No matter how the winds howl; we will not bow to it. No matter how the ground quakes; we will not break to it. No matter how the world burns; we will not run from it.
We are FinchClan, the brave, the loyal and the fierce. And together, nothing can break us.
But what comes next is like nothing we've ever seen before. And this time the threat comes from our own.

Welcome to... The lost and fearful and uncertain. The outcasts, the misfits and the lawless. Those who've been pulled apart piece by piece, but in one and other we stitch each other back together. Know that this is the place you might finally find home. But first some rules, as even outcasts and misfits can't live lawless.
Rules 1. Kindness; bullying, unless solely in the context of roleplay, will not be tolerated in any form. Follow the forum rules, help one and other out, and treat others the way you would want to be treated. 2. Activity; I've been on the forum all of two minutes, so I won't expect anything drastic. If you're able to be online at least twice a week to roleplay, that's fine by me! 3. Literacy; if you're able to get yourself across in three lines as well as others can do in twenty, that's fine by me. Just please aim to give others a decent amount to respond to. 4. Joining; please do? And to show me that you've read the rules, somewhere on your form tell me what your favourite species of bird is! 5. Characters; no minimums or maximums, but please try to keep genders kind of even. I don't mind if you guys have some artistic license, but please try to be reasonably realistic, i.e. no wings, purple eyes, etc. 6. Roleplay; somewhat related to the previous one, please be reasonably realistic. However, in terms of sideplots such as battles, love rivalry, etc, I don't mind if you guys have as much fun as you'd like!
And you still don't want to run for this hills?
Joining Form Name. A positive characteristic, a neutral characteristic, a negative characteristic. A short, book style description of your character, one line at maximum please. @screenname, rank, family and anything else.

History Chased from our previous homes many generations ago, we stumbled endlessly across mountains and through valleys in hopes of finding a new home. Time after time we were chased out, until there were only a few members of what had once been a healthy, thriving clan. We were half starved when we stumbled across the valley we now call home, and on the brink of death desperate to find food. When we found a little finch, freshly dead at the foot of an ash tree. That we took as a sign from StarClan, and the sustenance that little bird gave us allowed us to realise this place was empty. A place to call all ours at very last. Deciding our previous name, now long forgotten, was no longer fitting. We renamed ourselves after the bird that saved our lives, and ensured we would survive to be the clan we are today. Since those days we have been welcoming to outsiders, remembering the struggles we suffered through in trying to find a new home. We are a patchwork of peculiar cats, but welcoming and loyal are two of the things that define our Clan.
Home In a valley between sweeping hills you will find FinchClan camp. A small stream cuts eastward through camp, providing a source of fresh water within a stone's through of each den entrance. A number of trees decorate the area, providing good shelter from the often fierce winds. The leader's den is a small nook tucked between where a large boulder rests against the slope. Ivy has been trained to run down the front of the entrance, and though not spacious it fits its purpose well enough. Our medicine cat builds their nest and stores their herbs in a small den tucked in the corner of camp, where rocks have formed a little formation amid the greenery. It is deceptively spacious inside, providing room and distance for recovering cats to enjoy a few peaceful days under the watchful eye of our medicine cat. Warriors of FinchClan build their nests within the roots of a large Oak tree, the gaps in the roots filled with moss and ivy to prevent too much wind getting in. It provides an enormous amount of space for those who work hard for their clan. Apprentices in training to become fine warriors for our Clan create a home in a similar set up to our warriors, however, this particular tree has an abundance of moss growing on its bark and the surrounding rocks. This helps make the lives of apprentices much easier in their daily chores. The nursery lives within a hollow log central to the layout of camp, providing a warm and safe place for the youngest members of the Clan to thrive. Finally elders retired from their duties to rest aching paws create a home for themselves where the land naturally dips, boulders placed carefully overhead to create a warm shelter and ivy grown across the entrance to provide privacy.
Our Lands. FinchClan's territory spans across a large valley between two mountains, the area is hilly and often prone to rather cold weather, it is dotted with a number of small woodlands and a expanses of moors. The primary sources of food are birds, rabbits, squirrels and other small woodland animals. We are opportunistic, and not overly fussy what the source of food is as long as we are fed, we know what starvation feels like. The major landmarks of our home are as follows:
The Ash Tree. Now a sacred feature of our territory, where the finch that saved us was first found is where we connect with our ancestors. Fall asleep touching the roots, or eating the bark for those who might otherwise struggle, and you will dream of those lost to us. The River. A large body of water that cuts southwards between the valleys, the parts that cross FinchClan territory are fairly gentle currents, but it is deep. It is recommended only strong swimmers dare these depths. The Moorland Farmhouse. A twoleg lives here but rarely pays much attention to the cats he shares his lands with. The house has a small garden, a good source of otherwise tricky to find herbs. Beyond the farmhouse is a paddock, where cows, horses and sheep are kept. This is the natural border to the east, and sits in the shadow of that mountain. The Rocky Meadow: some time ago a landslide took place here, so the land is uneven underfoot and still somewhat unstable if you're uncareful. However, it is a good place to find small critters sneaking about the crevices of the rocks, it is particularly helpful in a relentless leafbare. Be warned however, snakes do linger in those dark shadows.
About Us. We have always had a habit of welcoming whoever would like to live with us, whether temporarily or permanently. As such its difficult to pinpoint what the average FinchClan cat would look like, as looking at us we're all incredibly diverse in size, shape and pelt. Where it comes to personality, of course that is also incredibly different from cat to cat. However, the things FinchClan nurture are kindness, good natures and warm hearts, those welcoming to others and willing to help one another will always be welcome here.

