I'll definitely need help with names! XD, I really only know the name Sora because that's my rabbit's name (It means Sky, right?), and apart from that... Like... typical western kid, but I really only know a few animes. So if nothing else, I would definitely need help with that.
Design wise, do you want them to have specific breeds that they're based on? And what is the most commonplace appearance in the clan/what is the least common so that I can avoid it. ie. Are they more often long or short furred, dark eyed or light eyed, etc.
And also, what positions would you like filled? I'm totally willing to take any of them, tbh, I'm cool with any of it. It's a really cool concept, and I'm not sure what positions I want, cause they're all new.
ALSO: I'll make more males to help even out the numbers a bit, XD, you're like 3 toms down. I RP toms better anyway, so...
I was thinking like 3-4 characters. That's my normal amount.

I can definitely help you out with the names. <3 You can have Sora as a name.
Well, yes and no. The rules for breeds are simple, so don't worry. They don't have to strictly be a purebred Siamese or a pureblood Dragon Li. They can be a mix of the Asian breeds; you can even toss other breeds like the Munchkin, calico, or shorthair tabby in there. As long as it's not too far-out, like a pure Russian Blue, for example.
Most are short/medium furred, but there are some longhaired kitties in there. Bright eyes are fairly common, but there's no common type of eyes. Most have almond-shaped/tapered eyes.
Please take that tactician spot. Just take it. And that'd be great; we could use some more dudes. X'D
The amount is fine; you can make as many cats as you want!

❀ - Sumie 2.5 Years | female
- Tactician
- Sumie is a beautiful black smoke Turkish Angora she-cat. Her body is long, with slim, delicate looking legs and a striking plume of a tail. Her legs have fluff that come off of them beautifully, adding just a bit of size to each of the willowy extremities. Her form, when she stands, is exactly what a Turkish Angora is meant to look like. She has broad, tall ears and wide eyes as well, both of which are characteristic of her breed, but not her clan. She has very dainty paws. She comes off as a very fragile cat, and she definitely isn't cut out for normal Samurai life. Now... the position of Tactician, this is where she excels. She is too small and not particularly strong enough to do any real damage in a fight. Rather, if she ever is forced to battle, she uses her mind to get what she wants and needs out of it. She has the very typical Turkish Angora eyes, a pale, but rich golden amber hue, with a few darker flecks of amber throughout them. It is this that most directly links her to her brother, ..., who looks much different. Her smaller, weaker frame does not mean that she isn't able to fight, however. The difference is that when you're fighting her, you're trying to fight a cat that seems to never be there. She is very fleet of foot, and cannot battle without that used to her advantage. Where she can be easily pinned or outweighed, she is hard to catch, and uses strategy to her advantage as well.
- Sumie is a very aloof cat. She knows she is smarter than most, she holds the position of Tactician to prove it. She is rather uptight, and is considered to have no sense of humor. She is rather cold and logical over anything else, refusing to let her emotions cloud her judgement. Especially in heated moments, be it battle or an argument, she is deadly calm and has a rather robotic quality to her voice. She's rather obvious about her opinions of things as well. If she's bored, you'll know it. If she doesn't like you, well... that's hard to tell, as she seems to hate everyone. It's obvious that she has a sort of grudging respect for certain cats, but only a few hold her true respect that she thinks deserves it. She doesn't mean to be so hard and cold, but a lot of it was trained into her when she was very young, and she doesn't even think about it as an adult, she just becomes harsh and cool towards others. When you get under her hard veneer, she's very vulnerable, and she hates letting others in because she worries that they can be used against her. Very few see her tender side, she's even harsh towards her brother, Akihiro, sometimes. She has good intentions, and is always thinking of the clan first.
- Family: Brother is Akihiro
- Other facts: Sumie has an affiliation towards strategies that have to do with stealth, surprise, and speed. She uses them herself when she's fighting, though she prefers to hunt.
