I just came back from vacation at Seattle, and I've been thinking about this place that I went to. It's called the Hoh Rainforest, and really, this clan idea just came into my mind because there's a lot of great places that cats could live.
Anyways, in the past, Mount Rainier (another mountain) had many lahars (go search it up. I'm not gonna give you the definition here lol) and it has caused great destruction, making twolegs move out, while their pet cats either came along with them, or was left behind. Those who survived joined together so they could sort of team up and depend on each other for survival. They traveled 220 miles (yeah, I know. A lot) and reached the Hoh Rainforest, seeing all those monsters. Of course, they were kittypets before and got all excited, but most of those twolegs that came out either ignored them, kicking them away, and their kits sometimes screamed and ran away. There were kinder ones, but most of them either just petted them, and those who were eating fed them food. I'm sure we all know that dogs and cats are allergic to chocolate because it has caffeine, theobromine, and many other substances in it, which is very poisonous to them. Those twoleg kits obviously weren't that smart and fed them chocolate, and other foods of which they are allergic to, causing them to get sick and eventually die. Very few survived, and those who did started to detest them and hide. The Hoh Rainforest is pretty big, and is great for hiding. And so then, they just decided to stay away from them, of course. But not all twolegs stay on the paths that are laid out, and they sometimes see those cats, causing hostility. Those twolegs didn't know their past, obviously, but those cats hate twolegs and it causes a sort of battle.
Well, I suggest you to go search up some facts of the Hoh Rainforest. I only really know the basics, and the only prey of which I know that they can eat is chipmunks. lol. I know. Not much.
I've also got the introduction figured out, and the history (it's right up there, duh). Rules, those are easy, but I'll still make a check list anyways.

After padding through unknown lands for days, you saw something. Housefolk... their cars. I wonder if any of them are mine? You excitedly ran forward, inspecting every single one. Suddenly you heard a hiss. Stiffening, you looked around, trying to locate who it came from. "Why are you even down there?" Looking up, you spotted a dark brown tabby tom standing on top of a monster, glaring at you. What's the problem with this cat? You wondered. "Those twolegs'll see you!" He hissed. "Twolegs?" You wondered aloud, dumbfounded. The tom rolled his eyes. "You know, those tall, pinkish colored creatures. Probably know them as housefolk. Well guess what? Those twolegs aren't as friendly as you think they are right here! So stop standing right there!" You still didn't understand why he had hated them so much. "But why? They don't cause any harm. They're just creatures. And they're actually really nice." You suddenly felt bold and stronger and asked challengingly, "I bet you never lived with them before, so how do you know?" He narrowed his eyes. "You don't know my past. Now, end of questions. I'm taking you to my leader." "But–" "I said, no more questions," he snarled. The tom whipped around and led you through the forest, covered in multiple, many plants. You tried to keep up as he expertly led you through the forest, ducking and jumping over them. You entered a sort of flat area, with a bit less plant life. Smelling cats, you slightly unsheathed your claws and felt your fur bristling. Cats came out of their hiding spots. At least they looked like hiding spots, and stared curiously at you. You began to relax. "Umm... where are we?" You asked dumbly. The cats stared to snicker at you, while the tom that had led you towards this place narrowed his eyes at you. A large, battle scarred she-cat emerged, waving her tail as the cats stopped mocking you. "A newcomer, " she said simply. "We don't get many of those, you see, so we'd gladly welcome you into our clan," stopping in front of you, you started to wonder. These cat's aren't the friendliest... but at least I'd be able to survive. "You've survived, which is remarkable. But it states that you're a survivor, and you'll fit right in." The she-cat narrowed her eyes. "However, no one can force you to join, so this decision is up to you."

Hello? You caught me with the territory. I honestly love rainforest, as odd as that sounds. So, I'm here to help.

There's a specific forum these kind of planning pages now go in cx Maybe that's why it took so long to get a reply? It's actually a pretty neat idea!

frozenthorn: That's great! So, what do you want start with? You can add in on the history if you want... because I still feel like it's a bit short. Cas: seriously? Which forum does it belong in? Dolce: wow, seriously? you know, you should really see Mount Rainier like, up close. It's just so... majestic. Anyhow, the Hoh Rainforest isn't exactly THAT popular, but it's still very beautiful c:

Yeah, I can work on the history. Is it in the paragraph in the first post? Do you want it more like a short telling of what happened or a story?

