home [full]

We are the lost. The broken. The hopeless.
Our home had been destroyed, our clan decimated. We had once been a proud clan, a strong group of cats thriving on our island home. Ivyclan, we had called ourselves, for we were well integrated into one another's lives, depending on and supporting each other through thick and thin. Until the Monster's Roar came. There had been no warning, no signs from Starclan to prevent it- though what could we have done even if there was? It had been like a nightmare, a giant ocean wave towering high over our heads had come crashing down on us, blocking out the sun and sweeping away all those in its path. The yowls of fright and panic, the cries for help, all were silenced as the massive wave carried them off. The rain had drenched the fur of those who managed to seek higher ground, obscuring our vision and preventing us from helping our clanmates- but even the roar of the winds couldn't drown out their desperate pleas completely. Only a pawful of us had managed to find safety, desperately clinging to trees, rocks, whatever we could find. The storm seemed to rage on throughout the whole night, a mix of terror and adrenaline being the only thing keeping us clinging to our sanctuaries. Then- as quickly as it had come- it was gone. The sun was shinning brightly once more, over a clan that no longer stood. Those still able met in the center of the wreckage with shaky paws, a numbing silence having descended upon our forest home. Not a word was spoke as we looked at one another. Only five cats were now left out of the over thirty that once called this place home. We were devastated to say the least, but this wouldn't be where our troubles were destined to end.

xxx the basic plot:
In case the intro wasn't too clear, here's the summary. Ivyclan is a group of cats over thirty strong, living peacefully on a secluded island home off the coast of ___ [taking suggestions on this one, as it will be kind of influential to the rp]. They don't have many problems with predators, and next to no contact with twolegs. Since loners are such a rare sight to see, if ever spotted they are captured and given the choice to either join the clan or be killed, for the sake of preserving the clan's way of living. Things are going well for them, prey is bountiful and the clan is thriving- until the Monster's Roar. The Monster's Roar is a rather large sea storm that creates a wave that near submerges the island they live on, sweeping away most the clan and destroying their home. Only five cats survived [to their knowledge] and they meet at the center of their destroyed home. This is about where the rp would start [unless anyone has good reason to start before/after this point.]


This will be updated with plot details and subplots when they are revealed.

the rules:
↷ Follow what you know.
Quite obviously, all the regular rules and regulations of this site apply. I don't believe I have to remind any of you this rp will expect you to follow Tess's rules, so don't prove me wrong and break any of um. Unfortunately this does include the one picture per form- with the exception of fontmeme. Refresher on those here.
↷ Literacy.
This roleplay plans on being of a high semi-lit to literate caliber, meaning I expect at least a decent paragraph of 200-300 words, minimum, though I ask you don't be bordering that on a regular basis. I understand writer's block, but you have the option of waiting for another person to post first when it hits, which might help you out of it. It shouldn't come as a surprise that decent grammar and spelling are kind of a must here- meaning typos every now and then are fine, but don't let them become a constant.
↷ Forms.
Please pm your forms to me before you post them! They'll help me judge literacy and make sure the cat you've created is right for the part. I'm not providing any for a reason, and that's mainly because I want to see what you've got. They don't have to be overly complex, just make sure you got all the necessary information. [don't be afraid to ask if you don't quite know what qualifies as necessary information.] I'll hold reservations until I actually open this to posting, of when I will give everyone about 72 hours- three days- to post their forms.
↷ Character information.
Now comes one of the questions I feel I'll be asked the most, and the answer is yes. I am totally open to working with you on personalizing the cat you chose: ie information, attitude, or relationship with others within reason. I'd like to keep the basic structure I have, their former ranks for example I'm not likely to budge on, but anything else feel free to ask on. Promise I won't ban you or anything ridiculous like that. Also something that should be said: I'm not accepting any double ups on suffixes/prefixes. There are only five of us here and plenty more name possibilities than that to choose from, so I honestly don't foresee a problem here.
↷ General plot vs Sub plots.
I will be asking for a lot of feedback and help with the plot as these cats embark on their journey. I do have a basic idea of what I want to happen and am thinking of implementing almost story arc-esque type structurer [ie their journey to a town, their adventures in that town, a run in with a not so pleasant clan, etc], but I am always open to suggestions on this. Subplots are excellent little things, just make sure to clear it with me first to keep everything in order- I might even be able to help you out with them. I actually have a few of my own ideas for specific characters, of which I'll be discussing with their owners. Keep in mind there is one overall plot twist that will be kept a secret until such a time when I deem it essential to become public knowledge- thus why I would like you to come to me before playing out any serious plot developments of your own.
↷ OOC chatting.
When I open it, please do not comment on the thread except to post your forms. I have made a discussion thread for us to chat and plan on, so try keeping this thread clean and nice looking- just forms and actual posts. You can of course post occ if it's in direct relation to what's happening in the posts before yours/your post itself, but if it's about the plot in general, please keep it to the discussion thread.
↷ Have fun!
That one rule we all love so much, though it could probably fall more under the reminder category. If you ever find posting here becoming a chore, just come talk with me. I can help work out a plot twist that will help spice this back up for you, give your character a sort of featured arc [make that arc more or less about them- their personal growth, history coming back to bite them, a challenge they have to face, etc], or if worse comes to worse and none of the other options work, we can discuss killing off your cat [thought this will hopefully come as a last resort].

