☸ ShoreClan: One With the TidesA long while ago, ShoreClan and MoorClan were once together as one—CrestClan. The territory was an abundance of trees and many sources of water. There was the crescent-shaped lake that gave them their name, as well as a sunlit glade and the moon pond where they spoke to their former ancestors in StarClan. When a massive storm hit, it was the end of CrestClan's home. The trees were struck down by lightning left and right and burning through even the hard rain but most importantly, the lake was flooding over. The camp for these cats was a dried out, once powerful river. Both ends were blocked up by sand and rocks left presumably by twolegs, but the barricades only helped it fill with water and could not stop the flood of the lake from crashing through.
Those who survived the night would emerge from their makeshift shelters—soggy and exhausted—and try to reunite with their separated friends and loved ones. Two siblings, hairless cats named Rosebelly and Silverspring, would meet-up without an inkling as to where their fluffy-furred, adopted sister Downytuft could be. That was until they stumbled upon her while sloshing through the mud the expanse of the forest floor was covered in, stuck in the dirt and buried under ash and broken branches, while they had been searching for her and the rest of their clanmates. Downytuft had always been sickly and was lucky enough to become a warrior, but a storm like this was one the weak she-cat could not endure. The ground was too sticky to dig through and they had to leave her there in her death.
Eventually, the remaining CrestClan cats gathered at the blackened, tallest tower of a tree in the territory—weary, defeated and missing quite a few among their ranks. Many had watched their clanmates drown or found them crushed by fallen trees in the morning. Their deputy, Parsnipnose, was particularly anxiety ridden—as was his personality to panic under pressure, and their elderly leader Hollowstar was nowhere to be found.
Collectively, they decided this disasterous storm had to be StarClan being angry with them and had sent it as a divine punishment. Their following of StarClan ended that day out of spite, as what bad had they done to deserve something as unfair as this?
With Parsnipnose out of commission and everyone close to giving up, Rosebelly and Silverspring took it upon themselves to give a speech and raise their spirits. The remaining cats followed them through the wreckage to use the lives they still had to continue living.
They began their search for a new place to call home. Several weeks had passed of licking their wounds, mourning, sending out makeshift hunts and sleeping under anything they could find before they emerged upon a coast. It was appalling that their long journey had come to a dead-end, but some became used to the idea of stopping here while others spat at being near the sea. Water is what ruined everything in the first place.
Two cats with opposing opinions had been the leaders of the journey, Rosebelly and Silverspring. The latter believed the flood was a message that they needed to become stronger and wanted to dedicate the clan to survive water and live on this coast by the sea. Rosebelly disagreed with her brother Silverspring, wanting to change their direction to the side and keep going until they bring everyone to a more familiar environment.
Ultimately, the clan split into those wanting to find elsewhere—MoorClan—and those who wanted to finally settle down here at ShoreClan. With unease, the brother and sister had to part ways with their groups. A family of three was now torn apart by a storm and differences.

☸ Customs◈ StarClan and the Dark Forest do not exist here. The spirits of our fallen clan mates become the mist that is often found on the water and wafting through the trees. Tidecallers and Mistwatchers can sometimes talk to these cats in their dreams when the barrier between the two worlds is thinnest. The spirits of our ancestors are powerful and refuse to be ignored. They can manifest as glowing balls of light or wisps to try and lead or communicate with the living and the more malicious of the spirits may try to trick and mislead others, causing them harm or even death.
◈ ShoreClan believes that the riptides and undercurrents around the gulf are the result of a large, multi-headed beast that lurks in the depths. Each undercurrent and whirlpool is one of its many heads looking for a victim to pull underneath the sea to be devoured. When this happens, the clan sees it as a bad omen sent from the angered beast. If a cat survives being pulled down by the undertow and makes it home alive, many believe they are cursed or marked for certain death though others see it as a blessing because they were spared.
◈ When members of ShoreClan pass on, their body is brought back to camp to be mourned by the whole clan. Their closest friends and family will spend their night weaving a thin raft next to their friend and, before dawn rises, they will place the body on the raft. Then, they swim with the raft towards the Misty Isle and set the raft adrift at sea. It is believed that doing so will make it easier for the fallen cat to merge with the sea and the mist and join the other ancestors.
◈ While our clan does revolve around the gulf and the water, sometimes there are cats that dont feel the same connect to the water as others. When these cats are born they are not abandoned or shunned. While the clan will not shun these warriors, many of them will not understand their aversion and it may cause a disconnect between clan mates. Cats that have a horrible fear of water, are completely water-replused, or have a medical reason that keeps them from swimming well become a type of warrior called a DryClaw. Their main duties involve hunting on land and patrol the landlocked parts of the territory only. Of course when there is a DryClaw apprentice, the Trials need to be tailored for said apprentice to keep them out of the water but a good leader can handle this with ease.
◈ Instead of apprentice evaluations, ShoreClan has three distinctly different tests to be passed called the Trials. There is the Body Trial, the Mind Trial, and the Heart Trial. They can be taken at any time towards the end of an apprenticeship (typically spaced out over the last few moons) and all three must be passed to the mentor's satisfaction. If any of the trials are failed, the ceremony will be delayed and apprentice will have to start the failed Trial over. .........The Body Trial: This is a basic test of hunting, tracking, fighting, and survival skills necessary for the life of an ShoreClan warrior. Any warrior other than the apprentices mentor can judge this trial and they can conduct it however they see fit. .........The Mind Trial: This test tests the critical thinking skills of the apprentices and tests them under pressure. They are given a time limit and are let loose into the territory. Beforehand, warriors would hide very specific shells all along the territory for the apprentices to hunt for. Along the way, select chosen clan mates will attack the apprentices or try to steal the shells away from them. They are given from dawn until sun-high and must collect as many as possible using whatever means necessary, short of seriously injuring or killing another cat. .........The Heart Trial: This is a test of courage and dedication. The apprentices are to swim to the Misty Isle and spend the night alone to fend for themselves. The goal is to receive a message or a dream from the spirits, any sign at all to tell them they have been accepted by those who came before them. While it seems like a simple challenge, they must survive the sea, the horrible hungry mouths of the sea beast, and those spirits that would do them harm. Not receiving a sign or returning to camp before the next dawn is considered a failure and the trial must be retaken.
◈ While not necessarily a custom, ShoreClan has adapted to their new territory with special skills. They are more suited to traverse wet and rough terrain than their MoorClan neighbors and are more resistant to the cold. They are adept climbers and excel at navigating. They have learned how to dig up shellfish from the shores and crack them open on the rocks. ShoreClan has great skill with diving, fishing, and swimming, being able to swim with their eyes open and hold their breath for a long time. Strong and agile on land and sea, they are truly a force to be reckoned with!

