When the Sun Lights Up the Night [ Signups and Info ] OPEN

[AlicornPlayhouse]

A role-play based on the Warrior's series by Erin Hunter

Endless trails of stars we blaze. We soar like birds, with the strength of the lions, we will prevail!
- Sunlit Night

What happens when a home becomes so treacherous cats have to run? What happens when their new home is already inhabited? This story is answered with the journey of a few rogue cats and the founding of SunClan and NightClan. War and fear, terror strikes even the smallest creature and blood lust plagues those that are strong. Even the brightest sun can't light up the night and the darkest night can't dull the sun. Where there is balance chaos will rise, and chaos will find balance.

Tensions may have died, peace may have been earned, but nothing lasts forever.

Welcome to my new role-play, where we follow the journey of two clans! SunClan and NightClan, where your characters reside, and where all the drama takes place! Learn more about them below, and see if you're strong enough to stand in the suns heat or cunning enough to swerve through the shadows.

General History And Info

History
Long ago, a group of rogue cats lived among the fields. Sharp and quick, their mind was as dangerous as their claws. They lived in general peace, very few fights broke out between these rogues.

Until, they came.

Large group of cats, all arguing and fighting over their territory. What clan got what next, where camps and dens would be, setting boundaries around their precious home! The cats who had lived there for centuries were suddenly being treated as intruding pests with no more right to live than a mouse. It was suffocating. Their lands destroyed, prey stolen, lives taken. If a kit dared wander to far from its mother too long these horrid cats would claim it as their own as well. Nothing was the same anymore. Where would they go? Their hunting grounds had been stolen, homes wrecked. The only option seemed to be to join these clans, and many tried... just as many failed. These clans didn't seem interested in new friends.

Moons of unrest left cats tired, hungry. Their weakness grew more and more prominent, and only a few were left with their spirits high.

One cat in particular, who went by the name of Sun Ray, was prepared to lead these . He gathered up groups of rogues that remained with his boldness and words of peace, a new home to call their own. He would protect them, he would be their savior! With their energy gone but their spirits brightened, the cats made way for a new dawn. There was no home left in these lands, the clan cats had been sure to steal that from them.

Through mountains, across rivers, through deserts and forests these cats wandered. Many didn't make it, kits grew ill and elders could no longer walk. Mothers grieved and the strong were on their last leg. All hope was draining, fast. Sun Ray tried to keep spirits up, to insist they would find their home, they just needed to follow the stars. Visions of a better life, happier cats, peace.. he could see them, just beyond the stars.

Their last ounce of strength, gone. Their pelts were thin and matted, bodies scarred and mangled. Nothing was left for them.. they would never find a home. And, as luck would have it, that's when they found it. Over the last mountain passage, a field. Beautiful yellow wheat waved in the wind, overgrown and abandoned. Perfect for a good hunt. The air was thick with the scent of prey and every cat felt joy course through their body. Beside it lay a forest, lush and green with trees that seemed to stand tall against the most ragged of winds. Their home... they'd finally made it!

To their surprise, they weren't the first.

These lands, inhabited with rogues much like their old home, though, they weren't nearly as friendly with each other. The sound of cats fighting could be heard day and night, and with these new cats arrival, it only worsened. Every hour was spent in fear, every moon worrying that they'd become more and more like the cats that they saw as monsters. Were they driving these cats out? Did these cats deserve it? They WERE aggressive! But.. they were also here first. Sun Ray was growing tired of it.

He had to find a solution and that's just what he did. He gathered up every willing rogue he could find, though they were few, it was enough to get started.

"My name is Sun Ray! I come from lands where cats have stolen our home and our pride, left us beaten and scarred, but no longer! We take their status as clan, and take the only thing of pride they held dear! We will become our own clans in our own right! You need fight no more, I will cast light upon you!" Word spread of the tom-cats brave proclamation, and at the notion of more food, more and more rogues began to join in the idea. Two clans.. they'd never heard of a clan before, it didn't seem like an option to them! Sun Ray was going to be sure these cats didn't suffer the same way he and his followers had, and make sure they suffered their own wrath no longer too.

