RippleClan: a Clangen story Welcome Welcome to RippleClan, the home of the tranquil and thoughtful! This thread is one of those typical Clangen stories where I plan on writing some events that happen with RippleClan. Some events may be longer than others or shorter. Just depends how I feel when I'm writing. I don't expect anyone to read this thread too much, it's just for some enjoyment or a way for me to pass the time. I may add a discussion page later if someone's interested.
Thanks for stopping by!
MOON 0 - published 14/11/2024. Settings Here are a list of the current settings for the story. They may change as the game goes on if I get to too many pages of cats for example. Warning though, I get way too attached to these cats and they're just pixels on a screen.
GENERAL SETTINGS - Auto save every five moons [ON] - Allow mass extinction events [OFF] [will be turned on at some point, give me the courage.] - Show exact XP and nutrition stats [ON] - Allow med cats to be randomly selected on patrols [ON] - Allow dead cats to fade away [OFF] - the other stuff does not matter.
RELATIONS SETTINGS - Allow cats to breed with cats who aren't their mates [ON] - Pregnancy ignores biology [OFF] - Increase same sex adoption [ON] - Allow romantic interactions with former mentors [ON] - Allow first cousins to be mates and have romantic interactions [OFF, for obvious reasons //gag]
ROLE SETTINGS - Allow leaders to automatically choose a new deputy [ON] - Disable experience-based apprentice graduation [OFF, yes let's make it a tad hard so I get attached] - Cats will never retire due to a permanent condition [OFF, I'm disabled for god's sake] - Allow warrior and elders choose to become mediators [ON] Territory & Camp RippleClan lives along a beach, where the current interchanges with the seasons. They have made their home in a shipwreck and built dens againsts rocks that reside within the sand. • The Ocean - the ocean is right at RippleClan's grasp, its blue and green waters full of mystery. Sometimes the clan hunts on the beach where they can find fish and other creatures. • The Dunes - the dunes aren't far from camp and are a great place to train. • Camp - a shipwreck with plenty of wood and rocks that create dens for the felines. Not far from the camp is the ocean. Bordering Clans Our bordering clans are to be determined. Will update once I do a border patrol & discover the clans!
BlotchClan - the wary. NeedleClan - the logical. FreckleClan - the bloodthirsty

