Story so Far:
A group of loners, rogues and kittypets fled their homes due to a fire that raged through twolegplace. Having nowhere else to go, the group decide to set out to find a new home. Along the way, they dodged monsters, fled dogs and hid during storms but they managed to cover a lot of ground. Two Moons later, a strange sickness strikes the group which causes them to slow down. They managed to reach a tall mountain where a colony of cats take them in. Both groups thrived developing platonic and romantic relationships. However, this wouldn't last for long. One morning one of the former sick cats was found dead. This caused tension and paranoia among everyone resulting in arguments and physical fights. Eventually, three factions were formed and they end up going their own way. All three groups end up arriving in a large forest and set about claiming a section for themselves. A cat known as Timber leads his group to the west where they discover the land that would soon be known as Birchclan. About the ClanBirchclan is a clan known for being skilled climbers and crafty ambushers. They seem to just disappear into the undergrowth before suddenly popping out beside you seemingly out of nowhere. These cats value, hard-work, family and intelligence. Birchclan have strong legs for climbing and dark fur colors for blending into the forest. Despite that, Birchclan will accept anyone who prove themselves worthy. Solid white cats are considered special because they look like the birch trees. The clan is still young and there is a lot that is yet to be discovered. Territory: Birchclan territory is made up of mostly birch trees, tall grasses and wild flowers. The land is pretty flat with lots of vegetation scattered throughout. There are a series of underground tunnels that goes all through the territory. Most popular prey to hunt are birds, squirrels and small creatures such as mice, voles and shrews. Landmarks: Pond: The pond is located about ten minutes away from camp. This is the clan's main source of water and occasionally used for fishing. The pond is medium size with a tendency to flood during heavy rain. Training Area: The training area is a open grassy area. This area is used to train apprentices to hunt, fight and sneak. Old Willow Tree: The old willow tree is located in the center of Birchclan territory. The tree is tall and the bark is scarred from where lighting struck it. This was one of the first things the group discovered. Birchlcan uses this tree to practice climbing and leave their mark for future generations. Tunnel Entrance: The entrance to one of the underground tunnels is located near an overturned log. This hole used to be a badger sett but upon further inspection the tunnel goes a lot farther.
Camp: Camp is a large area surrounded by trees, bushes and brambles. The entrance is a tunnel made up of ferns, leaves and vines. Leader's Den: The leader's den is the base of of a hollowed out tree. The leader makes announcements on one of the lower branches. The leader's den is located in the back of camp. Medicine Cat Den: The medicine cat den is located underneath a half fallen tree that is learning against a rock. Ferns lean down like a curtain over the entrance. Near the back is where the medicine cat keeps their herbs. Warrior Den: The warriors den is a series of bushes that are clustered together. Apprentice Den: The apprentice is a smaller version of the warriors den. Nursery: The nursery is located in a small cave located not far from the medicine cat's den. Inside the cave is spacious so the queens and kits have plenty of space to spread out and play. Elders Den: The elder's den is a former fox den. The inside has been dug out some more so the elders have space to properly sleep. Traditions and Customs (Coming soon) Rules:
No Godmodding, Spotlighting or Powerplaying Keep fur and eye colors realistic. I will allow a few rare colors due to the fact there are mutants irl. However, I do not want rainbow colored fur or magical wings and sparkles. No perfect characters. Give your characters, flaws, blemishes and make them occasionally mess up. Not every warrior lands every prey or blow on an opponent. Be respectful of others and keep arguments out of the thread. Follow the Forum Rules The clan is still pretty young so I am open to any suggestions you might have, Try and be as active as possible. I understand life gets in the way. Post when you can and let me know if you will be flaky or not.