Relationships Warrior mentors Apprentice. Lupinestar mentors Scarletpaw. Quartzlily mentors Dapplepaw. Fernleap mentors Sootpaw. Foxberry mentors Wasppaw.
Cat > Cat (Crush) Cat <> Cat (Mutual Crush) Cat <3 Cat (Mates) Cat </3 Cat (Ex Mates) Lupinestar and Cloudwillow are mates. Sundust and Ashflower are mates.
Cat + Cat = Cat (Parents/Litter) ??? + ??? = Sootpaw, Dapplepaw, Wasppaw and Scarletpaw.
Plot Ideas Despite becoming known for our welcoming nature, there are those in FinchClan who want to get rid of that part of our clan that has been so essential to our survival. Members of the group have grown to dislike the clan's willingness to welcome whoever comes to our doorstep. The past leafbare was incredibly bitter and we had too many mouths to feed, and a small rebellion tried to kick out the most recent newcomers who came to the clan shortly before that leafbare. They were successful, but now cats are trying to do that again, but this time with more cats on their side. Watching this rivalry within the clan, dark forces have taken notice, and bit by bit the ancestors are being lost as the clan loses such a vital piece of itself. The medicine cat, the line between our future and our past, the one we trusted the most, is at the forefront of this dark force. And by the time we realise what's coming, we might not realise how much we've already lost.

γ Lupinestar γ
An overcast day splintered the sunlight overhead, dappling the earth unevenly with beams of golden light. The morning was fair and reasonable warm, though the air carried the promise of oncoming rain later. All the more reason to rise early and get on with the morning's duties, before the weather chased prey back to their dens to wait out the cold. Or at least that was the mindset of FinchClan's leader, as he withdrew from the warmth of his rocky alcove of a den, into the sunlit camp. He inhales steadily, considering the scents that dance across his tongue, tantalising intricate and intriguing all at once. He casts a searching glance around camp in an attempt to find the form of his deputy among the recently woken warriors, but finds no sign of the cat. Unconcerned, there were no pressing matters. They were still in the early days of newleaf and prey was proving fruitful. The freshkill pile had been the best stocked he had seen it in moons, a relief from the bitter leafbare they had been forced to recently endure. But as always, FinchClan would survive no matter what the Stars decided to throw their way.
Open
γ Quartzlilyγ
Returning to camp with an unhurried pace and a mouth filled with recently caught squirrel, Quartzlily kept to the shadows as she returned to the valley she'd known as home since birth. She casts a nervous glance about her as she slips through the entrance, but finds her timing was almost perfectly timed. She was early enough that not enough cats were yet woken, and as such no one would likely have noticed her absence unless they'd been paying close attention to the shy shecat. And no one tended to consider the warrior with more than a passing glance, which frankly was just how the youngster liked it. So unless someone happened to notice the fresh scent of the moorland on her coat, she should have been able to get away with her nightly escapade. It wasn't like she was meeting a stranger in the dark, or taking food from the farmer. She just preferred as much peace and privacy as she could get, and camp was feeling rather crowded recently. Depositing her catch on the pile, she is grateful to find it already well packed with various delicacies of her talented clanmates. Her sides still ache at the thought of the hunger they had recently suffered, and thanks the Stars quietly that those days seem long past them.

Oh my word just as I was on the brink of deleting my account because this had been the biggest failure since the lead balloon! Thank you so much for joining inky! they look brilliant, and Cloudwillow is such a wonderfully pretty name!
I'd prefer queens to have mates if that's okay? unless you want a backstory as to how she lost him? that or you could choose one of my males, fairly restricted choice though! or wait until someone else joins and ask? though no promises as you are all of the attention I've had here

Two in one day, I'm grinning like a child in the sweetshop!
Welcome to you too! I completely forgot what the password was and thus the love-bird and chicken comment confused me quite a bit for about three seconds there.
If either of you would like Lupine as the father of the kits you'd be more then welcome to him. Also, sorry for disregaerding it a minute ago, but Quartz and Sun sound like a good sibling duo to me.
and I'm awfully sorry Copper, I may regret saying this if no one else joins, but for now would I be okay to limit one main role per member. Could you possibly pick between deputy and medicine cat?

and hi Ember34 ! I shall get to adding you too. Thanks for some patience, I'm not very good at navigating this place just yet.
also Copperstarβ, same thing for your queen. I no longer have any toms, but would you be okay seeing if there's anyone else you'd be interested in having as a mate for Ash?
