I think I'll take leader of RockClan if that's okay, since it doesn't seem like anyone else is really wanting the spot. I'll play Stonestar as leader c:
GaleClan
Name: Badgerclaw
Age: 45 moons
Sex: Male
Affiliation: Caught between GaleClan and the Vipers. Badgerclaw lives with GaleClan, but his brother Boneface (now Bone) has joined the Vipers. Ultimately, Badgerclaw only cares for himself and his own.
Rank: Warrior
Family: Brother: Bone, of the Vipers. Nephews: Adderpaw, Crowpaw of GaleClan
Mentor/Apprentice, if any:
Appearance: Badgerclaw looks, as his name suggests, similar to a badger. His fur is predominately white, but from his nose to his tail runs a thick black stripe. He is very much, much larger than most cats, broad shouldered, an immovable mass. His claws are sharp as thorns or worse and his eyes are much the same, a dark, brooding blue. There are some who think he and Tigereye, the deputy, must be related due to sheer size alone.
Personality: Badgerclaw is antifeminist to the extreme. He believes to the utmost in the strength of males and the weakness of females, and it takes much to dissuade him from his belief. This is one of the reasons he has yet had a mate. Other than this, Badgerclaw keeps himself to himself, and mostly converses only with his family. He holds strongly to the belief that he is greater than most cats and deserves their respect as thus, though when it comes to his superiors he cannot do enough for them.
Other:
Name: Adderpaw Age: 8 moons ( ?) Sex: Male Affiliation: Lives with GaleClan, but secretly visits his father Bone in the Vipers Rank: Apprentice Family: Brother: Crowpaw of GaleClan, Uncle: Badgerclaw of GaleClan, Father: Bone of the Vipers Mentor/Apprentice, if any: Appearance: Adderpaw looks very similar to his brother, Crowpaw, as their pelts are very similar in colour. However, Adderpaw's is dappled with scale-like changes in shade and his eyes are a dark, snake green. He has sharper teeth than his brother, sharper than most cats, and a very active tail. Personality: Adderpaw's demeanour is one of mainly insolence. He is better than all she-cats and behaves as such. He is also better than some pathetic toms, such as his brother, Crowpaw. His relationship with Crowpaw is strained, but when they train together they are harmonious for the short duration of the session. Other: Needs a mentor
Name: Ebony Age: 9 moons Sex: Female Affiliation: GaleClan, though she was previously a loner Rank: Apprentice, awaiting approval to join the Clan proper Family: Ebony has no living family that she knows of, Pinepaw is her half-brother though they don't know it Mentor/Apprentice, if any: Appearance: Ebony's fur is a rich black, like hot tar. Her fur is short and her chest is a creamy ivory colour from her throat to the middle of her belly. She has bright green eyes. Personality: Ebony dislikes leaning on others for help, but misses the feeling of a family that can be counted on when really needed; this is one of the main reasons she chooses to seek out a Clan. She once lived with two littermates and her father, with whom she trained, but since they were killed off by a family of foxes three moons prior, she became bitter and lonely. It can be difficult to get her to open up, but after that she can easily fall and become attached. Other: Is on 'probation' to see if she can be accepted into GaleClan. Also will need a mentor.
RockClan
Name: Halfwind
Age: 37 moons
Sex: Male
Affiliation: RockClan
Rank: Medicine Cat
Family: Halfwind has no living family. His father was exiled from the Clan and his mother is dead.
Mentor/Apprentice, if any: Tawnypaw
Appearance: Halfwind is a skinny, unhealthy looking tom, with beige fur and black ears. His fur is incredibly short, with bare parts close to his scar. His face and head look almost like they have no fur at all. His eyes are a pale, intelligent-looking blue. Halfwind has only three legs; he is missing his right hind-leg due to birth defects that seem to be hereditary; many of his ancestors seem to have had birth defects. He also suffers from an often-painful, large scar that runs from his shoulder to his haunches. It healed badly and often comes apart, never really completely healing, and causes him immense pain on a practically daily basis. It is this that makes him completely unsuitable for war.
Personality: Halfwind is a pacifist at heart, but he does at times understand the necessities of war. He understands the defensive reasons for war and fully supports the need to protect ones' own. However, further than protection, he is against the use of any violence. He is a caring, quiet tom who carefully follows his own rules without being too open about them. He finds it incredibly difficult to trust other toms, especially those who are older than he is, and never truly believes in another cat's friendship, believing himself to be of little or no worth.
Other: His father is open to be played, and would have to be in the Vipers.
Name: Dusktalon Age: 22 moons Sex: Male Affiliation: RockClan Rank: Warrior Family: Mother: Fox Mentor/Apprentice, if any: Appearance: Dusktalon's thick, long fur is a dark, raven blue-grey, and his eyes are a bright, brilliant green. He is a handsome tom and knows it, though his flaunting of it is subtle and lazy. Personality: Dusktalon is a lazy tom, much to the despair of his former mentor. Though full of talent, he has never had the drive for greatness, and theorizes that this is why his mother shows no interest in him; he doesn't mind. Dusktalon isn't one to follow the orders of his superiors and only does enough to avoid punishment. He has had one apprentice, and intends to have no others. Dusktalon is a flirt and a player, and it certainly seems unlikely that he will ever settle down, or even feel something more than lust for any she-cat. Other:
Name: Cherryflower Age: 26 moons Sex: Female Affiliation: RockClan Rank: Warrior Family: Cherryflower has no living family that she knows of; her mother, father and sister went missing when she was an apprentice and she has no idea what happened to them. Mentor/Apprentice, if any: Appearance (picture or description): Cherryflower is a fluffy, albino she-cat. Her fur is thick, long, and white, and her eyes are a soft pink. Personality: Cherryflower is, to say the least, a quiet cat. She is very reserved, but holds herself with a certain respect and pride. She is incredibly loyal, especially to Shadowlark, and can be very kind and caring. Cherryflower, however, is a mute cat. Other: Cherryflower was born to an albino she-cat, Dawnsong, and a white tom with blue eyes, Bluewing, in a litter of two. Her sister, Rosepaw, was also albino, though had shorter fur. Rosepaw was a medicine cat apprentice. When Cherryflower was 7 moons old, she went into the forest with her family, but returned alone. She refused to tell anyone where they were and, in fact, would say nothing at all. She became a selective mute and has since forgotten how to coax words from her lips, though this doesn't bother her. Cherryflower has always been best friends with Shadowlark, since they were kits, and Shadowlark is the only cat who can really understand her very well. Some of the Clan can make a guess of it, but only Shadowlark understands her perfectly. (If anyone wants to play either parent, possibly in the Vipers, let me know?)
