FireClan
You’re padding as quietly as you can through a pine forest, each ragged breath that leaves you sounding louder than the last. You’re not sure how your running got you here but you’re hopelessly lost and confused. And maybe a little hungry.
Before you can take another step, you raise your eyes to find that you’ve been completely surrounded by cats. Your fur stands on end, and you close your eyes as you wait to be ripped apart. But that never comes, as one cat steps forward to address you.
“You’re on our territory, stranger. Explain yourself.”
You stutter for a moment, spinning some tale of being lost and far from home. She stops you, shaking her head.
“Well, we can give you shelter for now. Come, follow us to our camp. And welcome to Fireclan.” Welcome to Fireclan! This clan acts as one amongst four total fan clans that myself and a friend created many years ago. We were once active on the old forums, but time and other things led to our decline. Now, I plan to start again and see these clans become active once more!
History
Long ago, long before any living cat within these territories was born, four great groups came together within the same land. Each group had never met each other, nor did they wish to mingle and become one. They were each their own separate entity and if they mixed, they would lose what made them who they were.
The cats that followed mighty Ice were made for the mountains. Their large bodies, thick pelts, and large paws were perfect for the cold and the brutal mountain ranges, though their home was made half in a valley that was protected on one side by mountains, and on the others by a pine forest, greyer field mix and a high plainsland. Still, his chosen territory was at the highest altitude and it was theirs.
Those who followed sly Fire were suited for the land beside Ice’s, for the pine forest and the geyser field. They were lean, but not small and lithe, made for climbing trees and darting through sparse undergrowth. They were a shadowed lot, in pelt color and in heart.
The cats who kept to the ever aloof Dusk favored the lowest of the territories, a marshy land where the trees blocked out almost all the sunlight. They grew to have webbed paws and larger eyes, perfect for seeing in low light. Their hearts were mysterious and guarded, as were their minds. They did not often welcome in outsiders.
Lastly, though who followed the proud Dawn took up residence in the plainsland. They were lithe and agile, darting through the tall grass and running down any prey they could. They stayed lean and wild looking because of this, though the were just a proud and honorable lot. Words were favored amongst them over claws and brute strength. It’s no wonder they were so respected.
And thus, each leader was visited by a starry cat, who guided them one by one to a polished crystal nestled within a glade, surrounded by water that caught the starlight. Each one was granted nine lives, -star added to their names, and instructions on how to organize their groups into what would be known as clans. They returned to their friends and loved ones as Icestar, Firestar, Duskstar, and Dawnstar, leaders of Iceclan, Fireclan, Duskclan, and Dawnclan, respectively.
Though time and trials have beaten against each clan, they have weathered each and every one, remaining strong and alive. They are here today, in this land created by Starclan for them, perfect for every group and yet just muddled at the borders to give rise to some problems...
Territory
Fireclan territory rests in a low pine forest that stretches from the foothills of Iceclan territory. It is sparsely wooded, dark, and seemingly barren. Rocky outcroppings dot the territory. The camp is nestled in a clearing created from a thicker area of tree growth and protected on one side by a jutting hill of rock. The leader’s den and medicine cat’s den are tucked up in two seperate caves that burrow into the stone. Under the roots of the largest tree that borders the camp is the nursery. Next to it under a pair of bushes are the warriors den and apprentices den. The elders make their den in a bush near the leader’s den. Apprentices are trained around the base of a lightning struck tree. The river that marks the border between Iceclan and Fireclan is often times frozen, but when it’s not, it is shallow enough to cross at one spot. Common prey includes mice, crows, sparrows, squirrels, and occasionally rabbits. Predators include wolves, hawks, owls, and the occasional lynx.

