@stormy&greatwoman - yeah, that's perfectly fine! Shellstar would have been transitioning from deputy to leader for part of his apprenticeship, so I can absolutely see him delegating the task to take Foxstrike out hunting or for battle practice when he's too busy. I think that would work perfectly! And no worries, I'll update Foxstrike's kin/age on the front asap! I'll add her as Shellstar's friend, and Fox as his former apprentice. c:
@selasphorys - Absolutely, I can for sure see them butting heads throughout the course of the roleplay, especially since the rise of AshClan is still so fresh and no one is really accustomed to it yet.
As for Sunmuzzle - since that was written without the idea of Smoketail having been his mentor, I'm more than okay with editing it a bit. It could be a case of Sunmuzzle having been quite a carefree, unfocused kit and Ryestar having the hope that perhaps Smoketail might straighten him out. I think they would get along well as warriors, and as his apprentice, I bet Sunmuzzle would have gotten on his nerves a lot and caused him quite the headache. He most certainly would still hold Smoketail in high regard simply for being his mentor, and I can see him trying to continue some sort of bond after his ceremony, leading to a friendship in the end, albeit one where Sunmuzzle is annoying and Smoketail tolerates him.
@razz - awesome, I thought it would work well! I'm also thinking that Rosethunder could probably take a liking to Lakepaw, though I don't know if it would go anywhere. I think he would be attracted to her fiery personality for sure.
@everyone:
we will for sure be beginning tomorrow! Tomorrow morning I'll assign the apprentices to their mentors and announce RippleClan's deputy, as I think I've narrowed it down. Before I make the first post I'll make sure the front is (mostly at least) in order, and I'll give a little intro about what time of day/moon phase/etc that we're working with.
@Silent - feel free to announce Snowstar's deputy at any time! It would likely make the most sense if it were a former StormClan cat since I doubt there's much trust from any warrior for the other Clans' cats left, and that would mean her deputy would have to have died recently enough for her to pick a cat that was from Leaf or Marsh.
