With the fear of death enclosing around you, your paws move swiftly like a streak of lightning. Fear pulses from you, but you push away your concerns, and continue on. Before you know it, two piercing green eyes shine through the greenery, and you hesitate, cringing in wonder of what it could be. "Hello?" You call out, your tone quivering, hoping to be friendly enough, but not an answer is returned. As you open your mouth to try and please the stranger once more, a large muscled shape hurtles out, slamming into you with such force that you crash to the ground. Those hauntingly dim eyes stare at you with such intimidation, that you recoil your head, lip curling back in fear. Before you know it, the clan-cat stares at you, smiling confidently with his scarred muzzle curled up. His voice tweaks your nerves, and you find it hard to hear: "My name is Grim, Do you come as a friend, or a foe?"
Welcome to Rageclan, a literate warriors fan clan.

• Blurb about the clan
Rageclan is a fierce and mysterious clan. They populate a dense forest area with tall trees making them excellent climbers. They hunt both the birds and rodents that populate the area. Rageclan does not believe in Starclan or The Dark Forest, rather they believe in only the dead of their call which they call The Ancestors. Rageclan cats have the ability to see the ghosts of their ancestors on full moons, though some can see them at all times.

ADDERFALL | MALE | 30 MOONS | SINGLE | APPRENTICE
Adderfall is a lean and sleek tom with a short-haired caramel coat with dark brown markings on his muzzle and intense amber eyes. He has long white whiskers and very pointed facial features. Also, because of Adderfall's light frame, he can never undergo long acts of exercise without showing signs of fatigue and tends to stick close to the clan when leaving camp. Pride is Adderfall's greatest weakness and his ego causes him to distrust those around him and see them as below him. He is direct in his opinions and mostly appears with a sneer on his face when talking to anyone. He fully believes that the world around him is nothing compared to him and thus loathes those who try to tell him otherwise.

Sagewhisper | Male | 48 Moons | Single | Apprentice
Sagewhisper is a light grey tabby tom with very light grey eyes, and white ears. He is a very soft-spoken cat, and extremely kind and caring. He is always there to help his Clan, even if it means just sitting and listening to what they have to say. He was found abandoned as a kit by the previous medicine cat, and because of that, he always had a fascination with the role, and eventually became medicine cat apprentice. He has a small scar at the corner of his right eye towards his cheek, from a fight with one of the warrior apprentices who had taunted him, telling him he couldn't fight. Sagewhisper however beat the apprentice, and after that was taught quite a few battle moves, to allow him to defend himself and his Clan. However, he very rarely uses them.

A young small she cat, about half the size of a full grown cat, from a distant land. She has a bright firey ginger pelt, that glows in the sun and the moon.

He also has wide yellow eyes and shorter legs then normal. Scorchstep is known to be a tad oblivious and forgetful in the worst situations, but he does mean well. He doesn't look to start trouble and would rather stay friendly with everyone around him, but the trouble he tries to avoid tends to follow him. He is more commonly found walking in the forest, appreciating the fresh air and breeze then hunting with the other warriors or training an apprentice. With his head in the clouds, Scorchstep carries himself with gentle mannerisms and polite smiles.

He has stunning yellow eyes with white dots above his eyes and a white chin. Despite being quick, Lightningjumper couldn't avoid getting scars on his face that stretch from his nose to just under his left eyes from a fight with his brother.

Runningshadow | male | 36 moons | single | Apprentice
Runningshadow is a dark grey tabby tom, pretty much the exact opposite coat as his sister, with black stripes that almost blend into his dark grey. He has dark green eyes, and is incredibly agile. However, he is a larger cat than his sister, and because of this, often is unsuccessful during hunts, as he does not have stealth on his side.

Ravennight | Female | 36 Moons | Single | Apprentice
Ravennight is a pretty black she-cat with very dark grey stripes, almost blending into her fur, and dark blue eyes. She is extremely swift and agile, and is a magnificent hunter due to this. However, she has to rely on her ability to dodge and avoid hits in battle, as she is not very strong. Because of this, some cats see her as a coward, but she sees it as being smart and living to fight another day.

