I N T R O D U C T I O N A thin layer of frost blanketed the camp, a sign of the incoming leafbare. Stepping out of the den, the grass crunched beneath the paw of a black tom and it sent a chilled shiver down his spine. Feeding his clan had already become difficult with the twolegs sudden appearance in the territory and now leafbare would only test their limits. How long would it take for them to starve?
How am I supposed to protect my Clan? The tom choked on the thought, remembering as his deputy had been torn from the clan in a heartbeat. The twoleg monsters had shifted a large boulder which Dovefur had been hiding behind. Before any cat could run to help her, the boulder crumpled in the monsters jaws, and Dovefur had been hit in the avalanche. At least it had been swift. The tom choked again.
His yellow eyes turned to the sunrise, a sense of dread wrung his heart, we have five more sunrises until the next full moon. The decision to leave his territory was looming overhead like a storm, preparing to break. The electrical tension made his chest tight, anxiety ran high in every cat, but what if he couldn't save them?
The great yellow monsters loomed nearby, he could feel the vibrations in the earth and he unsheathed his claws in a futile attempt to steady it, but it worsened. The earth's tremble turned into a deep shudder that almost knocked the tom from his paws, he stumbled forward and whipped his head around. Yellow eyes turned round as moons as he saw a monster eating rocks just outside the camp, looming closer.
"Wake up!" His voice was a shrill shriek, "We must run!" His black paws slapped the earth and he dove towards the dens.
StarClan! Please let us live!
A B O U T
This is a RP heavily inspired by the plot of 'The New Prophecy' in which the clans who lived side by side are now forced to join together and escape from their home, which is being destroyed by twolegs.
HeathClan is a moorland clan, used to the rocky moorland which sits at the base of a mountain.
BluffClan is at the edge of the moorland territory and they are based on the headland territory. Their territory is set near a steep cliff, with clumps of forest throughout.
For generations they lived in serenity hidden away at the base of the mountain. Twolegs were merely a kit-story that queens used to stop the kits from meandering too far from the camp. The clans lived alongside each other, wary of their borders and hostile when crossed, but otherwise they lived peacefully.
Things are different now...
R U L E S
▶ Please adhere to the forum rules which can be found here.
▶ Activity is important to any RP, however, we all have lives outside of the forums and sometimes time zones can make it so there is more time between replies. This is all totally fine I just ask that if you know you will be away for some time to please let me know so I can mark it down. Also, if you know you won't be able to post often (often meaning 'at least once a week'), please refrain from making a cat in an 'important role' such as a medicine cat or deputy.
▶ This RP is LGBTQ+ friendly.
▶ Whilst this may sound ironic given we are RPing warrior cats, please ensure you keep your character 'realistic'. No abnormal colours, no powers, no winning every fight.
▶ Literacy is something that I value BUT I want to encourage everyone to improve their skills! I would like a minimum of about 5 lines per post (more is preferable) but if you are newer to RPing and want to practice I encourage you to join to test your skills! (I won't bite, I swear Cx )
▶ Have fun! That is why we are all here. Please let me know if you would like to include your character in any specific plots or if you have any suggestions regarding anything else!

