Welcome to the valley, home to the cats of Gullyclan. Thanks to our rather spacious territory food is never too much of an issue, even in Leafbare. Although we mainly remain in the more forested part of our territory, we will occasionally venture across the river in search of extra prey or uncommon herbs. Because of our intake of larger prey, the cats of Gullyclan have evolved to become a bit bigger in size than the normal domesticated cats you'd find in Twoleg Place. The cats of the valley typically have longer, well-muscled legs to help them traverse the tall grass that covers the land. Our coats range from short to long, and are thick and dense.
 Gullyclan Camp. Situated on a large ledge on the side of a cliff, the camp is quite spacious with the dens having quite a bit of room inside of them as well. All of the dens, except for the one belonging to the apprentices, are caves that dip downward into the ground upon entry. The Leader's den is a bit higher off of the ground than the other dens, requiring one to use the pile of rocks as steps to enter it. The Nursery is just to the left of the leader's den and has a steeper dip upon entry compared to the other dens, making it harder for young kits (under 5 moons) to exit it without the help of a bigger, older cat. The Medicine-Cat's den, the biggest cave in camp, is to the right of the Leader's den and is covered by a curtain of vines; It's also situated closer to the ledge than the other dens so be careful. The Elders' den is located between the Apprentice's den and the nursery, the opening to this den is bigger compared to the other dens, giving the elders a decent view of camp. The Apprentices' den is under a slightly slanted, large, flat rock; when the weather is nice, the apprentices tend to sleep on top of the rock and some of them can be found lounging here as well during the day. The Warrior's den is also a cave, located just inside the camp entrance. The Rock-Pile is a small pile of large rocks in the middle of camp that the leader, or medicine-cat depending on the circumstances, gathers the clan, makes announcements, and orchestrates ceremonies from. The Freshkill-Pile is next to the Rock-Pile, toward the ledge. To prevent cats or kits from accidentally falling off of the ledge, the steeper parts of it are protected by brambles.Landmark 2. The Moon Rock. A large flat rock situated on a small island between two waterfalls. Cats seeking to consult with Starclan come here on half moon nights and rest on the rock. There are two cherry blossom trees located nearby that tend to scatter petals around the area on windy days. It's also a good place to fish during the warmer seasons, but the water here is usually the first to freeze up when it begins to get cold. Landmark 3. Stepping Stones. A series of stones jutting out from the cliffside that allows the clan to easily hop up or down them when leaving or returning to the cliffside they call home. Landmark 4. Training Grounds. A spacious, mostly empty, clearing where apprentices are trained in hunting and fighting techniques. Landmark 5. The Field. A majority of the prey we hunt are located here. The hills house Hares year round (although they burrow a bit deeper into the ground when it gets cold) and birds and squirrels are usually found in the more forested areas of the fields. Deer can also be found her year round, but we don't hunt them unless given permission by the leader, deputy, and medicine cat to do so. Any cat who does is punished severely, for hunting deer without a large hunting group is extremely dangerous and can be fatal. Landmark 6. Twoleg Campgrounds. A small clearing were Twolegs usually camp out during the warmer seasons. It is advised to stay away from the area when Twolegs are present. Occasionally, kittypets can be found here with their twolegs as well.
Landmark 7. The Bridge. A means of crossing the small stream, leads toward Twoleg Place. Landmark 8. Stone Path. The entrance to Twoleg Place.
