategy and hunting techniques, this tom climbed his way up to the leader position and is content to stay there. With long, flowing fur he seems larger than he is, which is still larger than most tom cats. His base fur coat is a pale gray, like the clouds when they're beginning to become heavy with rain. Creamy white spans across his chest and the front of his neck, streaming up onto the lower parts of his face and even branching down to completely cover his underbelly, the insides of his legs, and the very bottom of his tail. Darker gray hues are seen along his body, as though they were speckling, mixing in with the paler gray of his coat and blending together, like the many clouds do before a storm begins. He has very small and very few, pale ginger patches on his body, the most prominent being a small one above his right eye, and speaking of his eyes, they are a pale amber hue with dashes of green in them as well. Storm's personality is normally that of a calm and knowledgeable cat, taking time to listen to others and take into account their worries and strife. If you make this tom mad though, you had better be ready because he wasn't named Storm because of his fur. He is a seasoned and trained fighter, hardened by many seasons in the mountain and has even had to face wolves head on. He is battle hardened, fierce, and when he goes to fight, it is like a storm raining down upon the land, destroying everything in its path. Storm was born during a particularly difficult winter within the mountains. His mother died during the birth, himself taking part of her name and so being known of Root for a good portion of his life. When the group he lived in began to die out, Root left, hoping that with one less mouth to feed it would mean the current kits would be able to survive, even though he was barely 7 moons at this time and still very much a kit himself. Forced to grow up quickly within the harsh environments of the mountain he gained a name for himself as one of the fiercest cats you could come across. He gained followers and steadily, his group grew into what it now is. He changed his name to Storm and finally left behind his past, looking toward the future that he was fighting to give his group so that they would not die out like his last one. Jekyll Onkódis Onkódis is, in one word, massive. He is a Maine Coon with muffin feet, a form of polydactylism. This tom is even bigger than a normal Maine Coon and he isn't done growing yet. His head is the size of a basketball and his body is as long as a kids bike. He head reaches to almost mid thigh on a two-leg and his paws are the size of a normal cats face. His fur is very long and fluffy, feathering out on her ears and sides of face. He is a series of white, silvers, and grays all spotted and patched along his fur. He has a small bit of brown under his nose where his whiskers come out and his claws are long and black. He has long, white whiskers and a large pink nose with black speckling. His paw pads are white and his ears are very large. He has beautiful silver eyes that have just the slightest hint of blue as well and has tail is long and feathery soft. Onkódis, despite his size, is a sweetheart. Jekyll Xena Xena is a Chausie cat. Lithe, long, and powerful, the Chausie is a strikingly beautiful cat whose eye-catching features are the result of crossbreeding the domestic cat (Felis catus) with a non-domesticated wild jungle cat (Felis chaus). A well-structured, healthy Chausie cat is limber and lean with a passing resemblance to a mountain lion. The Chausie is a large cat with a definite likeness to the Abyssinian. They have a short, shiny coat and can range from colors, but Xena is more on the side of a pale ginger hue. This magnificent cat’s facial features include high cheekbones and eye colors that range from yellow to lime, with aqua-colored eyes sometimes seen, Xena's eyes are a pale amber hue. The ears are prominent, being both large and tall. Xena can be a bit on the wild side, being fast and having fantastic instincts because of her wild jungle cat side. She can be a bit of a loose cannon at times, have fluxes in her emotions at times. Normally though, Xena is very patient and ready to listen to anyone who is open to speak. Jekyll

