Current I need to stop trying to get back into role-playing right before having a baby. I should know better by now. A lot better, but afraid to start new stories because I keep unintentionally ghosting.

Finally recovered from postpartum depression and ready to get back to being creative! My apologies to anyone I ghosted in my time of trial. I didn't understand what I was doing.

Bio

Well, you seem to have stumbled across my user profile. I'm assuming you're here for a reason? Perhaps looking for details on this user StarfrostedFox? ... You can just call me Autumn! C:

I have been role-playing off and on for the last 20 or so years, which is surprising to realize, and I find it a relaxing and enjoyable hobby. After an accident that left me blind a little over 15 years ago, I couldn't role-play for quite some time, which was rather devastating. About the time that Apple invented Siri, I was able to get enough money to be able to purchase my very first iPhone. And BAM! The world of role-playing was once again open to me. It has been a long process getting used to dictating stories and I inevitably don't always catch every single mistake, But I have learned a great deal of patience and realize the value of taking things slow and working through my text when something doesn't sound completely right. It was only a couple of years ago that I came across this website and the stories I have had here have taught me a lot about myself. I love to create. Role-playing is one of the only outlets I have for the images in my head. So though I may have a tendency to go through cycles of depression and being antisocial, I always seem to come back in the end.

I love stories involving fantasy, supernatural, adventure, mystery, even romance. There probably isn't a genre out there that I wouldn't give a try before I will say that I don't like it.

My favorite style of role-playing is, hands down, one on one. It helps me feel more involved in the story, gives me a chance to be able to talk with the other person involved in a much more casual way, And more often than not results in a long lasting friend and some of my favorite adventures.

I have a tendency to write on a casual to low Advanced level throughout my stories, the minimum coming out to an average of a couple of paragraphs. I just have so much in my head that I want to get out, I have a hard time writing anything less. Another consequence however is that I can't seem to find a lot of patients with story partners that give me a really short and undetailed response every time. It's discouraging to take the time to write out several detailed paragraphs only to get a sentence in reply. If you're here thinking of asking me to do a story, please keep that in mind.

I do not tolerate swearing, extreme Gore, or sexual content in my stories. Period. Nor do I role-play same gender romantic relationships. That is just not going to happen.

If you made it to the end of this and I haven't scared you off, I think you deserve some virtual cookies. Heck, go get yourself some real cookies. Or donuts. Or pie if that is your preference. It was just me rambling away about myself after all. If you aren't scared off and you were indeed here looking to get a story started, feel free to shoot me a private message. I'm always looking to make new friends and have new adventures.

@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!
@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
@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!
@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.
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. :)
Streaks of blood seemed to stretch across the sky as the sun began to sink, the first Warriors of StarClan beginning to appear at the edge of the darkening expanse. A silver white tabby she cat sat in the Forest clearing, her blue eyes gazing upwards, filled with sorrow. Around her, other cats sat or crouched in a loose circle, most watching the limp body of a black and white tom laid out neatly in their midst.

’Why did Badgerclaw, of all cats, have to die?

The thought struck Silverstar like a blow as her eyes dropped from the heavens and landed on the dead cat, the former deputy looking peaceful in Stark contrast to her feelings. Ears drooping, the she cat allowed herself one moment of engulfing grief and misery, head bowing. But then, like a duck shedding water, Silverstar seemed to mentally shake the suffocating sorrow away and she drew herself up, taking strength from the fact that her clan needed her to be strong.

As the vigil began in ernest, cats stepping forward to share tongues with Badgerclaw One last time or share memories of the tom, Silverstar’s clear blue gaze began to sweep over her clanmates, thoughts of the next deputy starting to fill her mind.

Nearby, she spotted her brother, Foxfur, sitting quietly with his mate at his side, her head resting on his shoulder. Between Brindleheart’s front paws, one of their kits sat, Rabbitkit’s eyes as round as moons. It wouldn’t be much longer before the kit and his siblings were made apprentices. Silverstar couldn’t help but feel a slight stirring of joy at the idea, but the feeling was snuffed out as she gazed upon Foxfur’s grieved expression. Badgerclaw had been his mentor and the loss was obviously hitting rather close to home.

