Introduction You could feel it in your bones, today was the day. It was time. Though your joints didn't work like they used to, you pushed yourself up to your paws, casting a faint smile at the soft snores of the felines that rested all around you. The dawn had barely settled over the horizon, casting the whole camp in shadow as you limped from the comfort of your nesting area out into the central clearing. Not another cat stirred and yet, you couldn't help but pause, letting your weary limbs rest for a moment against the sand beneath your paws.
Memories of your first night under these stars brought a grin to your muzzle. Seasons spent playing and hunting with your clan-mate at your side. Battles won and some lost, excitement and peace, followed by days of grief and strife. Learning lessons and making countless mistakes. Feeling the first dose of pure love and the brutal sting of heartbreak. Watching friends come and go, clinging to the ones that remain constant. Days spent patrolling and mentoring, nights spent sharing-tongues and bonding with your precious clan mates.
Yes, you'd lived a mighty full life. A sense of peace so profound that it is impossible to put into words settles over you. Trotting slowly out of the camp, you let the ocean breeze ruffle your fur for the last time. Your footprints leave divots in the sand as you trail towards the water - eyeing the beautiful blue waves. It was time to come home. Your last thought was a prayer of thanks to StarClan that you'd been born into CoastalClan.
From the water life comes and to the water all life will return. It's time for a younger generation's story. Welcome to CoastalClan.

Therefore, cats are usually shorter to medium furred with sleek coats that help them cut more easily through the water. This of course isn't always the case but due to the high temperatures nearly all year round, it does make having long coats a bit uncomfortable at times. Thicker pelts can be useful against cold water, however. Cats are normally lean and agile, used to swimming nearly every day and running over dunes. CoastalClan cats pelts differ in colors and patterns, though pitch black pelts tend to be rarer on the island.
Our ranking system is a bit different from that of the average clan, as we don't have general a general ranking but many smaller rankings for full-fledged members of the clan. Kittens and apprentices are given many opportunities to experience the different jobs and decide which path they wish to take, there is no pressure to make the choice right after being made an apprentice. In fact, apprentices are given a half-moon to make a decision and at their Choosing Ceremony, they decide the path they wish to take and are assigned an official mentor. The ranks are as follows: Guards - They're usually out of camp watching the territory. The deputy will assign each cat a night or day shift and all guards report back to the deputy. They are the ones who mark borders and keep the clan safe from outside threats. Some guards are always assigned to keep an eye on the camp, though this job is rotated to keep it fair.
Hunters - They prowl the dunes and even the Wilds looking for food. They also keep track of the homes of any dangerous animals like eagle nests and otter dens.Fishers - though every cat is trained to swim and fish, Fishers are professionals and trained at a much higher extent than others and can safely navigate the churning ocean waters. A team of the best fishers may be able to take down bigger fish.Collectors - These cats search for resources in the land and usually have basic medical training. They'll often help take care of the queens and kits as well.
The Council - not quite a rank in and of itself, as the members of this rank are members of another rank. Being part of this rank is a high honor as there are only three or four cats on it and they work very closely with the leader and deputy. Most often the members will be older warriors but it isn't uncommon to see a younger warrior in their ranks.Also, along with StarClan, our cats believe in the Deep Dark. This is a place far under the ocean where only the darkest evils hide and if cats who committed crimes or who were cruel of mind and spirit die within the clan, this is where we believe they go. |

