(^^^ A bit of worldbuilding I did for the Sturdy Claws. Also, if you may have noticed, I renamed the Echoes to the Revenants.)

I've just randomly thought of a concept surrounding a group of cats who worship the Shapers (and other alternative names they are called), offering them fresh-kill as gifts. Perhaps a Shaper had once saved one of them, or a group, and ever since then these passive rogues have considered them worthy of being revered. Idk, maybe I just need to go to bed or something. lol

I’m loving the world building. It looks amazing.
Ooh. Then house cats would be like, chosen ones or something, haha. The collar clearly identifying their close affiliation with the Shifters.

Progress has been halted for now, I'm afraid. Dealing with a lot of financial stress right now, including the need to pay for a new (and expensive) computer monitor.

Thanks! :') Thankfully my monitor survived; turns out I needed to flick a kill switch before unplugging it, and not doing so screwed everything up. It's fixed now.
I could begin working on the Planning Page soon, but I cannot say how long it will take. It'll largely depend on my muse. With all the various categories to cover, it might take a week, it might take close to a month. Would you both like to wait for the final product before we begin, or do you both think we have everything we need to know produced already (even if in a haphazard format for now) and I should focus on the roleplay page first (which will take a fraction of the time) so we can begin?

Very nice. ^^ It looks really good so far!
I’d be fine either way, really. I haven’t been able to fill out the character charts as much as I’d like to, but I think a part of that is because it is easier for me to develop characters in the process of rping. ^^

