LOSTCLAN
**Please note the plot on post 4** **Also this clan is being revived so I have removed all the characters originally in the RP but these characters are still on the joining page so if you want to rejoin using those characters let me know I'll put them back in!**
Our story...
For many moons we lived as four clans among a fruitful expanse of territory. ThunderClan lived in a prey-rich forest and are known for their ferocity and bravery. They were keen hunters and fighters in the dense forests and were a lively clan that have a deep history among the wildcats - even today. RiverClan also lived in the dense forest but their most notable feature is their ability to swim and hunt for fish. They are renowned for their wit and strength - and their sleek beauty was often appreciated. WindClan were lean cats who had the ability to sprint on their moorland territory and catch even the fastest of rabbits. Their swiftness and loyalty is something we haven't forgotten. ShadowClan are wily and proud and often took to using their claws instead of their words when it came to challenging others. Their stealthy personalities were reflective of their pine and marsh hunting grounds. SkyClan - once removed from the forest - are agile and determined who suffered harshly but persevered with their resilience. They use their agility to chase squirrels up trees in their wide spread forest territory.
Now... why am I telling you this, young one?
These Clans are our ancestors. When the twolegs and their monsters can to the forest we have no choice but to flee from our homes. We had to put aside our differences and work together to help each other. The only place we had to go was to the city, the expanse of forest was destroyed. Since this time, young one, we have become the clan you live in today. LostClan is our name - a merging of the five clans who used to rule the forest.
Many things have changed, but most notably, StarClan no longers resides overhead. No one knows why, but as night falls, the city stays alight and loud - and the sky turns stormy black, missing those stars who are the reflection of the clanmates we have lost.

How We Live After the destruction of the forest... there was no where else for the Clan to go, but to the city. It took a long while for the clan to finally become acclimatised to the city. Obviously, we've had to become different kinds of hunters. The best prey is in large grassy areas known as 'parks', where there are also some trees. These places are often filled with squirrels, pigeons, rats, and mice. These 'parks' are the most reliable source of food, but sometimes around the city there will be pigeons, or scavenging through trash can be effective too.
As opposed to the living in the forest, where our pelts came in colours of blacks, greys, and browns to blend in, it doesn't make much difference in the city. After many moons of outsiders joining, there is now no colour scheme to the clan. Cats range in different colours, different lengths in pelts, and sizes.
On the topic of Outsiders, if someone from outside the clan wishes to join, they must undergo a trial. They will be assigned a mentor, and treated as apprentices, but only until they prove themselves a worthy clanmate. They will then earn their clan name, and become a valuable clanmate.
In the city, there are also a lot of twolegs... and it is best to avoid them, but usually twolegs don't take notice of us. In fact, some cats noticed that if you are friendly to twolegs they will give you food! There are mixed opinions about this though, some cats believe it is totally against everything we've known, while others believe there is no harm in having a full stomach - even if it means rubbing against a twoleg.
Sometimes, cats can get taken away... this was a seen a lot when our clan first arrive to the city. Cats would be taken away by twolegs and never seen again! These days, we know we have to be cautious of twolegs who start to threaten us. This is why there is such debate about taking food from twolegs. But, at the end of the day, we must all stay together and make sure no one else is lost!
We can no longer talk to StarClan... this was the biggest shock of all upon coming into the city. Silverpelt is difficult to see and our connection to StarClan has weakened because of it. We don't believe they've abandoned us, but more that we've been lost to them. Due to the fact there is no longer a connection to our ancestors, leaders cannot receive their nine lives. They only have one life, so they must be very cautious, which is why the leader can sometimes be younger than what one may think - because they proved themselves worthy, but their leader died early.

