The Pond: There is a pond on one of the borders where cats like to swim and fish. It is covered on the far side with lillypads and if you watch you can see frogs hopping around.
The Meadow: There is a large meadow in the territory that has a stream that runs through it. The prey is plentiful and so are the herbs. Lots of fresh catmint grows in the far corner and gives the whole feild a wonderful and intoxicating scent.
Warrior Oak- This is an oak tree near the Meadow that every new warrior places a scratch on when they have finished their warrior ceremony. The oak looks very gnarled because generations of warriors have scored it's bark during the tradition.

Those are interesting ones. especially the moon mushrooms. who's to say they aren't just hallucinogens? lol.
Pine is a tannish brown she-cat with amber eyes. She is smaller than the average cat and is an excellent hunter. She is typically a bit cheeky, which makes it difficult to tell whether she's being serious at times. She had a mate who died before the group left their old territory. She never had kits and still reminisces about her old mate.

Let's add our name to the end or something just in case. I should be able to remember my characters but a reminder would be nice.
I did forget to add in that Spider and Web are siblings.
I'm trying to decide some filler characters to make both camps a little bigger.

Alrighty. I'll work on that once I get home. I'll also add that in on spider and web. I'll probably be back on in like 2 to 3 hours.

Another Fighter/hunter Oak- She-cat with a sleek brown pelt that has markings that look like light filtering through the tree leaves and spotting her pelt. Is very serious and would be a great leader. She takes time to explore her options and how it may effect her group. She is sometimes quick to anger and is especially when it comes to the safety of young cats or the group as a whole.
And a couple of elders.
Palerose- A cream white cat with a fluffy tail. She also has a gray patch between her ears and down around her eyes. She has a black nose and gray patches on her torso and back legs as well as light gray socks. She also has a darker patch of fur on her chest snd bright green eyes. She is a quiet and happy cat and avoids conflict at all costs. She is gentle with kits.
Lichenheart- A dark gray tom with a few lighter stripes on his tail snd hind legs. His eyes are a deep green and alway have a hint of compassion in them. Some say he cares too much and that his kindness is taken advantage of. He hopes his kindness is paid forward and makes the world a better place

I'll add them once I'm done eating. I also thought that it'd make sense that at least one of the dens was a tree that got struck by lightning, which started a fire that hollowed the tree out.

That could be a good leaders den.
One of the camps could have a stream that turns into a little waterfall in the medicine cat den so they have fresh ester to use for the sick cats.

sounds good! Maybe the elder's den could be a natural cave created by an overhanging shelf with ferns and bracken used to make the outside wall.

Post by Mother Dark on Apr 11, 2021 15:58:35 GMT -5
Yeah that sounds good. We could use a Hawthorne bush for the nursery or something too

Yep! I'll get the camp locations set up and then we can figure out what we want the surrounding territory to be. Btw my computer is acting up so if I don't respond right away thats probably why. My browser keeps freezing and when I refresh the page I'm left with a blank page.

I was also thinking we could use a broken portion of the hollow tree for the back of the warrior's den with maybe some bracken and ferns for the walls like the elder's den. All that leaves is the apprentice's den.
I also added your other cats, added two of my own apprentices and added that spider and web are siblings as well as put our names at the end of the characters so we know who belongs to who.

Hoaw about a holly bush or a second overhang thats pess protected than the elders cave?
Sorry if I'm not very active its 2am here and I just woke up to talk to a friend in England before he went to work.

A holly bush sounds good, that leaves just the bracken and whatnot for the warriors den. Maybe the apprentices den could be something similar to the warriors den, but it's backed against the same wall that the elders den is against, but there isn't an overhang there, resulting in a mostly fern and bracken den.

(also you're good. It's 3 right now for me. I just have a crummy sleep schedule.)

Post by Mother Dark on Apr 12, 2021 1:57:55 GMT -5
Sounds good. I'm probably gonna come up with at least one more warrior to cover the apprentices we have and a couple of queens that could be pregnant with Waspbite's litters.

ok. I'm gonna make another warrior too so I can have the mother of Lion and Eagle, then maybe a hype man (cat?) for red that kinda just goes with whatever red does, kind of similar to darkstripe and tigerclaw's character dynamics. I'm also drawing a map type of thing that will hopefully make a pretty clear layout of camp. Obviously if we need to change anything we can, but this is just what I was picturing from what we have so far.

My handwriting and drawing is definitely not good by any means so if you have a question or can't read something let me know.

I do have a question but not about the map per say. Where are we thinking the leader will do meetings from? The overhang that ctrates the elders den?
|

Post by Fire the Watcher of the vale on Apr 12, 2021 10:17:56 GMT -5
I was thinking there or possibly the tree in the bottom left. At first I was just trying to fill space and I had a "wait a minute" moment.

Post by Mother Dark on Apr 12, 2021 10:42:10 GMT -5
Sounds good. The queens don't have to go far for meetings then.

Lol. Looks like it. Do you want to come up with the loner camp now or should we wing it and have them find/make a camp with the help of the clan?

Post by Mother Dark on Apr 12, 2021 11:14:04 GMT -5
Lets brainstorm a camp now.
|
|
|
Post by Fire the Watcher of the vale on Apr 12, 2021 11:19:40 GMT -5
Ok. We could use a bit different terrain for their camp, like make it close to a river or pond so they have reeds or in more of a grassland with Heather and maybe some dens made from rabbit holes.
|
|
|
Post by Mother Dark on Apr 12, 2021 11:33:49 GMT -5
I like the idea of it being based around a pond. One of the dens could be a willow that has reeds around the back to make a barrier
|
|
|
Post by Fire the Watcher of the vale on Apr 12, 2021 11:42:15 GMT -5
That sounds good. We could have one side of the camp against the pond to form a natural barrier.

Post by Mother Dark on Apr 12, 2021 11:51:16 GMT -5
Maybe an old fox den is used as the nursery and a big set of brambles for fighters/hunters?
|
|
|
Post by Fire the Watcher of the vale on Apr 12, 2021 11:55:26 GMT -5
Sounds good. We could have the to-be med cat's den be underneath the roots of the willow tree with reeds used to expand the size of the den to allow space for sick cats.

Post by Mother Dark on Apr 12, 2021 11:58:59 GMT -5
Sounds good. I should probably add them. And did you want the leader who dies to be my character or yours? Cause we could kill off my character Thymestar. Last time I killed him it was a fox attack and he lost 3 or 4 lives because of it. I had made him old and senile too.
