The Alliance Begins (TC & RC RPG)

First topic message reminder :

Role Play Plot & Background Information:

Background: Many moons ago, there was a drought that plagued the territories. All of the clans were suffering from the lack of water, including the members of Riverclan that usually thrived in year round with their supply of fish from the rivers. Over time, it became warmer and warmer until Thunderclan's territory became engulfed in a massive fire that destroyed their home and devastated the last of their food supplies. For a short period of time, the other clans helped Thunderclan by supplying them with whatever food and herbs they could spare, but as more time passed, the other clans were no longer able to support Thunderclan's needs. In one final effort to save the remaining members of her clan, their leader led them away from the territories to find a new home where they could thrive.

Plot: Not long after Thunderclan fled their territory, Riverclan's members began falling victim to a mysterious illness that they have not seem before. After losing several elders, kits and an apprentice, Streamstar hears a rumor at a gathering about how Thunderclan has left their territory and may have a herb that could save Riverclan from this illness. Now they are facing a badger infestation and they don't have enough healthy warriors to take on both tasks alone. Finally it is announced that Riverclan will set off in search of Thunderclan in hopes of gaining their help in saving Riverclan.

My RPG Character(s):

Username: Snowlily
Character's Name: Snowstar
Clan/Rank: Thunderclan Leader
Age (moons): 34 moons
Gender: She-cat
Mate/Kits: None
Mentor/Apprentice: Milkypaw
Personality: She is a highly rational warrior with a relatively calm demeanor or personality. Snowstar is sometimes very competitive, but she knows when to draw the line. She is incredibly understanding and compassionate with her clan mates, and those who are close to her. She is naturally very humble with a fierce loyalty to whatever she considers her own or to her friends.
Appearance/Picture: Snowstar is an average size, short haired she-cat. Her pelt is a mottled chocolate color resulting in large chocolate spots that are outlined in a soft cream color. This pattern continues down her back and the majority of her flank, while the remainder of her legs, underbelly, chest and muzzle are white. Her ears are white ticked and she has no tabby markings. Her eyes are a deep blue with a large portion or green intertwining itself within, causing them to come out as a pretty teal color. She has a soft pink nose and long whiskers; as we'll as small paws and a long tail in proportion to her body. Her claws are razor sharp but the sharks teeth were abandoned when she decided to leave Iceclan.

Snowstar:

Username:Snowlily
Character's Name: Swiftstorm
Clan/Rank: Thunderclan Warrior
Age (moons): 32 moons
Gender: Tom
Mate/Kits: None
Mentor/Apprentice: None
Personality: Swiftstorm is very reserved and suspicious of those whom he isn't familiar with. He is very wary of around outsiders, but he will not show any fear or hesitation outwardly. He is independent though is willing to help others out if need be and is borderline, overly outspoken around his clan mates. Despite the front he prefers to put up around others, those who know him best would say he is very dependable and loyal to those close to him and Thunderclan.
Appearance/Picture: Swiftstorm is a largely built, muscular tom. He is well above average size with a thick, medium-length grey coat covered in slightly darker grey tabby markings, particularly around the face and legs. His eyes are a piercing yellow and his claws are razor sharp. The name come from his natural agility and the color of his pelt which seemed to mimic the color of the cloud before a storm would strike. He is a skilled hunter and fighter but is not known to be the most graceful jumper or climber.

Swiftstorm:

Username: Snowlily
Character's Name: Roseleaf
Clan/Rank: Thunderclan Warrior
Age (moons): 18 moons
Gender: She-cat
Mate/Kits: Has a crush on Bluenose
Mentor/Apprentice: None
Personality: Roseleaf is a very determined warrior and has a persistence that is not easily matched. If there is something she wants, she will go after it without any hesitation. It takes a while for this feisty she-cat to warm up to others, but once she does her loyalty will not be broken easily. Naturally, she is very timid and quiet around those she doesn't know well or hasn't met before. The only known exception is Bluenose, who she still has trouble speaking to at times when a situation doesn't necessarily demand it. Once Roseleaf is close to someone though, she becomes very open and affectionate. Her biggest flaw is that she hates to be ordered around and being told what to do.
Appearance/Picture: Roseleaf is an average sized, petite, short-haired, she-cat. Her pelt is silky and in general is a light brown, but when she is in the sunlight and it hits it, it will appear to turn red. Her whole body is covered in black and dark brown tabby markings that give her the traditional "wild cat" appearance. Her pelt fades to a soft white around her chest and muzzle and her eyes are a captivating green that tends to draw a lot of extra attention. All of the major features on her face and flank are outlined or accented by her tabby markings givine her a very unique appearance.