RippleClan: a Clangen story Detailed Allegiances Leader Lavenderstar lives: 9 | age: 103 moons | female, she/her | senior adult | pelt: long, rosette, dark brown & white | eyes: heather blue - playful - eloquent speaker - incredible runner
Lavenderstar is a bulky, long-furred she-cat. She has a dark brown and white pelt which is covered in a rosette pattern, much like a bengal's. She has an odd owl-like feature to her visage. She has deep heather blue eyes. Lavenderstar is an eloquent speaker and is able to sway her clanmates with her skills. She is also an incredible runner as well. She is the first clan founder and was chosen by Pouncebat to be the leader due to her experience among the group.
She has no known kin. Deputy Claystripe age: 96 moons | male, he/him | senior adult | pelt: long, sokoke & pale | eyes: sage - shameless - steady paws - great speaker
Claystripe is a thin, long-furred tom with long limbs. Pale grey blotches cover his pale pelt and his feather tail. He has sage green eyes.
It's safe to say Claystripe is shameless, even he admits to it. He's got steady paws which is great for navigating the beach and the dunes. One doesn't want to fall into the sand and get buried! He is also a great speaker and usually offers to speak for Lavenderstar, who doesn't always let him have his way.
He has no known kin. Healer Driftdaisy age: 33 moons | female, she/her | young adult | pelt: short, speckled, ginger & white | eyes: blue - faithful - great mediator - n/a
Driftdaisy is a sleek, short haired she-cat. She has a ginger and white pelt, full of darker ginger speckles. Her tail is thin and multicolored. She has blue eyes. A strong believer of all faithful souls, Driftdaisy is in her perfect position as a medicine cat. She is also a great mediator like some of her clanmates.
Her mother was Pouncebat and her father is unknown. Warriors Aloefoot age: 86 moons | male, he/him | adult | pelt: short, singlecolor, silver | eyes: green
- wise - excellent teacher - n/a
As boring as Aloefoot may appear, he's a wise feline. For what he doesn't have in looks, he makes up in personality. He's a short haired silver tom with green eyes. Among his clanmates, he's known for being an excellent teacher.
His younger sister is Frostpond, who is 4 moons younger.
Frostpond age: 84 moons | female, she/her | adult | pelt: long, agouti, silver & white | eyes: copper - bold - great mediator - great kitsitter
A long haired silver she-cat, Frostpond has agouti tabby markings across her pelt. They are more prominent on her face and the tip of her tail. She has a white chest and paws. Her eyes are a vivid shade of copper. She is a great mediator and prefers when her clanmates are at peace with each other. She enjoys kitsitting as well, but most of all, she is bold.
Her older brother is Aloefoot, who is 4 moons older. She has a crush on Crestedslash and does a poor job of hiding it. Crestedslash age: 45 moons | male, he/him | young adult | pelt: long, mackerel, dark brown | eyes: cobalt - strict - good mediator - keen eye
A fluffy dark brown tom, Crestedslash is quite slim beneath his long pelt. He has deep brown mackerel tabby markings and cobalt blue eyes. He is a good mediator, something he learned from Frostpond. He's a strict feline, always following the rules and is mostly rational. He also has a keen eye, emeaning that he's quite observant and aware of his surroundings. Although he has yet to pick up on Frostpond's crush on him.
He has no known kin.
Galefuzz age: 16 moons | female, she/her | young adult | pelt: medium, smoke, pale grey | eyes: sunlit ice - responsible - fast runner - n/a
Galefuzz is fresh out of the apprentice's den at the age of 16 moons (moon 0). She's a pale grey smoke she-cat with sunlit ice eyes. Her fur is medium in length, giving her some shelter from the bad weather when it hits the beach. She is, oddly enough, responsible for her young age. She's a fast runner too and she's hoping she can teach it to her apprentice, Goldenpaw.
She has no known kin.
apprentice: Goldenpaw (Moon 0) Sandfleck* age: 35 moons | female, she/her | young adult | pelt: medium, speckled, cream | eyes: emerald - insecure - great teacher - den builder
Sandfleck, formerly known as Fleck, met Lavenderstar and Frostpond along the border. She is a speckled cream tabby she-cat with big emerald green eyes. She is insecure and unsure of her new surroundings. She is also a great teacher and den builder.
She left her former home because something terrible happened, but she's unwilling to explain it further. Sandfleck joined in Moon 0.
She has no known kin.
Apprentices Goldenpaw age: 11 moons | male, he/him | adolescent | pelt: medium, smoke, golden | eyes: pale yellow
- daring - lover of stories - n/a
Goldenpaw is a lean, medium haired tom. He has golden smoke pelt as the points on his face, tail, and ears are a tad darker than the rest of his pelt. He has pale yellow eyes. He is daring and a lover of stories. Galefuzz is his mentor, despite being 5 moons older than him.
He has no known kin.
Mentor: Galefuzz (Moon 0)
Queens & Kits Yewkit age: 5 moons | male, he/him | kitten | pelt: long, classic, grey | eyes: pale yellow
- polite - constantly climbing - n/a

