POST ONE: INTRODUCTION, RULES, JOINING (you are here) POST TWO: CLAN INFORMATION, ALLEGIANCES, & RELATIONSHIPS POST THREE: MEMBERS, RP INFORMATION, & PLOTS POST FOUR: GENERAL INFORMATION INTRODUCTIONThe fire had swept through with almost no warning, kicked up by a storm in the middle of the night. Your clan had new warriors on vigil, or else it may have been too late to get anybody out at all, but as you took in the sight of flames roaring around the lake, dread shot through every fiber of your being. Cats from all the Clans were trying to make it to the increasingly-dry lake - most couldn't. Taking shelter upon the island, you simply waited for the horrific maelstrom to pass.
Once the smoke cleared, the territory was in ruins. Only ThunderClan's stone hollow camp survived completely intact, with ShadowClan's and WindClan's completely destroyed, while RiverClan's and SkyClan's camps were intact but badly damaged. As for the cats, perhaps one or two Clans' worth survived - a good chunk of them kits, apprentices, or elders, and out of all the leaders and deputies, only Silvershine of ThunderClan made it out... burned, but alive.
Prey was another matter. Virtually all the prey in the area, save the fish, had fled or burned. Even the Twolegs and their animals were gone. The clans couldn't stay. Though difficult, the choice was made by the medicine cats and elders to move the clans once again, as they had done under Firestar hundreds of moons before. Before they left, Silvershine undertook the last journey to the Moonpool of the Clan cats, in order to receive her nine lives, her leader name, and a prophecy - "beyond the ashes, five fold into one."
Nearly three moons of travel took their toll, the Clan cats following the forests as best they could, deep into the wilderness. Eventually, they happened upon an island - free of Twolegs, though some were in the area, and with assorted hunting grounds suited to cats of all five Clans.
Were there still five Clans, though? The cats had drawn closer together in both grief and suffering - but also in genuine friendships, in bonds forged in fire. When the time came, the medicine cats and elders of RiverClan, WindClan, SkyClan, and ShadowClan, acting effectively as the leaders of their clans, decided that there simply weren't enough of them left to stand apart any longer. With Silverstar being the only leader named by StarClan before they departed from the burned lake, she became the leader of the new Clan - which rose from beyond the ashes like a great Phoenix.
All is not well in PhoenixClan, however - Silverstar was young, only 32 moons when she received her nine lives, and had only been a deputy for two or three moons before that. Some warriors from the other clans now formed into one felt they would better serve as leader than the wounded, though still capable, Silverstar, and sought to take her place.
Bonds are tried, allegiances tested, and if and when other Clans come to the borders of PhoenixClan's new island, will the Clan be able to survive pressure from without along with that from within? RULESI: All forum and ghost rules apply. Enough said.
II: Stay active. I'll be running activity checks every 4 days - and if you miss four activity checks in a row, you're likely to be removed! IIa: If you need to be away for a while, tell me! I'm happy to make accommodations as best as possible. Please try and clean up any RP loose ends you can before you go, though!
III: We don't need novels, but please try to be descriptive. We all have 5+ senses, so make use of them - it's really easy to turn out more than one line in a post if you put your mind to it! In general, try to shoot for at least 40 words per character you're writing for - but the more, the better.
IV: Realistic characters are the best characters. While they don't have to be 100% true to real life, don't have cats with ridiculous coats or such. This also means let's not go for Mary-Sue/Gary-Stu characters - enjoy writing the characters' flaws!
V: Keep things appropriate. Mild swearing may be tolerated, allusion toward romance (within the boundaries of the forum rules) is fine, and fighting (without being graphic) is a given, but snipping part of a scene that pushes the rules or moving to PM (again, within the boundaries of the forum rules) would be hugely appreciated!
VI: No god-modding or RPing other peoples' characters without their permission - this also goes for killing them without their permission. Does it take too long to ask?
VII: Please include everyone in your roleplays - that includes trying to avoid making 2 of your own characters mates. Exploring the dynamic with other cats is definitely more fun than just writing with yourself.
VIII: Burma Shave.
IX: There's a certain level of kindness to be expected here. Of course, drama in character is one thing (unless it's just drama for the sake of drama or IC drama as proxy for OoC drama), but don't insult, flame, or make other people unwelcome. We're going to be welcoming LGBTQ+ characters as well, so don't go making insults or slurs on that basis or any other.
X: All major plot points must be accepted by me (Silvershine). Feel free to shoot them to me by forum PM if you don't want people to know in advance, or you can ask here. Simple things like hunting parties, romances, border skirmishes, dealing with minor predators, etc. are fine to organize amongst yourselves, but for major things, just bring me into the loop. I'm more than likely to say yes.
XI: All players must have at least one warrior per apprentice or kit they wish to play. One out of every four characters needs to be either an older warrior (>60 moons) or an elder. Please make one female and one male character (in either order), then you can go from there however you wish on gender.
XII: HAVE FUN! JOINING FORMNAME | GENDER | CLAN RANK | AGE in MOONS | USERNAME APPEARANCE: 1-2 paragraph, or picture BIOGRAPHY: 1-2 paragraph PERSONALITY: be detailed, and include flaws! RELATIONSHIPS: OTHER: Perhaps include your cat's stance on Silverstar too... WHAT IS RULE (XIII/2)?:

CLAN TERRITORYPhoenixClan territory encompasses a large island created by a split in a large river into two smaller, shallower branches. Several paths of rocks, fallen logs, or both provide access from the island to the lands on either side of the river. The island and surrounding area is fortunate to provide varied hunting grounds suited to the traits of cats from all five of the original clans. Notable landmarks include:
NINETREES | Ninetrees is the site of PhoenixClan's camp, an interconnected warren of nine large elm trees which have grown together for more than a century, creating a large, safe space beneath and within them for PhoenixClan cats (though former WindClan cats will often sleep higher in the trees to get their fresh air).
ISLAND FOREST | The island forest, surrounding Ninetrees, is most suitable to former ThunderClan cats' hunting habits - though SkyClan cats also find plentiful prey in this area, the sun-drown forest is more suitable to their abilities. Near the tip of the island, the ground of the island forest becomes somewhat swampy, providing a home for ShadowClan cats' prey of reptiles and amphibians.
SUN-DROWN FOREST | Unlike the island forest and its immensely tall but sparse trees, the sun-drown forest (so named because it is across the sun-drown fork of the Twin Rivers from the island) contains a thicker arrangement of somewhat shorter trees, and is perfect for SkyClan cats to hunt in.
PRAIRIE | The prairie, though much flatter than the moors of old, is the prime place for WindClan to catch their prey. Hares are often hunted here, as are rodents and birds (especially near the Twin Rivers). Sometimes, larger animals are found here, but cats must always be careful of birds of prey. The prairie also extends to the other side of the river fork opposite Sun-drown-place, though there is a Thunderpath close by in that area.
TWIN RIVERS | The river splits into two around the island which PhoenixClan calls its primary territory, creating the Twin Rivers. The fork closest to the Sun-drown-place is slightly deeper and therefore tends to be the richer fork for catching fish and other aquatic prey.
SUNNINGROCKS | The second known landmark to bear this name, Sunningrocks is, like the equivalent in the forest territories, a smooth rock formation in full view of the sun and a desirable place for warriors to take a break or for elders to stretch their legs. Unlike the prior Sunningrocks, this one is further inland from the Twin Rivers, sitting within the Prairie.
MOONSTONE | PhoenixClan's direct link with StarClan, the new Moonstone is at the southern end of the island, in a small cavern beneath the prairie. Both the leader and medicine cat will commune with StarClan here regularly. CLAN CAMPPhoenixClan chose to make its home among nine large and tightly clustered elm trees, which formed an intricate weave of branches all the way to the ground, within which the cats make their home. Ninetrees' thick foliage provides the cats with plenty of cover from the elements and will help them keep warm in the cold leaf-bares of the area.
ENTRANCE | The entrance to Ninetrees is actually through the roots of one of the trees which had fallen against the other eight, only to be held up and continue growing. The tangle of roots takes some practice to navigate.