Cats of Birchclan Leader:Timber: (Birchstar) He is a classic brown, tabby tom with amber colored eyes. He has lighter brown on his stomach and legs. Timber has a small scar on his left cheek. He is 48 moons. Timber is a stubborn and grounded cat. He is more than willing to do whatever it takes to keep his clan safe. He has a few trust issues always expecting the worse from others. He is not above playing dirty in order to get the advantage. He is still trying to figure out the warrior code and clan life. Timber was born and raised a rogue. He lived a hard life believing that it was every cat for themselves. After fleeing from the fire, he overheard some cats talking about finding a new home. At first, he was content to just set out on his own, but a friend convinced him to tag along. While with the group, he ended up showing some of the kittypets how to hunt and fight. Slowly, he began to open up a little becoming the de facto leader of the group. When they encountered the mountain colony, he was hesitant, yet his group needed medicine. Timber kept his guard around the colony, though he started to make a few friends and even getting a crush on one of the cats. All of that changed someone from his group was killed. Timber demanded answers challenging the colony leader to do something about this. After getting nowhere, he gathers up his group and anyone who wanted to come with him and set out once again. Wasn't long before they reached the forest and found their permanent home. ( Hawkeyes258 ) Deputy:
(TBD) Medicine Cat
MC Apprentice:
Warriors:
Petel (Flowernose) A large, fluffy white molly with red tabby patches and green eyes. She is 64 Moons. A stern, though paitent, cat. She tries to keep others safe despite not being a very good fighter. Born as a kittypet, she originally ran from home when she was found to be expecting kits, joining the others during the fire in escaping the area. She had her kits during the journey and is scared of how they will adapt to this life. Mother of Tiny and Leaf ( moonclaw400 ) Spring (Springshadow) Springshadow is a fluffy gray and white she-cat with deep blue eyes She is 45 moons. Springshadow is a very impassive she-cat and is good at hiding what she truly feels, she often seems distant and some cats aren't sure if she even wants to be in the clan. But even though she doesn't even admit it to herself, Springshadow has started to care for her new clanmates, and is a contributing clan member. Springshadow was once a pampered kitty pet, she was very spoiled and that made her stuck up, she only cared about herself and loved her kittypet life. But when at 27 moons, she was abandoned by her housefolk and left to strike it out on her own. At first she had a lot of trouble adjusting to life as a rouge and would always get offended whenever she was called one. She almost ended up starving since she couldn't hunt and didn't want to stoop so low as to take food from trash cans. But eventually she got desperate and began to do just that. She lived around the twoleg place for a while, but then the fire happened and Spring was forced to flee along with the other rouges, loners, and kittypets that lived there. At first Spring did not want to live with the group of cats, but she soon found that it would be far better than living on her own and she decided to stay, earning her warrior name, Springshadow. ( 🐦silvermoon2🐦💖) Rust: (Redstripes) Redstripes has medium length, orange fur with darker tabby stripes. He has pale green eyes and a slightly large build. Redstripes is 36 moons. He is an outgoing and dramatic cat. He will exaggerate things mainly his stories. He loves being around others and will chat with others for hours. He doesn't like being alone for long and enjoys being in the center of attention. He is a little dense and doesn't realize when cats are flirting with him. He is the type to make impulsive decisions and likes to live in the moment. Redstripes was born and raised in the mountain colony. He never really fit in with the other cats but did his best to make others like him. When the group of cats arrived, he was beyond curious and started befriending them. ( Hawkeyes258 ) Smoke (Scorchspring) Gray and orange tabby tom, with shades of lighter gray and orange faintly dappling his pelt. He has a sturdy build with large paws and a short, but thick-furred tail. His eyes are also a deep green with a distinct scar narrowly missing his left eye and tapering from his forehead to his cheek. He is 36 Moons. An often grouchy tom-cat, Scorchspring isn't known for being the most understanding cat in the Clan. He has a tendency to take things very seriously and can be dismissive of his clanmates if they act in a way he doesn't approve of. While he can be loud and outspoken about things he doesn't agree with, and can come across as rather threatening, he's a fiercely loyal cat and very dependable. Even with his grumbling and complaining, he couldn't imagine being anywhere else and would defend BirchClan till the end. Like his brother, he was born and raised in the Mountains and was suspicious of the group of cats