Rules
 Forum rules must be followed at all times.
 Stay active and you'll get to have a lot of fun roleplaying major roles! HOWEVER, inactivity is completely understood. Life happens, health happens, mental health days happen, family happens. Essentially, I understand that this forum is not your #1 priority. If you need to take a break or a hiatus, it would be lovely to be informed first, just so maybe a trusted rp'er could maybe rp some of your important characters or I can excuse you from ongoing rp, to keep the plot going. c: If you can't let me know before hand, that's fine too, I'll save your characters and we can add them right back if you want to return later.
 No God-modding whatsoever. Always get permission before rping or harming someone else's character. No spot-lighting as well. We're all here to play our characters and have a good time, so let's have fun, yeah?
 Characters must have detailed biographies. At least three sentences for appearance and personality each. Please keep characters realistic and do not make them perfect. Please don't be upset if it takes a bit too accept your joining form or add your characters.
You may not join with a motherless kit unless you have asked the mods beforehand and worked out a solution. Also, apprentices may not have mates or kits.
No spam! This means advertising, trolling, etc.. You can come in and ask someone to go to another thread but only post once and be polite. Members of the clan may advertise threads but only after asking politely.
We encourage members to chat but please remember to be respectful. If we see repeated disrespect of any kind (intentional exclusion, bullying, rudeness, etc.) you will receive a warning. When chatting, be sure to make it clear that what you are saying is OOC.
Keep all mature content grandma-friendly and not heavily detailed.
While this is not a super literate roleplay, I ask that you use correct grammar when roleplaying. No cursing in or out of character unless it's a fake curse like "Fiddlesticks" or "Mouse-brain."
Living in the clan is dangerous. Many cats are killed, succumb to illness/injury, disappear, run away, etc. Please be open to losing your characters. It keeps things new and interesting. Remember all cats die eventually and rarely of old age.
LGBT characters are accepted and welcome but remember that these cats might face some opposition from other characters in the rp and usually only for the purpose of drama. We would never allow opposition to be shown OOC.
Nothing from this page may be used without permission. This includes artwork, story-lines, information, and characters.
History
Our story begins with love. Not a flirty, sweet love that makes butterflies soar through your stomach. No, this was an intense love that scorched the soul and was deeply passionate. The kind of romance that steals the very breath from your lungs and makes one incomplete without the other. Their love had torn apart their hearts and stitched them back together so that the only way they'd go on beating was when they were side by side.
Jayflight was a young warrior of CedarClan, he was thoughtful and cautious. He was a cat who always followed the rules, until him. One afternoon, while the pale gray warrior had just finished hunting near the border, the sound of a loud crash through the bushes caught him off guard. Jayflight went to investigate and found a large russet tom stuck in the brambles. His name was Roan. And this was only the beginning.
Roan was deeply hurt and reluctantly agreed to come back to camp with Jayflight to be treated by their medicine cat. The strange rogue ended up staying with CedarClan for a while, though he never seemed to warm up to anyone. He was snappy and cold, completely closed off. Jayflight seemed to be the only one who could communicate with him without getting his ears chewed off. The warrior took it upon himself to teach the large grump how to hunt in the forest territory and even how to climb some trees. The relationship slowly slipped from acquaintances to friends, to much, much more.
Then the day came when Mossystar, the leader of CedarClan at the time, declared that Roan was well enough that he should be on his way. Jayflight begged his leader to reconsider, for the chance for the gruff tom to join the clan but his clan mates didn't trust the tom at all. Roan was forced from the territory, chased out by a group of warriors including Jayflight's own father - Bluethorn. For many sunrises afterwards, the pale gray tabby wouldn't move from his nest - completely heart-broken. Eventually his sister, Ashwhisper, talked him into leaving the clan and going after the love of his life.
Roan had been skulking around the edges of the territory, waiting for Jayflight to come to him. With the two lovers reunited, the toms ran. They traveled far and wide, never settling in one place for very long. Eventually they ended up in some large city, which of course made Jayflight extremely uncomfortable. The two were huddling together in a cardboard box when a two-leg happened upon them and snatched them up. They were forced into a crate and put on a boat, made sick by the constant rocking of the waves.
One fateful night, a storm hit the ship. Their crate fell into the ocean and they drifted for a long while before washing up on the shore of an island that was barely inhibited by twolegs, mostly nature as far as the eye could see. A few other cats washed up on the shore from the wreck and others traveled from the twoleg village, but eventually a small group formed, with the lovers as the leaders. Jayflight and a young molly named Clear were the first ones to find Moon Pool and with the connection to StarClan, it seemed like it was destiny.
Roan became Russetstar and Jayflight became his deputy. They built the clan from the ground up, teaching themselves and others how to swim and fish. Clear became Clearwater, the first medicine cat and she explored the herbs that were native to the island to find new remedies. All this came to be because two toms chose love before all else. That's why romance is so important to the clan, because without it, we wouldn't have come to be.
Traditions
Newborn Kits - The celebration of newborn kits is no small affair. Kittens are the future of our clan, little paws who will one day fight and hunt to keep CoastalClan thriving. The clan throws a huge feast, with prey shared between friends and family, lively mock-battles, swapped stories, and most importantly, well wishes for the new parents. Kin, or even friends, of the parents will often leave gifts for the parents outside the nursery.
Choosing Ceremony - This takes place a half-moon after an apprentice ceremony. Before this, the young cat is given a chance by all four possible ranks to learn what the job is like and if they have any aptitude for it. During a Choosing Ceremony, the apprentice is surrounded by the clan in a large circle and four stones are sat near them. One stone is pale gray and has the image of a feather drawn on it - this is the Hunter stone. The second stone is more reddish brown and has a leaf painted on it which is the Collectors stone. The dark gray stone with claw marks on it is the Guard stone and the white stone with the imprint of a fossilized fish fin is the Fisher stone. The leader announces the apprentices name and their parent's names. Then the apprentice chooses the stone that represents which path they'd like to follow and the leader assigns them a mentor from that rank. The Choosing Ceremony is closed with a swim between mentor and apprentice to form a bond.
Unity Ceremony - After a couple agrees to become mates, it is custom to plan a mating ceremony. This can take place a few days after the proposal or the next day, depending on how busy the clan is. The ceremony always takes place at sunset. Both partners are helped prepare for the ceremony on separate sides of Crescent Cove, usually by their friends and families. Their fur is perfumed with mint, rosemary, and vanilla. The whole clan gathers around the cove, though the cats nearest to the front are the family and friends closest to the pair. The couple meets at the center of the curved cove, right near the water's edge, where the leader/deputy and medicine cat is waiting for them. Each cat must choose their closest friend (acting as sort of a best man/bridesmaid) and they are called the Gift Bearers and once it's time to exchange words the mated cats will offer the other some type of trinket that they caught/found that is a symbol of their love, given to them by their Gift Bearer so that they don't have to carry it up themselves. Then they are relieved of their duties for the rest of the night spend their first night alone at Crescent Cove while the rest of the clan heads back to the camp for a small feast.
Leader/Deputy: "We gather under the wakening of Starclan so that they may witness these two souls merge for life. (medicine cat) will now adorn the two cats with a chain of flowers that symbolize their unity and give them Starclan's blessing." Then the medicine cat places a lei of flowers around the couple's necks.
Medicine Cat: "I bestow the blessing of Starclan upon these two cats so that their spirits shall always be connected, even in death. May the have a long, prosperous and fruitful life together."
Deputy: "Now may the Gift Bearers step forward and recognize the relationship of Blankface and Furpelt."
Gift Bearers: "We honor the relationship of Blankface and Furpelt." (They can also have the power to say that they don't.) Then they give the pair the gifts that they got each other.
The cats in love: "I give you this (trinket) because (explanation)."
Deputy, after the exchange of gifts: "With the influence of Starclan by your side, may you two live long lives together. Now share breath and tongues to bind your fate."
The cats in love: Touch noses then share tongues.
The clan cheers their names and then gives them a few more well wishes before beginning the journey back to camp.
Flower Gathering - Taking place at least twice every season, many adult felines gather together and head out to Crescent Cove. Each cat that goes is given a flower to place behind their ear. If placed behind their left ear this signals that the cat has a partner and is in a committed relationship. If the flower is placed behind the right ear, then the cat is single and ready to mingle with others. Basically it's like a huge date night/mixer type of event.
New Leaders - When a deputy becomes a leader, they are given their nine lives by StarClan. When the arrive home from a trip to the Moon Pool, the clan will have made a new lei for the cat to wear on their head, as well as a larger one for their new deputy to wear around their neck.
