it’s that time of the year where i wanna make a clan
so i kinda want to remake an incredibly old clan of mine (like, original forums old, but hey it was very successful with 1000+ pages /end bragging here)
It’s called hibiscusclan, but i want to change it around a bit, make it somewhat more “unique” than a typical clan
originally it was set in Hawaii, but this time I think it would be fun to try out a fiji setting?? Still going for tropical, paradise island, but somewhere else
also have some rank ideas and whatnot
ocean's oracle - the leader of the clan, but unlike normal clans, they don’t take the -star in their name as this clan doesn’t have starclan (different beliefs to be explored), not sure if they have nine lives either. oracles simply keep their name as is, so for example fireheart would stay fireheart even as leader. leadership is passed down to one of the leader’s kits, either the leader picking which kit as their successor or the kit being chosen by the divine itself. they have the closest connection to the divine and receive the signs and warnings from the spirits.
counselors - elders of the clan, perhaps some of the most important members. while they are retired from old duties, they are called upon during difficult times when the oracle needs their wisdom and wishes to seek out other opinions
healers - the medicine cats of the clan, there is no limit to how many cats in the clan can be a healer. if a cat has an aptitude for learning how to heal then they may chose to become a healer
hunters - hunters of the clan who provide the food, again, any cat can become a hunter
scouts - the soldiers, they patrol the territory and fight in any battles. a patrol of healers or hunters must always include at least one scout
wildlife - (not a comprehensive list)
giant manta rays (not around in winter months)
parrotfish, butterflyfish, angelfish, anemonefish, unicornfish, ribbon eels, goatfish, lobsters, frogfish, seahorses, starfish
coral, peacock mantis shrimp
white-tipped shark, black-tipped shark, sicklefin lemon shark, bull shark, tiger shark, nurse shark
green turtle, hawksbill turtle, leatherback turtle, loggerhead turtle
humpback whales, minke whales, fin whales
spinner dolphins, bottlenose dolphins
fiji woodswallow, musk parrot, collard lory, fiji goshawk, red-throated lorikeet, orange fruit dove, fiji parrotfinch
ground frog, tree frog
fiji banded iguana, fiji crested iguana
saltwater crocodile
black and white banded sea snake (venomous), pacific boa
fiji green emo skink, copper-tailed skink, rotuma forest gecko, fiji forest gecko
fiji monkey-faced bat, polynesian sheath-tail bat, fijian mastiff bat
that’s kinda all i have right now, im down for any help and input and im excited to see where this goes!

- - "From the ocean we came..." Many generations ago did the cats of HibiscusClan emerge from the clear blue ocean and set paw onto land. These first cats, created by the water itself, made their home near the shore in the protective foliage of the jungle. Seasons upon seasons have gone by. HibiscusClan remains as strong as ever, and now it is your turn to journey into this paradise and create your own legacy here in the land by the sea.- - "and to the ocean we return..." |

heyy, Fea! c:
i actually think i distantly remember hibiscusclan... /squinting in memory
sounds vaguely familiar from the old forums. ^^
i noticed it was set up in a tropical area - paradise o.o
and i had a clan called coastalclan a while ago, set in a tropical location.
i did some serious research into plants that grew in those climates and how they could be used medically.
some of the herbs are the same old, same old, but a lot of them are ones i've researched.
all this to say, if you were interested in using the list, or even just a few of the herbs off of it, i'd be glad to provide it. c:
i feel a bit creatively spread thin (like butter scraped over too much bread) at the moment
but i can be a sounding board! if you want someone to bounce ideas off of!
i'm here if you want, just give me a shout ~

blu!! hi!
original hibiscusclan was so long ago, i'm surprised that anybody even vaguely remembers it xD
i haven't done much research into plant life just yet, focusing mostly on the animals right now, but if you wouldn't mind letting me use your plant list i'd love to have it! i feel like it'd be a great addition, and honestly doing that is help enough! c':

ah yess, blu is old. xD
i've technically been on the sight since... beginning of sixth grade? o.O
i keep crawling back lol.
you're doing great with the wildlife!
that's an impressive and informative list ~
np, here you are, dear!
Gumbo-limbo - these trees are thick trunked canopy trees with red, constantly peeling bark. They grow near the two-leg village and were once tapped, giving the cats access to the resin within. This can be used topically to help with rashes, sores, and insect bites.
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.
Sleeping Lady - these plants are sensitive and close when touched, which are where the name comes from. This is great for calming cats and inducing sleep, often used to treat insomnia, depression, and panic-attacks. Also good for calming muscle spasms and nerve pain.
Aloe Vera - Dark green, mostly stem-less plant with long, thick fleshy leaves that fan out from the center. Filled with soothing gel that is great for treating burns and skin irritations.
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.
Coriander - The small tan seeds of a small plant with asymmetrical pink flowers. The seeds can be ingested to boost the immune system and fight infections.
Cinnamon Bark - Peeled from the trunk of a sharp smelling evergreen, this bark is great for reducing spasms, reducing fevers, and stimulating appetite.
Clove - The flowering buds from an evergreen with small white flowers. Cloves are usually used to treat cats with minor colds and infections.
Comfrey - Small plant with large, broad leaves and small, purple bell-shaped flowers. Roots can be chewed into a poultice to treat broken bones, soothe open wounds, and heal wrenched or twisted claws. The leaves can ease stiffness in muscles and reduce swelling.
Garlic - Strong smelling plant with white roots. Can be chewed and ingested to combat sickness. Can be applied to bites and scratches to prevent infection. It's strong smell can also disguise scent.
Ginger - This sweet smelling root can be chewed to help with nausea or applied to relief muscle pain, inflammation, and other general pain.
Bayberry - Evergreen shrub with leaves that spiral around the stems and small reddish-purple fruits. Fruits can be eaten to reduce fevers or used in poultices as a topical aid. If too much of the juices are ingested it can cause a cat to loose their balance and lower their inhibitions.
Horseradish - Thick, low lying plant with large, crinkly leaves that have ragged edges and tall white flowers on thin stalks. The roots can be swallowed to help ease colds, treat sinus infections, relief pain, ease toothaches, and aid in digestion.
Lime - A tall, thorny bush with round leaves that are narrow in the middle(hourglass shaped). 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.
Spike Plant - Skinny plants with long stems, sparse leaves, and tiny purple flowers. When swallowed, the leaves can ease colds and minor coughs. (really doubt this was the scientific name for the plant, but idk what it was originally, sorry!)
Parsley - Low lying plant with broad, crinkly leaves and tiny clumps of yellow or white flowers. No real use although can be used to stop milk flow in queens who have lost their litters. Is known to be poisonous to birds.
Pepper - Cultivated by grinding the fruit of a flowering vine, pepper is a great swelling reducer and pain reliever. It can also suppress appetites so it's often used in traveling herbs.
Rosemary - Low lying evergreen with needle-like leaves and pink, purple, or white flowers. It has a distinct smell and the leaves can be swallowed to induce vomiting.
Saragundi - Leafy plant with broad leaves and big orange-yellow flowers. Can be used to ease rashes.
Thyme - Has very small, narrow and elliptical, dark leaves. Small, pink stemmed buds grow out of the topmost leaves. Thyme is generally combined with other herbs. Alone can be eaten to treat headaches and toothaches.
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.
