Heh, I totally should've saw Lynx becoming Storm's mentor. That actually surprised me, truth be told.

Probably not. I mean, i guess he's proud? But he's got pretty high expectations for himself as well as the others around him so he probably comes off like that. But it's not as bad as Owlshadow where he'll plot to kill lazy cats xD

Time to sliiiiide right in.
Novalight || Warrior || 19 moons || Tom
Novalight is a full black cat with a white muzzle and dark green eyes. He's fairly lean, with a low amout of muscle. His personality is rather laid-back and thought-out. He prefers a strategic approach to fights rather than going in head-first. Large groups of others, as well as being the center of attention for large groups, stress him out, so he prefers to sit in the back of groups.

My guess being patrols will be soon? Said Lynx would be on at least one of them--though before that, maybe that talk about his disappearance? Up to you, Cinnamon.

Lynx can meet up with Stonestar after morning patrols or before- but I want cats to have a chance to get out of camp and get some RPs in. Sticking Lynxsoul with Stonestar might mean he would get left behind when people group up for patrols, but it's your choice in the end.

I'm loving the dynamic between Stormberry and Lizardpaw, it's developing their characters really well. I can see them being two very interesting cats!

Been thinking about a few things. May I have your guy's opinion on Daylight Warriors? Been mulling over how to develop Lynx's own backstory, given a few factors.

What is Daylight Warriors?

Post by LynxSoul on Apr 18, 2017 16:30:20 GMT -5
Well, quoting Warriors Wiki for a moment.
The concept of "daylight-warriors" was introduced in SkyClan's Destiny. It denotes kittypets who sleep with their Twolegs in a Twoleg Nest at night, but participate in a Clan's activities by day, like hunting and patrolling. They can even train apprentices, or become a medicine cat apprentice. These warriors are generally scorned for being "half-kittypet" by their full-Clanmates.] ( Source: warriors.wikia.com/wiki/Warrior#Daylight_Warrior )
Wasn't entirely sure what angle to set Lynx's background as other maybe he's non-clan born as well. It would explain his devotion to try to be loyal, plus his socialization issues.

Ah, I see. I haven't read any of the Skyclan SEs because I don't really find them to be that interesting, so thanks for the clarification.
The stance that I have on this is essentially that cats are more than welcome to have non-clan backgrounds, but since the clan lives in the wilderness far removed from twolegs, with the closest place being a campground far to the northeast, a kittypet would have to have a pretty good reason to travel all the way to Cloudclan (a good days journey) to become a clan cat. It's rare, but not unheard of, for people to take their cats camping, so I'd expect you to be creative with a kittypet background. The nearest twolegplace is about a two days journey for a cat through the undergrowth, for reference.

The only feasible reason I can recall of a cat to travel all the way to Cloudclan's territory from the campground being they might've gotten lost on the way or got separated from somewhere as a loner. I'll give it some thought, but am open to ideas.
There was one thing I did think about...if Lynx was to side with Owlshadow(and I -think- that's basically the dark side if I remember.), it might be due to want to prove non-clan born cats can be just as loyal as clan born.

Getting lost is a pretty good reason, I did a roleplay with faundestwishes before where she had a cat who was a kittypet whose twolegs brought her out on a camping trip and she was separated from them in a storm and found by the clan. She was an interesting character. Yeah Owlshadow (and Blackbrook) is basically the dark side. Just keep in mind Owlshadow will likely never warm up to him- he is a cat stuck in his beliefs. But Lynxsoul will have the opportunity to help take him down if he wants to switch sides when the real climax of the story comes. That's up to you! |

Post by LynxSoul on Apr 18, 2017 18:46:44 GMT -5
All right, that works. Although to make it more interesting, why not have Lynx intentionally gotten lost from his old owners from the campgrounds. Maybe he might've gotten sick of being a kittypet from the bias other cats gave him.
Fair enough, but there's always a chance to convince Lynx. He's open to listening to different opinions, after all. Heck, might be a good reason to explore a bit of his background too.

That's fine by me. Just keep in mind that him being Kittypet born does open him up to discrimination from the cats who have those backwards ideals! Cats like Minnowheart will be fine with him but cats like Owlshadow (and it looks like Lizardpaw too) will judge him based on that. Of course, that just means he'll have to prove them wrong! Lol
I think Blackbrook would be the one to convince him. He's a smoothtalker.

Post by LynxSoul on Apr 18, 2017 18:57:10 GMT -5
Well, how about this: It's either he was a past kittypet or he was from a different clan entirely before Cloudclan. It would also kinda explain why he's supposedly got some hints of authority. how that's to make logical sense I'm still working on it. This is what happens from having to migrate someone from a canon from a few years ago to now. ^^:
Either Owlshadow or Blackbrook convincing him would be fine by me.

Well if he left another clan then you'd have to factor that into his age, since he's only 20 moons. Was he exiled for some reason? How did he get those hints of authority? I was just assuming he had some sort of power complex, lol.
My suggestion is to try to think of Lynsoul as a somewhat-new character. You won't logically be able to keep some previous parts of his personality that don't fit into the canon/setting of Cloudclan, so if you try to make those things work it might end up creating an overly-complex character. I've certainly done that before!

Post by LynxSoul on Apr 18, 2017 19:16:40 GMT -5
Hmm, you raise a good point. Somewhat new would be correct--it's best to think that he had no connection to previous clans and stick to the kittypet idea, that would make his age work. A power complex, huh? That actually might seem possible. I do agree, Cinnamon, it's impossible to carry over everything that he used to be over to this new setting, given the contrast. So this so far is a good start. I'll do my best to make this work out.

The prophecy says "dawn" will save the clan, so right now they think Dawnripple is the prophecy cat, but the truth is that the cats who will save Cloudclan from the darkness are the cats from the Tribe of Crashing Tides who will arrive at dawn to help them.

Would it be interesting if Lynx had narcolepsy? (a disorder where one has a high rate of falling asleep during the daytime. It would also explain his occasional forgetfulness of the rules, maybe depressing thoughts.)
It'd have a valid reasoning for his sometimes disappearances too. His previous backstory about being non-clan born also holds up too.

They can. Huh...

Post by LynxSoul on Apr 19, 2017 7:54:35 GMT -5
they can! Made sure to research if it was possible first. Just also noticed Lynx having sleep episodes makes it easier for me to be afk from canon due to college. It all fits my plans rather well.

I'm fine with it, so long as you acknowledge the inherent disadvantages associated with such a condition. Also, if you're going to have him pass out, you'll need to acknowledge how long he's asleep/out for, without contradicting the timeline in RP.
So, for right now, I'm ok with Lynxsoul and Stormpaw actively roleplaying at night, even though the rest of the clan is still in morning time, but in the future I'd like to avoid RP time conflicts if at all possible. It just makes interactions confusing when half of the clan is still in the morning/early afternoon timeframe while two cats are RPing hours later at night. It means you can't come into camp now without the storylines getting confused. Does that make sense?
Also, just giving everyone a heads up, this thread was moved from the "Clan Planning" section to the "Clan Subpages" section, if you're having trouble finding it.

Hmm, all right. I can try to plan out how long his sleep episodes are. Sorry if it got sidetracked, I myself had no idea he'd be out till nighttime(I was following Stormblaze's lead to be honest. Should've asked him first). I originally meant for it to be a few hours. . For the time being, given it's morning I could always reset him back at the camp to make sure things are consistent if it avoids plot holes.

I think we'll try to avoid jumping ahead in time in the future to make sure there's no inconstancy that arises. He should be currently back in camp without too much trouble on the plus side.