that arrived and didn't agree with his brother's befriending of them. However, once fights broke out between cats in the Mountains, he was horrified when his former friends turned on each other and had to defend himself against those he would have once fought to the death for. When the colony, his home, fell apart - he decided to leave with his brother, a cat who he trusted entirely, to seek out a new home for themselves and their new group. Brother/Littermate to Redstripes ( Thistlefur) Toad (Toadstripe) Dark brown tabby tom with white muzzle and paws. His eyes are green. He is 35 moons Confident, assertive, stubborn. Though charming and strong, Toad can come off a little aggressive and headstrong at times. It is hard for him to remember and follow the rules, for he makes up his own that he thinks will fit best for the Clan. Loyal as he may be, he has his doubts wondering if he made the right decision following the journey of the group. A former loner, Toad never thought he would join a strange group of cats such as Birchclan. After much persuasion he agreed to join, feeling he'd be a great asset to them. Being brains and brawn that is. ( 𝑏𝑙𝑒𝑢 ) Shiver (Hollowfrost) Big and thin black tom with white going down from his chin down to his belly and white paws. His fur is somewhat long and feathery in appearance. He has pale blue eyes. His fur is thick and soft, making him look bigger than he is. He is 21 moons. Hollowfrost is quiet and dedicated. An extremely hard worker, Hollowfrost has a habit of pushing himself past his limits in an effort to take care of his clan. His quiet nature may lead him to being walked over. He is a good listener, usually able to follow orders without fuss or just lending an ear. He is very kind in nature, putting the needs of others before his own. He is above all, very loyal to his clan. Born in the Mountain Colony, he joined Timber and the rest of his settlers. ( Junospower ) Crystal: (Mintsong): Gray and white tabby she-cat with light blue eyes. She has a slender build and soft fur. She is 20 moons. Mintsong is a cheerful cat who likes to go with the flow. She is curious about the world around her and likes to learn to new things. She is naïve to the world and still have a lot to learn. Mintshade was born and raised as a kittypet. She would sit on the counter wondering about the world outside of her home. After the fire, her twolegs couldn't take her with them so they left her behind. She was unsure of what to do until her friend told her about a group of cats who were going to look for a new home. Mintsong decided to go mainly cause she didn't know what else to do. (Hawkeyes258 ) Apprentices Sky (Cloudpaw/fur) Long-furred white and brown pointed she-cat with light blue eyes. She is 10 moons. Kind, attentive, anxious. Sky is a nurturing, friendly cat to be around. Born and raised a housecat all her life, until the fire. She sometimes gets very anxious and overthinks things, and requires reassurance in her moments of uncertainty. But she works hard to become the strong warrior her Clan needs. Starting her life as a housecat, Sky has learned a lot being around her clanmates. Living in the wild was nothing like her previous life of being pampered and loved. But after all the training and lessons, she has grown a liking to her Clan. Learning to love them as she loved her two-legs. Maybe even more. ( 𝑏𝑙𝑒𝑢 ) Tiny (Smallpaw) A fluffy red molly with white paws and underbelly and blue eyes. She is 6 Moons. A rather jumpy, nervous cat, Smallpaw is not the best at confrontation and has difficulties speaking up for herself. Born on the journey to the clan. Mother is Petel, littermate is Leaf (Open to father and Littermates) ( moonclaw400 ) Leaf (Leafpaw) A large white tom with one orange paw and tail tip and green eyes. He is 6 Moons. Leafpaw is a rather quiet cat, though tries to stand up to other's if he thinks they are in the wrong. Was born on the journey to the clan. Mother is Petel, littermate is Tiny. ( moonclaw400 ) Queens and Kits Dawn (Dawnpuddle) Long-furred cream she-cat with tufted ears, with a shade of darker cream masking her eyes and paws. She has soft, but thick fur that tends to get tangled easily and pale blue eyes. She is 25 Moons. Dawnpuddle is quite a maternal and doting character in the Clan and while she can be strict at times, it's usually out of a place of love and compassion. She can however be a bit overly dramatic at times and can be slightly irritating to her clanmates with her theatrical reactions to events on ongoings in the Clan. Perhaps also from her kittypet roots, she can be lazy and unwilling to get herself dirty but if her clan or clanmates need her to do something, she'll do anything for them. She was a former kittypet who joined the group after their journey from the Mountains, having got herself lost in the forest after her twolegs passed away and some other twolegs abandoned her there. She struggles sometimes with following clan rules and doing what the clan needs of her as well as understanding the young history of the Clan and what happened to her clanmates in the Mountains.

