 Roots"You are the Roots that hold together the last of the Clans." The Premise
A twoleg-created disease infects the cats of the lake. No medicine cat is able to find a cure, and cats are dropping like flies days after becoming infected. Healthy cats have made the difficult decision to leave the lake and search for their knew home, although it doesn't go all as planned.
***
After being force to flee their old home by the lake, a group of clan cats arrive to a coastal bush-land area that has a high population of kittypets and rogues. Ashwhisker has stepped up to take on a role of leader, encouraging all the clans that the safest way to carry on the legacy of the clans is if they form one clan. Robinflight does not want to be led by Ashwhisker as they believe that they should be leader instead. This argument causes Muse B to leave the group and they encourage anyone who wants be led by Robinflight should leave too.
The ragtag group of clan cats are now divided, and no matter how much they wish for there to be peace, hostility grows between the two clans.

Camps
The camps are rather generic, truth be told, so I won't go into too much depth. GroveClan resides in an area where the slope moves downwards. Each den is located within rocky crevices, with the Leaders den being the highest on the slope, the Queens are slightly lower, with Elders just to the right of the Queens nook. Apprentices are further down, and finally, Warriors are at the very front of the camp, looking down the slope and being the first to know of any potential intruders. The medicine cat has a small nook just above the warriors den.
 RindleClan resides in the middle of their territory where the slope begins to level out. Their camp is denoted by the mossy boulders and great trees with winding, interlocking roots. The medicine cat stores their herbs in a small series of tunnels among the roots of a particularly large tree. The leader lives in the hollow of a fallen tree. Warriors reside in the cleft of a mossy rock overhang, a small area in the back of the overhang have been dug out so the area is soft and warm. Apprentices live amongst the roots of another tree. Queens live in the protection of a small cave amongst the rocks, it slopes downwards and has been dug out to provide more space. Elders live in the hollow of a fallen tree near the nursery entrance.
The Territory
This RP is set in a coastal town that has rolling hills filled with lush bushland.
 The clans camps resides to the right of this picture; imagine first a train track, then a hill that slopes down towards a gully. At the base of this gully is a fresh water stream and mossy boulders. The stream is wide enough that it is easy enough to wade across however most cats would prefer to use a set of stones to cross, further upstream is a fallen log however this has been claimed by GroveClan.
Every full moon when the Clans meet for the Gathering they have agreed to meet atop of a fallen monster (in human: car). It has long since passed and it's hard outer shell has become overgrown with moss, it's interior is full of leaf litter - it is truly dead. The two proclaimed leaders sit atop the monster which is in a clearing, allowing the moon light to stray through the branches above. The Gathering Place is located a short distance from the Gully Stream and on the border of the two territories.
Another notable landmark that is not claimed by either clan is the Thundering Tunnel. It is said that the Thunder Beast (in human: a train) once called this tunnel home but it is now empty. No cat has ever been all the way through the tunnel, however, it must end somewhere for every now and again a gust of wind will make the eerie dark entrance howl. The Thundering Tunnel is located at the top of the hill, near the Thunder Beast Trail (in human: train tracks). The Thunder Beast Trail must be crossed for cats to enter twolegplace.
The Gully Stream
Thundering Tunnel Gathering Place
GroveClan
GroveClan is located further up the slope, so their territory can be denoted by exhausting inclines, rocky slopes, and waterfalls. If one was to traverse UP the Gully Stream they would come across the Waterfall, a feature of GroveClan's territory. Some brave cats have taken to fishing and swimming in this area. Many interesting creatures can be found in the rocks such as crabs and turtles which is great amusement for apprentices and young warriors. The Waterfall is only a short distance from the camp so on a nice day it can be a hub for social interaction.
Further downstream there is a fallen tree that acts as a bridge for crossing the stream. It is moss-covered so during rain one must be particularly careful when they cross.
There are a peculiar set of rocky steps formed into the wall of a rock. No one knows how they got there but they are a fascinating fixture. These rocky steps are towards the bottom of the slope (near the clan border). The area surrounding is full of bare stone and rocky slopes, excellent for hunting.
Waterfall
Rock Steps
Tree Bridge
Being towards the lower end of slope, the stream enters RindleClan in a rushing fashion however RindleClan's territory levels out quickly, meaning that the stream becomes calmer. Nearby camp, the stream babbles peacefully and cats have become accustomed to fishing and wading through the water. Turtle Rock is named as such due to the abundance of turtles that climb onto the rocks, kits and apprentices often have fun scaring them away. The stream serves as a hub for social gatherings when the weather is nice as it is one of the few places in the territory that gets satisfactory light.
Deeper into the territory is a mossy thicket which hides an abundance of prey. Most of the territory is covered with ferns, fallen trees, and mossy outcrops; some cats may find it dark and depressing, others thrive.
Near the Thunder Beast Trail towards twolegplace, a strange abandoned twoleg nest remains untouched for moons. Sometimes warriors will hunt there, but often the medicine cat will find many satisfactory herbs.
Turtle Rock
Mossy Thicket
Abandoned Twoleg Nest
Twoleg Place
 Twoleg Place has a swath of houses, yards, parks, and greenery. Most notably though it is a coastal town, meaning it is right beside the beach. The local kittypets and rogues are very accustomed to the hustle-bustle of the twolegs, but the high population of twolegs can be a shock to the clan-born cats. It won't be often that the clans will need to interact with the beach, but if they ever do, just know one thing: it can be extremely dangerous. Twolegs let their dogs roam free on the sandy shore and greenways, if not careful a cat will become a fun new toy to one of the dogs.

