oh my god Warriors Amino lmao. I tried several roleplaying Aminos, including the Warriors one, and while I kind of like the way they're set up with favorites for the characters and stuff, I find actually roleplaying there difficult. Color me impressed for such a long post no doubt typed on mobile. It's well-written as well, so I have no problem agreeing to let you claim a Clan- I didn't figure I would, but I had to check lmao.
As for FloodClan, looks like it could work fairly well, as long as you adjust the map, and possibly the story and their skills just a little bit. I think we already have running and climbing cats covered, and we don't want skills to overlap too much between the Clans, so you could utilize it a bit but possibly make that sort of their secondary skillset in modern times? With fishing and such being their primary skill. I think Territory 2 on the map would be perfect for them, but I'm not sure if you'll agree XD And I think that FloodClan will fit the naming theme just fine, but I can't guarantee it.

Yeah rolepplaying is very difficult on there. What I sent was copied off of one of my wiki posts for a character though lmaooo I tried just flipping the map around to see if it could fit as is, and I found that flippinng it horizontally and then rotating it makes it match pretty well with territory 2. I think I'd have to change the shape of the rivers slightly, and of course fix the backwords writing lmao. The thunderpath doesn't need to stay either, it was kind of weird to write around them having the space on the other side of the thunderpath as their territory. ![](https://media.discordapp.net/attachments/321917201672306691/370652168149270531/FloodClan_Map_2.jpg?width=424&height=424) As for their skills, I could probably come up with something to fix that. Maybe the "running and climbing" group is used to climbing rocks and messy terrain instead, and they used those skills to climb the rocks around camp, and that's how they survived the flood and discovered their modern day camp, and then the fishing and digging cats are the same. So the only addition to fishing and digging is that they can rock climb, but can only utilize this skill in their own camp since that's the only rocky place. If FloodClan ends up not working, of course, I can whip up a totally different clan instead and keep this one for my own use.

OH I should mention I have this ancient clan that I've rebooted a few times with recurring characters and all that, it's called AshClan. Each time, it's during the moons right after their founding while they're still figuring things out. I could do that clan instead. That clan doesn't have a map, so it may be more flexible. I've searched it up on the old site I used to use and it's bringing back some memories jeez lmao. Basically uhh.. I'll copy and paste the leader's and another important character's backstories so you get an idea of its backstory. It's kind of stupid, so I'd probably end up changing it anyways. He came from a clan that was bent on keeping all cats in line and disciplined. The leader was a sexist tyrant that never praised female warriors nor held them in favor during battle and on patrols. Soon Ashstar - Ashfall at the time - had had enough. He attempted to challenge the horrid leader and overthrow him during a patrol with the two of them and his apprentice. The night was dark and cloudy, a storm starting up. He fought for the lives of his clan, but the leader was defeated in vein. During the battle, the leader kicked a strange silver object into the air; directly afterwards a flash of white blinded Ashfall and apparently struck a dead tree nearby. If in weren't for Ash's negligence, the clan could have been warned of a wildfire approaching camp. Instead, he made sure that the leader died, but the final blow came from a blast of flames. Ashfall then realized his apprentice was gone. He found her body, singed fur and exposed burnt flesh, and could not save her. The fire forced him him back to camp, and it was too late. His clan tried to flee, but he was only aware of his own escape. He traveled a long while, until he found a stretch of territory alongside a wide lake and filled with trees and prey, where the air smelled of salt. This is where AshClan began.
Rosethorn was the runt of a litter of six, daughter to a rogue surrounded by clans and predators. She grew under a stern and temperamental mother, and five bigger siblings that always pushed her around. She grew tired of their abuse and struggled her way into a position of more comfort. She wasn't exactly stronger than the other kits, but she simply became so aggressive that they were afraid she might actually scratch them seriously, more so than usual kitten play and nursing usually becomes. They stopped messing with her, and began outright avoiding her. At four moons old, she was abandoned. After a few days, she was found by Ashstar - Ashpaw at the time, while he dwelled in a clan called FireClan. She outright refused to be brought back, and she found that he refused to leave her to live on her own. Instead, he built her a small shelter, and visited her every day or two and brought her freshkill. He once told her with very sad eyes about the death of his sister, and his brother being wrongly exiled. After he had, as he said, become a warrior, and been given the name Ashfall, he visited her less, but when he did, he taught her skills like hunting and fighting. One day, though, the forest was engulfed in smoke that came directly from FireClan's nearby territory. Rose, as she was called, wanted to see if her only companion for the last moons of her life was alive, but she was forced further and further from the territory. Scared and uncertain, she was found by Ashfall with a kind greeting and an offer about a day later. He asked her to come with him to form a new clan. He said he wanted to start anew and find territory and cats to join. Being stubborn, she refused to be a part of a clan, as she had heard from him and from her mother how cruel clan cats can be in power. However, after half a moon alone and unsure of what to do next, she began to realize that under Ashfall, a clan might not be a bad thing. So, she tracked him down. She followed prints and scents that were a moon old, and made her way as fast as she could in the direction in which he left. As she travelled, she was met by a tom, and at first she thought she would finally have a traveling companion. However, it didn't take long for him to take advantage of her weak, underfed form. She found Ashstar, kits now carried in her swollen belly, with a few underfed rogues just beginning to build a camp in the middle of an empty forest. She was met with joy from the green-eyed tom, who was now given the name Ashstar from StarClan. However, two moons into her arrival, she had her kits early - six, like her mother's litter. Three were stillborn, and the other three didn't survive more than a week. Grief struck her hard, and she still suffers from this recent loss.