Allegiances
Leader
| Hazelstar | 51 Moons | Hazelstar has medium length, ginger fur with light tabby stripes and some white on her muzzle and chest She has pale green eyes and an athletic build. | Hazelstar is a loyal and fearless leader. She puts the clans needs before herself and does everything she can to help her clanmates. She will often try and do to many things at once, and has been known to overwork herself. She is a cautious cat and likes to take things slowly. She has a soft spot for young cats and likes to tell them stories. Hazelstar is a little sensitive, but does her best not to show if her feelings have been hurt. | Hawkeyes258 | Apprentice; Dewpaw
Deputy
TBD
Med. Cat
Open
Med. Cat Apprentice
Ashpaw | 13 moons | Ashpaw is an American long hair bobtail cat with a primarily charcoal gray coloring. His paws and face are black as well as his nose. He possesses a single white fleck of fur on the center of his chest and over his eyes almost as though he has the vague appearance of eyebrows. Ashpaw’s eyes are a dark navy blue and are rather round and large in comparison to his other facial features. Despite his long coat, he is rather thin and frail underneath and the top half of his left ear is missing, | Ashpaw is a rather reserved cat, but he grows more talkative around those he’s close to. He’s pessimistic and serious in nature but it’s hardly intentional if something rude were to be said on his part. While Ashpaw is well meaning, he’s clueless in social situations and tends to avoid them because of that. What he lacks in social skills he makes up for in his intelligence. Recalling remedies and illnesses is hardly a challenge and he occasionally becomes experimental in an attempt to create his own remedies - although the large majority of them have failed and some with less than pleasant results. | Ashpaw’s father had left Fireclan after finding more appeal in rogue life and his mother left shortly after to follow her mate. Ashpaw has no recollection of his parents other than what they may have looked like. | peachy keen
Senior Warriors
| Houndtooth | 102 Moons | A grizzled, battle scarred mottled brown, black, and white tom with one dark amber eye and one missing eye. The tip of his tail is also missing. | Very traditional and set in his ways, Houndtooth is a prickly older cat. While he is nearing retirement, there’s still plenty of fight left in him and he’s not afraid to show it. He tends to be strict with apprentices and hard on those who he doesn’t think are pulling their weight. | lupusalbum99 | Blizzardstripe | 66 Moons | Being rather broad shouldered but lean of body, Blizzardstripe definitely is stronger than some of her fellow warriors. Her head is wide, but she’s definitely not flat faced, and her eyes are a pale blue color. Her fur is soft, somewhere on the medium side of length, and silver in color, with pale tabby stripes. | Level headed and calm, Blizzardstripe is very cautious when it comes to most things. She’d rather think first about a problem than rush in and sometimes can come across as indecisive. She’s a little insecure about her halfclan status, but still strives to be the best warrior she can be. | Icestar (brother) | lupusalbum99 | Scorchfang | 72 Moons | Scorchfang is an unusually large Somali tom with a bright, rusty orange pelt that fades to more of a deep, burnt brown that almost looks black. This strip of brown goes from around his face and on his head all the way down his back and to his tail tip. His fur is very feathery and fluffy, and it’s his pride and joy. He can usually be caught grooming himself in what spare time he gets. Only a few scars maim his “perfect” complexion, which includes a set of four thin scratch marks across his right shoulder blade, and a tiny nick in his right ear. As for his eyes, they are a piercing amber that stands out greatly against the darkened fur of his face. As an already expressive cat, his eyes show his emotions most. | Scorchfang can most easily be described as narcissistic and vain. He seems to care most about how he looks and what he must do to be better than any other cat. His egotistical ways and constant self-care make him a very handsome cat, and certainly one that catches the eyes of many she-cats, and he hopes to one day become deputy if not leader. However, his ego alone is what prevents him most from reaching his goals. Although he does put his clan first when it comes to necessities, he definitely puts himself alone as a close second. Even so, he does have a soft spot for a certain she-cat, and would most likely even put her safety before his own in the face of danger. | Moonsong | Warriors | Vixenmask | 26 Moons | Sleek and pretty, Vixenmask is a lean and rather nimble ginger she-cat with black toes and a pale underbelly. Her eyes are a piercing dark amber color and she appears to have an Oriental cat’s build. | Cunning, intelligent, and manipulative, Vixenmask isn’t exactly the cat who’s bad side you want to get on. She has a bad habit of seeking revenge and doesn’t take wrong doings lightly. While she cares for her clan in a way, as it does benefit her to stay in it, she is very vocal about allowing other cats into the clan who were not born into it and is very mistrustful of the other three clans. | lupusalbum99 | Juniperswipe | 35 Moons | JuniperSwipe is a short haired tabby she-cat that has hazel colored eyes. She is small and lithe which makes her fast. | She loves to run and jump around acting like a kit, but she will fight tooth and nail for any and every cat in her clan. | Family She has a younger sister who had left her to go be a Rogue as she did not like clan life. | lemonpepper | | Grasswillow | 20 moons | Grasswillow is a petite dilute tortoiseshell with a pair of milky blue eyes and soft short length fur. She has small paws, and a long tail with a dark grey tail tip. A scar runs across her right shoulder to half-way down her leg from a skirmish with a dog a year earlier. She has a distinctive pink nose and unusual short claws. Grasswillow has also a dot of black on her chin like a beauty mark.| Grasswillow is a very stern and sure cat with a load of confidence packed in her loud mouth. She isn't afraid to talk back, and will. She is a very dedicated and efficient cat but can't help to procrastinate on most things. | UnsightlyHeretic831 | | Honeymask | 48 Moons | Honeymask is a beautiful flame-point ragdoll she-cat, although her point markings are more of a honey blonde rather than the pale orange most flame-points are. The length and fluffiness of her fur makes her look very round and large, yet she still has an overall very elegant appearance. Her eyes are a contrasting cornflower blue, and are very round and sparkly. Her smile could melt even the coldest hearts, and her expressive eyes add to her adorable charm. | Honeymask is just as sweet as honey itself. Her kind-heartedness alone makes her a very likeable cat within the clan, although her kindness is to such an extreme that it makes her fairly easy to manipulate. She just wants to make everyone happy and would do just about anything to see her friends smile. She truly has a gentle soul and would rather converse to sort things out rather than fight. However, this does not mean that she would not fight to her dying breath to protect her clan. | Houndtooth (Father), Cinderdust (Mother, deceased) | Moonsong | | Owlnose | 33 moons | Owlnose has solid black fur and bright yellow eyes. He is on the more slender side and has muscular limbs from climbing and running a lot. | Owlnose is a kind and reserved cat. He doesn't like to be in the center of attention and gets embarrassed easily. Owlnose is a little jumpy and does have some level of anxiety. Owlnose isn't the bravest, but he does try his best. He's quick on his feet and will listen to your problems. He is a lot more skilled as a hunter than he is at fighting. He likes to be up in the trees and to collect feathers. | As a kit, Owlnose was pretty sickly and everyone wondered if he would make it. He managed to pull through though his apprentice training did take a little longer than most. | Hawkeyes258 | | Addertooth | 50 moons | Addertooth has light brown fur with black tabby stripes. He has some white on his underbelly and light green eyes. He is a little on the muscular side and has a few scars on his back, and chest. | Addertooth is a strong and hardworking tom. He is a proud tom and likes to show off from time to time. Addertooth considers Fireclan to be the best and has a certain disdain for Iceclan cats. He has a temper, and has been known to be vicious in a fight. Addertooth is super sweet and loving but he doesn't show that side often. He wouldn't mate and kits but has a feeling that may never happen. | Hawkeyes258 | Rosestep | 35 moons | Rosestep is a Chantilly-Tiffany cat with a dark cream colored coat and reddish-gold colored paws and ears. Her eyes are slanted upward and are light green in color. Despite her luscious coat, her paws are rather small and give her a very dainty appearance. Her bright pink nose and small scar down the side of her muzzle stand out from the fairly muted colors of her pelt. Her eyes appear to be in a constant state of longing as though an old soul recalling mates from moons past. Rosestep is soft underneath her coat and not quite the muscular warrior she knows she ought to be. | Rosestep is soft spoken but very hospitable and courteous. Perhaps it’s the diction she speaks with but her tone could easily be mistaken for that of an ingenuine one. She’s rather the opposite of a warrior in every sense of the word and hopes to one day reside strictly in the nursery to assist new mothers and rear kits. In the meantime however, she often attempts to avoid patrol duties by finding a nice tree to nap in - usually to no avail as her bright coat gives her location away. The only true warrior skill she prides herself in is hunting, mainly because of her very padded and quiet pawsteps. | Rosestep was brought into Fireclan at 20 moons old where it was later discovered that she was carrying the kits of her former - also rogue - mate, but none of the two kits survived. | peachy keen Apprentice; Sleekpaw
Apprentices | Dewpaw | 9 Moons | A little on the skinny side with pale cream fur, Dewpaw seems to be a slightly undersized Fireclan cat. His fur is marked very lightly with pale grey points. | Nervous but intelligent and kind, Dewpaw really only wants to prove that he’s got what it takes to be a warrior of his clan. He finds it hard to connect with cats his age and seems pretty awkward around most. | lupusalbum99 | | Sleekpaw | 7 moons | Sleekpaw is a young lanky tom, he is a mostly grey tabby tom with the occasional spot speckled about his fur. The markings on his body are a deeper grey than his actual pelt color. Dull blue eyes and long whiskers adorn his face along with a tan/pink nose. | Sleekpaw is a very stubborn cat, with mostly only listening to others of a high standing he doesn't have many friends. Although he does enjoy helping others when needed. He's swift to snap and later regret his harsh words. | Mother: Iceheart (Deceased) Father: Sandslip (Deceased) | Sleekpaw's father, Sandslip, was killed by an infected wound before Sleekpaw was born. His mother, IceHeart, guarded him closely up until she passed as well from illness. He was left a new apprentice with no family and quickly turned sour to others. | 0asheon0 | Queens Kits Elders
Cats Outside the Clan
| Lilac | 34 moons | Lilac is almost exactly the same as her sister, She is a tabby as well but with greyish green eyes. She is as small as her sister is and is just as fast. But she has a scar on her left eye. | lilac is a very aggressive she-cat. She loves to fight. | Juniperswipe is her older sister who stayed with the clan. | lemonpepper |
Starclan Cats | Firestar | Unknown | A very fluffy, dark ginger she-cat with big blue eyes and folded ears. She died of old age. | lupusalbum99

