β» Clan Traits & Character Mountainclan cats are physically very well adapted to their territory because, well, those who are not don't tend to survive long. These cats are larger than average, their bodies muscular, yet with a certain agility necessary for navigating their mountainous home. They have strong shoulders and legs for climbing and jumping, both necessary skills for a Mountainclan cat. Their coats are thick and long to help insulate them against the harsh climate and their fur is typically white or dark and neutral in color to help them blend in with the terrain. Mountainclan cats tend to be very resilient and strong-willed, with a sense of pride for and loyalty towards their clan. They are wary of outsiders, as they are uncommon in the territory, and are known to be very set in their ways.
β» Territory & Landmarks
[ The Territory ] Mountainclan cats make their home in the harsh and unforgiving peaks of the Rocky Mountains and the valleys between them. Much of their territory is steep and rocky with sparse vegetation, dotted with pine trees and a few aspens. However, undergrowth becomes more common further down the mountain into the valley near The Lake. There is oftentimes snow, even early into Leaf Fall or late into New Leaf. Wildlife is common, varied and oftentimes dangerous.
[ Camp Entrance ] Mountainclan's camp is made in the side of a mountain, accessible through a tall and narrow opening about a quarter of the way up the face. A steep pathway worn by the generations switchbacks down the side of the mountain from the entrance and into the rest of the territory. This trail, while rocky and dangerous to walk, especially for young cats or in Leafbare, helps to protect the camp, as few predators or Twolegs are willing to make the trek up to the cave.
[ The Lake ] A large lake lies in the southernmost east corner of Mountainclan territory and makes up an amount of the border in that area. It is relatively shallow along the bank but deepens very suddenly towards the center. Fish and waterfowl are common, mostly in the warmer seasons. Many other animals are seen here, including predators or moose and herds of elk or deer, which can be dangerous if startled or provoked. There is a makeshift island of large boulders in the shallows of The Lake, connected to the bank by a land bridge and referred to the clan as Sunningrocks.
[ Sunningrocks ] These stones are home to a variety of rodents and snakes which makes it a good hunting spot. However, birds of prey can often be seen hunting here, so apprentices are banned from the island, although it is a nice spot for the senior clanmates to relax in the warmth of the sun.
[ Tree Float ] WIP.
[ Antler Meadow ] WIP.
[ Twoleg Cabins ] In the opposite corner of the lake, right outside of the southwestern edge of the territory is a small cluster of Twoleg Cabins. Most of the time they remain vacant but in Leaf Fall Twolegs move into them and bring dogs, which make this area dangerous and to be avoided in these moons. Traps and snares may also show up in the surrounding area around this time, so caution is warranted. Sometimes Twolegs can be seen near the lake in Green Leaf. A dirt Thunderpath trails away from these cabins and southward from the territory.

Hollowfeather β£ Redpatchβ» Plots Β» What Desperate Times Call For Although the Leaf Bare season is normally harsh for Mountainclan, this season has been especially bad. Temperatures are colder than usual, prey is scarce, and blizzards have been striking the territory on and off, making it dangerous or even impossible to leave camp for days at a time. Many cats have been lost to the conditions (be it to starvation, frostbite, sickness, or bold, hungry predators), including the clans latest deputy, and tensions are high within the clan. There are those who blame Grizzlystar for Mountainclan's hardship, claiming his leadership has failed the clan and that he should step down as leader for someone else to take charge. One tom has an especially loud voice of opposition, so much so that his words have begun to provoke outbursts, arguments, and scuffles between clanmates. Fed-up with this behavior, Grizzlystar steps in to ask the tom to stand down for the sake of peace. The tom instead challenges Grizzlystar as leader and is swiftly exiled from the clan. Most cats have mixed feelings about this decision, the exile of a warrior in these conditions essentially a death wish. Some voice their support while others are outraged. Outraged most of all by this is the tom's two sons. One of the son's leaves in solidarity with his father, while the other stays behind. However, the three toms remain in contact through the son that stayed behind, and together with supporters from inside the clan, they begin to plot an uprising against Grizzlystar.

A pack of coyotes has recently made their home near Mountainclan's southern border near the lake. Starved and desperate, the predators are not only stealing the clan's already scarce prey but targeting cats as well. Their presence is only growing increasingly stronger and more dangerous as Leafbare wears on, and it's only a matter of time before attacks begin to happen and blood is spilled on the snow.
Feel free to insert your characters into this plot at will, whether it be finding evidence of the pack in the territory, coyotes digging up prey, attacking patrols, etc. Please let me know if you have any ideas or suggestions for plots or mini-plots, or if you would like to have a cat fill a role in any of the plots above.

