hello!! i'm jer & i used to be on this forum an eon ago... and the biggest thing i miss from it all was the fan clans & making lots of cats & coming up with new plots and all of that jazz!! i have some ideas for how i want to run the clan, but i don't really have any original clan names or territory ideas. i like to keep it basic, honestly! if i was going to introduce any new system, it would probably be some kind of color-coded accessory. maybe flowers?
as well as that, and i hope i don't sound narcissistic in saying this, i'd like to incorporate my art by having a drawing of every kitty next to their information on the page! essentially like this, with a base for every rank (kits, apprentices, warriors, queens, etc.):
i promise they won't look as janky, i was drawing it all with a mouse ;v;
as for the map. i was thinking of an abandoned orchard or something! if anyone has any other ideas and wants to maybe do a multi-clan, i'd love to!

save for planning stuff! you can post now!
the clan will for sure be lgbt+ friendly! trans and nb cats would be welcome too! they're valid!
territory map:
clan map: wip !
ideas: - because the clan is themed around flowers, all cats should be named after a flower taking into consideration both the meanings behind the flower and the outside look of a flower! for example, a dark ginger she-cat with a feminine vibe might be named hibiscuskit at birth. - moonfall: sacred place located in the abandoned orchard / forest
name: floretclan theme: flowers! LOTS OF FLOWERS! territory: floretclan’s territory is located in a relatively secluded area in japan, underneath a cliffside with a gigantic waterfall at a low-medium current that splits off into two streams. the forest that is west to the camp is filled with sakura trees, which bloom in newleaf. aside from the excessive amounts of sakura trees, there’s a giant sycamore right near the camp with the bottom of the trunk hollowed out. the camp is a shallow gully: a pond once and now dried out, concealed in a flower meadow by tall grass and rose bushes.
prey: squirrels, birds, mice, fish, rabbits, shrew, moles, muskrats predators: tanukis, bears, wild boars, foxes, weasels, martens, snakes, twolegs, badgers, dogs
--
leader: rosestar ( jer bear ! ʕ •ᴥ•ʔ ) deputy: petunianose ( altaid ) medicine cats: mintgaze ( ang ♡ ) unnamed ( storm )
--
plot points: - rogue group settling near the great sycamore or something?? cats are like "HM. DONT LIKE THAT." - F L O O D I N G : )

this is something i really want to do, both in an 'old time's sake' sort of way, as well as making a devoted roleplay. i've been admin to several roleplays on discord, one of which had lasted 2 years before the group fell apart from member problems. making a devoted clan is something i'd really like to do, and any help i can receive is essential because i honestly need someone to brainstorm with most of the time. like, sometimes i ask my friends what shirt i should wear. if helping form a literate & long-lasting roleplay piques your interest, please reply! i am not low effort by any means, i just would like to keep my ideas simple and organized (although i bet they'll get long and jumbled when they're developed...)
thank you kindly for your consideration !

to start helping i propose that since its a flower-themed clan it gets named blossomclan/floretclan (both synonyms of flower, since flowerclan doesn't sound really good lol) also to keep up with the theme, all warriors name could be flower-related based on the color and meaning of flowers. for example: a dark ginger she-cat with a feminine vibe could be named hibiscuskit at birth. another example for medicine cat: a male medicine cat, white with light-grey markings called yarrowkit (yarrow means good health). i'll upload more suggestions later!

both of those ideas sound really good to me! i absolutely love the idea with the names. i'm leaning more on floretclan because i'm Fancy like that.
originally i was thinking an abandoned orchard would work, but maybe it would be better if the actual clan was in a flowery meadow of sorts near an orchard? and maybe a waterfall nearby as a 'sacred place' like moonpool? better yet: the orchard is more like a forest and there's a waterfall inside the forest at the edge? that would be really cool and scenic! it could be called moonfall or something!

rn we need some plot ideas for the roleplay, a list of prey + predators, more detailed descriptions of the territory and camp, a written history and information about the clan-specific traits of these cats, a written introduction (essentially just "you walk into the forest to run into a bigger cat to find _____" you know traditional stuff), and i suppose that's the majority of assets we need! besides that, helena is working on finishing the cat bases and has finished the territory map! i'm gonna probably just write the rp rules by myself!
we also need a joining thread to avoid clutter when the clan thread is made!

thoughts on the flower thing!! would everyone have their own personalized one? or would there be like a color-coded thing like a special color or type of flower for warriors, one for apprentices, etc?
also maybe instead of SOLELY flower-based names, most plant-based ones work? just because i feel like there might be lots with the same prefix? so maybe adding some like leaf-, bud-, petal-, grass-, etc might be cool to have?
also-- any special ceremonies/traditions/etc that relate to the flowers and, like, why they have them? that might be cool lore to add! as well as enemy clans or potential threads : o

also an enemy clan would require making another clan so probably not but!! i like the idea of flower based ceremonies!!! again this is probably located somewhere in japan so maybe something related to cherry blossom season?? also the flower accessory idea is good for distinguishing ranks n stuff!!

okay, so. i'll keep editing this until we have a bit of a finalized list but what kind of prey and predators do you think we'll see?

my first thought on predators would be tanukis/raccoon dogs, though i'm not sure how much of an actual threat they'd pose. some other potential threats/predators japan are bears, wild boars (not so much a predator but possibly threatening since they're so big?), foxes, weasels & martens (tho i suppose those could be prey too? idk.), snakes (these could also maybe be prey?)
in the way of prey: squirrels, birds, probably mice, and the ones i mentioned above.
some others to consider that may be encountered would be deer and monkeys, though i kinda doubt they'd really be threats?

there's probably the occassional dog or badger, too? warrior cat classics