Name: Riverpaw Age: 10 moons ? Sex: Female Affiliation: RockClan Rank: Apprentice Family: Mother: Russetfang, Sisters: Darkshade, Morningblossom, Ravensong, Tawnypaw Mentor/Apprentice, if any: Appearance: Riverpaw has dark blue-grey fur and brilliant blue eyes. She is larger than her siblings, taller, with longer legs, tail and bigger ears, nose and paws. Personality: Riverpaw began to show her dominance over her siblings from a very young age, and now can be easily seen as a natural leader. She is, however, kind in her instruction; she wants the best for her sister and will 'push' her accordingly. Of her siblings, only Darkshade shows the same leadership skills, and Riverpaw dislikes her for being their mother's favourite. Other: Needs a mentor, preferably a high-up powerful one
Name: Minnowkit Age: to be born Sex: female Affiliation: RockClan Rank: Kit Family: Goldenflower - mother, Bone - father, Adderpaw, Crowpaw, Clover, Waspkit, Applekit - siblings Appearance: Minnowkit looks much like her mother; a bengal tiger created in miniature. Her eyes are a lovely light blue-silver that dapples in the sunlight. Personality: Minnowkit is a rule follower. She's never been much of a risk-taker and would rather stay by her mother's side, knowing she's safe, rather than going out on adventures like many other kits do. She is very smart, and at times can be manipulative to get what she wants. She is usually very self-serving, and around cats she doesn't like, can come across as cold and unfriendly. She is honest to a fault, and tends to give out advice to other cats regardless of whether they actually want it or not.
The Vipers
Name: Fox
Age: 53 moons
Sex: Female
Affiliation: The Vipers
Rank: Queen
Family: Mate: Fang of the Vipers, Son: Dusktalon of RockClan, Daughters: Nettle of the Vipers, Brother: Kestrel of the Vipers
Mentor/Apprentice, if any:
Appearance: Fox is a lean, well-groomed, muscular she-cat. Her fur is a light auburn colour that really lights up in the summer sun, especially because of the bright ginger flashes and dapples that litter her glossy coat. Her eyes are a brilliant green colour, like that of fresh summer leaves, and glitter with a strange light that only seems to appear in her eyes, almost gleeful.
Personality: Fox's personality is odd in that she isn't the most ruthless of leaders. Fox is a playful cat at many times, and enjoys frolicking in the sun, but this is often mixed with forcing her warriors to entertain her by fighting or dancing while she bathes in the sun. She can be a harsh punisher, but sometimes lets cats off without punishment, seemingly with random choice as to which of these happens. Her mood can change at the drop of a leaf from an autumn tree. Fox is, however, completely dependent on having other cats surrounding her.
Other: Fox does not know who all her kits are, being very promiscuous. Dusktalon is not Fang's kit, while Nettle is. Only Fang's kits remain in the Vipers. If anyone wants a littermate of Nettle's, let me know; Violet has already claimed one.
Name: Snow Age: 26 moons Sex: Female Affiliation: Vipers Rank: Lesser healer Family: Hemlock - father, Cherryflower - sister, mother deceased (all unknown) Mentor/Apprentice, if any: Appearance (picture or description): Snow is an albino cat, a brilliantly bright white in colour with sharp pink eyes Personality: There is something hidden deep in Snow's memory that prevents her being the loud cat she wants to be. She wishes she could stand up to the bigger cats that don't treat her well, but if she tries she finds that she just shrinks away and goes quiet. She is very timid. As well as this, something draws her to the older healer, Hemlock, but she has no idea what. She wonders if she is falling for him, but has no intention of acting on it if she is; he scares her just a little bit, like most cats. Other: Snow is actually Rosepaw, Cherryflower's missing sister, but an incident left her with no memory of her kit hood and her life in the Vipers is all she's known
Name: Nettle Age: 9 moons ? Sex: Female Affiliation: The Vipers Rank: Novice Family: Mother: Fox, Father: Fang, Sister: Mentor/Apprentice, if any: Appearance: Nettle's fur is a pure, shadowy black, a colour that allows her to disappear into the shadows when she desires, but for her brilliant green eyes. Personality: Nettle is cold and unattached to the cats around her, and cares not for the fate of her faction. For this reason, she would not make a good Queen. She does, however, desire to be powerful and quickwitted, for herself if not for her faction. Other: Needs a mentor
Others
Name: Champ
Age: 6 moons
Sex: Male
Affiliation: Kittypet
Family: Mother: Twinkle, Aunt: Midnight
Appearance: Champ is a fluffy kitten with orange tabby fur and bright amber eyes.
Personality: Excitable and impulsive, but occasionally can take things seriously. Longs to follow his aunt into the forest.
Other:
Thank you to everyone who sent in skeletons! I'm busy today, but I should have my own up tomorrow. Also, I'm thinking about starting the RP sometime this weekend. I know there's only a few of us, but maybe more will join once we get started. Do you guys think that's a good idea, or do you want to wait longer?
