Welcome.
For as long as the sun has risen in the east, the warriors of ShatteredClan have been subject to the whims of chaos, vulnerable to the games of the wicked, and at the mercy of the choices of Gods.
Darkness has always been a part of our world, whether lapping at the edges of burrowing into our very veins. Nothing has ever been safe, not a moon has gone by in our long lives that has been peaceful. Little more than puppets.
In a world where anything around you can be your best friend the one day, and your worst enemy the next. It is impossible to know just who to trust. Leaving ShatteredClan a fractured group constantly on the brink of extinction, persistently losing their own members into the darkness. How it has survived as long as it has is difficult to understand.
Perhaps by the whim of the Gods alone have they survived this long, a cruel trick and nothing more.
However, under new leadership the Clan has begun to retake their own destinies, and stake claims on what otherwise would have been tragic fates. Fighting back against the Gods who would prefer them obedient or dead.
So what are you left with when the most powerful creatures in your realm are dethroned, when the slave-masters are forced to watch as their once vessels are set free?

Rules.
i - Forum Rules. Fairly self-explanatory, please follow the forum rules! ii - Characters. It doesn't need to be perfect, but please avoid Mary Sues, and simply impossible (as in wings, pink fur etc.) characteristics. iii - Roleplaying. No God-Moding, no Kit-Stealing, please be nice to everyone. Again hopefully fairly self explanatory! iv - Plagiarism. I've put so much effort into this clan and its premise, so if you could please be respectful and not take anything you find here without permission, I'd appreciate it! v - Literacy. The idea is that this will be a fairly advanced clan, but I won't expect too much as I sometimes struggle depending on the day. I ask that you please be able to produce at least one, well written paragraph for every cat you write about. But I won't be angry if you fail to, just try to keep grammar, spelling, etc of a decent standard. vi - Joining. There is no minimum nor maximum number of characters you may have. However, I do request that you aim to keep genders fairly even, i.e. if you see there's a surplus of toms add a shecat here or there. I do ask for no motherless kits, and whilst Queens are fine, please find a mate for her upon joining. So I know you have read the rules, please add Vengeful Gods to the other part of your form!