Veldetta | Female | 48 moons | Single | apprentice
She is of the lanky, long-limbed sort, and her fur patterning-inherited from her paternal grandfather Rose-is most unusual. She's mostly a deep russet in color, but her underbelly is a strange tan shade. Like many of her family before her, her ears are sharply curled in towards the center of her head, and her muzzle is elongated and narrow. Also like many members of her family, she possesses a snaggletooth; one that frequently pokes from the top right side of her mouth. She sadly did not inherit the extreme height of her mother, though her long legs make her look a lot taller than she actually is. Her eyes are a clear amber. Veldetta is flippant, arrogant, and thick-headed. She does not particularly care for the actions and decisions made by others, unless it directly affects her. Overall, she acts far more like an unruly apprentice than an adult. She most likely has some kind of heart somewhere deep down, though. Very, very deep down. Deserted her original home in order to try and make a new life for herself without family influence. Considers herself more than a bit of an anarchist, but truthfully she can't be bothered to do much of anything half the time. Through her mother, she is Rowanheart's niece (half-niece?), but is not aware. She'll probably figure out eventually, though. Was named after one of her mother's younger sisters.

Eclipse was born to the long dead clan known as Moon Clan, raised as the heir apparent. Unlike the clans of the forest, Moon Clan ruled by right of birth, with heirs being those that would take leadership. After moons of conflict, he was left for dead by a rival clan, until he found his way to Grim, which became a friendship that blossomed into a brotherhood. Eclipse prefers to keep to himself, and tends to be a bit more willing to fight rather than use diplomacy. The Rogue in the clan, Eclipse thrives on conflict, but will do anything to protect his family.

Cloverpaw is a powerfully-built she-cat with a tortoiseshell coat consisting of pale grays, dark grays, and cream shades. She has a white patch covering her muzzle, chest, and underbelly and yellow eyes. Cloverpaw more often chooses to stay quiet then raise her voice and doesn't see the point in worrying to hard about anything. She's extremely calm under pressure and is far more nonchalant then others if they're being yelled at. This can cause others to see her as cold, but she simply sees it as keeping a level head.

He has greenish yellow eyes, that in the sun almost have a hint of orange to them. (I wish I could just post a picture of him. Other than making him my profile pic.) Lionpaw is extremely feisty, going through his snippy teenager times, and does not like to follow orders, and loves getting himself into trouble and tough spots.

Duskwatcher | Male | 96 Moons | Single | Children: Ravennight & Runningshadow
Duskwatcher is a dark grey tabby tom with darker grey stripes, not quite as dark as his children. He has dark blue eyes, and was one of the best hunters and fighters in the Clan when he was young. However, age has taken some of the strength from his body and agility from his legs, causing him to retire to the elders den at about 84 moons. He is extremely caring, and is always up for telling the kits and apprentices stories, and loves to see their reactions at some of his favorites. His mate, Nighthawk, was killed in battle shortly after their kits became apprentices, and ever since then he has shut himself off to finding another mate, as he was heartbroken at the loss of his mate.

Rowanheart | Male | 71 Moons | Single | Niece: Veldetta
To put things simply, he is taller than most and rather bulky, with a lengthy dark russet coat that's laced with thin brown stripes. His right eye is amber, while the left is a golden yellow. His muzzle is blocky, and he has large paws befitting of his size. Rowanheart is an overall kind and caring cat, though the fact that he is stubborn and prideful may eventually become his downfall...That is, if he doesn't die of something else first. He used to be a bit of a playboy way back when, and no doubt has children running around somewhere; though, certainly not as much as his father has. He sticks to the law, no matter how much it may be detrimental to him, and he believes that truth and honor are of the utmost importance. Rowanheart can be effeminate, but not as much nowadays. If anything, he's kind of a martyr, as well.

