Introduction | Many generations ago lived a large colony of cats that resided along a mountain. The mountain was harsh and unforgiving, though the cats were accustomed to their harsh environment and managed to thrive even in the moons when the Great Snow-fall would ravage the mountains, stripping it of most of it's precious prey. The success of the colony was largely due to it's orderly and amiable leader at the time, Smoke. He had the heart and courage of a lion, and never failed in leading his colony through the many hardships they faced, a beacon of constant hope and determination. Though, one day, Smoke was found violently murdered in his own den. A vicious power struggle ensued overnight, and as did the beginning of the collapse of the colony as mistrust spread through like a plague. With no sole leader and with the Great Snow-fall settling along the mountains, cats had no order, and then begun what was a mass starvation. It seemed utterly hopeless to the cats until a she-cat by the name of Bright Stream had a vision. A vision of where the sun touched the water given by Smoke himself. A group of those strong enough assembled and took to the prophesied place, traveling several moons through: forest, moors, cities, and even having to swim across rivers. Finally, they had found the promised place, and settled in a large cave system that overlooked the ocean. It was not easy at first, adapting by the sea after having inhabited the mountains. Eventually, their fur became long and glossy, well suited for the water, and they became fantastic swimmers, even taking on the skill of diving deep down to catch their prey. The cats thrived once more. Thus Seaclan was born. |
Clan Information | Seaclan live in a limestone cave overlooking the ocean on a high cliff face. The cave has a vast and intricate system that connects to several other caves below and above the ocean, one of which caves leads to the beach below where the cats exit to go fishing and diving. Another pathway in the cave leads up to the top of the cliffs. The main cave is 40 feet above the ocean, and was established there to escape high tide and large waves that may threaten the cats. Due to the environment the Clan lives in, they have long and glossy fur and also have more efficient lungs, allowing them to hold their breath underwater for longer than the normal cat. The greatest of the divers can hold their breath for several minutes, and can dive down to depths of 30 meters. |
Locations | The Camp A spacious cave with smooth limestone walls and high ceilings with daunting stalactites reaching down. Near the central part of the cave is a tall and rounded rock which is where the leader makes announcements. Smaller caves jut out from the main cave into what is the apprentices, warriors, and elders den. A spiral pathway near the back of the main cave leads to another small cave that is connected to an even smaller cave where the herb store is. From the herb store a long winding pathway descends to an stunning immense underground lake with a crystallized interior. The nursery is also near the back of the main cave and leads closer to the top of the cliffs. __________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Lake of the Crystals Underground lake below the medicine cat den. Crystals surround the lake and cover the ceiling; near the front of the cavern, a large crystal protrudes from the cavern floor. The medicine cat communes with Starclan from the sacred crystal and receives their messages. It is said that whispering can be heard from the magnificent crystal on the full moon. __________________________________________________________________________________________________________ The Beach A long stretch of sand that reaches far beyond what the cats can see. It is common for cats to sun themselves on the beach and also for queens to bring their kits down there to play. Crabs can be found along the beach. Several types of flora with medicinal properties grow along the shore and tops of the cliffs such as bayberry trees, marigold, and yarrow. Bayberry trees grow along the shore, and the leaves are used to treat fevers, infections, and soothe gums. __________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Training Cliffs Located at the top of the cliffs is a wide flattened area of grass where the apprentices are often trained. Along the side of the cliff is a series of ledges in which many species of birds nest in during certain seasons. Mice can be found here. __________________________________________________________________________________________________________ High Cliffs The highest point in Seaclan's territory west of the training cliffs that overlooks the sea. The cliff itself is a very steep climb, and the clifftop is barren and flat, a narrow piece of rock overhanging the ocean. Apprentices sometimes dare each other to climb up the cliffs and it's not unusual to hear about couples, especially young couples, climbing the cliffs to watch the stars together. It is an off limits place to the cats due to the tedious climb and the many deaths over the years though that hasn't stopped many cats from undertaking the precarious climb. |
Additional Info | Seaclan takes place along the cliff sides of Athens, Greece The current season is green-leaf(near the end). The fresh kill pile is half-full It's almost sun-set A storm is approaching |

~Allegiances~