Our Home The main camp is, surprisingly, in a peaceful position. It is located under a small bridge, which is on the outskirts of a smaller park - seen in the picture to the side. Warriors, the deputy, and the leader will either sleep in the hollow tunnel under the small bridge, or in the branches of the tree should the weather allow. The tunnel can flood if there is too much rain in a short period of time, so the warriors will have to bear the rain and sleep in either the tree, or squish into the small dens of the elders, apprentices, and queens.
Near the bridge is a small patch or tree and shrubs, which have been shaped to allow the queens, apprentices, medicine cat, and elders. There isn't much space there, because the patch is only small. The bushes have been trampled into dens.
Nearby to the camp is a small pond where we drink, and some cats carry on the fishing tradition of out RiverClan ancestors - although this hunting technique is not favored by many. The grassy area only expands a short distance before the grass turns to concrete, and the sky-towers loom above. It is a small patch of greenery in a big city of grey.
The most notable and frequented places around are... The water fountain, where we can drink or rest in the sun. It isn't far from the camp and is almost in the middle of the Big Park and the camp. The big park, were we do most of our hunting. It is filled with pigeons, squirrels, mice, and rats, but also twolegs. There can also be dogs, though oddly enough, they are controlled by the twolegs and attached by a rope to their owners. The pond, which is in the big park. It is blocked off with a little fence, but it is easy for us cats to jump over or slip under. The ponder has fish, ducks, and geese around it - which, if you're determined enough, can be caught for prey. The pond usually has some herbs which the medicine cat can use. Various patches of parks, there are a few little parks dotted around, each usually have some prey around. These little parks have less twoleg activity and are considered safer for apprentices.

Details
The season is leaf-fall. The weather is starting to cool down, but the prey remains bustling, and the trees remain healthy. Clan Census Warriors: 12/โApprentices: 2/โ [ limited only by number of warriors ]Queens: 1/5Kits: โ/โ [ limited by number of queens ]Elders: โ/โOutsiders: 4/15
Plots If you have any suggestions, feel free to share! At the moment, there is a lot of getting to know each other, and musings. I have an idea for a plot ideas such as cats being captured by twolegs, dog invasions, outsider invasions, floods, and even a relocation of the clan due to an unforeseen reason. Once again, don't be afraid to raise you voice and suggest something! โ Suggest!โ Suggest!โ Suggest!
CURRENT PLOTBarkstar's body was found dead in an unusual place at the furthest edge of the usual hunting grounds. It was deemed suspicious - perhaps by a group of rogues. The only thing is, Barkstar was a well loved cat who was commonly in contact with local rogues that live near the clan. Barkstar doesn't seem like the kind of cat who would be murdered for no particular reason... Jackdawstar is now the leader, the young tom was ill-prepared and when the news broke that their beloved leader was murdered there was a great weight flung onto his shoulders to not only encourage the clan to return to their routine, but to also discover what happened to Barkstar...
The idea of this plot is kind of a mystery-cluedo-style thing. My character, Kestrelclaw, is extremely ambitious. He wants to be the leader of LostClan and he is willing to go so far as to murder to get what he wants...
Please let me know how you would like to be included in this plot! Whether you are happy to have a character murdered, or if you want to have some kind of relation to Kestrelclaw. The idea is that Kestrelclaw is going to build a gang of rogues (not unlike Tigerclaw in the books) and try and overthrow LostClan and fear his clanmates into following his lead. The murder of Barkstar is the beginning of his plan to throw the clan into discourse...Membersaether - Jackdawstar, Kestrelclaw, Rabbitspring, Brindlefrost, Snowfeather, Sedgepaw, Nettlepaw, Whisker, Itch, Scratch [ rp creator ]Relations Cat mentors Sedgepaw Cat mentors Nettlepaw Cat has a crush on Cat.

Jackdawstar ;; Camp ;; Partner's character ;; and @ ;;
Jackdawstar sat upon the bridge ledge overlooking the camp. The grass was frosty surrounding the camp but as the dawn sun eased into the sky the dew would soon evaporate into thin air. The seasons were changing and leaf-fall was early. This was of concern to the leader as he considered the squirrels in the park burrowing and preparing for leaf-bare, the prey would become thinner and scarce.
The stress of colder seasons only added to the weight on Jackdawstar's shoulders. Besides concerns of prey, his mind was also swarming with thoughts of Barkstar. He missed her guidance. She always knew exactly what to do, exactly how to boost morale in the clan, how to solve the petty social issues and how to lead when the threat of aggressive rogues were out there... looming.
Oh, Barkstar... I hope you can see me... somehow... He looked up at the sky which was milky was the night turned to dawn. In the city there were no stars that twinkled with StarClan's confirmation. Jackdawstar wondered if it was possible for StarClan to see their clan, even though they couldn't contact StarClan.
I need a to get out of camp and patrol, maybe that will help clear my mind. His yellow orbs stared to the warriors den, watching as Rabbitspring stood in front of it and stretched out his long legs.
Rabbitspring ;; Warriors Den Entrance ;; Partner's character ;; and @ ;;
Rabbitspring woke early and turned over in his nest so he laid on his back. The flattened grass that made his nest was warm and dry, but the air was cool and smelled of damp. The young tom ended up standing and exiting the den, taking mind to step carefully over Snowfeather who slept soundly beside him. He stepped out and stretched, feeling a satisfying shudder roll up his spine and to his tail tip as he reached out with his long front legs.
Since the sudden death of their leader, Rabbitspring had felt somewhat uneasy being alone. A quick glance around found Jackdawstar sitting upon the bridge ledge with his legs tucked underneath - the mere sight of the leader eased Rabbitsprings discomfort.
Rabbitspring walked with a few long strides to the fresh-kill pile and frowned at the sight of a measly bush-mouse. He would need to hunt before he could eat.