Landmark 9. The River. Cuts through the valley, dividing it in two. Only experienced fishers fish here for the water is deeper and moves a bit faster, but larger fish can be found here. Landmark 10. Landslide Debris. A collection of trees, rocks, dirt, and stones that fell during the storm. Now serves as an entry and exit point for/to the mountains. Landmark 11 Abandoned Twoleg Nest. A house long abandoned by it's owners. A brilliant place to find many common herbs and mice but be cautious when inside; It's a two-story house and the floors are rotting, a heavy enough cat could easily fall through and hurt themselves. Landmark 12 The Crater. A rather spacious crater with a few abandoned fox dens and a thorn bush in it. The ground here is quite soft under paw and, miraculously, a cherry blossom tree managed to sprout in the middle of it. Landmark 13. Dead Tree Forest. What used to be a luscious pine forest is now dead due to a fire that ravaged this side of the river long ago. While, elsewhere in the territory, some of the trees have grown back, the same cannot be said for this section here. Crows, ravens, corvids, and moles can be found here, but so can the occasional vulture so be aware of your surroundings when traversing the area. Landmark 14. Old Farmland. An old, overgrown farmland long since abandoned by it's owners. Now it serves as a great source of prey (birds, mice, rabbits, and the occasional wild pig). Because of this, however, quite a few predators frequent the area as well (large birds, foxes, and snakes/adders). Landmark 15. Abandoned Barn. The rarer herbs are found here as well as lots of mice and owls. Landmark 16. The Mountains. Exactly as the name says. The clan cats never venture here, however due to the presence of wolves who are not afraid to let themselves be known. As far as prey we hunt a variety of mice, hares, birds, voles, small fish (Moon Rock), big fish (the river), moles (right side of the territory), the occasional wild piglet (right side of the territory), and the occasional fawn (left side of the territory) should food become particularly scarce. Predators, or animals that are quite dangerous to approach, include a variety of foxes, badgers (left side of the territory), birds of prey, snakes/adders (right side of the territory), and, most importantly, wolves; The wolves usually remain in the mountains. Rarely, during the cold season, however, they'll wander down from the mountains in search of food.

After the Death of Gullyclan's previous leader, Timberstar, his chosen deputy, Stormchaser, journeyed to the Moon Rock - taking the medicine cat with him - to consult with Starclan and receive his 9 lives. However, he was denied his promotion after Timberstar received a message; Stormchaser was not meant to be Gullyclan's leader. Both Stormchaser and Duskwatcher were told the three kits would be born, one of which was destined to be the leader the clan needed.
Furious, Stormchaser begged Duskwatcher to keep this between the two of them, but the medicine cat refused. Crazed with hurt, guilt, shame, and anger, the deputy killed Duskwatcher in front of the entire clan. Still in a crazed state, Stormchaser shed his suffix, going but the name Storm, and exiled all the pregnant queens in the clan, his own mate among them.
Very few cats joined the queens in their exile, some of the clan that remained under Storm's leadership did so either out of fear or because they genuinely believed that Storm is the rightful leader of the clan. Two moons after their exile, the queens and a few others managed to settle down and find a safe place to have their kits, none of them knowing that among them was the true future leader of Gullyclan.
No new Medicine Cat has been assigned.
(There can be 2 medicine cat apprentices; One that was Duskwatcher's apprentice and the other that the med. cat apprentice is training)
Credit for the coding goes to the incredible, amazing, illustrious and fantastic Moth's Wish. |

Furious yowls rouse you from your slumber. You and a few other previously sleeping warriors exit the confines of your den and are welcomed to a confusing scene; The clan deputy, Stormchaser, was perched upon the Rock-Pile. His dark gray fur stood on end as he glared and snarled down at the clan medicine cat, amber eyes like fire.
"That is enough, Duskwatcher!" His furious yowl resembled that of a Lion's roar, but the Medicine Cat stood his ground.
"The clan deserves to know!" The healer hissed defiantly in response. His words drew murmured questions from the gathered cats of Gullyclan.
"Know what? What's going on?!"
"Did something happen at the Moon Rock?"
"Did someone receive a message from Starclan?"
"Duskwatcher's right! What are you keeping from us Stormstar?"
You watch, growing more perplexed by the second, as your clan-mates continue to shout questions. You couldn't help but notice that every time someone called Stormchaser by what should be his new name - Stormstar - the dark gray tom would flatten his ears against his head.
"That's just it!" Duskwatcher called out, drawing the attention of the clan. The medicine cat waited until the camp clearing had fallen silent before he spoke again, eyes glued to the deputy as if he were daring him to speak.
