TunnelClan Planning Page

And that idea works for me. Maybe it's near the base of the mountain on the far side of camp, and it takes a bit of tunneling through some fallen dirt to reach.

Yep, sounds good.

Characterwise, do you want to have a high rank? I'm tempted to keep Skystar, leader or not. Skystorm would be a fine name for her if she was just a warrior.

Ok. And most definitely. Do you have a name for the character you want as medicine cat?

Slipstream

If you want to, I don't need it immediately. I was just saving Skystar's form, she was the only one I had finished.

Ok, that works for me.

Back.

I'm really sorry but I have to go for a while, but when I come back I'll read through them and give my opinion.

I'm back, and because the forums are going to go down soon, I decided to copy and paste the intro here.

Pain shoots through the back of your skull, and you give a little whimper, curling into a tighter ball and squeezing your eyes closed even further. Very little is coming back to you as you struggle to remember where you are and how you got here. Even your own identity is missing from the cavernous thing that you call your brain.
After several minutes of lying on your side, the throbbing in your head begins to subside, and you decide that maybe it is safe to open your eyes. One at a time, you peel open your eyelids, wanting to see what is happening around you.
You are greeted by black.
Panic shoots through your entire body, and you lurch to your paws, giving a distraught cry. Why can't you see anything? You frantically turn in a circle, feeling your whiskers brush something cool and damp. Slowly you begin to take in everything that you can feel without your eyes, and you start to count off the things you register to try and calm yourself.
It smells cold and damp, very earthy, like you are somewhere below the surface, like a cave. In the distance, you can hear a growling sound, but it isn't animal. Scent tells you that it is, in fact, water of some sort. You can't tell much other then that at the moment. Your whiskers are brushing the wall on one side, and you take a few strides away from it before bumping into the other wall gently. It's not small, where you are, though it isn't large either. Your paws on the ground tells you that the terrain about you is rocky and slightly wet, though there are patches of softer stuff that might be dirt.
You perk your ears, hearing a different sound now. A faint echoing, tapping methodically. Pawsteps, probably. Suddenly even more on edge than before, you crouch down, teeth bared, a small, pathetic growl rising in the back of your throat.
"Easy, newcomer," a voice rumbles, coming from the direction that you heard the pawsteps from, "I'd prefer that you didn't attack me when all I am here to do is offer help."
Confused, you let your lips drop back over your fangs, and look around for the source of the noise before remembering that you cannot see.
"You can't see me right now," the voice offers, "Just follow my voice for a few pawsteps, and you'll feel a faint breeze coming from another tunnel. Go that way."
Uncertain about what this stranger wants, but knowing that you don't have much other choice, you follow the cat's directions, following the breeze towards its source. After walking for a few moments, a dripping becomes apparent, and you wrinkle your nose as a droplet of water lands on it.
A few more paces in, and there's a sudden faint light, not enough for colors to really emerge, but enough for you to understand something: You are totally encased in this space. You are underground.
"My name is Skystar, newcomer, come a little closer, and you'll see me," the voice prompts, and you comply, eyes widening as you come into view. Skystar, whatever type of name that is, is a very light in color she-cat, though you still can't really see anything else. "I know that you're confused and scared, newcomer, but you need to focus," she mews, and you look at her, unnerved at the seriousness in her tone.
"You have made your way into our tunnel system without wanting to, just as everyone else here has," she explains, "You probably fell in back there somewhere, and dragged yourself around before passing out. My cats would have reported a survivor from the rapids." She turns her serious eyes to you, and says sharply, "We are trapped down here, newcomer, there is no kinder way to put it. Your vision will soon adjust, and your hearing will sharpen with time. You'll remember a bit, hopefully, I've never encountered someone with full amnesia from hitting their head. Broken bones, I've seen, but broken minds? Not so much." Her lips curve into a haunting grin, as she adds, "It's the dark that will do that."
"Come with me, and we will get you what medical help we can," she mews, standing up, and flicking her tail towards the tunnel that stretches into darkness behind her, "and I will introduce you to the other fallen. We have banded together to try to survive, newcomer, and I pray that you are not here to ruin that pact."
She turns and disappears into the darkness, the last that you see of her being the tip of her thick tail as it flicks to the left and then vanishes into the shadows.

Maybe we could make it so that multiple cats find the cat in the intro?

Do you want Slipstream to be one of the cats that 'finds' the newcomer? I'd assume that Birdswoop would have found them first, and then bolted to camp to fetch someone that can heal them and the leader to act as a sort of ambassador.

Perfect. What is her voice like? Is she a past kittypet, loner, or rogue? What colors is she?
