Oakclan/Boulderclan - The Beginnings - A Warrior Cat RP

Amberleaf’s pelt warmed and he took the praise with a gracious nod. “Thank you. All I want is to help BoulderClan succeed, and I am sure it will under your skilled leadership,” he mewed. The deputy fell into step behind the pretty calico she-cat as she walked towards the fresh-kill pile. Amberleaf eyed it and the cats in the camp, trying to judge whether hunting or border patrols could be sent out. He knew it would take some time for things such as patrols to be so organized every day, since most cats’ instinct would be to make their own schedule and go out as they see fit. But their first responsibility was to their Clan now, and everyone—Amberleaf included—would have to learn to live a different way.

“There is nothing to report on the border with OakClan. The scents have been laid and unchanged, and I saw no cat. I don’t think OakClan will try to contest territories yet, but we must always be on the lookout,” he reported to Boulderstar. Then, voicing his thoughts, he asked, “Should I send out some hunting patrols this morning? I was thinking of sending a small group to the western edge of our territory to check on the scent markers there. We may have more to worry about from aggressive rogues than OakClan cats. But if we see strange cats, we should try to recruit them first if possible,” he added.

Are we expected to @Mention people whose characters we're interacting with? I've seen people in other roleplays doing it, but I haven't personally RP'd since the feature was implemented.

I'm excited. :)

Also, Merry Christmas everyone!

Oakclan/Boulderclan - The Beginnings - A Warrior Cat RP

Amberleaf padded into the BoulderClan camp, pausing to draw in the scents of the air and look around before heading towards the leaders’ den. The muscular deputy cut an impressive figure as he strode through the clearing, and his auburn pelt was sleeker than he remembered it being recently, thanks to the opportunities to rest and hunt more prey with the Clan. He was pleased to see some cats of BoulderClan already up and ready to go, just a sign of more prosperous times to come, he was sure. His ears flattened slightly as he noticed Harepaw’s rather aggressive demeanor as he talked to Screefoot. No doubt the apprentice was acting out again. Something would have to be done about that, but he trusted Screefoot to get Harepaw in line as his mentor. Amberleaf resolved to have a chat with her regarding the situation later.

He bounded up to his leader’s den, remaining outside. “Boulderstar? I was just patrolling the new borders,” he reported. He had ventured out by himself early in the morning to explore the territory and quickly look at the borders. So far, it would seem that they were being respected, but who knew if OakClan would soon become greedy? Amberleaf wasn’t personally interested in expanding their own territory, but he was definitely ready to defend the areas they had laid claim to. He waited patiently to be invited into the den or for Boulderstar to greet him outside.

