aridclan Welcome to Aridclan
We pride ourselves on being resourceful and intelligent
For surviving the harsh climate of the desert  RULES
be active
just try your best. maybe two days a week? if you don't think you can handle being active due to any reason, just let me know if you need a break or want me to remove your ocs.
be semi-literate
no one-liners & use proper grammar. try to avoid first person point of view and aim for at least three sentences per response.
have fun
be nice to everyone and try to involve others, even if it is just making family trees. have fun!
TERRITORY Geographically, Aridclan lives in the Sonoran Desert, located in the in SW USA & NW Mexico. Aridclan is proud to call a tiny part of the desert as their home. They live in a region that is classified as a thornscrub or a wet desert; stuck between desert and tropical forest biome. Parts of their territory is blanketed with abundance of small trees and shrubs, perfect for staying cool. Their territory is rocky with a low, vast valley.
The cats tend to roam around 8 mile radius from their main camp, sometimes they travel past that but not often due to the extreme heat and vast area.
There are a couple of water sources for the cats, there is a small creek that flows in the rocky region of their territory and there can be small pools that branch off from that, depending on the rainfall. Water can always be found at the ranch or town.
- Red Caves; human town "Clifford". good place for scavenging, prey, and water.
- Ranch; cattle and horse ranch. be mindful of dogs and hooves. good place to catch mice and drink.
- Abandoned cabin; good hunting grounds and provides shade from the sun. can be used a battle practice area. Watch for hikers and adders.
- Hawk Rock; an odd shape rock in the hills that looks like a bird in flight.
CAMP
As much as the clan loves the desert, it is lovely to seek shelter in the comfort underground dens of camp. Underground the temperatures seems more regulated... so it can be refuge against the scalding heat or bitter cold depending on the time and season.
The only protection that camp offers... is that it looks like everything in the territory. The scent is the thing that gives away that this area and burrows is something else entirely. Outside of the entrances, there is a two large flat rocks that make good sunbathing spots along gathering area for the entire clan.
There are three ways to get in & out of camp, two are somewhat close to each other and have large openings, being able to fit three full-grown cats across easily. While the third is smaller and tends to only be used for emergencies and if a cat is just leaving to make dirt.
The only dens that are structured are the medicine cat, nursery, and leader's den for privacy. The warriors, apprentices, and elders tend to clump into groups on the soft sandy floor. Some cats like to bring in feathers to line their nests.CLIMATE The part of the Sonoran Desert Aridclan lives in is considered thornscrub. Within their territory, they tend to experience a slight increase of rainfall depending on the season. They rarely experience any freezing weather.
Aridclan is in the wet season. - Wet Season; summer moons. the air quality changes depending on the situations. Sometimes it's cool and wet, after a rainfall. Other times, it's hot and dry.
- Dry Season; winter moons. the air tends to be hot and dry.
disclaimer - i live in ohio and google only takes me so far :'D PLOTS
minor plot / incompetent deputy
Twigstar is relatively new leader and is bound to make mistakes. After the abrupt death of the former deputy and her closet friend, Russetnose in a coyote attack. Twigstar appointed his daughter, Frogblaze as the new deputy. It is highly unpopular decision due to Frogblaze's inexperience as a warrior and attitude.

Twigstar Outside camp, on the sunning rocks
A soft yawn escaped from the molly. Sleep had not came easy to the young leader and she feared it would be awhile until she didn't feel tired anymore. Too much had happened in the past moon for the beautiful sight to bring her any kind of peace. Still her green gaze stayed fixated on the slowly rising sun. It was peaceful to see the light starting to spread across the sky.
Her ear twitched as she heard shifting behind her underground. The rest of the camp was starting to awake. "Here we go," Twigstar muttered to herself, before letting out a low sigh. The dappled molly knew that her assistance would be needed soon, Frogblaze needed guidance for her deputy duties and Twigstar owed that to her. To Russetnose.
Silversparrow
in the nursery
Silversparrow muttered something as awareness slowly started to creep back in. He could hear his clanmates shifting out in the main den of Aridclan's camp and the gentle muttering of cats speaking to each other. However; he was content to keep his eyes shut and pretending to sleep for a few moments longer. He could feel the heat from his mate radiating nearby and her gentle breathing filling the silence of the den. The nursery walls did do a decent job of keeping the den muted to most of the bustle from camp. Silversparrow knew that would change once Pigeonclaw had their kits.