The wind howled through the tree's as the moon rose in the night sky, the tendrils of darkness sweeping across the land. Within the clearing of the Rageclan camp, the large tom slowly made his way across the clearing. His steps were purposeful and screamed power. In the center of the camp is a large stone jutting up from the each, it has many edges that spike off in different shelves on the formation. The rock is dangerous due to the pointed shape, making it a hazard to climb up and down without injury. Though the cats of Rageclan are excellent at climbing and leaping, the rock itself is a test for new apprentices. Scaling the side of the rock Grimstar stood at the uppermost point and raised his chin to speak loudly to the clearing of felines.
"Let all cats gather here beneath the pointed stones for a clan meeting!"
Patiently he waited for the cats to approach and gather below before he would speak and start the meeting itself. His fluffy tail swished out behind him in an agitated motion, he was an impatient male. His stunning red gaze glittered with silent pride, he always held pride for his clan no matter how small or how big it would become.
---------------------------------------------------
Vintage darted from the warriors den when she heard the cry from Grim. Her lithe form slipping towards the rock that settled in the middle of the camp. The female's half blind gaze watched the large tom with curiosity. What would the meeting be about? Anticipation settled in the pit of her stomach as she reclined back onto her haunches. Quietly she groomed the side of her blue pelt, humming softly under her breath, she wanted to look presentable in front of the others. If her pelt was clean and free of debris perhaps it would draw away from her scarred appearance.

( Sorry it's a little late, had to step away for a sec ^^ )
Cloverkit slowly opened her eyes at the sudden call of Grimstar, blinking the drowsiness from her yellow eyes and stretched her front legs across the moss covered bedding laying underneath her. Gradually standing to her full height, the she-cat walked past the other empty nests inside of the den and emerged from the deep hole in the wall making up the nursery. Cat's began to gather underneath the jagged stones which Grimstar stood upon when she walked out and all looked up towards their leader. Grimstar always seem like an enigma to the young kit; prideful of his Clan and its cats, but ruthless to outsiders. Cloverkit couldn't understand the difference the older tom saw in his own clanmates and those who seemed to just wonder past the Clan borders. What made them different? "But, what difference would it make in thinking to hard about this?" Cloverkit supposed in her head before shaking away the thought and moving to stand near the back of the growing cluster of cats.
When reaching the edge of the circle, the tortoiseshell she-cat gently sat onto the ground below; wrapping her tail over her front paws and staring up towards the larger tom, she patiently waited for Grimstar to begin the meeting.
Adderfall clenched his jaw and felt the fur on his spine shoot up as he hear Grimstar's unexpected yowl and turned to watch him come to stand high above the Clan's clearing. Adderfall at been unblinkingly zoned into the distance far beyond the thick forest surrounding the camp and wasn't expecting his fellow tom's booming voice to suddenly assault his eardrums. With an annoyed flick of his ear and carefully placed footsteps, Adderfall went to sit near the bottom of the first rocks making up the Pointed Stones and look up towards the other tom, waiting for him to begin.

Lightningjumper slowly began to stir as his fellow warriors filed out of the den, leaving just him and his sleeping brother. Sleep tugged at his eyelids tempting him to fall back asleep and learn about what the meeting was about later, but his curiosity got the better of him. His dark paws slowly lifted him up, stretching out before him with a loud yawn. A still sleeping brother caught his attention as he sat back into his nest and continued to keep himself awake. Lightningjumper once again rose to his paws, gently stretching out to poke his sleeping brother who was gently snoring. "Wake up, Spiderflame." He meowed gently, remembering what happened last time he woke him up. As his brother refused to stir he gave up with a small sigh before making his way out of the den, falling into line with the others as he made his way to the pointed stones. Lightningjumper let out a small his of disappointment as he was forced to sit near the back due to his late start.