Could you use the skeleton I provided? I basically just need you to add in any family your cats have (if there is any), and what Mentor or Apprentice you want if you have a preference for your cats.
You bring up an excellent point. Alright, new rule; if a she-cat wants to have kits, she must first receive permission from the king and queen. That way, they can control how many pregnant and therefore incapacitated she-cats they have at one time. Also, if somehow it is found that the Queen has borne kits with a male who is not the King, those kits will be executed immediately.
Sure!
i like the idea of she-cats being allowed to have kits, but that kind of messes up my plot line with Wilder considering she's supposed to get killed for being pregnant. unless you guys don't think it will affect that plot line at all? cause i was really excited about it and don't want it to be messed up. :]
[font=Cambria]
She could have just gotten pregnant without permission, then she would still be killed.
oh okay! i think i read it wrong, so i didn't understand it. :] thank you for that clarification though. it's greatly appreciated. :]
[font=Cambria]
No problem, I'll try to word it better next time. c:
nah, you're totally fine. i was kind of half paying attention, so it's my fault on that one. :] by the way, are there any plots you need help in or anything? just so we keep this focused on the roleplay. haha!
[font=Cambria]
That works :) No one will know about Dusktalon being the Queen's kit.
Yeah, she would just not have permission from the King/Queen. Easy enough, because I can just have Fox say no.
yeah, which is totally fine. it kind actually makes things more interesting. :]
[font=Cambria]
It would be cool if Wilder came to ask permission, then the Queen would have some hint of it. Also, I LOVE her name btw <3
that's exactly what was thinking would happen actually. it might also be the Queen who ends up telling her mate too cause i wasn't really sure how he'd end up finding out. :] thank you! i really like it too. :] i thought it was a cool name.
[font=Cambria]
Yes, I would love my warriors to have apprentices if anyone has anyone free. Blue, I fixed the skellies, do you want family (parents) for every single cat coz I don't have a full family tree for every character, only the ones that are relevant. Chicorykit and Parsley do need a father still. Hey Syn, Cherryflower would be awesome :P
“Peace, if it ever exists, will not be based on the fear of war but on the love of peace.†- Benda, Julien
Thanks you! And no, I only meant family that's actually in the roleplay, like your Tanglebelly and Heatherpelt being siblings.
GaleClan
Name: Flickerflame
Age: 40 moons
Sex: male
Affiliation: GaleClan
Rank: warrior
Family: Flickerflame was very close to his father, Flameclaw, growing up, and looked up to him as his role model. His father taught him about the warrior code, StarClan, how to hunt, how to fight, and everything else that a cat needed to know to be a great warrior. He was always closer to his father than he was with his sister and mother, Goldenflower and Berryheart, and when he passed away, Flickerflame mourned him for a long time. He has many neices and nephews from Goldenflower's two litters of kits. He doesn't know about the existence of the newest litter of kits, however.
Mentor/Apprentice: No preference
Appearance: Flickerflame
Ginger and gold bengal tom with dark rust-colored markings. His muzzle and underbelly are white and he has clear yellow-green eyes. He is a very handsome cat.
Personality: Nervous, cautious, fearful, wary, and always guilty. Flickerflame once was a proud cat, ambitious and a bit arrogant, but his attitude changed after several things that happened to him. He lost all his ambition and now just wants to be a normal warrior and to be safe with his clan. He is a very fearful cat, always one to glance behind his back to make sure that no one's coming for him. He is afraid of life in general, and does not trust his clan or even those closest to him. He just cannot get himself to trust other cats. He is not mean at all, and is actually quite loving, but he's definitely got some issues. He needs someone to be there for him to tell him that everything will be okay. He does not believe that this will ever happen though, because he thinks that he's worthless. Flickerflame has made his share of bad decisions in the past and hates himself for them. When something bad happens, he ususally comes up with some way to blame himself.
Other (History):
Flickerflame became a warrior at the normal time and his life was very average for awhile. He did what he was told to do by the deputy and leader, and proved to be a good warrior. He was always a good hunter and fighter, and truly believed in the warrior code. He was a firm believer in StarClan.
When Boneface began to court his sister, he thought nothing of it. She always seemed happy with him, and he seemed like he truly loved her. He watched from afar as they fell in love, and always tried to make sure that his sister was being treated okay, even though he wouldn't have been able to do anything if she wasn't. When Goldenflower began to see another cat, he knew. Even watching from afar, he could see the difference in the way his sister acted. He never said anything to Boneface though, and never noticed the abuse that started since it all happened behind closed doors.
Then Goldenflower came to him in the middle of the night and told him all about her plan to leave with her kits for GaleClan. He was angry with her. He tried to convince his sister to stay, the one cat that he had cared for since birth, the cat who his father had told him to protect when he was gone. She did not listen to him. He knew that there was only one way to make sure Goldenflower stayed in HawkClan: He would have to tell Boneface of her plan.
It was the largest mistake of his life, and he still regrets it to this day. When he told Boneface, the tom blocked her way into the nursery so that she could not get to the kits. Goldenflower fought against him, and Boneface nearly killed her. Flickerflame was forced to watch as his sister was knocked to the side time and time again, and was given new wounds every time she tried to enter the nursery. It broke him. When she finally ran away, bleeding heavily, he knew it was his fault if she died. And he knew that it was his fault if the kits ended up being killed as well.
He still doesn't know if Goldenflower made it, but he has been forced to watch from afar as her kits are abused constantly in Boneface and Badgerclaw's mad attempt to create the perfect warriors. He has avoided Boneface as much as possible since that day, and avoids the kits as well. Yet he still feels the guilt, and cannot forget that it is his fault the kits are suffering as they are and it is his fault that his sister may be dead. He knows that it is all his fault, and hates himself for his stupid decisions.