GROUND CLEARING | Once a cat passes through the fallen tree's roots, they enter the ground clearing, the main meeting place for the clan. Silverstar's vantage point is a large root extending from the fallen tree, which Clan cats pass under while entering the ground clearing.
FRESH-KILL PILE | Just off the ground clearing is a small warren of branches within which PhoenixClan keeps its fresh-kill. Often, fish are kept in a smaller pile to the side of the main pile.
DIRTPLACE | A small gap in Ninetrees' branches leads out to a bush beneath which the Clan cats can make dirt.
BURIAL PLACE | Unique to PhoenixClan, dead Clanmates are actually buried amongst the outer roots of Ninetrees, in the hope that their closeness will lend StarClan a greater presence within the entire camp and keep the Ninetrees safe for generations of cats to come.
NURSERY | The nursery is within a tightly-woven tangle of branches on the ground, even more protected than the camp in general. It is furthest from the entrance of the camp, and is actually entered through either the elders' den or the medicine cat's den (though the elders' den entrance is the one most often used).
ELDERS' DEN | The elders' den is next to the nursery, and is similarly well-protected. To enter the nursery, one must usually pass through the elders' den, but the den is large enough for kits and queens not to disturb the elders, and the elders themselves don't seem to mind this arrangement, in fact enjoying telling stories to (and on rare occasions playing with) curious kits.
MEDICINE CAT'S DEN | The medicine cat's den is the last of the ground-level dens, playing home to the medicine cat and their apprentice. The den has plenty of room for both the medicine cat, any apprentices they may have, and any sick or injured cats which may need to stay there.
APPRENTICES' DEN | The apprentices' den is the first den to be entirely off the ground - cats must leap a short distance onto the branches above to enter the den. While the branches below them are plenty sturdy and create a relatively smooth floor, the apprentices' den is relatively open by comparison to the ground-level dens.
WARRIORS' DEN | The warriors' den is along a similar path to the apprentices' den, though it sits above the entrance to the camp. Again, the branches making up the "floor" of the den are plenty sturdy and solid to keep cats' paws from falling through, but the warriors' den is the most open of the dens, relying on the outer branches of the camp.
DEPUTIES' DEN | A new innovation, the four deputies of PhoenixClan (a number so chosen to ensure that the other four clans did not lose leadership positions in a clan led by the former ThunderClan deputy) have their own den - though relatively small, it provides plenty of room for only four cats and is solid and well-protected from the elements.
LEADER'S DEN | Silverstar's den is only slightly smaller than the deputies' den, but unlike them, she keeps her den to herself. Sitting atop the nursery and the elders' den, she is in the perfect position to spring to their aid if needed, as well as to seek the elders' advice if she so requires. She'll also meet with her deputies on a regular basis, forming a sort of 'leadership council' or quasi-Gathering within the Clan. CLAN CHARACTERISTICSPhoenixClan, though relatively new, is already starting to develop a unified identity out of the five clans that it was once made of.
The fire three moons before convinced many of the Clan cats to put aside their differences, and so PhoenixClan has become one of the most peaceful Clans in known memory, with its different members working to cover their counterparts' weaknesses and augment their strengths. While some divisions remain within the Clan, most notably over the position of Clan leader, a PhoenixClan cat is far more loyal to the unified Clan than perhaps any Clan cat to their individual clan in history.
PhoenixClan cats are also fiercely loyal to StarClan, which it believes delivered the survivors of the fire safely to the island, and mark this closeness to their ancestors by burying their dead around the outside of their camp, in the belief that StarClan's continued presence around them will keep Ninetrees and the island safe.
Physically, PhoenixClan cats are a hodgepodge - being constituted of cats from all five Clans, there is no one defining characteristic of PhoenixClan cats, though all of them are committed to defending the home they have created together. ALLEGIANCESLEADERSILVERSTAR | SHE-CAT | 35 MOONS | Silvershine
APPEARANCE: Silverstar from the right. On her other side, she has a large, patchy scar along her left flank and down her hind leg, and walks with a slight limp. Despite that disability, she still fights with all the ferocity of an uninjured warrior, nor does she seem to complain of any pain.
BIOGRAPHY: Silverstar is perhaps the most unintended consequence of the disastrous fire which swept the territories. Having only been named ThunderClan deputy at the age of 29 moons, she suddenly found herself thrust into the leadership only 3 moons later when the lake territories burned, and she was left significantly scarred on her left rear flank and leg. Nevertheless, she decided, in concert with the medicine cats and surviving elders, to take the Clans in search of new territories. During the journey, her mate, Eagleheart, succumbed to his own wounds, leaving the sole Clan leader devastated by grief. Throwing herself in keeping the Clan cats alive and together, Silverstar led them to the island territory, whereupon she traded her title as leader of ThunderClan for that of PhoenixClan, there not being enough cats to divide into five clans once again.
PERSONALITY: Silverstar is a quiet intellect, but is easily passionate when provoked. She is wholly devoted to keeping the peace within the unified PhoenixClan, and would gladly give her life in service of keeping them safe. Her stoicism borders on the extreme, however, for she's known to keep her own demons bottled up, barely even reacting when challenged. Those who are able to get close to her would find a cat tormented by pain, loss, and a fear that the Clan she's holding together will simply tear itself apart, throwing away all they sacrificed to come together.
RELATIONSHIPS: Silverstar is extremely relationship-averse after losing her mate to the strain of the Second Great Journey. Nevertheless, those who are willing to tolerate her cold exterior may eventually be able to get through to her.
OTHER: Silverstar is bisexual, with a slight preference for toms. SILVERSTAR'S LIVES: 9
DEPUTIES RIPPLETIDE | TOM | 32 MOONS | Rainmoon
APPEARANCE: Rippletide is a light gray-blue tom with milky blue eyes and white paws. He has a white tip on his tail and a gray nose.
BIOGRAPHY: Rippletide was there for the fire, just a young warrior. He knew that something was coming. He had felt something. He didn’t know it was a fire. He thought his body was being weird. He would’ve told everybody when he started noticing if he had known it was a fire. He didn’t. He still felt as if it was all his fault for the Clans getting destroyed by the fire. He thought he was the one to blame. Was he? He would always have a good day, but then settle down to think, and he would remember. He would remember the torture. He hated it. He couldn’t stop thinking about it though. He is still haunted by that rough part of his life, and would never fully let go of it.
PERSONALITY: Rippletide is sweet, and calm, and outgoing, but definitely has many thing to hide. He does usually like to be alone, but never minds a friend or two there. He is a big flirt, but not with his real crush. He does have a bit of cockiness in his heart and when in bad moods, he is snappy.
RELATIONSHIPS: Has a love for Silverstar (too embarrassed to say it tho)
OTHER: Loves Silverstar💜
MEDICINE CATS MISTLEFROST | SHE-CAT | 15 MOONS | 𝘊𝘢𝘤𝘵𝘶𝘴𝘣𝘭𝘰𝘰𝘮 ꕤ
APPEARANCE: Mistlefrost is a beautiful, incredibly thick furred molly with Siamese points. Her coat is a soft beige, with a mix of darker browns and layered on top. She has a very bushy tail, and rounded features. Her extremely thick coat makes her look much bigger than she actually is. She has silvery blue eyes. (Image here.)
BIOGRAPHY: Mistlefrost was born as a ShadowClan cat, but actually lived most of her life in WindClan. Her parents were from a forbidden relationship, but her mother gave birth to her in ShadowClan, deciding that her children would have a better life in the safer territory of WindClan however, the mother took her to live with her father. She quickly found an affinity for medicine, showing a talent for memorization, and a devote faith in StarClan. Mistlefrost was still only a 12 moon old apprentice when the fire began. She risked her life to help evacuate everyone that she could, but when the flames were too much, she had no choice but to press on. When PheonixClan was founded, she was promoted to a full medicine cat at 15 moons old.