Cursed Rocks - It is forbidden to take rocks from the main beach, as there is a superstition about this causing bad luck or bringing a curse down upon the cat who dares disturb the beach which gives them so much life - in the form of food.
Greetings - It is more than common for CostalClan cats to greet one another with a touch of noses. It can be considered both polite or personal, depending on how it's executed or how the cat's know one another. This is an exchanging of breath, which holds almost a spiritual part in the clan's belief system.
Clan Games - Once every year, usually in Low Tide, the clan cats will gather and those who have completed the pre-gathering assessment can compete in a series of challenges. Only 10 cats are allowed to compete in the games where the first round is a relay race of sorts, the first 4 cats that make it move on to the next round. In the hunting round the competing cats must find the two crabs buried in the sand, they'll have to use their hunting skills and the two cats that find them move on to the last round. In the last round the remaining cats must mount a large driftwood log and battle it out to knock the other off balance, in a game of best two out of three the cat that wins is named champion. They are gifted with a woven flower necklace and get to place their paw print along the rock formations that makes up Crescent Cove.
Territory & Camp
Jagged Bluffs - a dangerous area. to be avoided for the most part.
A tall and steep cliff-side at the edge of the territory where the water at the bottom is lined with sharp rocks. The soft dirt at the edge of the cliff-side makes it prone for the ground to give out and tumble down towards the water. An unfortunate fall off the edge for any cat would guarantee death. Cats are encouraged to stay away and apprentices are forbidden from coming here without their mentor keeping close watch. Smaller prey are usually found around the area, hiding in the tall grasses or burrowing in the ground.
Velvet Dunes - soft sandy dunes that apprentices are trained on.
Short hills of sand, the Velvet Dunes offer several flat surfaces for mentors to train their apprentices along the sandy coast. The sand always has a little give, causing battle training to be harder than usual but good practice for apprentices to get used to running on such terrain. Several of the dunes are covered in soft reeds which look golden from the sun. There are paths between each dune for cats to walk along, making it easy to go from one short hill to the other.
Crescent Cove - a little cove just outside of territory.
Just outside of clan territory resides a small cove shaped like a crescent moon. The cove is blocked off from the rest of the beach by huge rock formations. The only way to get in is through a crawl space that is well hidden from outsiders, its location only known by clan cats. The sand is softer and brighter than the rest of the beach, paw-steps easily sink in and make it easy to fall asleep and lounge on. The water along the cove is shallow and a brilliantly, bright blue color where the stars clearly reflect in the pool of water at night. The cove is a popular spot amongst the clan cats to lay and relax when there's a lot of downtime, or when it's an especially hot day and one is looking to cool off in the clear waters of the cove.
Moon Pool - a small pool in a cave near the cove, where they meet with Starclan
Near the cove is a small cave with an entrance just big enough for a cat to crawl through. Once inside, a cat must belly crawl further into the cave before the tunnel finally expands out. Inside there is a large, open space and a pool of clear, blue water. Medicine cats may only visit the Moon Pool when the moon is at it's fullest and at the highest point in the sky, only because it lines up perfectly with the opening in the roof of the cave. The moon beams pour into the pool of water and illuminate the waters up until the very edge. That's when the cats may dip their faces into bright blue waters and be taken to visit Starclan. Rumor has it that while the cats are asleep, the cats with stars in their pelts will dance down from Starclan on the moon beams and protect the living cats while they sleep.
Sea Star Grove - a big tide pool near camp that is filled with colorful starfish.
A rather large tidal pool between the camp and the ocean that houses many different starfish of all shapes and sizes. There are large, flat rocks that surround the pool that allows cats to lounge on and watch the strange creatures move about. Traditionally, this is a romantic spot where cats frequent to confess their enamored feelings to one another. This spot was named after one of the first leaders of Coastalclan who had been quite the playtom until he finally settled down with his mate, having promised himself to her after discovering the tide pool full of starfish together. It's tradition for the cat who is confessing to bring a sand dollar with them so that the two may break it together. How many 'doves' the broken sand dollar produces represents how well the relationship will turn out; few doves mean the relationship might not work out while a lot of doves means they were meant to be together. Cats may also interpret the doves as how many kits or litters they will have together.
Rockbound Bay - a rocky beach on one side of territory.
A large beach on the other side of the territory that ends up connecting to Crescent Cove. It's mainly a rocky beach where the waves crash over and cause the surfaces to be rather slippery, thus making it hard to walk along. It's also a good place where sea birds like to perch on, often sitting together in small swarms so if you miss a bird it's not out of the question to turn around and hope to get another before they all fly away. Mollusks are also found between the wedges of rocks, good for harvesting and eating from. The smooth and wet surfaces are perfect for seals and otters to rest on and as long as a cat doesn't bother them, they won't be bothered back.
The Vanishing Pools - these are the tide pools in territory, good place for prey.
The Vanishing Pools are a cluster of tide pools along the edge of Rockbound Bay that house several small creatures. The Pools are great fun to relax around and watch the small sea life inside of the waters, they're also a good place to hunt for small crabs, sea sponges, or any type of shellfish. Cats are told to be careful of where they stick their paws in the water as they could be stung by a sea anemone or pricked by a sea urchin.
Clearwater Beach - the main beach, most hunting gets done here.
Named after the clan's first medicine cat, this is the beach that Coastelclan's camp sits upon, it's also where most hunting and gathering is done. The sand on the beach is a very pale yellow, almost white when the sun is at its highest while the water is a bright and clear turquoise. When the tide is low is a great time for cats to venture out and pick up little sea creatures that got left behind when the water has receded. The camp sits high up on the sands so even when the water is at its highest it's not even close to reaching the walls of the camp. There are many series and sections of reeds or tall beach grass that's good for hiding in when hunting, or to make nests out of.
Palm Circle - a wide clearing of palm trees, herbs grow here.
Palm Circle is a wide clearing of palm trees that is full of floral growth. Many of the medicinal herbs are found and collected here, growing in the sandy soil just off of Clearwater Beach. A lot of the flowers bring in bees who make their beehives on some of the palm trees that encircle the clearing. If cats are careful then they may be able to extract some honey from the hives, or just hope enough drips onto some leaves. Occasionally some animals from The Wilds venture into the clearing and if that's the case then cats are to leave the area immediately.
The Wilds - the jungle which makes up half, or at least part of their territory
The Wilds is the busy jungle that is right behind the beach territory of the clan, cats are forbidden from venturing too deep into the vines and trees as there are too many dangers lurking about. Sometimes twolegs will be lingering amongst the foliage but they never set foot onto the beach. Still, The Wilds are still part of the territory and are used for hunting but not much else, it's normally used as a last resort if there isn't much prey on the beach then a large patrol will be sent into the jungle to hunt and get out as quickly as possible.
Camp - the heart of CoastalClan
CoastalClan make their camp high on Clearwater beach, where there is little chance for them to be flooded by even the highest of tides. The clan still prepares for the worst however and their nests are built from reeds and woven in a way that allows them to float. The camp is settled in deep within the tall beach grasses, encircled by large rocks and pieces of driftwood. The driftwood is sharp in areas and has been fortified to give the camp the appearance of a fortress beside the sea. Inside the camp is nice and airy, with a sand and grass floor. The sky is open and visible from nearly all angles, though there are little alcoves built into the camp walls for shelter when it rains. Only three dens reside within the camp, as most all CoastalClan cats sleep out under the stars. There is a wide clearing in the center with a smooth rock jutting out at the edge - this is Sun Rock, where the leader calls important clan meetings. Surrounding the clearing is softer sand, where the grasses have been flattened and worn, this is where nests are set up. Each cat usually has one nest that they made when they became an apprentice but placement is purely up to the felines. Families and friends often group together, no matter the ages. The fresh kill pile rests on a pile of frond leaves and reeds in a small underground cave, which can be accessed through a tunnel. The cave is nearly always cool, which keeps prey fresher for longer amounts of time.
Leader Den - This den is settled on the back side of Sun Rock, made out of another rock which leans against it and creates a small but cozy little den for the leader and their mate, if they have one.
Medicine Den - The medicine cat den is by far the largest den, built to accommodate at least three patients plus the medicine cat and their apprentice. It's built from a large hollowed out piece of driftwood, which is settled close to the camp wall. Cats have carved shelves into the wood over time with their claws, leaving a great space for storage.
Nursery - The nursery is a heavily protected den made up of palm leaves, reeds, and driftwood. The entrance is around the side and hard to see if you're not accustomed to looking for it. Inside it's as roomy as the den could be made with soft grass and moss placed down on the floor to keep the queens and kits comfortable.