Grizzlystar β» mentions; Clan Meeting
The unnerving silence that had hung over camp for the past few days rang in Grizzlystar's ears. Only broken by the distant howl of wind and snow, the sound had been driving the leader mad. With so little to be done and so little resources as of late, the majority of Mountainclan had been spending their days conserving energy, huddled together in their dens for relief from the bitter cold and trying to ignore the aches in their bellies. Grizzlystar, however, had not rested for a moment. The tom hadn't left his den (a hollowed out cavern atop a high ridge against the back cavern wall of camp) for days, pacing back and forth across the smooth stone floor and thinking, thinking, thinking. Admittedly, this was one of the hardest Leafbares his clan had ever had to face for as long as he could remember and they were ill equipped to deal with it. What to do... The enormous figure pondered, paws still falling one in front of the other in the darkness of the leader's den. Finally, with a mighty shake of his shaggy, scarred head, Grizzlystar changed direction and padded out onto the high ledge outside of his den. "Let all cats old enough to catch their own prey gather beneath the Highledge!" He called out upon his clanmates, the leader's voice a rough growl rumbling low in his throat. "I have an important announcement."

Briarclaw's fur bristled in annoyance as she padded into camp, a scrawny mouse in her jaws. Looking behind her, the rest of the hunting patrol wasn't much luckier either. She dropped the mouse in the meager fresh-kill pile, padding away without another glance. In most circumstances, she would have pushed herself and the rest of the patrol until they found something good, but the cold was too much for just about anyone to bear. Briarclaw had been through many leafbares in her life, but nothing nearly as bad as this. The chill stung Briarclaw to her core., and she found herself longing for the warmth of the warrior's den before hearing Grizzlystar's call. With a regretful flick of her tail, she turned to join the rest of the clan. In the she-cat's opinion, the leader didn't look so great. The clan hadn't seen much of him in days, and at the very most he looked rather unkept. Regardless, Briarclaw stayed silent, waiting to hear his announcement.

Grizzlystar β» mentions; Briarclaw
With a swooping, golden-eyed glance around at his gathering clanmates, Briarclaw and her returning hunting patrol caught Grizzlystar's eye. He watched her set down what little they had caught, the state of the fresh kill pile causing Grizzlystar to begin pacing once more, now along the Highledge. Something akin to disappointment--not at Briarclaw, but seemingly at the clan's territory itself--shadowed the leader's expression for a moment and then quickly disappeared. "As you all know..." Grizzlystar began slowly, picking his words carefully. "This Leafbare has been particularly challenging. Many of us have faced hunger, illness, and loss." The great brown tom dipped his head for a moment of solace here, out of respect for those who had been lost to Starclan this season. "So it is out of absolute necessity, I feel, for us to adapt to the conditions and do what we need to in order for Mountainclan to survive. There are many mouths to feed yet our prey is scarce. I believe it is time for some of our more plentiful predators to instead... become our prey." The tom suggested, his expression now unreadable as he stared down at the faces of his clan, wondering how they would take this news.

Hollowfeather ~ Camp The dark tabby she cat huddled in the warriors den, eyes shut tight in her nest. She was desperately trying to ignore the ache in her belly, and the thoughts swirling in her head. Juicy prey from the bountiful greenleaf...warm weather...sunshine. She was trying to live in her memories but she was so hungry, and so cold. This may only be her third leafbare but it was most certainly significantly colder than the other two. Hollowfeather tried to pull her long fluffy tail tighter against her but the dark coloration of her fur caught her attention and reminded her of a black cat. She felt a flash of guilt at not having taken Houndpaw out today. But the young tom has learned nearly everything she had to teach and her paws were so sore from looking for prey for so long yesterday. She hoped he was finding something to entertain himself with, and hoped harder that the hunting patrol found something. She stirred at Grizzlystar's words, her copper eyes creaking open. She stiffly rose to her paws and made her way over to the highledge, not bothering to stretch because she knew her muscles would still remain tight and sore. Her ears pricked as she heard the hunting patrol return and looked over her shoulder hopefully. But her eyes darkened at their meager catch, and she returned her sullen look to her leader, sitting down unhappily. For our predators to become our prey? She repeated the statement in her head, trying to comprehend what Grizzlystar meant. She hoped he just meant the hunting birds she saw around, feeling confident enough that a few of them might be able to bring one down. But anything else would be a near impossible challenge, especially in their weakened state. She looked around at her clanmates to gauge their reactions. Cedarwhisker ~ Camp The large white and gray tabby tom followed behind at the end of the hunting patrol. All he had managed to catch was a starving squirrel, even its tail was scrawny and sad looking. He felt this utter disappointment in himself at not being able to provide for his clan. Even though his stomach was beyond the point of hunger and his paw pads were nearly bleeding, he still went out on as many patrols as he could to try and bring back prey. At least while he was out in the cold he was too numb to feel pain, and his drive carried him on regardless. As he entered the cave a rush of exhaustion overcame him but he managed to convince himself to at least make it to the fresh kill pile before he collapsed. It was then that he realized a meeting was going on so he called on his last reserves to go sit and pay attention. He listened to Grizzlystar carefully, not envying him for his position. Cedarwhisker had never had an ambition for power, instead preferring to serve his clan as a mere warrior. And he saw all the difficult decisions the enormous brown tom had to make. So that was why when Grizzlystar suggested hunting predators he yowled in support. It wasn't a very strong yowl, it held his exhaustion and desperation, but his dark green eyes betrayed his passion. He knew how hungry everyone was and his heart always twisted when he saw how thin his younger brothers were. He would take any solution to their problem and made sure it worked. (Okay, I'll leave him as that unless someone else wants to be his littermate.)