PERSONALITY: Mistlefrost isn't the kindest shecat, comfort isn't her strong suit. But what is, is intelligence. Mistlefrost may be cold, and standoffish, but there's no doubt that she is a highly capable and talented shecat. She has a very stony exterior, and to those who remembered her before the fire, she was always sort of like that. She doesn't show a lot of emotion, which can be a good thing and a bad thing. It helps her keep a level head during her work, but it also makes it hard for her to develop friendships, let alone relationships. She is incredibly proud of her WindClan heritage, so much so that she is quiet vocal about her dis-satisfaction with their clans uniting. She believes that no other clan has a strong connection to StarClan, than WindClan, because they were the closest to the heavens. She adamantly despises SkyClan cats, openly. This fierce pride also means she has a devote loyalty to other WindClan cats. Mistlefrost is fiercely independent, almost to the point where she doesn't like working with others. She is much more introverted than extroverted, but that doesn't mean she's shy, she just enjoys her own company more. All in all, she might seem like a very negative, pessimistic, and judgmental molly, but she's not all bad. She has a dark sense of humor, favoring jokes that end on a sour note, and also can't help but pull a prank every so often. She would die for her fellow WindClan cats, and she is so firm in her beliefs and her confidence that she can not be swayed. She is a prodigy when it comes to medicine, so even if that means the Clan has to deal with her back handed remarks about other Clans, and her cold exterior, well, she's one of the best you're gonna get.
RELATIONSHIPS: Mistlefrost's mother was a ShadowClan molly named Hemlockshade, and her father was a WindClan tom named Hareleap. She had two other siblings that both went back to ShadowClan after learning of their mothers heritage, so she was never close with them. Her blunt, negative personality makes it hard for her to develop relationships with others, and she is openly hostile to any tom who wishes to court her, as she is a strict follower of the medicine cat's code. But, that doesn't mean she couldn't eventually fall for someone persistent enough.
OTHER: Mistlefrost is very vocal about her hostility towards Silverstar. She believes that the clans should be divided again, and that Silverstar serves as a beacon of unity that is falsely placed. She believes that StarClan is furious that the clans are united, and that SkyClan has been welcomed back to the clans. None of this is a mystery, as she blatantly says it to Silverstar's face. She is heterosexual. ELDERS None yet - apply someone!
SENIOR WARRIORS None yet - apply someone!
WARRIORS FOGPOOL | SHE-CAT | 47 MOONS | 𝘊𝘢𝘤𝘵𝘶𝘴𝘣𝘭𝘰𝘰𝘮 ꕤ
APPEARANCE: Fogpool is an elegant, slate grey molly with a white mane, and a long, feathery tail. She has long, thick fur that helps keep her warm, and light green eyes. She has a lean, but muscular build, with the trademark glossy coat of a RiverClan cat. She has soft, rounded features, and a muted pink nose. (Image here.)
BIOGRAPHY: Fogpool was born and raised a pure RiverClan cat, she was daughter of the former deputy, and always sought to follow in her mothers footsteps. At a young age she took on a mate, whom she was madly in love with, and planned to carry his kits. She was a warrior when the fire came, and did her best to help evacuate the queens and kits, she was one of the last warriors capable of swimming back to try to help, but upon one return, she found her mate who had been trapped under a pile of bracken - as she went to help him she heard the cry of three young kits. Fogpool had to chose to either save the kits, or her mate, and in the end, chose the kits, believing that her mate would have been strong enough to go on for just a few more minutes. She returned the kits safely out of the fire, but when she returned, her mate had passed away from the smoke. She still ponders if she made the right choice... Safe three young lives, or the life of the man she loved most.
PERSONALITY: Fogpool is a calm, warm, and collected shecat. She has a soft demeanor, and gentle presence, she seems like she was made to be a mother. She is wise, and protective, always seemingly capable of keeping a level head in the most tense of situations. She is logical, before emotional, quick to weigh the pros and cons of every choice, even if they come back to haunt her. She keeps her emotions hidden under an exterior of calmness and tranquility, but like many others, on the inside she is hurting, Her history with her mate has left her stunted when it comes to developing romantic relationships, but she is quick to make friends. This molly is more extroverted than introverted, but that doesn't mean she's the life of the party; it simply means that if she talks to new people she shows little fear. Her experience as a warrior, wisdom, and way with kits makes her an excellent mentor, she has taken on many apprentices during her time as a warrior. But even though she cares deeply for her pupils, Fogpool restrains herself from developing too strong a connection with any cat, for she fears not being able to protect them. At her core, Fogpool is a very protective shecat, she see's it as her duty to protect those she cares about, and carries guilt if any harm falls upon her clan mates. Although she is soft with others, she is strict on herself, and has a tendency to work herself to the point of utter exhaustion, just as long as it benefits others.
RELATIONSHIPS: Fogpool was born to mother, Lilydrop, and father, Blacksnow. She was the only kitten who survived the litter. Her mate, Ottersplash, died during the fire. Fogpool walls herself off from developing any deep relationships with others, out of fear of losing them.
OTHER: Fogpool is indifferent towards Silverstar, she believes that she is rather young, but she has proven herself capable, and if it came down to it, she would side with her in a fight. She feels a bit strange about the clans uniting, as cats who once used to be her enemy, she now shares a den with. She is open to the idea, but is still apprehensive, and defensive more towards RiverClan cats than any other. She doesn't seem to like ShadowClan cats that much. She is bi-sexual. SHREWSHADOW | TOM | 40 MOONS | 🅗🅐🅦🅚🅢🅦🅞🅞🅟
APPEARANCE: Shrewshadow is a large, silver bengal tom. His spots and stripe-like patterns are darker in color. He has white fur that starts from his lower jaw and moves down to form a white chest and the insides of his front legs. His belly is white as well as the insides of his back legs, though the white forms a line on the outside of his back legs. Shrewshadow's eyes are sea-green in color. (Image here.)
BIOGRAPHY: Shrewshadow was born in raised in the Twoleg place that borders ThunderClan's territory. At a young age, Shewshadow had been obsessed with the wild cats and promised himself that he would join their ranks one day. He took the time to learn how to hunt and practiced fighting with another kittypet, all in the hopes of joining. But when the fire raked across the clans, Shrewshadow knew it was his time to join as his logic told him that the clans needed help.
PERSONALITY: Shrewshadow is confident and bold in his natural territory (the Twoleg place), however, he is a nervous wreak when it comes to his clan mates. Since joining, Shrewshadow is desperate to show his worth and tries to make friends. He slips up more times than he can count, but his loyalties to the clans hasn't wavered since day one in the clan. He strives to do all he can to make up for the time he'll slip up and the times he could've done better.
RELATIONSHIPS: Open for anything!
OTHER: Shrewshadow sees Silverstar as someone who believed in him enough to let him join. His opinion on her may change, though as of right now, he is on Silverstar's side. Shrewshadow is pansexual!
APPLESHINE | SHE-CAT | 34 MOONS | 🅗🅐🅦🅚🅢🅦🅞🅞🅟
APPEARANCE: Appleshine is a fluffy, long-furred reddish-brown she-cat with orange splotches within her brown sections of fur. Appleshine has a white muzzle, chest and white front legs. Her belly's white fur stops soon after her front legs. Appleshine's eyes are golden. (Image here.)
BIOGRAPHY: Appleshine was a ShadowClan warrior before the fire. She lived a normal life. doing what she must in order to please her clanmates. She did have a love interest that she was pinning after for the longest time, but she never had the chance to make her Appleshine's mate. Appleshine's heart was broken when the fire came and she never saw her love interest return.
PERSONALITY: Appleshine is a laid back she-cat. She doesn't start fights for the sake of fighting, rather she would rather be rational and listen to all sides before making a decision. She is rarely angered and she does not have a sharp tongue. Appleshine prefers to keep to herself. She is quiet and only speaks when it’s her time. She loves to be with her clanmates and when she's up to socialize, she is easily the most friendliest cat anyone could meet. Appleshine, does however, has flaws. She lacks confidence and is pushover, despite being the one to be rational. She lets emotions make her decisions and it can lead to her judgement being wrong. She will eventually fall in the crowd that she deems to have the right choice when she can't come to one herself.