❀ - Akihiro 2.5 Years | male
- Samurai
- Akihiro is a shaded silver Turkish Angora. His build is slightly less like a perfect Turkish Angora's would be, with slightly bulkier shoulders and more muscle overall. It makes him appear less smooth, and a bit more blocky. Despite this, he has the same long, thin legs, though they're considerably more muscular than his sister's, and a lean, long body. His tail, especially, is the perfect example of a Turkish Angora, long and with the perfect plume of thick, but elegant fur. He is taller, as well, and a bit heavier than most Turkish Angoras, around 13 pounds. His fur is shaded silver, which means that it's mostly pure white with grey tips that make it look silver even though it really isn't. His sister is about at his shoulder in height, and he is much more tall and stocky compared to her short leanness. He is a good fighter, mostly because of his ability to mix speed and agility with strength and offense. He has strangely long claws, as well, which he uses to his advantage. However, he has an unfortunate tendency to rip them out when he is hunting or running, as they get stuck in things easily. His eyes are a very typical color for Turkish Angoras; a light honey amber with darker flecks. They are very similar to his sister's.
- Akihiro is a rather quiet tom. He has low self esteem, and seeks reassurance regularly to make sure that he isn't making things worse in the situation. His insecurities display differently than his sister's, as he is much more emotional and sensitive to the imagination. He has a habit of kneading the ground when he's having a hard time processing something, or of fidgeting to try to ease his emotions. He is relatively shy, unlike his sister, and won't talk much unless he's prompted. He really likes being social and with others, but he's afraid that they won't like him, so it's rare that he initiates the conversation. When he gets attached to someone he gets very attached, and has a tendency to have a hard time letting go of things. He doesn't like to hold grudges, but he can until the end of his days. He's very forgiving, and sort of willing to let others ridicule him because he thinks he deserves it. Because of that, he will often forgive cats for insulting him when he should really be standing up for himself. He's spent most of his life not standing up for himself, or letting his sister do it. She's very harsh towards him at times, but he loves her all the same.
- Family: Sister is Sumie
- Other facts: Akihiro is actually rather slow mentally, and takes a bit to process some things. Despite this, there are other things that he's really sharp in, such as predicting where things are when the wind is moving lots, or being able to tell how long has passed since something happened via scents.
❀ - Sora 8 Moons | female
- Minarai
- Sora is a very small, rather rabbit like Japanese Bobtail. She has slightly longer fur for the breed, so her little stub of a tail fans out rather like a bird's tail, and has a little curl on it that makes it look like a duck's tail. It is roughly a half an inch long. Sora's pelt is called Mi-ke, a term for her breed that means Calico. She has a van pattern in white that overlays it, however, so only hear ears, tail, a few patches on her hips, and a few small marks on her face and the backs of her legs carry the calico coloration. Her ears, especially, are the most mottled, with slashes of orange intermingling with the black and brown. The other patches on her body are generally just one of those colors, though the largest patch on her hips is all three, just not nearly as blended. Her tailfur is mostly orange, with a small bit of black nearest the base of the tail, even if that's not that much room. Her paw pads and nose are a delicate pink color, and her eyes are a light, clear blue color that stand out brilliantly against her white fur and the small patches of color around her eyes. Her hind legs, especially, are very strong, and she can jump exceptionally high and is built for running and jumping. She is very agile. Her tail, however, means that she doesn't have the greatest balance.
- Sora is exceptionally friendly and outgoing. She's playful and energetic, and has a tendency to talk. A lot. She often seems overbearing, like she could care less what everyone else is saying. Really, if you can get her to shut her jaws for a few moments, she's a very empathetic, caring cat, and would love to hear what others have to say. The problem is that she can't stay still long enough to listen. Her energy makes her a good worker, but also exceptionally fidgety and hard to teach. She is very passionate about her learning, and she tries her best to pay attention, but if her mentor drones on for too long, she gets bored and antsy, which leads to trouble. She means well, however, and tries her best in every situation. She's kinesthetically gifted, and understands how the body works and why it moves the way it does. This allows her to learn the positions and movements that she is supposed to take rather quickly, her problem is the execution of the movements. She knows what she's supposed to do, just not how.
- Family: N/A
- Other facts: Sora has a sort of ADHD or similar disorder that makes her have a really hard time staying still. She can't focus well because of that.