(This looks awesome! Iโm definitely going to join, but I just had one question! About how long has it been since the clans banded together, and went to the city? I only ask because I wanted to know if any of my cats would still believe in StarClan, or if thatโs pretty much an urban legend by now.)

[ The 5 Clans are now a story told by elders. They are very much in the past memory, and so is StarClan. Some cats choose to have faith in StarClan as their legacy is still passed by word of mouth but some cats don't think about too much. Believing in StarClan isn't necessary either since no one can communicate with them anyway (although I'd love to explore a plot in the future where something happens so they send a patrol to try and leave the city to find StarClan) ]

(That sounds like a really awesome plot! I was thinking that it would be cool if there was a cat, or group of cats, who try to propose the idea to Jackdawstar that they should go back and venture into the forests like their ancestors did. There's a lot of juicy stuff that can happen!)

[ yeah! i'd love to explore a bunch of different plots and expanding out of the city would be really cool idea O:
I've added you characters by the way! You're good to RP. The current plot I have going at the moment is that Kestrelclaw is forming a band of rogues to overthrow the clan so that he can become leader of the most powerful clan to ever exist. Kinda like the Tigerclaw story in the novels lol. ]

Echbounce - - In the clearing - - With Jackdawstar - - aether - - The quiet sound of footsteps overhead made Echbounce's ears perk up. She lifted her head to the dark ceiling, ears pricked as she listened to the enigmatic murmurings of up-walkers passing by. The sound was something she had grown accustomed to, being raised here, and yet she would still crane her ears, always trying to decipher their noises. Soon her ears lie flat and she returned to her duty. Someone had put her herbs out of order. She didn't know who, not yet. But it was someone, and certainty not herself. The poppy seeds go in THIS little outcropping, not the other. She feverishly began to rearrange her supply, and it was only now that she counted her stock, and found it was dwindling.
She tipped her head as she tried to remember where all her Chervil had gone. Immediately, creeping thoughts began to claw the back of her mind. Someone was stealing them, some masked cat under the shadow of night had slipped into her den and stolen them from right under her nose! She had to shake herself to get the thought to go away, as she knew she would obsessive over it if she let herself. No I'm sure it's fine... It's a common plant, I'm sure I used it without realizing... She tried to reassure herself. Well, thief or no thief, the stock was still low. She would need to start hording now if she were going to have a safe leaf-bare.
By the chill that swept through the tunnel and touched her fur she was reminded just how fast approaching the winter months was coming. For ease of mind, she wanted to jump on this immediately. The cinnamon molly pulled herself from her post and trotted through the small tunnel, and out into the cold dawn ear. The frosted grass crunched under her paws. Her ears perked, and her head swiveled about as she tried to find her brother, and finally her amber gaze rested on him perched upon the ledge. She tuned to face him and sat down, looking up at him. "Jackdaw, we're going to need to start organizing more patrols to track down herbs..." She murmured uneasily. She still hadn't gotten used to referring to her kin as leader. It just sounded so strange coming from her. The fluffy molly shuffled her paws as she continued. "I don't know if it's in stock, but we need to comb through the two-leg nests for catnip. I can go, of course. I would just need some able bodies to help me carry stuff back."