[ hey, just a quick note, i was intending for that plot to be something to be roleplayed out, not something that has already happened, just to avoid some confusion! ^^ ]
Redpatch β» mentions; Hollowfeather
Having accompanied Briarclaw and Cedarwhisker on their hunting patrol, the spotted tom returned to camp through the crag in the rock along with his clanmates. However, unlike the other two warriors, Redpatch was empty-jawed and preyless. His head was held low as he skulked into camp, hoping that no one would see him returning with nothing to offer, although this occurrence was becoming a frequent one, and not just for Redpatch. Murming a quick prayer to Starclan that the clan seemed mostly preoccupied with the clan meeting, the warrior hurried to find a seat behind his clanmates. He caught sight of a swish of dark tabby fur and approached Hollowfeather from behind, flicking her shoulder in greeting with the red tip of his tail. "Hey," He breathed quietly in greeting. "Have you eaten yet? I don't know if you saw, but we managed to bring something back..." The tom went on, omitting the fact that he himself had not actually caught anything. Yet his voice trailed off as he listened to Grizzlystar speak, his blue eyes narrowing and darting from face to face in the crowd, trying to catch their reactions. Redpatch's eyes shifted sideways to land on Hollowfeather after looking around, his expression wary. "Predators...?"

Birchtalon sat with his fellow clanmates listening to Grizzlystar speak. Though his fur was thick it wasn't thick enough to protect him from the harsh leaf bare they were currently facing, Birchtalon tried to shift closer to a clan mate for extra warming hoping they didn't mind. Birchtalon pricked up at Grizzylstar saying they would have to start hunting predators as prey, and ponder on the idea before speaking. "That will be quite dangerous, wouldn't it?" The large dark brown tom asked." We would all have to adapt to a new way of hunting and hunting anyhting like a Eagle would put many in danger. It won't help anyone if we lose warriors trying to feed the clan." He meowed looking at Grizzlystar shuffling on his paws.

Houndpaw had swiftly moved through the crowd, taking a spot next to Blackpaw. A wave of unease swept through the apprentice at Grizzlystar's announcement. He didn't exactly like the idea of chasing after predators. It was already scary enough to run into them on patrols. He knew he should be brave, he would become a warrior at some point after all. Uncomfortable saying much of anything out loud, Houndpaw lowered his voice to a volume only his sister would hear. "I don't really like this idea..."he admitted slowly.

Hollowfeather and Redpatch ~ Meeting The she cat's ear twitched in surprise as a tail flicked her shoulder, not noticing the cat that had approached from behind her. Her breath caught at the sound of the voice, realizing who it was. She dared a glance at the white tom with red patches, her discomfort forgotten as a spark of joy flashed in her chest. She made a point of looking at the fresh kill pile, pretending like she hadn't just been disappointed about the lack of food it contained. Hollowfeather wanted to respond to him but she didn't dare say a word while Grizzlystar was speaking. But her sullen mood was lightening as she got to be close to Redpatch. Hollowfeather matched Redpatch's wary expression as they locked eyes. She wasn't sure how she felt about it either, besides being nervous. She was a little taken aback by Cedarwhisker's yowl, though not surprised by the desperation in his voice. She listened politely as Birchtalon spoke but caught sight of Houndpaw as the young dark brown tom finished speaking. She did not want to lose her apprentice to a predator, but if they didn't eat soon he might die anyway. The she cat looked at Redpatch for confidence before adding her own voice to the debate, "We have to eat something otherwise we'll lose warriors regardless". She flicked her feathery tail at Birchtalon, hoping the young tom wasn't too offended by her disagreeing with him. πππ₯ Cedarwhisker ~ Meeting The white and gray tom was falling asleep on his feet but he made himself listen as Birchtalon spoke. The young warrior brought up a good point, and Cedarwhisker felt daunted by the task of all the new training and skills he would have to learn before he finally got a good meal. But he felt encouraged by Hollowfeather's words and decided to speak up again. "I've seen a lot more eagles than mice this past moon. It may be challenging, but we are Mountainclan. We can overcome this challenge, just like we've done before." the tom tried to keep his eyes open as he spoke but they were so heavy and he was nearly swaying where he sat. But it was his passion for his clan that drove him to fight for this solution that Grizzlystar had offered. At this time he couldn't see any other way. Hollowfeather's right, cats will die regardless. Might as well be with tooth and claw than miserable and starving.

Lionstripe- a golden yellow tom, Lionstripe is an outstanding fighter. His prey often escapes, for he is fairly large and often found clumsy His fur color is not meant for this. Lionstripe is 30 moons old, has an unknown mother, and a father named Birchstripe. He is an expert at scaling rock, but only in the face of danger. He has a thick layer of fluff/fur around his neck, hardly allowing a killing bite. Lionstripe is frightful when face to face to a wood mouse-("their eyes can stare you down")but hardly backs down to a badger or bear.