❀ - Haraku 1.5 years | male
- Samurai
- Haraku is a Kurilian Bobtail crossed with an Oriental. His fur is slightly longer, much like the Kurilian Bobtail, and like them, his tail is a stub. Like most Kurilian Bobtails, his tail is like a pom pom, but because of his half oriental side, it's about a half sized, massive poof rather than a small stubby puff. His fur is a chocolate color, with a classical tabby pattern. This means that his fur is a medium brown with a slightly lighter undercoat, with dark chocolate swirls of tabby patterns. He has darker fur around his spine as well, and most of the swirling stripes stem from there. Like Kurilian Bobtails, his shoulders are broad, but rather like his Oriental heritage, his body is longer and much leaner, steamlined and slim. Even his broad shoulders don't offset the slim look that he carries. His fur is smooth and longer, curled to his body so that it doesn't move around much, just hangs down like curtains. His face is also like that of an Oriental's, longer and angular like a Siamese cat's face would be. Like a 'V' shape, almost. His eyes are almond shaped and a deep greenish gold, blending and mingling with itself to make it appear one color, though they have depth. He has longer claws, and despite his severe anxiety, he is very good at hunting big prey such as Taimen. He is also a good fighter, though it takes him awhile to get into the groove. He doesn't do well under pressure, either, and seems to cave in on himself when that happens. His paws are large and fluffy, and don't seem like they could cause much damage, though he packs a real punch when he hits with them.
- Haraku is the most nervous creature you're going to meet. He's anxious and always jumping about one thing or another, and is scared very easily. It's never hard to tell where he is, as there's generally a rather quick breathing and nervous scratching in the ground. He seems the least likely tom to be a Samurai, and yet here he is. His anxiety and nervousness is not something that he can stop, and though it hampers his abilities a bit, he is actually quite brave, and can push through his fears usually with a bit of encouragement. If there is someone he looks up to that he's working with, he is generally more confident as well. His biggest confidence and small joy is his ability to hunt. He is very good at hunting the harder to pinpoint prey, and is one of the better cats for catching Taimen. He prefers to take orders, and is very skittish around those of higher rank, because he believes that he will just disappoint them. Love and kindness towards himself are foreign concepts, and as such, he is rather lonely. Any friend he makes has his undying loyalty, and he would do anything for them, no matter how brash or foolish he looks doing it. He trusts his friends, and that allows them to take advantage of him.
- Family: N/A
- Other facts: His nervousness was rather taught to him, because his family was very judging of his movements and abilities, and so he had to try extra hard to make them proud, which left him judging his every move. That eventually led to his anxiety that he was failing them, and then his inability to do much without encouragement or another cat to support him.
❀ - Osamu 9 years old | male
- Wise One
- Osamu is a Siamese crossed with a Korat. Because of this, he has a blue point pelt. His basic pelt is a rich cream color, with a dark blue grey point applied to it. This means that his face, ears, legs and paws, and tail are the dark blue grey color, fading into the cream that his basic pelt is. He is built like a Korat, however, with a single layer of fur, and a round, apple shaped face. His body is shorter and a bit more compact than the Siamese, which is rather characteristic of a Korat. His eyes, however, are similar to the Siamese, angular and narrowed, much more streamlined. His paws are pretty average to his body, and his paw pads and nose leather are both a dark blueish grey color. His eyes are also a rich golden color, just like the Korat in his blood. His tail is long, like a Siamese's as well, which gives him good balance. At nine years old, Osamu's joints and muscles are starting to fail him. His hips, especially provide problems, as do his back and paws, which are all arthritic. This makes him move slowly and rather creakily. Despite how he seems now, he was a brilliant Samurai in his time, and was an exceptional fighter. He was especially good at fighting over hunting, and used brute strength, from his Korat shoulders and build, to take down opponents over other things usually.
- Osamu is a grumpy old thing. Nine years old, and his hips and joints are starting to fail him, which makes him much more likely to grumble about things. He is known for being that old elder to seems to hate everyone, his grumbling heard throughout the clan. Despite this, Osamu is really just in pain and lonely. The loss of his mate, Mei, and his only kit, Yui, left him lonely and despairing in his old age. He gave up hope the year before, when his mate died, and since then grew to be able to tolerate living, but he has a hard time enjoying it. Something that has a tendency to bring him joy, however, is the youth. His daughter who died had been killed by a Kitsune when she didn't run fast enough. She had been eight moons old, and because of that, younger cats both pain him and bring him indescribable joy. Kittens, especially, he loves to tell stories to. He is very good at weaving the tales of the ancients, and enjoys telling them to the young ones who haven't heard them. It reminds him of talking to his own kit. He can seem a bit harsh at first, especially to the youngest, but if they can brave his complaining long enough, he seems to get used to them and becomes much more welcoming. He's rather jaded, as well, and likes to just lay out and look at the stars.
