Hi there! I am searching for partners to roleplay with I tend to write several paragraphs per post and appreciate my partner reaching three meaningful paragraphs. Sometimes that just isn't possible, especially if only a couple characters are interacting, and I understand that.
I only have one of my own developed plots, but I'm open to other plots. Additionally, I am completely open to varying my plot with elements of whatever character you are bringing in as your main character. Please also note I always include slow-building romance within my plots.
Also, please note that I tend to like to populate a clan pretty healthily with characters; i.e. developing many different relationships in the clan, rather than having two characters that exist around mostly undeveloped pelts. This can lead to an unwieldy list of characters to track, but I have tools for that
Plot 1: Shadowpaw (Character 1) is a Shadowclan apprentice. He is malnourished, mistreated, and shows poorly-patched injuries. What's more, despite looking like he's about the age to finish his apprenticeship, he can barely hunt, he has zero fighting skills to show, and he doesn't believe he will ever be competent at any of the necessary skills to be a warrior. His mother has just been murdered by his father who is taking control of Shadowclan and bringing it back to what he saw as the 'glory days' of Shadowclan, news which eventually is revealed by Shadowpaw.
The plot begins with Shadowpaw fleeing the camp in the moments following the murder of his mother, Dawnstar, and the takeover of Shadowclan by his father, Nightscar. Depending on the clan you choose, Character 2(your main character, preferably a young warrior) encounters him in peril as he flees the clan, which provides multiple hints that something is wrong in Shadowclan. Character 2 has to save Shadowpaw and force him to come to the safety of Character 2's camp to explain what is going on. She quickly begins to grow a sense of defensiveness of Shadowpaw as the abuses occurring in Shadowclan come to light and even members of her own clan begin suspecting Shadowpaw is a spy, and feeling defensive of him leads to her being an impromptu mentor of his, and slowly towards more than that.
Plot 2: Character 1 (your main character) has had visions and dreams since early in her apprenticeship. A prophecy has been whispered in her ear by passing dreams for a pawful of moons, telling her that her paws will be responsible for many, that she has an important future, and more. Moons of this secret foretelling has made Character 1 a little self-important and proud, ready for the roses to be thrown at her paws, so to speak; yet Character 1 isn't an egotist. She is loyal to her clan, has no issue with the common duty of the warrior, and has a healthy pool of empathy one might not expect from knowing her very little.
Character 1 is dropped into a mess when Character 2 (my character) arrives from an adjacent clan, declaring that his clan is being slaughtered by dogs. Upon investigation its found that most of the clan has been killed, with faint traces of a couple cats who may have escaped.
Character 2 swears that there was a cat who entered alongside the vicious dogs, and though it doesn't make any sense, he swears the cat was attacking his clanmates. He can't describe the cat, but he is certain of it. He needs shelter, and from here the clan, for their own safety, feels compelled to at least attmept to discover where these vicious dogs came from. Character 1 by the next day is contacted in another dream, and finally met by a cat with stars in their pelt--and are told it is time to live up to all of the whisperings she has heard since she was young.
Again, these are just two plots I have thought up and I am happy to hear other ideas for plots, or adjustments to my own plots. Hopefully your interest has been piqued and I hope we'll be rping soon

Hi! I'm interested in either of these plots, if that's okay? I don't really have a preference, so if there's one you feel more like roleplaying, I'd be willing to rp :-).

sweetclover1Haha, ha...that's funny. Since my college locked down i have also gone down a map rabbit (cat? warrior?) hole of videos and songs. I'd love to start a roleplay as well! Which plot interests you more?

sweetclover1Alright, would you be okay with doing the second plot? I recognize I ascribe a bit of character in it but I definitely don't want you to feel like you can't bring your own character/her characteristics into that role!

inky Yes! I have started both of these plots, but if you have some things to spice them up or another idea entirely, I would love to start another rp!

inkyI like the cheesy love-except-not ideas. I think conflict with the first idea could come pretty naturally; cats of the clan don't trust the rogue and it is a battle to win trust to allow the rogue to remain there, while other cats are warning the special warrior that they are simply being played. I also like the basic but cutesy second idea and im wondering how we might develop some conflict in that. Obviously we can do a lot of neat subtle stuff with the romance but I imagine we can only do so much of that successively before it becomes a little stale. Can you think of some sort of conflict that could go along with it? Maybe a jealous third apprentice? A sibling or some other cat's kit entirely? I'm also wondering if there should be some sort of external threat (maybe dogs like in plot 2...?) Just kinda brain vomiting here. Give me your honest thoughts and we will make something work! c:

inky Oh I really like that as a plot device. What if that happened in the apprentice plot?

inkyWhat if Apprentice C ambushes and kills one of Apprentice A's parents and blames it on Apprentice B, is successful, and plans to swoop into Apprentice A's life because they 'love Apprentice A so much' And however it occurs, whether its immediately or a bit later when they encounter each other, Apprentice A and Apprentice B start trying to find out what really happened together while Apprentice C is whispering in Apprentice A's ear like "h-hey, stop that. looovvveee meeeeeee"

komorebi Yeah sounds good I like to have romance in my threads but of a variety that develops slowly, with tenderness. Definitely existiential/dangerous external threats to the clan/clans. I like secrets a lot, sometimes based in prophecies and sometimes just from cats who broke the warrior code, especially forbidden relationships in the past and such.

ooh exciting
okay so maybe we could have 2 cats from different clans that are friends , possibly being romantic down the road and they sneak out to see eachother but both leaders from each clan get a prophecy that they have to stop seeing eachother , or the clans will fall idk xD

komorebialright alright we can do the forbidden romance thing as the base. and what do you think about adding an old rivalry in there? Like maybe the cats, their parents know and hate each other or something? Some sort of past fight or maybe a murder, either accidental or intentional And what if the prophecy hints at the parents actually bringing the end of the clan if the apprentices keep seeing each other? So instead of the apprentices necessarily being the problem it focuses on the rivalry? And like the romance is still 'against the code' but isn't 'the problem' if you get what i mean?

loh that’s interesting !! so like maybe the parents find out and idk one of them like plans to kill the other ?? and then if one of them kills the other the clans will go to war etc and it’ll be the end of clans idk lmao but something around those lines maybe ? i’m bad at thinking of plots sorry xc

komorebiSomething like that sounds good to me. We'll have to think of something that gets the other two clans wrapped in in some way or other but I don't think we have to plot that right away