☸ Seasons and WeatherSeason:Leaf-Bare, Beginning Weather: Chilly and cloudy Next Gathering: -- Next Mistwatcher Meeting: --
☸ News[/b]Suspecting that someone has been sneaking into ShoreClan’s hunting grounds, Fallentide lead a patrol (Ciritnecoat, Duskpepper, Jasminepaw, and Crabpaw) to go check the fence near the Thunderpath. Crabpaw and Duskpepper found fresh evidence of outsiders hunting on the territory. Citrinecoat also claims that he found traces of MoorClan crossing the border, though Jasminepaw’s demeanor suggested otherwise. Duskpepper didn't believe the other tom and went back to check later, only to find a recently lost kittypet named Lucy. Back at camp, while Kelpwhisker was chatting with Rayhunt, her kittens were playing near the shallows. Sharkkit was kept entertained by the storytelling prowess of Riversong while Stormfeather and Gobyswim attempted to help Battkit get over his fear of the water. Unfortunately, he was pulled under an almost drowned, traumatizing him further and getting both young cats on Kelpwhisker’s bad side. ◈ -/-/--: Info. ◈ -/-/--: Info. ◈ -/-/--: Info. ◈ -/-/--: Info. ◈ -/-/--: Info.[/div] [/ul][/i][/sub][/div][/div][/div]

☸ Territory◈ Over the entrance to the camp there is a sprawling, lush Pine Forest that overtakes most of the rocky terrain from the Thunderpath to the peak of the cliffs. It is so dense that there is very little light on the forest floor. There is a very large tree with overgrown roots. One of the camps emergency tunnels comes out under the tree roots. Most of the land hunting is done in this forest but it also holds a lot of predators.
◈ On the farthest western corner of the coast, there are incredibly tall Cliffs. They are very dangerous because it is easy to slip over the side but its also a beautiful place to watch the water. Sometimes warriors come out to the Cliffs and use them as a lookout to look for incoming storms and other dangers.
◈ Away from the much bigger, two-leg filled beach, there is a smaller strip of rocky gray-white Beach. A few paw-paddles away from the camp entrance, it is an easy place for young apprentices to swim to for practice before they become strong swimmers. It is also used as a popular place to practice sparring.
◈ The Gulf is an expanse of dark blue-gray water that hugs the curves of the rocky shores and goes outward to the horizon. It is spotted with stone out croppings and human boats or whales can sometimes be seen in the deeper water. It is believed that a great, multi-headed beast lives at the bottom of the sea and controls the tides. It sometimes pulls cats underwater never too be seen again.
◈ The Misty Isle is a lone, small island a long swim off the sandy coast. It is densely packed with trees that keeps out all light. Large rocks enclose the island as if warnings others not to close their boundary. In the center of the veil of pine trees there is a large, flat, circular stone. This is the best place to try and talk to the ancestors but it is also the place you are most vulnerable to the less kind spirits.
◈ On the far end of the crescent-shaped coast, there is a large beach with rough gray-white sand that is often visited by humans during the day. There is a small shack like building that usually smells like greasy food. The whole beach is encased in fencing to block the humans from wandering into the forest or up to the cliffs. This fence also encloses the place they leave their monsters and the Thunderpath that leads away from the beach and separates BlankClan and MoorClan. There is an abandoned dock on the farthest end of the beach where the two clans meets once a moon that is simply called the Dock.
☸ Camp◈ Once you swim through the underwater tunnel and emerge from the water, the camp is clearly visible and lit by the light from the water and the small skylight holes in the ceiling of the cavern. Moving from the Shallows where kits and apprentices first get their paws wet, the Fresh-Kill pile is nestled safely between a group of stalagmites. On the floor of camp there are three dens. Towards the underwater tunnel and hidden under a cliff there is the Warrior Den. Opposite of the Warrior Den, the Elder Den is safely tucked under the cliff that holds the Apprentice Den and surrounded by moss-covered stalagmites. Under the overhang that houses the Tidecaller Den, there is a secluded den covered by vines and moss that keeps it warm and dark. This is the Nursery. Above the Tidecaller Den, there is a small cliff that is very crowded by stalagmites and rocks. There is a narrow Tunnel that is used to go land hunting. It splits into two smaller tunnels, one that leads to the big pine tree in the Forest and one that leads to the fence by the Thunderpath. Lastly, the Mistwatcher Den is a huge hollow log that was washed up long ago.