"He's not Stormstar. Starclan didn't give him his nine lives!"
The reveal caused another round of murmurs to erupt. You let your eyes rake over the crowd, just as shocked as they were, before letting your gaze fall upon Stormchaser. The deputy's pupils' were practically slits as he stared Duskwatcher down.
"THAT IS ENOUGH!" Stormchaser practically roared, tail lashing furiously behind him.
"I AM GULLYCLAN'S RIGHTFUL LEADER! I-"
"I WAS THERE!" Duskwatcher interrupted, taking a defiant step toward the Rock-Pile. For a tense moment, the two arguing cats locked eyes before Duskwatcher turned and addressed the rest of the clan.
"Look, I don't know what happened. I...I don't really know how to explain it." Duskwatcher fell silent for a moment as he turned his head skyward. You watch the tom close his eyes for a brief moment before he turned his attention back toward the crowd.
"Everything seemed normal at first, but as our dearly departed Timberstar approached Stormchaser to give him his first life, a cloud covered the moon. Everything went dark for a moment."
You glanced over at Stormchaser and are surprised to see the deputy with his back to the clan, head bowed in what looked like shame.
"When the cloud passed, Timberstar told both Stormchaser and myself that Stormchaser was not meant to lead this clan."
Silence fell upon the clearing. Distantly, you could hear crickets chirping from beneath the ledge the clan camp resided on.
"...WHAT?!"
You weren't sure who it was that exclaimed, but the one remark triggered a wave of others.
"Then who's gonna lead us?!"
"Has Starclan gone mad?!"
"Who's supposed to be the leader then?"
"Timberstar picked Stormchaser as his deputy! How can he just change his mind?!"
Before the cats of Gullyclan could get too hysterical, Duskwatcher silenced everyone with a wave of his tail.
"Let me reassure you all, Starclan has not abandoned us!"
Movement behind Duskwatcher caught your eye. You watch as Stormchaser hopped down from the Rock-Pile, amber eyes trained on the medicine cat.
"They left us with a prophecy, to point us in the right direction." Duskwatcher continued, unaware of the large dark gray tom melting into the crowd behind him.
"They said that three kits will born that-"
You and your clan-mates can do nothing but watch in utter horror as Stormchaser exploded from the gathered cats. In a flash he has Duskwatcher pinned beneath him, paws planted firmly on the Medicine Cat's throat, claws unsheathed. As Duskwatcher struggled and squirmed in an attempt to escape, a few warriors started toward the two fighting cats with the intent of separating them. But they froze as soon as Stormchaser fixed them with a deadly glare. You had the unfortunate privilege of being close enough to the action to see the madness in the deputy's eyes.
"...I am the rightful leader of Gullyclan." His voice was eerily calm as raked his crazed stare across the gathered cats before settling it on his victim.
"I have starved for this clan! I have bled for this clan! I dedicated every second of my life to get to where I am now!" Stormchaser drove his claws deeper into Duskwatcher's neck. You hear a gasp from the crowd as the poor medicine cat began to choke.
"And anyone who wants to deny me that..."
In one swift movement, one simple swipe of his claws, Stormchaser slit Duskwatcher's throat.
"...will suffer the consequences."
