With complete creative freedom, what would you want Arc 9 to look like? What plots or events would you like to see? When would you want it to take place? Any particular themes, ideas, settings, or character arcs?

Please no more solid gray protagonists.
Please no more Shadowclan drama, especially with its leaders.
No more anxious medicine cats.
I would really like a Windclan protagonist for arc 9. I would also really like a female antagonist, and/or a medicine cat antagonist. And ultimately I would absolutely have it take place sometime in the future where we're seeing all knew, fresh characters.

-LGBTQ+ characters -No protagonist romance, and if there is some then leave it till later in the arc and develop it slowly, like FireSand -No medicine cat protagonist -Only one or two protagonists, three is too many imo -Make StarClan mysterious and all powerful like they were in the first arc -Make the background characters have more personality, and keep the clans small (20-25 cats)
As for the actual arc itself, one that takes place sometime around Finchstar's era would be nice, or else extremely far into the future. If the arc takes place in the future, make it 15-20 years in the future. None of the current cats are still alive. Everything that happened in the previous arcs has been forgotten or only exists as elders tales. After years of peace, the clans have forgotten everything they stand for, becoming lazy and ignoring the warrior code. Furious, StarClan has turned against them and is silent, leaving the clans to their own demise. Protagonistpaw, unlike the rest of their clan, believes that the stories of the old clans are ture, and vows to bring back the days of the old warriors before the clans fade away forever

-A WindClan POV
-An evil medicine cat
-Female antagonists/villains
-StarClan remaining mysterious and not interfering with the Clans' affairs
-No journeys
-Less or no cross-Clan relationships
-A morally gray protagonist (or even a MC that becomes evil as the story progresses)
-No ThunderClan or ShadowClan POV because I'm tired of them

This too. Also someone mentioned in another topic characters with disabilities that aren't instantly thrown into the elders/medicine den so that also.

A Dawn of the Clans sequel. Perhaps the title and thus overall theme could be Dawn of the Code or something.
Protagonist Ideas (one in more detail for now):
Lightning Stripe Physical Appearance: a ginger tabby she-cat with a white zigzag stripe like lightning on her belly, amber eyes Personality: Spirited and Courageous Unofficial Mentor: Thunderstar Family: Thunderstar (Father), Violet Dawn (Mother), Sleek Fur (Brother), Shell Claw and Feather Ear (other two littermates)
Quote from Thunderstar's Echo which immediately made me wish she will become a protagonist one day:
"But the fourth, the tabby she-kit, stared up at him with amber eyes that blazed like fire. She was only a quarter-moon old, but he could already see intelligence and courage in her eyes. She was going to be something special; he knew it." โThunderstar on Lightning Stripe in Thunderstar's Echo, chapter 10
If I got to choose two more protagonists for this arc, I'd pick either Flower Foot or Dew Petal from SkyClan (so either one of the Skystar x Star Flower daughters) and Drizzle from RiverClan so we'd finally get a PoV in that Clan during this time. The main reason why I'd like there to only be she-cat PoVs in a DotC sequel is because there were only tom-cat PoVs in the DotC arc (Gray Wing, Thunder and Clear Sky).
In terms of some of the plot for the DotC sequel arc, I would love it to be about conflicts among the five Clans, including inner Clan drama such as some forbidden Medicine cat romances as well (Red Claw x Acorn Fur still happening in secret, for example) with no outside villains to distract from that. In my mind, this arc must certainly include the death of Thunderstar as well, Lightning Stripe's father, for the obvious angst potential and effect it then has on various characters. Especially if Skystar is still alive by that point. I'm sure the death of his son could be cause for a conflict in one way or the other.
There could also be the creation of the Dark Forest as a storyline (with a villain from inside of the Clans being the creator of it, I know a lot of people thought Mapleshade created it but that's very doubtful in my opinion, One Eye is another option but was not really a Clan cat or that much connected to them aside from his one book involvment tormenting of early SkyClan).
Also, Owlstar as Thunderstar's successor or Lightningstar at the end of the arc. It's been so long since we had a protagonist become leader at the end of their main series arc (shoutout to Firestar), just much later on (Bramblestar) or during an SE (Tigerstar II) in more recent times.