☸ AllegiancesTidecaller: Fallentide | Tom | 38 Moons -- Fallentide is a large, muscular tom with a barrel chest. His sleek pelt is gray and spotted with white paws and a white undercarriage. He has a scar over his short muzzle and one across his shoulders. His sharp amber eyes are always focused. Fallentide has high standards for himself and others and while it might make him seem pushy and hard to please, he only wants the best for his clan. Fallentide is a bit awkward when it comes to comforting others and isn't particularly eloquent. He shows his feelings more with actions than words and isn't above hard work and getting his paws dirty. (xfogpathx) Wavecatcher: Mousepath | Tom | 38 moons -- Mousepath fits his name surprisingly well. He's quite small in stature, being the smallest out of his two other littermates, and it was surprising that he was the one who ended up being the strongest and healthiest. He has thick, soft pale grey fur that makes him look bigger than he actually is, if he was shaved (Spirits forbid), he'd look more like a six moon old apprentice in his size. He has a dark grey mask over his eyes, and dark grey ears, paws, and tailtip. His eyes are a pale green color that is flecked with gold. Few scars scatter the toms body, the only one that is prominent is his left ear is shredded at the top, the result of a battle training session gone horribly wrong. Mousepath is a typically quiet tom, one who thinks its better to use reason than force, one who thinks before he acts. He's a decent fighter, although he tries everything else before he resorts to using his claws. (sweetclover1) Mistwatcher: Rainrunner | She-Cat | 36 Moons -- Rainrunner is a dilute calico she-cat with pale green eyes and short, thick fur. Her pelt is mostly white with patches of soft ginger and gray-blue, ending in a long tail. She is missing her left eye, clawed out in a scuffle with a fox. The incident also left her with several gashes on her forelegs and chest (but most are now covered with new fur) and a battered left ear. Following the loss of her eye, the apprentice decided to rethink her future as a warrior and instead chose to become an apprentice to the Mistwatcher. Rainrunner is calm and collected, willing to listen to anyone who needs to get something off their chest. She looks forward to serving her Clan as best as possible during her time as their Mistwatcher. (Hawkeye) Mistwatcher Apprentice: Foampaw | Male | 10 Moons -- Foampaw is a dark umber tabby tom, with lighter dusty grey stripes. He has white paw tips and a white muzzle, with deep hazel eyes. His fur is medium to short, but has a feather like tail, lynx like ear tips and a medium sized lion's like main. Foampaw can be energetic at times, but he can also be calm and mature in times of need. He has a cheerful and caring spirit, he believes in doing the right thing and to follow your heart; he gets it from his sister. He is very kind and compassionate with a little humor thrown in. (Milk tea)
Senior Warriors: Slyfoot | Tom | 61 Moons -- Slyfoot is a long-bodied, thin tom with ruddy ginger fur. He has faint tabby stripes that blend into his pelt. He has a nasty looking scar of teeth marks on his hind leg. He always changes the story of how he got it. His ears are heavily notched and he has long whiskers. His eyes are a deep golden color. Slyfoot is a cunning tom who values self-preservation over honor. He would rather run away than lose and tends to lie a lot, especially to save his own skin. He is friendly and often teases a lot but fears trusting others too much. (xfogpathx) Warriors: Citrinecoat | Tom | 53 Moons -- Citrinecoat is a well-built and long-haired black and brown tom-cat tinged with a honey color that appears gold. There is an orange splotch on the side of his face between his hazel right eye and ear. His two front paws are white and he has a couple black toes found on all four of his paws. His long, half-white plumy tail completes his