Soursop - a tree which bears large green fruits. The medium sized leaves can be harvested and chewed into a pulp that is useful as an anti-inflammatory. It's great for back-pains and joint problems. Sometimes will be used to fight infections.
Noni - the fruits of this particular tree smell awful, like stale sweat almost. The plant grows both by the shores and deep in the jungle. The juice or even the fruits in severe cases can be taken to help with stomach and intestinal issues. When applied topically it can also be an anti-inflammatory.
Snakewood - a hollow trunked tree with massive leaves and a thin, worm-like fruit - which is adored by birds and bats alike. The leaves when chewed into a pulp are used as a cure for snakebites and rashes. The fruits can also be turned into a pulp which is used to combat sore-throats, colds, and can even be used as a mild calming agent.
Gavilana - is a large leafy herb that grows in the tropics, that is rather bitter. The leaves can be chewed up and placed on wounds to help battle infection.

Anise - Tall plant with yellow or white flowers and oblong shaped fruit. The fruit is great for treating snake bites.
Basil - Tall plant with large, dark green leaves and small, white flowers. It's a catch-all type of herb that medicine cats keep regularly stocked as it helps ease stomach spasms, gas, and colds. It can also help with a loss of appetite and regulate blood circulation. Nursing mothers often take basil after kitting to improve their milk production.
Brahmi - It has small flowers that are light purple or white in color with no more than four or five petals. It has a bitter and sweet taste. It is great as a memory enhancer and can relieve anxiety. It also promotes sleep, strengthens the immune system, relieves arthritis pain, reduces swelling, and helps with dry skin.