RELATIONSHIPS: Open for anything! {siblings, love interest all that}
OTHER: Appleshine's opinion on Silverstar has already been made. She respect the leader, but feels that any other cat would be a better leader. Though, that opinion may change. Appleshine is lesbian!
ROOSTERFUR | SHE-CAT | 24 MOONS | 𝔯𝔢𝔡
APPEARANCE: On the smaller side of average, Roosterfur's fluffy coat makes up for some of her lack of size, appearing larger and more roundly built than she actually is. Her facial features are smaller as well, giving her a more kit-like appearance even though she's an adult warrior. Roosterfur's coat is a pale orange, patterned by darker red tabby stripes, and she has a patch of white underneath her muzzle and chin. Her eyes are a very light green in color surrounded by a ring of amber, and her nose and mouth are outlined in pink. While caught in the fire, she sustained a minor burn that left her right ear partially missing.
BIOGRAPHY: Roosterfur was originally a Windclan cat and has the fleetness to prove it. When the fire broke out, her fear got the best of her and she ran to save her own skin instead of staying to help evacuate the rest of her clan. She blames herself for not doing more and feels like she failed herself and her clan by letting her fear get the best of her. Now, she's left second guessing her abilities as a warrior and has been avoiding her old clanmates from Windclan out of guilt, hoping that no one remembers or witnessed her act of cowardice.
PERSONALITY: Still a young warrior, Roosterfur's maturity or confidence has not yet caught up to her. She's not quite as shy as she was in her apprentice years, but still has trouble speaking her mind or standing up for herself. The she-cat harbors a lot of self-doubt in her warrior abilities and even considered leaving Windclan to join her father in his life as a barncat before the fire. She only stayed with the clans after the disaster out of guilt, feeling the need to makeup for her cowardice. She has a hard time forming meaningful relationships but that doesn't mean she isn't apt to have a friendly conversation with her clanmates--it just rarely extends further than that. Roosterfur has just always felt like an outsider in her clanlife and has a deep rooted envy of those with tight-knit families, mates, and kits. She is a skilled hunter and a swift cat, so she often finds her value in those talents, often taking to the island to hunt on her own.
RELATIONSHIPS: Roosterfur had relatively few relationships, even when the clans were whole. Her father had been a barncat back in Windclan, and she was never exceptionally close to her mother or her littermates.
OTHER: Roosterfur is on the fence about Silverstar. She agrees with the complaints that the leader is too young to be in her position, however doesn't trust her own opinion enough to take a stance. She is heterosexual. QUEENS None yet - apply someone!
MEDICINE CAT APPRENTICES None yet - apply someone!
APPRENTICES SHELLPAW | TOM | 9 MOONS | 𝔯𝔢𝔡
APPEARANCE: Shellpaw is svelte and athletic cat, a handsome young tom originally of Riverclan heritage. He has vaguely Siamese features with an angular face, long neck and legs, and a set of little, oval-shaped paws. He has a silky fawn coat, oily, insulated, and adjusted to swimming, with dark seal point markings on his face, legs, tail, and back. He has a set of clear blue eyes, a black nose, and long, white whiskers. (Image here.)
BIOGRAPHY: Shellpaw was a young cat when the fire came, a newly appointed Riverclan apprentice of merely 6 moons. He lost almost his entire family in the blaze or on the journey afterward. He was separated from his parents who were trying to help evacuate the rest of Riverclan during the fire and were subsequently killed. He had two sisters, one of which drowned alongside him trying to swim across the lake to the island to escape the fire, the other dying along the journey to the new territory. He mourns the loss of his family deeply and wishes he could have done more to help but is desperately trying to move on and make the best of the situation. Shellpaw is a strong beleiver in Starclan and that everything happens for a reason.
PERSONALITY: Shellpaw is a cat with a genuine heart of gold. He clings to his optimism and positivity in these trying times and it's wholly what keeps him going despite his loss. The tom is generous and giving, always the first to lend a helping paw. He tries his best to always be there for his clanmates and help in any small way that he can. This is how he tries to keep himself busy and moving instead of stopping to dwell on the past. His favorite thing is to see others happy, especially now that is a more rare occurrence. He's typically animated and lively in hopes that his actions will make somebody smile. He's selfless and cares deeply for each of his clanmates, even more so now that he has lost his family. However, because Shellpaw always puts others before himself, it can cost him at times, never putting himself first and having an impossible time saying "no". All in all, Shellpaw is dedicated to, and essentially lives for, others.
RELATIONSHIPS: Considering Shellpaw lost his entire family in the fire or on the journey, he is desperate for connections with others and tries to form deep relationships with anyone he can. He can come off too strong sometimes because of this desperation, sometimes appearing too needy, clingy, or simply just annoying to those he tries to befriend or form more romantic relationships with.
OTHER: Shellpaw is a supporter of Silverstar, wanting nothing more than peace or harmony in the clan after so much has already happened. He sympathizes with her loss and admires her strength in her position despite the expectations. He is also homosexual. SPIDERPAW | TOM | 8 MOONS | 𝔯𝔢𝔡
APPEARANCE: For being named after something with long legs, Spiderpaw is actually incredibly short. He is a pure black, scottish fold tom, so his ears are very small and bent. He has medium length fur, but it is very thick and fluffy, and his tail is bushy. Spiderpaw was actually named for his very large, dark yellow eyes which reminded his mother of the foreboding eyes of a spider. (Image here.)
BIOGRAPHY: Spiderpaw was born and raised in ShadowClan, but he only got to live there for 5 moons before the fire swept through the forest. Although he was young, he still has a vivid memory of the event. Both of his parents were of the unfortunate souls who did not make it out of that fire with their lives. Orphaned while he was still a kit, and going on the journey to their new home was really hard on him. Spiderpaw began his training while the clan was still traveling.
PERSONALITY: Spiderpaw is an unbelievably skittish young cat, ridden with crippling anxiety, and with an encyclopedia of fears under his belt. Losing his parents that young left him emotionally stunted, the trauma manifested as paranoia, and fear is a slippery slope to lose yourself on. What was once just a fear of fire quickly developed into a fear of just about everything. Although it may sound funny, and although it might be cute how Spiderpaw protests to go outside, it's no laughing matter. He struggles with real feelings of anxiety that make it hard for him to gather the willpower to do pretty much anything. Speaking of willpower, Spiderpaw had very little. He is quick to give up, and doesn't like to push himself too hard for fear of hurting himself. He is extremely shy, finding it hard to talk to anyone who he doesn't know, and latching desperately onto his friends for emotional support. His paranoia leads him down a deep path of pessimism and cynicism, he is quick to lose all hope and begin to panic if even the slightest situation goes wrong. However, if push comes to shove, and Spiderpaw see's someone he cares about in danger, his fight or flight reflexes push him to do everything in his power to protect the one he cares for. Deep down, Spiderpaw has a heart of gold, but it is buried under several layers of emotional instability, and anxiety.
RELATIONSHIPS: Spiderpaw lost his mother, Shadepetal, and his father, Raventuft, during the fire. It is hard for him to develop new relationships because of his fear of meeting new people, but those who are close to him he clings to. He is fast to lose himself into romantic relationships, and also quick to lose them as his paranoia leads him to never go out of his comfort zone.
OTHER: Spiderpaw was too young to develop a strong sense of pride in what ShadowClan used to be, so he feels very unified with PheonixClan. He does however fear that Silverstar is not a worthy leader, and that someone push older, wiser, and with much more expertise should lead them. He is homosexual. KITS None yet - apply someone!
STARCLAN None yet! RELATIONSHIPSThere aren't currently any relationships - form some!

FRESH-KILL PILE | The fresh-kill pile is extremely small. More prey is needed as soon as possible. CURRENT MAJOR EVENTSNEW HOME, NEW HUNT Since the cats have been on the move for three moons, there has been very little if any in the way of saved fresh-kill. Hunting patrols need to be run aggressively, and even the apprentices may be pitching in more than usual. The island seems to be abundant in assorted prey, but that doesn't help if it isn't caught.