shaggy-look. Citrinecoat is a brawler who will take on anyone who challenges him to a spar. It takes a lot of restraint not to give his clanmates a brutal beatdown in the process, but he won't hold back against an enemy. Most of the time he shows an admirable, calm and collected attitude, but can become hot-headed in an instant and doesn't treat she-cats very fairly. (Darknesque) Doveflight | She-Cat | 39 Moons -- Doveflight has a gray-siamese cat pattern. She is missing her left eye, so her remaining right one is a lovely, warm amber. Her left ear of almost completely torn off, leaving a little less than half remaining. Her left facial maims are thanks to a fishercat attack when she was a senior apprentice. Although Doveflight has a rather intimidating demeanor, she is a loving mother with a heart of gold. She could put her life at risk for her kits and her Clan anyday. She also isn't exactly partial to water, despite growing up with it. (ѕωєєтвєє) Coralfox | She-Cat | 45 Moons Coralfox is a lean and long-bodied she-cat with plain white fur and a long muzzle. She has many distinct pink features such as her large, sheer ears, nose and paw pads; the most outstanding being her flanks and hind legs. Almost being struck by lightning as an apprentice singed away her fur and left her skin puckered—only some white patches grew back. She has round, pale-green eyes that take up most of her narrow face and is also fairly hard of hearing in each ear after the near-death experience. Enough motivation from her peers pushed Coralfox to be resourceful and do the most with the life she is still able to live. However, she never thought it would involve having a son, so now she pressures Crabpaw to be worthy and the best he can be. (Darknesque) Riversong | Tom | 34 Moons -- Riversong is a tall, lean, well-muscled tomcat with long legs. He has short, sleek fur that ripples as he moves. Riversong’s pelt is a dark, almost black, blue-grey with thin stripes that faintly run through it. He has narrow, stormy blue eyes that always seem uninterested. He has tufted ears and a scar running from his chin down to his underbelly. Riversong is not a very pleasant tom, usually cold and harsh. He is strict when training apprentices, but has a soft spot for kits (though he would never admit to it). He is sometimes oblivious to his own meanness, but he’s an intelligent tom who wants nothing but to serve his clan. (stormynight) Citruspetal | She-Cat | 34 Moons -- This she cat has soft, pearl white fluffy fur. she has a pale ginger face which get's darker along her nose, she has two darker brown vertical lines along her forehead. Her ears, tail and paws are all like this but slightly fade into her glowing white fur. Citruspetal's fur sticks out in a way that give her a glowing appearance, she has bright yellow eyes that grow greener towards the pupil. Just like this she cat's name she can be super sour, when she is not agitated and annoyed she is friendly and energetic. She isn't afraid to speak her mind, but does so with a thoughtful manner. Although she is firm and somewhat lenient, but never makes fast or rash decisions. (Milk tea) Rayhunt | Tom | 31 Moons -- Rayhunt is a dark reddish brown Tom with dark tabby markings. He has black ear tips and paws and dark amber eyes.|| Rayhunt seems like a steady, kind tom. He's kind to everyone, and always there if you need a shoulder to cry on. He's a huge flirt and thinks he's quite good at it. Still, he only ever loved his mate, but she died in childbirth along with his son. He now flirts and fights his days away. His parents were rogues, and he has a strange, charming accent to the cats of Shoreclan. He is an unscrupulous, angry cat that will do a lot to get what he wants. (Ivythorn) Azureblossom | She-Cat | 28 Moons -- Azureblossom is formally known as a Turkisk Angora, she has a dark umber coat with medium-long fur which is longer on her ruff, tail, and thighs; she also has white paw, and ear tips.