Subplots
➤ Rookpelt is from GroveClan and Bur is from RindleClan. They meet one day, fleeting, near the border as they stalked the same piece of prey. Bur makes the mistake of overstepping the clan boundaries which leads to the two to meeting on GroveClan territory. Giving them a warning, Rookpelt lets Bur go. The pair seem to encounter often to the point where they purposely hunt at the border and wait to see if the other will appear. It gets to the point where feelings undeniably have formed but Bur has settled in their clan and Rookpelt doesn't want to leave his brother in GroveClan. They live for their fleeting moments at the border. When tensions rise between the two clans they need to make a decision: end the border romance, unite in one clan, or continue their forbidden love secretly despite the odds.
➤ Olive is a former kittypet who is extremely nervous joining the clan as they lack any survival abilities. Ashwhisker is from GroveClan and he takes Olive under his wing to help her learn and grow.

WOO WOO!
look amazing my friend - always in awe of your skill! Typical allegiances works great for me. I'm excited to pick this up again!
I'm finishing up my posts for Heron x Ripple clan stuff in our other thread, but I can bop over here after I finish them and start brainstorming some stuff and making new characters to add in so we can flesh things out.
If it helps, I can try and find the posts where we left off? Unless you wanna make a clean break and start anew. I know that we had some other folks involved that we'll have to work through - what do you think?

[ thank you!! Cx
all good! i'm supposed to be doing some maths study right now so i will be a bit poofy (doing the pomodoro method). i'll be getting some characters together inbetween. i'm basically already using all my usual characters over the ~3 other RPs i'm doing so i need to make some new ones xD i coded a random warrior cat name generator a few weeks ago so it shouldn't take too long. just get the name and write some descriptions.
hmmm let's kind of pick up where we left off. it doesn't have to be exactly the same place, but let's say that they have arrived and are settling for the first night in what they believe may be their new home. ashwhisker has uncovered the 'fallen monster' (which will be their gathering place) and some cats have gone to hunt and get food. from there we can start to go into the political side of it where some cats naturally are looking at ashwhisker for the next instruction but others are looking to robinflight. what do you think?

Hah! Same here xD I'll make some new ones.
Sounds good to me. I am on board. Do you wanna pick up with Rookpelt and Moorwhisper then, as well? I can make a starter post with Robinflight sort-of-thing and have her and Ashwhisker interacting in some way? Then we can weave in from there?