(No problem at all~)
Grimstar took pride in keeping RageClan to itself, keeping the clan secure in it's own territory. He didn't follow the warrior code of the other clans around the area, RageClan followed it's own code and that's what made them dangerous. Grim didn't scold outright killing during a battle with another clan, if they were to survive they had to do what was necessary. However there was one thing he held above all others in his clan, the kits. The kits were to him one of the most important roles within the clan. Without the kits there wouldn't be a future, no growth, they would eventually die off without new birth. He made sure the kits were trained well when they reached the right age and were mentored by seasoned warriors that were ready to take on the task.
Letting his crimson gaze scan the crowd he settled upon the female that was finally ready to take her next step within the clan. "Cloverkit. Come join me." With a critical stare he watched and waited. This was her first trial, she must scale the rock to the top where he stood, if she was brave enough to face the danger the jagged rock posed. While he waited for Cloverkit to meet him at the top he let his gaze settle upon the rest of the cats as he spoke again.
"I would like to congratulate Darkstalker and Adderfall on their placements as deputies of RageClan. Work well together and you will help RageClan succeed." Grimstar firmly believed having two deputies was absolutely necessary. If he needed to make a decision the third vote would break any tie he had with just one deputy. Furthermore having two deputies meant the clan would have a more stable hierarchy. Upon falling pray to his last life Grim would decide who would take over after his death. The other deputy would remain a deputy for the new leader. It would be the next leaders job to pick a suitable cat to take up the open co-deputy position by the next night.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Vintage eyed Adderfall and murmured a light congratulations to him for gaining the deputy position. "Congratulations.." her voice was soft spoken and barely audible but she tried to keep from being shy. Turning her head away she refocused upon the kitten that was to join Grimstar and begin her journey as an apprentice for the clan. Her tail swept out behind her and she cleared her throat softly.

(Casually realized its his sister, so my bad.)
Lightningjumper smiled at the selection for the new deputies, knowing they would fulfill their jobs well. His attention quickly turned towards Cloverkit, his stomach churning knowing what she was feeling as she prepared to climb. Please let her do well. He thought to himself as he raised onto all fours to try and catch a glimpse at her climb. Lightningjumper slowly crept behind other warriors attempting to find a way to catch a better glimpse, but also trying not to disturb others. He expertly jumped onto a rock near the elders den, purring with satisfaction that he could now see Cloverkit and Grimstar perfectly.

Darkstalker said nothing, merely dipping his head respectfully, his gaze sweeping out over the gathered cats, his Clan. He was extremely honored to be named deputy, though he kept his cool and calm facade. He was not one to show emotions very quickly, and he knew that many of the cats saw him as cold and unfeeling, but if that was what he was to them, so be it. His tail tip flicked, watching Cloverkit join Grim. He had been watching the kit for awhile, and was interested to see who Grimstar would choose as a mentor for her.

Cloverkits eyes widened as Grimstar called her name and with an almost dazed look, she stood up onto her paws and began to walk pass turning cats towards the tom. The she-cat was many moons old, but still, she didn't even realize that if was coming time for her to begin her warrior training instead of remaining in the nursery. When Grimstar continued with his speech and spoke to his newly appointed deputies, Cloverkit weaved throughout the crowd, stepping over swaying tails and brushing against shoulders to finally came to the bottom of the first stones of Pointed Stones. The tortoiseshell cat turned her gaze to look at Adderfall and Darkstalker, who stood next to each other at the base and quickly nodded her congratulations towards them before flicking her gaze to steadily map what path she could take up. With a deep breath and a look of concentration, Cloverkit prepared herself for the first jump towards apprenticehood. "One step at a time." The she-cat whispered to herself in a quiet voice before hopping onto the first boulder.
On impact of the first jump, Cloverkit squared her shoulders to steady her landing and firmly planted her paws onto the slab of rock. The she-cat felt the shock of landing onto the hard rock travel up her spine with a shudder, but she knew she needed to continue up and prove herself to the Clan. Cloverkit next looked towards her right and saw jagged ends of stone pointing straight up into the night sky and knew that way wouldn't be possible. She then turned to her left and saw that not to far off was a stable enough jagged end where she could pull herself onto an bypass the more dangerous looking jumps. The jump to this end was only a little bit out of her reach, but the she-cat wasn't one to waste time when there was a quicker way. Cloverkit backed up towards the end of the current slab she stood on and crouched down into a running position, before shooting up and just about running off the slab, but at the last second, jumping high into the air. Flying into the air in a large arc, Cloverkit unsheathed her claws as she descended over the edge and latched onto the nearest corner she could grab onto to. With her back legs dangling over, Cloverkit pulled herself up and tried to calm her rapidly beating heart. Taking another deep breath, the she-cat looked towards a far easier path up to Grimstar then the path she saw before. With a small smile, Cloverkit began to jump between each stone up to the leader.
Adderfall grimaced at Vintages congratulations and sneered towards the she-cats as she looked away from the caramel colored tom. He didn't need her congratulations; he didn't need anyone's. Why would he when he knew that he deserved the position, certainly not any of them. "They had no right to speak to me as if they are above me" Adderfall thought to himself bitterly before watching the new apprentice begin her climb up Pointed Stones.