Post by Deleted on Aug 9, 2016 20:43:01 GMT -5
Cas: Thanks! I really need to get used to the fact that I can't change the forums. :\ At least I can't or don't know how to frozenthorn: I actually want it pretty long, so more of what happened/story. You can make the whole story again if you want to, but just keep these things: The lahar, Mount Rainier, things the twolegs did to them, the fact that they were all kittypets, and the Hoh Rainforest (obviously)

Okay. That sounds good. ^^ I'm thinking of it will be told from the point of view of one of the kittypets?

frozenthorn: Oh! That'd be great! Well, if possible, could you do it from the creator's point of view? I still haven't decided on the name, so you can just put this blank line so I can later fill it in. Redawn: wow. A lot of helpers, comparing to how many I usually have. Anyways, you can start wherever you want! Probably the clan name XD I still don't know what it should be. Dolce: lol cx so your entire family lives there? You should really take some photos then. but ur choice it's the best way you can help without you having to do really any brainstorming whale watching?! That sounds really neat! c:

Do you have a preference to the creator's gender or looks? Do you want the history told in first person? Sorry for the questions. I would just hate to type it up then have you hate it.

Post by Deleted on Aug 10, 2016 14:40:58 GMT -5
umm... for gender, put blanks too. looks, I don't really mind. I can change it afterwards. And for first person... nah. Third.
Questions are perfectly fine c: It'd be a waste of time to type up something pretty much useless.

thx. c: btw, also, I was thinking that this clan would be one with powers. Although StarClan gave them it once they became warriors, and everyone's was different, but they can be similar.

About (These sorta look like Traditions... but I can change it later anyways ^^)
Apprentices -- After apprentice's take their warrior assessment, they are taken to the ____ to get stronger and wiser. However, they also go there for another special reason; receiving their power. After that apprentice was born, StarClan (or whatever the 'StarClan' will be) watches them, later deciding on the power which will be given to them whether it's telepathy or ice powers. Not a single cat every had the same exact power, although many are very similar. The Leader -- The leader of LichenClan like other clans, are given nine lives. But, just like apprentice's after their powers ceremony, leaders also then receive their power. The leader is responsible for leading all border patrols along with a few senior warriors.Meanwhile, the healer does the hunting patrols unless if otherwise busy, a other senior warriors will take the healer's place. Their ancestors --Also known as ____Clan, these cats are spirits whom where once cats of LichenClan. They give apprentice's their warrior cat name and their power, while doing the same to the leader; with an extra nine lives. ____Clan watches over each cat from LichenClan, also presenting them prophecies that they must solve. The Healer -- This cat is responsible for treating all sick cats, and they also interact with ___Clan every half moon at the _____. He or she usually takes the place of the leader, because of their wisdom and knowledge of their ancestors. Because they take the place of the leader after their death or retirement, this cat doesn't always heal. He or she still hunts and patrols the forest for dangers just like any other warrior would. However, this cat usually doesn't receive it's power until their leader's death.
LichenClan's cats are usually more hostile, due to the amount of twolegs coming to the rain forest annually, along with the competition and the threats between other animals such as bobcats and cougars. These cats are thin and agile, due to the lack of prey, other animals, and the plants growing along the forest floor. LichenClan's cat's 'camp' isn't exactly a camp, although their biggest one is where the leader, healer, and queens and kits live. Warriors visit the main camp oftenly for battle patrols and hunting patrols. Apprentice's train around this camp too. These cat's camps are near areas with streams or waterfalls. Even though water isn't a very urgent resource in this rain forest, it is still very valuable.