━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━
Newly appointed the the Deputy position, this cat only held the rank for about a moon or two before the Monster's Roar hit. The clan, and even this cat himself, had been shocked to say the least at their leaders decision, partly due to the young cat's age. Never the less, the leader seemed set about this, and due to the thinking he had plenty of moons to learn and find his footing, the clan accepted it. His current system seems to be one of trial and error, since he isn't exactly use to leading groups of cats. Have no fear though, if he makes a mistake, the Warrior- and sometimes another one of, or even all of his traveling partners- will be sure to call him on it. Underneath it all, he really is just a good cat trying his hardest to be a good leader. Is the most eager of the group to find the perfect home and settle down.

Will usually confide in the Medicine Cat, asking her for guidance if he finds himself lost instead of the Warrior due to a strong sense of pride- though it isn't uncommon for her to just reword what the Warrior told him to do. Often fights with the Warrior, even when he knows the older cat is right, for the reason of the Warrior being smug and standoffish about it. He also dislikes the Warrior's blatant display of loosing his faith in Starclan, largely in part to his own faltering faith. First to display his trust in the Loner, personally asking him to come with them on their journey for a new home. He tends to be a bit too preoccupied to notice the Loner's trouble-making tendencies. Is a tad bit scared of the Queen, for reason of her being a very feisty cat, though he'll never admit it. Honestly holds great respect for her, especially considering all she's been through.

━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━
Unlike the Deputy, she had been the Medicine Cat apprentice for 17 moons, thus gained plenty of experience shadowing her late mentor. On the other paw, she had only received her warrior name eleven moons ago. She's currently struggling with convincing the others- along with herself- she's prepared to take on the role of a Medicine Cat alone, which might be going better if Starclan would actually talk with her. She's the one constantly trying to sooth over tensions and keep everyone from fighting, while simultaneously putting aside her own sadness. Out of all the cats, she appears to be the only one still keeping faith in Starclan, despite them not communicating to her. She's uncertain if they'll ever find a new home, but doesn't much care, more concerned that the small group remains together no matter what.

Considers herself friends with the Deputy, and tries to defend him against the Warrior's harsher ridicule. Despite that, she does hold a great deal of respect for the Warrior, and will try to help the Deputy see his point if she finds it reasonable enough. One of the only things they really ever argue about is her faith in Starclan. Had been one of the first to accept the Loner as one of their own before the Monster's Roar, though this could be due more to her being a Medicine Cat than actually trusting him. Either way, she doesn't mind his company, even going as far as to enjoy his more insightful abilities. Constantly worried over the Queen, hating to see how the cat seems to be spiraling down into depression after the loss of her kits. Tries to do it subtly, as she realizes the worry is unwanted.