~That picture is cute. Member accepted.~

~thanks~

Shimmerpaw let out a small growl and looked at Ghostfur beside her. "No apprentices out of camp without supervision? What are we, kits?" She hissed. A little less freedom, this was terrible! How was she supposed to have races with Flamepaw anymore? Or go climb trees when she had nothing to do? Now she have to stay in camp, because Snowstar won't allow her to leave without a warrior.

~Honeyshade please don't post anything less than three words or anything that's not necessary ~

Swanpaw struggled. She wanted to help her leader fight but she realized that she was hurt badly from a gash in her side in addition to the weakness that the disease caused. "Be careful," she gasped out and followed Sunbeam back toward the camp.

Echosong was tidying up her den when she heard the yowling far away. It was pretty faint, so the cats must've been on patrol. "Not badgers again?" she muttered and left the other sick cats to investigate. She padded over to the camp entrance and poked her head out, searching for any cat that might've run back for backup, maybe.

~Both characters are accepted. Ill probably add something to this post here shortly. So many posts to make. x)~

(I am in need of an apprentice, I have experience from other sites just not this one, but would love to be a mentor to hurricanepaw if willing to accept my offer)
Dawnpool was sitting near the middle of the group that had gathered for the announcement silently and thoughtful 'what else could be out there for us now besides badgers and foxes and snakes?' she thought absent mindedly. As snowstar continued her interest peeked as her leader made the announcement for the kits that were way over due for their ceremonies. she sat up straighter and peeked over the heads of the cats in front of her and she noticed flamepaw receive his apprentice name. She shook out her groomed pelt so it would lie flat once more and flicked a paw over her ear as she awaited for the next kit to be named as an apprentice.

Clan/Rank: ThunderClan warrior
Age (moons): 16
Gender: Male
Mate/Kits: Not really
Mentor/Apprentice: No
Personality: Intelligent, kind, aring, witty, thoughtful, and highly sarcastic ehen angry
Appearance/Picture: My profile pic/avatar thingy.

Ace sat outside the group of clan cats. He still didn't feel like he fit in with them. He started out a rogue at the beginning of the journey to the clans new home but even though he came to think of them as his family, he still felt like the outcast. He didn't really understand their traditions. What was the point in a ceremony? It just means you are old enough to fight and die? He hated all of the fighting in the past. He felt like a hypocrite since he was sure that if it came down to it he would kill or die to protect them all too. But the tom kept his thoughts to himself and watched the ceremony continue.

Milkypaw had been tired from the long patrol, and it had also been a shock to see the snake attack Lightningstorm. She listened as best as she could to Snowstar's announcement, trying to keep up with everything she said. After she finished, she quickly reviewed everything from the announcement in her head and trotted off to the apprentince ceremony. I must make sure i follow the new rules correctly!Milkypaw kept thinking about the snake, zoning out into a day dream clouding her head with thoughts, and then quickly snapping out of it each time. After shaking her head one last time, she watched as the kits that had their names called trot by. i remember ceremony! she began having flashbacks and daydreams of her ceremony and then quickly snapped out of it.

Dawnpool noticed Ace sitting aside from the others at the meeting looking a bit out of place she couldn't decide on either calling him over to join her or to just let him be. since the day she met him inside thunderclans territory she couldn't get him off her mind, he was a mystery that couldn't be solved and she was curious on why he had accepted her offer to join the clans. she had to convince snowstar for weeks before she agreed that he would be an asset to the clan than a bother. she looked over to him once more and whispered "hey Ace, theres enough room over here for you." She could tell he wasn't interested in the ceremony but she thought that maybe if he could see the pride in each cats face, maybe just maybe, he might feel the same pride and feel more at home.

Blagonet looked on over the crowd of cats watching the clan gain two new apprentices. I remember my apprentice ceremony... he reminisced. He was the only one in his litter, so he had felt not only excited, but nervous. He imagined that the young cats up therenmustt be feeling the same things that he did. He watched Ace walk over and sit down by Dawnpool. I doubt that I'll ever understand that cat, hethought to himself. He then remembered that he should be looking at Snowstar and the new apprentices, and not at the new cat.