Okay I've got my names, just gotta throw in the descriptions! Got all the familiar faces from the OG RP, and a few extras. ALSO, I've put together the starts of a family tree. Feel free to add to it or do anything you want!
I'll write up something for Moorwhisper and Rookpelt. Maybe for Robinflight/whoever and Ashwhisker we can start by I guess them talking about the current situation. Ashwhisker could make a decision (e.g., 'I want to travel up the slope and see if we can find a good camp') but Robinflight turns around and wants to go down the slope. Maybe?

[ Awesome! Added them all. RIP Cedarpelt lol
Now, was there anything else you had in mind for any of your other characters? A fun plot or a specific character arc you wanted to do? Other than Ashwhisker and Robinflight at the start of the RP there isn't really a distinct 'main character' so we are free to do whatever we want.
OH also, the clan names. On the OG page I think it was GroveClan for ClanOne and RindleClan for ClanTwo, you happy to still do that? ]

[ whoops!
Hmmm... I remember there being plots with Rookpelt and Bur from the OG plan. And then Olive and Ashwhisker. I'll copy and paste them here c:
Rookpelt is from ClanOne and Bur is from ClanTwo. They meet one day, fleeting, near the border as they stalked the same piece of prey. Bur makes the mistake of overstepping the clan boundaries which leads to the two to meeting on ClanOne territory. Giving them a warning, Rookpelt lets Bur go. The pair seem to encounter often to the point where they purposely hunt at the border and wait to see if the other will appear. It gets to the point where feelings undeniably have formed but Bur has settled in their clan and Rookpelt doesn't want to leave his brother in ClanOne. They live for their fleeting moments at the border. When tensions rise between the two clans they need to make a decision: end the border romance, unite in one clan, or continue their forbidden love secretly despite the odds.
Olive is a former kittypet who is extremely nervous about joining the clan as they lack any survival abilities. Ashwhisker is from ClanOne and he takes Olive under his wing to help her learn and grow.
We can keep these for later, or get rid of them, either way is fine with me. I am cooking up some prophecy, maybe with something with a group of apprentices or young warriors?
Also thinking - we could get really deep with the political dialogue on this one. Really have people hashing things out. I was kind of imagining that Rookpelt would take the role of advisor for Ashwhisker, but his nature doesn't really lend well to politics, so he kind of stays out of the concrete decisions, though he's always there. Maybe we could each have one of our characters be the kind of "right hand" of Ashwhisker and Robinflight, like potential deputies?
I also kind of want to get Mistyfall and Pinefoot involved because they're new characters for me hehe c:
Anyway, that's all for me. Anything you wanna do?
Yes! Both clan names are good with me! ]

Post by aether on Dec 30, 2021 21:58:34 GMT -5
Yeah! I'd love to continue the plot with those two!
I'm down for some of the apprentices to do something as part of the prophecy! Snowpaw is my more outgoing and physically talented apprentice whilst Hootpaw is more calculated and smart.
Yeah! Well it will definitely be a new era for the Clans so if there are any political or systematic changes that are going to happen, it'll be now. If Ashwhisker was expecting Rookpelt to be his deputy but then Rookpelt gets tangled with Bur it would likely cause some tension between the two, as Ashwhisker wouldn't want to betray his brother but also would get frustrated. I'd be down to see Archstep taking Robinflight's side. He is a level-headed tom who generally makes good decisions and seeing as they are both from ThunderClan is makes sense he would respect Robinflight immensely.
I was thinking of having Moorwhisper step into a medicine cat role a little begrudgingly. She has enough knowledge of herbs to get by but doesn't want to commit to a life where she can't have a mate one day.
What kind of cats are Mistyfall and Pinefoot? C: ]