With a base color of ginger tabby, this tom also has black legs, a black tail, black ears, a black spot over his right eye, and a large black spot across his back. His eyes shine a clear, pale amber and this tom has a pale pink nose and paw pads, along with long white whiskers. Named after the flower he shares his colors with, this tom is often times insecure, feeling he has a difference from others. Be it the way he looks or that he didn't really act like a kit when young, this tom is an odd one. With a calm demeanor to mask what he actually feels, this tom is anything but a handful, often times trying to just help out instead of get out of line. Jekyll Apprentice. Extra. Branchlegs. Branchlegs is a very thin bodied tom with tabby patterned, short fur. His tail is short with a bulbed out ended and the tom himself gains his name from his long, spindly legs which make up more than half his height. He has darker black stripes on his front legs and his head is adorned with larger, thin ears that face to the sides most of the time. The tom has a wider muzzle and a dark pink nose and paw pads, along with medium length white whiskers like his father. A bit of ginger coloration shines through on the front of his shoulders and haunches, along with on his face. The tom has yellow/green eyes with a small bit of blue deep within them. This tom is a very fast and agile tom thanks to his longer legs, along with also being a great jumper. He enjoys hunting the most, having never been as good at fighting as his father was. Branchlegs is very kind and level headed, though is normally always moving around so to talk to him, you have to catch him first. Jekyll. Warrior. Father is Halfgaze. Halfgaze. Halfgaze is a large bodied tom, being bigger than most toms with a strong, sturdy form. He is a notable fighter and a greatly respected member of the clan, having been a seasoned fighter and a true asset during the warfare of the past. During this time, his name was Fastbreeze, as not only was he large and strong but was also nimble and quick on his feet. Despite this, the tom gained major injuries during his time of fighting, the most notable being the loss of his tail, the destruction of his right eye, and a large scar that goes down his left side. The tom's fur is short and easily described as being that of the average tabby in form of color and markings. A bit of ginger can be seen on the bridge of his nose and sides of his nose, while a bit of white is seen on his chin and under his nose, which is a dark pink like his paw pads. He has medium length white whiskers and long black claws, though several are missing. His one remaining eye is a yellow/green hue. This tom is still a very strong tom, despite constant pain from his missing eye and the wound on his side, something that never truly healed. He is a very wise and old tom, having been among the clan for many seasons now. He is always open to give advice and greatly enjoys telling stories to those who come asking for them. Jekyll. Elder. Son is Branchlegs. Acornpaw. Acornpaw is a larger she-cat, being bigger than the other apprentices and even some of the smaller warriors. She has a slightly muscled, very feminine form, with larger paws than normal, small, upright ears, and a smaller face with large eyes. She has a little pink nose, pink paw pads, long white whiskers, and white hair that sticks out of her ears. This she-cat can be mainly described as a brown tabby. Her tail is feathery, the hair growing longer the further down it goes. Her coloring also mixes, the tabby marks blending together as it reaches the tip of her tail, which is more of a acorn/chestnut brown, hence her name. She has white markings, counting a white muzzle, chest, underbelly, and paws. The white on her paws varies; on her front right paw, only the paw is white, while on her front left, the white goes up onto her leg a bit. On her back right paw, only the front half of her paw is white, while on her back left, the white goes up about half of her leg. Along her chest, though easily being more of her upper neck, the white curls around a bit, though doesn't reach the back of her neck. Her eyes can be described as a lighter amber hue, though not really pale or dark, being more of an in between, perhaps more of a neutral amber. Acornpaw is a very odd she-cat, though most of her oddness is just in her personality shifts. She has multiple personality disorder, meaning that she, well, has multiple personalities. She has named each one, though no one else knows that she has. There's Bubble, who is her nicest side. This personality is very upbeat and outgoing, always happy and very much a loose cannon. When she is this personality, Acornpaw will be very full of energy and normally found running around or at least fidgeting a lot, along with being very happy and nice to everyone no matter what. Another one is Mix, who is a mix really. Though Mix can be happy and nice, she isn't as energy filled, nice, and bubbly as Bubble. When Acornpaw is in this personality, she is calmer and more fixed on what she's doing, other than what she wants to do. She seems more grown when in this personality, having a mindset of an older warrior and so being a great person to go to for advice when she's in this personality. Her last notable personality would have to be Lovely. This personality is unlike any of her others and can be a bit, well flirty. When in this personality Acornpaw can be overly friendly. She will gives compliments, little pick up lines, and overall just be a huge freaking flirt to anyone and everyone. If she did have a crush, then there is a chance it would focus on them, but she does not so it's really just a free-for-all when she's in this state. There are other personalities, such as her mean side, sad side, etc. But those three are her most commonly seen. Jekyll Apprentice. Extra. Silentshadow. Silentshadow is a very thin, lithe bodied she-cat, being the breed of an oriental shorthair. They have, as said, very short fur that is sleek and the color of the night sky. She also has a narrow face with a bulb shaped muzzle, and large, front facing ears with pink insides. Her tail is thin is and has a light bit of brown on the underside, more of the brown being seen slightly on the backs of her legs and paws. The she-cat has wide, oval shaped eyes and a triangular black nose, with black paw pads and long white claws as well short white whiskers. Her eyes shine a pale, yellow/green hue and her pupils are normally very narrowed and small. Silentshadow gained the name of Silentkit because of how little she speaks, not even mewling when she was born. To this day, the she-cat is normally very quiet, and because of this she is often times the one others go to if they just need to talk to someone. As she grew, it was found that because of her silent and her dark coat, she was gifted in stealth, often times scaring others as she popped up out of nowhere, gaining her the prefix shadow when she was made a warrior. Jekyll Warrior. Extra. Storm. This tom is the offspring of a Siberian mother and a Norwegian Forest cat father. He has a rather large but lithe build, lacking muscle and instead trading it for speed and smarts. Having superb battle strategy and hunting techniques, this tom climbed his way up to the leader position and is content to stay there. With long, flowing fur he seems larger than he is, which is still larger than most tom cats. His base fur coat is a pale gray, like the clouds when they're beginning to become heavy with rain. Creamy white spans across his chest and the front of his neck, streaming up onto the lower parts of his face and even branching down to completely cover his underbelly, the insides of his legs, and the very bottom of his tail. Darker gray hues are seen along his body, as though they were speckling, mixing in with the paler gray of his coat and blending together, like the many clouds do before a storm begins. He has very small and very few, pale ginger patches on his body, the most prominent being a small one above his right eye, and speaking of his eyes, they are a pale amber hue with dashes of green in them as well. Storm's personality is normally that of a calm and knowledgeable cat, taking time to listen to others and take into account their worries and strifes. If you make this tom mad though, you had better be ready because he wasn't named Storm because of his fur. He is a seasoned and trained fighter, hardened by many seasons in the mountain and has even had to face wolves head on. He is battle hardened, fierce, and when he goes to fight, it is like a storm raining down upon the land, destroying everything in its path. Storm was born during a particularly difficult winter within the mountains. His mother died during the birth, himself taking part of her name and so being known of Root for a good portion of his life. When the group he lived in began to die out, Root left, hoping that with one less mouth to feed it would mean the current kits would be able to survive, even though he was barely 7 moons at this time and still very much a kit himself. Forced to grow up quickly within the harsh environments of the mountain he gained a name for himself as one of the fiercest cats you could come across. He gained followers and steadily, his group grew into what it now is. He changed his name to Storm and finally left behind his past, looking toward the future that he was fighting to give his group so that they would not die out like his last one. Jekyll Leader of Rogue Group. Extra. Onkódis. Onkódis is in one word, massive. He is a maine coon with muffin feet, a form of polydactylism. This tom is even bigger than a normal maine coon and he isn't done growing yet. His head is the size of a basketball and his body is as long as a kids bike. He head reaches to almost mid thigh on a two-leg and his paws are the size of a normal cats face. His fur is very long and fluffy, feathering out on her ears and sides of face. He is a series of white, silvers, and grays all spotted and patched along his fur. He has a small bit of brown under his nose where his whiskers come out and his claws are long and black. He has long, white whiskers and a large pink nose with black speckling. His paw pads are white and his ears are very large. He has beautiful silver eyes that have just the slightest hint of blue as well and has tail is long and feathery soft. Onkódis, despite his size, is a sweetheart. Jekyll Loner (Part of rogue group). Extra. Xena. Xena is a Chausie cat. Lithe, long, and powerful,the Chausie is a strikingly beautiful cat whose eye-catching features are the result of crossbreeding the domestic cat (Felis catus) with a non-domesticated wild jungle cat (Felis chaus). A well-structured, healthy Chausie cat is limber and lean with a passing resemblance to a mountain lion. The Chausie is a large cat with a definite likeness to the Abyssinian. They have a short, shiny coat and can range from colors, but Xena is more on the side of a pale ginger hue. This magnificent cat’s facial features include high cheekbones and eye colors that range from yellow to lime, with aqua-colored eyes sometimes seen, Xena's eyes are a pale amber hue.The ears are prominent, being both large and tall. Xena can be a bit on the wild side, being fast and having fantastic instincts because of her wild jungle cat side. She can be a bit of a loose cannon at times, have fluxes in her emotions at times. Normally though, Xena is very patient and ready to listen to anyone who is open to speak. Jekyll Loner (Part of rogue group). Extra.

