Post for a unique Clan

𝕊’𝕞𝕠𝕣𝕖

IcicleClan's territory is not what one would expect from their name. Ice, snow and cold are three things most IcicleClan cats have never seen before, as they reside on a large tropical island. The island itself is your average tropical island, filled with trees and heavy undergrowth near the north side. The sides don't slope to the ocean, but rise on high cliffs. The Clan's camp is located safely in the sides of the western cliff: tunnels are carved out of the stone by an underground freshwater spring pool, around which the Clan bases most of its camp. The water trickles down tunnels to the edge of the cliff, spilling down in a series of small waterfalls. A few tunnels lead further down, but are covered with water except in low tides, when a sandy beach opens up beneath the tunnels. It's a wonderful place to rest and sun, but the tunnels that are usually underwater are often slippery and sharp.

IcicleClan gains their name from a unique stalagmite. Over the top of the spring's cavern this stalagmite hangs, always dripping water onto the calm surface of the pool from the moisture like an icicle dripping in spring.

The cats of IcicleClan often love climbing and swimming as well as keeping to their cavern home. Coconuts are collected and used for games and decoration, as well as meticulously cleaned to be used as containers for herbs, pastes, and dyes. Since there is little outside interference, few predators and no harsh winters with plenty of prey, creativity and beauty is highly valued as strength, while important, is not as necessary to survival. The Clan avoids the northern side of the island. With thick vegetation and tales of strange predators lurking within, there is little to gain from venturing there. The center and south half of the island is more than enough to sustain them.

Me please ^^ =D

ivythorn it's fun !!

GhostClan. Even their name is intimidating. GhostClan inhabits a small portion of land, much smaller than it would seem to be needed to support their size. Most of their resources don't come from their territory, however, but as tribute from the others around them. You see, GhostClan cats very rarely live in their own camp. They're mercenaries, and others pay for their claws in battle or just their presence to dissuade others from going where they don't belong. Usually that means the cats of GhostClan are staying outside their borders at their posts. For the most part, their clients provide food and shelter while they're on the job, and the rest of the Clan still in GhostClan territory is fed with prey other cats pay as tribute or tax. Only the queens, elders, and enough cats to guard the hollow they call home are in the camp.

Because of their odd way of life, GhostClan has different ranks than a normal Clan would. At least one medicine cat is required to be fully trained at all times, but many others decide to learn the ways of a healer. A leader and deputy are responsible for the administration of the Clan. "Warrior" is a general rank for any adult cat that is fully trained and actively running missions, however many go by their specialized professions. Assassins are those that take jobs to kill, there are few of these cats and are sometimes looked down upon for killing of any sort is dishonorable and primitive. Scouts are cats who don't often take assignments, but instead wander a large area around the territory collecting information and doing odd jobs. Ghosts are the most versatile, and is the title given to any cat that regularly takes assignments. They can be guards, bodyguards, or just another set of claws in a fight. The title comes from GhostClan's name, and outsiders call most of the GhostClan cats "Ghosts" or sometimes "Shadows". Most cats don't only have one specialty, and all are fully trained in combat, hunting and diplomacy.

GhostClan cats are feared by outsiders, and for good reason. They are said to be the best fighters in the world. They are faster and stronger than any cat, rumored to be able to fly and disappear into shadows. Some say their fangs contain venom and only one bite can kill, like a snake. Anyone would think twice before getting into a fight with GhostClan mercenaries on the other side, or trespassing in an area guarded by a GhostClan warrior. But even as feared as they are, GhostClan is also very honorable. No GhostClan cat would ever think about breaking their word or a contract without very good reason to. And while they'll fight, GhostClan cats never go for the kill.

LeafClan is a small group of cats who care more about peace than they do about fighting. They've only recently broken off from the bigger and more powerful OakClan when a portion of the Clan refused to follow Ashstar into another pointless battle with their rivals in MarshClan. Instead of backing the battle patrol, Jadeleaf and his supporters only watched as the OakClan warriors were pushed back into their territory, hardly hurt, but humiliated by their clanmates' obvious protest of the battle. Ashstar, in his anger, commanded the rebels to be driven away, but none of the LeafClan cats resisted as they were lead off the territory into the world beyond borders. They were met by a few queens and even the medicine cat who worked hard to sneak any cat who wanted to go away from Ashstar's rage and into Jadeleaf's protection.

They haven't yet decided on a home. With few cats to care for, perhaps only a dozen, they make a slow march east, staying around in places that have easy prey. They're a loose Clan structure, with Jadeleaf, Fadedwing (the medicine cat) and Sandheart (their top fighter/hunter) holding what little authority there is. The group holds votes on large decisions and over their journey have taken in a few loners into their midst.

I love my clan so much!
May I use Marsh and Oak clan along with Ashstar in future rps/stories? =D

sure they're 100% yours to do what you want with

Thank you so much. I'm very excited.
Would it be possible to get a little more info on Oak and Marsh clan.

I honestly have so many ideas for these guys =D

This sounds fun ^~^

sure, have all the deets

OakClan is a clan that --you guessed it-- lives in a primarily oak forest. Their camp is in a dependable hollow, much like ShadowClan's lake home. They are the oldest Clan in the forest and often feel they have rights to anything in the forest, even places outside their official borders. Because of this, they often get into conflicts with MarshClan and other cats for their resources. This has only gotten worse under Ashstar's lead, as the young tom feels OakClan should expand its borders to cover the entire forest area instead of what land they have now. Traditionally, OakClan apprentices train for exactly eleven and a half moons, starting on the full moon and ending on the new moon. The half moon after their training is over, they are required to survive alone outside of the Clan for a complete half moon, only allowed to return once the moon has grown. The apprentice learns new skills and about the outside world, growing as the moon does until they come home, both the moon and the apprentice full with new knowledge and ready to take on the responsibilities of a warrior.



MarshClan also lives up to it's name, occupying a forest very thick in undergrowth with a marshy, boggy ground. Their camp is encased by the fronds of a low spreading willow. A small creek runs through the center, passing by the main bole of the tree. Its roots protect the dens and the cats within. MarshClan is know for their carefree natures and taking the time to learn and understand things around them. They're relatively new as a Clan: Talonstar, their leader, being only the third leader. His predecessor, Finchstar was the daughter of the tom who created MarshClan, Ripplestar. Talonstar is more aggressive and outgoing than either of the other leaders and wishes to prove his Clan's strength and rights to the forest using force, unlike previous MarshClan leaders who often backed off from conflict to solve problems peacefully.

Because it's relatively new, MarshClan is still taking in local rogues, loners and even kittypets to join their ranks. They are quite open to the outside world and are on good terms with many cats outside their borders. However, this idea is beginning to shift to a more traditional viewpoint starting when Talonstar began to lead.
