Pineclan (Open!)

[masterkat]

General Information

Everyone knows of the clans of cats that live in all corners of the world, each having their strengths and weaknesses. Pineclan is no different. Living in a small valley surrounded by mountains, these cats are typically large with thick fur coats. Though this allows them to hunt up in the mountains surrounding their home, a recent boom in the predator population has caused prey to become scarce.

On top of that, tensions are rising within the clan. The predators have been attacking Pineclan, causing even the bravest warrior to be on edge. Adding to the clan cats’ fears, the deputy of the clan was found dead on the slopes of one of the mountains. Though Redstar declared it to be the work of a fox, whispers of dissent spread quickly. Some believe the deputy was killed by one of the neighboring tribes, and call for the clan to go to war...

Current season: Greenleaf
Moon cycle: Waning
Weather: Sunny and warm, light breeze



Rules
Since we gotta have them...

1. All forum rules apply
2. No power-playing (controlling other people’s characters) or meta-gaming (making your character know things that were in the RP or OOC chat when they shouldn’t).
3. No magical powers. Odd colors for your character are perfectly fine, just please don’t go overboard.
4. If you have multiple characters, lease make it clear who you are posting for.



Pineclan
The clan’s camp is in a clearing, surrounded by blackberry bushes on most sides. On the remaining side is a sheer rocky formation, towering far above the cats below. There is a large, fire-scarred pine in the camp, as well as a hollow fallen pine, a few dogwood trees, a couple stray blackberry bushes, and a large stone.


Leader
Usually chosen by the leader before them, the leader of the clan is granted nine lives by Starclan. The leader’s den is in the roots of the fire-scarred pine tree.

Pineclan:
Leader
MasterKat
Name: Redstar
Age: 116 moons
Gender: Male
Appearance: Redstar is the prime example of a Pineclan cat. He is large and heavily muscled, his reddish-brown fur thick and long. Despite his age and the numerous scars that mar his pelt, he carries himself with dignity and pride. A quiet wisdom shines in his amber eyes
Personality: Everything a leader should be - loyal, brave, and above all, self-sacrificing. Ashfur's death hit him hard, however.
History: Will develop through RP; had a mate that he lost long ago, and a family, though all of them died through various hardships in the clan.
Relationships: Briarleaf (mate, deceased)
Other: Has two lives left

Deputy
Was Ashheart. To be decided during the first ‘day’ in the RP.

Medicine Cat(s)
MasterKat
Name: Nightshade
Age: 70 moons
Gender: Female
Appearance: Nightshade is a fluffy long haired she-cat with bright blue eyes. Her pelt is brown with darker brown points, scarred by a multitude of old battle wounds. Her left ear is torn and her whiskers crooked, giving this once-beautiful she-cat a more ragged appearance.
Personality: This medicine cat is gruff and blunt towards all who come visit her. She has heard too much whining and too many excuses over the years of her being a medicine cat to take it. Though it may be hard to tell with her irritation with many of her patients, she cares deeply for her clan, and would fight to the death to defend any of it’s members.
History: She was a warrior when she was younger. However, their medicine cat and the apprentice died during one rough season (before the clan decided to have multiple medicine cats to prevent this). Starclan visited her many times, trying to convince her to become a medicine cat. She fought it for the longest time, but something eventually broke and she gave in.

Warriors
MasterKat
Name: Cloudleap
Age: 32 moons
Gender: Male
Appearance: Large, pure white longhaired tom with blue eyes - his right one lighter than the left.
Personality: Quiet, patient, and has a sharp mind. He is hoping to be made the next deputy, as he believes he can lead Pineclan through their challenges.
History:
Relationships: Dappledpaw (son), Skysong (mate, deceased)
Other: He’s deaf in his right ear, but hides it extremely well. The only that knew was his mate, but only because she had a bad habit of trying to scare him. For moons she had thought his lack of reaction was just good self control, but he ended up telling her about his disability.

MasterKat
Name: Stonecreek
Age: 30 moons
Gender: Male
Appearance: Stonecreek is a short haired blue-grey tom with pale green eyes. He is smaller than the average Pineclan tom, though still quite sizable.
Personality: Ambitious to the point of being devious. Driven to be the best he can in everything. Though he does often get distracted by she-cats.
History: None
Relationships: Ashheart (father, deceased)
Other: 

Queens
MasterKat
Name: Silverflower
Age: 24 moons
Gender: Female
Appearance: Silverflower is a small, delicate she-cat. Her short, silver tabby pelt is silky smooth, broken by white along her chin, belly, and the tip of her tail. Her eyes are yellow, rimmed with amber.
Personality: Kindhearted and soft spoken, Silverflower is not much of a fighter. She much prefers using her words to talk down a fight than her claws to start one. It is hard to provoke her, unless it comes to her family.
History: Was once a kittypet. She showed up in the clan with Deadheart and her two kits one day, and Redstar allowed her to join them.
Relationships: Mistkit (daughter) and Firekit (daughter)
Other:

Apprentices
MasterKat

Age: 10 moons
Gender: Male
Appearance: Long white hair mottled with small grey splotches (darker along the back, fades to solid white on his legs, belly, chest, and face). Ice blue eyes.
Personality: Outgoing, witty, charming. Maybe a little outspoken, but it’s always with good intentions. Sometimes a bit too curious for his own good.
History:
Relationships: Skysong (mother), Cloudleap (father)
Other: 

Elders
MasterKat
Name: Deadheart
Age: 40 moons
Gender: Female
Appearance: Deadheart is a thick-pelted grey she-cat with white paws and a white splash on her chest. Though she is healthy physically, her dull emerald green eyes hold sorrow that no cat should face alone.
Personality: Due to years of isolation, Deadheart is silent, never speaking to any cat. She rarely acknowledges others who speak to her, and even then it’s only with small gestures - a flick of an ear or a twitch of her tail.
History: Abandoned by her owner and left to die in a basement of her two-leg home. She somehow survived for years before Silverflower found her and freed her during her journey to join the clan.
Relationships: None
Other: Seems to be afraid of kits (with the exception of Mistkit)



Cats Outside the Clan:
Tribe Cats
N/A 

Loners, Rogues, and Kittypets
MasterKat
Name: Frightful (Screech of Frightened Hawk)
Age: 40 moons
Gender: Male
Appearance: Frightful is a large, broad-shouldered tom. Scars mar his bright reddish-brown coat around his belly, though they are hardly noticeable. His golden eyes burn with curiosity.
Personality: Has an insatiable wanderlust. He is inquisitive and quite often has insight that others don't think of, and he often doesn't give. He is quiet and reserved, for now.
History: He was found by the Tribe of Fang when he was just a kit - apparently he was attacking a hawk, which they assumed carried him away from his mother. He grew up believing he was born into the tribe, and his odd desire to explore the valley below and the world beyond the mountains would pass. He believed he would eventually fit in and find his place in the tribe. However, when Screech of Frightened Hawk learned that he was not born into the tribe, he told their Healer of his true feelings. With the leader's blessing, he donned the name "Frightful" and left the tribe.
