For all those who know what Warrior Cats are, congrats. I need your help.

For those who do not, I recommend reading the series, by Erin Hunter. But a basis run down, is that wild cats live in groups and follow a specific moral code to protect their homes and clans. Welcome to the fandom.

I want to set up a Warrior Cats group role play here, with perhaps fur or five OC clans, in a new setting. A valley surrounded by mountains. Isolated from the outside world, these cats would have only each other, and predators that wander into the valley as competition.

I have a few ideas for clans, and cats, but I'd love your input as well. What do you want to see? How do you want to see it? Plot points and ideas? Throw them at me. Let's make a story, my friends.

Colour me interested, gonna follow this and creep around for a while.

Got no specific ideas atm, but I got a fair amount of old WC characters I'd like to blow the dust off of xD Will let you know if I come up with anything to add that seems like a good idea though :)

I'd like to join( SUBBED)

Hm, I've always looked for Warrior Cats RPs. I've got a few OCs here.

I got no ideas for now for worldbuilding, to be honest. I'll say something when I come up with an idea.

@Polaris North@WelcmeToGudBrgr@The Elvenqueen

I've got a few clan ideas I want to run passed you guys. They're pretty basic, and input is highly appreciated.

OakClan, recently formed, make their home in the forest beneath the mountains. The valley is untouched by twolegs, with a single river running it's length and a waterfall in the west. These cats range in talents, though they take naturally to the underbrush and trees of their territory. Proud cats, but kind, these wild cats are. Rivals with BoulderClan, their leader is a cat of great charisma with the fairest mate of them all - their medicine cat. The cats are learning to behave and work together, though some may have issues with other cats, the higher ups encourage them to work things out.

BoulderClan, made of cats who prefer the harsh and rugged look on life. They make their home above the forest floor where they cannot see the jungle beneath them. Their camp is a series of tunnels and caverns inside of their mountain. They hunt mostly birds, and lack the skill to climb trees or hide in underbrush, though they are phenomenal at climbing rocks and going unseen against the stone. They're balance is praised.

AshClan, one of the four across the mountain ridge, makes it's home in a dormant volcano. These cats are resistant to poisonous elements, often coloured in darker pelts and have rather light eyes for wild cats. They're a neutral presence in their home, and make the pines beneath the volcano their territory.

CliffClan, possibly the most accepting of all the clans, live in the forested area of their valley. Their territory is wide and long, their camp in an old quarry abandoned for generations. The closest knit of all the clans they would never turn away a cat in need, even if that cat was an enemy.

LightClan, unlike the others, are brutal in their training. They are Warriors down to the very last fiber. They despise weakness in all it's forms and actively cast out those who are not strong enough to survive. This clan of cats makes it's camp on a small island between rivers, often hunting fish and other predators. Strong swimmers with determination to last them centuries, LightClan will never back down from a fight.

I do realize they're pretty trash lol.

I dont believe that! Maybe I might be Ash clan, and if it's open, I would like to be the leader (DIBS)

@ViolentViolet I don't think they are trash, I really like the sound of BoulderClan actually! Think that one is my favourite haha LightClsn sounds interesting too

Still haven't thought up anything super interesting plot idea wise but I will keep trying and let you know if anything springs up :)

@ViolentViolet

I think they're pretty cool too. Cliffclan and Lightclan strikes the most interest with me. Still interested in making a Medicine Cat for either clans.

Oh, but I do have a question - aren't Medicine Cats supposed to be single for the rest of their lives since they've devoted their being entirely to help other cats and to Starclan? I think that was in one of the Warrior Codes, actually.

Oh, but I do have a question - aren't Medicine Cats supposed to be single for the rest of their lives since they've devoted their being entirely to help other cats and to Starclan? I think that was in one of the Warrior Codes, actually.

I always thought that bit of the code was really silly to be honest...I mean, they're cats, why are there friars/nuns in cat society? haha

Plus, none of the cats in the series ever follow that rule anymore anyways :P

@ViolentViolet Plot wise, a small idea that's probably terrible LOL but I'll throw it out here anyways, what if there was a new and rather virulent disease that appeared in the Clan territories at some point (I dunno...maybe rabies spread through the prey or something? o: ) that force the Clan leaders to agree that the Medicine Cats need to form an alliance together to better find a cure before the disease wipes out all the Clans?
If they had to venture further out of their usual territories perhaps they could take a Warrior escort with them, a few of the best from each Clan, while the ones who are left behind have to avoid hunting the sick prey and try and care for their ill Clanmates without getting sick themselves?

Like I said, probably a rubbish idea but one I had anyways haha

@The Elvenqueen

All too true. But hey, just wanted to know.

Ah, a disease. I kind of like the idea actually. Let's see what the boss thinks about it.

Ohh, I'm glad you don't think it's silly! Hopefully ViolentViolet likes it too, of course we don't know what kind of plot points they've come up with yet either, I'd be interested to see what we've got so far as possibilities :)

Interested!

@ViolentViolet

We could also do an obligatory freak storm that would force at least one of the clans out of their territories for a while until they can recuperate or something. It would be great of internal conflicts to surface, if it ever reaches that point.

Ohh, I like that idea too!

@ViolentViolet

Interested, if at all possible can I be an Ashclan born, but raised within cliffclan.

I was born in ashclan, but in my childhood I got lost and wandered into cliffclan or something like that.

Also, haven't read the books in forever >.>

I have my doubts about whether Ashclan would actually be able to survive...might go with Oakclan though.

My character looks like the reddish cat:



With these markings, which are black on him:



If anyone can find a picture that resembles him, that would be awesome!

@Drakey@ArisenMoon@The Elvenqueen@Canidae@WelcmeToGudBrgr

That's actually so much more interest than I thought I would get. I guess I gotta make this go somewhere soon ^.^ The five clans were just a suggestion, basic ideas etc. We probably won't use all of them after all. Anyone want to help me find territory images and camp layout suggestions? We should also start figuring out roles etc.

I like everyone's ideas, but I want to start off somewhere simpler, so we can manage to get going and comfortable before some massive plot points. I think I've decided that AshClan will have been driven out before the start of our game (likely by LightClan/territory issues). Tension is always good to get the ball rolling :p

OakClan and BoulderClan were more or less an Origin Story type thing. Whereas the others were at a point where the code exists (probably simpler). I'm fascinated by life before the Code was finalized ^.^.. So kinda of like.. First generation kind of thing. Of course, it'll change before the final version goes up :3

Hey, guess what. I did a thing :p If AshClan has been driven out already, it wouldn't be unusual for an Ash-born cat to find themselves in CliffClan or OakClan. Though, I do ask that they aren't old enough to know/remember what happened to their clan or family.

I do really like the idea here. Perhaps we can talk out the details once we've got the ball rolling?

Sounds good to me! I'm cool with pretty much any rank really, so I can fill anything needed

I'd perhaps like to do either deputy or med cat in BoulderClan, otherwise I'm not too fussed and I might end up making a couple of cats in one or two of the Clans

Looking forward to seeing where this goes :D