- Family: His mate was Mei, and his only kit was Yui.
- Other facts: Osamu blames himself for the death of his kitten, as he had berated her for her inability to fight at quite the level she should have progressed to in her training at eight moons just a day or two before she was killed trying to fight a Kitsune that she didn't run from as her Sensei told her to. His mate died when he was Eight years old, her seven and a half years, of old age and a form of cancer that set in around her seventh year. He has been in dark times since then, but fights through it to the best of his ability.

Well, the breeds I'd suggest are a Siamese Cat, Kurlian Bobtail, Japanese Bobtail, Dragon Li, Khao Manee, Oriental, or a Korat.
Also, if you're still stumped for a cat, what I usually do it take an already made character of mine and simply change their information to fit the nature of the RP. c:

Razz ;; They look great; good work. Now, for me to add them in, all we need are names! You're free to choose the ones you want, just remember to edit them into your form. You can leave out the pronunciations.
Smoky Black Angora: Tomoko, Akemi, Sumie, Mei, Chie
Silver Angora: Gin, Ryuu, Katsuro, Sakuya, Akihiro
Kurilian Bobtail/Oriental Mix: Keiji, Haruka, Rei, Kiyoshi, Nagisa
Siamese/Korat Mix: Hisao, Osamu, Hotaru, Nobuo
Wise One's Deceased Kitten: Haru, Yui, Umi, Mui
When you're done, just jump on into the main page. Here's a little summary of what just happened: Lady Akiko that one of their samurai had been brutally murdered by an unknown Oda cat. They don't know why or who would do this, but they are still speculating. The cats are still preparing for the festival, but they are extremely cautious now.

Hi, pollan! Before I can approve you, I have a couple comments about your applications.
You have to change Andrea's name. This roleplay is set in ancient Japan, and English names will not work here.
Unfortunately, the second tactician position has already been claimed by Razz, so Aito will have to be a samurai, if that's okay? If you have questions, look over the main page or simply ask me.

❀ - Daitan 5 1/2 Years | Male
- Chief Samurai
- Daitan is an unusually coloured black siamese tom with dark green eyes, who stands tall on his paws. He is short haired but in the winter months his pelt seems to thicken up a bit and has a fluffy look to it - which he hates. Long legs hold his large body upright and his large paws conceal his sharp white claws. He has a long snout with a shiny black nose and dark whiskers that are slightly longer than they need to be. His point long tail has a few nips missing out of the fur here and there, due to old battles and misunderstandings, but he doesn't let this bother him. Along with a scar that runs across the right hand side of his face, starting from the bottom of his eye and travelling diagonally across his nose, just stopping as it reaches the other side of his face. Any higher and he would have been blind in his right eye.
- Daitan means fearless and that's what he is. Fearless. So much so that he often has ended up on the wrong side of someones claws, but he only even makes the decisions he makes through facts and pure dedication to his clan. He would never start a fight if it wasn't necessary. He is respected in his clan and is easy to get along with but many members, especially those who are young and inexperienced often fear him due to his scars, and even misunderstand him. Daitan is a loving cat who has a lot to offer and who would like nothing more that to have a family of his own and kits to worry after.
- Daitan has no living family.
- He was found as a small kit and brought into the clan, so though he wasn't clan born it is all he has ever known.
❀ - Senshi 3 Years | Female
- Samurai
- With a stone short grey pelt, Senshi is the colour of slate and has bright amber eyes that almost seem too large for her face. A bright pink nose sits at the end of her snout and tall pointy ears stand on the top of her head, with little tufts of grey fur on the ends. She is large for a female but not as large as some of the toms. Her tail is long and skinny and has small random white flecks which seem to disappear at the base of her tail. Her legs are long but she has small paws which her claws poke out off, even when sheathed.
- Senshi means warrior and her mother gave her the name knowing that is what she would become. Loving at heart but fierce in battle Senshi will do as she is commanded and will do it to her very best. She can often be quick to snap back and may even start a fight if she believes in something, but is quickly brought back to and never holds a grudge. She is cunning and has good battle tactics but would never consider herself to be good enough for the rank of a Tactician. Senshi is often found out hunting or playing with the kits or young Minarai, longing to be young again and not have to worry about the tales of clan life.
- Senshi has no living family.
(( Hope these are okay  ))