These are the rough prototypes I have. ^^' They are mostly half-baked. Karma might be more of a absract idea of anything~ I'm not sure if I'll do much with her. I am curious to see how the others' adventures play out though. :3 Karma:Name - Zabyty (Karma) Body Type - She-cat
Age - Looks to be 8 moons.
Allegiance - Spirit
Territory - Forest, though will sometimes wander to the coast. She’s less likely to go to the twolegplace, but she will. Beliefs - She believes that this life as a spirit is her chance to explore and move about without constant pain. So when she isn’t bothering someone, she will often wander about and simply enjoy being able to move about and enjoy the scenery. Due to her bad experiences with other cats, she believes it is her place to crudely test living cats in an attempt to bring out their worst.
Gender Identity - Female
Pronouns - She/her
Preferences - She has no romantic interest (as a permanently young character), but given the right conditions could bond with another~ which might be part of the condition for her to be able to pass on. Had she grown to the proper age, she would have been interested in toms. Kin - A mother she only ever knew as “Mother”. Mate // Kits - None PHYSICAL APPEARANCE
Summary - Small she-cat with pale yellow eyes and brown and white mottled fur. Full Description - Small thin she-cat, looks almost younger than 8 moons. She has a frail and almost gaunt looking appearance. She isn’t in as poor a state as she was when she died, but it reflects a little in her appearance. She has a brown mottled pelt with white paws and ears. Her eyes are pale yellow.
PERSONALITY & MENTAL TRAITS
Summary - A near insane childish soul who plants seeds of doubt and chaos. She craves attention and because she knows no other way, she causes trouble in order to get it. She has deep rooted trust issues, and will avoid spending much face to face time with other spirit cats. Full Description - She is a lonely soul that gets attention by causing trouble. Despite a desperate need for attention, she also fears actually spending time with another cat. In all her time of existence, she has never had a good relationship with another cat. Thus she has very little trust in those around her. Seeing other cats be very close with one another makes her extremely jealous and somewhat bitter. She likes to wander, explore, cause trouble to get attention. Whenever a spirit cat approaches, usually she will simply smirk and dash away. She will not usually confront or fight with the other spirit cats. If anything, she might say something before fleeing the scene. As a spirit who has been wandering for a number of years, she knows a lot of places to go and hide. She finds some satisfaction in causing other cats to feel even a little bit like she once had, perhaps trying to get them to understand how she had felt. Or perhaps testing them, to see how far they’d go. Her thought process is still somewhat childish, a grudge and a longing for the life she never had. She likes to observe the living cats, and in her deep longing to have what they have, she might meddle sometimes. But she easily loses sight of morality and rationality when she gets carried away with a certain idea. She is of the opinion that every cat carries a darkness. That given the right conditions, each cat is capable of hurting another for their own gain. So she tries to make the living cats miserable in order to test that theory. She does have a soft spot for the ignored and sickly, since they remind her of herself. Karma likes the ocean, sunsets, and attention. She dislikes bullies, proud have-it-alls, and being trapped.
BACKSTORYShe had died fairly young. Her mother had mostly ignored her when she was a kit, and had abandoned her when she was still young. She scraped by on survival for a while, just barely finding enough to eat as a much too young kit who was never taught to hunt. She would eat the carcasses of things left to rot just to survive. Because of this, she was very sickly. And yet she continued to scrape by, barely living~ if you could even call it that. Cats would sometimes stumble upon her sickly form. Some would curl in disgust, others would cringe in horror but consider her too far gone to be of any help. She became known by these cats as Zabyty~ an old word some cat knew meaning “forgotten”. But then there was one who was different. He did stop. He did try to help. His words were kind and he fed her fresh prey. He helped her to her paws with promises of taking her to new and better home. For the first time she had the attention she so desired, and everything seemed like it was going to be okay. But then he smashed all her hopes in an instant, knocking her into a pit. He had just been trying to clear her sick stinking form out of an area that would otherwise make a good home. He had been trying to wait out her inevitable death, but her stubborn attempts to cling to life were taking too long. He that in doing this, he had put her out of her misery. And so she died in that pit, drowning in her own despair and misery. When she was dead, she began haunting the one who left her to die, whispering into his ear and scaring away his prey. He became known as incredibly unlucky, and was gradually forced to eat carcasses as she had once been forced to do. He ended up dying of sickness, only thinking of and feeling bad for the young cat he had left for dead in his last moments. After that, she wandered aimlessly. She didn’t trust the other spirits. And she took some sick pleasure in testing the living cats, causing them pain and despair as she had once known. Sometimes she ended up leading them to their deaths. This likely made a bad name for herself among the other spirits and some may have tried to chase her away, or try to reverse the effects of her meddling. The other spirit cats go about calling her Karma, due to her vengeful actions which are often targeted against those who she deems guilty.
MISCELLANEOUS INFORMATION• Though her mother never paid her much attention, she had once mentioned the ocean fondly. It was one of the few things she had heard referred to in a good way. So it became her life’s dream to someday visit it. It was a childish pipe-dream, but she felt that if she made it to the ocean, that everything would be made right. However, she was far too sickly and inexperienced to make it. It wasn’t until she died that she was finally able to explore the land to her hearts content and discover the ocean. So sometimes she will be seen standing by the seaside, staring off into the ocean.
PHOTO ALBUM
Blare:Name - Blare Body Type - Tom-Cat Age - 20 moons Allegiance - Kittypet Territory - Shapercamp Beliefs - That everyone is capable of goodness. It’s just fear and doubt that sometimes cloud their minds. He believes the cats that die carry on in the hearts of those that remember them. Gender Identity - Male Pronouns - He/Him Preferences - She-cats Kin - Hot Shot Mate // Kits - N/A PHYSICAL APPEARANCESummary - A sleek red and white tom. Full Description - A healthy tom of average size and durable build. Lush, sleek, red fur. He has a white lower face and chest. His paws are also white. His eyes are green. PERSONALITY & MENTAL TRAITS Summary - A kind, trusting tom with a need to help others. Full Description - He is a kind tom, generous to a fault and all too trusting. He is very slow to anger, and if forced to fight, he will primarily fight defensively in order to protect himself or those around him. His fighting skills aren’t great, but his endurance is extraordinary. He tries to assume the best of the cats around him, even when they do very little to warrant that belief. He dislikes conflict and will do his utmost to help resolve it before it can become worse. He’s a meddler, one who is eager to help to the point of sometimes getting in the way more than actually helping. But he tries. Helping others is something that delights his soul~ something that makes him feel whole and makes his life meaningful. Because of his strong care for others, he is quick to risk his own life. He doesn’t hold his own life in particularly high regard, considering himself to be a mere tool for the happiness of others. His greatest fear is being incapable of helping those around them. Without that, his existence is meaningless. He’d become restless, desperate for some purpose to fulfill. BACKSTORYHe was born and raised as a kittypet, a life of ease, and a place from which he needed very little of what he had. He would often wander around the town. As a young cat, he had felt lost. He was the only cat in the house, and had so much stuff he felt overwhelmed with it all. Nothing felt meaningful to him. His brother across the street was completely satisfied with their way of life and didn’t seem to understand Blare’s restlessness. So Blare’s adventures out into town were a sort of search to find his meaning. One day he found a cat in trouble and helped them. They gave him their