INTRODUCTION
| ABOUT |
_________________
Welcome to the main page for CreekClan! CreekClan operates much like a typical Warriors rp with two notable distinctions: first, the clan interacts with a'NPC border clan called RidgeClan. Having border clans adds to the narrative potential for Warriors rps. However, when these border clans are actual rped clans, the rps often die and it is rather difficult to create tension. With a NPC clan, CreekClan members can control the actions of RidgeClan so they suit the narrative; and it's easier to have battles, forbbidden romances, and much of the spice that interclan relations allow. CreekClan members can create RidgeClan characters which can be used as background characters at gatherings and in interclan events such as border skirmishes, clan-hopping, and other drama.
Secondarily, CreekClan has a main narrative plot thread which will direct confrontation and drama in the clan. The exact plot will be extrapolated in the "current plots" section, but it centers around the former deputy of CreekClan starting an uprising against the current leader because the leader is a bit of a warmonger and threat to the welfare of her clanmates. Many cats in the clan sided with the deputy, including the medicine cat. The deputy was sent to the Dark Forest, perhaps unfairly, and several well-respected warriors were exiled. There is also tension between CreekClan and RidgeClan because of increasing border skirmishes and CreekClan staking claim to a hotly disputed portion of territory.
CreekClan is a casual rp; members of any writing level can join. However, I want it to be an opportunity for all of us to improve our writing ability, so try and match the post-length of your peers. Ideally, posts should be about a paragraph long but can be longer or shorter depending on the context.
| CURRENT PLOTS |
_________________
Darkfeather's RebellionThree moons before the start of the RP, the young and well-loved deputy of CreekClan staged a coup against the sitting leader, Minkstar. Minkstar has been aggressively trying to prove CreekClan's strength by pushing into RidgeClan territory and instigating unnecessary conflict. She is often hostile towards her own clanmates, refusing to take advice and ordering apprentices to take part in harsher battle training. Punishments are frequent but loyalty to her is rewarded well. Darkfeather's rebellion was organized so violence would be minimized. The rebels were supossed to kill Minkstar, who they believed was on her last life, so that it looked like an accident. However, Minkstar lied to Darkfeather about the number of lives she had left because she is trait paranoid. She rebellion failed and became violent. Minkstar captured Darkfeather and killed him as an example to the clan, and exiled the cats that helped him kill her. Because Darkfeather was so loved, and Minkstar so controversial within the clan, many cats were horrified by her handling of the situation and secretly support Darkfeather. The embers of rebellion still burn.
The Medicine Cat's Revenge The medicine cat of CreekClan, Mysticfeather, loved Darkfeather and has been driven mad by his public execution. Rather than sharing with StarClan, they now have become entrenched in the Dark Forest and are determined that Minkstar and perhaps all of CreekClan suffer for what they did. The medicine cat is currently working with Owlwood and [OPEN], supporters of Darkfeather's rebellion or perhaps simply agents of chaos, to enact their revenge. Children of the Stars
A prophecy was given to Mysticfeather which was not shared with the rest of the clan. It refers to three kits, born to Icysky and sired by [open RidgeClan cat], a RidgeClan warrior. Their half-clan identity is too kept a secret. Each kit has a unique role to play in the future of their clan, but right now they're more interested in playing moss ball than saving the world. [ refers to Fringekit, Aspenkit, and Nimbuskit ] Interpersonal plots Please feel free to come up with your own plot ideas! However, to get us started, here are some claimable interpersonal plots that you can hop into if interested. Just mention your interest in one and claim one of the muses to get involved.
a sibling rivalry - muse a and muse b have been rivals since the moment they first took a breath of air. something about one another has always inherintly driven the other crazy and vise versa. the clan has dealt with their spats and competitions for seasons, each cat trying to prove that they are the "alpha" sibling. however, muse c, their third sibling and the middle ground between the two - the peace keeper normally, has fallen ill/gotten injured in a patrol and now the two have to get along without them?
BOTH OPEN
childhood crush - oh young love. the feeling of butterflies and flushed ears. but then those youngsters grow up and the sweet little crush turns into something much more... muse a has been in love with muse b since their apprenticeship. they know that their friend has always been oblivious to their feelings but secretly hope that now that they're both warriors muse b will finally return their affections.
BOTH OPEN
into the woods - there's a ghost in the woods. the ghost of Crookedsmile, the "scariest" warrior to ever live. the apprentices are 99.9% sure that there's a monster out there and they tell horrific stories to try and scare one another. muse a and their friend group (muse b, c, d, and e) are determined to try and hunt down this ghost and make the forest safe again! which means sneaking out of camp at night... in the dark! horrifying, i know.
ALWAYS OPEN
old cats and new tricks - muse a is an elder that's not quite ready to be retired. they try and help out in any way they can, volunteering to go out on patrols, helping with chores, and basically ignoring their general health. muse b is an elder who's enjoying their retirement and doesn't understand muse b's need to prove themselves. when muse a gets injured trying to hunt by themselves, the medicine cat and leader ask muse b to help muse a adjust to being an elder. will love blossom between the two?
BOTH OPEN
best friends - friendship means a lot within the clan and muse a and b are the best of friends. they don't really socialize outside of each other, which their clan mates have begun to notice. they end up having a fight and realize how isolated they had made themselves. muse a and b will have to make new friends while trying to reconcile their friendship.
BOTH OPEN
not broken - a barren molly who wants nothing more than to be a queen. muse a has longed for kittens her whole life but is unfertile. this caused her to close herself off from toms romantically, believing that no one would want her when she couldn't have children. now as a senior warrior, muse a has completely given up on her dream. until muse b walks into her life and tries to get her to understand that he doesn't need to have kits to love her. then some rogue kittens appear in the territory?
BOTH OPEN
mentorship - muse a was in no way prepared to be a mentor! this is a terrifying experience. muse b, their apprentice, is relying on them and that's a big task. how will the reluctant teacher manage to deepen a relationship with their ward?
BOTH OPEN
troubled youth - muse a is what one would call troubled. no mentor wanted to be assigned to them, honestly. they were angry and hostile for reasons that no one else could seem to understand. muse b was the lucky warrior to be assigned the task and they're no quitter. there has to be a soft, hurting young feline under all that rage and they're going to be the one to find it and nurture it.
BOTH OPEN