Not only are the cats on the hunt for prey, but also for the medicine cats' herbs, as well as extra branches and bedding they can use to make their new camp more well-protected and comfortable. All in all, there's a lot that needs to be found in the coming sunrises.
SILVERSTAR OR BUST? From the beginning of the journey to the arrival at the new camp, Silverstar has acted in much the same way as a Clan leader would, managing the cats to the best of her abilities - but at only 35 moons, and having only been a deputy for 3 moons before the fire, some cats think she might be too young or too inexperienced to continue as leader, and seek to replace her. The time may soon come for all PhoenixClan cats to decide where they stand - though Silverstar hopes that the Clan will not cleave itself apart, the pressure may be unavoidable.

[ hi! ^^ this is beautifully coded and i love the plot/history! let me know if you'd like me to change anything in these forms! i'm also probably going to make a few more characters soon, but will start with these. ]
SHELLPAW | TOM | APPRENTICE | 9 MOONS | 𝔯𝔢𝔡 APPEARANCE: Shellpaw is svelte and athletic cat, a handsome young tom originally of Riverclan heritage. He has vaguely Siamese features with an angular face, long neck and legs, and a set of little, oval-shaped paws. He has a silky fawn coat, oily, insulated, and adjusted to swimming, with dark seal point markings on his face, legs, tail, and back. He has a set of clear blue eyes, a black nose, and long, white whiskers. BIOGRAPHY: Shellpaw was a young cat when the fire came, a newly appointed Riverclan apprentice of merely 6 moons. He lost almost his entire family in the blaze or on the journey afterward. He was separated from his parents who were trying to help evacuate the rest of Riverclan during the fire and were subsequently killed. He had two sisters, one of which drowned alongside him trying to swim across the lake to the island to escape the fire, the other dying along the journey to the new territory. He mourns the loss of his family deeply and wishes he could have done more to help but is desperately trying to move on and make the best of the situation. Shellpaw is a strong beleiver in Starclan and that everything happens for a reason. PERSONALITY: Shellpaw is a cat with a genuine heart of gold. He clings to his optimism and positivity in these trying times and it's wholly what keeps him going despite his loss. The tom is generous and giving, always the first to lend a helping paw. He tries his best to always be there for his clanmates and help in any small way that he can. This is how he tries to keep himself busy and moving instead of stopping to dwell on the past. His favorite thing is to see others happy, especially now that is a more rare occurrence. He's typically animated and lively in hopes that his actions will make somebody smile. He's selfless and cares deeply for each of his clanmates, even more so now that he has lost his family. However, because Shellpaw always puts others before himself, it can cost him at times, never putting himself first and having an impossible time saying "no". All in all, Shellpaw is dedicated to, and essentially lives for, others. RELATIONSHIPS: Considering Shellpaw lost his entire family in the fire or on the journey, he is desperate for connections with others and tries to form deep relationships with anyone he can. He can come off too strong sometimes because of this desperation, sometimes appearing too needy, clingy, or simply just annoying to those he tries to befriend or form more romantic relationships with. OTHER: Shellpaw is a supporter of Silverstar, wanting nothing more than peace or harmony in the clan after so much has already happened. He sympathizes with her loss and admires her strength in her position despite the expectations. He is also homosexual. WHAT IS RULE (XIII/2)?: Is Burma Shave what you mean? It's VIII, not XIII so just checking!
ROOSTERFUR | SHE-CAT | WARRIOR | 24 MOONS | 𝔯𝔢𝔡 APPEARANCE: On the smaller side of average, Roosterfur's fluffy coat makes up for some of her lack of size, appearing larger and more roundly built than she actually is. Her facial features are smaller as well, giving her a more kit-like appearance even though she's an adult warrior. Roosterfur's coat is a pale orange, patterned by darker red tabby stripes, and she has a patch of white underneath her muzzle and chin. Her eyes are a very light green in color surrounded by a ring of amber, and her nose and mouth are outlined in pink. While caught in the fire, she sustained a minor burn that left her right ear partially missing. BIOGRAPHY: Roosterfur was originally a Windclan cat and has the fleetness to prove it. When the fire broke out, her fear got the best of her and she ran to save her own skin instead of staying to help evacuate the rest of her clan. She blames herself for not doing more and feels like she failed herself and her clan by letting her fear get the best of her. Now, she's left second guessing her abilities as a warrior and has been avoiding her old clanmates from Windclan out of guilt, hoping that no one remembers or witnessed her act of cowardice. PERSONALITY: Still a young warrior, Roosterfur's maturity or confidence has not yet caught up to her. She's not quite as shy as she was in her apprentice years, but still has trouble speaking her mind or standing up for herself. The she-cat harbors a lot of self-doubt in her warrior abilities and even considered leaving Windclan to join her father in his life as a barncat before the fire. She only stayed with the clans after the disaster out of guilt, feeling the need to makeup for her cowardice. She has a hard time forming meaningful relationships but that doesn't mean she isn't apt to have a friendly conversation with her clanmates--it just rarely extends further than that. Roosterfur has just always felt like an outsider in her clanlife and has a deep rooted envy of those with tight-knit families, mates, and kits. She is a skilled hunter and a swift cat, so she often finds her value in those talents, often taking to the island to hunt on her own. RELATIONSHIPS: Roosterfur had relatively few relationships, even when the clans were whole. Her father had been a barncat back in Windclan, and she was never exceptionally close to her mother or her littermates. OTHER: Roosterfur is on the fence about Silverstar. She agrees with the complaints that the leader is too young to be in her position, however doesn't trust her own opinion enough to take a stance. She is heterosexual.

(Heya! This looks really cool, I really like the idea of OG clans coming together c: Please lemme know if there's anything wrong with my forms, and I'd love for some of my characters to have ties with others so I thought I'd list which ones are open for what!
Mistlefrost is totes open to having a sibling or two, but she wouldn't have spent a long time with them since she was the only one that stayed in WindClan, and she is open for having a forbidden romance because come on, who doesn't want to court that grumpy fluff ball? Fogpool is open to be a mentor, and adoptive mother, and also have a developing relationship. Spiderpaw is open to having any siblings, as well as having an adoptive mother/father! We can also play around with him developing a relationship, even though it will be tough for him.