~Hopefully, this one is alright with you Lighty. You wanted a mentor for Hurricanepaw and didn't really specify anything else so I just chose someone I think will be active and a good poster for the site. ~

Snowstar spoke out again loudly, "Hurricanekit, you have reached the age of six moons, and it is time for you to be apprenticed. From this day on, until you receive your warrior name, you will be known as Hurricanepaw. Your mentor will be Dawnpool. I hope Dawnpool will pass down all she knows on to you." She finished with a nod. She looked over at Milkypaw, who seemed lost in her own thoughts. Snowstar gave somewhat of a mock laugh that came out sounding like a chuff. "And we have one final and very important announcement to make. After many moons, Redleaf has chosen to take an apprentice. This was no easy choice to make since it takes a very special and very different set of skills and level of commitment. A medicine cat must make many sacrifices throughout their life in service to their clan, and it is a rare thing to find someone willing to make those same sacrifices and commitments in the future generations." She looked at Redleaf and Heatherpaw with a clear affectionate glance. "Redleaf, I will let you do the honors of announcing your decision to the rest of the clan." The snowy-white cat bowed her head to the medicine cat and stepped off to the side, leaving room for Redleaf to jump onto the branch.

Swiftstorm looked around the clearing at all of the cats murmuring amongst themselves. There's not a lot of paying attention going on right now is there?... He overheard Shimmerpaws hiss of annoyance when she heart that apprentices were not going to be allowed to leave the camp without the accompaniment of a warrior. He shot her a sharp glance from his piercing green eyes. "You know, I saw that snake. It was big enough to swallow at least two apprentices alive and Lightningstorm got lucky when it only got ahold of her leg/ It could have choked her until she couldn't breathe or if it was poisonous, she would have died slowly and painfully. There are far scarier things in this forest. And many more dangers than we are used to." He finished with an even but sympathetic stare.

Dawnpool looked up sharply at the news from snowstar not expecting it. she got up her medium length russet and white fur glowing brightly in the sun as she padded up to her new apprentice hurricanepaw and bent down so she could touch noses with hurricanepaw. she purred in delight and to reassure her new apprentice that it was alright and she wasn't anything to be scared of and that she was going to do great. she padded back over to where Ace was and beckoned for her apprentice hurricanepaw as well to come sit by her and to finish watching the ceremony.

"Snowstar has very good reasons for these rules. We don't need our apprentices dying in this rainforest! And if I so much as scent you outside of camp without a warrior escort I'll put you on elder duty for a moon!" Ghostfur quietly warned his apprentice. Even though Shimmerpaw was certainly hyperactive, he was pretty sure she wouldn't do anything too stupid. "Now be quiet! We don't want to interrupt the ceremony!" he added in a nearly silent hiss. Ghostfur quickly followed his own advice and watched the apprentice ceremony in silence, he remembered how excited he had been during his ceremony, and knew these kits would remember this day for the rest of their lives. While watching the ceremony, Ghostfur couldn't help but notice Bluenose still sitting at the edge of the gathered cats, and saw that his brother was glancing over at him and Roseleaf quite often. With a surge of impatience at his brother's indecision, Ghostfur waved Bluenose over while giving him a hard stare.

Bluenose couldn't focus on the ceremony, his mind kept wandering, and landing on Roseleaf. He figured right after an apprentice ceremony would be a good time to talk to her, but couldn't get himself to actually pad over to where she and Ghostfur sat. Bluenose glanced back at his brother and Roseleaf to find that his brother was signaling for him to go join them, and Ghostfur's stare gave a clear message. If I don't go now, he'll make my life miserable until I do. Bluenose thought with a sigh as he got up and walked carefully over to sit by Roseleaf. He glanced over and saw his brother give him a quick approving nod before turning his attention back to the ceremony. Bluenose did the same, not wanting to interrupt, but was fully aware that Roseleaf's pelt was nearly brushing his as he sat there.

He looked over when he heard his name. "Huh...?" He mumbled trying to clear his thoughts and catch up on wheat was happening now. He gathered after a heartbeat that there was ANOTHER ceremony. He looked at Dawnpool and stood up slowly as he made his way over to her when all of a sudden he heard her name called and he stopped half way to taking his new place next to the she-cat. He looked up at the leader and gave a silent sigh as he watched Dawnpool walk away.

Dawnpool had returned to her previous spot along with her apprentice and looked over to Ace and gave him an excited smile and flicked her tail in a signal to come over and join them. she hoped this time he could sit by her. she fluffed out her russet pelt and smoothed it back down again, she licked a paw and ran it over her face as she cleaned her face in embarrassment about thinking of him most of the time. with the last swipe of her paw she wiped away all of the embarrassment and focused on the ceremony until Ace decided he wanted to come over or not.