ROBINFLIGHT
ashwhisker | new territory | aether
The late afternoon sun cast long shadows as it moved through its western descent. The sky was a clear and vivid blue, cloudless and expansive over the tall trees that surrounded the ragtag group of traveling cats. It was nearing Greenleaf now, though a wet bitterness still hung in the air. It lingered, especially amidst the mossy landscape into which they had wandered. Robinflight rather preferred this type of weather. It was clear, and the birds sang joyfully in their nests. The world was alight with new life, ushered in by alternating sunlight and showers. It was pure alchemy, the changing of the seasons. The ecology of their surroundings could never thrive without the perfect balance of cloudcover and sunshine. Though unfamiliar almost entirely, the former ThunderClan deputy could find comfort in the knowledge that this territory, too, ebbed and flowed with the changing climate of their lives. And still, even amidst all this beauty, her heart felt heavy with memories those she had left behind. The disease had come quickly, beginning first with the elders, then with the kits, and so on. At first, it seemed manageable - perhaps just a bad greencough season - but its descent was ruthless. When young, healthy warriors and apprentices began to bend to its power, the decision to leave seemed clear, but that was not enough to stem the tide of sorrow that accompanied their journey. Robinflight heaved a heavy sigh, curling her tail around her paws. She was sitting on a rocky outcropping, its surface covered in moss. Her amber gaze, dimmed by melancholy, was cast out into some distant place beyond the clearing of trees that stood before her. If only you two could see this place... Her thoughts were cast up into StarClan, where she desperately hoped her message was being received.
After a contemplative moment, the ginger molly huffed a short breath and set her chin, straightening into her dutiful positon once again. These sorrowful thoughts were of no use, at least not now, anyway. There were decisions to be made. She got to her feet and shook out her pelt, before smoothing the hair on her chest with a few swift licks. What the group needed now was strength and resolve, not a weepy, nostalgic kit. They had been traveling for moons before finding where they rested now. It was quite nice, actually, with its fortuitous tree cover and rocky inlets. A nearby water source babbled promisingly, and prey sounds were abundant. Well, at least compared to what they were used to hearing throughout their journe so far. Despite her approval, Robinflight was still tense and untrusting. The mercurial nature of their fortune had left her jaded and uncomfortable with any sort of adequacy, and this was no exception. She had been a stalwart figure this entire time, maintaining her calm and objectivity in times of crisis. It served her well as deputy and served her well now, as some sort of defacto leader in tandem with Ashwhisker. The molly rolled her eyes at the thought of the tom. No doubt he will be elated by the prospects of this place. She could almost hear his optimistic ramblings now, going on about "settling in" and "finally finding a new home." It was infuriatingly naïve, at least to her. For some reason, other cats seemed to take to his juvenile sanguinity. She couldn't understand. And, on top of all of this, there was this grand discovery of his that had everybody chirping likea flock of gossiping starlings. Some dead monster, covered in moss and growth, groaning under the forces of nature. There had been shock and awe across the board, and for what reason? It would be of no use to them, not immediately anyway. Right now, they mustn't get too comfortable. Not until they could be sure everything was alright.
Nevetheless, Robinflight set out to find her default comrade in arms. She made her way through the undergrowth and over knotted tangles of twisted roots until she returned to the small clearing where the displaced clan cats were gathered. With a few murmured greetings and brief pleasantries, she made it through the see of refugees, before finding the grey and white tabby fur of Ashwhisker, seated at the edge of the treeline and looking out over a slope. There was a look of deep thought on the tom's countenance. Robinflight felt her heart sink nearly to her toes. Here we go again... The ginger molly slowed as she neared him, clearing her throat to garner his attention. "The place is nice, so far at least. I have heard that prey is running well," she meowed in her characteristically cool tone. Her amber gaze flashed to see the slope before him. "What are you looking at?" The slightest bit of confusion echoed in her tone, ears flicking toward the tom.

