. hello all
My name is Dampreed. Call my Damp, Reed, Tor, Tweed, or any respectable nickname. I am looking to make either one Clan or two Clans set in an age of war. Disease, hunger, and injury is common. Bloodshed is eminent.
The Clan or Clans will live in an area with broken buildings, preferably a once popular city. The ranks will be the following: General - Leader, Lieutenant - Deputy, Medic - Medicine Cat, Soldier - Warrior, Cadet - Apprentice, Mother - Queen, Kitten - Kit, Retiree - Elder. There will also be prisoners of war. I will introduce new ranks under the Soldier category - Runners, Spies, Combatants, and Guards.
t h i n g s . t o . d o [x] clan name - WhisperClan & FaithClan [ ] territory [ ] camp [ ] plot line [ ] rules [ ] soldier code [ ] herb list [x] new naming system - Each rank will have specific suffixes for warrior names, though names will be accepted if they fit relatively into the category. Common suffixes for combatants are -fang, -claw, -scar, and -strike. Common suffixes for runners include -path, -step, -spring, and -sprint. Common suffixes for spies include -shade, -shadow, -whisper, and -hiss. Common suffixes for guards include -fur, -tail, -foot, -fall, and -leg.

It's so good to see you, dear!
Hmm, well, we can start off by deciding if you want one or two clans. If it was one clan, then perhaps the fighting would need to be centered within the clan, with affects coming from the outside such as famine or disease.
If you wanted to do a two-clan deal, then the clans could fight eachother, but there could be room for working together as famine and disease brings cats to need to work together to even survive? Maybe one of the leaders is crazy, but the other wants to assist?
Lots of room for ideas!

I'm thinking two Clans that have polar opposite morals and ideas. I like the idea of having a crazy General for one Clan. And maybe the other is timid and more willing to work together.
Potential names I had in mind were WhisperClan and FaithClan.
I also want a specific naming system based on rank for the Soldiers.

Yeah, I like that idea for the clans. I think Whisperclan is a sweet name, and Faithclan I could get used to.
What kind of naming system? Like, what kind of soldier they are dictates their name? Will it be warrior or names or more like tribal names, or really any names wanted?

I don't know why but I really want to have Mothstar of FaithClan and Shallowshell of WhisperClan.
I want warrior names, just specific to ranking for the soldiers. Like combatants have suffixes like -scar, -fang, -claw, etc.

Oh, I see! That's cute- hey, idk if you feel this idea or nah, but maybe its Monarchstar and Mothstar? Like, a butterfly v. a moth? Just an idea that came to my head when I read that!
So more violent suffixes for the combatants? That could work out c:

Ooh I like that! Like a lot!
Yeah basically combatants would have more battle-based names. Runners would have names based on movement or walking such as -step, -path, -spring. I'm unsure of spies or the other ranks.

I thought it was cute c:
That sounds reasonable! Spies could have quiet-based names like -shade, -whisper, etc. Then again, it could be difficult to restrict people to certain character names. As long as it generally fits the bill of what you would expect for a name of that rank, I think it's okay for some creativity.
Where are the clans going to be based in environment-wise? A city yes, but is it a cold city, jungle city, regular plant-overrun city?

Yeah basically anything that fits the bill for what should be expected for those ranks is fine.
I was thinking a jungly, plant-overrun city. There could be sewers used for hunting and traveling through when it rains (potential for acidic rain). I was thinking the weather always being humid and warm. I'm thinking for a divider between the Clans' territories is basically a rut in the road with stagnant water in it.
Omg I already have character ideas xD I'm bringing Stagnantpetal for sure. And creating Lightninghollow, Cloverbee, Dawnthistle, and Onyxstorm.

You get your character ideas friend c:
That's sounds like a good climate. It could give some room for animal and plant life someone wouldn't typically see in a regular city, as it's become so overrun and with a climate changed from what it had been when people lived in it? Like storks and such, we can work it out.
So, what things do we need to work out? Any special territory stuff or is that just the basis? And religion, etc. and we can work out the plot later.

Yeah I'm okay with bringing in some more warm-climate animals. Nothing too outrageous obviously haha. Wanna make a list of what you think would be good to add?
I don't really have much ideas as far as landmarks or for religion. That's a good basis for territory and we should just spring ideas for both Clans territories as far as landmarks.
I was thinking a neutral meeting place could be a library near the center of the city.