Territory.
Heading north the land grows terse, as the thick forests open onto ample moorland. The large valley you will stumble across is known affectionately by the members of the Clan as Where Demons Hide, here the fog grows thick and demons come out to play. If you need to beg for something, the life of a loved one, plentiful prey during a harsh leafbare, a cure for an unwell clan member, this is the place for you, but know there will always be a price. Skirting the territory, you will come across a broad river, crossed by the Stone Bridge, which is more of a tease than a useful tool for the clan. For no matter how far you go, you will never reach the other end, and most turn back before nightfall, and after a few metres the fog becomes so overwhelming you won't be able to see your own paws. Continuing onward from there a short ways, you will find the Stepping Stones but a further joke for those seeking freedom, as the final stone is an impossible jump, and those who attempt to jump, if fortunate they return drenched, and the unfortunate drown. Heading towards the centre of the territory, you will come across the Hidden Valley where the fog often grows so thick that even the most well versed warrior would struggle to pinpoint its whereabouts on the worst days. Eastward, the land is consumed by the thick forests and is one of few places to escape the relentless fog. The Meadow is the first landmark in this part of the territory, where the land grows flat and open briefly, and is a preferred place for grazing rabbits and the occasional herd of deer. A small stream cuts through the forests, ending in the Reflection Lake, a body of water so clear that you can see the fish on the sandy bottoms, and would also mirror the stars if this Godless place had any to offer. Bordering the streams coming off it is what we know as the Pebble Beach, a prime spot for fishing for the brave cats among us. The border to this part of the territory is a sad reminder of hardships since past. Here the trees become sparse, and what little life remains is but more than scavengers. A fire started by a storm killed much of the life here, and left the rest of the land untouched only thanks to the rivers intersecting the place. It is known as the Nevergreen Woodland, and nowadays is mostly home to owls and crows, but life is slowly returning. Lastly there is a small section of the forests where the ground becomes damp and unstable, and occasionally unsafe if you don't keep your wits about here. This is The Mire, a small marsh home to an ample number of toads, frogs and fish for those who don't mind getting their feet wet. Diving southward, the flatness that overtakes much of the rest of the territory begins to ascend sharply. This is the hilly portion of our territory, and here it tends to be incredibly windy, hence the name of the first landmark, the Windy Garden, arguably one of the most important places on our land. For this is where much of the wildflowers on our land grow, and offers the healers their main sources of herbs. Further down, you will come across several entrances underground, these are the Thundering Caverns, a network of tunnels and caves that spread out across much of the territory, with various entrances in other places too. They gain their name due to their proximity to a large nearby waterfall, known as the Cascades, the rush of liquid causes the sound to echo throughout the tunnels. The waterfalls finish in a small known as the Star Pond. Due to the lack of stars in our land, this is our closest thing to it, for the glittering rocks lining the bottom are bright enough to look like stars, or at least to our deprived minds. Journeying eastward the most notable landmark is the Camp, a small valley surrounded by pine trees offers us a sheltered place to call our home, difficult to see from afar making it safe. Beyond there is a small meadow that we know as the Wolf Hollow, fortunately the wolves this place once took its name from don't often appear, but never say never. This is the prime spot for mentors to take their apprentices to practice their battle moves. Our land ends in what we know as the Dead-end Ravines, an impassable set of ravines where the fog also grows impossibly thick. We have lost more than one member to slipping from these heights, so caution is advised about wandering too close. The final landmark on our territory is what we know as the Boneyard, a heart-breaking place to much of the clan though most cats aren't old enough to remember what took place here. During the final battle of the last war, it ended so horribly those that remained could not bury the dead and had to return home for treatment. By the time the cats returned, what remained of their fallen comrades was only bones. Camp.
As already mentioned, ShatteredClan's camp resides within a large meadow bordered by pine trees. It is fairly large, but well sheltered from the bitter elements of the area. A small stream cuts northwards through camp, which is our main source of water for the members of camp. The fresh kill pile resides in a small, hollow tree stump central to area. Leader's Den; close to the centre of camp is a collection of boulders offer a small shelter within, which the clan's leader takes advantage of in order to call his home. The peak of which is where the leader will hold clan meetings. Healers and Shamans Den; isolated to the eastern side of camp, close enough to access in emergencies, but far enough to prevent infection in the case of illness, it is made from the trunk of a felled trees. The roots still in tact to prevent the entrance of wind, but the tree branches and leaves have been removed mostly to provide entrance. Warriors Den; we assume the purpose of this den was once to act as shelter to a family of foxes. Fortunately the original tenants have been long since been driven out, and the den expanded in order to make a very spacious place for warriors to rest. The den is enormous, and has several entrances throughout camp, spanning across much of camp's underground. Apprentices Den; the cats in training to become warriors of ShatteredClan rest within the roots of a small pine tree. It isn't a massive den, but comfortable enough. On the roots of the bark is an ample supply of moss, meaning those tasked with the chore of cleaning dens don't have to wander far to find supplies. Nursery; a pair of felled trees propped against the naturally sharp incline of the ground offers the clan's queens and nursery helpers a place to rest their heads. Ivy has been gardened to cover all but one small entrance, making it a cosy place to sleep. Elders Den; rather than being evicted upon retirement, instead the elders of the den have an offshoot of the warrior's den. A smaller area, covered thoroughly with moss to make it comfortable, and an entrance of its own. But it allows elders to not feel quite as exiled when they decide to move on to the next stage of life. That and, well... not many warriors are fortunate enough to reach retirement here.
About the Clan
Due to not all sharing the same blood, and newcomers often 'stumbling' across the clan out of the fog, there doesn't tend to be any strict type of cat that the clan fits into. Helpful features tend to be bulky warriors, capable of journeying across the enormous territory, and some degree of musculature in order to do the climbing often necessary here. However, due to the very diverse nature of our home, cats of all sorts of characteristics can thrive within our territory. One of few fortunate things about the unusual place where we live. Isolation doesn't make for the happiest group of cats, and due to the often relentless nature of the danger we live in, much of the clan have become hardened to the tragedy of their lives. This isn't a universal rule, but you might forgive those who come across as rather cold. We are, however, incredibly closely knit and loyal to one another, and the bizarre way in which we live our lives. Steeled as we might be to it, we would do just about anything to keep one another safe.
History
The history of our clan has not been a happy one, nor does it promise to grow more hopeful in the future. The story of how we first came to be is under some dispute. A common story you will here is that our first leader, Lionstar awoke in the middle of the fog one morning. Journeying through the dark until he found the place we would come to know as home, and for the first few moons he lived as a rogue. Unsure where he was, who he was or even how to return home, only with the faintest remembrance of the life he once lead and his name. A brief recurence of StarClan somewhere in his mind, though who they were and what they did he didn't know. For this new place didn't even have any stars. After a few moons of living a solitary life, cats he is quite certain weren't there to begin with found him. And that was the first, pitiful beginnings of what would become ShatteredClan. Life has never been kind, and with merciless Gods walking among us subjecting us to their whims, it never will be, but we have survived. However, there was a time we briefly didn't. The one time we decided to attempt to earn freedom from the strange lives we lead, certain the reason for it was the Gods ruling us. The members of the clan chose to lead a rebellion, hoping not to kill the gods but injure them enough to stop them preventing our leaving. However, it went horrifically wrong, and not many of us survived that war nor the cruelty which would follow it. Fortunately, the clan has an ever regrowing population through the fog. But it put us off ever wanting to rebel ever again. Mythology
What is in truth occuring within ShatteredClan, is that after the defeat of the Dark Forest by the original four clans, StarClan decided there should be another way of dealing with things. This is the Place of No Stars made flesh, where those who did dark things during there lives can attempt to gain salvation by living again. They will have no memory of their lives before, except perhaps some brief memories about StarClan. However, the stars lost control of this place early on, allowing dark gods and spirits to take over. The Gods often walk our lands, and the purpose of the shaman is to speak with the gods when they are willing, or attempt to free a possessed vessel. In times of uncertainty, sacrifices of prey or herbs can be made to the god in exchange for pleas, but they wont always be answered. The dark spirits that took over our starless skies are for the most part quite evil creatures. They often possess members of the clan to act as their vessels to walk about the earth. It is believed they are stars of the real world that have supernova, previous Gods who's light no longer reach the mortal realm. There may be no stars in the skies, but the gods who journey our lands take animal forms, with coats imprinted by stars. Some of the spirits would be familiar to the clans, their old counterparts, Leo, Juba and Thera, (the Lion, the Cheetah and the Tiger.) But some new faces. Leo; the lion spirit and the cruel master of the Gods. He rules with an iron thumb, and can most often be seen trapsing the territory in the form of an enormous, celestial lion. Juba; quick witted and silver tongued, the cheetah spirit will convince you he's your best friend and will promise you freedom in exchange for your sight, hearing and claws, but abandon you at the last minute. This heartless god takes the form of a celestial cheetah, long legged and as quick footed as his mind is. Thera; the tigress goddess and a flirtatious creature, mothers will often sacrifice to her as a promise that their kits will survive illness or leafbare. But she is no matronly figure, watchful and observant, but incredibly strong and is someone who will take everything from you, an may grant your wish, but twist your words into something you never wanted. Ursa; the bear goddess, and the strongest of all the Gods in terms of sheer, overwhelming size. The God of the battle, someone who will possess you before war just for the sheer fun of it, and run your body to exhaustion and leave you turn half to shreds and surrounded by death. Cani; The wolf God isn't what you'd expect, instead of the strong wolf he is the loner, and the God of death, often seen before the illness or tragedy. He isn't seen often but when you spot his celestial wolf form about the fogs, know it is often a bad omen. Lepa; often underestimated for his small form, but the hare god can be as dangerous as any of his counterparts. Mischievous but cruel, he is the prankster god, and would convince you you are tickling your best friend, only to awaken from a daze to discover your claws bloodied.

