[OOC] Warriors at Heart

[Hazelrah]

Here is a draft list of basic events & territory disputes. Please let me know your thoughts! ^^

-SunClan & CaveClan are the first two Clans to skirmish over territories. (Approx. 120 moons ago)

-Twolegs invade SunClan and kidnap some of the cats to become kittypets. The cats are never seen again. (Approx. 60 moons ago)

-Territory disputes between SunClan & CaveClan increase. (Approx 50 moons ago)

-Territory disputes arise between SunClan & MarshClan. (Approx 30 moons ago)

-Greencough ravages CaveClan (Approx 20 moons ago). They are now more cautious and reclusive towards the other Clans.

-Badger invasion in SunClan. (Approx 13 moons ago)

-Territory disputes between SunClan & MarshClan (Approx 10 moons ago).

-Most recently, the territory disputes between SunClan & CaveClan have picked up once again. Currently SunClan and MarshClan are at peace, though they have had territory disputes as recently as 10 moons ago. CaveClan & MarshClan have not had known notable territory disputes.

@Hazelrah
I think for sure this is a great start to things, and I am sure as we get going some things can be added as we all work on our characters.

Looking over the list of events, I’d say that things look pretty good overall. The only question I have is if the badger attack mentioned is the one in Silverstar’s background? If it is, it wouldn’t have only been 6 moons prior to present time. She would have either just had her kits or been very very pregnant. Other than that, it looks great! Thank you!

[StarfrostedFox]

Got the first post of the story officially up! I hope that you guys like it. If you feel like I mentioned your character in a situation they wouldn’t be in, let me know and I can change it. :)

@AutumnFrost

No, I was looking at the badger attack in Shadestep's background! I hadn't seen the one in Silverstar's background. I can adjust the timeline for the badger attack. I was basing it on the fact that Shadestep hadn't been a warrior for very long when the badger attack occurred, but honestly timing in the Warriors universe is the hardest thing for me! So just let me know and I can adjust :)

[StarfrostedFox]

@Hazelrah No worries! The badger attack is the same for both of their back stories. I just was sitting and thinking about it and realizing that she wouldn’t have been going out so close to kitting. It was hard enough for me moving around when I was almost 9 months pregnant, I can’t imagine trying to fight a badger. Ha ha! From what I can grasp, I think apprenticeship lasts about six months, so the cats would be 12 moons old when they are made warriors, More or less. If that’s the case, I think the badger invasion would’ve happened about 12-13 moons ago. Yeesh. That means Silverstar hasn’t been a leader for very long when you think about it. That could add some interesting dynamics into the story.

@AutumnFrost

Ooooh for some reason I always imagine them older when they become Warriors. But you're totally right about that timeline. I'll adjust :) Thanks for catching that, I appreciate it a lot!!

[StarfrostedFox]

@Hazelrah Eh, I could be totally wrong. But that’s what it felt like. And this last book I started, one of the characters mentioned to their apprentice that the next six moons would be the most important. *shrug* But you’re welcome. Thank you as well!

Hey y'all I wanted to apologize if my message the other day sounded like I was angry. I was a little upset but I finally sucked it up and read over all the bios and worked out where my cats fit into this new version and it actually worked out quite well. I left the original message (just marked out) because I didn't want anyone to think I was deleting stuff after saying it, if that makes sense lol.

@Korralaria, Thank you, I'll probably message you once I start developing more plots for characters. :3 I'm already plotting with Hazel. >:)

@Hazelrah, That's a good timeline, I'll let you know if I come up with anything to add in.

I've found this page extremely helpful for timing:
https://warriors-fanon.fandom.com/wiki/Cat_to_Human_Age_Chart

@AutumnFrost, Oh my apologies, I skimmed a bit but then asked if they were the same just in case it was already what I knew. xD I'll go back over it then.

As for the plots, I'm fine just doing normal clan stuff at first to get going, then we could start introducing the flooding and the rogues if you still wanted to do that idea.

[Korralaria]

@Saa[@Everyone]
Of course that is not a problem, also I have two cats in both SunClan and MarshClan. If someone needs a Mate or anything to future their role-play I can create another cat in CaveClan.
I just do not have a reason right now to create something else but I will if need be.