Her tail is straight, narrow, and well feathered, She has bright green eyes with blue flecks. Azureblosom is more of the shy one, she is content with just being by herself. Although she is shy she is kind-hearted and bright, and only ever has good intentions. She also believes that doing the right thing is of the up most importance regardless if it breaks the rules, Azureblossom is more insecure about herself and doesn't trust anyone with her feelings, she has high walls and it will take a lot for her to open up. Azureblosom has not let anyone in but maybe someday she will (Milk tea) Duskpepper | Tom | 27 Moons -- Duskpepper is a lithe and deceiving tom-cat with a long body, round paws, and a thin, pointed muzzle. His coat is gray with a white chest and throat, but there are black speckles scattered across his face and the rest of his pelt. Due to his thinner muzzle, his eyes are slanted and more-narrowed of a speckled-gray. He has abnormally long whiskers and a long, feathery tail with the end of each strand tipped in white. There is almost always a smile on Duskpepper's face that is unusually cheerful, but he has an aloof demeanor beneath; his merry nature is hollow with unknown intent. He is slow to feel pain but can keep a cat's mind at ease with his upbeat facade. (Darknesque) Falconflight | She-Cat | 26 Moons -- Falconflight is a dark gray-blue tabby she-cat with sleek fur and pale yellow eyes. She has a lithe and slim build ending in a white-tipped tail. Her muzzle and underbelly are a slightly lighter shade of gray, and her left front paw is white. She has a few tears on her right ear as well as a light scar across the bridge of her nose. She is relatively quiet, preferring to keep to herself or to cats she knows well. Falconflight is generally always up for patrols or hunting trips, as spending time lying around camp is not for her. When outside of camp, she comes out of her shell a bit more and feels more comfortable and sure of herself. (Hawkeye) Whaleheart | Tom | 26 Moons -- Whaleheart is a dark gray tom with a white chest, muzzle, and belly. He has amber eyes and a ripped left ear, as well as a stump tail (the result of an accident during his apprenticeship). He is a bit larger than his sister Falconflight, with a wide chest and large white paws. His fur is sleek and shiny, aside from a scar on his left hind leg. Whaleheart is friendly and loves to chat with anyone who will listen. He enjoys hunting, although his large size sometimes gives him away to prey a bit too soon. He also loves looking after kits and is always willing to babysit, hoping to have some of his own someday. (Hawkeye) Brinewhisker | She-Cat | 26 Moons -- Brinewhisker is a long legged she cat with sleek, silver fur that (in her opinion) is purrfect for swimming. She is a tabby, her markings making a marbled pattern throughout her pelt and these markings are a slightly darker grey color. Her paws and chest fur are white, along with her chin. She has friendly blue eyes, and her front paws each have six toes on them, making her a polydactyl. Brinewhisker is a rather friendly she cat, energetic and a complete extrovert. She lives off of the other cats in her clan and honestly can't be alone, even if its for a solo hunt. She actually needs to have someone with her, if there isn't she can't concentrate and her anxiety (which is usually nonexistent) sky rockets. She'd love to have kits one day, but its unknown on whether its because she actually wants to raise the next generation of warriors or if its because she doesn't; want to be alone. (Sweetclover1) Quitestream | She-Cat | 26 Moons -- Quitestream is a short-furred, blueish grey tabby she cat; with blueish green eyes. Her faded blue grey markings are faint except for the distinct M on her head, as well as the stripes on her legs and her tail. She has an angular face with wide, petite pointy ears; Her ear tips, cheek fur, elbow fur and tail fur are longer than everywhere else. On the outside as a defensive mechanisim, she can seem shy and passive, but in times of conflict she can be hot headed and cannot control her temper; but she is never the one to attack first. Otherwise she has a gentle and caring spirit towards her clanmates. She has a strong spiritual connection to water, having been born water front; it give her strength and confidence and she spend most of her time near water. (Milk tea) Silverfrost | Tom | 25 Moons -- Silverfrost is a pale silvery grey tom, with white speckles covering his back; along with white toes. He is the one built for strength and speed with the help from his long legs and tail, his is very graceful in both physical and body size. His body consists of medium-short, soft, sleek fur. Under his coat lay lean and well muscled limb, he has a more defined pointed face with huge round sky-blue eyes and a feather like tail, his chest fur curve at the tips making them stick out. At first he is a timid tom, but only around the laides. Once you get to know him, his confidence shows more. He is a little self centered and flirty at times, Although when it comes to his duties, he gets very passionate about his work and isn't afraid to stand up for his beliefs. (✦ Milk tea ✦ ) Gobyswim | She-Cat | 20 Moons -- Gobyswim is a is a she-cat with brown tabby markings and barring all over her dusty white pelt. She has sad blue eyes, and a petite, lithe build. She is a decent warrior for the clan. She is horrible at hunting, but a great hunter. She is very patient and loves fishing in the small pools when the tide comes out. She is extremely shy and hates talking to cats in her clan. She was clanborn, but her father left the clan, much to Gobyswims relief. She was never good enough for him. Because of her upbringing, she is scared of everything but can be taken advantage of if you make her feel safe. (Ivythorn) Stormfeather | She-Cat | 19 Moons -- Stormfeather is a slender, lithe she-cat with long legs, sturdy shoulders and a rather triangular shaped face. She has sleek, long fur with a rather feathery tail. Her pelt is a dark blue-grey with faint, darker tabby flecks. Her underbelly, toes and muzzle are a shade lighter than the rest of her.