Name: Crowpaw Age: 8 moons Sex: male Affiliation: GaleClan Rank: apprentice Family: Most of Crowpaw's family is gone now, with the exception of his sibling(s). His mother ran off to RockClan moons ago, and his father recently disappeared. When she was still with them, Goldenflower was the only cat that Crowpaw truly trusted. He would confide to her about things that he would not so much as think about around other cats, and she always knew how to make him feel better. He hated to see the way his father mistreated her though, and tried in vain several times to protect her. When she left them he was angry at first, but knew that the decision was probably best for her. He, like the rest of the family and most of the clan, had no idea that she was pregnant with another litter of kits. Mentor/Apprentice: No preference Appearance: Crowpaw Plain dark gray tom with light green eyes. He has long legs, large ears, and a long tail. He is lithe, thin, and very quick on his feet. Personality: Energetic, helpful, loyal, and happy most of the time. Crowpaw never seems to tire, no matter how hard things get or how little he is running on. He almost never complains, and doesn't even seem to respond to insults. He is a very active, physical cat, and seems to almost never be in camp. He patrols almost constantly, with short breaks for rest and food. He is more of a hunter and patroller than a fighter, but if caught in a confrontation, he is able to fight just as well as any other cat. He is a slight pacifist though, and prefers to talk when a problem arises rather than going in for the kill. He is fairly intelligent, but not overly so, and can be charming when he wants to be. He is an optimist by nature, and tends to see the positive side of life rather than the negative. He has a strong belief that all cats are equal and abides the warrior code as much as he possibly can. In general, he is very much like his mother was before Boneface began to abuse her. Other: Wouldn't mind a mate or friend(s) for him.
Name: Pinepaw Age: 11 moons Sex: male Affiliation: GaleClan Rank: apprentice Family: Pinepaw has no living family, as far as he knows. He never knew his father, and his mother died of greencough just after he became an apprentice. He does have a half sister, named Ebony, but does not know about her relation to him. Mentor/Apprentice: No preference Appearance: Pinepaw White tom with slate gray fur covering his back, tail, some parts of his legs, and his face. He also has light ginger splotches on his face, neck, back, and tail. His muzzle and nose are white and he has a small pink nose. Dark amber eyes. Personality: Extremely curious, a learner, a bit naive, and quite the adventurer. Pinepaw loves to learn, talk, and ask questions. He is one to stick his head exactly where it doesn't belong and deal with the consequences later. He's pretty friendly, very talkative, and has a charisma that often makes other cats want to follow him on his adventures. This is how he makes friends; by getting them to do exactly what they shouldn't be doing by his side. Pinepaw doesn't do what he does because he's immature, he just hasn't quite learned to control his curiosity. This makes him seem like a trouble maker at times, but really, he just does it because he can't stand being left out of the action. He is sweet, kind, loving and loyal. Other: None
RockClan
Name:Stonestar
Age: 40 moons
Sex: male
Affiliation: RockClan
Rank: leader
Family: Shortly after he was born, greencough swept through the RockClan camp, taking many lives with it. Stonestar, then Stonekit, was the only kit out of a litter of three that survived the illness. He was very close to his mother and father and learned much about the warrior code from both of them. His father died in battle when he was an apprentice, and his mother died twenty moons later, as an elder. He has no living family.
Appearence: Stonestar
Pale gray tabby tom with leaf-green eyes.
Personality: Calm, friendly, charismatic, and responsible. Stonestar is a very good leader, always doing what he needs to do and usually making a few friends along the way. He is a very likable cat, because of his natural charm and general positive air, so he doesn't have a whole lot of enemies within his clan. However, Stonestar has a very strong set of morals, which he abides by at all times. He refuses to do anything that breaks his own "moral code" which includes a strong belief in StarClan and a belief that battle is never a necessity. He is a pacifist, and would much rather work out problems with words rather than claws. He is a talented fighter, as well as hunter, but absolutely cannot stand the thought of killing or maiming other cats to solve tensions. However, he will lead his clan into battle just as well as any other leader if he has a good reason to. Stonestar is wise and calm, loving and loyal, charming and friendly.
Other: Wouldn't mind siblings and/or friends or even maybe a love interest
Name:Tawnypaw Age: 10 moons Sex: Female Affiliation: RockClan Rank: medicine cat apprentice Family: Her mother is Russetfang and her only littermate is Riverpaw. She doesn't know who her father is, and is curious about it, but is too afraid of her mother to ask. She knows that Russetfang would probably never tell even if she did. Mentor/Apprentice: Halfwind Appearance:Tawnypaw Thick-furred calico she-cat with dark amber eyes. Her face is mostly black, with some ginger marbling at the back of her skull and on her ears, and her muzzle is white as snow. Her neck is covered in ginger fur, and her chest is white, as are all of her paws. On her left front leg are some ginger splotches, and some smaller ginger patches can be found on her back and tail. She has a small pink nose. Personality: Tawnypaw always has been a kind, caring cat, always one to try and help others when it's possible. She cares very much for her Clanmates, and does everything in her power to help them when she can. She also has a temper though, and will gladly let someone know if they're being a complete mousebrain. She is good at healing, and knows that it is the path for her, no matter what anyone else says or does. She is determined and stubborn, and once she has decided how she wants to do something, it is extremely hard to change her mind. She strives to be the best medicine cat she can be. Other: None
Name: Russetfang Age: 52 moons Sex: female Affiliation: RockClan Rank: warrior Family: Russetfang was very close to her mother growing up, and when she died of greencough when Russetfang was a newly named warrior, Russetfang mourned her silently for several moons. Her mother taught her to be a warrior in her own ways, and made Russetfang into the cat she is today. As an apprentice she met a cat from GaleClan named Badgertooth, whom she later fell in love with and eventually had two litters of kits with. Badgertooth never got to know his kits though. He was murdered by Fox, the Queen of the Vipers, and Russetfang's former best friend and rival. Afterwards Russetfang began to hate Fox more than she ever had before, and has not forgiven her to this day. Her kits Morningblossom, Ravensong, Darkshade, Riverpaw, and Tawnypaw are all his though, and she secretly misses him every day. Mentor/Apprentice:[/u] No preference [b]Appearance: ]Russetfang Beautiful russet-colored she-cat with dark markings around alluring amber eyes. On her legs and tail are dark red stripes, the same color as the ones framing her eyes. She has a white splash of fur on her chest, muzzle, and across the bridge of her nose. Her paws are also white. Personality: Selfish, headstrong, power-hungry, intelligent, sarcastic, arrogant, and rude. Russetfang is a very independant cat, and always does what she wants even if it may not be wise. She is a very confident cat, and believes that she has the potential to do just about anything. Ever since she was a kit she has been striving to be the best warrior she can be (although she doesn't care much at all for the warrior code) and still hopes to be a leader someday. To get on Russetfang's bad side is an extremely dangerous thing to do, and any cat who does so can expect to know it. She does not hide the fact that she dislikes certain cats, and rather, she will openly admit it. Russetfang is not scared to kill, torture, or do any mixture of the two. She does what she must, and has no regret. She is a very intelligent cat, and tends to use manipulation and charisma to get what she wants. She knows that she is beautiful and that her looks have attracted many a tom, and uses this to her advantage. Often, she will mate with a tom just to gain his loyalty and trust. She never was a kind cat by any means, but she can be. It is just extremely hard to get her to like you, and she has trust issues because of events that happened long ago. Russetfang is unpredictable, mean, tough, and cold to most cats. Other: wouldn't mind a love interest if anyone has a cat crazy enough to like her. ;p She would definitely be hard to get!