In BoulderClan’s nursery, Sagekit began to stir as it grew light out. He was curled up with Willowkit’s tail resting over his body. It looked like his sister was still fast asleep. Sagekit let out a purr as he felt warm and comforted by the added presence of Ravenfeather and Owlkit. He barely remembered by now what sleeping with his mother had been like, but this felt like home. He opened his tiny mouth in a yawn and allowed his eyes to close as he drifted back into peaceful slumber.

~~~

Nightmist emerged from the warriors’ den of OakClan, carefully stepping past the round forms of other sleeping cats. It was still so strange for her to be among so many other cats, but maybe it was something they were all getting used to. The black she-cat stretched out her sore muscles, sharp teeth glinting as she yawned. She was not always up so early, but adjusting to Clan life—and even just socializing with so many cats all the time—was taking its toll on her, and she found herself feeling on edge and anxious often. She had slept little and lightly in the past few nights. However, she persevered because she saw some wisdom in the idea of Clan life, and it appealed to her despite her loner nature. She would just have to get used to social interaction, and she was already feeling more at home with each passing sunrise. At the very least, she wasn’t one to worry much about what other cats thought of her, so she lived up to no one’s expectations but her own.

Nightmist’s first instinct was to head for the camp entrance to see if she could find some prey for herself and the Clan, but she stopped herself after taking a step. Ripplepaw. The young apprentice was looking to her of all cats for guidance, and Nightmist took her duties as mentor very seriously. Besides, she had to remember to start taking cats out with her when she went hunting or patrolling. With the establishment of borders and territories, more organized groups would be needed to manage it all.

Nightmist settled down to groom herself, content to watch and wait until Ripplepaw made an appearance in the camp. It seemed like Hawkclaw and Sootpaw were also getting ready to head out. It occurred to her that the mentors could collaborate to train apprentices together, but that could wait for another time, when they all had more experience as Clan cats. She noticed Oakstar and Burrpelt conversing by the leader’s den, and cast an appreciative glance at the freshkill pile that must have been stocked so heavily by the deputy this morning. He was certainly proving himself capable in his rank already.

I will change her name into something that ends in -star.

Edit: I think I will go with Boulderstar :) keep it classy lol

@KahleenCuthald

@OtterTerror

Then Boulderstar (your cat) is the founding leader of the clan and received her nine lives? Will post accordingly. :)

Oakclan/Boulderclan - The Beginnings - A Warrior Cat RP

@OtterTerror

My characters are done; please let me know if they're good. :)

Relationships of my characters (if this helps):

Amberleaf and Granitepaw are brothers (from different litters).
Nightmist is Ripplepaw's mentor.
Sagekit and Willowkit are the adopted kits of Ravenfeather and adopted siblings of Owlkit.

Oakclan/Boulderclan - The Beginnings - A Warrior Cat RP

<Snipped quote by CLIW>

That thought striked me too but let's try it first. ;)

@KahleenCuthald

Or we could say Boulderstar died right after creating the clan and Fightsparks took over.

@CondorTheMole

At the very least, I think her name should end in -star, but it's up to you and Otter of course. :)

Oakclan/Boulderclan - The Beginnings - A Warrior Cat RP

@AngelKitten
I can make a Queen for them.

@Phaesaris

Sounds good!

Merry Christmas, everyone! :)

Oakclan/Boulderclan - The Beginnings - A Warrior Cat RP

My apprentice Witheredpaw for Oakclan need mentor
And can Copperpaw be a Boulderclan's med.cat apprentice? @OtterTerror

And my she Snowthorn will have a crush toward Amberleaf x3

@Pink Madness

I like that idea. Maybe he'll return her affection. :D

After seeing the distribution of characters, I think Sagekit and Willowkit could be in BoulderClan, but there are no queens to take care of them. They will have to make do, I suppose (poor kitties).

Oakclan/Boulderclan - The Beginnings - A Warrior Cat RP

Amberleaf

Name - Amberleaf
Gender - Male
Rank - Deputy
Clan - BoulderClan

Appearance

Image

Amberleaf is an orange tom with white paws and amber eyes. He is a larger cat and his build speaks of great physical strength.

Personality
Amberleaf is a cat who gets the job done, no matter what. He tempers his strength with discretion, especially when it comes to new border conflicts and non-Clan members; combat is not always the immediate solution. As far as his position as Clan deputy is concerned, he feels as if he has earned it with his skill and early contributions to BoulderClan, but he is not too proud to take advice and value the various strengths of other cats.

Relationships
Granitepaw (Brother)

History
Being a skilled fighter, Amberleaf battled tooth and claw for every bit of prey he could eat to survive the harsh leaf-bare, but he never went out of his way to pick a fight. He joined a small ragtag group of cats for survival purposes and, tired of the endless struggles they faced, he was ready to listen when others told him of StarClan and their salvation in the form of organized Clans.

