coldclan -- discussion + form thread

[wolf ;;]

I have to say, I really like the idea of the relationship between Ivystar and Spiritstep, as well as the med cat and Tinysong. I find it very fitting, and can totally see Ivystar and Spiritstep having a bond like brothers would - making him one of the most trustworthy cats to the leader. And to Tinysong, too, since he would've been present during her young life.
Also the relationship of Cindermist and Robinfrost could also be very fitting, for Robinfrost would certainly love to have her company. She'd also have sympathy for the cat due to what happened to her mother, and if anything she'd try to somewhat become a cat that Cindermist can go to about anything really, like a mother would do for their kit - which fits since Robinfrost was once a mother herself.

If Raccoontail did end up attacking a clanmate and being very serious about it - aiming to seriously injure or even kill, Ivystar would for sure jump in to stop it if he was present at the time - although his first motive wouldn't be to kill the warrior, only to stop him from lashing out. Since Ivystar is a leader who puts himself before his clanmates, he wouldn't be able to just stand by.

xxxxxxxxxxxxxx𝔹adgerfoot is a hybrid between a maine coon and a
norweigan forest cat. for this, he is muscular, and tall; sizing up to abou
t seventeen on the size chart. the tom also has pointed ears, with dense
fur coating the entirety of his body. this is excluding where certain feat
ures poke out, such as his dark orange nose, long whiskers and olive gre
en eyes. his pelt is coated with stripes and a palette of different colours.
He is particularly known within the clan to flirt with any she-cat he sees,
interested in them or not; he is known for attempting to charm even the
feistiest cats. some would say, for this, he is foolish, which he totally agr
ees with. however, despite his words of attempted flatter, he does not fe
el entirely like himself whilst doing this. his appearance of confidence is
purely a show which his father taught him, as weakness would never do f
or his son.
xxxxxxxxxxRelations;
he has no relations with any cat member. pm for a relation (friend, best
friend, enemy, family, etc.)
xxxxxxxxxxBasics;
a heterosexual tabby, male warrior. has no family or close friends. he is
tall and big, being maine coon and norweigan forest.
His history is a scattered mess. his mother died during birth, but, being
the foolish cat she was, she had left the den heavily pregnant to wander
over to the frozen lake. unfortunately, many of the born kits froze and
starved to death before the cats managed to find her. it was just him and
one other kit that managed to snuggle into there dead mother to take in
her dropping warmth in hopes of survival. his father knew he would survi
ve from then, having fought through his mothers death alone for a few
whole days in heavy snow.

he is charming and flattering,
his life seeming as it is constr
ucted upon flirting and social
ising. yet, badgerfoot feels is
olated and a sense of his belo
nging not being here. he feels
as if no one understands him,
and how shy he is, with a fake
persona the only layer of him
that they can distinguish. the
tom is lonely, friends or none.

*I would love to do a plot where Silverstorm isn't completely trusted by a cat who also challenges her authority (suggestions?)

*I picture Ivystar and Silverstorm to be close, as he did choose her as deputy. Silverstorm considers Ivystar one of the only ones she can confide in; who she thinks of as a real friend.

*I would also like to develop a relationship for Silverstorm, a slow burn that develops over time, as it would be another she-cat, and Silverstorm doesn't know that's where her heart lays. This would be Silverstorm's most trusted friend and later mate.

Alright (If no one wants to be the cat to kill off Raccontail, I'll make Cindermist do it. As if she knew all along or she was told by Spiritstep or someone else.)

If you'd like, I'd make Silverstorm do it, to prove herself to some of her more doubtful clanmates.

Proposed Relationships for SpritStep: [these are just ideas feel free to add things or make changes]

SilverStorm-
SpiritStep is cautious of SilverStorm. He doesn't fear or hate her in fact he finds what she's been through rather admirable. He doesn't know what she went through but on the first night she was in ColdClan he did and extensive health check and from what he saw; malnutrition and scars, she went through something no-cat should experience. His caution come from what he doesn't know. Until he knows her story he airs on the side of caution.

I like this dynamic a lot. Spiritstep is cautious but could also be curious about Silverstorm, as he's interested in what made her the cat she is now. Possible friendship later on as well.

[AlexBlackIsabelle]

I think I'll let Ivystar kill of Raccontail. If they are still up for it. Unless wolf thinks Silverstrom is better for the role.

[wolf ;;]

hmm, perhaps it can be a tag team sort of situation? I mean Ivystar wouldn't do any serious attacking at first, but maybe Silverstorm would? And that's something Ivystar can't stand by, seeing his deputy possibly getting hurt and so they have teamwork or something along those lines. I do like the idea of Silverstorm wanting to prove herself, too.

pippin. - I'll go add badgerfoot to the list now, although does he have an age in moons? just so I can add that to the list too

[eff]

thought i added. 28 moons.

[bellaanddexter2]

Silverstorm could even be the one Raccoontail attacks, prompting Ivystar to get involved and protect his deputy, and saves her?

I'm also probably gonna make another character or two, just to fill up the ranks a little.

[wolf ;;]

if AlexBlackIsabelle agrees to that plan then, it could work out - since Ivystar wouldn't hesitate when it comes to the deputy.

also, I've gone ahead and finished Robinfrost's form - I've also adjusted her age to make the timeline of Coldclan not so rushed, she's now 120 moons old. her form also gives a little more backstory to the second leader of the clan, Icestar, although not much.
and just as a reference type this so everyone knows - Coldstar ruled the clan for about 150 or so moons, so almost 13 years - Robinfrost was born at the end of that reign, a moon into Icestar's who ruled the clan much shorter, about 15-20 moons which is very short with nine lives. Although Icestar probably had any remaining lives stripped from her due to the stray dogs she encountered. It's then Hawkstar who rules from then, and until Ivystar became leader. Ivystar himself has only been leader for 15 moons, and has already managed to lose three lives.

I've also been thinking on introducing npc cats - if we don't get enough user-made cats within the next three to five days, I'll add a few new cats to the warrior and apprentice rank to fill the clan a bit more. these cats will be able to be controlled by everyone, and purely there as just filler - so personalities can be given to them that won't have a bit impact on the plot. and as more user-made cats are added in, they'll also serve as some deaths for the clan.
npc cats may also be the case for 'the shadows', who are rogue cats and the first big main threat coldclan will eventually face. there may be an exception for a few - although I'm not completely sure on this, I may make a poll about it.

[AlexBlackIsabelle]

I agree to let Raccontail attack Silerstrom first and it being kinda like a tag team fight.

@ Bella and Wolf
Lovely! I'm glad my ideas were good ones.