Leader Sharkstar 61 moons | Appearance: Sharkstar is a large long-furred well built tom with a bobbed tail. His fur is mostly a slate gray color with hints of a light brown color;has a jagged scar across his hindleg from an almost fatal experience with a shark, hence giving him the name, Sharkscar, until he received his nine lives. Skills: Sharkstar's most notable skill is his swimming and diving ability. During his warrior days, he was known as one of the most talented divers that had ever been known in Seaclan, and had always been very popular among the Clan. Flaws: However, his hunting ability on land is very lacking, due to having never been properly taught how to hunt with a bobbed tail. He also is known to be a bit too opinionated at times. Backstory: Born to Minnowstream and Piketooth, Slatekit was their only surviving kit out of the three they had. Being of the same lineage of Bright Stream, and since his father was the deputy at the time, Sharkstar was mentored by the leader, Mackeralstar. Early on, he had shown an exceptional ability to deep sea dive, and became an extremely popular apprentice, and later on warrior. He received his warrior name as Slatepool in honor of his swimming and diving ability. A couple moons after he became a warrior,he and his father, along with two other cats were sent to find a couple of missing warriors that disappeared around the high cliffs. The expedition met an early end when Piketooth fell off of the side of the cliff. Slatepool, having been overcome with grief, decided to dive in the ocean that night to try to relax and almost met his end with a shark; he was then renamed as Sharkscar and took his father's place as deputy. |
Deputy
Appearance: Shellfang is a sandy-looking she-cat with white chest fur,underbelly and tail tip with unusually large fangs. She has amber stripes running along her back, and her eyes are a dim amber. Her fur is a little longer than most, but it doesn't affect her skills. Average body size. Skills: Shellfang is known best for using her teeth in all fights. She can be merciless. However, Shellfang is very kind and protective of her clan. Flaws: She can dive normally, but is better used as a 'guard' when other cats are diving. Shellfang is not afraid to say what she means, even if it isn't the right time or place. Backstory: Shellfang and her brother were both born into Seaclan and were trained as regular apprentices. Shellfang has adapted to being used more as a defense than a hunter, and she is happy to do her part as a warrior. |
Medicine Cat
Queens:
Appearance: Chocolate Bengal she-cat with cream chest and underbelly, large ears and blue eyes with a deep scar in between her shoulder blades just below her scruff. Skills: Quailmask has an exceptional knowledge of herbs, and is generally regarded as being one of the most gifted medicine cats Seaclan has ever seen. Despite the fact she has been declawed, she still can climb fine, and also has a way with twolegs. Quailmask tends to daydream often, though that can be valuable when it comes to interpreting signs. Flaws: Her hunting and fighting skills are poor, due to having been declawed. Backstory: Quail was purchased from a petshop that was supplied cats from a kitten mill, sent to the store before her eyes opened, and lived a spoiled life with the twolegs that purchased her. Her housefolk got her spayed/neutered, vaccinated, microchipped, and declawed. she didn't wear a collar as she would always try to take it off, and ended up getting her back leg stuck under the collar somehow, making her owners give up. Her owners eventually went bankrupt, and couldn't afford the pet bills, so they gave her to a friend, who gave her to their sister, who gave it to her guy-friend, who gave it to his girlfriend as an Engagement gift, who didn't want a third cat and dumped her at a shelter, but accepting the proposal. Unfortunately for Quail, the microchip was clawed out by a violent cat in the shelter when the girlfriend left her there and the tiny chip fell down the drain outside the cadge. She was moved to a solitary cage and was there for a week when she saw a little bobby pin on the floor just within reach, and the smart little potato chip used it to pick the lock. She bolted away and met a kind old tom who taught her how to heal, and in return she would raid the bins in the city for him and they would eat together and help each other. The tom, named Abissio, later died of old age 3 moons later. Quail was at this point only 8 moons old. She taught herself to swim across the river between the bins, and the den she made in a small park, where she lived until she was 11 moons old. One day, she smelled some chicken in the back of a utter. Chicken was a luxury, so she hopped in the back of the car and nosed her way into an es-ski, eating a whole chicken leg before getting caught and dumped on a beach. There where no bins to raid, so she scavenged tide pools, eating sea-greens like she observed a twoleg do a few days later, and teaching herself how to kind of sort of hunt by holding small fish down at the bottom of the pools until they died from the pressure, and the fact their gills where pinned shut between Quail's paw and the smooth stone bottom of the pool. Eventually finding the clan, she earned her place as a medicine cat. Learning about the ancestors in the stars and always believing she would one day meet Abissio again in Starclan. |

Thornshade - 22 moons - Brown she cat with black and grey spots all over her body. She has a lame leg that sometimes causes problems when swimming. Fallstream excels in hunting, swimming, and her fighting skills are sub-par. She is anxious around cats she doesn't know well, and terrified to lose cats she's close to due to a dark past.