Leader.
Head of the clan, and the key decision maker, though a good choice will always refer to the choices of those they lead.
Riptidestar; an enormous, dark brown warrior with stripes of dark brown and white all over his frame, his eyes are dark blue. Stoic, quiet, but incredibly loyal. He is one of the only cats to be possessed by Cani, who got out of it alive. Deputy.
The right hand cat to the leader, and the one who organises the clan and makes sense of the chaos we often live in. A middle-cat between the leader and the clan, and someone who will talk sense into the leader during times of need.
Silentstare; An albino tom with pink eyes. Reserved and rational, he seems the dependable sort but many find his empty gaze creepy. Silentstare was said to be cursed as a kit because of his albinism. His mother actually carried him into the wilderness and left him for dead. It’s said that the clan woke the next morning and found him in the center of camp with a bloody maw and paws. Some say he was possessed and led back to the camp. Some say his albinism isn’t a curse but a blessing. Silentstare has no recollection of it but his behaviour lends itself to that story.
Healers.
During times of illness and injury, they are the most important member of the clan, capable of pulling a cat back from the brink of death, or hastening it where necessary.
Name; open.
Apprentice. Olivepaw; a slender-built tortoiseshell molly with a split black and orange face and blue-green eyes. She is a clever and secretive cat, with a deep curiosity for plants and herbs. After Riptidestar successfully survived Cani's possession, he wanted revenge on the leader. So, he possessed Olivepaw, his daughter, when she decided to become a healer's apprentice as revenge on him and Shatteredclan. She is still relatively unaware that she has been possessed, only experiencing strange impulses and hearing a whisper in her head that she can only make out a few words of.
Shaman.
The spiritual leader of the clan, and someone who will speak with the Gods and beg for whatever the clan needs. Often the creature subject most often to becomming a vessel, which makes this position one of the most difficult in the clan.
Owlwing; A mostly fluffy white tom, Owlwing has a couple of distinctive dark brown patches of tabby markings across his back and all down his tail, as well as a patch on the top of his head with a single white line breaking it down the middle. His eyes are a dark forest green. Strong-willed, blunt and tolerant Owlwing has been possessed twice now by different Gods, first by Lepa and secondly by Thera. Neither of the experiences were in any way pleasant and he wouldn't really like to be possessed for a third time, but he understands it comes with the territory of being a shaman and doesn't much complain about it.
Apprentice. Ghostpaw; She's quite ghostly in color, with very pale faint gingerish grey stripes and rosette spots that you only see on her sides; while stripes appear on her focal points. Her fur is short, silky and tamed everywhere except her tail. She has always been quite small, with dainty paws and little features; except her eyes that shine like the blue moon. She is patient, open-minded and fidgety. Was found walking in from the fog, distraught and daze not knowing exactly who she was; even have forgotten the recent death of her mother. When she was found it had been determined that she was possessed by the god Juba, while unpleasant she of very few managed to escape his grasp with all three her sight, hearing and claws.