Name: Darkshade Age: 19 moons Sex: female Affiliation: RockClan Rank: warrior Family: She's always been very close to her mother, Russetfang, who taught her everything she knows about being a warrior. She doesn't get along with her littermates, Ravensong and Morningblossom, though. She thinks she's better than them because of the special treatment her mother gives her. She doesn't really know her two younger sisters, Riverpaw and Tawnypaw. She has no idea who her father is, and when pressed, her mother refuses to talk about it. Mentor/Apprentice: No preference Appearance:Darkshade Cream-colored siamese she-cat with a dark brownish-black face, paws, and tail. Has strange blue eyes. Personality: Very much like her mother, Russetfang, Darkshade is a bit selfish and rude, as well as very power-hungry and intelligent. Darkshade has looked up to her mother as her role-model since she was no more than a kit, and if her mother has a belief, this she-cat is sure to back her up. She is every bit as bloodthirsty as her mother, and if she becomes the next leader, it can be expected that she will rule very much like her mother would. The two are nearly identical in personality, and are extremely close. She has charisma, good looks, and a manipulative nature, which makes her just as dangerous as the infamous Russetfang. She treats all other cats with disdain, unless she is trying to get something from them. However, she has gained some of the kindness and friendliness that Badgertooth had, and knows that some of what her and her mother do is wrong. It is hard to reach this part of Darkshade, but it is still there. Her mother also intimidates her at times, and she is secretly terrified of disappointing her and the wrath that might follow. Other: Wouldn't mind a couple friends
Name: Morningblossom Age: 23 moons Sex: female Affiliation: RockClan Rank: warrior Family: Her mother, Russetfang, has hated her for as long as she can remember, and she never knew her father. Her sister, Darkshade, also seems to dislike her. Ravensong, her other littermate, is the closest thing she has to a best friend and the two of them are together most of the time. She also gets along well with her younger sisters, Riverpaw and Tawnypaw, but doesn't know them very well. Mentor/Apprentice: No preference Appearance: Morningblossom Pretty plain cream she-cat with some light ginger markings on her face, back, and paws. She has bright green eyes. Personality: Kind and caring, Morningblossom is the complete opposite of her sister, Darkshade. She is deeply loyal to StarClan and the warrior code, and would never even consider speaking ill of her warrior ancestors. Morningblossom's dream has always been to be a queen someday and raise kits, but she needs the right tom to turn up before she can do that. She is a romantic cat and a dreamer, and is very imaginative. She is also very positive, and refuses to give up on her dreams of finding the right tom for her. Morningblossom is a very loving cat, and also is very understanding and has very acute senses of intuition and empathy. She seems to always know what to say to make a cat feel better when they're down, or when to give an apprentice a push when they need it. Other: Looking for a possible mate?
Name: Ravensong Age: 23 moons Sex: female Affiliation: RockClan Rank: warrior Family: Her mother, Russetfang, has hated her for as long as she can remember, and she never knew her father. Her sister, Darkshade, also seems to dislike her. Morningblossom, her other littermate, is the closest thing she has to a best friend and the two of them are together most of the time. She also gets along well with her younger sisters, Riverpaw and Tawnypaw, but doesn't know them very well. Mentor/Apprentice: No preference Appearance: Ravensong Plain black she-cat with long, luscious fur and deep green eyes. Looks very much like her father, Badgertooth. Personality: Hesitant, quiet, confused, and aloof. Ravensong never was the best warrior, and still has trouble managing all her duties now. She is not one to leap into action, and instead prefers to step out of the spotlight and watch from afar. She will defend her Clanmates, especially those close to her, with her life, but she will not do so unless it is absolutely necessary. Ravensong is fiercely loyal once she becomes close to someone, and will come out of her shell to object to anything bad said about her closest friends and family. Sometimes her devotion is too much though. Even those that abuse her will find themselves being protected by her, such as her mother and younger sister, Darkshade. It is nearly impossible to get Ravensong to dislike someone, but she is not naive enough to not know when someone else hates her. When this happens she becomes fearful and hesitant around the cat, but still will defend as much as any other if she really does like them. Ravensong has many confidence issues, mostly because of her mother, and almost never stands up for herself. She does not like confrontation and avoids it at all costs. Ravensong is secretly very lonely and thinks herself worthless, but she doesn't talk about it often. Like her sister, she yearns for someone to love. Other: Looking for a mate!