She's an intelligent she-cat, but often acts on impulse and her own stubbornness.(stormynight) Senior Apprentices: Crabpaw | Tom | 14 Moons -- Crabpaw is a small, ruddy ginger tabby tom. His tabby stripes are very faint and blend into his pelt. He has white on his throat, undercarriage, legs, and muzzle. His legs are a bit on the short side and he hates it.

However, he is easily flustered and can come off as a know-it-all or a braggart. He wants a lot friends, but he isn't sure how to go about making them. (xxfogpathxx) Apprentices: Wrenpaw | She-Cat | 10 Moons -- Wrenpaw is a mostly white she-cat with several patches of pale gray tabby fur. She has blue eyes and a long, feathered tail.

Wrenpaw is competitive and always feels as though she has to prove herself to someone. She was raised in the Clan since kithood, having been found alone after her mother presumably passed away. Despite her outward brashness, she genuinely cares for those close to her. (Hawkeye) Otterpaw | Tom | 10 Moons -- Otterpaw is the same dark umber tabby, but with a lighter brown and cream marbled pattern. He is short furred with round features; his eyes are a haunting golden yellow; He has a average sized build with long lean muscles.

Prone to be bitter and irritated over little things, but does her best to appear sweet regardless. A good and understanding listener; always comments to seem interested and isn't afraid to give blunt advice. (Darknesque) Pikepaw | Tom | 9 Moons -- Pikepaw definitely looks more like Mousepaths son than a half brother. He's small, with soft, thick grey fur. He has darker paws and tail tip, just like Mousepath. He has quickly fading tabby markings, and friendly green eyes. Pikepaw is pretty energetic, unable to stay still most of the time. He's a bit desperate for attention sometimes, considering his parents are now out of the picture (Dead, Greencough outbreak), and his siblings are much more older than him. But he means well, and tries his best to listen to his clanmates and follow instructions, but he's not the best at impulse control so that doesn't actually happen as often as it should. (sweetclover1) Peachpaw | She-Cat | 8 Moons -- Peachpaw is a short-furred peach-siamese. The area around her face is a beige color, along with her paws and tail-tip. She is on the shorter side, but the powerful muscles in her legs make her a potentially phenomenal swimmer. Her eyes hold the ocean, being of a deep blue-green. She has a small sight impairment, but she doesn't allow that to stop her from reaching her full potential. Peachpaw can be very quiet around those she is unfamilar or uncomfortable with, and often has trouble with her words. She is always trying to become more sociable and friendly. She is always up for learning new things, wanting to become an intelligent, strong warrior one day. Her brother and best friend is Minkpaw. (ѕωєєтвєє) Minkpaw | Tom | 8 Moons -- Minkpaw is a dashing young tom. He is of the same siamese pattern as his sister, though his facial, paw, and tail markings appear a bit more brownish. His white fur is thin and sleek, allowing for an easy swim. He has eyes like the grass on the warmest greenleaf day. Minkpaw has a quiet personality much like his sister, but is making much more progress than her in breaking out of his shell. He can even be a bit reckless. His heart lies within the water, feeling a close connection with it. He loves to imagine himself as the Tidecaller one day. He loves his sister Peachpaw dearly. (ѕωєєтвєє) Queens and Kits: Kelpwhisker | She-Cat | 38 Moons -- (Sharkkit, Batkit*) Kelpwhisker is a large, lithe she-cat with agile paws. Her sleek pelt is soft blue-gray, cream, and white tortoiseshell pattern. Her short muzzle ends in long whiskers and she has bright amber eyes. She moves much more gracefully than her size would suggest. Kelpwhisker can often be judgemental and tends to gossip. If you want information, you ask her. If you have secrets, she will wile and poke and prod until you spill your guts. She can seem intimidating but she is a really loyal and amiable she-cat as long as you don't get on her bad side. (xfogpathx) Sharkkit | She-Cat | 6 Moons -- Sharkkit is a large, sleek blue-gray she-cat. She has broad shoulders and muscular legs good for swimming and climbing. Her muzzle and tail are both short and she has big white paws. She has stormy blue eyes and short whiskers. Her teeth a bit too long for her mouth so her top canines poke ever so slightly out of her mouth. Sharkkit is a bold she-cat, unafraid to take action or say what needs to be said, but it can make her reckless. She often acts without thinking. She is charismatic and others seem drawn to her but she has a mean jealousy streak that reveals itself at the worst of times (xfogpathx) Batkit | Tom | 6 Moons -- Batkit is a rather long legged tom with what it seems to be like gold eyes- although the color is still setting in, so they could very well end up goldfish- green. He has soft, fluffy black fur with a white patch on his chest. Throughout his body you can see small hairs that are white as well, and he has a few patches of white on his underbelly as well. He has a black nose and whiskers, and little bald spots right under his ears (although he's hoping that one day fur will grow there.). Over all he's just rather cute and fluffy, although he's a bit bowlegged and his eyes are slightly misaligned (Idk how to describe it, its the opposite of cross eyed), but its hard to tell unless if you really look at him. These two things make him just a lil awkward looking, and he hasn't really mastered the gracefulness of a cat yet. Batkit is overly energetic, always wanting to play and explore, and not really the best when it comes to "Manners", his excitement causing him to interrupt and become distracted easily. He really isn't trying to be rude, its just his personality and inability to control his own energy, much to his adoptive mothers despair. He's overly desperate to gain everyones approval, everyones love and affection, so he will go out of his way to seek praise,and when punishments are given he can be seen in the depths of despair, or perhaps its fear, thinking (at his young age) that he'll be thrown out of the clan for not being "perfect" (which he is far from and usually his attempts to do so ends up with him being in trouble.) (sweetclover1). Elders: None Outsiders: Lucy | She-Cat | 23 Moons -- Fresh fallen snow covers this dainty and slender kittypet. Her fur takes softness to the extreme, a trait not uncommon among her dynasty's ilk. Her eyes are a powdered lilac-blue, similar to a very very light indigo. Thusly, Lucy is deaf in one ear--thankfully only the left. She, as a purebred show-cat, has never been outdoors before she was wrongfully exhumed from her home. Despite her lineage, the kittypet is not nearly as vain as she 'should' be. No, more than anything Lucy is simply scared of new things and new people. She hates to get dirty, as 'white is white' and she must remain her perfect self. A perfectionist at its fineness, and not all that good at physical tasks. Innerly, however, she is kind and one just needs to peel back her defensive (sometimes offensive) outer layer. (Eris Alba)