CREEKCLAN
| TERRITORY |
_________________
Reference images for the territory and landmarks are linked, and indicated by bolded and underlined text. CreekClan is located within a dense pine forest situated within a mountain valley. It is bordered on the south side by the base of two conjoined mountains, and on the north side by a steep rocky incline which breaks the forest. To the east the forest continues, but the valley narrows and the border is drawn at a fast-moving crick. To the west, the territory is bordered by RidgeClan territory with the border itself being a wide but shallow creek. CreekClan territory is littered with water features, primary creeks and small waterfalls, hence their name. There are several more significant falls, including one that the CreekClan camp is located behind. LANDMARKS 1. The Meadow - A small meadow which breaks up the forest. Long-grass and often flowers. Mice and small rodents can be caught there. 2. The Ivy Hollow - a rocky dip in the forest next to a wide, shallow, slow-moving part of a creek with rockfaces and much of the ground covered in a soft coat of ferns and ivy. Used as a training location because of the soft ground and the many different features (trees, rock faces, water, and grass). 3. The Moon River - a stream with unusually blue water which flows through the territory 4. The Deerhoof Path - An unusual landmark which is almost cave-like, located where a hill slopes down to meet the valley, except the cave is open at both ends and that there are large, circular openings in the cavern. It's called the deerhoof path because, as legend goes, giant deer once roamed the territory and the holes were created by their hooves breaking through the rock. 5. The Lion's Paw - A hotly contested strip of land. The river which creates the border between CreekClan and RidgeClan is primarily straight, which is why it was chosen for the border. However, the river temporarily veers into RidgeClan territory, creating a peninsula dubbed the Lion's Paw because it is large and kind of paw shaped. CreekClan and Ridgeclan squabble over this territory because it is on the CreekClan side of the river, however, if the border was thought to be a straight line following the path of the river, the territory would fall on the RidgeClan side of this line. RidgeClan also stakes claim to it because they believe, because their territory is less plentiful, they need it more than CreekClan does.
WATERFALLS 6. Icestar's Fall - a large waterfall located in the south of the territory; dangerous, cats, included a beloved leader named Icestar, have died fishing there and it is to be avoided. 7. The Camp Waterfall - The waterfall which the cave that houses the CreekClan camp is behind. A more gentle waterfall, which drops into a peaceful pool and a wide, slow river. 8. The Tail Feather - A fan waterfall near the Lake on the CreekClan side of the border, which is fed by the Lake. 9. The Eagle's Nest - Another tall waterfall; should be avoided by young cats but is gentle enough to be fished from. Has multiple smaller falls. BORDERS
10. The RidgeClan Border - a slow moving river
NEUTRAL TERRITORY11. The Lake - a large lake which marks the center of the territories 12. The Violet River - A clearing right to the south of the Lake, perfectly in between the CreekClan and RidgeClan territories, which is filled with a unique species of mothly night-blooming flowers of a beautiful violet hue. They bloom on the night of the full moon. Where the gathering takes place. The leaders crouch on the Great Tree, an ancient wistera tree with low branches. Called the violet river because, when the flowers are blooming, they like a purple sea. 13. The Moonpond - A fan waterfall at the base of the mountains, in between the two territories where the base of the mountains meet, feeds this large and beautiful pond. It is where medicine cats meet to commune with StarClan.
| CAMP |
_________________
The CreekClan camp is located in a cave behind a waterfall. The dens are located in side caverns located off the main cave. The cave slopes upwards, with the back of the cave eventually closing together in crevice which is the leaders den. Because of the slope of the cave, spray from the waterfall collects at the caves mouth and the part of the cave where the cats live remains dry. Cats exit the camp by crawling along mossy paths on either side of the waterfall. Large rocks have been placed at the mouth of the cave to stop kits from falling into the pool below. There are small scattered stalactites hanging from the ceiling of the cave. The leader addresses the clan from a ledge jutting out near the warrior cats den, called the High Ledge.
DENS
The leaders den - A crevice at the very back of the cave, located at a higher point than the rest of the camp. Must be jumped into.
The medicine cat's den - The largest den in the cavern, it is in a tall tributary cavern off the east wall which branches off from the main cavern. Water drips through the ceiling into a pool at the back of the cave; a single large stalactite hangs over the pool and many smaller ones dip from the ceiling. There are dips in the side of the cavern wall, carved by water over time, in which the medicine cat stores herbs.
The warriors den - A smaller cave located high in the side of the west wall of camp, must be jumped into. The entrance is large, allowing more than one warrior to enter and exit at a time.
The apprentices den - A crack in the side of the west wall next to the warriors den; the entrance is small but it opens up into a spacious cavern.
The nursery - A crack near the entrance to the tributary cave which makes up the medicine cats den. Like the apprentices den, the entrance is small but it opens up inside.
The elders den - The den closest to the front of the cave, it is located on the eastern cave wall and is really just a large 'hole' in the wall which creates an overhang which moss has grown on so much that it has created a mossy curtain which drops to the ground. The elders nests are located in the space behind this moss curtain.