The Clans have existed at the base of the mountain for so long that the knowledge of how they settled has been lost; replaced by appreciation by the fact their ancestors had settled. They lived in an untouched piece of the world, free from twolegs, thunderpaths, monsters, and interference's of the like.
Humans always knew the area existed but now the land has turned into an investment: they want to turn the land into a 'luxury off-the-map getaway'. That is why they are tearing up the territories, although to the clans, all they know is that these twolegs appeared out of thin air and started wreaking havoc on their once untouched sanctuary.
The clans lived side by side, hostile when borders get crossed, but otherwise there isn't much animosity; just caution. Every moon the two clans would meet at a great boulder that marked the border between the two territories and they would discuss matters such as dangers, new apprentices, loss of life, or new life.
H E A T H C L A N - 🍃
Cats of the moor.
HeathClan cats are renowned for their agility, wit, and resourcefulness. At the base of the mountain, the moorland is scattered with rocks and it slopes downwards towards the headlands (and BluffClan territory). The cats usual hunting strengths lie in their ability to run across the moors, scale over boulders that jut out of the earth, and also the ability to hunt and travel within the tunnels under the moors.
HeathClan cats come in all different colours and pelt lengths but notoriously they are more lithe then they are muscular. However, there are some outliers who are more muscular then expected from a HeathClan cat.
Some traditions that are unique to HeathClan are the apprentice to warrior ceremonies, the newleaf feast and the half-moon chase.
Apprentice to Warrior Ceremonies: The apprentice must enter the moor tunnels at the top of the territory, in which the tunnels are most convoluted. They must travel through the tunnels until they reach the exit nearby the camp. It can be a dangerous task but it is a show of wits, tracking, and resourcefulness.
The Newleaf Feast As the leafbare chill drifts away from the moor the cats will engage in a feast, celebrating the season of new life.
The Half-Moon Chase A time for warriors to show off their skills, they race in the moonlight. They can choose to use the tunnels to their advantage or simply sprint over the moors. To win is an accomplishment, and the winner is often admired. B L U F F C L A N - 🌊
Cats of the headlands.
BluffClan is renowned for their dexterity, courage, and determination. Their territory stems off the moorland, it has sparse areas of bush land, but the territory ends with a steep cliff. To fall from the cliff would be instant death but the cats play with this fire as sea birds often nest by the headlands, so it requires much skill to catch these birds.
BluffClan cats come in various colours and pelt lengths but they are found more often to have muscular legs, allowing them to leap high into the air to catch sea birds as they leave the nests. However, there are outliers, and some cats can be born more lean and lithe then others. Their pelts are said to be beautiful thanks to the sea spray from the cliff side.
Some traditions that are unique to BluffClan are the apprentice to warrior ceremonies and the sea bird rush.
Apprentice to Warrior Ceremony Apprentices must do an 'obstacle' course near the cliffs edge. It is dangerous, but it is supposed to test their ability to think on their feet, step cautiously, and their dexterity.
The Sea Bird Rush Every newleaf the cliff is full of birds who are nesting with their chicks. The warriors and their apprentices will go and catch enough to feed the clan, and the day is remembered to be the one where cats finally have a full stomach after a long leafbare.

M A I N - P L O T
Despite living undisturbed for many generations, twolegs have started to invade the territories. Initially the clans thought they could hide and wait until the twolegs left but... it doesn't seem like they ever will. Prey has become scarce, the weather is becoming colder, and twoleg presence is only increasing, bringing nothing but destruction in their path.
HeathClan and BluffClan must unite if they are to survive. They have two options: leave the territories they call home... or perish.
T H E - J O U R N E Y
The only way for the clans to go is to the mountains. They are being sandwiched between the cliff and the twolegs, so they must leave the territories through the mountains. They travel blindly, not knowing what lies beyond the mountain territory nor if it will even be safe. If they clans manage to get through the mountains they'll find the other side turns into a valley that is covered by dense forest. While it is prey-rich, the cats feel uncomfortable being so confined. Not only that, a spout of heavy rain turns the earth to mush as the water from the mountains runs into the valley. They decide to proceed further in the hopes of finding more suitable territory.
Finally, on the other side of the valley the tight mountain walls open into a vast expanse of moorland. HeathClan cats are excited at the find, but BluffClan cats are hesitant as they have traveled away from the coastline and have now lost their beloved cliff side. The cats continue onward, following the same river that lead them through the valley. In the distance it appears there are peaks that extend out of the moor and BluffClan cats are hopeful that on the other side of the peaks could be an ocean, despite the lack of a sea salt scent in the air.
On the other side of the peak, the river starts to weave around large rock faces but there is no sign of an ocean. Admitting defeat, BluffClan decide they will find their home on the rocky riverside instead. The Clans must then decide on borders.S U B P L O T S
These subplots serve the purpose of giving everyone in the RP their own unique thing to do, rather then just having to wait for specific people to progress the 'main plot', you can also do your own side plot to keep things a little more interesting! Of course, I have listed a few ideas that you can claim but also if you have any ideas I encourage you to share them!
▶ As the journey sets off a she-cat, Muse A, realizes she is expecting kits. If the journey wasn't going to be hard before, it certainly will be now...
▶ An apprentice, Muse B, is ready to become a warrior but their ceremony is postponed as the clans uproot from the territories. Despite the seriousness of the situation they can't help feeling bitter about it, knowing that their younger peers will soon be made warriors despite not having to be an apprentice as long. Will this cause Muse B to make rash decisions?
▶ A cat, Muse C, is able bodied and extremely helpful in helping feed the clans. One wrong move in the mountains leads them to escaping death by a heartbeat, but they have broken one of their legs. How will they deal with the grief of it all, as well as still needing to continue the journey?
▶ Muse D is an elder who feels like a burden as they rely on not just their clan, but the other clan to keep them safe. They are no long able-bodied like they were when they were a warrior, so how will they fare on the journey?
▶ Muse E is a warrior from BluffClan who feels somewhat experienced to be trekking through the mountains due to their experience balancing on the cliffs. Muse F is a warrior from HeathClan who is having trouble adapting to the harsh terrain. Muse E saves Muse F from a close call with a rock slide, and the two begin to build a bond.
▶ Muse G is a clan cat who is a devoted to their clan. Muse H is a rogue who begins assisting the clans as they find their home, offering assistance through the strange terrains. Muse G thinks they shouldn't be taking advice from a cat who isn't clan born, but when Muse H helps them through a particularly difficult part of the journey their opinions change. When the rogue says goodbye, Muse G doesn't want them to go.
▶ Muse H and Muse I are rivals from the same clan and are both highly regarded warriors, who everyone knows are both wanting to become deputies. During the crisis they are forced to work together to bring safety to all.
▶ Suggest a plot you'd like to do with your character.