☸ PlotsCurrent Plotlines: In Progress
Plot Ideas: Will be taking suggestions soon
☸ Rules◈ Activity: Now, we all know that things can get pretty crazy with life outside of the forums, and even with role-plays inside the forums. However, we really would love for this clan to work out so we are asking to post a response at least three replies a week. If you do not rp for a week, you will recieve a warning via private message. After three warnings, the creator will contact you about your clan status. The first part of the password is your favorite color. If you have a cat who is in a high rank/ a part of a plot we do ask for you to be on more often. Low muse is understandable, so even if you are suffering from that please just pop in and say hi so we know you are still interested in the clan!
◈ Realism: Please make your cats realistic. No violet eyes, or winged cats please! That being said, genetics is a pretty funky thing, especially for cats so if you want them to have a unique coat pattern, heterochromia, polydactyl paws, go for it! Just make sure that realistically it would make sense. A good rule of thumb is if you can find a legit picture of it, it's good to use.
◈ Literacy: This is a semi literate to literate clan, so please use correct grammar! It's understandable if there is a mistake here or there, but please try to use the best grammar possible for your responses. Please do not use text speak, either and make sure that you write in third person. With your responses please make sure you are writing at least one good paragraph, meaning at the very least four or five sentences. No one-liners.
◈ No Spotlighting, Mary Sues, Gary Stues, etc: No one is perfect,and that includes your characters! They can be great at something, perhaps the best in the clan, but they have to have faults, weaknesses, and fears as well.
◈ Kitstealing: Please do not steal any of our kits, unless it has been approved by the leader/mod/creator of the clan. If it serves for a plot purpose and has been approved, go nuts, but if not please refrain from stealing our kits.
◈ Keep it appropriate: Remember that there are some younger people on this site! That means keep everything PG, PG-13 if needed. Please do not go into graphic detail with fights, deaths, and kittings. The skip option is always our friend!
◈ Have Fun: Most importantly ; have fun! This is going to be a fun role-play, and just remember someones character might be a jerk but they probably aren't in real life. If there are any problems please talk to any of the "mods" in our clan!
◈ LGBTQ+ characters are allowed and welcome! If you are not comfortable with this, please move along .
☸ Links and Thanks

"Duskpepper, Citrinecoat!" a voice boomed from above the main floor of the camp. "Come here." Fallentide peeked his head over the side of the cliff and motioned towards his den. He wanted to take out a patrol towards the Thunderpath. There had been reports for days of strange smells but he had been chalking it up to the two-legs and their strange monsters. They always brought weird things to the shores. But Slyfoot had said he definitely saw a group of cats hanging about near the fences. Whether it was loners or MoorClan was the question and, of course, what was to be done about it. He would be taking some of the apprentices as well. Crabpaw was about ready to begin his Trials and this would be a good way to observe him before hand. Jasminepaw could use the experience as well.

Fellentide took a moment to stare at the ceiling, seriously reconsidering if he wanted to deal with these two in the same patrol before letting out a sigh. "Yes, he is necessary, Citrinecoat. I want you two to come investigate the patrols we have been getting the last few days with me." he told them, sure that they had already heard what had been happening. "We are going to take Jasminepaw and Crabpaw as well. They need the experience. Not that I think anything is going to happen." He drew a paw over his ear contemplatively before standing with a stretch. "Duskpepper, go gather the apprentices and meet us in front of the tunnel." With that, he walked away from the twos with a flick of his tail for Citrinecoat to follow him up to the next cliff.

Crabpaw paused mid-lick to his side as Duskpepper and Jasminepaw delivered their orders. He swiftly stood and shook out his fur, hoping that would at least get some of the dirt out. If his mother caught him leaving camp like this, she would throw a fit. "The Thunderpath? Thats pretty far..." the young tom murmured and turned to give his shoulder one last lick. "I bet its MoorClan trying to sneak over for prey! But we;ll show them, right, Jasminepaw?" He nudged the young she-cat with his shoulder as he passed her and quickly fell in line behind Duskpepper.

Fallentide nodded to the apprentices in greeting. Crabpaw met it by dipping his head almost to the ground before standing at attention. "Yes, we should head out. Crabpaw, take the rear. Jasminepaw, stay close to the group." the leader ordered before turning and going through the tunnel. Personally, he would have rathered just swimming out of camp to the two-leg beach but he wasn't confident in the young apprentice being able to make it that far. The tunnels made him feel closed in but he shouldered on without a flinch.
"So, do you think were going to fight someone?" Crabpaw whispered to Jasminepaw from the back of the pack, though the sound traveleld in the enclosed space.

(hey guys c:) Stormfeather stood near the underwater tunnel, the she-cat's head tilted as she looked over at the shallows. "Do you remember the first time you got your paws wet, Riversong?" She asked her uncle, her amber eyes flickering briefly over to where the dark tabby was emerging from the warriors den.
Riversong stretched out his back legs, lazily looking around camp. "That was so long ago," he responded, and before Stormfeather could tease him, added "I do, however, remember when you did. You weren't very graceful."

((hi! Sorry I was editing.))
A gray blur streak out of the nursery and crashed through the camp with a scittering of paws. With a leap, it jumped from the rocky ledge and straight into the shallow water. A great splash erupted from the water and fell on to the two cats sitting at the edge. A gray face emerged from the water with a big grin. "And she sticks the landing!" Sharkkit squealed happily.

Stormfeather jumped up in surprise as water splashed in her face, but soon a grin was playing on her face. "Already a natural!" She purred at the kit, shaking out her pelt. "If I were an enemy cat, I'd sure be afraid of you!"
Riversong recoiled from the edge, his blue eyes narrowing as he looked at Sharkkkit. "Be careful when you do that," he grunted, but the grouchy tom's voice was kinder than its usual tone. "Last time a cat did that to me, she went missing." He sounded serious, but a glimmer of teasing shone in his eyes. If an apprentice had done that, the tom would have gone off of them. But he knew how playful kits were.