’Foxfur might make a good deputy...’ she found herself thinking idly, though ultimately she pushed the thought away with a blink of her eyes. Her brother wasn’t disciplined enough to be the deputy, he wouldn’t find the position enjoyable at all.

Silverstar’s gaze traveled over Eagleleap, the black and silver she cat’s eyes downcast, her front paws kneading the ground as if she were uncomfortable. It made the SunClan leader wonder if The other was feeling out of place. Eagleleap certainly hadn’t been in her new home for very long, so it was conceivable. She saw the young she cat cast a furtive, nervous, glance out of the corner of her eye for the briefest of moments towards one of the other cats, as if she were thinking that she wished she had picked a different spot to sit.

Silverstar followed her glance and couldn’t help but sigh softly. Shadestep certainly was one of the more outspoken cats against outsiders. He was looking rather subdued at the moment though, Badgerclaw had been his father, but she was certain he would be the first to raise objections if she even considered appointing a cat that had come from another clan.

Her gaze had just passed onto Birchcloud, their medicine Kat, when movement out of the corner of her eye had her gaze flickering instead towards where Owleye sat. For a moment, she studied the black furred warrior, before her eyes moved lower, meeting the sympathetic stair of her daughter sitting next to her mentor.

Frostpaw’s whiskers twitched apologetically, her head ducking down, but Silverstar gave her head a gentle shake to show that she was not upset. Blinking demurely, Frostpaw pointed her muzzle out towards the body of Badgerclaw for a moment before looking expectantly back at her mother, sincerity lighting her yellow eyes. Silverstar studied her daughter‘s expression for a moment before she blinked in a show of understanding, giving her head a small dip. Frostpaw’s ears turned back sheepishly before returning her own gaze to the Dead warrior, leaning into Owleye’s side for Comfort.

Rising to her paws as the last cat finished speaking, Silverstar quietly padded forward to affectionately lick The top of Badgerclaw’s head One last time before she lifted her head to look around at her cats. Heart aching, she swept her tail around to indicate them all before she spoke, her voice clear and melodic in the quiet night.

“We are all feeling the loss of a truly good warrior,” she began, meeting the eyes of each cat gathered in turn, “Badgerclaw’s absence will be a pain in our hearts for many moons to come. But as we mourn his passing, let us also remember his love of life, his caring nature towards all of us, and the way he made us all feel safe as our deputy. He died doing something that he can be proud of, saving one of his clanmates. If not for him pushing Foxfur and his apprentice out of the way of the snake, we might have had more of our clan to grieve over.“

Her head swiveled once again to her brother, meeting his eyes for a heartbeat before she looked towards Cinderpaw, her chest feeling tight at the idea that she might have lost her kit. Blinking a few times, she continued on, her voice sounding strained with grief.

“I will always honor Badgerclaw in my heart for so loyally serving his clan and for saving the lives of those dearest to me. He walks with StarClan now... and may he ever be happy.“ Blinking her blue eyes, dark with emotion, the beautiful silver tabby lowered herself onto her belly next to Badgerclaw’s body, flank pressed comfortingly into his mate Laurelcloud’s side as she buried her nose into the black and white tom’s fur for the last time.
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!
I know Saa. I’m sorry. It is definitely hard to start over after building up so much and getting excited about it. But things just died so hard on the other role-play. Hopefully you can get excited about things over again! I know I have. And we’ve got a pretty stalwart group of people here.

SunClan is knot just a renamed CragClan. There is no mountain in the territory. I made a list of clan names and these are the ones we decided on the in the end. If you want more information on each clan, the first three posts, after the 0th post at the top of the page, has all the information on the three clans. I went through and tried to give them each their own unique territory, though I will admit that I kept a couple of details from the old role-play. Aside from those, the territories are completely fresh.

I’d still like to hear everyone’s thoughts on what sort of plot we would like to have for the future, but I figured we can start off with just normal clan business for the time being. I’ve started an introduction post and can hopefully get that up in the next couple of days.

Edit: i’d love to have Fennelpaw as DappleFern‘s apprentice! That could definitely be an interesting dynamic.
@Hazelrah That would be wonderful! Thank you! :D
@Korralaria I wouldn’t mind having Foxfur mentor Cinderpaw. They have similar personalities and I can see Silverstar trusting her own brother to mentor her son. :3