Grimstar watched Cloverkit scale the rock with some difficulty and chuckled a bit under his breath. The sound was silent to all but him. When she made it up to the easier path away from the jagged points that offered a fierce danger he purred. "Congratulations..you've passed your first trial." Pride rolled through his tone as he eyed the young kitten. She held promise and he was pleased she hadn't fallen or cut herself on the jagged rock. Straightening up his glittering crimson eyes stared at Cloverkit, accessing her in his own silent way. Slowly he paced a circle around her smaller form before stopping at her side, his long tail sweeping out behind him. "Cloverkit has successfully climbed to the top! She has earned her title as Cloverpaw, an apprentice of RageClan. She as well has earned herself a mentor. I have decided that I, Grimstar, will mentor Cloverpaw through her journey to being a full warrior of the clan." Turning to face her he brushed his muzzle across the top of her head. "Welcome to your next step in becoming one of the clan. Cloverpaw." Raising his chin he chanted the young apprentice's name, acknowledging her becoming an apprentice.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Vintage tensed at the burning gaze she felt on her pelt. She bristled and kneaded her claws against the dirt beneath her. A quiet growl rolling through her throat before it faded off into nothing. Silent she focused upon the ceremony that was happening. Lightly she chanted Cloverpaw's name with the others, greeting the young apprentice as she took her next steps within RageClan. The clan was growing and Vintage was proud to see an apprentice, she hoped at some point there would be more kits to train and grow.

Darkstalker was a bit surprised at that announcement, but said nothing. He made a mental note to speak to Grimstar about apprenticing the next kits that came of age. He had not had an apprentice in a long time, though many cats said he should. It took him a lot of time to be comfortable with new cats, to the point that after the fiasco of his first apprentice, he had made sure he got to know his second apprentice from an early age.
((Would we be able to have Adderfall have been one of his apprentices?))

"They had no right to speak to me as if they are above me" Adderfall thought to himself bitterly before watching the new apprentice begin her climb up Pointed Stones. Would it be alright with you is Adderfall was one of Darkstalker's old apprentices? |

Duskwatcher sat at the back edge of the gathered cats, Ravennight and Runningshadow beside him, watching Grimstar and Cloverpaw, his tail tip twitching. He liked Cloverpaw, as she has always been eager to listen to his stories and a good listener, and he would be excited to see her grow up.
((Actually, could I have it that Ravennight has a crush on Grimstar? If so I'll add more to this post.))

( Hey Oak, I just got on ^^ )
( 'Course Sky, I'm fine with that :^) )
Cloverpaw's eyes widened at Grimstar's decision to take her under his wing and looked up towards the older tom with bright stars in her eyes. This turn of events was unbelievable to the young she-cat; she just couldn't believe that she earned the right to train with such a high profile cat in the Clan and it made her feel almost special. Cloverpaw felt the feeling of pride bubble up inside her as her clanmates began to chant her name and looked over the edge with a small grin directed towards the celebrating cats. Then stepping back from the ledge and turning her head back towards Grimstar, she lightly spoke through the loud shouts. "Thank you for this opportunity, you won't regret it."

[Might join, but I'm not quite sure who to put in here. Some of my characters just seem a bit too soft for this Clan, y'know?
Also, there's the fact that I barely remember who's still free to do whatever with haha]

Sorry I work 7-3 so I'm always online after work c: To runningsky fine with thats fine me about Ravennight crushing on Grim  . )) Grimstar beamed at the young apprentice, his tail waving behind him out of contentment. "You're quite welcome young one." Turning his attention back to the cats gathered he spoke lightly. "If anyone has any concerns or questions, now would be the time to present them. Otherwise this meeting will be adjured." Teeth flashing briefly he dragged his tongue across the sharp points as he waited for the clan to respond. Otherwise the next business on his mind was having his Deputy's organize some border and hunting patrols. Briefly his gaze dropped to both Adderfall and Darkstalker, watching the pair idly, his expression giving nothing away. |