Warriors.
The type that makes up the majority of the clan, they hunt for the less able, and keep the vulnerable safe from that which might wish to harm them. Dusksong; a lanky, predominantly russet coloured warrior splashed with colours of black all across his form. His eyes are dark blue. Overconfident, bold and playful. Blackpoppy; a beautiful, athletic and tall midnight black shecat, with eyes of burning amber. She is brave, humorous but secretive.
Littleflower
Echoclaw; a slender white she-cat with a ginger tail and cap over her ears. her eyes are blue. She is pensive, cold, and selfish.
renaissance
Brambleflight; a large, thick-furred brown tabby tom with a white chest and blaze. he has yellow eyes. He is passive, skittish, and considerate. renaissance
Twistedfoot; a large, pure white tom cat with yellow eyes and a mangled, twisted rear paw. While a bit aloof, Twistedfoot is a loyal and dedicated warrior; however, he is a cold and distant father. As a young warrior, he made a sacrifice to Thera when his pregnant mate fell ill, for her and his kits to be made healthy. However, Thera disfigured his foot as his mate died giving birth as payment. Although his kits all lived, he became a cold and uninterested father, consumed with guilt after feeling like he caused his mate's death and accepting the new name "Twistedfoot" as a burden of his grief.
𝑓𝑜𝑥
Waspwing; a long-furred pale ginger tabby she-cat with light amber eyes. She is a proud, belligerent, and impatient warrior. Serpentfang; a skinny, longhaired white and black patched tom with burning amber eyes. He is idealistic, helpful and a bit timid. little blu ♥
Myrtlebloom; a black furred tortoiseshell with freckles of ginger and cream. She has bright green eyes and a white tipped tail. She is ambitious, confident, with a huge stubborn streak. little blu ♥
Geckospots; a muscular main coon tom with a thick russet coat with darker spots on his hips and feet. His ear tips, paws, and tail-tip grow significantly darker. He has light gray eyes. He is charming, dedicated, but has a short-temper. little blu ♥
Tinypuddle; As the name suggests, Tinypuddle is a lithe and undersized tom of mostly short blue-gray fur while all four of his paws are creamy white as is his chest and muzzle, while his eyes are bright amber. Ambitious, loyal and crafty.
ᏼꮖꭱꭰꭱꮖ🇳ꮐ
Silverscream; He's a lethal and lengthy snowy white tom with dark grey tabby marking; the actually only white you see on him is on his chest, muzzle and under belly. His fur is of short length but looks quite long due to it being quite thick with his tail being plump and feathery. He is quite fit and muscular which contrasts to his mysterious olive green eyes. He can be Secretive, Timid, Gentle. ♡ Bun ♡ Nightglow; She gets her name from her black and gold fur that resembles lights glowing in the dark night, she has short soft fur; with a single white patch on her chest. She is on the smaller side, with rounded ears and bright gold eyes. Mysterious, attentive, compassionate.
Apprentices.
Those in training to become warriors, shamans or healers for the clan, aged between 8 moons, and tend to be promoted to the appropriate posiion by their 15th moon, though it isn't unheard of to be earlier or sooner.
Frogpaw; a large, muscular tortoiseshell she-cat with green eyes, a white chest, and large white paws. She is eager, impulsive, and friendly.
renaissance
Nightpaw; an athletic, all black tom with yellow-green eyes and a black nose. He is charismatic and brave, bur can be reckless at times.
Nightpaw is a newcomer to Shatteredclan, only having "stumbled" out of the fog recently, as has yet to gain a full understanding of just how devastating the God's can be to the clan.
𝑓𝑜𝑥
Heathpaw; a handsome, dark brown tabby with a white underbelly, chest, and socks. He has a white patch over one eye and black ear-tips. Light blue eyes. He is adventurous, competitive but loyal to the core to those who get close to him.
Cinderpaw; An ashen gray short-furred she-cat with darker gray tabby markings streaking across her pelt. She has a white underbelly and chest and bright blue eyes, and an extremely overly fluffy tail. Energetic, troublesome, disobedient
ᏼꮖꭱꭰꭱꮖ🇳ꮐ
Moonpaw; A black she-cat with curly fur and white highlights under her amber eyes. Pessimistic, responsible, and stubborn. Having walked out of the mist after her brother she continued this pattern and follows him everywhere nitpicking. She however lives in fear of losing him that and her nightmares which seem to show her things that will come to pass. She is terrified that the gods will come for payment for the ‘gift’ they’ve given her. So she never speaks of it hoping if she never uses it she’ll never have to pay up.