gratitude and carried on with their life. But ever since, he was hooked. The warm feeling within him when he helped that cat felt like just the thing he had been looking for. So after that, he would keep a close eye out in the neighbourhood for someone to help. Some cats were annoyed by this, others were grateful. But certain that this was his calling, he didn’t let anyone convince him otherwise. MISCELLANEOUS INFORMATION• PHOTO ALBUM Hot Shot:BASIC INFORMATION- Name -Hot Shot (will have a change in name one day) - Body Type -Tom-Cat - Age -20 - Allegiance -Kittypet - Territory -Shapercamp - Beliefs -When a cat dies, they are dead. He does not believe in spirits. - Gender Identity -Male - Pronouns -He/Him - Preferences -She-cats - Kin -Blare (Brother) - Mate // Kits -None PHYSICAL APPEARANCE- Summary -Sleek red tom with faint dark tabby markings and black along his back and tail. Has amber eyes. There is a bit of white on his muzzle and the underside of his tail. - Full Description -Hot Shot is a sleek red tom with black along his back and tail. The tips of his ears are also black. He has unenergetic amber eyes. He has a white muzzle and chin, as well as along the underside of his tail. His fur is longer than his brother Blaze’s, but he maintains his luscious locks nonetheless. He is slightly larger than average and is slightly overweight. He maintains a smooth and graceful walk despite his size. Both he and his brother bear thick and durable bones. PERSONALITY & MENTAL TRAITS- Summary -Hot Shot is a lazy, selfish tom who desires a simple life of ease. - Full Description -Hot Shot is a cat who treasures his quality time sunning in the warmth or chilling in the cool shadows when it is too hot. The life of ease is the dream, and every day he lives his dream to his fullest. Food brought at his beck and call, and no worries whatsoever except for his annoying brother who keeps visiting uninvited and sharing stories of his adventures. It’s annoying, but he has to admit it livens his day some, so he tolerates it. He hates getting dirty, looking bad, and having to work hard for something. But when he absolutely has to, he will work just enough to fulfill his needs~ just not while others are watching (if he can help it). Even in these cases, he has a penchant for shortcuts. BACKSTORYHe was born in the same litter as Blare. When they were still young, they were picked out by a couple of young teenage girls from the same block. The girls were friends, and would sometimes bring their cats along with them, so it wasn’t uncommon for Hot Shot to meet with Blare. The girl who owned him was named Selina, and she was always fascinated by muscles and what she considered to be handsome. Hot Shot was one such thing. “Aw! You’re such a handsome little thing! I’m gonna call you Hot Shot!” were the first words Selina had said to him as she picked him out. Those words were quickly followed by a waggle of brows and a cacophony of giggles. “Seriously Selina? You’re really going to name him that?” her best friend Manessa asked after recovering from her own onset of giggles. “Do you have anything better?” Manessa looked down at the kittens below. One of them let out a great loud MEW, stretching up and reaching for his missing brother. Manessa smiled and reached down to scoop up the vocal kitten. “Blare. Because he calls out so loud for his brother.” “Mine’s far more creative than that,” Selina bragged, which earned her a playful shove from Manessa. “As if!” They both laughed and Selina lifted Hot Shot high above her head, looking up at him with a grin. “Brace yourself Hot Shot. I’m going to spoil you silly, pretty kitty.” And so she did. Hot Shot was groomed often, fed plentifully, and had all the amusing things he could ever desire. He lived a life of luxury. Until the fire took all that away from him. MISCELLANEOUS INFORMATION • ??? PHOTO ALBUM Char:BASIC INFORMATION - Name -Char - Body Type -She-Cat - Age -32 - Allegiance -Sturdy Claws - Territory -Barren Basin and coniferous forests beyond. - Beliefs -That the spirits of old will punish those who break the rules. - Gender Identity -Female - Pronouns -She/Her - Preferences -Toms - Kin -??? - Mate // Kits -None PHYSICAL APPEARANCE- Summary -A short furred black cat with yellow eyes and a burn scar on the right side of her face (according to herself). - Full Description -Char is a lithe black cat with yellow eyes and short fur. A burn scar resides on the right side of her face and more burn scars run across some of her pelt. PERSONALITY & MENTAL TRAITS- Summary -Char is a superstitious if slightly crazed young she-cat. She wishes to do good by the spirits, and fears the death of the cats around her. Whenever a cat dies, she feels that she must honour it at all costs. - Full Description -Char is extremely superstitious. She hates to go into haunted areas, and if she must, she does all she can to appease whatever spirits dwell there. Every action she does is carefully planned to avoid stirring their anger. She is usually quick to warn others about potential dangers and fears, and will be adamant with her words that they be extremely careful or avoid certain things entirely. She cares about the lives around her and ultimately hopes for their survival, but though she will warn them, she will not usually risk crossing the spirits for them~ unless it was perhaps someone she really cared for, in which case she would find a loophole in her many rules and hope for the best. She is largely ruled by her fear of the spirits and for their leader, whom she sees as appointed by the rules of their ancestors~ practically chosen by the spirits. BACKSTORYChar was born among the Sturdy Claws, but as a young she-cat she had gotten caught up in a small forest fire with some of her fellow claws within the haunted forest. A series of events separated her from her fellow claws, and she became mesmerized by the flames, frozen within sight of their burning light. A falling branch knocked sense into her and freed her from her frozen state. After scrambling free and escaping the flames, she wandered lost for some time in the haunted forest. By the time she found the Sturdy Claws camp, she was a changed cat and many considered her to be insane with her crazy mutterings. They considered getting rid of her entirely, but in a time of crisis when their leader was sick, Char proved her worth by finding the herbs to cure their leader. When asked how she had picked up those skills, she would say that she had picked it up from a helpful spirit in those woods. Though some cats think that is just her craziness talking. She adamantly refuses to go back into that forest, and it would take an awful lot of convincing to make her go. MISCELLANEOUS INFORMATION• ??? PHOTO ALBUM Salt:BASIC INFORMATION- Name -Salt - Body Type -Tom-kit - Age -4 (almost 5) moons - Allegiance -Kittypet - Territory -Shapercamp near the coast - Beliefs -None - Gender Identity -Male - Pronouns -He/Him - Preferences -She-cats - Kin -Zoey (mother) ??? (father) Pepper (brother) - Mate // Kits -None PHYSICAL APPEARANCE- Summary -Fluffy black and white tom with green eyes. He has a touch of orange on his tailtip. - Full Description -Salt is a white tom with black spots and mottles on his pelt. He has bright green eyes and fluffy fur that puffs out nearly twice his size. He has a tiny touch of orange on his tail tip. PERSONALITY & MENTAL TRAITS- Summary -A sensitive soul who strives to be strong enough to protect those whom he loves. - Full Description -Salt is a tender young soul who strives to be strong and brave like his brother, and loving guardian like his mother. He shares his brother’s excitement in adventure and does whatever he can to have his brother’s back. The more brave his brother is, the more bravado he is able to muster. When his mother and brother aren’t around, he doesn’t feel nearly as strong, but he will still do what he can to pursue that which he strives for. He’s always been more of a follower than a leader. He’s never desired to be a leader, but rather, a protector. The tender soul within Salt will sometimes cause him to ask personal questions out of the blue. Whether it be out of curiosity or concern, sometimes his questions sting like salt in a wound. He also enjoys to tease his brother whenever he can slip it in, as brothers often do. Though if he feels that Pepper was hurt by his teasing, he would be quick to apologize. BACKSTORYSalt was born inside a small but bustling Shapercamp along with his younger brother, Salt. They never knew their father, leaving Zoey, their mother, to raise them all on her own. Traditionally, kittypet kits would be separated from their mothers at an early age and found new homes, but Zoey did not wish the same fate upon her kits, and as such both Pepper and Salt have been raised in secret right under their mother’s housefly’s noses. They are both currently unnamed, but not out of a lack of love. MISCELLANEOUS INFORMATION• ??? PHOTO ALBUM