Name:Goldenflower Age: 40 moons Sex: female Affiliation: RockClan Rank: Queen Family: She was very close to her mother and father growing up, and was depressed for quite awhile when they both were killed by a dog while out on a patrol. During this time she met Boneface, whom she soon fell in love with, and even had two litters of kits with. Her first litter of kits has been split up; Adderpaw and Crowpaw are still living in GaleClan, while Clover was taken to the Vipers with her father. She also has another litter of kits that hasn't yet been born. Her brother, Flickerflame, is also living in GaleClan. The two of them were never very close though and they haven't talked in moons. Mentor/Apprentice: none Appearance: Goldenflower Beautiful golden bengal she-cat with brilliant green eyes. She has brown markings that go from dusty in color to almost black, and range from stripes to splotches to speckles. Her muzzle and stomach are white. She has several scars on her body, but they don't mar her nearly perfect appearence. If anything, they add to her beauty. Personality: Tough, closed, mysterious, and unpredictable. Goldenflower was once a nice cat, but after many abusive episodes in her past, her personality changed drastically. She is still a nice cat at times and to certain cats, but not always. Her moods change by the moment, and she gives almost no warning before her mood switches entirely. She can be cold and cruel, but she can also be loving and kind. She is a very wary cat now, and has many trust issues, so it is hard to befriend her. She is a very tough cat, and extremely defensive of herself and her kits. She is a warrior at heart, and is determined to do what is best for her clan, but her experiences in life have been too severe for her to be able to overcome entirely. She is secretly very fearful of other cats, especially males, and hides that by making herself seem cold, distant, and cruel at times. She can still be loving around some though. She is very hard to understand. Few know why she is the way she is. Other(History): After the deaths of her parents she lapsed into a depression for awhile, and she didn't pull out of it until she met Boneface. To her, he was handsome, strong, loving, and a wonderful mate. She soon fell in love with him and they had their first litter of kits. They were happy, and she truly thought he loved her, and she loved him back. Then things started to change. She met another tom (Anyone want to play him?). She also fell in love with him. For a few moons everything was fine. She stayed with her kits in the daytime and met the tom by the border come nightfall. Then things changed. Boneface became wary, worried, and paranoid. He forced himself upon her on multiple occassions, and also began to obsessively train her kits. He began to call her mean things, to tell her that without him she was nothing, and threatened her life many times. This went on for many moons, and each day seemed to get worse. When she realized that she was pregnant again, Goldenflower decided that she had to do something to get herself and her kits out. She formulated a plan with the tom where she would meet him by the border, and together they would each carry a kit and run. Just as she was heading for the nursery to get the kits, Boneface blocked her way. He knew what she was doing. Goldenflower tried to fight him to get to her kits, but eventually realized that she could not save both herself and her kits. She was forced to run away, and eventually reached RockClan. She nearly died that night, but with the help of the medicine cat at the time, she survived. But while the physical wounds have mostly healed, Goldenflower is still scarred by her relationship with Boneface. She is now scared of most males and other cats in general, is left with trust issues, and still feels extremely guilty about leaving her kits behind. (Anyone want to play her new mate?)
Name:Waspkit Age: to be born Sex: female Affiliation: RockClan Rank: Kit Family: Goldenflower - mother, Bone - father, Adderpaw, Crowpaw, Clover, MInnowkit, Applekit - siblings Appearance: Waspkit Waspkit looks nearly identical to her father, Bone; a fact that her mother will never let her forget. Her pelt is a light shade of silver with some darker gray, almost black, markings. Her eyes are the same shade of blue as her father's. Personality: Hyper, friendly, enthusiastic, curious, and a little obnoxious. Waspkit is the type of cat that does what she wants to do when she wants and worries about consequences later. She is a very friendly cat, always trying to get into everyone else's business, and this makes her quite a nuisance to some cats. She is a handful to say the least! She loves her clan, her family, and pretty much everyone else. It is very hard to get her to dislike someone, partially because she is too naive to pick up that they don't like her and also partially because she tends to forget that she did something to offend someone. Waspkit can be pretty flighty and a bit absent-minded, but she is also a quick learner and has plenty of enthusiasm. Other: Looking for 2 littermates, preferably female.
Name: Applekit Age: to be born Sex: female Affiliation: RockClan Rank: Kit Family: Goldenflower - mother, Bone - father, Adderpaw, Crowpaw, Clover, Waspkit, Minnowkit - siblings Appearance: Applekit Cream and light orange she-kit. She has dark green eyes with some brown flecks in them. Her nose is pink like her sister's and she is the smallest kit in the litter. Personality: Applekit is very quiet, shy, and timid. She doesn't normally speak out against other cats, regardless of whether she agrees with what they're doing or saying. She is easily taken advantage of because of how timid she is, and is often pushed around by her littermates. She is very trusting of other cats, but also very naive. She only sees the good in others, not the bad. She loves to help others and is selfless to a fault. Other:None
The Vipers
Name:Kestrel
Age: 53 moons
Sex: male
Affiliation: Viper
Rank: Healer
Family: Kestrel's sister is Fox, Queen of the Vipers, who he's been very close to all his life. Fox's children are his neices and nephews. He doesn't know many of them though.
Mentor/Apprentice: No preference
Appearance: Kestrel
Thin, lithe plain cream siamese tom with a light tan face, ears, and tailtip. He has odd, wide green eyes and long whiskers.