Queens.
Shecats of the clan who have taken on the burden of becoming mothers to better the clan, an often uncertain role due to the dangers our clan live with, but necessary and well cared for.
Cloudcatcher; An elegant but small young pale grey tabby shecat, with creamy white stripes all over and pale green eyes. She is shy, nervous but sweet.
Littleflower
Darkwillow; a tall, lean built, dark silver spotted tabby she-cat with warm hazel eyes. She is independent, depressed and guarded. The molly was once possessed by Ursa during a battle with two badgers. Unfortunately, the god's bloodlust wasn't settled when the predators were killed and she ended up killing both her sister and her best friend, Kestrelflight. Then took her claws as payment for her "aid". little blu ♥
Faintlight; A white she-cat with faint, grey bengal spots that grow darker the further down her body they are. Shy and sweet, Faintlight is best known for her fearfulness. Abused by her old mate, Faintlight lived in more constant terror than the average Shatteredclan cat. One night when her mate, Stalkshadow, nearly beat her to death she ran for her life into the night. Stalkshadow gave chase. The clan found them the next morning, Stalkshadow dead with terrible wounds and Faintlight unconscious beside the toms corpse. Many believe her story that she was possessed by Ursa while others believe that either way the tom got what he deserved.
Kits.
The youngest members of our clan, and those right at the heart of it. The clan reveres its little ones, and tries its best to keep them as safe as possible from the strangeness that inhabits our day to day lives. Name; open. Elders.
Warriors, healers and shamans who have fought hard enough to survive long enough to reach the retirement age, not often is the elders den filled, but those within are treated with great care.
Hollowface; a tiny black tom with a white spot on his chest and white toes. he has no eyes, just empty sockets. they were amber. He is proud, independent, and irritable.
Though has never possessed, but met juba as an apprentice and was offered the strength of the greatest warrior in exchange for something he ''wouldn't even notice he was missing''. juba took his eyes and he got nothing, resulting in him retiring early. previously was named Shadepaw, but he requested it to be changed.