Gobyswim padded out of the warriors den, sliding past Stormfeather and Riversong. She stretched out, long tail in the air as her front legs slid across the dirt, lowering her head to the ground. She yawned softly, before standing up. She watched in amusement as Sharkkit raced by her, short grey limbs covering the fox-lengths in seconds so she could throw herself into the water.
Gobyswim shook her head but smiled down at the kit shyly. When she had been a kit, she had loved swimming, even for a Shoreclan cat. Her father had said she was more fish than the cat. But being held up by the salt water, being able to dive down to the underwater world, was incredible. Gobyswim never swam in the open ocean if she could help it, that water was much to rogue. There wasn't a world down there, more like a storm of sharp rocks and dangerous fish. Gobyswim loved swimming in the shallows, however, and fishing in the puddles left by the tides.
This kit looked like she would throw herself into the middle of a storm. She was such a small thing too, though her personality and daring were much larger than Gobyswims. Still, she was in the shallows right now.
"It's good your practicing your swimming, Sharkkit." Gobyswim mewed kindly, ignoring the water droplets that had splattered her brown and white pelt.
Rayhunt left the warriors den when the commotion was over, letting out a loud yawn before looking around the camp. It looked like he had missed the first patrol. that left more time for him to relax in the camp, so he wasn't bothered. Rayhunt wasn't a lazy cat, but when something had nothing to offer him he didn't want to do it.

Sharkkit glowed under the praise from the two she-cat and paddled closer to the edge showily to keep their attention. She moved in lazy circles, knowing she could touch the bottom if she wanted to. Her ears perked curiously towards Riversong and she turned her stormy blue gaze to his face. "She did? What happened?" she asked and chewed at her bottom lip with her over sized teeth. She looked between Gobyswim and Stormfeather as if they knew the answer. Unknown to her, Kelpwhisker was peering out from behind the vines of the nursery. She was going to run after her over eager kitten and stop her from wrecking havoc but decided to stay back and watch her instead. She would be in apprentice soon. It would be good for her to interact with more of her clanmates.

Stormfeather nodded her head in greeting to Gobyswim, her whiskers twitching in amusement at Sharkkit. "The better you get at swimming, the better warrior you'll become." She responded in agreement to the brown and white she-cat.
Riversong rested his head on his front paws, his tail flicking lazily. "I really shouldn't tell you this," he drawled out, pretending to look concerned. "But there was once a she-kit just like you, who loved to swim and sneak up on poor unsuspecting warriors." Eying Stormfeather and Gobyswim, he leaned closer to the edge as if telling Sharkkit a secret. "One day she had swam out of camp by herself to scare me, just like you did. But when she went to come up from under the water, a shark grabbed her!" He whispered, keeping a straight face. Behind him, Stormfeather stifled a snort. "Rumor has it that the shark took her to his secret lair, and he swims beneath us, waiting for his next kit."

Rayhunt looked at Kelpwhisker in the nursery, looking at her kit with worry. He walked over to her, after grooming his Reddish brown pelt so that he looked presentable.
"You're kits are going to be an apprentice soon, are you exited to leave the nursery." He asked "I'm sure they'll do well." He flicked his tail at Sharkkit. "Expessially that one. It must have been a hard job to keep her from causing trouble. I was the same when I was a kit" Rayhunt remembered his early days. He had been a terrible kit, even worse than Sharkkit. He would have fought the waves themselves if his mother hadn't stopped him.
Gobyswim looked at Riversong in worry. Why was he telling this story to a kit? She would have been scared out of her mind if she had heard that when she was a kit, or even an apprentice.

Batkit, although usually energetic and following around his adoptive sister like her own shadow, was a bit more... hesitant when it came to the waters. No cat would really blame him for it- his actual mother had been caught up by the monsters waves and pulled her under- but he still felt like he should try harder when it came to the wet stuff. He just couldn't help but feel fear run through him, though, whenever he was touched by the waves, his over active imagination making him think that he'd go and be sucked in by the waves and join his mother with the monster.
So he tried to stay away, but didn't want anyone to think he was a Dryclaw, so he forced himself to be near the water, like he was now. He was close to the nursery, so if anything went wrong someone could save him. His heart was pounding out of his chest as he crept up to it, not noticing how his tail puffed out in just the smallest amount of fear, staying away from where Sharkkit was because he didn't want to be a scaredy-mouse around her. He needed to be a tough warrior. So he chose an area far enough away from his sister so he could look at the dangerous liquid, lifting a black paw and touching it hesitantly. "You can do this." He muttered to himself, not liking how his pelt stuck to him when it was wet. He was a clan cat. Well, half clan. Maybe thats why he was such a scaredy- mouse.

Sharkkit visibly startled for a moment, looking between Gobyswim and Stormfeather for a moment before focusing on Riversong. "W-well.....Ill just have to catch the shark then!" she yelled with a mixture of grim determination and recklessness. "Then the clan can eat shark for a whole moon and Batkit can swim farther without getting eaten." She nodded to herself as if this made perfect sense before leaning her front paws on the ledge closer to the warriors with a secretive look in her eyes. "Batkit isn't as good at swimming as I am." she whispered with a serious expression.