━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━
The oldest member of the group, and arguably the most knowledgeable. He was, and still is, a firm believer in the warrior code, but is beginning to have his doubts about Starclan. Likes to make his own path most the time, believing since he is the oldest of the cats, he should have the most say. He's not an overly emotional cat, thus has a hard time admitting to the others how much the loss of his clan has really affected him. This can give him the false appearance of being apathetic to the deaths of their clanmates, something that is not at all the case. Though no matter what he says, he will always be the first up when it comes do defending what cats are left of his clan. While he respects the Deputy due to his position, he has no problem defying him if he feels the situation calls for it. Doesn't want to leave the remnants of their last home, feeling rather dubious about this search for a new one.

Almost always fighting with the Deputy, though his intentions for it are good, he's just going about it a little strongly. In the end, his challenging of the Deputy is just his way of helping the cat become a better leader while keeping the group safe at the same time. He is under the impression that the Medicine cat is too young for her new position, but doesn't argue with her handling of it as he realizes she's the only option they have. Doesn't approve of her retaining her belief in StarClan, and will commonly quarrel with her over it. Doesn't trust the Loner. Not since the day he first came to the clan, and not now. Believes that he will betray their group if it proves useful to him. Unsure how to act around the Queen, for he had never had a mate or kits of his own. It isn't uncommon for him to hang around her though, enjoying compatible silences with the cat closest his age.

━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━
This cat was quite new to the clan before the Monster's Roar, having been just accepted into it from the life of a loner only a few moons previous. He wasn't all that gung-ho to join in the beginning, his options being either join the clan or be killed- Ivyclan didn't take kindly to having to share their prey. The cat's hadn't been all that sure about him either, but accepted him due to the code. He's a loner by nature, just as his previous rank depicted him as, so the loss of the clan appears to have effected him least. Now, he's still not sure if he wants to stay with this group, though there really doesn't seem to be a better option. So far, he's just along for the ride, not much caring if they ever find a home or not. Though he'll never admit it, he is starting to warming up to these cats.

Is grateful to the Deputy for taking him in, though he finds the cat a tad too practical for his taste. Is also under the impression the Deputy is slowly modeling himself after the Warrior, something the Medicine Cat has yet to deny seeing herself. Enjoys being around the Medicine Cat, since she's rare to snap at him for is tendency to make offensive observations- that have a habit of being true. Secretly marvels at her ability to keep faith in such dire situations. Doesn't exactly like the Warrior, for much the same reason as he's iffy about the Deputy, thinking the older cat much too serious to have any fun with. He can also tell the cat doesn't trust him. Is strangely empathetic to the Queen, but doesn't like being near her. It's thought this might have something to do with his past.

ｔｈｅ ｊｕｓｔ ｏｕｔ ｏｆ ｔｈｅ ｎｕｒｓｅｒｙ ｑｕｅｅｎ:
━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━
Hers is perhaps the saddest story among the bunch. She was a first time mother, and it had only been a few days prior to the Monster's Roar that her kits had left the nursery. Of age, they were given their apprentices names and moved into the apprentice's den. It was a bittersweet time for her, happy to see them growing but still holding deep concern for their wellbeing. They were lost in the Monster's Roar. After their deaths, the she-cat wasn't quite the same, now with the tendency to be withdrawn and snappy. While she's ordinarily moody and quite, she can become quite the overprotective and doting mother if a cat reminds her of her precious kits. This goes the same for if a cat is injured or doing something clearly stupid- or in her mind, acting like a kit. The group is slowly filling the gap in her heart.

Like the Warrior, she thinks of the Deputy as too naive for his position, though her style is more to watch him crash and burn, then rub the mistake in his face when it's all said and done. This doesn't hold if he does something he clearly can't get himself out of, or if he accidentally brings another cat down with him- at which point she'll step in and help him out, no questions asked or ridicule given. While she does like the Medicine Cat to a point- going back to her motherly sense to the younger cats- she can be easily irritated if the cat becomes too worried over her. While she no longer believes in Starclan herself, she respects the Medicine cat's ability to, and will often times defend her against the Warrior in their arguments. She's often the one to keep the Warrior in line if she feels him getting too 'cranky', though it isn't uncommon for her to take his side- especially if the Medicine Cat takes the Deputy's. Doesn't exactly trust the Loner yet, though she does accept him as one of their group members. Feels theres more to his story than what he's letting on.