RIDGECLAN
| ABOUT RIDGECLAN |
_________________
RidgeClan is the sister clan to CreekClan; they were founded at the same time, and have been at times both allies and fierce rivals. The territory of RidgeClan is harsher than the fertile forests of CreekClan. RidgeClan territory is steeper and rockier than CreekClan's, with more sparse tree-cover and frequent stone outcrops. Their higher elevation allows for some beautiful views, though. Because of their severe territory, RidgeClan has a reputation for having crass, difficult, and withdrawn personalities. They're viewed as more defensive than aggressive. Meanwhile, they view CreekClan as soft and lazy because CreekClan territory is luscious comparatively. Like CreekClan, RidgeClan cats are fishers, which leads to some squabbling over shared commons such as the lake and the border river.
Sloestar, the current leader of RidgeClan, is serious and reserved. He would rather not fight with CreekClan, and is exhasperated by Minkstar's warmongering. He had met in secret with Darkfeather and offered support to the tom's rebellion, which only fanned the flames of Minkstar's anger and paranoia. The deputy of RidgeClan, Thistlejaw, is an aggressive foil to Sloestar and is battle-happy, often going toe-to-toe with Minkstar and is determined to defend her clan. Gatherings have become tense lately.
| TERRITORY |
_________________
The RidgeClan camp is located on a rocky outcropping which over-looks the territories. It is in a pragmatic position to defend against invasion, because it is difficult to hide when approaching it. The dens are hidden in crags between rocks or under thorny bushes. There are a spattering of evergreen trees nearby that provide shade and some cover.
More landmarks will be added as the clan lore is expanded.