The leaves can be chewed to relieve stress, applied topically to reduce swelling, or made into a poultice to combat fleas and ticks. The tree also has large, round fruits that are highly dangerous if eaten.
Lemongrass - Tall, fern-like grass plant that gives off a faint sharp fruit smell. It is chewed for pain relief, and can reduce fevers and swelling. Kitting mothers can chew this to help their kitting along.
Mint - Small plant with many small, triangular leaves. The plant has a very sharp scent and taste. When chewed it can ease a mild cough, headaches, and general aches and pains. It can be rubbed on a queen's belly to encourage kits to nurse. Often used on a dead body to mask the scent of death.
Neem - Tree with long, skinny leaves and white, fragrant flowers. It can be used as to reduce swelling and often given to cats sick with colds.
Nutmeg - The ground seeds from a dark leaved evergreen. Medicine cats use a small rock to crush the seeds. This technique was learned from seagulls who drop oysters from great heights to break them. It can be swallowed to reduce pain.

Turmeric - Tall, distinctly shaped plants with yellow-orange cone shaped stems. At the top of the cone the leaves are normally white or green and every so often sprout a large purple flower. The roots can be ground and/or chewed to reduce swelling and relieve arthritis pain. Often taken with pepper to increase effectiveness.
Vanilla - Green seed pods from a broad-leaved plant with small yellow flowers. It is a great fever reducer. Like the mint it can be applied to queens bellies to encourage nursing.
Climate [x] Low Tide - the water is pretty low during the warmer months, allowing for more prey to be caught. The heat can get to very high, very intense temperatures during this time.
Storm Tide - this is a time during the end of Low Tide and the beginning of Quick Tide, where tropical storms are incredibly common.
Quick Tide - coming down from Storm Tide, the waters are still a bit choppy and can be a bit harsher to swim against.
High Tide - despite not experiencing cold weather, High Tide is when the heat subsides to a much cooler, more comfortable level. However, the water can be very cold making it dangerous to swim in.
Slow Tide - the water is beginning to calm itself down and storms are very rare during this season, though it does rain often.