Shypaw camp
With her head rested on her paws, the young tabby watched as the warriors started to stir from her nest. Her tail twitched as the apprehensive was bubbling inside of her chest. She was excited and anxious to start the day, usual feelings for the apprentice. I really hope I get to do a hunting today, she wished as her gaze sought out the familiar pelt on her mentor, hoping that they were going to be waking soon. Shypaw was ready.

Frogblaze »
with coyotestorm & dustflame - open
The sun had yet to fully rise and cast its scorching warmth across the desert and tension was already crackling in the air. Hackles were raised, fangs were bared, and claws were unsheathed as Frogblaze and Coyotestorm stared one another down, both cats looking ready to throw themselves at one another yet both were waiting for the other to strike first.
”Why do I have to be the cat stuck in camp? You haven’t even made patrols yet, I may be needed to go and hunt or mark borders!” Hissed Coyotestorm, the pointed tom’s bristled tail lashing back and forth wildly.
His hiss was returned with a snarl from the deputy Frogblaze. Her ears were pinned back to her cranium, tail lashing just as wildly as Coyotestorm’s. ”Because I said so,” she snapped back, clearly not in the mood to be undermined by the warrior. ”Don’t think I’ve forgotten how you stole that hare I was going to eat last night.”
Coyotestorm’s jaws opened as if he were about to quickly retort back, but paused when Frogblaze’s words clicked in his head. He took a step away, clearly taken aback by the deputy. Frogblaze couldn’t help but smirk at this, satisfaction rolling across her visage. She had gotten the upper paw on the older feline.
Coyotestorm stood there a moment longer in silence. After some time he found his voice, words still harboring surprise yet still dripping with anger. ”You’re keeping me in camp because of that? I didn’t even know you wanted that hare!” He growled as he flexed his claws against the ground.
Frogblaze snorted. ”I told the whole Clan how I wanted that hare! Ma-“
Coyotestorm cut her off. ”Not every cat is always listening to-“
It was Coyotestorm’s time to get cut off as a new, third voice interjected.
With a low growl and a very unpleasant flick of his tail, Dustflame marched forward, eyes narrowed. ”The both of you, shut it. You’re fighting like kits.”
”But -“
”No ‘buts’,” he snapped at Frogblaze. The molly lowered her gaze and stepped back, paws shuffling. Anger still raged inside her toward Coyotestorm, but even she knew better than to argue with her father. Dustflame had always been the sharper tongued out of her parents. She knew the senior warrior loved her, he treated her well and was usually soft toward her where he was harsh with others, but Dustflame has grown even sharper after Russetnose’s death. Losing his mate had been hard, and while he didn’t outright say it, it was clear to any cat just how hard it was for Dustflame. His grief was clear in the way he held himself, his posture more drawn in, his gait stiff and slow, his temper hotter. Frogblaze knew his pain, her heart ached for her deceased father as well, but whereas her living father was living in the past in silence, she was living in the present and looking toward the future as AridClan’s new deputy.
Frogblaze held her tongue, remaining silent as Dustflame spoke up once again. ”Why don’t you let me take out a hunting patrol near Hawk Rock. Coyotestorm, you can come with me,” he told the other tom with a nod.
This seemed to perk Coyotestorm up. He nodded. ”Sure thing, Dustflame!” With that he headed toward the camp’s exit, stopping to wait for Dustflame.
Dustflame mer Frogblaze’s gaze. Disappointment flickered in the warrior’s gaze. ”There’s no need to be starting fights, especially not over prey. Now, assign another warrior to hunt with me and Coyotestorm so we can head out,” he told his daughter with a nod. Before padding away to join his partner he gave Frogblaze a quick lick across the ear. Even when he was angry he was still affectionate toward the deputy.
A sigh escaped Frogblaze. A part of her was still angry at Coyotestorm, bitter that he had taken the hare she had wanted last night, but while she would rile up any other cat, the last thing she wanted was to disappoint Dustflame.
Shaking away her anger, Frogblaze’s fur smoothed back down across her lithe figure. She began scanning the camp in search of another warrior to add to the morning’s now established hunting party.
