Tempestclan: The Wild and Restless Open

Swiftleap watched as the gray tomcat hissed at her and fled over the border. "Good riddance," She called after him.

Shadowpaw approached her, somewhat meekly. He figured he'd get a tongue lashing for his cowardice, but Swiftleap just told him rather loudly, "We don't want any of them around."

Shadowpaw flattened his ears and bowed his head. He attempted to apologize. "I'm sorry..."

Swiftleap flicked an ear dismissively, but didn't say anything. She was bleeding from the rake in her side, but Shadowpaw looked fine - just a little stunned after being clouted by the stranger.

"Come on. Let's go home. And grab those comfrey roots, we'll need them. Wolfstar should hear about this."

As Sparrow entered the den with a thrush and a mouse, he set them down near Mystic and settled down beside her. “The moss is nice, thank you,” he mewed, feeling the slight spring under his paws. Mystic just nodded, grabbed the mouse, and began to eat. Sparrow continued, “I found a couple of cats today. They gave me an interesting fight.” Mystic glanced at him in surprise, “What if you were killed?!” Sparrow shook his head, “They wouldn’t have killed me, they just gave me a warning not to step into their territory again.” Then he began to clean up his wounds so that they wouldn’t get infected. Mystic finished up her mouse and settled down to continue her nap, while Sparrow began to enjoy the thrush.

(Hey thanks! If I wasn't on my phone I would probably have gotten a little more in-depth but you know how it goes ^^' )

(Btw you guys have a preference on who mentors your apprentice characters?)

Emberfall and Sleetwhisker shared tongues outside of the warriors den. The two chattering almost themselves about the daily life's of one another. As Emberfall kept glancing in Wolfstars direction Sleetwhisker finally got fed up with the calicos gazes. "maybe you should go say hi or something." Sleetwhisker, commented flicking her tail at the other warriors ear in amusement. 

In return Emberfall rolled her eyes at Sleetwhisker shoved her with her paw. "Oh shush you, maybe a border patrol would be good to gather." Was her response changing the subject immediately.

Pinewhisker walked into camp, a sparrow and mouse hanging from his jaws. It wasn't much but the tabby hoped he could help the clan in some ways. In all honesty he had ran across more prey in the territory but had failed to catch anything else. His small claim made much bigger as he waltsed into the clan camp.

Otterpaw and Marshpaw chattered amongst themselves outside of the apprentices den. Yet having any duties from their mentors, they easily slacked off. The siblings not giving a care for the world especially with their elder sister distracted.

(I don't have a preference! Someone who clashes with Shadowpaw's personality would work as well as someone who doesn't clash haha)

Swiftleap drew herself up. "Shadowpaw and I encountered one of those rogues on the border while gathering comfrey roots. Gray tom cat." She wrinkled her nose as she remembered the intruder. "He crossed the border and then was upset when we - well, I - attacked him." She gave a slightly disdainful look at Shadowpaw, who was sitting beside her. The apprentice shrunk away from her look, almost like he was trying melt into Swiftleap's... well, shadow. "Shadowpaw wasn't much help. I fought the rogue off by myself while Shadowpaw hid in the bushes." Then, the medicine cat's yellow gaze returned to the leader. "The rogue acted like he didn't know what a clan was, or what a border was, but I'm disinclined to believe that. He was probably a spy who played dumb once caught. He fought like had been trained by someone else... I'd say he didn't have the honor or nobility of a warrior, but maybe the skills of one." She tilted her head to one side and waited for what Wolfstar had to say.

(Bump)

"Thank you, Wolfstar." Swiftleap retreated and nodded to Shadowpaw. The apprentice followed meekly behind the medicine cat as he brought the comfrey roots back to her den.

Swiftleap dismissed Shadowpaw and promptly shoved him outside the den door. The black-furred apprentice sat there in the dirt for a moment, before moving to the fresh-kill pile.

Name: Creekpaw
Description: Creekpaw has a vibrant brown coat with darker tabby markings on him. He's slim, and a bit small for a tom, but his paws are just a bit large in comparison to the rest of him. His eyes are amber, like his brothers. There is a small patch of white on his chest that used to be a near perfect triangle, but it has gotten oddly smaller as he has grown up. 
Age: 10 moons
Personality: Creekpaw is very active and excitable. He also tends to be empathetic, but often speaks without thinking, which does not work in his favor. He has a strong sense of purpose, but can sometimes lack motivation. While he almost never acts out of malice, he doesn't always think about the consequences of an action before he takes it, which can lead him to negative outcomes.
Rank: Apprentice
Crush: N/A
Mates: N/A
Family: His littermates are Duskpaw and Deerpaw, and Hawkstep is his older sibling. His mother is Honeyleaf, while his father Whiskerspring has joined Starclan.
Background: Clan-born 
Screen Name: duck