Ivy is 60 moons. Ivy is a careful and wary cat. In her eyes, the world is a cruel place and everyone is out to get you. She pushes others away, afraid that they will hurt her. She will help others only if it benefits herself. She has a mix between realist and pessimistic world view. Ivy is usually on edge and always ready to jump into a fight. Ivy was born and raised as a rogue. She would wander around doing her best to survive. For a time, she was friendly with the colony but something happened that made her run away from them.

(anyone free to join :3 morning)
Toad stretched out lazily from where he lay in the camp clearing. The morning sunlight beaming down on his tabby coat. His jaws opened up into a yawn. Maybe I'll go out for a hunt, or patrol soon. He thought, he'd have to go and see Timber first to see what the morning agenda would be. It would be wise if they could work out a system where they sorted these things out the night before. Maybe I'll talk to Timber about that as well. Toad had yet to get used to following orders. The clan was still pretty new, and they had many things to decide upon together. Toad wasn't complaining too much for that reason only. But if there was something he disagreed with he was sure not to hesitate to bring it up to their leader.
Sky lay curled tight in her makeshift bed in the apprentice den. Looking out the entrance watching the shadows dance across the clearing as the sun rose higher. She'd had dreams of her past life. Oh how she missed some things. Her real bed, or maybe the fish her two-legs kept on display. Two-legs were weird in that way. But they entertained her nonetheless. She chuckled thinking back on her memories. She was a kit but they still clung in her mind. Her poor two-legs. Sometimes she wondered what had happened to them in the fire. Now she would never know for she'd taken on a new life. A more challenging life. She added. She'd probably have to go out for training soon. Hmph. She thought rolling over and closing her eyes. Just a few more minutes.

The bushes that marked the Warriors Den shook slightly as Shiver made his way out, giving his long black pelt a good shake. It still felt surreal that he was here and that they all made it. A part of him will always miss the mountains and the kin he left behind, but he was here now and he swore to protect and defend his new home. The black tom moved away from the den’s entrance and made his way to the center of camp, giving Toad a nod of greeting as he approached.

"Ah, good morning Shiver." He meowed with a friendly flick of his tail. Licking his paw and delicately wiping it over his face. "I was just thinking about getting a group set up for a patrol." He continued, green eyes looking over the black tomcat. If he'd agree then they'd head out, he was sure Timber wouldn't mind too much. It was to benefit the Clan's safety after all. "Make sure everything looks right in our new territory, and no trespassers. Maybe hunt a little while we're out."

“Would you like me to come along then?” Shiver asked the older tabby tom. It would be good to get out of camp and be useful, there were mouths to feed and cats to defend. It didn’t sit right with him to hang about camp waiting to be told by Timber to get to work.

"Of course." He nodded with approval. He admired the tom's readiness to join him. The clan needed cats ready to take initiative when need be, Toad felt. He rose to his paws and shook out his pelt before beginning towards the exit. His head and tail head high, sure that Shiver was following behind him. Today was a fine day. The sun was beaming down and a nice breeze accompanied it, so it wasn't too hot or cold. "Keep your nose out for anything unusual, or maybe prey." He mewed over to Shiver, keeping his eyes alert, darting from side to side.
(do you think should happen or should they just bond as menly men lol)

(They can certainly look out for prey, we should leave anything really exciting for when Hawk’s online. Totally down for manly men bonding lol I can see Shiver eventually looking to Toad as a mentor/big brother figure. Poor quiet lad needs friends)
Shiver nodded back and scampered behind the older tom. With how pleasant the weather was, they were sure to find prey out and about. With new territory came new and strange prey, prey that was unfamiliar to him since he came from the mountains where the land was thinner. Shiver himself was used to catching the hawks and eagles that flew over and threatened his old territory. As the pair made their way out of camp, the black tom kept his ears perked and his nose ready.

(agreed then, Toad's for sure gonna force him to open up  ) The two trekked forward deeper and deeper until the birch forest. The white branches reaching high up into the sky. Birds chirped from their highest perches. A bird sounded nice, but he could wait. His goal for the moment was making sure the others were fed. "So, Shiver, I know you joined us after leaving the mountains." He began, deciding some conversation would make this journey a little more enjoyable. "How're you adjusting to the forest?" He knew the mountains were drastically different than their current territory. And he personally didn't miss them at all. The constant cool winds, the slippery slopes, the constant fear of one wrong footstep equaling sudden death as you plummet to the ground... It was unnatural, cats were skilled climbers. But they belonged in the trees, or at least Toad did. |