Other - N/A

Nightmist

Name - Nightmist
Gender - Female
Rank - Warrior
Clan - OakClan

Appearance

Image

Nightmist is a jet-black she-cat with piercing green eyes. Her body is lithe and agile, and the color of her coat allows her to prowl undetected in the shadows of the forest.

Personality
Nightmist is fiercely independent and tries to maintain a façade of indifference towards others. Behind her mask, however, she is compassionate and sincere in her efforts to make her new Clan great, and would treat well the cats she comes to consider friends and Clanmates. Nevertheless, she is not one for exuberant displays of emotion.

Relationships
Ripplepaw (Apprentice)

History
Nightmist was a loner and was used to being alone most of her life, ever since she grew old enough to fend for herself and parted ways with her mother. She ranged in the wooded areas that would become OakClan’s territory, stayed out of fights, and kept to herself. Eventually, she joined the forming Clan out of necessity and—although she would never admit this to another cat—a certain degree of loneliness.

Other - N/A

Sagekit & Willowkit

Image

Name - Sagekit
Gender - Male
Rank - Kit
Clan - BoulderClan

Appearance
[Refer to image] Sagekit is a silver tabby with black markings similar to his sister’s, and light blue eyes.

Personality
Sagekit is a kit and, as such, is prone to get into all kinds of trouble without adult supervision. He tries to act wise and mature beyond his years, often lecturing his sister Willowkit on being cautious, but he can’t fool the rest of the Clan—he can be as rambunctious and impulsive as any kit. He lives in the moment; as a result, now he isn’t too concerned about the fate of his birth mother.

Relationships
Willowkit (Sister/Littermate) | Ravenfeather (Adopted Mother) | Owlkit (Adopted Brother)

History
Sagekit and Willowkit were born during the fighting that preceded the forming of the Clans. They were largely too young to remember what it was like, and the memory of their mother being killed by another cat as she defended her kits has faded in their minds. It is likely that they only survived because of the cover their hidden den provided. They were found by some new Clan members and taken in when the Clan was being formed. The Clan is their new home and family.

Other - N/A

~~

Name - Willowkit
Gender - Female
Rank - Kit
Clan - BoulderClan

Appearance
[Refer to image] Willowkit is a light brown tabby with black markings similar to her brother’s, and amber eyes.

Personality
Much like her brother, Willowkit enjoys adventure and exploring, even when the adult cats say otherwise. She is usually at the heart of the trouble they make, with Sagekit standing off to the side and pretending he had nothing to do with it. She is more eager to grow up and become a warrior, but also more nervous about the responsibilities that would entail.

Relationships
Sagekit (Brother/Littermate) | Ravenfeather (Adopted Mother) | Owlkit (Adopted Brother)

History
Sagekit and Willowkit were born during the fighting that preceded the forming of the Clans.

Nettlefang

Name - Nettlefang
Gender - Male
Rank - Warrior
Clan - BoulderClan

Appearance

Image

Personality
Nettlefang has a fierce devotion towards his mate and future kits and strives to defend them with all his strength and courage. Now this sense of protection extends to the rest of the Clan as well, but he still places his family above all in his mind. His hotheaded nature gets him into trouble sometimes, for when he gets angry he often speaks and acts without thinking. In such times, he relies on the thought of Riversong to keep him grounded.

Relationships
Riversong (Mate)

History
Nettlefang had been part of the group of loners in the mountains along with Riversong. Out of a desire to protect his mate and unborn kits, they joined BoulderClan together when the time came to choose.

Other – N/A

Leaf

Name - Leaf (soon to be -paw)
Gender - Female
Rank - N/A (soon to be apprentice)
Clan - N/A (soon to be OakClan)

Appearance

Image

Leaf is a young brown she-cat with green eyes, small for her age.

Personality
Leaf is a determined cat who is not afraid to speak her mind. She doesn’t let herself be intimidated by other cats because she is confident in herself regardless of her physical size. However, her combat skills are only as strong as they can be when you’re a loner fighting to survive, and she knows she has a lot to learn. Despite the hardships she’s faced in her relatively short life, she lives by one motto: “Never give up.”

Relationships
Cinnamon (Friend)

History
Leaf’s memories of her family are fuzzy. She grew up a loner, managing to survive and take care of herself despite the odds. There weren’t many other cats in the area and they all mostly kept to themselves, but she met and grew close to Cinnamon and they’ve been inseparable ever since. When it was time to move on and find some new territory to hunt in, there was no question that the two cats would travel together. Leaf knows she can always count on Cinnamon to watch her back.

@Phaesaris

Nightmist can be Ripplepaw's mentor? (Her CS will be done within a few hours, but I already had an idea of her personality—I think they would get along well.)