( I think it's good to have softer cat's in a Clan like this Wade. My cat Scorchstep is like one of my softest cats and he's part of the Clan ^^ )

Just gotta decide who..Man, if I went with the ones I was thinking of, they'd probably all be elders because they're around 6 human years old.] |

(Yeah, i have to agree. You have to have soft cats too, not every cat will be born fierce.)
Darkstalker glanced at Adderfall, his tail tip twitching ever so slightly. He was very glad to be deputies with his former apprentice, though he knew there would be some problems with Adderfall's pride. He had been an extremely hard apprentice to train sometimes, his pride preventing him from admitting he was wrong, though Darkstalker had tried to convince him that admittance of wrongdoing was not the same as lowering of pride, though it was not a lesson he was sure Adderfall had understood.
Ravennight watched Grimstar closely, honestly not really listening to the ceremony, her tail waving happily, trying hard not to purr softly, as she knew her father and brother would hear. She had been harboring a crush on the tom for quite awhile, in awe at his leadership skills, as well as his strength and cunning, though she has yet to work up the courage to talk to him outside of her duties.
Runningshadow could tell that his sister wasn't paying attention, and wasn't surprised. Runningshadow and Duskwatcher had both noticed her watching Grimstar more and more, and both of them were quite amused by it." Raven, pay attention.", he hissed softly to his sister, who started.
"Wh-what? Oh, oh! I am.". She said, though her gaze never left Grimstar.

( That's okay Grim, I can only be one at in the day 2 cuz of work )
Adderfall watched Grimstar briefly speech to his newly appointed before turning back towards the Clan and directing a questions to the masses below the jagged rocks. He sighed quietly through his clench jaw and idly swung his tail back and forth in the dirt under his paws; more interested in watching the dust fly a few inches into the air rather then sitting around and listening to cats complain over nothing. As he continued to burn holes into the ground, the tom suddenly felt Grimstar turn his head to look towards himself and his former mentor and met his eyes, holding his gaze without flinching away. Adderfall wasn't sure how he felt about the older tom, he could see that he was a cat that deserved to be leader and led the Clan towards greatness, but in his heart he felt like he could do ten-fold what Grimstar had accomplished. After a moment, Adderfall slid his gaze away from Grimstar and instead leered towards his former mentor and could almost feel the hair on his spine raise in dislike. Why was he chosen as deputy? Adderfall couldn't understand why Darkstalker was given the position instead of him and he hated the feeling of failure that knocked against his brain.

Darkstalker could feel Adderfall's gaze on him, and turned his head to look at his former apprentice, meeting his gaze, which he held steadily, his face and eyes giving nothing away. He had at one point thought of Adderfall as a son, until his former apprentices pride had caused the two of them to have a falling out of sorts, which saddened Darkstalker, but he had come to accept it. He could not change another cat's thoughts and actions, no more than he could change the course of the river. He just had to accept it and move on, and not dwell in the past. The past would do no cat any harm, but the future could, and he had to be looking forward to what could come, not back to what had been. After a few seconds with his gaze on Adderfall's, he turned back to look out at the other cats, his Clan. He would serve them to the best of his abilities, and to his last breath, whether that was at the end of this life, or his ninth if he became leader. While he would never say it out loud, he hoped Grimstar would pick him to succeed him, though not for a long time. But he had a feeling Adderfall would not be ready for leadership, maybe not ever. He would have to learn that his pride would have to come after his Clan, not before.

Sagewhisper sat just outside his den, far off from the other cats, watching them. He was more content to stay by his den than be in the middle of the large group of cats, though he was happy for Cloverpaw, and quite surprised when Grimstar took her as his apprentice. He flicked his tail, watching his leader. He was glad for Grimstar to have been made leader, especially since he made him feel welcome all the time in the Clan. He was one of the only cats that had not been born in the Clan, and sometimes he got hostile looks from some of the older cats, or heard whispers from the apprentices, though he always tried to block them out, though it was hard sometimes. He didn't like being different, but it wasn't something he could change.