Cowtail »
It wasn’t until Cowtail had arrived to the apprentices’ den that the confrontation between Frogblaze and Coyotestorm began. The black and white tom did his best to ignore the anger as he had never been one to stick his nose where it could be clawed. The deputy and Coyotestorm had always been at one another’s throats, even more since Frogblaze had been named deputy. Every cat knew that Coyotestorm had been hoping to be named as Twigstar’s second in command, not that Coyotestorm had ever had an apprentice and his attitude just wasn’t what the Clan needed in a deputy. … Not that Frogblaze was any better. But Cowtail wasn’t about to get into that drama right now. He had an apprentice to train.
Being a mentor was more than Cowtail could have ever asked for. As a cat that wasn’t Clanborn he had never thought that the opportunity would be offered to him, yet he had been given the chance and it was something he had loved from the moment Shypaw was announced as his apprentice. She was about halfway through her training now, and Cowtail felt immense pride toward the molly. It was like watching his very own kits grow up, an experience he had had with Pigeonclaw already yet now he was getting to experience that all over again. Shypaw was shaping up to be a promising young warrior.
A smile tugged at his lips as he noticed his apprentice not too far away. ”Shypaw!” He called softly. ”Feel up to training today?” Cowtail always liked to ask Shypaw if she was ready for training or not. The brown tabby deserved a say in what she did for the day, and by allowing her to make a choice the black and white warrior hoped to ease her into having more confidence in herself. It was something Shypaw needed to work on, and Cowtail was willing to do whatever he needed to help her.
Pigeonclaw »
Pigeonclaw would have slept for far longer if not for the commotion in camp that could be heard all the way in the nursery. The molly let out a long groan as she awoke. Sleep had become extremely important to the gray and white molly as of late. Ever since discovering that she was expecting kits she had been tired more often than not, and getting to sleep for as long as she wanted ever since moving into the nursery had been quite the perk for her.
Another groan escaped her as she moved in her nest, scrunching closer to push against her mate. ”What in StarClan’s name are they arguing about out there?” She grumbled groggily yet the annoyance was clear. Just by the voices alone she could tell who the culprits were - Frogblaze and Coyotestorm. Those two had never gotten along, and now that Frogblaze had been named deputy it had only gotten worse. Pigeonclaw huffed. Knowing why Twigstar had picked Frogblaze as her deputy didn’t make it any better; the red ticked tabby was a brat and any other warrior would have been a better choice. Pigeonclaw had told the leader that as well, but Twigstar was still grieving for her deputy and former best friend. Afterall, Russetnose and Twigstar had been closer than even Twigstar was with Pigeonclaw.
The queen lay there with eyes still shut as she waited for Silversparrow to respond to her question. For all the annoyance bubbling inside her it was at least a lot less than it could have been; Silversparrow was a calming presence for Pigeonclaw. She was beyond lucky to have him, especially now since she was sure her short-temper and nasty attitude could easily get herself and her unborn kits in trouble if she didn’t have the tom around.

 Speckledhare
location: red caves
Green eyes watched the sun slowly started to rise in the sky, before switching his gaze back towards the twoleg houses. Speckledhare watched as one twoleg left their house and jumping into a monster, then leaving. It was absolutely bonkers how fearless twolegs were.
Shaking his head, the tabby continued scrolled down the sidewalk, almost without a care in the world, Speckledhare wasn't one to shy away from an adventure and Red Caves was always one. It definitely was better then staying inside camp at the moment, he thought with a snort. Their deputy was an idiot.
Speckledhare wondered into a familiar looking park and went straight for fountain. He leaped onto the stone, scanned the area for any dogs. Twolegs he could handle... mutts? No way. Satisfied that nobody dangerous nearby, the tom leaned down to lap at the cool water.

One of his ear twitched. Listening to the mumbles so he could report back to Pigeonclaw, like a good mate should.
"Something stupid sounds like," Silversparrow muttered under his breath, content to keep snuggled up close to his mate. Maybe they would forget he was a warrior if he stayed hidden away in here. Truthfully, he didn't want to be included in any of Frogblaze's patrols. The young warrior barely had experience, let alone the proper attitude to handle her clanmates. Patrols have been a mess the past moon. Silversparrow wasn't a big fan of the conflict.