Powers should good. maybe they should match the cat's personality or skills. Like a fiery cat can get fire powers or a hunter can get the power to camouflage. Or we can do the opposite and make it the opposite of the cat(when they are an apprentice). Like a fiery cat can get the power of water or something delicate so they can learn to control and be well balanced.
I swear that history is almost done. ^^'

Question, just came up with this. What if the creator dies in the lahars then is brought back by something like Starclan(maybe with 8 lives since they already lost one) and maybe a power? Then the creator is told to follow something(Maybe a star?) and it will bring them to a safe haven. of course, that is suppose to be the rainforest, but they find the twoleg place near the forest and think that is what the star cats meant. After the chocolate and mean twolegs, they eventually figure out it was the rainforest. After seeing their suffering and seeing how little cats they have, we can say the StarClan-like cats gave them powers to insure survival.

sort of like Wind Runner in MV? That's actually a pretty neat idea! c:

S/He watched as the thick waves pounded the walls. Her/His eyes were wide as they watched the twoleg place was consumed. Cats, dogs, and even twolegs were no match and quickly sank into the dark water. S/He clung on to the thin, stone-like shards on top of the twoleg den and prayed to someone to save them. A large crack echoed and the house swayed before the whole thing collapsed. S/He was dragged away before s/he could even squeak. The water, filled with ash and dirt, filled her/his mouth and nose. It didn't take long before s/he felt the darkness close in.
There was a shining light. Then, whispers reached her/his ear. They told her/him about a safe home. It was be something to replace what s/he had lost. They said they were granting her/him lives. These lives were for her/him to guide others with and to protect so s/he wouldn't have to loose another home. The pain came eight times, each different but none the less painful. As s/he were given these lives, s/he wondered if this was a curse rather than a blessing. Then s/he remembered the whispers' promise, a home. S/he could be warm and happy again. S/he suddenly felt energized.
S/He blinked her/his eyes open. Her/His fur was covered in a thick, dry clay and the air was thick, but s/he was breathing. S/He laughed. It seemed crazy. The voices must have been real though. There was no way s/he could have lived if there wasn't some help. S/He looked to the stars to see one fall and disappear. _____ stood up and started toward the direction the star had fallen. S/He did encounter other like her/him, lost and without a home. By just being near her/him and hearing about the new home, the others seemed to get energy and that spark in their eyes. Some had been from the same place, others were from similar situations, and few just were loners ready for a home.
The trip was long. It took at least two moons for the group to make it even close to the location. _____ always clung back to the tired and injured cats as his/her presence seemed to give them strength. When they arrived, it wasn't the towering trees or the cool shadows of the rainforest that interested them. It was the twolegs place not far from the forest. The tom/she-cat tried to keep the group together, but the group slowly separated, believing the twoleg place was where they were suppose to be.
The twoleg place was not where they were suppose to be. Most of the twolegs ignored the cats' cries and the ribs sticking painfully out from under their fur. The few twolegs that paid attention rewarded them with a sharp kick or a quick pat. It was nothing like the cats had hoped. The twoleg kits were kind. They gave the cats food, but the cats discovered that the twoleg kits had been poisoning their families and friends. Just days after eating the food, their kin and friends died. They thoughtlessly took revenge on the kits and anything twoleg that came near their claws. The twolegs fought back however and it was usually overpowered the cats. It was a moon of blood.
The few that were left eventually found each other. Their previous leader was no where to be seen. With no hope, they made their way out of the twoleg place. Anywhere would be better. They soon found the leader at the edge of the rainforest. S/he had gone into the rainforest to seek peace and found the safety and prey s/he had been looking for.
The cats soon settled into the rainforest and started to make it home. It was hard. The dense forest hid many dangerous animals and sickness spread easily in the damp environment. The future was looking dark again. The cats once again looked to their leader. S/He felt at a loss. The whispers had not come to her/him since the day he was brought back. The she-cat/tom also knew s/he only had a few lives left. Again, s/he asked them to help.
They responded. In the night, the cats all woke up to a blinding light. They crawled out of their dens to find one silver, translucent cat standing in the middle of the camp. The cat had stars in their fur. The cat said nothing. They lead them through the forest to (description of StarClan place). The cats had not seen anything like it. They watched at the cat touched noses with (The StarClan place) and disappeared. The leader was the first to try. S/He touched noses with (something). A few seconds later, they woke up and encouraged the others to follow. Once the did, each found their friends or family they had lost in the flood, on the trip, and from the twoleg place. After sharing tongues with their kin, each woke up with unique powers.
After that, the clan flourished and has grown into this.
haha that only took forever. I'm not sure if it is that good, but it can be changed.