(That's totally fine with me. :3 Hurricanepaw would be a warrior by now if her accident hadn't happened...just to let you know she's definitely not a newly made apprentice)

Hurricanepaw touched noses with her new mentor, feeling a sense of sadness creep up on her at the thoughts of her old ones. Her first was a large, gruff tom by the name of Falconchaser. He had died a while back in a border fight. Her other was another tom, pure white in fur color with cold blue eyes and a special soft spot only for her seeing as it had been her uncle. His name was Slushfang and he had left along with her parents and littermates to be rogues over night because they hadn't agreed with ThunderClan's nomadic ways. It had been shortly after that when Hurricanepaw had fought that loner, who was actually her older sister. Sadly, Flurry had gotten away and left Hurricanepaw to die. A patrol had luckily found her though. The young cat's recovery was recent and she was determined to throw herself into training without distractions, despite all that was going on around her. She needed to prove that she was worthy of being called a ThunderClanner. The silvery she-cat slowly followed her mentor, gaze roving over Ace warily. Ever since the encounter with Flurry, she had been sort of cautious of those around her, worried that anyone could turn on her any moment. After all, her own kin had with ease...over her not abandoning her Clan.

Lightningstorm listened to Swiftstorm and sighed wit ha soft chuckle. " Makes me feel grateful to be alive. Swiftstorm is right, if I, a fully trained warrior made it out with barely a limp, much worse things are bound to happen to you without supervision. It's because we care for you guys that we're treating you like 'kits'. If you act like one by complaining about it, then it gives us all the more reason to." like Swiftstorm's tone, her's had an underlying sympathy, but her golden eyes were deadly serious. She wouldn't have any young, barely apprenticed cats dropping dead just to prove something stupid to their pals.

Clan/Rank: ThunderClan apprentice
Age (moons): 9 moons
Gender: tom
Mate/Kits: (has a crush on Flamepaw)
Mentor/Apprentice: Needs a mentor!
Personality: bright spirited who hates giving up on things. Likes whatever Flamepaw likes, and always gets in the way of things.
Appearance/Picture: sleek black with green eyes.

~I am so sorry. I didn't realize my apprentice ceremony was being held.~

Flamepaw gave a quick nod. "I do!" she mewed, maybe a little too loudly. Snowstar assigned her a mentor. Rogueblossom, who Flamepaw knew would be her mentor already. Rogueblossom was the deputy. She couldn't help but feel smug about that. But she was still humble. Flamepaw puffed out her chest and caught all her Clanmates' gazes. Flamepaw padded over to Ace and Dawnpool, other ThunderClanners who Flamepaw never got a chance to really say hello to.

MilkyPaw watched the new apprentices touching noses in the ceremony with interest. The flashbacks of her ceremony came and went until finally Thunderstrike walked over to MilkyPaw and sat down, snapping her out of the daydreams. The large Tom watched the small apprentice. "Enjoying the ceremony, I see?" The large Tom chuckled a bit. "It just reminds of my ceremony" Milkypaw's eyes gleamed as she spoke. "Ah yes, ceremonies definately bring back a lot of memories...." The large Tom spoke, flickering his tail every now and then. They both watched as more kits walked down, soon to become apprentices.

Before following her apprentice over to Ace and Dawnpool, Rogueblossom managed to touch noses with Flamepaw and made her way over to sit next to them. "So Ace, since I'm pretty sure you know who I am, Rogueblossom the deputy, how are you finding everything so far?" she asked, hoping that the former rogue felt somewhat closer towards his new clanmates. It was kinda funny to her, the fact that some cats are called rogues since that was the first part of her name. She looked up at the space where Snowstar had made room for Redleaf, who would soon place herself there for Heatherpaw's ceremony.

~Ravenpaw is accepted. If Lightnigstorm would like, she can mentor him though I want to start moving the rpg forward so I don't want to take too long holding it up with apprentice ceremonies for side characters so I am going to skip over his ceremony part and continue on. We'll just pretend he already had one. ~

Roseleaf watched as bluenose approached them with a confused look on her face. I was beginning to think he was avoiding me... She thought to herself as she recalled that he hadn't said a word to her since he snapped at her and Swiftstorm in the forest. Her pelt became ruffled and rose a bit along her flank when he sat so close. Unsure of what to think she shook out her pelt and forced it back into place as she stared at the ceremony taking place ahead. She had to force herself not to look at the warrior though it wasn't without a fair bit of effort.