Plot Lines
Main Plot; Clan-life as usual... for now. The Clan Games are coming up within a moon, something to look forward to and anticipate. This once a year event is one that brings honor and glory, but also unseen danger. This year while the second trial is taking place, a trio of foxes - starving and injured stumble into our territory from the Wilds. They're fueled by the need to survive and aggressive towards anyone they see. Their mouths are also full of a strange white foam. When cats are bitten by the foxes, some of them begin to act strange/hostile and even foam at the mouth after a few days while others remain strangely unaffected. How will Coastalclan survive this outbreak of Wild Fox disease?
Affects: everyone c;
Side Plots; [always open for more, don't be afraid to suggest!]
Homecoming - Coralheart was once a guard of Coastalclan with a mate and a new litter of kits. While on a walk one morning, she wandered a bit too close to the Wilds and was captured by a group of traveling two-legs. She's been gone for 38 moons, struggling to return to her clan, with the aid of her companion, Vixen. Now, she is closer than ever to returning. How will the clan react to their former clan-mate and her strange new friend? And Coralheart's family, how will they receive her?
Cats Involved: Coralheart, Vixen, Edgewing[former mate], Hibiscuspetal[sister], Peachsplash[daughter], Nimblefoot[son], Shaleblaze[son], Cranestep[son], & Irisdapple[daughter]

Credit
So much credit still goes to πππππ’ and *MorningGlory* for all the wonderful help and support they gave during the first creation of Coastalclan. Truly without their aid this wouldn't have been possible. Their hard work is as much on display as mine and I certainly take no full credit for this clan. Thank you both so much for going above and beyond to make CoastalClan a reality. <3
And hopefully neither of you mind me bringing it back to life, I feel like it didn't get to thrive to it's full potential. So here I am, trying again. Second time could be the charm? Right? Lol. A ton of thanks to α΄α΄‘Κ as well, as they helped a bunch as well - particularly with traditions! Thanks all. ^^ |

nautilusstar
coastalclan ; tom ; leader ; 49 moons
There were few toms who looked as grouchy as Nautilusstar. He just seemed to effortlessly have that resting grouch-face. His dull white fur ruffled in the breeze as he padded towards Sun Rock, her tail twitching behind him. His glass colored eyes flashed in the sun as he hopped up onto the stone, which was already warming up beneath the intense rays of the rising sun. The morning was always a quiet, peaceful time but Nautilusstar was feeling anything but relaxed. Every muscle in his body was tensed, his claws slipping out to flex anxiously. Stress surrounded him like a cloud, heavy and thick. The Clan Games were rapidly approaching and that meant that the tom had taken all this planning on his shoulders. "These darn games," the words were a hiss under his breath, his nose wrinkling with faint distaste. Not because of the tradition itself, but because of all the work that still had to be done to make it happen. There was only a moon left.
β [ tag ] β [ Sun Rock, in camp ] β 
sunberry
coastalclan ; molly ; collector ; 56 moons
Sunberry had just woken up, lifting her head tiredly as she blinked in the soft morning light. Stretching out her front paws, the molly sighed, debating how much longer she could lay here and enjoy the sun in her fur. Probably not too long, before she would need to head out for the day. Sitting up in her nest, she smiled at the sleeping forms of her clan mates, a softness in her gaze that spoke of her caregiver nature.
Wincing a bit as she shifted to stand, the molly realized she'd gotten a sharp piece of something or other stuck in her shoulder. A sigh left her maw at the scent of stale blood. This was something she'd have to take care of before she could go off in search of herbs. That would be irritating but Sunberry would deal with it. Maybe she could get Wrenwillow to tag along. β [ tag ] β [ in camp ] β
dunestripe
coastalclan ; tom ; guard ; 34 moons
Laying in a warmer patch of sunlight, the tom was curled upon a smooth rock, his pale fur shining in the harsh light. He didn't mind a bit, purring loudly as his claws kneaded carefully into the stone beneath his paws. His warm amber eyes were slits, barely open as he gazed out at the horizon. Dunestripe wouldn't move the whole rest of the day if he could.
Of course he knew that wouldn't be possible. Eventually the deputy or one of his other clan mates would come find him and make him do some actual work. He seriously didn't look forward to that. Relaxing into a puddle against the stone, he began to allow himself to doze back off, letting the sea breeze ruffle his fur. β [ tag ] β [ Clearwater Beach ] β
nectarbee
coastalclan ; molly ; hunter ; 25 moons
Nectarbee was a morning cat, always had been. She loved being up early enough to watch the sunrise over the horizon. The golden tabby she-cat was currently settled beside the tunnel that led to the fresh-kill pile, picking the scales off of a small bream. Licking her lips, the molly began to dig into her breakfast, humming in delight. The fish was delicious though she definitely preferred land prey to any slick sea creature caught by the fishers.
β [ tag ] β [ in camp ] β
reefpaw
coastalclan ; tom ; fisher apprentice ; 7 moons
Reefpaw shifted in his nest, his legs churning as though he was running from some invisible foe. A mewl, like that of a frightened kit escaped his lips as his head thrashed to the side. Luckily, for his sleeping clan-mates and himself, his ear got crushed against the ground and caused him to be pushed into consciousness. His soft green eyes slid open, blearily taking in the bright morning light.
Breathing heavily, his heart thundered in his chest, pressing urgently against his rib cage in an attempt to leave his body far behind. Reefpaw's head felt fuzzy, as though it were full of kitten fluff and an ache spread from his forehead down his spine. Sleeping in strange positions and getting restless sleep was doing little for the apprentice's physical or mental health.
What's worse is the dreams always left him remembering the incident that left him with a permanent limp. Shifting onto his stomach, he glanced around a bit sheepishly, worried he might have woken one of his clan-mates.β [ tag ] β [ in camp ] β