HISTORY
| STORIES |
_________________
THE ORIGIN OF THE CLANS
It is said that CreekClan and RidgeClan were started when two rogues from far away received identical mystical visions from their ancestors. Knowing their destiny, they recruited fellow rogues and traveled for moons to reach what is now CreekClan and RidgeClan territory. Their dreams led them to divide into two clans, and to nominate medicine cats to commune with and interpret signs from their ancestors. CreekClan cats were to live in the deep forest and RidgeClan cats on the rocky outcrops. The leaders of these clans, known only by their leader names, Creekstar and Ridgestar, as their rogue names have been lost to time, are said to occasionally visit medicine cats in times of dire need. More stories can be added as we develop lore for the clan!
| RECENT EVENTS |
_________________
Darkfeather's rebellion started three moons ago. Whitewillow, Otterbite, [open] and [open] were exiled. Icysky's kits, Fringekit, Nimbuskit, and Aspenkit were born a few days later.
Mysticfeather began visiting with Darkfeather in their dreams two moons ago. They were given a prophecy, which, currently unbeknown to them, refers to Icysky's kits. They have not shared this prophecy with the clan.

| RULES |
_________________
1. Obligatory "please follow the forum rules" rule. I would rather we not get deleted.
2. Obligatory no god-modding, power-playing, etc. Don't be a jerk.
3. Please follow cat genetics to the extent that the book series does. Kits should look like their parents, but you can spice it up a bit. Cat's that shouldn't be able to have blue eyes can have blue eyes. Go wild with what kind of tabby patterns you give your cats. The only rule is that cats should look like real cats - so, no weird coat patterns unless you can provide a real-cat reference for it and no strange markings/eye-colors/features/powers. So no pink cats with wings who can shoot lasers from their eyes.
4. Please try and keep names realistic for where the cats live. So, no Penguinfur or Palmface because there aren't any penguins nor palm trees in the territory. I'm going to be pretty lenient with this rule just don't... ya know... take it too far.
5. There's no activity rule, idc, just don't join and leave without posting anything. If there's a lull in RPing for a while that's ok, I'm aight with this, everyone here has a life.
6. I expect people who join this clan to be able to write at least a paragraph long posts. They don't have to be artful or story-length or anything, but they just have to be long enough to give someone enough to respond to. Occasional one-line posts are ok, if they fit the situation! I trust ya'll's judgement

 camp;
calling a clan meeting;
The ghosts of treachery writhed through camp like a den of snakes, or perhaps vines come to life. Minkstar could feel them now, twisting around her legs. If she looked down, she was sure his face would be there. Pale golden eyes. The same ones she had seen lean so close to her face on that tragic day. The same ones she had stared into while he bit out her throat. Darkfeatherโs legacy haunted these caves. He was in the lingering gazes of her clanmates, caught on her frame as if they were rolling that wonderful, terrible event around in their minds. Replaying the moment where Minkstar thrust Darkfeather onto a spine. It was an example. He deserved it. She did not regret her decision; she only regretted letting the other traitors walk away from it. The ones who had watched as the dark tabby betrayed her. He was her deputy. He was her mistake. She righted it, just as she would right the legacy of Creekclan.
The she-cat scanned the camp, gaze hovering on the warriors which ghosted through the caverns, entering and exiting them to visit friends, find apprentices, ask Cricketpaw if she could pull a sharp rock from their paw. Minkstarโs deputy was outโฆ somewhere, so it fell on her to arrange patrols.
Her voice rang out over the camp, โAll cats who can hear me, gather beneath the High Ledge for a clan meetingโ.
Minkstar's claws scraped against the dark silver rock as she waited.
Meteorpaw and Cypressbark both emerged from their dens, taking a seat near the base of the rock.
_____________________________________________________________________________
Notes:
OPEN, ALL  outside of camp;
open;
It was easy enough to get out of camp. Fringekit would argue it was too easy. Way too easy. Did you even see her leave? Probably not. Sheโs quiet like that. Everyone is too caught up in their thoughts to even bother with her. They probably should be, though. Sheโs been tripped on more than once. Which wasnโt her fault. If she gets underfoot itโs only because no one is watching where theyโre walking.
Anyways. Fringekit has made it out of camp. Her small paws may not be practiced, but itโs easier to find paw-holds when you have small paws. The steady flow of water over the camp waterfall had eroded many little holes that Fringekit could hop between. The moss was slippery, more slippery than the rocks, even, can you imagine, so she avoided it. The water below she too avoided. She didnโt know if she knew how to swim yet. Meteorpaw said she was born with the instinct, but Fringekit wasnโt so sure about that. It looked deep and dark and scary and Starlingcaw had definitely told her more than one story about big strong cats, leaders even, who drowned, so she was definitely avoiding the water too.
The tiny she-cat shook water droplets out of her fur and continued her trek, scrambling down the rock face until she was level with the water and perched on a large rock. Everything looked so big out here. Adventure was in her paws.