She was brought up and raised in her clan but after a big battle, her mother and father died giving her horrible memories. Now she's determined to keep everyone in her clan safe, and is a bit of a lonely character. Alesii
Saltbreeze - 27 moons - Saltbreeze has a thick, light grey pelt, with many specks of varying shades of white scattered over it. Her eyes are swamp green. Saltbreeze is great at fishing, and is very fond of fighting. She is kind and loving to those close to her. She was born with a defect that gave her weak lungs, rendering her unable to dive, or swim for that matter. Saltbreeze is also not good at socializing with cats she has never met.
To Coralstream's dismay, she only birthed one kit with her litter; Saltkit. Her prefix was influenced by Sandtooth believing that she had been born with sea-salt on her pelt. He had even brought her to the medicine cat, worriedly, but of course, the medicine cat quickly determined it was part of her pelt.
When Saltbreeze went diving training for the first time as an apprentice, she found that couldn't breathe underwater, and almost drowned. Her mentor's quick move saved the young Saltpaw's life, but these events affected Coralstream badly. She was told some bad news when the leader announced it to the Clan: Saltpaw had the same lung condition as Coralstream, and therefore she would never be able to dive or swim. This was the news that ultimately killed Coralstream; she sneaked out of camp and dived into the sea one night. Saltbreeze was only 10 moons old when all this happened. Upon hearing of Coralstream's death, Sandtooth decided to leave Seaclan and live as a loner. He invited his only daughter to come with him, but Saltpaw ultimately refused, and continued her training to become a warrior. Saltbreeze was strong about her mother's death, and she doesn't let it get her down anymore. However, Saltbreeze still mourns on certain occasions. LeBlueSlime
Nettletooth - 35 moons - Nettletooth has deep amber fur, with very light, sandy-looking stripes across his back and tail. He and Shellfang look like they almost have reversed pelts! His eyes are green, very light green. Nettletooth is very large. Nettletooth, like his sister, has very long fangs. He can swim very well however, and hunts a lot. He can fight quite well, but prefers not to. Nettletooth is quite clumsy due to his big nature, another reason why he doesn't enjoy fighting, because he would probably hurt himself more than the enemy. Unlike his sister, he can be quiet at times (Not all of the time), and will probably not fight for what he believes, unless VERY important to him.
Nettletooth and his sister were both born into Seaclan and were trained as regular apprentices. Nettletooth hunts and participates in anything his clan needs him toas a warrior. Shortee
Sandtail - 40 moons - Sandtail has very pale and tan fur. It is even lighter on her chest and belly, reaching down on the insides of her hind legs. She has darker, barely able to be seen spots. Her tail is very long and smooth with a rounded tip that's a dark brown color. Her body is very slender and long, and she's taller than most other cats. She's good at thinking things through and hunting. However, she can overthink and become very anxious; she also lacks a decent fighting skill.