Mousestorm
Tom| pan| hunter| 60 moons
Moving into the camp with prey dangling from his jaws, the off-colored gray-brown looked around, wondering where Nectorbee or Sunberry would be. Upon spotting Nectarbee, the tom padded over.
"Morning," he greeted her with a purr, before he moved his prey into the fresh-kill tunnel. "Do you have any plans today?"
Wrenwillow
She-cat| heterosexal| collector| 36 moons
Wrenwillow had already eaten, and was currently sunbathing herself in a patch of sun. She was enjoying the warmth of the sun, but she knew that she would have to get up and go out. She also knew that Sunberry would be out and about. Wrenwillow wasn't Sunberry's friend, but she enjoyed her company.
Rosepaw
Tom| homosexual| fisher app| 8 moons
Rosepaw, having not heard his friend's struggle, woke with a long yawn. The deep red-brown cat turned his head towards Reefpaw. His heart flared in his chest as he watched his friend for a few moments. For that moment, he couldn't help but to feel grateful that Reefpaw was his friend, but then he felt guilty Reefpaw was his friend.
The apprentice was in love with Reefpaw, though he felt that he shouldn't be his friend. He couldn't put his paw on how he was feeling. Rosepaw knew he was just bland cat, but for some reason, Reefpaw had befriended him.
Shaking his head, getting rid of those thoughts, Rosepaw let out a purr. "Morning."

It's good to see you! No worries about being busy, I completely understand! If you still want to join when your schedule clears up, you're more than welcome to join us! I felt much the same about the first Coastalclan... It was essentally my baby, I put a ton of work and effort into it and then it kind of just... flopped. About broke my heart. I'm going to try and do better for this edition of the clan, for sure! c: )

nectarbee
coastalclan ; molly ; hunter ; 25 moons
The molly was very deeply involved in her breakfast, so much so that she didn't hear Mousestorm's approach until he was nearly right on top of her and had begun to purr. The sudden noise jolted her back to the present and Nectarbee glanced up at the tom with a sunny smile, before reaching up to touch her nose to his in customary greeting. "Mousestorm! I was just eating this bream! Of course, you know that, you have eyes, duh. Did you just get back from hunting?" her energy was almost palpable in the air as she shifted from paw to paw."You went without me! That's so rude, Mouse, honestly! I thought we were bffs forever!" she pretended to pout, though her pale green eyes were practically glowing with warmth. "Just kidding, though I've been up for a while - I always get up early. Momma always said the early riser gets the worm! What a weird saying, huh? Anyway, I didn't see you leave camp... you must have been sneaky like a mouse! Hah!" Nectarbee then proceeded to laugh at her own joke, her tail-tip twitching behind her erratically. She could be so funny sometimes, she was sure her clan-mates all could agree.
reefpaw
coastalclan ; tom ; fisher apprentice ; 7 moons
The apprentice seemed to have gotten away with not waking up his den-mates. Which was a relief, he didn't want to have his ears chewed off. He began to smooth down his fur, which was a total mess from all the in-dream thrashing. How lovely. His mind drifted away, of to the ocean and fish, already wondering what sort of skills he'd learn today. He adored swimming, it never made him feel less than since his hip rarely bothered him in the water.
Reefpaw turned his attention to Rosepaw when he spoke up, a distracted but kind smile landing on his muzzle. "Good morning, Rosepaw. Sorry if I woke you," he murmured, tucking his tail around his paws. He'd always enjoyed the friendship he had with the reddish brown tom. He'd always been a bit quiet but making friends with Rosepaw had come as naturally as breathing to him. |