It is currently the beginning of leafbare (winter). Prey became scarce a long time ago when twolegs first started ravaging the territories but now with the cold season hunting has become a game of chance.
HeathClan are used to hunting large moor birds, rabbits, mice, and other small creatures. BluffClan are used to hunting sea birds, rabbits, mice, and other small creatures.
In the mountains they can hunt for large prey birds, snow hares, mice, voles, and occasionally smaller birds too.

I need to go to bed but if anyone sees this please give me your opinion lol:
MOORLAND CLAN: WoldClan (wold meaning 'a piece of high, open uncultivated land or moor.') HeathClan (heath meaning 'an area of open uncultivated land, typically on acid sandy soil, with characteristic vegetation of heather, gorse, and coarse grasses.') SprintClan (because they are notoriously fast) GaleClan (as in 'windclan' but different haha) or please suggest I'm not good at naming things
HEADLAND CLAN: CliffClan (as they are by the cliff) SprayClan (the sea spray from the ocean) CapeClan (cape synonymous with headland) RidgeClan BluffClan (bluff also synonymous with headland) or please suggest, again Cx

L E A D E R S 🍃 Jackdawstar Tom - Heterosexual - 63 moons aether HeathClan
[ Perceptive | Intuitive | Gentle ] [ Reference Photo ]Jackdawstar is a handsome long-haired tom with raven black fur. In the direct sunlight his pelt appears to have a reddish hue and his guard hairs are noticeable. The tom looks as though he is bulky but it is all coat, underneath he is thin and lean. He has a long, bushy tail and long black whiskers. He has large yellow eyes.
Jackdawstar struggles internally to do what he believes is right as he often struggles with the fear he could make the wrong decision that hurts his clan. That being said, once he makes a decision he sticks to it. He is a compassionate tom to his clan mates, a leader who would give his life to any if they needed saving. Generally Jackdawstar is quiet and observant, preferring to watch situations unfold and only step in when needed.