Extra Information
The Warrior Code
-Defend your Clan, even with your life. You may have friendships with cats from other Clans, but your loyalty must remain to your Clan, as one day you may meet them in battle. -Do not hunt or trespass on another Clan's territory. -Elders, queens, and kits must be fed before apprentices and warriors. Unless they have permission, apprentices may not eat until they have hunted to feed the elders. If any warrior or apprentice is sick or injured, they may eat while the elders, queens, and kits are eating. -Prey is killed only to be eaten. Give thanks to StarClan for its life. -A kit must be at least six moons old to become an apprentice. -Newly appointed warriors will keep a silent vigil for one night after receiving their warrior name. -A cat cannot be made deputy without having mentored at least one apprentice. -The deputy will become Clan leader when the leader dies, retires, or is exiled. -After the death, retirement, promotion (to a leader status), or exile of the deputy, the new deputy must be chosen before moonhigh of the following day. -A Gathering of all four Clans is held at the full moon during a truce that lasts for the night. There shall be no fighting among Clans at this time. -Boundaries must be checked and marked daily. Challenge all trespassing cats. -No warrior can neglect a kit in pain or danger, even if the kit is from a different Clan. -The word of the Clan leader is the warrior code. -An honorable warrior does not need to kill other cats to win their battles, unless they are outside the warrior code or if it is necessary for self-defense. -A warrior rejects the soft life of a kittypet. -Medicine cats may take a mate only if they have an apprentice and their apprentice is fully trained. If the apprentice or the medicine cat has kits in the nursery, they are not allowed to have kits of their own until the kits are apprenticed.
Ancient Rites
Ancient Rites are ancestral rights that are gifted to each clan. Not many cats invoke them often but when they do, they cannot be contested. Apprentices are trained to understand these very early.
-Should a cat from another clan kill another cat without reason, the clan of the murdered cat may demand a cat of equal age and skill be handed over from the offending clan. -Should a clan steal prey from another clan, the victim shall be allowed to demand the food returned or they will be allowed to hunt that amount of clan from the offending clan.

