Hey, guys! I have an idea for a clan loosely based in the Gulf of Maine. It has cool wildlife and a really diverse territory and it something pretty different than what I usually make. Not sure if I want it to be a traditional or not but we can figure that out together!
I would love for to make this a two-clan rp so we can be rivals and add a lot of drama but if an already existing clan wants to share a border, maybe with our pine forest, that would work too.
I want this to be a fast-pace, exciting clan with dedicated and creative members. Please help my idea reach its full potential!
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Idea List
- Believe in StarClan? Ancestors? Other?
- A legend possibly involving water, spirits, sea serpents?
- Maybe instead of burying their dead, they take them as far away from camp as possible and set them out to sea?

Also, with the Rival Clan part, I see that you are the leader of AstralClan, and I do believe that perhaps AstralClan and this clan can be rivals. I am part of a clan called AetherClan where the leader (Fireh) is also leader to another clan called AstraClan. Though I am not sure she made both clans rivals to eachother, I think you can do something similar.

AstraClan has closed down unfortunately and they were in different settings anyway. I could be double leader but I wan this idea to get a lot of people involved, so one important role only. So I will be the leader of the original clan and the leader for the rival clan will be decided later.

Gulf-Based Clan Territory: - a camp based in an air-pocket cavern, must swim through a water-filled tunnel to reach
- pine forest away from the ocean
- the actual water, maybe with stone out croppings or something
[li]some kind of tall cliffy place - rocky beaches, like a small private one for training and a human filled one
- a spiritual place
- maybe a dock and a road that could lead to a far off town? So we could introduce kittypets and stuff

One of the things that can make your clan better is to have a special skill-what some cats from the clan might be able to do well. You might understand by these examples:
ThunderClan - Special Skill: Can handle and survive well in forest undergrowth. ShadowClan - Special Skill: Excellent at hiding and not being detected. RiverClan - Special Skill: Cats from this clan have no trouble catching fish and can easily swim in water. WindClan - Special Skill: Specializes in speed and relies on large spaces. Can catch fast rodents. SkyClan - Special Skill: Excellent in climbing trees and launching themselves off from them.
But before that, I kind of agree with Lemon. You should decide what she asked, then I suggest we decide how the territory should be like and what the clan's skill should be?

I also forgot to mention appearances. Cats within each clan have different appearances which would help them achieve their skill. Here are more examples:
ThunderClan - I don't have much to say about ThunderClan, since while I have been observing it seems like ThunderClan cats' don't rely on their appearance.
ShadowClan - Most ShadowClan cats can have dark shades of fur. One of the reasons this may be is to not be detected or aware of their presence when they are hiding. Mostly in the dark.
RiverClan - Some RiverClan cats are a bit large and slightly bulky. One of the reasons this may be is to perhaps withstand currents while swimming or hunting in water.
WindClan - WindClan cats are thin and slim, with strong hind legs. One of the reasons this may be is to achieve the goal of running fast from an enemy or catching fast rodents possible.
SkyClan - Similar to WindClan, SkyClan cats have powerful hind legs and sharp claws that allow them to climb trees and jump from them.

I already have a rough idea of territory and their skills. Since they live around sand, rocky cliffs, and the ocean I though swimming/diving, digging, climbing, cold resistance,and holding their breath a long time would be a idea.
I want to avoid stifling members so I think I will stay away from a common clan appearance.

I mean, to be fair, it lasted 9 months and I was studying abroad at the time so that's impressive. But sadly all things come to an end.

nicenice alright, which gulf are we talking about? like,,casco bay or somewhere else? I'm not sure. I was kind barely it loosely off Maine, not a specific place, cause I've never been there. However, if you ha specific place would be better I can try and work with that.

I'll help! What do we need to work on. A lot lol. I have a rough idea for territory needs to be worked on and I have a good prey/predator list that I will post when we start getting everything together. I would like some unique customs as well. I'm trying to decide if I want it to be a traditional clan or if I want to get creative with it.

Also, I am not completely sure about making it a two clan to or not. I know I want a rival but we can always ask to share borders with an existing clan with a similar territory.
Let's work on making the first clan then we can decide on what to do later.

Alright.
I also like the idea of their skill being to hold their breath a long time and swimming/diving. Maybe even digging.

Post by xfogpathx on Jul 4, 2017 13:27:00 GMT -5
I did list digging lol.
What do you think about making a traditional clan or a more creative clan? That should be decided soon so we can work accordingly.

I think we should have a more unique clan because it draws more attention to it. Agreed.

Post by xfogpathx on Jul 4, 2017 13:37:00 GMT -5
Sweet. My last one was more unique too. I had something called Trials that I would love to adjust and possibly bring to this clan.

We could call some ranks differently. Such as the Leader can be called Chief or Monarch.

Post by xfogpathx on Jul 4, 2017 13:43:34 GMT -5
Different titles or more ranks are definitely a good idea to put on the list. We would probably make them ocean themed or themed to water lore or backstory we make.

We should think about the clan's religion. Does the clan believe in StarClan or have some other belief? What about having folklores and stories about the clan as well?
And just so you know, for me I like to decide the clan's name after everything else.

Post by xfogpathx on Jul 4, 2017 14:01:18 GMT -5
My last clan didn't believe in StarClan but rather in spirits. So maybe something like That?
Anyone have any good lore ideas lol

For lore ideas I think there should be at least one to scare the clan kits lol. Maybe some cats encountered fire in firepits and torches, deciding to call them Blaze Foxes and make them folklores too? The clan kits would be told that the Blaze Foxes "could turn you into ash with a touch".

Im not sure when they would see fire like that.
Some kind of spirit-like monster, maybe a sea monster or something that drags you under like the undertow maybe. Could be a fun little legend.

Maybe something related to a Sea Serpent?