Ahh, they look great Light! I’m so sorry I’m so slacking ^^’ I’ve been busy lately, and getting up mostly my rp replies. I’ll try to get my character sheets finished.. sometime soonish?? Again, super sorry. I’ve got a few of them finished- so I might post them on here soon, if you guy’s would like!

Hey so, my muse has totally tanked again. If either of you are interested, feel free to start the roleplay; I'm not going to be around for quite a while, unfortunately. The alternative is we put it on indefinite hiatus, which I don't want to have happen since you're both (presumably) very excited for it.

Thank you both for understanding. :') I had a lot on my plate, and there still is to some degree, so while I think I'll be creating the RP page within the very near future, I can't promise when the Info Page will get done. My muse for these things can disappear at the drop of a hat for days or weeks on end, and if I'm not 100% on something, I'm not going to produce something half-baked, ya know? XP I hope you'll both be able to cope until then! We have everything mostly here on this page anyway, even if it's not entirely organized. When we do start, again, I'm going to have Pepper and Zoey with Salt for a day before they get separated before the fire hits the region, Monarch will flee from the flames sometime after, and Misty will appear later somewhere along the coast. (Perhaps she can interact with one of your characters?) Monarch will find the group later, totally petrified, and the kits will find Paleface. I don't know what to do with Paleface yet, honestly. She'll be exiled for sure, but I'm still thoughtcrafting on how to do that. Swindle won't be used for some time, and I'm not going to develop any Sturdy Claw cats for now.