[ Great yes! Awesome. So Lilypaw is quiet and reserved, and has an interest in herbs and medicine, so I was picturing her as a medicine cat kind of character. Maybe fun to have her apprentice with Moorwhisper, because she's kind of a know it all and a medicine cat junkie (she was med cat apprentice before), so she would be judgy of her I think xD
Kestrelpaw is hard headed and kind of arrogant, but a softy once you get to know him. Smokepaw is very serious and doesn't like it when people goof off, though he's kind of a late bloomer compared to his counterparts. That's kind of where I see them falling. What if we tried to do something with all five of them as, like, the next host of leaders? We could follow them through to their adulthood and whatnot, and the prophecy could predict where they land in terms of leadership? I am also totally fine with killing one of them off for the ~drama~, though I think I'd pick Kestrelpaw for that. Thoughts?
Yes, perfect, I love that idea. Rookpelt is definitely loyal and principled, though I kind of see him as a cheerful little romatic who thinks he likes the rules bu actually doesn't want to follow them. Makes him great for a forbidden romance kind of plot because he leads with his heart. Yes, Archstep is great.
I love the idea with Moorwhisper. I was actually seeing Fernleap as the other medicine cat, whichever clan. She also has a bit of herbal knowledge but the drama would be that she already has a son, Smokepaw. Kind of would be an interesting political change for the clans? Was also thinking maybe Pinefoot, though, because toms are rarely medicine cats I feel like, and hes very smart.
Mistyfall is gentle and kind, and known for being of rational and sound mind. She doesn't like fighting or conflict, so it kind of makes her bad at politics in a way, because she always tries to resort to diplomacy. However, it would be interesting to have her maybe pair up with Ashwhisker in a deputy position because she adds a kind of "peace and love" aspect. Pinefoot, as mentioned before, is very, very smart. He is very skilled and has the ability to learn new things very quickly. He shares his sister's gentle nature, though he can be kind of a know it all, too. I'm excited to use them! ]

[ I would love that xD Not only does Moorwhisper not even really want to do the role, but she also is paired with someone who she may tend to butt heads with (Moorwhisper would definitely get at least a little defensive if Lilypaw tries to run the show lol). Fernleap also sounds good! She wouldn't be the first medicine cat to have a mate and kits before stepping into the role, but there would undoubtedly be some cats who disagree with it or will need convincing before they accept it. Sunblaze is pretty opinionated so would likely judge her for it, at the very least xD
Ooooooh I like that idea! Like eventually the two clans get rebuilt back into 5 : o They wouldn't have the exact characteristics of the OG five (since there's no moor for a clan like WindClan) but they evolve into a new set. Interesting thought! Although drama in the form of murdering innocent OCs is also fun :thinking: It would also be very shocking if an APPRENTICE is among the first of the cats to die whilst in their new homes and would likely send shock waves through both clans.
Rookpelt x Bur LETSGO. Bur was raised her whole life in the mossy thicket that will eventually be claimed by RindleClan, so she wouldn't really want to leave. I can foresee her eventually moving into GroveClan if we decided to go that way, but it would take convincing.
They sound great! We can definitely weave them into a plot somewhere ^-^ Mistyfall sounds like a great candidate for Ashwhisker's political side-kick since Ashwhisker is generally diligent but can get lost in deciding what is best.
Also, I'll be working on replies shortly! ]