⊱ information - Meet the complex young Sunleaf. A medicine cat before the Monster's Roar hit, this cat takes her job very seriously and does all she can to be the best at it- which includes going against even those she holds the highest of respect for to defend the things she believes in. Whether that be arguing for her faith, defending her current traveling companions, or simply convincing a cat of the necessity of healing their wound, Sunleaf isn't one to back down easily. Seeing her in action now, it may even be hard to believe she never wanted to become a Medicine cat when she was young. The story starts simply enough, quite a few moons ago, with an inquisitive young Sunkit. When ordered to do something, she would listen when she deemed it necessary, but if something in the demand could be questioned, Sunkit would draw attention to it. Accompanying to her curious nature came a tongue as sharp as a badger's claws, her constant tirade of questions often times packing a bite. So you can imagine her surprise when, just a few short days after her apprentice ceremony, she was called in to her leader's den to discuss apprenticeship under Mintshine- their clan's medicine cat. The ginger cat was opposed to say the least, borderline rebellious, especially considering Sunpaw had grown up on the thinking a cat should take care of themselves. Once Mintshine had explained this choice was made based directly off a sign from Starclan, she found herself unable to say no. Depending who you ask, that could be one of Sunleaf's greatest traits, or biggest faults: her unwavering belief in those whose paws walk amongst the stars. That use to be one of the only topics she could talk about kindly with others- or at least it was, until a few moons into her apprenticeship. The job turned out to be a blessing in disguise for Sunleaf, giving her the challenges she needed to become more sympathetic to other cats, opening her eyes to see that every cat needed help once in a while, no matter how strong they may be. Today, she fits her job quite a bit better than she once had, her seventeen moons as a medicine cat having softened her significantly, easing her to be a more patient and caring cat when the situation calls for it. In the current group of five, she is most commonly the one soothing tensions and stopping fights, but watch out- with all the good traits she acquired with age, Sunleaf has retained some not so desirable ones as well. For instance, she can often be faulted for having too loose a tongue, being rather outspoken no matter what the situation or cat she's conversing with, especially when it comes to things she curious about. This she-cat tends to talk herself into just as much trouble as she can converse her way out of.

[lucee]

{ thirty-two moons } { the newly-introduced loner }

looper was incredibly new to the clan when
disaster struck; he quickly weaved himself
into the fabric of ivyclan until he was just
another face. in truth looper is incredibly
arrogant, looking down his nose on any
cat that relies on something so pathetic
as a clan for survival. the tom could even
go so far as to be described as delusional
- he certainly looks the part, with narrow
greenish-brown eyes and a wide smile with
far too many teeth. looper has been given
the clan name 'cedarfang'. if you can get
past the slight insanity bordering on
psychopathy, looper's actually incredibly
intelligent. he's constantly observing the
world and cats around him to use to his
own advantage. once the son of a
merciless leader, looper was left for
dead when a revolution in the clan
came to pass. he grew up on hate and
suspicion of others since then, never
fully trusting others and believing
all clans to be as malicious as his
had been.

[Tremayne]

Spidergaze is not your typical cat, nor is he your typical deputy. Being crowned with such a prestigious rank at such a young age, 24 moons to be exact, he was held to high standards and ridiculed by the other cats. Most of the older clan members test him and tease him, wanting him to snap or prove that he is not worthy of the position. However, this calm and collected tom is not phased by their petty tests, and can hold his own against their brutal words. Spidergaze tends to levitate towards the medicine cat, seeking solace in her quiet care and tender words. Spidergaze is a large cat, with long legs and a wider frame. The tom can fight efficiently, and is very much a brute force rather than a nimble sneak. All in all, Spidergaze is a kind and thoughtful tom who is extremely loyal to the cats in the clan. Love and romance is something he tends to avoid, wanting to focus on proving himself to the clan and providing for their constant needs and worries.