I could certainly get to writing a list up of animals that have overrun the civilization in a hot climate! Nothing like crocodiles or anything, but some birds and plant life probably.
Sounds like a good territory basis! We can work on more in-depth things if need be. A good peaceful meeting place could be a fountain? It is absolutely neutral territory to be at, kind of like Peace Rock in the Jungle Book, because it is a source of fresh water for cats and other creatures alike! A library would be good too! We should work out clan camps, how the two are different?
I never do much regarding religion in roleplays, so it could just be the simple Starclan belief?
Will the clan have any special traditions? My mind always goes to jewelry or paint work, but idk, it's up to you, if you can think of anything special?

Yeah pretty much just birds and plant life. Maybe smaller animals.
I think maybe the library could have a fountain in like the back courtyard? Because I really like that idea of having a neutral, peaceful spot.
Yeah very simple StarClan-worshipping religion.
I also think to that too. Maybe different paint insignia for the different soldier ranks. And I was thinking a tradition of a woven flower necklace when a Mother finds she is expecting kittens, made by her mate.

Maybe different paint insignia for the different soldier ranks. And I was thinking a tradition of a woven flower necklace when a Mother finds she is expecting kittens, made by her mate. Sounds good! I could draft some animal stuff, maybe some plant things too. Perhaps some of the cats have some common mutations as well? Nothing too wild and unrealistic, but different eye mutations like lavender and red, and all ranges of pelt colors can be accepted. Within realism of course, like no purple or blue cats, or what I call the 'fox characters', which are unrealistic designs like a literal fox with the red and white and black socks that are genetically impossible in cats, that kind of thing is a no-no. But a black cat could be just as common as a tortoiseshell, or a silver-blue, or a orange tabby, or a white cat? No real specifics colors to the region? It leaves more area for creativity.
I like that idea! A nice neutral place, with fresh water and a quietness. There could be some drama there too, but we can think of it as we go.
I always love paint and jewelry work in roleplays, so I love that idea! Different ranks get different symbols. Perhaps, every clan cat has a beginning sign, and different symbols are added to it as they move in ranks, have children, have apprentices, or even get moved from rank to rank, exile, prisoner of war, etc. Also that is a super sweet idea with the flower, I'm a sucker for mate interactions c:
Do you want to start on a list of different landmarks and what kind of camp each clan has? And which one has the leader who doesn't want help, and which has the nicer and timid leader?

I think that would be fine. It would be interesting to have a more diverse Clan with colors and such, so I'm totally okay with that idea.
Yes! I really wanna have a skirmish there that causes StarClan to be unnaturally quiet.
FaithClan is going to have the more timid style, but with a crazy leader. WhisperClan will be more battle-oriented but have a quiet, timid leader.
I think instead of two Clan pages, we just keep everything together on one page. It would be easier for members wanting to join both Clans so they don't have to jump from page to page.
I think FaithClan should have the western side of the territory. Their camp could be a collapsed bank that only has one entrance due to the others being blocked from fallen buildings and such. Maybe prisoners can be kept in the vault and that's also where the soldiers sleep? WhisperClan could be on the eastern side and their camp could be the upper floor of a taller building.

Perhaps leaders can have a headdress of sorts? And medicine cats get a necklace I was thinking of not having too much jewelry and focus more on paint, leaving just flower necklaces for the expecting Mothers. Or perhaps FaithClan has more of the jewelry and WhisperClan has more paint? To tell them apart?

Post by ᴍɪsᴛғᴀʟʟ » on Jul 22, 2017 19:45:45 GMT -5
I love that idea of differentiation between the clans. Since Whisperclan is more battle, they could have the paint, and Faithclan have more jewelry accents?
Dude I'm down for some library drama.
We could keep it to one page, but we'd have to keep it super organized, because people are roleplaying in two different clans but on the same page, so that could get confusing for some people.
Those camps sound good to me!

Yeah I was thinking of having a designated header for roleplaying within each Clan. Like just the Clans name at the top of each role play post.

Yes, actually. That works perfect haha.
Any landmark idea for each Clan?

Post by [ ᴅᴀᴍᴘʀᴇᴇᴅ ] on Jul 22, 2017 20:53:53 GMT -5
Here are some ideas I'm brainstorming for landmarks. In FaithClan, I was thinking maybe a twisted tree growing up through the broken gravel road? And maybe a tunnel in the downtown region where moss grows abundantly?
In WhisperClan, I was thinking about having the sewers be in their territory. And also maybe a vine-tangled lamppost that marks the center of their territory?
I also added to the main post, including more on the warrior names.
For names of the landmarks, I was thinking maybe just the Twisted Tree and Moss Tunnel for FaithClan. And maybe for WhisperClan, they could be called Rat Drainpipes and the Vine Post?
