;;welcome


in solitude woods lives the peaceful clan of Plumclan, a feline society of peaceful cats. war, sickness, and injury has not befallen these cats, leading them to believe that a Greater Spirit has blessed the clan and that they are protected from anything evil for the rest of their lives. thus, these clan cats are lax and friendly to all and eventually the role of medicine cat becomes obsolete, no cat ever needing treatment. the use of medicine starts to be forgotten, as is the art of fighting.

one fair new-leaf night, a young apprentice has a vivid dream; a prophecy. he sees the moon black, his clanmates all dead; young and old. observing his reflection in a pool of water, he half of it running with muck and pollution, the other running red with shed blood.

awoken by this nightmare, the apprentice is uneasy but tries to ignore it. that is until more signs appear in his waking life; a dead, bloated mouse in a puddle of rain water, claw marks on trees that weren't there before.

it is not easy to ignore.

the peace and easy life of Plumclan is soon to end.

welcome! the main idea of this roleplay is that the Plumclan cats must face the truth that their peaceful lives will be ending and something terrible will befall them and soon. what it is and if it will actually happen will cause strife and unrest. some believe they must relearn the art of medicine and fighting, others believe their peace is forever and to not change what they have over paranoia. will they be able to bring order to Plumclan??

this includes: clan civil war, injuries, sickness ravaging clan cats, and even outsiders conspiring against the clan!

about each role:

leader: leads the clan and makes important decisions. since cats live long lives now, they only have 1 life. makes hunting parties, one clan cats go to for advice.
deputy: assists the leader in making decisions and making hunting parties. next to be leader.
clan-cats: no longer labelled warriors as most don't know how to fight, only hunt. all cats are equal if not leader or deputy. they hunt, make friendships, play, and explore.
younglings: apprentices basically, but they only learn to hunt. become younglings at 6 moons and clan-cats after 12 moons, allowing them this time to learn hunting skills.
queens: cats that are nursing kits. aren't allowed to hunt.
kits: very young cats not yet in training. stay in the nursery until the leader declares them a training clan-cat.
elders: clan-cats that find they may be limited by old age or disabilities and wish to live the rest of their lives not hunting or exploring or training.
outsiders: loners and rogues that aren't a part of the clan. they are not protected by the safe blanket that has resided over the clan, preventing them from getting sick or injured.

Territory:

the main territory of Plumclan consists of trees; douglas fir, ponderosa pine, pacific yew, red alder, western juniper, paper birch, black cottonwood, vine maple,and pacific dogwood. the land is filled with lots of plant life native to the pacific northwest. its somewhat hilly and somewhat mountainous, with some caverns and shallow valleys. its a great place to explore and observe plant life and wildlife for the "safe" clan cats. it rains and sometimes snows here. while mainly covered in trees, there are a few open areas exposed to the sky. this area is vulnerable to forest fires and a nearby area is known for twoleg vists. some bigger "predators" include bears, cougar, bob-cats, coyotes, raccoons, eagles, owls, and foxes. some prey are mice, mink, pika, fish, and small birds.

the camp is located in a dip of the forest, surrounded by rocks, thick bush, and bramble. the bushes near the inner part of the camp have been hollowed out to make sleeping areas for queens, kits, and elders. clan-cats and younglings sleep under the canopies of low bush and trees. a large, hollowed out log is the den for the leader. it is patched up with foliage. a small creek trickled through the clan camp, easy to jump across and drink from. a rock protruding from the higher end of the camp serves as the spot where the leader makes announcements and observes their clan.

a larger river runs through the territory, branching off into smaller creeks. there's multiple areas where cats can cross the river on stepping stones. theres a large, open field with lots of wild flowers and a great spot to sun-bathe. farthest from the camp is a twolegs camp that most cats avoid unless theyre feeling like dare-devils. a huge western juniper hanging onto a crag towards the top mountainous part of the territory is sacred and the cave beneath it was once the spot for leaders to gain their 9 lives and medicine cats to converse with Starclan. there are sparkling gems on the walls and a cool pool of water with ivy clinging to the walls. its desolate now and the clan doesn't have a strong connection to their ancestors anymore.