 Moorwhisper
- With - [ Rookpelt ]
- Location - [ The Stream ]
- Tag - [ parisiansteve ]
The silver tabby molly felt the ooze of moisture on her pawpads as she stepped nearer the babbling water-body. The bank here isn't too stable. She noted silently, accustomed after her many moons of training to be aware of the signs that would seem non-important to an inexperience cat. The softened earth indicated this bank was mostly sand beneath the leaf-litter that blanketed it, and with sandy banks came the need to take care when placing ones paws. She turned his attention back to the SkyClan warrior, hearing his words, but all meaning was lost as the ground beneath his paws bowed particularly awkwardly. "Rook-" Her warning was too little to late. She ducked her head, closing her eyes as a spray of water droplets showered her pelt. Be careful there, she'd been meaning to say.
Fortunately the water wasn't too deep. When the tom emerged from the water, splattering while he caught his footing, Moorwhisper felt more amusement than concern. "Scared all the fish? Looks like you've become one yourself." She turned her head away to chuckle as she always did - something about laughing around others made her feel embarrassed. It was only for a moment before she glanced at him again, "I think you are too furry to catch, though." Her voice softened with the teasing and she placed her paw forward, testing the earth with a brief push before she rested her weight on it. Another step forward and she was looking down at the water, blinking at her own silver face that rippled with every movement from Rookpelt.
With all the humidity of the forest she was sure there must be some respite for Rookpelt having fallen into the cool water, though she did not envy his thick SkyClan pelt; to wait for it to the dry would be painstakingly long. "I suppose we can say the first part of learning to hunt fish it to think like a fish. You've done well there," her words were said in jest though she spoke it with a straight face, as though an actual piece of advice. "Now that you are a fish, you'd be fearful of any paw that swiped at you," she rose a paw and used it to bop Rookpelt's head gently, her eyes glimmering, however her tone was thoughtful.

Was there a meaning to the fallen monster? A sign from StarClan? Ashwhisker's brows furrowed pensively, has StarClan led us to a land that is habitable for us, but inhabitable for monsters? His heart fluttered with his optimism, the forest is so full of prey; cats returning from patrols are bringing enough for moons! His thoughts were an exaggeration, those who were returning from their patrols brought as much as they can carrying though it would not be enough for an entire moon. Dawnrunner, the beautiful WindClan warrior, had strutted back to the clearing with a pigeon clamped between her jaws. As she laid it down she had puffed out her chest. Even she, accustomed to scouring the moors for rabbits and hawks, was thriving in the dense undergrowth. The tom turned him solemn gaze to the gathering of cats, the last of what remained of the five great clans, and he knew they were just as tired as he. Snowpaw laid on her side in a nest of dried leaves beneath the monster, she groomed her flank with long, lazy swipes of her tongue after eating her fill of freshkill. Beside her, Hootpaw crouched tightly on her paws with her bushy tail curled over her toes and her eyes half-closed as she fought the urge to sleep.
We cannot travel forever, and this is the best we've seen so far. The journey had found them trekking precariously through twoleg-touched landscapes and barren earth that was uninhabited by prey. He turned his head to look back out over the forest and closed his eyes as a warm Greenleaf breeze rustled his pelt... it felt right.
A voice approaching perturbed him and he stifled the urge to sigh. Robinflight.Perhaps more difficult than the journey was constantly having to navigate solutions with the former ThunderClan deputy. Ashwhisker stood as she neared and waved his tail in greeting. Undoubtedly, he had great respect for the senior. There were times aplenty in which she offered a strong and valuable opinion, or when her leadership talents had aided them through difficult situations, however... I'm not just a young warrior - I want to lead!
"I was just looking over the territory," he meowed in reply, his voice unwavering, "I was thinking about sending some patrols - once others have rested, of course. I thought it would be a good idea to explore further up the slope," he pointed with his nose as he spoke, gesturing towards the incline. It was riddled with half buried boulders and trees that shot up wherever there was space. Frankly, it was appealing to the former SkyClan tom due to his own experience hunting in the rocky territory at the former camp. His hind legs were muscles beneath his pelt allowing for him to easily navigate the steep territory, likewise, they aided in tall jumps. "I figure if we go up the slope there will be some shelter somewhere in the rocks." He explained, turning his attentions back to the ginger molly before him.

aether posting in this one so she gets some lerrrrv <3
anyway, so the forums are being wonky for me right now. You may have gotten my NUTSO messages xD
I can post again, which I wasn't able to a few moments ago, but ProBoards is being picky with things and giving me some error codes. I've been working on my replies and will be able to post everything tomorrow and the next day after classes and work, so there will definitely be some writing on here tomorrow! So sorry for the series of let downs here - life's been slippery the past week or so. I'll be back in more consistent action soon.
Sorry for the confusion! Hope you're well my friend xx