[Hazelrah]

Just posted my first IC post, sorry it's a little shorter than I would usually write, but I have a migraine and can't look at the screen much longer :( looking forward to getting started with everyone!!! <3

[Smystar99]

@Hazelrah I hope your migrane gets better! I understand those all too well :(

I should be getting a post up in a little bit.

[Saa]

I'm working on my characters, I hope to get them done (or mostly done) today! I've got all day so I should be able to lol. Then I'll read up on the rp so far. :3 I decided that Fawnspots was too similar to Hazelcreek in some ways and Fennelpaw in other ways so I sadly got rid of Fawnspots and just took what I wrote for her and split it up between the other two, so I have characters that are more developed instead of more characters with their traits spread out. :p

[Saa]

Okay I have my character sheets up! I may make another character or two but for now this is what I've got. :) I realized a lot of my characters from the old rp were a bit one-dimensional since I made them to fill a certain role, so I sort of combined them so I have less characters but they're better. I'll list what all I need in terms of relationships:

SunClan: Mosspoppy could use an apprentice if there's one open. She could also have a mate if anyone is interested.

CaveClan: If anyone wants to have an easy built-in family, Mothwhisker needs older siblings and she has parents. So if anyone has a character between the ages of 27 moons and 100 moons (no I'm not kidding lol) feel free to claim your family xD

Quailpaw needs a mentor!!!!

MarshClan: Rowanstep could use an apprentice.

Is there a medicine cat apprentice picked out for MarshClan? If not, Longtrek is in need of an apprentice as well!

Feel free to post here or PM me if you wanna claim a role. :3

[Korralaria]

I promise I am still here, but I have been very sick and my husband tested positive for covid (I am negative thank god). As soon as I can keep my eyes open long enough to get my introduction together it will be up I promise. I am sorry everyone.

[StarfrostedFox]

@Hazelrah I’m sorry you get migraines. I’ve never experienced one, but I hear they are unpleasant.

Also, with Spottedfire and Owleye reminiscing about getting in trouble with Badgerclaw when they were apprentices, I need to adjust ages and the timeline again. Sorry. This will probably be the last time. The badger invasion will have happened about 20 moons ago. This makes Silverstar, Foxfur, and Brindleheart a little older, but I’m okay with that. Silverstar ages a lot slower than a regular warrior, so that works out just fine, but this would probably mean that Foxfur’s and Brindleheart‘s current litter is probably their second. So if anyone would want a character that is 16 or 17 moons old, you could have them as their parents. Heh.

@Saa Beetlefoot could mentor Quailpaw. I am working on filling out his descriptions and backstory, so he is a little bland at the moment. But he certainly won’t remain that way. At least, I hope not.

I might make a medicine cat apprentice for MarshClan. I haven’t tried being a medicine cat apprentice before... That, Or I could make a mate for Mosspoppy. Or both. I’m addicted to making characters after all. XD

[Smystar99]

@AutumnFrost Sorry! That was kind of my fault, I thought it would work with the timeline but I guess not ^^'

Still trying to figure out how times works and stuff again. It's been a really long time. I`ll try to do better about it. Btw if I ever say something that someone doesn't agree with please let me know. I try to add in past events to my post to kind of build, but I don't want to over step anyone or their plans. Just tell me to rewrite and I`ll edit the part that says it to something else.

[StarfrostedFox]

@Korralaria i’m sorry you guys have been so sick! And that’s very scary! I hope you both get to feeling better very soon! No worries, no stress, just focus on getting better. I’m sending warm hugs and soup your way!

[StarfrostedFox]

@Smystar99 No worries Shannon! It doesn’t bother me at all! I like that you’ve been building backstory for characters, it helps them feel more alive. But if I do notice any part that might be an issue, I’ll point it out. But i’d rather focus on fun and not stress. The only thing I can think of at the moment is that it was a snake, not a tree branch falling that killed Badgerclaw. I think that’s what I remember that I wanted to mention. Other than that, I really enjoyed the posts! I can hopefully start working on another reply soon. Having an almost toddler is quite the adventure.

[Saa]

Jamie, I hope you guys feel better soon, that's scary! D:

Amy, you can take all the roles you need. xD I don't mind if you have a lot of characters. I'll most likely be making a couple more as well. :p The only role I have that 100% needs filled is Quailpaw's mentor. The rest can come later as it comes up. :)