((@cactus i have morningdust and fogsplash open :>)) Leopardtail - Camp w/ Rabbitspring - aether โYou going hunting?โ Leopardtail was always up early, and had watched Rabbitspring get up and approach the meager fresh-kill pile as he groomed a few leaves from his fluffy tail. Now he approached the older tom, glancing down at the mouse, the back up to Rabbitspring. Hunting early never hurt, before the prey was driven to its burrows by patrols tromping around and apprentices training and shouting across the city, too young to realize hey should keep their mouths shut. Besides, he always ended up with a headache if he stayed in camp when everybody else woke up, all the noise causing an unending pounding above his eyes, and heโd rather avoid that if he could. Filling the fresh-kill pile was a fine excuse to take his leave as soon as possible- there was no shortage of hungry cats in the camp.

Wyllowdawn in camp, with [...]
Moving towards the tunnel that LostClan called their camp, Wyllowdawn carried a few mice by their tails. The silver Abyssinian she-cat purred to herself as she padded towards the fresh-kill pile before she placed it down. Turning, her amber eyes scanned the clearing, her mind racing as she wondered where the rest of her clanmates were. So for she noticed Jackdawstar and Rabbittspring.
Sighing, the silver she-cat slipped off to the side of the camp to rest for a bit, before she would collected for another patrol. She wouldn't mind going out and providing for her clan. As she settled into a patch of sunlight grass, Wyllowdawn let her mind wander. She wasn't old by any means, but she felt like she was an elder. She did some early morning hunting; her way of providing for the clan and her muscles felt stiff.
Stretching out her short limbs to where she was mostly laying on her belly. She rested her head on her outstretched forepaw's, letting herself settle, but allowing herself to watch the clan as it would become bustling.

Lost in thought, it was quite the shock to hear his sisters soft voice from below. He disguised his surprise by a few swift licks to his chest as she spoke of her concerns. They were valid concerns too - last leaf-bare had been disastrous when green-cough swept through their camp. Alas, it was very risky to stray too far from camp at this time because of the mystery that still revolved around Barkstar's murder; what is the same cat who murdered Barkstar also attacked any cat who strayed too far from camp? Yet... being so fearful was not a leader-like trait.
"You're right," as always, his sister never seemed wrong; that is why she made the perfect medicine cat. "I trust you to go as far as you need to get herbs, maybe take some of the senior warriors with you, in case you encounter any rogues." Jackdawstar's round yellow eyes drifted to the warriors den as he considered who would be the best to take... "Kestrelclaw is our best fighter, he will be very useful if you were to encounter any hostile rogues."
Jackdawstar stood and leapt down the short distance from the ledge to the earth, his paws silently hit the dirt below and he looked at his sister eye-to-eye. It feels so weird to be leader, talking to her like we aren't littermates. His gaze softened and he added softly, "Though the rogues might be more scared of you than you are of them," his tone was teasing.
Rabbitspring ;; Camp ;; Leopardtail ;; @nettles ;;
Rabbitspring flicked his tail in greeting as Wyllowdawn placed her fresh kill on the pile and watched her meander over to a nice sun-spot. But his attention was quickly turned to Leopardtail, who was approaching. Rabbitspring nodded his head quickly, the young tom dug his curled claws into the earth and licked his lips - the scent of the freshly caught mice Wyllowdawn had laid on the pile was already tempting him to eat. Rabbitspring had it in his own personal values that he preferred to hunt or patrol before allowing himself to take from the pile - he was a young and fit warrior, he didn't need to take from the pile first.
So, in answer to his clanmates question, "Yeah! I think I'll go to the big park, maybe get some squirrels. You want to come?" Rabbitspring, as always, sounded cheery. This toms optimism and cheer was often contagious. "We should gather some more for the patrol, who else is around..." He turned his pale green gaze to the camp. Wyllowdawn had just hunted, so she would need a break. Jackdawstar and Echobounce and talking, so Rabbitspring would leave them be. Snowfeather's slender white form was exiting the warriors den, she stepped daintily in the dew-covered grass. "Snowfeather can come. Hey, Snowfeather! Want to hunt?" Rabbitspring called across the clearing.
After a moments hesitation, Snowfeather padded towards the two toms and nodded her head.
"Perfect, just need one more." Rabbitspring continued gazing around to find another candidate.
