My Characters (wip)Marestar➳ 53 years old ➳ Leader ➳ Female ➳ Heterosexual ➳ She was once a fierce guard, and though the years are beginning to show on Marestar's face, she is by no means weak. She is taller than most women with a toned, rectangular build. Her hair, once sandy blonde, is now streaked with silver. It is naturally straight and typically pulled back in a loose bun. Her eyes are dark blue, and she has an aquiline nose. She typically wears white linen with straight trousers and functional tops. She does not enjoy wearing jewelry and is rarely adorned in fussy ways. Her strength is most evident when she wields a spear, though she has not had many opportunities to use it in combat since relinquishing her guard duties, it is a yearly practice for mentors to ask Marestar to give the littlest apprentices a demonstration.Marestar had three siblings growing up, and all died young during one of the toughest periods in Viperclan's history, when tensions with Nettleclan were high. She is a tough woman, perhaps too firm at times and not maternal by most accounts. But she has a strong moral compass and does her best to attain greatness for her clan. She is proud, brave, and fierce at heart. Completely unafraid of confrontation. She has high standards both for herself and for her clan. She is also very devout when it comes to Starclan, and seeks their guidance regularly.Ironfeather is her son (open for two more children)
Ironfeather
➳ 30 years old ➳ Provider ➳ Male ➳ Heterosexual ➳ Ironfeather takes after his mother in some ways and his late father in others. He is tall (6'4") and hulkingly muscular. His strong build, aquiline nose, and dark blue eyes are all Marestar. But his black hair was passed on by his father. He wears it long and braided, with the sides of his head shaved. In the winter, he wears a silver wolf pelt over his shoulders. In the summer, pants made from deerhide and little else. Brawn is one of the words that comes to mind when describing Ironfeather physically. His facial features are much like his mother's with almond shaped eyes and a proud mouth. He is covered in scars, including a noticeable one on his collarbone. He is the eldest of his mother's children and he maintains that she was the strictest with him, which probably holds some truth. But the pressure made him into a strong man, one who takes pride in providing for his clan. He can be fearsome at times, and reckless to the point of putting himself in dangerous positions. He would fight a bear without a weapon if given the opportunity. He is charismatic if a bit narcissistic. Most people in the clan get along with Ironfeather and he would be a natural successor to his mother, but she has always seen his worst qualities over his good ones.
Marestar is his mother
Sleetpalm➳ 26 years old ➳ Craftswoman ➳ Female ➳ Bisexual ➳ A slender woman of approximately average height. Her hair is ashen in color with darker roots and she wears it half up, half down so it does not get in her face while she works. Her eyes are brown. She has a straight nose and a charming smile. She wears a bandeau in the summer and a necklace made of tanager feathers. Her nose is spattered with light freckles. A very distinct scar runs from her left eyebrow, over her eye, and down her cheek from an injury she sustained as an apprentice. Sleetpalm has always been detail-oriented and hard working, but never had the patience for hunting or patrols. She prefers to work with her hands. She helps around camp in building shelters, making weapons, and constructing fishingpoles. Her specialty is giving tattoos to brave volunteers. She is kind, teasing, and stubborn. She enjoys spending time with the younger members of the clan and is known to get into a bit of trouble with Marestar. One time she rigged a cot for a grumpy warrior so that he collapsed onto the floor after getting into bed.N/A but open to family
Brittlecolt ➳ 15 years old ➳ Guard Apprentice ➳ Male ➳ Bisexual ➳ He's tall for his age but has not yet grown into his long limbs. He has naturally ebony skin and dark eyes. His hair is kept closely cut to his skull. He has some piercings in his left ear and through septum of his broad nose. He has a clever smile and is much quicker and stronger than he looks, despite his lankiness. Brittlecolt was built for running long distances and for climbing treacherous rocks. He is a reserved person who does not often assert his own opinions. He carries a lot of pride and does his damndest to impress the older members of the clan. He has a hot temper, but is typically seen as quite soft-spoken. He is ambitious and clever, though he can sometimes neglect the less glamorous of his duties.