(This clan is officially open for joining!)
Houndtooth lazed around in front of the warrior's den, drawing his tongue slowly over one large paw. His good eye was narrowed, glancing slowly around the camp as he groomed himself.
Blizzardstripe was just returning from a hunting patrol with Vixenmask. As soon as the two she-cats returned, they split from each other, Vixenmask disappearing into the warrior's den and Blizzardstripe settling herself down with a mouse.

(Yay! I plan on adding a few more characters!)
Hazelstar leaves her den and stretches her limbs. She had just waken up from a nap and was ready to get to work. Hazelstar looked around wondering what needed to be done.

(Yea, I think I've got a good amount of characters for right now. You're also welcome to put other characters in the other clans as well!)
Pricking his ears, Houndtooth watched as his leader emerged from her den. Slowly, the older cat rose up with a long stretch and padded over to her. "Hazelstar," he rasped, bowing his head slightly. "I don't mean to intrude or nothing but..." He glanced around the camp, letting out a thoughtful rumble. "The camp's been pretty quiet. We need someone to get things in order again, besides you, of course."

"Did you have someone in mind Houndtooth?" Hazelstar asked twitching her whiskers in amusement. She had a lot of respect for the older tom and liked to chat with him from time to time.

Slowly and with some disappointment, Houndtooth shook his head. "I'm far too old to take such a spot myself. Vixenmask is too much of a liability and Blizzardstripe hasn't had an apprentice." He tilted his head a bit before his shoulders lifted in a shrug. "But you bet your hide I'll keep an eye on these young cats for ya, Hazelstar. One might prove a good enough fit."

"I can always count on you Houndtooth." Hazelstar flicked her tail and lets out a small sigh. Picking a deputy was never easy. She needed someone who had some leadership skills and someone that the clan would approve of. "We will have a deputy soon enough."

Post by lupusalbum99 on Jan 8, 2020 20:57:06 GMT -5
Houndtooth nodded his head, his one-eyed gaze sweeping over the camp. "Starclan will guide your choice. They always do," he meowed, sounding as certain as he could. "Until then, I can help keep things sane around here. Can't have these young warriors causing trouble, eh?"
|

Post by Hawkeyes258 on Jan 9, 2020 23:05:32 GMT -5
"Thank you Hountooth." Hazelstar mewed grateful for his help and support. She lets out a small yawn and shakes her head. "Mmm I'm still a little sleepy." She remarked.

Juniperswipe was sitting in front of the warriors den eating a squirrel. She glanced around the camp and stood up stretching. She thought a bit wondering if she should go on a patrol by herself or if someone else would go with her.