Personality: Lively, odd, awkward, intelligent, and absentminded. Kestrelmoon is a very unique cat to put it lightly. He is extremely awkward socially, and even more awkward physically. His movements are odd and jerky, which was part of the reason that he chose to become a healer. That coupled with his immense knowledge of small details made him the perfect candidate to be a medicine cat, despite his gender. Kestrelmoon is not good at all with social situations and gossip, yet he knows nearly all there is to know about small details having to do with clan life. He can explain and treat even the most rare illnesses, tell any cat exactly what kinds of prey are in the forest, explain the importance of any type of herbs, tree, or shrub, and tell a cat exactly how to execute a battle move. Yet, he is terrible at hunting and even worse at actual fighting. He knows information, but has a difficult time with executing it. In conversation he is strange to talk to, and easy to distract. He does strange things and says strange things. He tends to blurt out random facts in normal conversation, facts that no other cats understands at all. This makes him pretty distanced from other cats, but if one had the patience, they would discover that he is supremely innocent and naive of the natures of other cats, as well as friendly and a bit of a jokester.
Other: None
Name: Bone Age: 47 moons Sex: male Affiliation: Viper Rank: Commander Family: Bone grew up in GaleClan, and had a good life in his clan. His father disappeared when he was a kit and was never seen again, but it was not something that Bone worried about much. He met Goldenflower when he was a newly named warrior and was shocked by her beauty. He realised that he wanted her for himself, as his mate, and the mother of his kits. He began to court her and she seemed to welcome his advances. They soon became mates, and she gave birth to three kits, two toms that he named Adderkit and Crowkit, and a she-kit she named Cloverkit. He doesn't know about the existence of Goldenflower's newest litter of kits. Mentor/Apprentice: No preference Appearance: Bone Large, intimidating white tom with jet-black tabby stripes and icy blue eyes. He has a black nose instead of the normal pink. Personality: Cold and calculating, Boneface can be quite a mystery to other cats. He always thinks about his actions before he executes them, and his motives for what he says and does are never clear to others. He also is very selfish, and if he is doing another cat a favor, it can be expected that he will gain from doing so, perhaps more than the cat who is being helped. He will not hesitate to spill blood, although he does avoid doing so obviously. He wouldn't want to stain his white pelt with blood, after all. A master at manipulation and fear, he considers himself an equal to his leader, and perhaps even better than him. He is an ambitious cat and yearns for power. To all others, he just seems reserved and heartless. He never was a nice cat, but he became noticeably more cruel after a certain point in his life. Other (History): Bone was born to a loving family. When he was just a kit, his father disappeared and was never seen again, but his mother loved him very much. Him and his brother always stayed together and were very close growing up. They still are. Bone flew through his apprenticeship with ease, proving to be a very good battler and a decent hunter. He received his name at the average time, along with his brother. Then he met Goldenflower. He never would admit it, but she was the most beautiful she-cat he had ever seen. As soon as he saw her, he knew that he had to have her for his mate. He began to court her. She seemed to take his advances gladly, and she fell in love with him just as he planned. Boneface's relationship with Goldenflower was fine at first, and when she gave birth to two toms he took them under his wing and started to train them early so that they could one day become fantastic warrior.It wasn't until Goldenflower began to express interest in another tom that the abuse started to become more severe. Goldenflower never was good at hiding her thoughts and emotions, so Boneface was able to pick up that something was wrong shortly after Goldenflower began to see the other tom. As soon as he realized that she might leave him, he became incredibly angry and secretly very scared. He was deeply in love with her by that time, and was afraid that she would leave him. He began to abuse Goldenflower so that she would be afraid to leave the clan. His plan worked for awhile, but she eventually decided to leave after all. He was told before she did by another warrior, a tom named Flickerflame, who turned out to be Goldenflower's brother. He told him that Goldenflower had just come to him telling him that she was leaving to start a better life in RockClanwith her kits. Boneface thanked the tom and left to block Goldenflower's way into the nursery so that she would not be able to take her kits with her. After a fight in which he nearly killed her, he was surprised when she ran off without taking them with her. That was when he panicked. When his brother next visited GaleClan, his clan of residence at the time,Boneface told him all about Goldenflower, his feelings towards her, and what had just happened. At that moment, he realized that nothing could be done to get Goldenflower back now. With Badgerclaw as his comrade and Pinefall as an extra helper, he began to intensify the training he gave his two sons. He is determined to make Goldenflower regret leaving him and her family behind, and will be sure that his sons become incredible warriors someday.
Name: Midnight Age: 24 moons Sex: female Affiliation: Viper Rank: Novice Family: She was a kittypet all her life until just a few moons ago, when she ventured into the forest and eventually found the Vipers. She was originally looking for her prospective mate, Skylark, a cat from one of the clans that she was hoping to start a life with. She has not managed to find him though. Her sister and nephew, Twinkle and Champ, are still living in their cabin on the edge of the forest. Appearance: Midnight Small, lithe plain black she-cat with a short tail and green eyes. Personality: Snippy, hot-headed, immature, and a bit rude, Midnight can be a hard cat to deal with. She doesn't give praise often, and rarely says anything nice to anybody. She does not mean to be rude, antisocial, or mean, it's just part of her personality. She's learning though. With cats she knows well and loves she is kind, fiercely loyal and even more protective. Because of her history as a former kittypet, she is extremely insecure and unsure of herself. She cares very much for her Clanmates, but fears that they do not feel the same way. Other: Friends with Nebula. Wouldn't mind a mate.