[ I'm really digging this idea! Will be keen to join when it opens C:
Mind if I use this post as a name claim?
Jackdawheart
➳ 29 ➳ Craftsman ➳ Male ➳ Heterosexual ➳
Fairly pale in comparison to most, Jackdawheart is a tall, slim built individual. Named after a Jackdaw for his dark tangle of locks after his birth - akin to the colour of a Jackdaw's feathers - he continued to become rather an embodiment of the bird; spending much of his time during his early childhood wandering off in his own thoughts or watching crafters from afar. Comparatively to guards and providers, Jackdawheart seems soft and unmarked, with little scars or battle-wounds over his skin. His hands, on the other hand, are hard and battered from years of crafting, experimenting, and building. He has cornflower blue eyes surrounded by a rim of long, dark lashes, as well as clear pale cheeks that blush at a moments notice.
Jackdawheart is extremely inquisitive, expressing a lot of interest in the idea of building things. He is rather experimental, also, trying new techniques and mentally forming blueprints of potentially new tools. His rather intelligent, but soft spoken; often keeping his musings to himself. As a child he was often left to his own devices (his mother was rather frivolous), lending Jackdawheart to become sufficient in just himself. Being introverted, many will not take much notice of the tall, dark-haired man looming at the edge of the crowd, however he is quite the interesting specimen.
Open to siblings and the like!
Wolfsight
➳ 61 ➳ Medicine Person ➳ Male ➳ Heterosexual ➳
Wolfsight is considered old for the clans standards though he doesn't seem that way. His eyes crease with every smile, his face has a slight droop to the skin, and he is so thin that one might believe a breeze would knock him to the ground. Yet, Wolfsight is perky and alert - he navigates the undergrowth like a provider in their prime. He is short - even more so now that his back has a slight bend - and he has sun-kissed skin. When he was younger he wasn't particularly a handsome man, his nose is crooked from a childhood accident, his eyelashes are so thin they may as well be nonexistent, and his eyes are sunken, given him the appearance of eye bags. He has brunette hair that is now turning grey. It is long enough that he is able to tie it back, though he can be spotted with his hair down. He has hazel eyes.
A sickly child, Wolfsight grew up to be behind many of his peers; he wasn't as big or as strong, and was constantly being cooped up in the medicine hut. As a child he despised it and acted snarky, retaliating whenever asked to take medicine, this lead to him pretending he wasn't ill, which often made his sickness worse. Thankfully, as he grew older he did not fall sick so often, but he found himself knowing more about medicine then hunting or fighting; nor did he feel as though he couldn't do either. It was a slow-burning process, but Wolfsight found himself being pulled into the world of medicine. He is very intelligent and quite spiritual, making him a natural choice to be a medicine person. He can get carried away in his own ramblings (much to the dismay of his patients) but there is a charm to his oddities. He will often talk in semantics, giving advice through what can be considered confusing language, though he believes all must forge their own path.
Open to kin.
Brindletress
➳ 26 ➳ Provider ➳ Female ➳ Bisexual ➳
One paragraph description of physical appearance (build, coloring, facial features, etc.)
One paragraph description of personality and history
Family members and/or extra information (mate, crush, etc.)
Fletchcolt
➳ 17 ➳ Provider Apprentice ➳ Female ➳ Heterosexual ➳
Fletchcolt is quite a pretty young lady, with chopped, wavy hair that tickles her neck. It is not long enough to tie back in it's entirety so she will sometimes tie back the top layer of hair to keep it out of her face. Her hair is a chocolately brown in colour. Fletchcolt has dark, doe-brown eyes that are updated - and expressive dark eyebrows. She is somewhat on the shorter side and has plenty of ticks and marks from her rough training. Most notably, she has a scar that runs through her right eyebrow that has affected the hair growth - the scar is only about 4cm.
Named after the impressive skills of her father, whom died only a moon before her birth, Fletchcolt has made her life's mission to master the use of a bow and arrow; just like her father once had. Her ambitions and goals can often time cause her to lose her patience for all things that don't including hunting. It can be an amusing sight, watching the teen flare up in the heat of irritation as she performs menial tasks about camp - yet out in the forest, she is a completely different person. Each movement is precise and skilled (albeit not perfect, she is an apprentice after all), any mistake she does make whilst hunting is met with a fierce spark of resilience.
Open to relations. Father died before her birth.