I'm down to come up with any kind of relationships, romantic, friendship, or family, so just lemme know. ^w^)
MISTLEFROST | SHE-CAT | MEDICINE CAT | 15 MOONS | 𝘊𝘢𝘤𝘵𝘶𝘴𝘣𝘭𝘰𝘰𝘮 ꕤ APPEARANCE: Mistlefrost is a beautiful, incredibly thick furred molly with Siamese points. Her coat is a soft beige, with a mix of darker browns and layered on top. She has a very bushy tail, and rounded features. Her extremely thick coat makes her look much bigger than she actually is. She has silvery blue eyes. BIOGRAPHY: Mistlefrost was born as a ShadowClan cat, but actually lived most of her life in WindClan. Her parents were from a forbidden relationship, but her mother gave birth to her in ShadowClan, deciding that her children would have a better life in the safer territory of WindClan however, the mother took her to live with her father. She quickly found an affinity for medicine, showing a talent for memorization, and a devote faith in StarClan. Mistlefrost was still only a 12 moon old apprentice when the fire began. She risked her life to help evacuate everyone that she could, but when the flames were too much, she had no choice but to press on. When PheonixClan was founded, she was promoted to a full medicine cat at 15 moons old. PERSONALITY: Mistlefrost isn't the kindest shecat, comfort isn't her strong suit. But what is, is intelligence. Mistlefrost may be cold, and standoffish, but there's no doubt that she is a highly capable and talented shecat. She has a very stony exterior, and to those who remembered her before the fire, she was always sort of like that. She doesn't show a lot of emotion, which can be a good thing and a bad thing. It helps her keep a level head during her work, but it also makes it hard for her to develop friendships, let alone relationships. She is incredibly proud of her WindClan heritage, so much so that she is quiet vocal about her dis-satisfaction with their clans uniting. She believes that no other clan has a strong connection to StarClan, than WindClan, because they were the closest to the heavens. She adamantly despises SkyClan cats, openly. This fierce pride also means she has a devote loyalty to other WindClan cats. Mistlefrost is fiercely independent, almost to the point where she doesn't like working with others. She is much more introverted than extroverted, but that doesn't mean she's shy, she just enjoys her own company more. All in all, she might seem like a very negative, pessimistic, and judgmental molly, but she's not all bad. She has a dark sense of humor, favoring jokes that end on a sour note, and also can't help but pull a prank every so often. She would die for her fellow WindClan cats, and she is so firm in her beliefs and her confidence that she can not be swayed. She is a prodigy when it comes to medicine, so even if that means the Clan has to deal with her back handed remarks about other Clans, and her cold exterior, well, she's one of the best you're gonna get. RELATIONSHIPS: Mistlefrost's mother was a ShadowClan molly named Hemlockshade, and her father was a WindClan tom named Hareleap. She had two other siblings that both went back to ShadowClan after learning of their mothers heritage, so she was never close with them. Her blunt, negative personality makes it hard for her to develop relationships with others, and she is openly hostile to any tom who wishes to court her, as she is a strict follower of the medicine cat's code. But, that doesn't mean she couldn't eventually fall for someone persistent enough. OTHER: Mistlefrost is very vocal about her hostility towards Silverstar. She believes that the clans should be divided again, and that Silverstar serves as a beacon of unity that is falsely placed. She believes that StarClan is furious that the clans are united, and that SkyClan has been welcomed back to the clans. None of this is a mystery, as she blatantly says it to Silverstar's face. She is heterosexual.
WHAT IS RULE (XIII/2)?: Burma Shave? I think?

FOGPOOL | SHE-CAT | WARRIOR | 47 MOONS | 𝘊𝘢𝘤𝘵𝘶𝘴𝘣𝘭𝘰𝘰𝘮 ꕤ APPEARANCE: Fogpool is an elegant, slate grey molly with a white mane, and a long, feathery tail. She has long, thick fur that helps keep her warm, and light green eyes. She has a lean, but muscular build, with the trademark glossy coat of a RiverClan cat. She has soft, rounded features, and a muted pink nose. BIOGRAPHY: Fogpool was born and raised a pure RiverClan cat, she was daughter of the former deputy, and always sought to follow in her mothers footsteps. At a young age she took on a mate, whom she was madly in love with, and planned to carry his kits. She was a warrior when the fire came, and did her best to help evacuate the queens and kits, she was one of the last warriors capable of swimming back to try to help, but upon one return, she found her mate who had been trapped under a pile of bracken - as she went to help him she heard the cry of three young kits. Fogpool had to chose to either save the kits, or her mate, and in the end, chose the kits, believing that her mate would have been strong enough to go on for just a few more minutes. She returned the kits safely out of the fire, but when she returned, her mate had passed away from the smoke. She still ponders if she made the right choice... Safe three young lives, or the life of the man she loved most. PERSONALITY: Fogpool is a calm, warm, and collected shecat. She has a soft demeanor, and gentle presence, she seems like she was made to be a mother. She is wise, and protective, always seemingly capable of keeping a level head in the most tense of situations. She is logical, before emotional, quick to weigh the pros and cons of every choice, even if they come back to haunt her. She keeps her emotions hidden under an exterior of calmness and tranquility, but like many others, on the inside she is hurting, Her history with her mate has left her stunted when it comes to developing romantic relationships, but she is quick to make friends. This molly is more extroverted than introverted, but that doesn't mean she's the life of the party; it simply means that if she talks to new people she shows little fear. Her experience as a warrior, wisdom, and way with kits makes her an excellent mentor, she has taken on many apprentices during her time as a warrior. But even though she cares deeply for her pupils, Fogpool restrains herself from developing too strong a connection with any cat, for she fears not being able to protect them. At her core, Fogpool is a very protective shecat, she see's it as her duty to protect those she cares about, and carries guilt if any harm falls upon her clan mates. Although she is soft with others, she is strict on herself, and has a tendency to work herself to the point of utter exhaustion, just as long as it benefits others. RELATIONSHIPS: Fogpool was born to mother, Lilydrop, and father, Blacksnow. She was the only kitten who survived the litter. Her mate, Ottersplash, died during the fire. Fogpool walls herself off from developing any deep relationships with others, out of fear of losing them. OTHER: Fogpool is indifferent towards Silverstar, she believes that she is rather young, but she has proven herself capable, and if it came down to it, she would side with her in a fight. She feels a bit strange about the clans uniting, as cats who once used to be her enemy, she now shares a den with. She is open to the idea, but is still apprehensive, and defensive more towards RiverClan cats than any other. She doesn't seem to like ShadowClan cats that much. She is bi-sexual.

SPIDERPAW | TOM | APPRENTICE | 8 MOONS | 𝘊𝘢𝘤𝘵𝘶𝘴𝘣𝘭𝘰𝘰𝘮 ꕤ APPEARANCE: For being named after something with long legs, Spiderpaw is actually incredibly short. He is a pure black, scottish fold tom, so his ears are very small and bent. He has medium length fur, but it is very thick and fluffy, and his tail is bushy. Spiderpaw was actually named for his very large, dark yellow eyes which reminded his mother of the foreboding eyes of a spider. BIOGRAPHY: Spiderpaw was born and raised in ShadowClan, but he only got to live there for 5 moons before the fire swept through the forest.

DONE
Briarsoar | Tom | Medicine Cat | 37 moons | JekyllFekyll APPEARANCE: Briarsoar is a large-bodied tom with even larger paws. With long, thick fur, he looks like a giant to the smaller cats of the clan and in the dark he's nearly invisible. His deep black fur blends in perfectly into the shadows and his tabby striping is a deep brown hue that blends well too. He has long, black whiskers and tufted ears, along with with long, sharp black claws, black paw pads, and a black nose. The only bright coloration seen on the tom cat is his eyes, which shine a very light, frosty blue hue. BIOGRAPHY: Briarsoar was the medicine cat of Shadowclan at the time of the fire. He had been new to his position, his mentor having died only four moons before, but not only that but the tom had a new apprentice. Sadly, in the fire his apprentice was lost and the tom blamed himself for their death. Now, the medicine cat has sworn off getting close to others and forming bonds so that he won't feel that guilt ever again. Before the fire, the tom had been a very open and cheerful cat, always ready to share stories or play with the younger cats of the clan. PERSONALITY: Briarsoar is thought to be very closed off and rude to many cats. Not being one who talks much, the tom is a mystery to many and doesn't converse with the clan often. Instead, he stays within the confines of his den unless he's needed in the camp or has to collect herbs for his stores. Not only is this tom quiet, but despite his large size he is a pacifist and has entirely sworn off any form of fighting. RELATIONSHIPS: None, lost his parents and apprentice in the fire. OTHER: Briarsoar wholeheartedly supports Silverstar and will stand by her side always. WHAT IS RULE (XIII/2)?: There is no rule XIII/2 because that would be 13/2, placing it between 6 and 7. 6 is no godmodding or rping other peoples characters and 7 is to always include others in your rps though.
Scorchpaw | She-cat | Apprentice | 8 moons | JekyllFekyll APPEARANCE: Scorchpaw has a sad appearance to most, showing scars from the fire but not ones as bad as her grandfather's. Having once been a beautiful, long-haired, chocolate brown cat, she is now only a mere shadow of her former look. Burn scars cover the right half of her face, trailing down her neck and along her sides in slashes. Not only this, but more scarring trails up her legs and her back left paw is almost completely gone. What's left of her fur is still a chocolate brown hue, but is now sparse and rough. The one eye she still has is deep green and has a single white stripe underneath it. Her paw pads and nose are pink, her whiskers are white, and she has a slight snaggletooth on the left side of her jaw. BIOGRAPHY: A former Thunderclan apprentice, Scorchpaw had always been a slow learner in her clan but her determination and courage made her a valuable member of the clan. PERSONALITY: be detailed, and include flaws! RELATIONSHIPS: Grandfather is Novoice OTHER: Perhaps include your cat's stance on Silverstar too... WHAT IS RULE (XIII/2)?: There is no rule XIII/2 because that would be 13/2, placing it between 6 and 7. 6 is no godmodding or rping other peoples characters and 7 is to always include others in your rps though.
