i'm definitely making my Clan lit, but i might be flexible with certain posts, as i understand that it's not always possible to write 12+ sentences in reply to someone. but i'm gonna call it lit for now.
also, Red, i really like that idea!! if you don't mind me using it, i'll type up the actual story now!! you should come up with your jackal's "how it came to be" story so we can kinda mesh them together in some kind of way? just so their history is tangled.

post it here when you do! i'm gonna type up Akili's origin story very quickly...
many, many moons ago, when BrokenClan (then known as PoolClan) had first formed, an owl made her nest in a hole in a cactus. some say that cactus still stands, but the hole is no where to be found, and if you ask three different cats, you'll get three different answers for where, exactly, this cactus is located. this female owl had three owlets, however, two were taken away predators before they ever became full-fledged. the mother owl was so filled with grief from the loss of her two owlets, so she flew off to start anew, leaving the last owlet for dead. this young bird didn't know what to do, so she tried flying - and tumbled to the ground.
it is rumored that she laid there for four days and four nights before at BrokenClan cat, named Snakewhisker (subject to change sorry), found her. Snakewhisker was a compassionate cat, and respected wildlife, as taught to her by her elders. she decided to begin caring for the owlet, and eventually, the young bird imprinted on her. Snakewhisker named the owlet Akili, meaning "wise". eventually, Snakewhisker introduced Akili to the Clan, where she lived a long, prosperous life hunting mice for BrokenClan, and nesting in cacti in their territory. Akili even outlived Snakewhisker, and died when the she-cat's first litter of kits were already elders.
Akili was a smart being, and knew concepts of gratitude and repaying depts. now, in the afterlife, she looks after OwlClan (after the split of PoolClan, but that's another tale) from above. however, she only appears to a cat if the message is important or urgent - so you'll be lucky if you ever catch a glimpse of her starry feathers.
that's just a quick, rough-draft, bare bones origin story, and might change.

omg, no worries! part of the creative process is changing your mind.
is it going to be the same kind of thing, where the coyote offers advice and help to SunClan, or what?
i like the idea of him just being called Coyote; it might not be consistent, but it creates a difference between the two Clans. would you prefer me just call Akili "Owl", or do you think the difference is good?
also, Moments and Cas, are you going to have anything like this, or is it just OwlClan and SunClan?

In PoolClan, another symbol of the Clan's strength is the Coyote. While Akili the Owl taught BrokenClan to easily be the smartest Clan, the Coyote was considered the Clan's guardian angel. Whenever they won a battle, or had a plentiful hunting season, they would thank the Coyote for their blessings. Yet, unlike Akili, no one ever met this mysterious protector of their Clan.
When PoolClan split, SunClan took the Coyote as their own, considering Sun's ragtag group of warriors should not have won the Battle of BrokenClan.
The Coyote, which now symbolizes SunClan's belief of health of state before health of self, comes to SunClan Warriors to give important news to cats, mostly the Clan's leader.
And Akili should stay Akili; I like the difference of the names

Red, i actually really like it!! keeping him as more of a "guardian angel" type of deal rather than a real entity is also a good idea! i think you can develop him more through lore as well.
hmm, Cas, maybe a mother bear? because she puts the needs of her cubs ahead of her own safety... i'm not sure if that works, but oh well.

we should write a bit about how Akili and Coyote met in StarClan (or the afterlife, or the heavens, or whatever). maybe that will help you think harder about Coyote and his personal lore? as well as his personality - maybe the morals of each are similar, but one fights for the Clan with tooth and claw (Coyote) while the other prefers peace and cooperation, even if that means sacrificing a bit or compromising, since that's the smart thing to do (Akili)?

A bear really could work, but I'm pretty sure bears aren't really in the desert. cx

oh shoot, i totally forgot. ugh, that makes it so much more difficult. DarkClan could be a snake, since snakes tend to represent the same kind of ideas that DarkClan does - self preservation and such. maybe SolaceClan could be a kangaroo? because they carry their young around or something... that would put us in Australian desert, but desert nonetheless. i might think of something else later, though.

Kangaroo could work, seems kind of interesting too xD I'd like to wait to hear Moment's opinion as well though! I'll keep looking up desert animals in the mean time.

sounds good! i'm not really sure what else there is to do for OwlClan specifically. i might design my leader really quickly, and give him/her some history. any opinion on gender, as i'm completely neutral right now.

I think Coyote's personality is going to be easy to think of. Personalities usually give me no bother, but developing characters like this...I think however it'll be easier if we make their lore about how they met. What if that's how Sun and Owl realized they had to try to be friendly again? Coyote or Owl came to one of them and said "buddy ol pal you gotta help the other person" |

i still need to give Owl a proper name... but yes, i think that Akili should come to Owl and tell her to help Sun out and try to make amends. i think that works best if it goes in that direction, because Sun and his gang were the original attackers?
but they should've met before that, because they're both involved in PoolClan. maybe Coyote always existed, and when Akili became a new symbol and helper for the Clan, Coyote became angry? and that, along with some bickering between the two and also within PoolClan, leads to the split?
i might have to go for a while, but i'll be back later.

hmm, i like Sunstar, but you'll still have to think of a warrior name for him, haha 
okay so i think Owl's name is going to be Fernstar. curse this desert environment, it's so hard to come up with names, etc. i'll have to think of Owl's official name soon, though, i might go with Hazelstar, with the warrior name Hazelheart? anyway, maybe Sunstar and Hazelstar were kinda rivals as Sunpaw and Hazelpaw of PoolClan - they never liked each other, just because they were morally different, and always had a bit of a tense relationship. and then when Sun(?) revolts, and the leader (we might need a name) and deputy (we might need a name) of PoolClan are killed, Hazelheart rises up as the leader of the remaining Clan cats that are fighting against Sun(?). and she decides that reasoning with him, and eventually splitting the territory, is wise - and Sun(?) thinks it's best for his group. does that make sense?

i have no complaints with that!! sounds great to me.
see, you're not bad at this!! and then Coyote becomes the spirit guide or whatever for SunClan, and Akili the guide for OwlClan, and they maintain a peaceful and even helpful at times relationship. nice!
we should probably start thinking about current Clans sometimes soon.

ooh, yeah i didn't think of that. so which Clan's border each other? OwlClan and SunClan for sure, but who is on SunClan's other side, and who is on OwlClan's other side? also, where are the StarClan meeting place and gathering place located?