Notes:
xxx  ridgeclan border;
open;
The sun hovered lazily over CreekClan territory. Irisnose had left early that morning at the head of the dawn patrol. They were to mark the border with RidgeClan and loop back following the Moon River, which marked roughly the center of CreekClan territory. Minkstar was bothered by the RidgeClan border much more than the Eastern one. Rouges did not often visit the territory, and those who did usually passed through swiftly. CreekClan territory is large. Sometimes the rouges had left before CreekClan even noticed they were there. Regardless, Irisnose was leading a small back of warriors along what was apparently the only border that mattered.
Minkstar had been explicit with her that morning. The patrol was to move the border at the Lionโs Paw one tail length further into RidgeClan territory. It was not an open declaration of war - Minkstar was not yelling it on the border โ but it seemed that much to Irisnose. She was terrified.
โShould we stop and hunt for a bit before moving on?โ the she-cat called back to the cats who had joined her. Truth is, Irisnose was not interested at all in hunting. Newleaf was upon them and prey was plentiful. She was procrastinating.

Cricketpaw perked her ears up as she heard Minkstar call a meeting.I wonder what the meeting will be about. She wondered in anticipation. She padded out of the den and sat down next to Meteorpaw and Cypressbark. She started to groom herself and then turned to Meteorpaw. "What do you think the meeting is going to be about?" she whispered to the apprentice as she stared up at their leader.

 camp;
with cricketpaw;
The cave was washed in dappled blue lights; flickers constantly shifting as water cascading in front of the mouth of camp. Meteorpawโs silver fur looked almost aqua. He widened his jaws in a yawn, only half paying attention to the meeting before Cricketpaw acknowledged him. Mind still hazy from sleep, Meteorpaw blinked at her for a second before he realized the young medicine cat apprentice was talking to him. He smiled, in the mysterious way cats smile, at her.
โOh. Um. I donโt knowโ, his response was relaxed, albeit whispered and almost lost under the thunder of the waterfall. โProbably patrols.โ
The tom paused for a second. He liked Cricketpaw. Trusted her, too. Granted, it was not too hard to win Meteorpawโs trust. He gave trust our like one gives our participation prizes. Tensions ran high in the clan after Darkfeatherโs rebellion, but mistrust seemed unnatural to the young apprentice. It took too much energy. โI hope she doesnโt pick me. Patrolling has beenโฆ weirdโฆ recently. You know?โ
โAnyways, whatโs your day look like, Cricketpawโ, he meowed, โAny herbs need to be gathered?โ

Cricketpaw nodded as he responded. "I might need to gather more dock leaves, and We're running a tad bit low on watermint." She respnded as she started to groom her pelt again. "If you do get picked to go on a patrol, I could always go with you," She suggested to the tom. "I might be able to collect some herbs while i'm out anyway." She meowed, half talking to herself.

R U N N I N G S T O R M in camp, unaccompanied
Runningstorm knew one thing to be true.
When the first whisperings of Darkfeatherโs rebellion began, he had done his best to ignore them. He had seen the unease that Minkstar created, and felt it with each battle that left them bloodied and embarrassed, but still, he turned his back to them. Instead, he told himself, โthere is nothing that you can do,โ and perhaps that was true. He wasnโt particularly skilled or intelligent, but he knewโhe knew, as soon as the first drop of blood had been spilledโthat this was not why he had rejected the rebellion.
He was a coward.
He said nothing.
He did nothing.
He continued to do nothing, even now.
Staring up at Minkstar, Runningstorm felt his insides begin to twist. Ever since Darkfeatherโs death, he hadnโt been able to look at her without feeling something, be it a pain behind his eyes, or heat on the back of his neck. At first, he didnโt know what caused the sensationโfear, of course, but there was something elseโsomething thatโฆ felt familiar.
Guilt.
A guilt so great that it made his legs tremble.
Swallowing, he turned his eyes onto the ground. The stone was damp and cold with mist, and a chill ran up the length of his legs as he sat in silence, waiting to hear what their leader had to say. Just as always, he did nothingโonly this time, he felt sick.