Thanks! I love unique ideas like this C: It actually reminds me when I was a kid, I used to play pretend outside by myself (ah, the days of playing outside) where I was in a person clan much like warriors xD This just brought back a swathe of memories.

I never had anyone IRL who read warriors (it wasn't such a big thing in Australia) so I just used to pretend to be like 5 characters at once xD Ahhhh, so young. But yes I agree, I've always loved the idea of clans and roles and whatnot.
Sweet! I will have Wolfsight be a med-man than, 'Wolfsight' sounds kind of ~spiritual~ so I feel like it is fitting Cx

I bet it was a sight to behold when I was running around the yard, that's for sure lol! It's great you had someone introduce you!
Thanks! Was there anything else you needed a hand with at the moment? I'd be happy to offer opinions - but it also sounds like you are busy irl so if you haven't the chance to work on it right now that obviously fine!

Maybe it could become a tradition that each deputy can only be chosen after going through a bunch of trials? And they have to be a certain age?

I think the idea of there being controversy regarding the deputy is good. What if there was a popular choice like Buffmuscle who everyone was pretty sure would be deputy, but when Marestar hesitates and doesn't want to give him the position it kind of confuses others and makes Buffmuscle a bit cranky? xD Could just add that layer of hostility.

Maybe they stopped using the trials because too many of the clan's warriors died while attempting them just to become deputy?
And I think I'll just claim the second medicine man/woman. My character will be female.

Should we also look into how many children the women have? Like are twins and triplets a rarity in the clan or more of a common thing? And do we limit the number of children women have? And what would the clan's thoughts be on having more than one child at a time? Will they be more patriarchal or matriarchal? Or will it be equal opportunity for all? Will there be any discrimination? And what ethnicity? Or will it be a mixed ethnic clan?

And regarding clothing, maybe warriors only wear the furs of predators? They wear the pelts of predators to show how strong they are. The more pelts they have, the stronger they are. As for pelts from herbavores, they're used for bedding, rugs and blankets because they're more common. And for the tots and apprentices to wear too.

I obviously don't speak for Glow, but in my opinion people would most frequently only have one child but sometimes there are exceptions, like in real life. Also given the way people work I feel like mothers could have multiple tots at a time, but minimum 9 months apart.
I think a mother or father could take whatever roles they want in terms of their children - sometimes it's shared or sometimes it's mostly the mother, sometimes it's mostly the father, given on the nature of that couple's particular relationship. But overall I feel it's equal opportunity?
Given the PG13 nature of the forums I feel as though we should probably avoid heavy topics such as discrimination; lets just let everyone be who they are C: Also regarding ethnicity, I feel as though people can be free to make whoever they want look the way they please - y'know, at some point we can have creative liberty haha.
Although Glow correct me at any of these points! That's just my general thoughts and opinions.

Yeah, agreed on all fronts Glow!
I think wearing pelts is a good idea! I also imagine them wearing some sort of linen/cloth/wool underlayer though - keeps warm in winter, and during summer they can take off the pelts. Given the temperature issue, perhaps they don't use pelts to display their strength but teeth? Like a necklace? That's what I would think anyways haha Cx

They might not have cloth, since this is a time where things like cloth may not necessarily be able to be made, but maybe weaving clothes from certain leaves.. they may be able to make linen too. Linen is a rather light fabric though. What about silk worms?