The silvery tabby let out a pleased purr when the agitated muttering seemed to come to halt. "Bet you a mouse that Dustflame had to step in again," he whispered to his mate with a huff of laugher.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------  Shypaw
camp
With Cowtail
At the call of her name, Shypaw jerked gaze away from the mess that was Coyetestorm and Frogblaze. Her amber eyes brightening when she spotted Cowtail. She was so invested in watching the warriors bicker that she hadn't been noticed the black and white tom heading her direction.
Shypaw scrambled up to her paws... not a very graceful move either but she didn't fall on her face like she'd had times before.
"Always!" Shypaw enthused with a smile, even though the butterflies in her tummy were saying differently. She bounced on her paws, trying to ignore the worrisome thoughts that always seemed to travel with her. "What are we doing today? Ate we going alone? Can Bluepaw come with us? He told me a really funny joke yesterday, you should hear. Also can we eat first?" she rambled at her mentor.

 Tawnyface
Camp
Mentions: Dustflame, Coyetestorm, & Frogblaze His amber eyes flickered between Coyetestorm and Frogblaze. The young warrior let out a loud snort, not caring if any of the warriors heard him, at Frogblaze's declaration that she claimed that hare. He wasn't sure what was funnier; Frogblaze's reason that she fully believed was a good one or Coyetestorm's expression. Both were golden.
Tawnyface opened his mouth to say something... when Dustflame appeared. He shut his mouth and quickly glanced away like he was not invested in this conversation at all.
Only a moon younger than Frogblaze, he grew up with the molly and had been involved with her antics plenty of times before. He didn't needed to be scolded by Dustflame once again. He was smart enough to avoid that... most of the time.

 D a w n f i r eIW Tawnyface || Mentions Coyotestorm, Dustflame, Frogblaze || Camp || Tag Blaze ♡ »»————- ★ ————-«« Dawnfire was used to the yellings at the crack of dawn now. That didn't mean, however, that she had to like it. She rose with a grunt, stretching both paws. She was certainly sore from sleeping on the wrong side of the nest. The ginger tabby shook one leg and then the other as she shuffled out into the morning.
She squinted in the rising sun, taking in the now-not-arguing pair of Frogblaze and Coyotestorm. At least it wasn't so loud in the morning now. But she probably had to do something to avoid getting in direct line of Frogblaze's spitting face... and it wasn't ideal to get on patrol with someone as huffy as Coyotestorm, even if Dustflame was going too. Mmmf. Dawnfire scanned camp for more options. Finally, her eyes landed on Tawnyface, sitting alone and observing the fiasco. Good enough, she figured. Dawnfire flicked her tail in greeting at the warrior before padding towards him.
"Morning, Tawnyface," she called. "You're up early, d’something wake you?"
 S a g e v a l eIW Coyotestorm and Dustflame || Mentions Frogblaze || Camp || Tag Feathertalon »»————- ★ ————-«« Sagevale had been up early enough to see the beginning, middle, and end of the argument. By the time the warrior had finished their breakfast (a mouse, one of the remaining pieces from last night), Dustflame had made his intervention and the almost-fight had broken up. They laid their tail across their side uncomfortably. They'd known Russetnose. They weren't sure if the warrior would have approved of how his daughter was now. At least Dustflame was trying to shape Frogblaze towards being a more respectable cat, in a way. They were not sure if Frogblaze could, in any way, be half the cat her father had been alive.
Sagevale scraped the remaining pieces of mouse away, nudging it towards dirtplace. That done, they padded up towards Dustflame and Coyotestorm.
"Any room for another warrior?" they asked. "Figured with my fill of the day I should add towards the prey pile."

(Sounds good!)
Bluepaw shook out their fur as they left the apprentice den, trying to get any dirt or dust off. He looked around, curious as to what to do. A sigh fell from his muzzle as he sat by the camp entrance

Dustflame »
It didn’t take long for another warrior to make their way to where both Dustflame and Coyotestorm stood near the exit. The two toms noticed Sagevale at about the same time, Dustflame dipping his head in greeting toward them while Coyotestorm flicked his tail in acknowledgement. ”We were hoping for a third set of paws,” Dustflame told the lilac point. ”Hunting near Hawk Rock this morning.” While he didn’t say it aloud he was glad that Sagevale had decided to join the patrol. While Coyotestorm was tolerable on his own, it was clear to Dustflame that he wasn’t entirely settled after the verbal scuffle with Frogblaze. The younger warrior remained stiff and the edges of his pelt still bristled with tension that had yet to release its hold. Having a rational and calm presence from Sagevale would do the patrol well.