Silverflurry | She-cat | Warrior | 23 moons | JekyllFekyll APPEARANCE: BIOGRAPHY: Silverflurry is a former Riverclan she-cat who managed to get lucky during the fire. Having been out fishing when the flames reached her territory, she was able to jump into the water and get away with no wounds, immediately heading to the island at the lake's center as fast as she could. Once there, the she-cat tried to figure out what was going on and began to help others onto the island, taking kits across the bridge and helping those who were injured and weak from the fire. Now, the she-cat still helps others and is often found doing anything except resting. PERSONALITY: A positive and vibrant she-cat, Silverflurry isn't only beautiful but she's also kind, caring, motherly, and determined. Absolutely terrified of fire and storms, she isn't a stone wall with no fears but a cat just like any other. RELATIONSHIPS: OTHER: Perhaps include your cat's stance on Silverstar too... WHAT IS RULE (XIII/2)?: There is no rule XIII/2 because that would be 13/2, placing it between 6 and 7. 6 is no godmodding or rping other peoples characters and 7 is to always include others in your rps though.
Novoice | Tom | Elder | 120 moons | JekyllFekyll APPEARANCE: It's a wonder how this tom even survived but somehow he did, though maybe his mind didn't. This tom was caught the worst of the fire, having run back into the flames to try and save his daughter Leapwish, the mother of Scorchpaw. By doing this though, his fur caught fire and now the tom is nothing but burns and scars, his skin bubbly and horrid and a sight for nightmares. His claws are singed, his whiskers are gone, his ears are torn, and he seems to be a walking bag of skin and scars. Still, he stays strong and does what he can to help out even with his old age. His eyes survived the fire, though his vision is a little blurry because of the prolonged exposure to the smoke; his eyes are brown. BIOGRAPHY: Novoice gained his name from the lack of a voice, having been born with the inability to speak. Instead, he draws in images on the ground to communicate with others. During the fire, he raised back into the raging fire after being sure Silverstar, his clan-mate, was safe with the others. He went back in to find his daughter Leapwish and her only kit, Scorchkit. When he found them, Leapwish was already dead, having used her own body to shield Scorchpaw from the flames and protect her life. Grabbing the kit, Novoice did as his daughter had and used his body to shield the kit while he made his way out of the forest of flames and to the group. Scorchkit was injured, but Novoice took the extent of the damage for the kit. PERSONALITY: A brave and courageous soul, Novoice is caring and kind and will do anything for his clan and his family. A protective grandfather, he keeps a close watch on Scorchpaw and makes sure she is always well cared for. Still, the tom is also a depressed soul, often found having nightmares of when he found his daughter burned and dead, with Scorchkit sheltered beneath her. RELATIONSHIPS: Scorchpaw is his grandkit. Leapwish was his daughter. OTHER: Perhaps include your cat's stance on Silverstar too... WHAT IS RULE (XIII/2)?: There is no rule XIII/2 because that would be 13/2, placing it between 6 and 7. 6 is no godmodding or rping other peoples characters and 7 is to always include others in your rps though.
Toadwhisker | Tom | Warrior | 21 moons | JekyllFekyll APPEARANCE: BIOGRAPHY: Toadwhisker was a Thunderclan tom who had a large, extended family within the clan whom he loved very much. At the time of the fire, he tried his hardest to get his family to safety but his father knocked him out to keep him on the island where he was safe before heading out to try and save others of their family, sadly he never came back. PERSONALITY: A sad soul, Toadwhisker gravely misses his father, who had been his idol and closest family member. Not wanting to get close to others just to loose them, the tom spends his time hunting, training, watching over the camp, and doing everything to keep himself busy and away from most of the clan so he won't make new relationships. RELATIONSHIPS: OTHER: Perhaps include your cat's stance on Silverstar too... WHAT IS RULE (XIII/2)?: There is no rule XIII/2 because that would be 13/2, placing it between 6 and 7. 6 is no godmodding or rping other peoples characters and 7 is to always include others in your rps though.
Beesplash | She-cat | Warrior | 41 moons | JekyllFekyll APPEARANCE: BIOGRAPHY: No one knows which clan Beesplash is originally from and the she-cat has never said anything about it either, plus no one can remember ever seeing her before. She showed up with the rescues on the island during the fire and helped care for the kits that were saved from the carnage. She hunts well and tries her best for the clan, as long as no one pries into her business. PERSONALITY: A kind and courageous she-cat, Beesplash is known for being a great hunter and always seeming to show up out of nowhere. Deathly quiet and a light walker, she makes no noise save for talking. RELATIONSHIPS: OTHER: Perhaps include your cat's stance on Silverstar too... WHAT IS RULE (XIII/2)?: There is no rule XIII/2 because that would be 13/2, placing it between 6 and 7. 6 is no godmodding or rping other peoples characters and 7 is to always include others in your rps though.
Inkpaw | Tom | Apprentice | 6 moons | JekyllFekyll APPEARANCE: Inkpaw has strong hind legs and a thin, lithe form with short hair like most Skyclan cats. His fur is sleek and mainly a snowy white, save for a splash of black along his back that makes it look as though ink was spilled onto his fur. He has a black nose and paw pads, short white whiskers, a bobbed tail, and tall, pointed ears. Inkpaw is definitely a disproportionate cat and even his eyes don't match, with the left being a deep blue and the the right a rosy pink hue. BIOGRAPHY: Inkpaw was only three moons old when the fire ravaged his home in Skyclan and killed his family. A meek, small tom who had no one at the start of the journey, he was adopted by Fogpool, a Riverclan she-cat. Prone to sickness, the tom was sick most of the journey and is still very small and weak. PERSONALITY: Inkpaw is very sickly and weak but he doesn't let this stop him at all. A bundle of joy and energy, this tom looks for the silver lining to everything and never backs down from a challenge, always ready to push himself to the edge and do whatever is needed for the clan. A kind and loving soul, he is fiercely protective of his adoptive mother and loves her dearly. He has no memories of his old life so she's the only mother he actually remembers having. RELATIONSHIPS: Adopted mother is Fogpool OTHER: Accepts Silverstar. Perhaps he's still a kit at the start and his rp can begin with him becoming an apprentice? WHAT IS RULE (XIII/2)?: There is no rule XIII/2 because that would be 13/2, placing it between 6 and 7. 6 is no godmodding or rping other peoples characters and 7 is to always include others in your rps though.

M I S T L E F R O S T | | In camp. With no one yet. | | @ tags.
The biting wind cut through the swirling branches of the ninetrees, creating an eerie whistle that hummed throughout the camp. The ghost hands of the breeze slid their fingers through Mistlefrost's long beige fur, she shut her eyes and took in a breath. The feeling of the cold wind brushing up against her pelt, the whistling of the trees, it was unmistakable, StarClan was here with them. The bodies buried upon the outside of the grove, it made them all feel closer. Mistlefrost opened her eyes again, the creamy pink light of late dawn spilling like an oil painting over the dreary camp. Her chest heaved with a sigh, it was such a peaceful morning, but... It was a shame that things weren't better. Although the clans were united under a banner of peace, there were no supplies, there was no food, no medicine. She thought back to the rolling fields that used to be WindClan, and shuddered at the memory that it was all far behind her now. But the time for lamenting was over. They had 3 long, arduous moons to be upset about it. Now they were here, and it was time to get down to business. All she could do was hope that young ThunderClan supporter, Silverstar, knew what to do.