Scorchsong. Small but lithe, this is a handsome young tom. Careful and quiet, this is a tom who prefers to keep himself to himself and watch from the shadows, willing to help but largely preferring to keep his opinions unknown and his beliefs silent. However, he is a loyal creature and a brave fighter when it comes down to it. Marked with a ginger coat so dark it borders on golden, he is striped with shades of dark brown and black all across his small frame, splashed black at the ears and across his chest. His eyes are a pale silvery blue. Be wary around this tom, for he is a capable secret keeper and known for his capacity to wind the truth the way he wants it to sound, but know once he is your friend, there are few loyaler friends. 🇳ᴇcʀᴏᴅ🇦🇳cᴇʀ . Warrior. Open to anything you'd like him for, brothers, sisters, mate, etc.
Riverflower. Elegant and small, she is named aptly for her ability to adapt and change depending on the way the world changes around her. Good natured and sweet, but gifted with a silver tongue that would surprise most that took her simply at face value, she knows how to use it when needed, but for the most part keeps to herself for she simply doesn't have a cruel bone in her. Naive to a failure, but loving to anyone who needs her help, this is a cat who you'd do well to be friends with. Small with a silky silver pelt, she is splashed with shades of whites, greys and blacks to create a rather beautiful silver tabby, her eyes ice blue. 🇳ᴇcʀᴏᴅ🇦🇳cᴇʀ . Queen. Open for everything, particularly a mate.

