Intro:
<><><><><><><><>
(Will be added shortly.)
Territory
<><><><><><><><>
BlossomClan exists on the border of an ancient oak forest. To the very East lies the remnants of their former home, the scorched remains of what was once much of the forest, having been burned down during a lightning storm. To the very West of the Clan is a large open field, filled will many different species of flowers and berries, although most of these are poisonous. To the North of their new territory is a small Twolegplace, consisting of three Twoleg nests huddled close together, as well as a farm with a barn nearby. And to the South lies the "High Lands", a seemingly endless line of snow-capped mountains. The environment is always slightly chilly, even during greenleaf, and storms are all too common.
Season
<><><><><><><><>
The RP currently takes place during the middle of leaf-bare, where prey and herbs are in short supply, and the threat of greencough or deadly blackcough is what the Clan fears most. (And the aftermath of the fire last leaf-fall left most of the area devoid of fresh-kill and healing remedies, making this leaf-bare especially challenging.) Will the Clan find a way to survive the trials that threaten their very existence, or will they perish?
Camp
<><><><><><><>
- The Leader's Den is a relatively small, hollowed out room located on the top of a massive boulder overlooking the camp below
- The Medicine Cat's Den is located at the base of the boulder, inside a second hollowed out "cave"
- The Apprentices' den is a large set of paw-made nests woven together with twigs and other materials, located in between three large trees to the left-paw side of the boulder
- The Warriors' Den is located at the very front of the camp, near the entrance. It also is made out various materials, and is located in between three smaller boulders
- The Medicine Cat's den is located to the right side of the Apprentice's den (with the Elder's Den nearby), and both are located in two abandoned, structurally stable rabbit burrows.
Rules
<><><><><><><>
- The Standard WCRP Rules
- Please no Godmodding, killing and/or controlling each other's characters (without their permission), and no kit stealing
- Please keep this RP pg-13. You can have romantic relationships between cats, and fight scenes are allowed, but nothing over pg-13 is allowed. (Note: Mentioning a she-cat nursing her kits is pg-13, as long as you don't go into too much detail about it.)
- Please no one-liners. This does not mean you have to write 10 paragraphs, but try to add some depth to your posts on this RP
Please use { }, [ ] , or ( ) when posting something that is not part of the RP itself
- Please try to make your characters realistic. Every cat has his/her flaws, even small ones
- You can have a maximum of 5 characters. If you wish to have more, they'll be minor characters
- You have to be at least fairly active. This does not mean you have to post something in the RP every time, but if you are going for over 2 weeks (without notice), your character will be "temporarily suspended". If you return, you can continue RPing as that character with no loss of rank and such. (Unless that cat has a very important position, such as the deputy, medicine cat, or medicine cat apprentice
- Please try to use proper grammar. I understand the occasional spelling mistake, but please try to make your comments look as "professional" as possible
- Have fun!
Characters
<><><><><><><><><>
Use the following template below to character your character(s):
Name:
Gender:
Age:
Appearance:
Mate/Crush/Kits:
Other Kin:
Rank:
History:
Additional Facts:
Screenname:
Notes: An apprentice cannot have a mate and/or kits, but they can have a crush. In addition, the History part is optional. The Additional Facts part is optional, but recommended. It should include things like if your cat is a good hunter but poor fighter, if they have a fear of something, if they have good eyesight, if they were once a rogue (or still is), etc. (Those were just some examples of what you can put there.) I won't be accepting personalities - they will "blossom" as the RP progresses. (Full credit goes to Thunderfire29 for this idea.)
Plot:
<><><><><><><>
Currently there is no set plot, other than the Clan is struggling to survive. However, I am certainly open to suggestions from the community. If you want an important event to happen, such as rogues attacking the BlossomClan or a series case of greencough hits the Clan, I will certainly take it into consideration. However, no more than 1 or 2 "trials" can occur at the same time, or it will be overkill... literally. In addition, the "event" cannot seriously alter the plot, such as the cats having to leave their territory to find a new home. (This doesn't mean stuff like that can't happen EVENTUALLY, however!) Consider the plot to be "open" for now.
However, due to the onset of leaf-bare (not to mention the devastating fire), much of the Clan has been killed. Only a handful of warriors, apprentices, the medicine cat, a couple of elders, a couple of kits, and the deputy remain. Due to this, Drizzlefur has decided that it may be wise to recruit rogues (who appear friendly), much to the disapproval of much of "his Clan". (This does not happen for a little while into the RP, however.)