Name: Thorn Age: 9 moons Sex: male Affiliation: Viper Rank: Novice Family: Thorn was born a viper. As the son of the two leaders of the group, Fox and Fang, his life has been pretty privileged. He's always been given just about anything he wanted, and is a bit of a spoiled brat because of it. Shortly after being born he was chosen as the next heir to the leadership of the Vipers, and has been training with his parents so that he might be a great leader someday. Appearance: Thorn Large, burly thick-furred silver-gray tom with some black and white markings. His eyes are a dark amber. Personality: Thorn has been spoiled all his life, and it really shows in his personality. He is extremely arrogant, and very confident. He's not an especially mean cat; he has a certain charm about him that makes him a good candidate for leadership in the future, and many cats seem to like him well enough. He rarely lies unless he feels that he must or is told to, and sometimes that makes him come across as blunt. He can be bloodthirsty, but not necessarily because he wants to be. All his life he's been taught to be a fighter, to not hesitate to spill blood, and he doesn't really know any other way. He loves and trusts his parents to a fault and would lay down his life for the good of the Vipers. If a cat could get beneath his tough exterior, they'd be surprised at what they'd find inside. Other: None
StarClan
Names: Flameclaw and Berryheart
Age: 45 and 43 moons at death
Sexes: male and female
Affiliation: StarClan (Formerly GaleClan)
Ranks: Warriors
Family: Flameclaw and Berryheart were mates while living. They had two kits, Goldenkit and Flickerkit, who they cared for very much and tried to raise together. Crowpaw, Adderpaw, Clover, Waspkit, Minnowkit, and Applekit are their grandchildren.
Appearances: Flameclaw (top) and Berryheart (bottom)
Like their children after them, both Flameclaw and Berryheart were bengals. Flameclaw was larger than Berryheart though, his nose was pinker, and he had darker bengal markings. His fur also had an orange tint to it, whereas hers was closer to gold. Berryheart was smaller, lighter colored, and her markings looked more like leopard print than the darker spots her mate had. Both cats had nearly identical green eyes.
Personalities: Flameclaw was a fantastic warrior during his life, and was one of the best fighters and hunters in the clan. Had he not died so young, he might have become a deputy someday. Flameclaw believed strongly in the warrior code and StarClan, and never faltered in his loyalty to his ancestors for a moment. He was also a very loving cat and would have gladly given his life for his clan and family. In the end he did just that, giving his own life to kill a dog that had wandered into GaleClan's territory.
Berryheart never was quite as good a warrior as her mate was while living, but she made up for it with her loyalty towards her clan and StarClan. She always tried her best to help her clan however she could, despite not being the best fighter or hunter, and often would stay up all night hunting or patrolling to make sure her clan got through the next day. When it was time for her to bring new kits into the clan she happily did what was expected of her and proved to be a fantastic mother. In the end she gave the ultimate sacrifice for her clan, giving her life to help her mate kill a dog they found on GaleClan's territory.
Other: None
Dark Skies
Name: Cinderflare
Age: 50 moons at death
Sex: female
Affiliation: Dark Skies (Formerly RockClan)
Rank: Warrior
Family: Cinderflare gave birth to three kits, but of the three, only one survived when greencough (the same disease that would later take her own life) swept through the camp shortly after she gave birth. That kit she named Russetkit, after her bright red fur that looked so similar to her own. Cinderflare taught her daughter much of what she knows today. It was Cinderflare that made the strong cat that Russetfang is today, not her mentor or her peers. Russetfang's kits, Darkshade, Morningblossom, Ravensong, Riverpaw, and Tawnypaw, are her grandchildren.
Appearance: Cinderflare
Beautiful russet-colored she-cat with a white muzzle and paws. She has some darker red and black markings on the top of her head and along her back. Her eyes are dark green with some amber flecks in them. She looks very similar to her daughter, Russetfang.
Personality: Cinderflare's personality was very similar to her daughter's. She was manipulative, hot-headed, self-serving, power-hungry, intelligent, strong-willed... Everything that Russetfang is today. Cinderflare was never a very well-liked cat during her lifetime, but she made up for it with her hunting and fighting prowess. The entire clan was shocked when greencough took her life shortly after Russetfang earned her warrior name; Cinderflare is still angry that she didn't die fighting like she wanted to.
Other: None
Name: Badgertooth Age: 40 moons at death Sex: male Affiliation: Dark Skies (Formerly RockClan) Rank: Warrior Family: Badgertooth's only living family is his former mate, Russetfang, and all their kits. His siblings and parents all died when he was very young. Appearance: Large, burly long-haired black and grey tom with three white stripes down his back. He had dark green eyes. His daughter, Ravensong, looks similar to how he looked in his prime. Personality: Badgertooth was a very easy cat to manipulate. He trusted other cats to a fault and was willing to do just about anything they wanted him to do. In the end, this was his downfall; he put his trust in the wrong cat, which later led to his murder. He was very loyal and would have put his life on the line to protect the cats he cared for most. He was not an overly intelligent cat, and he was not overly mean either. He simply trusted others blindly, and never was very good at seeing the intentions behind their actions. Other: He was murdered by Fox, the Queen of the Vipers
Others
Name: Twinkle
Age: 24 moons
Sex: female
Affiliation: None
Rank: Kittypet
Family: She's always been very close to her sister, Midnight, who recently left for the forest. She also has a son, named Champ.
Appearance: Twinkle
Long-furred grey and tan mottled she-cat. Has a cream underbelly, paws, and muzzle. Her back and tail are a darker grey than the rest of her body, almost black. She has pretty green eyes.
Personality: Sweet, lovable, carefree, and friendly. Longfur is a very likable cat, and is just about the opposite of her sister, Midnight. She cares very much about others, and will do anything she can to help her friends and family. She is quite naive and oblivious, but it doesn't seem to bother her at all. She is a very happy cat in general, and is very content with her simple kittypet lifestyle.
Other: Anyone want to play her mate/ the father of Champ?
All the stuff on your skellies looked good. Let me know if my ages, etc. need to be changed or anything. Skellies woop woop! I have several requests, the most important of which is a male mate for Goldenflower.

[font=Cambria]
Ahhhh, sorry I vanished for like a week, college decided to smack me in the face with a ton of homework, and I got sick on top of that, so I really wasn't up to giving this much attention. I'm all better now though, and I'll be done with all that work tonight, so I believe I'll be starting this tomorrow. I've also been waiting for to post her kitties, but she seems to have poofed...