Plots and Subplots.
Once more there is word of rebellion spreading through the clan, among cats who have too long been slaves to the whims of the Gods overseeing them, they refrain from wandering into the fog, and the shamans are becoming experts slowly but surely in how to expel the Gods from unwilling bodies. We might have lost the last war, but this time we have new techniques we didn't have before, and much more to lose. However, the vengeful Gods are listening, and understand their cruel rule might soon come to a close, and wage a war against those trying to dethrone them. Possessions are coming far more common, and the ones who survive are left little more than shells of their former selves. And when a litter of kits is born to an unassuming mother, it appears that the Gods have fallen to a new low, and have no intentions of relenting their hold upon the most innocent in our clan, at least not without a price. And the price is our permanent obedience, by offering up some of our loved ones once and for all. Failing which, war returns to our land, before we have the chance to fight for ourselves once and for all. Relationships.

OOC: I worked very hard on this, so if its just me roleplaying with myself so be it!
Riptidestar. In Camp; with - Open @tags. The enormous creature which was Riptidestar, sat atop the high point, observing camp beyond him. A gentle breeze rustled through camp, catching in his dark fur and sending it blustering about him but the leader seemed unperturbed by the cold. The calm before the storm made flesh, as his dark eyes wandered carefully across the clearing. Morning was on the horizon, leaving the clearing bathed in the greys and purples of early dawn, and for the time being he was alone. Though he had no doubt soon enough the world would descend to the usual madness of morning, as the buzz of life slowly returned to camp. For now, however, the leader was content to enjoy the warmth of the early morning sun. No rush to hurry into the chaos of the morning ahead.
Blackpoppy. In Camp; with - Open @tags. The black furred shecat known as Blackpoppy lay curled up amid the moss, the stark contrast of her dark fur against the pale greens of her nest apparent even in the dim light of the warriors den. She was out like a light, after having spent a good portion of what should have been beauty sleep the day before on the dawn patrol. In sleep she found freedom from her aching bones, and would have skinned the first cat who dared wake her early alive. However, despite her arduous efforts the night before, Blackpoppy had always been quite the early bird. And her internal body clock awoke her far earlier than she'd have liked. She ruefully blinks her eyes open, burrying her face into her soft paws as she attempts to return to sleep, but found it impossible. The warrior grumbles, tenses her legs beneath her as she stands upright and departs from the warmth of the warriors den, blinking sleepily as she steps into the sun.
Dusksong.. In Camp; with - Open @tags. Weaving through the trees of the woodlands closest to camp, was the russet warrior Dusksong. His frame low to the ground, so the long grasses tickled his underbelly but he barely noticed. His eyes fixed upon a squirrel, nibbling on a pinecone - oblivious of the threat lingering only metres away. He pauses, coming within pouncing distance and waits for the perfect moment. Gathering his muscles and momentum beneath him as he waits to lunge, however, somewhere beyond in the forest there is the crack of a branch, alerting the squirrel who darts up the tree with the speed of a crack of lightning. Cursing inwardly, the warrior doesn't give up. Hurling himself at the tree, he ascends to the skyline within heartbeats. But the squirrel is long gone, hidden amid the greenery, Dusksong mutters to himself as he lunges from the lowest branch. Landing with a soft thud. "I swear Lepa, if that was you," he mutters to himself, tail lashing.
Cloudcatcher. In Camp; with - Open @tags. Sleepless had become the norm for the very pregnant Cloudcatcher, and finding the young queen collapsed from exhaustion about the camp had become common. Much to the distress of the healers, who insisted she needed to rest, much to the gentle queen's aggregation, for she would if she could. . But the fact she had ballooned up to twice her normal size in the depths of pregnancy, and it wasn't treating her very well, made her nights restless and uncomfortable. And the silver shecat could only hope her kits hurried along. An odd conflict, as part of her was also terrified for their arrival. Life wasn't easy in her clan, and part of her was terrified her innocent kittens wouldn't be strong enough for the lives they would lead. But all that made her was more protective, determined that hr family would survive, whatever it took.

OOC: That's exactly the kind of thing I was hoping for with this plot so that would be more than welcome, maybe they keep it at secret at first. Who would you want possessing them?
Thank you for bringing attention to the fact I entirely forgot to add the password, post your forms and I'll get that fixed. I trust you, so sorry for the inconvenience.

