So I'm making a database for the cats so I can keep track of names and family trees easier........ It's very satisfying to plug these all in.

Good news: with a database, I can run actual analysis on these cats!
I can also really easily tell you that SparkClan has 79 female cats, 59 Male, and 10 non-binary, and 3 genderfluid cats. Wow!
Also in a genius moment of foresight, I added an invisible number column to the sheet so that I can filter results all I want and then can easily resort them back into allegiance order. Nice.

SkyClan is now databased
The SkyClan family tree is really interconnected and idk how I feel about that.

- 4 for headers but. That's still 343 cats. And this is only SparkClan, SkyClan, SnowClan, CreekClan, CliffClan and a few ElmClan. The bigger half, granted, but only half! (The majority of ElmClan, StoneClan, WhistleClan, HeatherClan, and CinderClan aren't even started! And then there's the Order of Crows, Order of Honey and the Wolves/Outlanders to deal with!!!) And these are also only the LIVING cats. I have ~200 dead cats namedropped, and about a quarter of those have full bios already too. Now you see why I need a database to hold all this information and easily crossreference things ;-; Anyone want to play a scavenger hunt? There are four prefixes that are shared by three living cats, can you find them all? There are quite a few double-ups, but they usually have very distinct suffixes and I usually try to make it "realistic" that they share a prefix so either a) they are on opposite sides of the circle and would never come into contact b) are about the same age, so that it's unlikely the mother would have known there was another litter born with a similar name or c) one is a kit and the other is a senior warrior/elder so there's a generation gap I have 600 cats it's impossible to keep them all unique, even using prefixes like Lucent- Zenith- or freaking Tourmaline-

I got all the CreekClan ages and birthdays figured out.
It was a little rough because Scorchfeather has three litters in five years and her youngest are old enough to have their own generation, but it worked out eventually

what's this??? A new Cat??? Limefleck now has a complete character bio~ She's a little anger child who is handling past emotional neglect by being Angry and making Poor Choices.

I'm starting to (slowly) rewrite the old bios into the new format. I really want to flesh out what I have before I move on to the other Clans' cats (I do want to get the general biographies up for each Clan before that tho).
anyways, I did Crowfire of SkyClan.

More shorts up on the lore page btw.

All lore shorts are now correctly crosslinked with: - the top of the lore page / directory - the cat's name in the allegiances [lore] - the cat's extended biography - my database sheet

ElmClan is full of cats now. Still gotta work out the family tree and Crowns, but it's coming along.

Okay I'm going to do something absolutely crazy.
I'm going to try, TRY, to get the about, territory, camp, and borders for CinderClan, HeatherClan, WhistleClan and StoneClan done TODAY
|

Post by Brownie on Jan 28, 2024 1:03:54 GMT -5
OKAY now here's some progress:
StoneClan's allegiances- 100%! Most of it was already done by the short story I was working on last summer. StoneClan's about- 90%! Gonna tweak it but the important bits and bobs are in place StoneClan's territory- 50%! Got the main bits, but landmarks and details are left empty until I can finish the map and/or figure out the Crows StoneClan's camp- 100%! They're kicked out of their main camp (secretly, no one knows this). I might put up the main camp's details later, but it isn't very important right now. It's basically a mirror of CreekClan's camp anyways.
CinderClan's about- 98%! I think I have it all but I know I'm missing something....... CinderClan's territory- 80%! Missing landmarks, but waiting on finishing the map to do all those. CinderClan's camp- 10%! UHHHH they're true nomads so they have no camp, but I want to at least fully describe their "refuge" in Stonespine and have a few on-again off-again options for the other three to show off CnderClan's allegiances- 40-50%? I did the hard parts, which was integrating the cats that moved Clans or had mates in other Clans. Now I just need to do CinderClan's own population.
HeatherClan and WhistleClan next!!! I have a lot of ideas for both; rather, I have a good HISTORY for HeatherClan and a good VIBE for WhistleClan that should get me through both of their about sections rather quickly.
I also really want to go back and edit the about sections for all the other Clans--I've been thinking hard on what physical attributes and patterns each "purebred" Clan should have:
WEST - Bulky, built for strength SnowClan - polydactyly! Thick, strong builds, long fur, light colors. CliffClan - Really bulky builds, thick paw pads, small ears, dark noses, good night vision. Reds/gingers and dark colors common. StoneClan - Bulky builds, short flat tails, webbed paws, oily fur (medium or long). Blues and greys common.
MID - Average, a mix of strength and speed CreekClan - Average builds, webbed paws, sleek but short fur, long whiskers. Rounded features. Mid-toned fur, colorpoints. SkyClan - Average builds, otherwise highly varied. The true middle of the Circle. Many have yellow eyes. ElmClan - Nimble shoulders, strong hindquarters. Very long claws and long tails. Two-toned fur.
EAST - Lithe, built for speed CinderClan - Lithe builds, narrow eyes. Short fur, but with long tufts on the ears, cheeks, paws and tail-tips. Dilutes common. SparkClan - Lithe builds, very long tails, narrow muzzles. Lots of gingers, but also highly varied. HeatherClan - Lithe builds, known for their long legs and tall ears. Many have thicker fur around their neck and chest, like a mane. lots of cinnamons and ticked tabbies. WhistleClan - Average to narrow builds. Short tails and more rounded features, especially compared to their other Eastern fellows. high white-spotting and black/white patched cats are very common. Many cats here have heterochromatic eyes.