So many cool ideas here! -I really love the idea of a far-future arc, with plot points anywhere from new status quos, all the way to the Clans forgetting their origins. -It sounds like thereโs a ton of potential for a sequel arc to DoTC! Iโd really love one, since it would give me the motivation to go back and finish that arc. Iโve wanted to for years, but catching up with the modern Clans always feels more pressing since thatโs what the new books follow. -Itโs cool how thereโs a fair mixture of wanting to shake up established patterns or cliches in the series, and wanting to go back to the seriesโ roots for ideas that got left behind.
My thoughts: -Iโd love to see the mediator role clarified, codified, and given more relevance. -It might be the right time to phase out medicine catsโ not having families. Itโs more logistically possible now than ever, and it seems like a natural progression from other revisions to the Warrior Code. -Regardless of era, a tortie or calico main arc protagonist would be awesome. -It would be cool to see more animals that we know the cats encounter but havenโt really been shownโ otters, deer, kestrels, ducks, wolves. For some reason deer stick out to me the most, Iโd love to see what the cats think about deer.

Realistic Hopes:
WindClan and RiverClan watch as a terrible illness threatens to wipe out the Clans and it's up to a warrior & her mate along with a young apprentice to save the Clans.
Fanasty Hopes 1:
A young warrior travels far beyond the Clans' territories when danger arises and encounters different Clans, they seem the same...but different? What dangers lie within these groups and what will become of protag?!
Fanasty Hopes 2:
The Clans watch as an illness wipes out almost all the Clans, leaving the survivors to leave the lake territories and live somewhere else, but when they encounter a recently exiled Sister/Guardian cat who says they know the way to survival, what will happen?
Realistic Don't-let-it-happen-again:
A rogue appears, convincing ShadowClan to drive out SkyClan while taking over WindClan and RiverClan. A young ThunderClan apprentice, must summon her inner courage and find her footing in Firestar's legacy to save the Clans while balencing her forbidden relationship with a rogue/other clan cat/kittypet?!

A generational story.
- Main protagonist is an earnest young buck trying to do his best for his clan - Trouble comes rolling around for the clan, inexplicable and mysterious goings-on disrupting life and ruffling pelts - An archrival manages to get other Clans backing him, much like the first Tigerstar - Hero, like Firestar, must stop him from taking over all four Clans - They go to do battle - The hero is defeated by a cheap trick and dies - The villain wins, asserts dominance over all five Clans, and makes it one Clan while working to root out whoever opposes him - The survivors that don't kneel to him flee - The hero's kit is taken to safety along with the refugees, and is taken to Twolegplace
- Villainstar runs the clans for six moons - Discontent grows - Herokit eventually gets the call to adventure - Cats that hope for the clans to be free from Villainstar start secretly rallying behind them as an icon of hope, since they're the kit of the original Protagoniststar, who has become something of a legendary figure despite his demise - Herokit feels like a sham but goes with it - Something something I ran out of steam but they eventually rise up and meet the expectations set of them
I love FE4 and I wanted a "the villain wins" scenario okay

To replace bland gray protagonists, we need a tortoiseshell or a white one, since we never got these pelt colors in the series

Simply put: Let it have the vibe of the earlier books. Cats just trying to survive in the wild while taking care of their families but facing tragedy and grief along the way. The only perspectives would be WindClan-RiverClan.

Ahh sounds nice, but what's that? Oh no, a Tigerstar and Firestar clone that the publishers were able to spawn out of thin air.
(lol, that's probably what would happen, but wouldn't it be nice to see a WindClan POV just revive tunneling again)