The medicine cat sent a cross look over to the leaders den, as if at any moment the silver molly would emerge, and be greeted by the most annoyed face ever. It wasn't a secret that Mistlefrost didn't like her. Mistlefrost didn't like any cat that wasn't from WindClan. She just... Found it so strange that StarClan would bless her with nine lives, they had to have some sort of plan, right? She couldn't be lead to believe that the strong, faithful WindClan cats could possibly ever unite peacefully with the untrustworthy ShadowClan cats, or the lazy RiverClan cats... Or the complete spit in the face of their ancestors that is SkyClan. It was preposterous. Everything had gone topsy-turvey in those three moons that the clans had journeyed, it didn't make sense that so many of her clan mates accepted the idea of unification, or even seemed pleased about it. Bottom line, she hated it. But, this was where her people were, so this is where she would stay.

Fogpool had been having trouble sleeping ever since the newly made PheonixClan settled down on their little island territory, partially from generalized anxiety, partially because of the empty stomach, but mostly because of the warriors den. How did they expect a RiverClan cat to sleep in a tree? The slated silver molly groggily walked out of the warriors den on shivering paws, making sure that every paw step was well grounded, and wouldn't shake any branches that made up the floor below. She really wasn't gun-ho about the whole sleeping in the trees thing, not only did it feel uncomfortable, but Fogpool missed the quiet babbling of the brook beside the old RiverClan camp. She never realized how hard it was to fall asleep to the sound of silence. Suddenly the snoring of her clan mates was a lot more... noticeable. With one deft leap the warrior jumped down from the branches and landed on the earth below, letting out a little exhale through her nose as she found comfort in solid ground being beneath her paw pads once more.

Rippletide | Tom | Deputy | 32 Moons | jayfeather Rippletide is a light gray-blue tom with milky blue eyes and white paws. He has a white tip on his tail and a gray nose. Rippletide was there for the fire, just a young warrior. He knew that something was coming. He had felt something. He didn’t know it was a fire. He thought his body was being weird. He would’ve told everybody when he started noticing if he had known it was a fire. He didn’t. He still felt as if it was all his fault for the Clans getting destroyed by the fire. He thought he was the one to blame. Was he? He would always have a good day, but then settle down to think, and he would remember. He would remember the torture. He hated it. He couldn’t stop thinking about it though. He is still haunted by that rough part of his life, and would never fully let go of it. Rippletide is sweet, and calm, and outgoing, but definitely has many thing to hide. He does usually like to be alone, but never minds a friend or two there. He is a big flirt, but not with his real crush. He does have a bit of cockiness in his heart and when in bad moods, he is snappy. Has a love for Silverstar (too embarrassed to say it tho) Loves Silverstar💜

( I'll add your cats to the list tomorrow - in the meantime, you are free to RP! )
S I L V E R S T A R | In camp, currently with nobody. | 𝘊𝘢𝘤𝘵𝘶𝘴𝘣𝘭𝘰𝘰𝘮 ꕤ & jayfeather It's always lonely at the top, but it gets especially so when your mate is gone, and when you're dealing with your own Dark Forest of grief.
Silverstar finally pulled herself to standing after spending a moment in contemplation of everything that had transpired. The fire, the journey... how badly she missed Eagleheart. There was no time for that, though... they were already in the second moon of leaf-fall and still barely had any fresh-kill. She had to sit with Rippletide to get patrols out, and lots of them. Every warrior and even most apprentices would likely have to take double patrols, both for herbs and for fresh-kill, if they were to survive to the next full moon. Nevertheless, she had little doubt in her mind that the cats could pull it off.
The leader finally dragged herself from her den, perching above the entrance to the elders' den and nursery as she often did to observe the camp... it had only been four days since their arrival at Ninetrees, and while they were settling in, it was difficult for some to adapt. RiverClan cats had their brook to sleep near, WindClan slept in the open, and now they were all sleeping within the protection of Ninetrees.
Speaking of WindClan, there was Mistlefrost, as unimpressed as usual. Silverstar paid her absolutely no mind. StarClan guided her path to this point, through the fire, through the journey, through reaching Ninetrees and the island.
So why did it all feel so empty?

Rippletide/ Patrol
Rippletide led his patrol down the ash path where no prey roamed. Nor did it in the rest of the forest. Pain swelled everywhere in Rippletide, but mostly in his heart. He hated to see his love in such pain over losing her mate, being so hungry, and her Clan being so hungry. Rippletide was very hungry, for he had not eaten in weeks. He was one who much with little luck would die in the next moon. He was mostly surprised he had made it this far. He thought it was for his love for Silverstar. He felt as if she might have some sort of thing for him, and he knew he couldn’t leave her like Eagleheart. He knew she would not care much if he died, but he had hope she felt something for him unlike the other cats. He hoped, not knew. Rippletide is also mourning over Eagleheart as much as Silverstar, for he had been a best friend of his. Rippletide sighed as hunger growled in his stomach. He remembered when he was in RiverClan. When things had been perfect. When he had been a young a warrior and a big flirt. He hadn’t felt what it was like to have a real love, so he flirted with all cats. Now, he felt like he wasn’t himself. He has lost his best friend, had a real love, watch his Clan get destroyed, and so many other things. He couldn’t handle it anymore.

Shellpawpaw ⇻ mentions; Fogpool, Silverstar
On this morning, Shellpaw had been up and about early, even before most of the warriors. After everything that had happened, they finally had a home! Despite all of the work that needed to be done, and the unstable feeling of it all, the little apprentice was ecstatic at the idea and closer to happiness than he had been since the fire. The Siamese was ground level within the Ninetrees, still preferring to keep his paws on solid ground, and has spent much of his morning pacing. He wanted to help, and was bustling with energy, but... he wasn't quite sure what he could do. Still relatively young, and with hardly any real training to go off from his short time as a formal apprentice, the tom was, well, lost.
Shellpaw had noticed Silverstar exit her den for the morning and watched her for a moment as she observed the goings-on of the new camp. He flashed her a bright smile, beaming from where he sat near the camp's entrance, not really knowing or caring is she noticed him--Shellpaw looked up to the she-cat. When Fogpool leapt down from the warrior's den, it had captured the tom's attention. His blue gaze shifted towards the she-cat and the immediately fell more relaxed at the sight of an exceptionally familiar face--someone from Riverclan. "Goodmorning Fogpool!" The little tom called, getting to his paws and waving his tail high behind him in greeting.

( Oh, Jekyll I'd just noticed that you hadn't added the Other section to any of your cats except Briarsoar. If you could do that? ^___^ )
S I L V E R S T A R | In camp, currently with nobody. | 𝑓𝑜𝑥 and jayfeather
The she-cat became acutely aware of Rippletide's absence. Knowing him, he'd gone out with an early sunrise patrol... she had to hope he came back with something large. While there was enough food for the kits, the elders, the queens, and most of the warriors, some of the strongest might have to go without for yet another day... and surely those who thought like Mistlefrost would give her all manner of trouble for the Clan's poor state, even though she was doing everything in her capability to bring back more food for the clan - she'd gone out on four different patrols the previous sunrise, and had only eaten enough to keep up her strength for doing that.
Silverstar was shaken out of her thoughts by the appearance of one of the Clan's apprentices. Shellpaw had gone beyond all expectations over the journey. RiverClan had been fortunate to have such a strong (and strong-willed) kit, and PhoenixClan was even more fortunate that the newly-minted apprentice had survived that tragic fire, when so many cats had not. She was sure he'd make a good warrior, even if it took him more time than most because of the three moons they had to waste traveling. She offered him a wave of her tail in greeting
She had to believe StarClan still watched over them, and would deliver PhoenixClan from its trials. Interestingly, when she thought of StarClan, it wasn't any cat she would know that called out to her, not even Eagleheart - but two leaders of her old clan from more than 600 moons ago. She felt... a remarkable affinity for Sunstar and Bluestar, having heard the stories of their leadership passed down through elder after elder, and how each of those leaders faced the challenges before their clan with an intense, unyielding devotion.
Silverstar would do the same, even if it took all nine of her lives. PhoenixClan would survive. She would make sure of it.