“It’s certainly different,” Shiver admitted, “But I much perfect the cover of the trees than the openness of the mountains. There weren’t many places to hide in cover when the eagles spot you.”
Shiver scented the air, detecting prey he had no name for. He spotted it in the distance. It looked like a rat- if he had to put at name to it- nibbling on a seed, sitting on it’s hind legs. It didn’t quite look like a rat. It was brown, with small ears and a long bushy tail. He watched it for a bit as it finished it’s seed, scampered around a tree, climbed it before changing it’s mind and hopped around on the ground for more seeds. Shiver gave Toad a confused look at the odd tree-rat and instinctively dropped into a crouch. As weird as the tree-rat was, prey is prey. He managed to sneak behind the creature and just barely caught the thing, having accidentally stepped on a twig and alerted it. The tree-rat was quick, but Shiver was quicker. The black tom scooped up his kill and turned back to Toad.

(lmao @ me casually making both of their names timber  please excuse that, my mind is all over the place) Toad watched, impressed at the younger tom's form. Letting out a purr of approval at how swiftly and quickly he made his catch. "Nice catch." He complimented, "That is a nice squirrel to add to our kill-pile. I envy whoever gets to feast on that." For Shiver to still be learning the forest layout, he was quite skilled. It made Toad feel proud to know he had such hard-workers among him. "Hmm yes I can understand I suppose," He continued, his nose to the air as he scented for his own prey. "Someone like me, I've been born and raised under the trees. My mother taught me stealth, and it was quite hard to be stealthy in the mountains." He paused, there was a slight scuffling cat-lengths away from him. Instinctively, he crept forward, skillfully making sure not to step on any twigs or leaves. There. A small brown mouse scuffled around clueless at the root of a birch. It was small, and scrawny, not nearly as impressive as Shiver's squirrel. But it would feed a hungry mouth. Once he was close enough, he pounced. But to his demise it retreated into a burrow under the tree's roots. Toad cursed under his breath. "Hmph, we can't catch them all I suppose." He meowed with a sigh, walking back over to Shiver. |

(Lol all good)
“Happens to everyone. Remember when I tried to catch a fish at the pond a quarter moon ago? I looked like a drowned rat the rest of the day,” he purred with laughter as he dropped his “squirrel” beside Toad’s mouse.

"Fishing is a very slippery skill." He purred in amusement, "It took me some time to perfect myself." The tom thought back to their time in the mountains for a moment. "Did you leave any family behind?" He queried, a curious look in his green eyes. But the curiousness soon faded to mischief, and he grinned slyly, "Any she-cats you had to say farewell to."

Shiver looked away at that last comment, "I... I had an eye on a she-cat back in the mountains, but she was after another tom. I had to respect that, you know?" Shiver stated, shifting his paws awkwardly. "I did leave behind the family I'd lost from a very harsh winter. I... I hope they're not angry at me for leaving them and mountains behind... Where ever they are..."

Toad had no shame, but he knew rejection and hurt all too well. It was something all cats had to learn at some point. "I'm sure your family would be proud if they knew the decision you've made to serve BirchClan. I for sure think you are a brave and noble young tom!" He reached out and touched his tail to the dark tom's flank, "You win some, you lose some kid. Every molly won't be head over hills for you. And sometimes life calls for the hard choices and the hard truths." He gave a deep sigh before trotting a few steps ahead, shaking his fur. As if shaking the seriousness away. "Besides, I'm sure there is a pretty she-cat in the Clan with her eyes set on you." He added with a light-hearted chuckle.

(Toad’s a hype man, love it!)
Shiver’s eyes grew wide, not at all used to someone having confidence in him. He was certainly used to being overlooked and blending into the background. “You… You really think so?”

(he wants everyone to have his confidence :'3 especially someone he respects)
"Of course, I know it." He mewed in reply. He hadn't specifically gotten to know Shiver before, they had spoken occasionally until now. But he'd decided he liked this cat. He was honest, hard-working, not as ambitious as Toad himself but he had things that motivated him to keep going. And Toad had to respect him for that. "Let's try to get a few more catches." It was almost sunhigh, cats would be starting to stir soon. And he was beginning to feel hungry himself.