- sweet - picky nest builder - n/a

RippleClan: Moon 0 Events
BIG EVENTS: Clan was founded by Lavenderstar, thanks to Pouncebat. Ceremonies: n/a Births & Deaths: n/a Relationships: n/a Health: Horsetail & moss were gathered. Other Clans: n/a Misc: Fleck (now known as Sandfleck) joins RippleClan!
Prompts (4) Here I will post the prompts that I think I'd like to write. Some may be short, some long, or in between. Maybe I'll just react to it, we'll find out. Patrol 1: HERB GATHERING - Driftdaisy & Crestedslash | gathered horsetail & mossWhile the light breeze ruffled Driftdaisy's ginger speckled pelt, she can't help but name off the herbs she needs to gather. Speaking aloud her to-do list was always helpful. "Well, it's best that we find some horsetail and moss today," she explained to Crestedslash. The healer didn't want to bore her clanmate with confusing details about herbs. Not many of them cared to discuss her duties anyways, at least that's what Pouncebat had always told her. Yet for some reason, the dark brown tabby tom broke into a conversation about the much needed herbs.
"So, where do you think we will find the horsetail?" Crestedslash asked, his cobalt gaze sweeping over the bluffs. "Definitely not in the dunes, right?"
Did he know more than Driftdaisy ever assumed of him? She hadn't realized that Crestedslash had some herb knowledge which made her feel foolish. But, like usual, the healer broke into a long spiel about her duties, mostly how she gathered herbs and what kinds she could find along the beach and even in the dunes. "We can find moss near camp, there's a large poplar tree that has plenty of it around the roots," Driftdaisy told the warrior and began rambling on. "As for the horsetail, we'll be lucky if we can find it near the Moon Cave. I'll admit, it's hard to find it here without any muddy areas this moon."
Crestedslash glanced at Driftdaisy, taking in all of her expertise. He was quite interested in her duties as a healer for they sounded more significant than his own. "Okay. Maybe we could head that way first then? If the horsetail is closer to camp, we can grab it on our way back. Y'know, it's nice to be with someone who's knowledgeable," the dark tabby said, his gaze meeting hers briefly. "Not that our clanmates aren't! But your job is... different, it has more meaning. Like being close to StarClan, healing us when we're injured."
The speckled healer's heart suddenly felt different than it ever had. It felt light like a feather, knowing that being able to share her knowledge and skills with another cat who respected her was rare. At the same time, she was grateful that Crestedslash was a considerate tom who appeared to appreciate her for who she was and her position. She blinked at him, trying to process his words. More meaning? she thought, struggling to find her words. "Sure! We can both carry an herb too," Driftdaisy replied, shuffling her paws gently. She quickly blurted out, "I guess, but being a warrior isn't easy either. You risk your life every day, but I'd like to think we're alike in more ways than one. We both save or help others, no matter the outcome."
Driftdaisy had never felt this comfortable or intrigued by another feline. Was this feeling something deeper than she could explain? As they returned to camp, she began to dwell on her feelings. She wasn't sure what they are, but they seemed to be more than an amicable friendship. Or was she simply moving too fast and was misunderstanding Crestedslash's kindness? Patrol 2: TRAINING - Galefuzz & Goldenpaw | something's not right...Goldenpaw felt off today, his thoughts were much like a catastrophic storm. He would be a warrior soon and to him, it seemed so far out of reach. Had five, almost six moons of training already gone by? Would he even pass his next assessment with Lavenderstar?
Sure, Galefuzz had trained him well despite her young age, but the golden smoke tom believed he could and needed to learn more. His pale yellow gaze met the she-cat's sunlit one, sunshine dancing within her orbs. "Come on, Goldenpaw! We're gonna practice fighting techniques today. You've got that assessment with Lavenderstar coming up, right?" the grey smoke she-cat meowed in a cheerful tone.
Goldenpaw rolled his eyes before stepping away from his mentor. He couldn't follow her into the training grounds. Not today, at least. Anxiety pricked at his pelt as he felt shivers roll into his shoulders. "No," he managed to meow.
"No? What's wrong, can I help you in any way? Talk to me, Goldenpaw," Galefuzz mewed, her voice dripping with concern. She tried to make eye contact with her apprentice, who swiftly moved his head away. She frowned as worry seeped into her thoughts.
"Can we just get on with training? Please," Goldenpaw pleaded with slight desperation in his voice. He didn't want to have to explain his stupid emotions to Galefuzz right now. He simply wasn't comfortable enough to be vulnerable.
Galefuzz realized she and Goldenpaw were at an impasse– one that they wouldn't get past today, at least not now. She sighed silently and nodded to the golden tom. "'Course. Fighting techniques it is," the warrior mewed as she padded further away from Goldenpaw. He reluctantly followed, despite his request. Maybe things would be better tomorrow, but Galefuzz knew today was a dud. Patrol 3: HUNTING - Claystripe & Aloefoot | oops! someone's a show off...Last rays of sunset, Aloefoot and Claystripe head out in the gathering dusk. They stood on a bluff, overseeing the beach and ocean. The sky was many shades of purple, pink and orange, the colors muddling together before their very own eyes.
"Right then! Let's play a game, Aloefoot. Whoever brings back the most prey wins bragging rights," Claystripe suggested with a big grin on his face. "I bet I'll bring back every mouse in sight!"
Aloefoot wore a blank expression on his face, unamused by the deputy. Despite the two being ten moons apart, the silver tom couldn't feel a single connection with Claystripe. "I suppose, but we should focus on the amount of prey we need for the clan," the wise warrior told the pale tabby who snorted in response.
"Why would we bother with that? Playing a little game makes things exciting, don't you think?"
"No, we're not kits, Claystripe. Let's get going unless we want to show up empty pawed," Aloefoot retorted, his green eyes narrowed as he padded past the pale deputy.
As the two padded several fox lengths apart, both toms scented the air for prey. Claystripe's sage green eyes widened, knowing he had scented a vole. "THERE'S PREY!" he squealed, loud enough to scare their prey away for good.
Aloefoot didn't bother to utter a word and tried his best to stay in coordination with the deputy. As Claystripe hunted down the vole, his leap was poor and caused him to land flat on his chest. Aloefoot hissed, running after the vole which squeaked in response. He wasn't quick enough to catch it as he watched the rodent amble away.
"You're supposed to have steady paws. So much for that," the silver tom grumbled, clearly discouraged with Claystripe. "Thanks to you, we have caught no prey."
"Come on, Aloefoot! Wouldn't you say my leaps and crouches were perfect? If you had followed my lead, we'd have prey," Claystripe argued back with a roll of his eyes.
"Well, considering that you didn't catch a single piece of prey, I'd say the opposite," Aloefoot mewed, his voice deepening. "You ruined our coordination by messing around like a kit. I don't understand what was going through your mind, but it wasn't what I had in mind at all."
Without any further comments, Claystripe let out a dramatic sigh and turned towards camp. Aloefoot soon followed, drained from the experience with the deputy. Patrol 4: BORDER - Lavenderstar & Frostpond | a loner joins the clan!"You're late, Frostpond," Lavenderstar mewed to the warrior, glancing at the silver and white tabby's pelt. Flecks of sand were common to see, but not the amount of sand that lay on top of Frostpond's pelt. "Did you fall into the dunes or somethin'?"
Embarrassed, Frostpond shuffled her paws and began shaking the sand off of her once clean pelt. "Well, uh, I kinda got lost around the Twoleg dens. The ones we see them use in greenleaf, yeah? I was chasing a crab and it didn't go as planned," the warrior explained, her gaze not meeting the leader's.
A chortle came out of Lavenderstar, her heather blue eyes gleaming in amusement. "At least you tried! We've got a border to check, so let's get going before it gets too dark," she mewed as she began leading them out of camp.
Once at the border, Lavenderstar and Frostpond began marking trees, shrubs, and rocks in silence. Yet the presence of another cat was obvious– their ears stuck out of a shrub as their green eyes fixated on the two clan cats. As willing as she was, Lavenderstar padded over with a friendly smile. "Hi there! I'm Lavenderstar, what brings you to RippleClan's border?" she greeted as he tail twitched behind her like a dog's.
Frostpond followed suit although she seemed more hesitant to banter with the loner. She knew the clan needed members, but was this cat trustworthy? Without thinking too much about it, she joined in on the conversation.
"Clan cats? I haven't come across any of those so far," the speckled cream tabby commented, her big green eyes flickering back and forth. "Are there a lot of you out here?"
Frostpond shrugged, "Not really. I think we're the only clan out this far. We made our home on a beach."
"You're free to join us!" Lavenderstar piped in, looking at the cream feline expectantly.
"Sure, but wait! You don't know my name and I don't know yours," the cream feline mewed, slightly confused. "I'm Fleck, what're your names?"
"I'm Lavenderstar, I'm the leader of our group! This is–" the dark brown and white dappled leader mewed but was cut off by Frostpond.
"My name's Frostpond," the silver and white tabby interrupted. "Your name is missing something. How about we call you... Sandfleck? Your pelt is the same color as the sand beneath our paws."
Fleck, now Sandfleck paused for a moment. "Oh okay, I kind of like that! Now, where do you all live?" she mewed in response.
"Follow us," the clan cats meowed in unison. RippleClan: Moon 1 Events