I know I mean we don't start with her as a queen, but they become mates after they arrive? or I make a different shecat.

Hm. I wasn't really planning any romance for Storm. It would add drama and family tension because Storm would want the kits in his group. I like it! She has a very beautiful look and a nice personality that would shock Storm but then she may be able to soften him since he's a bit guarded))

Moth's Wish likes this lol Honestly, this was one of the side-plots I had planned for the future. After the Rogue group settled in the territory and both groups want the kits so it would be like a custody battle that evolves into an all out war

Adderfang Bearing a somber expression, the Gullyclan deputy could only watch as violent coughs wracked his leader's now frail and battle scarred frame. As far as the clan knew, Dapplestar has a mild form of Whitecough and was simply distancing herself from her clan in order to refrain from spreading the disease. However, as the Medicine-Cat, Halfgaze, and Adderfang himself knew, her condition was much worse and did not show any signs of getting better. Ears flattening as he took in the tortoiseshell-tabby's chest heaving with every breath, the young tom wanted nothing more than to leave and be as ignorant to his leader's condition as most of the clan was. Despite this, the blue pointed tom rooted himself to the spot and forced himself to speak. "I've been sending patrols toward the Twoleg Campgrounds, just like you used to. I know that was an area of concern for you." He informed her somberly, receiving no response, as he usually did nowadays when he reported to her. However, he continued on. "There hasn't been any activity there as of yet, but the warm Newleaf has just begun," he flicked his tail dismissively, "and when the Twolegs do arrive, we'll keep a close eye on them." In response Dapplestar's from shook as another round of coughs plagued her. Unable to see his once mighty and proud leader like this for a second longer, Adderfang hastily stood to his paws. "I'll be back tomorrow for the morning report." With a respectful dip of his head, he quickly exited the den. Entering the camp clearing, the deputy couldn't seem to dispose of the light frown that marred his features, his thoughts running rampant. It's only a matter of time until they find out, his eyes darted around camp. Soon they'll be asking questions, demanding answers, answers that I can't give. They'll want me to step up even more than I already have and I don't know if I can be the leader that she was-is! Adderfang gave himself a shake, wanting to dispel the thoughts plaguing him. I need to talk to the Medicine Cat. Rather than disturb them, Adderfang chooses instead to head toward the prey-pile, intent on eating whilst he waits.
Bluepaw With a pleasurable, lavish stretch, the young blue-gray apprentice lounged atop the flat rock that served as the roof to the apprentices' den. I wonder if Branchlegs will take me fishing today, Bluepaw wondered as she took in the sight of their territory from her perch. The sun was high in the sky and was bathing the valley in golden light, truly a beautiful sight to behold and Bluepaw certainly enjoyed taking it in whenever she could. Movement to her left catches her attention and the young she-cat watched as Gullyclan's deputy exited Dapplestar's den with a frown clouding his normally blank expression. He has that look on his face every time he goes and talks to her, Bluepaw pondered. I wonder if they argue a lot?

Halfgaze had taken to sleeping with the leaders den by his mate, constantly alert and never fully sleeping in case she needed help at any time. As the coughs wracked her body the frail, old tom stood and moved to her side, his eyes lighting up in worry. "My love, do you need anything? Some prey perhaps?" Some would say Dapplestar had lost her charm and grace, but to Halfgaze, she was still the most beautiful she-cat in the entire world and he would do anything to stay by her side, no matter what. --- Like his father, Branchlegs did not wish to be far from his mother. What he knew was the same as the clan, that she had Whitecough, but he knew something wasn't right. Dapplestar and Halfgaze would not even let him into the den to see his mother and so his days were now filled with merely sitting outside the den, barely ever leaving his spot. He slept there, ate there, it was as if he couldn't bring himself to step even one pawstep away from the den that held his mother, lest he loose her.