My first sketch of the map, from like, over a year ago? But it is fairly accurate to my mental image of the territories when I'm writing descriptions, so it does its job. I'll be making a more detailed and accurate version soon (SkyClan needs a bit fatter territory; ElmClan is slightly too big; CinderClan's shape has changed since I wrote the Districts; SparkClan needs a bit better shape too; the waterways need to be set in stone and better defined) OH and this was made before the CreekClan/StoneClan color swap so yeah the LEFT is StoneClan, CreekClan borders WhistleClan's light green

HeatherClan about is mostly complete, and their territory is rather basic. I'll give them landmarks when I do the map pass but for now it's functional.
Their camp is also complete; they have the coolest camp in the entire Circle imo imagine making a city out of a statue built by the gods themselves

updated the about me / where to start portions of the page to edit in more relevant/up to date information on what is available. I can't BELIEVE it's been almost two years since I started this!! I do love the new character bios but man is it so much harder to do those than, say, SkyClan's bios which were 3 lines MAX. I love it and I wouldn't trade it for anything but I really should convince myself to sit down and do one a day. Even then, it would still take YEARS to do every character....
for all yall that are up and coming and want a place to start: SparkClan in general is a great deep dive, but specifically:
Tortoiseleg's bio & her mate Cactusclaw's bio/short story - not all of their timeline is on paper, but you'll get a lot of clues through these two bios about their history and what they've had to overcome. If you really want to dig and connect some dots, add on SkyClan's, Beavertail, Aspensun, and Darkstone, and then Gilathroat's bio, Frogdrizzle's lore. These are all interconnected and tell a bigger story.
If you dig a little deep into the comments of this page, Thistlescar's history is explained in full. He doesn't have a bio, but does have a short story where he explains why he's being (somewhat politely) stalked by StoneClan's Crescentfox. And then you can learn more about why Crescentfox is in SparkClan at all through his sister, Brookshine, and cousin Violetwave's bios.
Raptorblossom's grief over the death of his mate is silent, but has echoes. Look into his relationships with his kits (Limefleck's is the most detailed, but Windypaw and Moorpaw also have part of the story).
I love Olivesand and Oasisecho's relationship. they are perfect beans.
There's actually a lot of cool relationships in SparkClan: Frostsplash and Skydapple's growing mother-daughter bond; Crystalpaw and Onyxpaw's toxic interactions; Spikyflight and Cicadawing's young love, and Amethystcall's unrequited crush; Briarbite and his relationship with SkyClan, and by extension his brother, Marblejaw; Shadowstrike being an absolute mess

Finally made myself an age calculator so I don't have to manually count months for moons anymore Also that means I have a total moon count: it is moon 673 in the Granite Circle on present day. The world began in December. I don't know if expansions will be exactly January on year 20/40 or if it will have some variation yet. Still working on that

Great job, Brownie with the character and world building. If not for my own work that I needed to do this for, I'd have probably done the same for New Blood. If I ever get my neck issues fixed or at very least get some improvement, I sure will read everything.

Warriors just has something special when it comes to creating Clans that I've never quite found anywhere else. I'll always keep coming back to it even if I should be working on other projects ^^