She was a rogue initially, with her mother, but joined at a young age. Her mother decided not to join. Fae
Shadestep - 31 moons - A sleek black tom with playful amber eyes. He's relaxed and dependable, not making a big deal when others need anything from him but always getting it done. He does have some sarcasm and dry humor, and a typical cat would be able to recognize it as that. However, if another doesn't understand he's joking, he'll normally try to clarify subtlety. Though careful with his attitude and words around others, he doesn't fully know how to express himself or his own needs. Shadestep is a brilliant hunter; though, he doesn't know/understand how to express his own needs. He often finds himself bottling up his own emotions without realizing it, carrying burdens alone. sunneh
Apprentices:
Ripplepaw - 7 moons - Ripplepaw is a grey she-cat with dark grey,ripple-like stripes crossing her back, tail, paws, legs, chest, and next to her eyes. She has very dark, blue eyes. Ripplepaw is a swimmer, just like her mother. She can catch fish very well, too. However, Ripplepaw can't fight very well, nor hunt very well on land. Ripplepaw was born to the most respected couple of Seaclan, Stonemist and Pondfur. Her mother was the most amazing swimmer, and her father was known to be an excellent thinker. Both vanished one day, and no one knew why, for they loved Seaclan and their newly orphaned daughter. Her mentor is Sharkstar Shortee
Lionpaw - 8 moons - Cronus is a large and handsome young tom with long fur and a thick undercoat. His coat is several shades of black, brown, and hints of charcoal with a brown-gray undercoat. His fur pattern can only be described as a classic tabby with a mix of calico in it; he has striped legs and an "M" shape on his forehead. A tuft of fur on his chest is flecked white and he has stunning amber colored eyes. He has jet black paws. Cronus is very bold and despite his young age is a formidable opponent in battle. Though, he is often reckless and jumps into fights blindly. xSourGrapesx
Elders:
Minnowstream - 121 moons - Once beautiful small Russian Blue she-cat with delicate features and a long sweeping tail. She has almond shaped sea green eyes. She's very sensible and will often speak her mind. She was once one of best divers in the Clan when she was a warrior. Minnowstream is the mother of Sharkstar and is a descendant of Bright Stream, having taken -stream at the end of her name in remembrance of her great relative.
Born to Ivyflower and Rainstorm, Minnowstream was the only surviving kit of the litter, and was never expected to make it due to her size. She had a normal kithood, and showed great promise early on, surpassing the other apprentices with her advanced diving skills and became one of the best divers in the Clan.
Outsiders
Mitzi - 8 moons - Solid black short-hair with ear tufts, a little bob tail and French grey eyes. Her skill are outrunning dogs, climbing fences, she can kinda sorta read a little. Her flaws are: naive, jumpy, would refuse to eat any kind of bird, even if she is starving (unless it’s some fried chicken).
She has no idea who her family is, as she was separated from them as a very young kit. She is content living with her twolegs and often watches the cockatiels her housefolk have flutter around the house. She often lends catnip to a cat named Quailmask that comes around to her place sometimes. One of the twoleg kits in her home are very ill, she keeps hearing the twolegs make the noise ‘cancer’. She doesn’t know what that is but she always comforts the sick kit and the sad family. TheMysticHeart

Eelstripe - 38 moons(at death) - Long furred dark grey, almost black tabby tom with copper eyes. Eelstripe is a competent diver like all Seaclan cats, his dark and striped pelt allows him to blend in when the water is murky or dark, a good sense of balance which helps with the camp's precarious position. He's very independent for a Clan cat, which sometime stirs trouble within the Clan. He can also be impulsive and hyper-vigilant.
Born to a pair of average warriors, his life hasn't been the most exciting so far but he hasn't suffered much for it. His apprenticeship was split between two mentors as his first, a cat named Saltclaw, was killed when he was sucked into a riptide while hunting. Eelstripe was understandably upset, but life went on and he became a full warrior not long after and is still grateful to the cat who trained him almost to the end. Currently he is drifting through life without much purpose. Ghost