Good morning!
I'm hoping to join if that's okay with everyone, I wondered, sorry if this is cheeky but I saw the very handsome leader of this clan was a bi dude, if it would be okay to make a mate for him? I was thinking a cheeky, flirtatious, borderline infuriating but largely good hearted, oaf of a tom.
If not that's no problem, just wanted to check before falling in love with something that would never be... 
Also, unrelated, but Nectarbee is an unreasonably cute name

Nautilusstar... handsome? Oh my. xD I'm glad someone thinks so, even with his resting grouch face. lol.
That is a lovely idea! Nautilus actually is kind of afraid of relationships because he grew up with parents in a rough situation, but you could always make the tom and we can see how they connect? I think it would be hilarious to watch someone try and flirt with Nauti... xD
Also, thank you! I love the name! ^^ )

γ Sparkseeker γ
To say Sparkseeker wasn't looking his normal, cheery self was an understatement that particular morning. Though never the fastest moving cat, that morning he carried himself with stiffness, when he departs from his den he pauses in a sunlit spot to stretch, hind legs digging into the dirt a few inches as he does.
It was nothing new, though especially severe today. One of the side effects of being the group bodyguard during his younger days, his young body having never quite recovered the way it should have after so many fights. In defiance of his youthful looks and playful personality, much to the massive tom's chagrin.
Shaking himself off, he spots the handsome tom who had been the centre of his attentions since he had joined the clan some moons ago. A look on his features that reflected his own, though Nautilusstar's grumpy expression appeared to be a permanent fixture, despite the guard's best efforts. He approaches with a bow of his head.
"What's on your mind that has that handsome face of yours looking like you've tasted something sour, Nauti?" He had never quite gotten his head around the odd names this clan uses and Sparkseeker had never been a subtle tom.

The ruffled white tom settled down on Sun Rock, carefully tucking his paws underneath his body. His head was already spinning with all the inner-workings of one of the clan's biggest traditions. The competitors still had to be chosen, of course. Two crabs still had to be caught and buried, a drift log wide enough to support two cats had to be found, and the winners lei had to be made. Less than a moon away and still so much to do. Nautilusstar let out a quiet sigh, lifting his gaze to peer at his clan-mates. Easily he spotted the approaching massive form of Sparkseeker. The tom felt his ears heat up beneath that amber gaze, though his own expression still resembled a storm cloud. He never knew how to act around the golden orange tabby. The guard was so... forward. It made the socially inept Nautilusstar feel at a loss. Of course, then the former rogue spoke. Nauti. Some clan cats had nicknames but he'd certainly never been one of them. Even with his siblings. Glass colored eyes blinked slowly, almost as though his brain couldn't comprehend the words. "Handso- This is one of your jokes, yes? I never get them, you know," Nautilusstar grumbled, his ear twitching. He'd often been told that he had a terrible - if non-existent - sense of humor. The leader was reluctant to admit that he was struggling with the planning for the Clan Games. That would make him seem weak. So instead he redirected the conversation. After all, the dull white feline was nothing if not observant. Sparkseeker was clearly not feeling completely 100%, Nautilusstar could see it in the way the tom held himself. "Did you sleep poorly, Sparkseeker? Do you need to see Hibiscuspetal? I had you on guard patrol today but I can take your place if you need me to," he offered, if a bit awkwardly, silently wishing for an ounce of the charisma his predecessor had. β [ Sparkseeker(Daydreamer) ] β [ Sun Rock, in camp ] β |

His orange maw parts in a large grin, "How you've had 9 lives bestowed upon you and yet not a single one of them managed to give you a bit of a sense of humour is truly beyond me you know," he tells the leader with a mreow of laughter, drawing his plumed cloud-like tail around his paws as he came to sit beside the leader. Sparkseeker lacked the discipline most of his clanmates had particularly around the leader, it was yet to prove whether that was a good thing or not. Though at his size, not many would go out of their way to pick him up on it. "We should hang out more," he added in a further astonishing lack of subtlety. "I'll get a grin from you if it the last thing I do."
"And you should think more of yourself, your plenty handsome," even if the leader did have a chronically grumpy resting face, or rather existing face. But then, Sparkseeker had never been overly fussy with that sort of thing. "Ask the stars for a bit of ego next time your there, you could do with some." His tone was mostly playful.
Something closer to a sigh sounds at the leader's questioning, he shrugs. "Nice to know you care," he says hoping to distract, but grunts when its apparent the leader wont accept that as an answer. "Just sore, some days are better than others," all days were at least better than the ones he used to know. He lowers himself to his belly, enjoying the heat of the sun rock on his belly fur, Sparkseeker was elusive about few things, but his history was a large one. Many cats had enquired after the source of his scars, but he was yet to admit a thing.
"Now come on, I wont tell anyone, what's wrong?" He asks, drawing his tongue across his paw and cleaning behind a tufted ear with it. "Unless its hilarious, but then only close friends, don't worry."