Name: Duskpaw
Description: Duskpaw's coat is, like his name, a dusky shade of brown. He has tabby markings along his fur, but the coloring of them is so similar to the rest of his pelt that they are hard to see from far away, and still a bit faint up close. His eyes are a deep amber, and out of his littermates, he is the largest.
Age: 10 moons
Personality: Duskpaw is rather friendly by nature, but is a little withdrawn, and isn't usually the first to approach somebody. However, he is incredibly loyal, and will do his best to act in the interest of his friends and family first, and the general good second. He also tends a little towards anxiety, and will catastrophize when things seem like they are going wrong.

Name: Deerpaw
Description: Deerpaw's coat is nearly solid brown, but she does have black dots on her haunches and down her back legs. While her body itself is a little small, her legs are longer, and she is very lithe for her age. Her ears are also just a bit large for her body. Unlike her siblings, her eyes are a slightly dulled green color.
Age: 10 moons
Personality: Deerpaw is friendly, but also observant. She tends to watch and observe a situation before she puts herself in it, so that she is best armed to deal with it. As a result, she learns a lot before she goes into a situation. However, this leads her to a bit of hubris, as she often thinks herself the smartest cat in the room, and isn't always willing to accept the truth if she didn't think of it first.

Name: Hawkstep
Description: Hawkstep is a dark brown tabby, with a white stomach and white paws. The tip of his tail is a darker color than the rest of his body, almost as if the fur was perpetually wet. Like his younger brothers, he has amber eyes, but his are several shades lighter than the other two are. He's built strong and hardy.
Age: 21 moons
Personality: Hawkstep is very logical and thought driven. He has become more withdrawn since his father died in a battle with a fox. It has weighed heavier on him than his siblings as he was older at the time and was present at the attack, leaving him with survivior's guilt. He thinks before he speaks and often has good wisdom to offer, but can be a bit oblivious to emotions, whether it's his own or somebody else's.

Description: Honeyleaf's has a light brown, almost cream-colored, coat with dusky tabby markings. Her paws are a shade of gray that looks as if she actually had white paws, but they were always a little dirty. Honeyleaf is a bit slim compared to other she-cats, but not smaller than average. She has amber eyes, and ears that are large for her head, similar to her daughter.
Age: 173 moons
Personality: Honeyleaf is gentle and loving, which is not unexpected of queens. She was a warrior for several moons before having kits, but once she delivered her first litter, she joined the queen's den and helped raise kits alongside her own, nursing when other mothers couldn't in whatever capacity. Since her mate died, she became a bit more withdrawn. She has retired to the Elder's Den, as she was reaching a high age and wouldn't be having any more kits on account of her mate's passing.

[drama llama! hi guys! as a note, i gave my characters parents, but if anybody wants to be their siblings, i'd be open if anybody wanted their characters to be littermates with Hawkstep or from a litter before him!]

(Hi guys! Glad you’re here!)

Waking up from her nap, Mystic turned her head to find the shallow spot where Sparrow had rested. She sighed and cleaned the moss bits out of her fur before stepping out into the damp forest. She picked up the faint scent of her brother heading in the direction they had come from about half a moon before. Following the scent, she found Sparrow sitting up in a sparse pine tree. Mystic leapt up beside him and followed his gaze. It was the direction they had come from, a lake was located in the distance. “Why are you here?” she asked, not taking her gaze from the view.

Sparrow turned as his sister joined him. “Oh, I just feel that we passed something back by the lake. Maybe we should have stayed there,” he replied, wincing as she rolled her eyes. “Yeah, like we need more water,” she mewed, leaping back down to the ground. “I’m serious! I think we should go back there, or I could if you don’t want to,” Sparrow pried, following after her like a whining kit. Mystic just ignored him and trotted back towards the den. “Please think about it, Mystic?” he asked, hoping she would. “Fine,” she mewed stubbornly, entering the den. Sparrow grinned and sat outside, searching the forest for any signs of prey.

(Bump)

(Sorry I have been super busy with work and just got promoted at work. It's been a stressful couple of weeks!!)

Otterpaw looked over to Rainpaw pondering her question. 'I mean typically between myself and Marshpaw." She clarified but upon the apprentice bringing up between the warriors now she was really curious. "Out of the warriors though, who do you think is the best?" She asked curiously. Extending the conversation from a petty sibling discussion to more.

(Omg I joined twice )