Dustflame turned to leave, motioning for his two companions to follow. ”Not bringing Bluepaw?” Coyotestorm asked. Surprise briefly pulsed through Dustflame as he himself hadn’t even realized that Sagevale’s apprentice was not at their side. Perhaps Coyotestorm was more observant than Dustflame took him credit for.
”I mean, I don’t blame you for not bringing him. Those coyotes that got Russetnose are still bound to be out there, and it’s a warrior’s job to take ‘em out,” growled Coyotestorm with a flex of his claws as he followed just behind Dustflame.
The older tom remained silent. If he spoke up he was sure both warriors would hear the grief that thinking about those coyotes conjured in him. It would be a long time yet before he got over his mate’s death. If he ever got over it at all.
Cowtail »
A purr vibrated down Cowtail’s throat and into his chest. Again he was filled with the joy of being a mentor, pride warming his heart as he looked at the all too enthusiastic Shypaw. Getting to train a young cat into a warrior the Clan could be proud of was something the black and white tom would never forget. It was almost the same joy he had felt when he learned he was going to become a father, and that joy has only continued to grow the moment his daughters had been born. Watching them grow and make a life for themselves brought Cowtail nothing but pride, and with love in his eyes he glanced toward the nursery where he knew Pigeonclaw would be. It felt like just yesterday when she and her littermate had been born, and now Pigeonclaw was going to be a mother in the coming moon. Excitement mingled with adoration sparked through him - he couldn’t wait to meet his first set of grandkits.
Cowtail shook his head. He directed his attention back toward Shypaw as she attacked him with a barrage of questions; a mrrrow of laughter had his whiskers twitching. Luckily he was able to keep up with her fast paced inquiries. ”I was thinking we could do some battle training today, we haven’t worked on that in a few sunrises.” Here lately he had been testing the brown tabby on her hunting abilities so now felt like a good time to take a break from that and focus on another skill. ”Go get something to eat real quick, and while you’re at it you can ask Bluepaw if he wants to join us today,” Cowtail mewed with a thoughtful nod. From the looks of it Sagevale, Bluepaw’s mentor, was joining the hunting patrol with Dustflame and Coyotestorm yet there was no sight of their apprentice. Perhaps Sagevale planned on training Bluepaw later on. ”Maybe he’ll tell the joke again if he decides to tag along.” With a flick of his tail the warrior gestured for Shypaw to hurry off and eat her a quick breakfast. Cowtail decided to stay where he was and wait. He was hungry, but not so hungry that he couldn’t wait until after training.
Pigeonclaw »
Something stupid for sure. There had been ‘something stupid’ going on for the last moon ever since Twigstar had announced Frogblaze as her deputy. It was annoying, even more so now that Pigeonclaw was expecting - ever since she had found out about her upcoming litter her emotions had become stronger, and it wasn’t like her emotions had been muted before that. Pigeonclaw had always been a feisty feline. How Silversparrow managed to put up with it was beyond her, but she was eternally grateful for the fact. Having mooned over the tom since she could remember she was ecstatic to be at the point she was now.
After a few more moments Pigeonclaw finally opened her eyes in a slow manner. She stretched out her long body, muscles sighing in relief after having been curled in slumber for so long. Once relaxed she nuzzled her head into Silversparrow’s shoulder, reluctant to leave his warmth. ”Oh, I’m sure he did. I’ve never felt bad for him but now I’m starting to. He lost Russetnose a moon ago,” Pigeonclaw shuddered at the thought of losing her own mate, ”and now his daughter is deputy, but she doesn’t know how to be a deputy, let alone a decent warrior. Twigstar should have just named Dustflame as deputy, he has to act like one to make up for Frogblaze anyway.” This was something she had yet to bring up to Twigstar despite wanting to. With her former mentor’s rise in leadership not too long ago, Pigeonclaw busy with warrior duties and now reading herself to become a mother, and now the recent coyote attack, Pigeonclaw had seen less of her friend more than usual. She hoped that could soon change. It would be nice to speak with Twigstar about what had been on her mind for the last few sunrises. She would take what she could get though, and for now, talking to her mate about it was enough to get rid of the itch.