W A R R I O R S
🍃 Foxpounce Tom - Heterosexual - 34 Moons aether HeathClan
[ Hot-Headed | Brash | Charismatic ] [ Reference Photo ]Foxpounce is a lean tom of average height. He short coat has a coarse texture it and is ginger tabby with a white face, chest, paws, and tail tip. He has deep amber eyes and short whiskers. Foxpounce is quick on his feet and leaps impressively to catch moor birds.
Foxpounce is a rather complicated tom. At face value he is an aggressive and brash tom who is, frankly, unlikable. However deep inside he is frightened and this is only exacerbated by the twolegs destroying the territories. He can be gentle, rarely, and he shows his compassion in ways that aren't necessarily easy to understand.
Fernheart Molly - Bisexual - 20 Moons aether HeathClan
[ Chirpy | Empathetic | Selfless ] [ Reference Photo ]Fernheart is a small she-cat with a short, bushy tail, and thin legs. Her small stature can be deceiving as her agility is one to behold. The molly's short coat is kitten-soft and tortoiseshell in colour. She has a small patch of white on her chin. She has minty green eyes.
This young molly is gentle and trusting, probably too much so. She is very empathetic and this makes her a good listener when someone is down. During the Half-Moon Races she was there to cheer on those who trailed in last. Fernheart is a trusting cat and is easy to manipulate.
🌊 Featherfall Molly - Sexuality - 38 moons aether BluffClan
[ Aloof | Perceptive | Independent ] [ Reference Photo ]Featherfall is a large, muscular she-cat built who can leap impressively high using her powerful hind quarters. She has flowy long hair that is mostly a pale mottled grey but her chest and underbelly are a creamy white colour. She has very long whiskers and yellow-green eyes.
Featherfall is quiet and analytical. She doesn't accept praise and rarely gives it. Featherfall has good instincts but she takes a lot of time to watch the world around her to learn different sorts of details that would otherwise slip between the cracks if she didn't haven't the patience to find it. She is a good warrior to her clan but struggles with wanting her own independence.
Whiskerflick Tom - Heterosexual - 32 moons aether BluffClan
[ Comical | Endearing | Trustworthy ] [ Reference Photo ]Whiskerflick is an athletic tom with a short tabby brown coat. He has a handsome, narrow face and bright yellow eyes. Whiskerflick as a whole doesn't seem impressive but his hindlegs are noticeably powerful as he leaps into the air. He stands tall, and has a long tail.
Whiskerflick is a diligent tom. His upbeat, go-get-em attitude can be contagious and even when he or others makes a mistake he is quick to bounce back, offer support, and encourage them to try again. Generally he is good company; always one to joke around or listen without speaking to someone. However, Whiskerflick can be rather clueless when it comes to others being upset. He does not possess the ability to read others well when they are hiding their emotions, when someone might find themselves annoyed at him, he will not be aware unless they actively tell him so. Whiskerflick, although enthusiastic, is also rash. More than once has he narrowly avoided falling from a rock due to a poorly thought-out leap.

[ Skittish | Playful | Mindful ] [ Reference Photo ]Seapaw is an average-sized molly with medium-length fur. Her coat is a silver grey tabby in colour and her short tail is bushy. She has warm blue eyes. She is built with less strength to leap high into the air but much power to spring into chase.
Seapaw is a bright molly, chirpy and enthusiastic, while also smart and ambitious to learn. However, she is also skittish and easily frightened, which often leads to her embarrassing herself. Although playful, she is careful not to disturb her seniors..

Sagetail is a large weathered tom with a scarred muzzle and chipped ears. He has medium length white and dark tabby fur. The tabby part of his pelt is a brown-grey colour with black stripes. Sagetail has a lot of wispy guard-hairs and a bushy tail. He has green eyes.
A masterful fighter in his prime, Sagetail loves telling the story of how he once defended the camp from a coyote. He was a deputy before a sudden bout of greencough in the clan left him with asthma-like symptoms, forcing him to retire. Because of this he is well respected among his clan.

Bur Molly - Heterosexual - 43 moons aether Rogue
Bur is a lithe raven black molly with short, soft fur. She has pale green eyes and a short tail. She lives in the mountains is adapted to be swift and agile among the rocks. She has long white whiskers.
Bur has lived in solitary for most of her life, only finding herself in the company of passerby's who may travel through the mountains. She is used to this quiet lifestyle but is not opposed to guests when they stumble upon her homeland. She can get irritable when others do not heed her advice regarding the mountain, but it is only because she wants to help others.

Dovefur Molly - Bissexual - 52 moons aether HeathClan
[ Humble | Selfless | Spirited ] [ Reference Photo ]Dovefur is a muscular cat for a HeathClan member, with her muscles noticeable in each step until her long, smokey grey pelt. She stands tall and powerful, a worthy opponent in battle. She has large minty green eyes and long, white whiskers.
Dovefur was a popular choice of deputy in HeathClan as she was very friendly and charming. Despite being a popular cat, she remained humble.
Died to falling rocks by twolegs.