Oh thank you ;w;, I appreciate it! I’m hoping to get the first moon up soon. I’ll leave your post there since I’ve got enough posts. If I need to move things around in the future, it should be easy. Weird question, but I’m assuming to make cats as family members I need to edit the files?

Weird question, but I’m assuming to make cats as family members I need to edit the files? yes. Directory -> Clanname folder -> clan_cats.json Inside is the information of all the cats tracked by that Clan. You can add the ID numbers of the desired parents in the parent1/parent2 line (with the number in quotation marks ex. "14"). The game tracks everything through parentage, so if you want two cats to be littermates, you'll have to either a) assign both cats to be a child of a living cat, b) assign both so the StarClan guide is the parent (the easiest way; scroll through to find the StarClan's guide's ID and throw them in as a parent on all siblings) or c) file edit in new cats to be a parent (the hardest way, but can be fun if you want their parent to randomly show up later in the story)

Thank you so much <3 I've been trying to create Aloefoot and Frostpond's mother, but it appears harder than I expected as I keep getting an error in the cats_load (or is load_cats?) json file. I wonder if I should just age Frostpond down and make Aloefoot her father or just unrelate them all together.

I wonder if I should just age Frostpond down and make Aloefoot her father or just unrelate them all together. If you want to make a new cat, there's a few extra steps. I assume you've managed to gen them into the clan_cats.json by copying another cat and editing it. Clangen is weird and assigns initial cat IDs in a really random way that I honestly have yet to figure out, but you'll need to go to the directory and instead of going in the Clanname folder, go to the Clanname.json in the main directory file. Down at the mid-bottom area, there will be a string of numbers for the Clan cats. Add the ID you gave to your genned cat here, and it should run without error (I'll def make genning cats one of my first mini tutorials once I finish doing the line-by-line of both the cats and the clan data files)

(you are amazing, I'll create my new cat tomorrow with all of that info! it definitely explains why it couldn't find the new cat. the ID thing is something I want to know more about, but I have never looked for info about it.)
Moon 0 is up because I was bored and feeling it ;; somehow ended up with a new cat and Driftdaisy's already catching feelings.