I think FloodClan would work just fine, but if you want to incorporate aspects of your other Clan, that's fine. It's your Clan, after all, so as long as they all fit together everyone has liberty to more or less do what they want.

Hey, I haven't been on recently due to off-site planning for a different role-play as well as going through the processes of being employed. I've had to get a few things for the interview as well as information for the forms. I'm still interested, but I should be starting the job soon which will have me off around five in the morning to maybe eight in the morning and noon to about four or five in the evening. This will be Central and excluding any additions I will take.

As for you, russet.... we might be able to make room for one more Clan, but before I commit, a few things. One, I'm not sure the name would work with the theme we've discussed [being territory-related], and it also takes away a common prefix from use by characters, which I'd hoped to avoid. Besides that, the plan for the territory looks fine, we'd just have to figure out where to put it lmao. Territory 1 on the map is pretty large, so it would probably be easy enough to split it into two some way or another, possibly appropriating a bit of Territory 2 for that purpose as well. But, before we do any of that for sure, I definitely want to confirm that you'll be able to run a Clan. I looked back at your posts and what I've seen looks promising, but since it's not much, would you mind providing a little roleplay or writing sample? Doesn't have to be anything long or convoluted... just a paragraph or two should certainly be enough for me to get a good idea of your style.
Edit: ah yeah, and ʀᴀɪɴʟᴇᴀғ 🍁 , I did see your post, I forgot to respond, sorry. I understand entirely about your situation. Do you think you'll be able to keep up with a Clan still, or are you wanting to abandon your claim?

I was hoping to keep my Clan, but I can understand if you feel uneasy. Until I get used to the schedule, I was hoping Cyn wouldn't mind helping me out. The first month and a half, and into the holidays may be a bit difficult, but I will certainly try my best. :3

Oh no, I don't feel uneasy at all, I just legitimately unsure if you were insinuating that you wanted to drop your Clan XD if you think you can still do it, that's great! The more the merrier (well, to an extent at least lmao)

I'm glad that's cleared up. I've been thinking of the name for my Clan, and I've come up with a few, but they may be common. AppleClan**, AdderClan, AcornClan, FennelClan, HickoryClan**. The two stars indicate my favorite and I really don't see them that often.

Post by Aphelyon on Oct 20, 2017 11:27:43 GMT -5
Hm... I like AppleClan and HickoryClan. I think I like HickoryClan a bit better, but really I suppose it depends on the Clan's personality. I imagine AppleClan as being a brighter, gentler Clan, while HickoryClan I think would fit a slightly more reclusive or mysterious Clan. That's just my interpretation though lmao, it's not really based on anything concrete.

I kinda like a mix of both. HickoryClan would probably have a history of fluctuating leaders with some being ruthless and causing HickoryClan to go through war after war and some being very peaceful, but giving them a weaker front to others with how hesitant they are to fight.

|
|
Post by Aphelyon on Oct 20, 2017 11:46:30 GMT -5
Hm. Maybe they're traditionally a more "violent" Clan, so in more recent times they've been reluctant to fight at all to try to avoid starting more wars, and so the other Clans have this impression that they're "going soft"?

New version of the map. FloodClan's territory isn't exact with your map, Dragon, but I hope it's close enough for the time being? And I wasn't entirely sure if the darker area on your map was indicating forest or raised terrain so I put forest, but I can change it. I also added in an extra territory with the assumption that russet will prove that they can take a Clan, but if that proves false I'll just revert the territory lines back to more like how they were before.

I don't want them to be like ShadowClan, though. I really dislike the books doing that because it was so predictable, not saying it'll be predictable here.

Fair enough, though I feel as though it would turn out differently in a roleplay. Because to be fair, the Erins treat ShadowClan the same way Rowling treats Slytherin lmao. That is, basically unconditionally evil (with few exceptions) and everything bad is always their fault no matter if it actually makes a lot of sense or is realistic or not.

From my experience, if you label a Clan as a "bad" or "evil" Clan, people will go with that and I don't want to have to deal with all of the "evil, ambitious" characters.

Haha fair, though I wasn't thinking either of those adjectives... more just, idk, defensive, perhaps a bit suspicious of outsiders. Kind of like ShadowClan: no time to talk it out, just chase them off and be done with it. But if you don't want to risk it being construed as the "edgy" Clan I get that lmao.