You guys have probably heard and seen this a thousand times...and you're about to hear it once more; Forum rules are my rules. Please be kind and respectful to each other so that we can all have fun.Joining Please use the joining form provided and be sure to include a picture similar to the appearance of your character. If you're unable to get one posted at the current time, try to find one as soon as you can or ask for help. Also, if you'd like to make an apprentice, I ask that you also make a warrior (preferably of the opposite gender) so that we don't have a weird Apprentice : Warrior ratio. Activity I'm not going to ask that you be here 24/7, we all have lives outside of the forums and sometimes things come up. However, if you join as a character important to the plot, I ask that you be on at least two to three days a week; And if something does come up and you are going to be absent for an extended amount of time, please let me know and I'll understand. Literacy This is a literate rp. I'm not asking for perfection or anything, I simply request 3-4 lines at least, and no posts that are all dialogue. More than that is always welcome. Characters Your characters are yours, meaning you have full artistic freedom with them. But I ask that you don't create any characters with crazy things not seen in the books; purple fur, wings, impossible eye colors, etc. I ask the same of names as well. The cats of Gullyclan have experienced a larger variety of things than the clan cats from the books, but please do not name your characters after things the cats obviously wouldn't know or have come into contact with; Like twoleg words or objects for example. Also, no overly perfect (mary/gary-sue) characters, everyone has their flaws and, if your character does not fit this criteria, I reserve the right to request that you change your form(s). Bloodlines If you notice your character(s) share resemblance or traits with the character(s) belonging to another member, ask if they can be related in some way. This rule is not necessarily required, but it is preferred. I also request that you not join as mates or members of your own family; parent and child relation is fine as well as rping one of the kits of your character. Drama Any and all ideas for future plots or side plots are welcome here, I just ask that you run them by me and any other members involved first. If there are any plots ongoing, please don't kill a character involved in said plot (unless their death is part of the plot) and try to include as many members as you can. Plagiarism Moth's Wish created this awesome layout, and assisted with many other aspects of this thread. Therefore, if any of it is stolen or borrowed without her permission I will find you and make you bow down to and beg the layout goddess for forgiveness report you. The same rule applies to the characters as well as the map which I made so I will hunt you down report you for that as well.

Fighting
Burly, long haired, dark gray tom with striking amber eyes. Storm looked up to Timberstar as not only an amazing leader, but also a father figure. He decided he wanted to be the next leader of Gullyclan during his kithood and held on to the goal with an iron grip. During his apprentice days, Storm was known to be quiet and aloof, but helpful. He completed every task given to him with no complaint and put his all into his training. He was made a warrior at a younger than normal age, but never seemed to let it go to his head and continued to be as helpful as he was before the promotion. He was tough on and brutally honest with any apprentice he received but wasn't known to be abusive or mean. When the time came for Timberstar to choose his deputy, no cat could argue that the young tom didn't deserve the position. During his deputy days, he was known to be tough but fair and never seemed to be in a rush to become leader. He went mad after he was denied his leadership by the very cat who promised him it. Although he'd never admit it to anyone, Storm was/is more hurt and ashamed than furious. He feels a great deal of guilt over having killed his own brother, but he hides it well.
He/Him pronouns. Heterosexual. Related to Duskwatcher (brother). Mate to Frostbite, father of her kits.

Calico she-cat with minimal white and striking amber eyes. Born and raised in Gullyclan. She was an apprentice around the same time as Storm and Duskwatcher, the three of them were close friends and were always seen together. She got along well with Duskwatcher, but her and Storm used to always bump heads and bicker; Duskwatcher used to joke that it was because they were so alike. Because of their history, it surprised many when her and Storm became mates, but Poppyblaze truly loved him. She admired his ambition and honestly believed he would make a good leader. When the truth was revealed, that Storm wasn't meant to be leader, she felt for him until he killed Duskwatcher. Most of her feelings for him died that night, the rest dying off when he exiled her, knowing she was pregnant with his kits. She, like the rest of the queens that had been exiled, settled down in the abandoned barn at the edge of Gullyclan territory just before she gave birth. When one of her kits asked about their father, she panicked and told them that he was dead. At some point, when they're older, Poppyblaze intends on telling them the entire ugly truth and, little does anyone know, she plans on training them in the hopes that one day, they will kill their father.
She/Her pronouns. Bisexual. Ex-mate to Storm, Mother of his kits; Morningkit, Blahkit, and Blahkit

Dilute calico she-cat with kitten-blue eyes that will eventually become a stunning amber. Having no knowledge of the events that had taken place before her birth, Morningkit dreams of one day joining Gullyclan and being a warrior. She's very close with all of the kits that live in the abandoned barn and is quite responsible for her age.
She/Her pronouns. Related to Poppyblaze (mother), Storm (father unknowingly), Blahkit (sibling), and Blahkit (sibling).