[ sounds great! i'll get to working on some forms now. it'd definitely be a secret at first, but you can definitely help me dedice who possesses her... i was thinking that Cani or Juba might fit well with that? also, as far as possessions work, could you explain to me a little how that works as far as rping a possessed character? also, can these gods posses more than one cat at a time? ]

( literally the only reason i haven't posted anything until now is because i couldn't find the password. ; - ; i re-read the whole page multiple times but i thought if i asked, it would make me sound suspicious... but this seems like a really fascinating idea. i'd love to be apart of it. i have free time today, so if you'd have me, i'd love to join ~ )

OOC: See that could be interesting if you are willing to go with me. Could the medicine cat apprentice potentially be a kit of Riptidestar, who was possessed by Cani before and was the only one to survive the experience, and notices the signs in his daughter/son?
I understand if not, just might be interesting/sad.
Roleplaying a possessed character, (you're all welcome to do it a different way if you'd prefer I wouldn't mind) is as though they have a second voice in their heads, a very persuasive one telling them what to do, like an earworm that's very difficult to stop talking to, and the further the possesion goes the more capable the God is at physically controlling them. So its easier for younger cats to become possessed.
This might all sound insane, I'm very aware. But I thought it could be cool
Gosh guys I feel like quite the idiot, and was so sad no one was joining. I'm really sorry!

[ i'm totally down for her being the kit of Riptidestar! that would be a very interesting dynamic for him to be the only one to be able to recognize it, and maybe have to take some drastic consequences if she gets out of hand. maybe she was possessed by Cani because he was angry that Riptidestar was able to survive the possession and wanted to take revenge by possessing his kit? ]

OOC: Exactly what I was thinking, that could be really cool! Riptide would be about old enough for a litter of apprentices, if anyone else would like to join that litter? but no pressure.
I'll be honest I'm panicking I'm doing a lot of things wrong.

( of course! and very true, humans will be human. c: i'll try and think up some characters, wish me luck. lol
edit: oh, maybe i'll make another kit of his?
also, little, you're doing just fine, hun! honestly, just take some deep breaths. i know starting a new clan can be stressful but you have a good group here, fox and ren are amazing role players and very kind, supportive people. they won't harmfully criticize or be cruel just to be cruel. we'll help you through it. <3 )

[ i know how stressful running a clan can be ! ♡ it's hard when you put your heart into something and then put it out there, and i know we always want our clans to do well, but don't worry about it too well. it looks amazing and the idea is incredibly original. ]
Name: Olivepaw (Olivemask) Description: a slender-built tortoiseshell molly with a split black and orange face and blue-green eyes. Personality: She is a clever and secretive cat, with a deep curiosity for plants and herbs. History: After Riptidestar successfully survived Cani's possession, he wanted revenge on the leader. So, he possessed Olivepaw, his daughter, when she decided to become a healer's apprentice as revenge on him and Shatterdclan. She is still relatively unaware that she has been possessed, only experiencing strange impulses and hearing a whisper in her head that she can only make out a few words of. Rank: Healer Apprentice Relationships: Her father is Riptidestar (open for siblings). Other: ♡ 𝑓𝑜𝑥 ⋆
Name: Twistedfoot Description: a large, pure white tom cat with yellow eyes and a mangled, twisted rear paw. Personality: While a bit aloof, Twistedfoot is a loyal and dedicated warrior; however, he is a cold and distant father. History: As a young warrior, he made a sacrifice to Thera when his pregnant mate fell ill, for her and his kits to be made healthy. However, Thera disfigured his foot as his mate died giving birth as payment. Although his kits all lived, he became a cold and uninterested father, consumed with guilt after feeling like he caused his mate's death and accepting the new name "Twistedfoot" as a burden of his grief. Rank: Warrior Relationships: Open to an older litter of kits (maybe Echoclaw?). Other: ♡ 𝑓𝑜𝑥 ⋆
Name: Waspwing Description: a long-furred pale ginger tabby she-cat with light amber eyes. Personality: She is a proud, belligerent, and impatient warrior. History: n/a Rank: Warrior Relationships: Open for parents and siblings. Other: ♡ 𝑓𝑜𝑥 ⋆
Name: Nightpaw (Nightstorm) Description: an athletic, all black tom with yellow-green eyes and a black nose. Personality: He is charismatic and brave, bur can be reckless at times. History: Nightpaw is a newcomer to Shatteredclan, only having "stumbled" out of the fog recently, as has yet to gain a full understanding of just how devastating the God's can be to the clan. [ let me know if this is okay! ] Rank: Apprentice Relationships: Not open to family as he wasn't born in the clan, but open for romantic interests. Other: ♡ 𝑓𝑜𝑥 ⋆