The cats that had gone on the treacherous journey mostly decided to reside in the fields, where an old abandoned barn they. They would be named SunClan, after their founder. The band of rogues Sun Ray had gathered chose the forest. They became NightClan. As for Sun Ray, he earned the name of Sunlit Night, as he cast his brilliant mind and strength onto a once cold, dark place.

It took many, many moons, but, Sunlit Night and his successors slowly began to connect more with their ancestors and create a peaceful home. Fights over territory were still fought, cats were never going to be happy all the time, but it was.. it was home. And, now, you're here. What will you make of your home now? Will the strife return in the new generations, or will a darker force make you band closer together than before?

NightClan Info

Culture
NightClans culture is based heavily on stealth and cunning. They're quick witted and even quicker on their paws. With an eye for how to hide, they reside in the darkness. They have strong family values, though are often more of a 'one for all' in their way of life and with fighting. They're more likely to cause scruffs over territory and, while at peace with SunClan, are often seen as more aggressive. They're illusive and pride themselves in being mysterious and being close to their warrior ancestors in the stars. Though, their hiding under the shade of trees is a nod to their rogue beginnings, when they didn't believe in the clan in the stars and hid from the light.

Territory
Their territory is a large forest filled
The camp is a clearing in the forest with the dens circling the borders in the of the clearing. In the middle of the camp is a large hollow stump which the leader sits upon to call meetings and give announcements, and sleeps in. The nursery and elders den are beside each other, with the warriors and apprentice den on each side for defense.
Landmarks
Great Oak: A large oak tree on the border of their territory to the south of their territory
Rocky Streams: A rocky clearing filled with small streams that weave through the stones, beside their camp at the east
Training Hollow: A large empty clearing in the forests where apprentices are trained to fight
Jagged Peaks: Rolling hills right outside the forest, off towards the mountains, which NightClan has claimed as theirs
Dividing Lake: A large lake that spans between both territories which the clans share and have all of their gatherings around. Any fish in the lake is free for all cats and when swimming in it, there are no borders.

SunClan Info

Culture
SunClan was the first clan in this territory, and they pride themselves on bravery and strength! All for one, one for all. They reside under the warmth of the sun and let themselves be known. Their war cries are something to behold. Even so, they're the more peaceful of the clans. They're the first to bare their fangs if need be, though the amount of aggression needed to permit it is usually quite high. They're known to be loud speakers who use their upbeat attitude to get their way, unlike the more sly cunning NightClan. Their connection to the clan in the stars is notable, as they thank it for their new home and the peace they've earned.

Territory
SunClans territory is a large field of field filled with rolling hills, always basked in the golden glow of the sun.
Their camp is a large abandoned barn with rafters to scurry through and hay to sleep on. The leaders den is a large barrel, which they stand on for meetings and announcements. The elders den and nursery are near the back of the barn, while the warriors and apprentice dens sit by the door. The medicine cat den is right beside the leaders barrel.
Landmarks
Badger Hollow: A large abandoned badger den most apprentices hang out at in their free time near camp.
Long Stream: A slim stream that spreads out through the hills from Dividing Lake, where most cats fish or wash off
Golden Field: Surrounding the barn is a large area of wheat, overgrown and golden, great for hunting or practicing your stalking
Training Nests: A large clearing the clan has filled with padded down wheat to make a soft nest like area, often used to train apprentices in fighting or to bask in.
Dividing Lake: A huge lake that spans across NightClan and SunClan territory, where they have all their gatherings and, when swimming in it, there are no borders

Here is mine! This is where I post, right?

Name: Fiercepaw
Gender: Male
Clan: Sunclan
Rank: Apprentice
Age: 8 moons
Personality: Fiercepaw is kind of a strange cat. He never likes to play like other cats and has never smiled. His face is always frowning and he never shows emotion. He has no friends, but is not deterred by that. His goal is to be very strong and never show any weakness. He has no morals and is okay with killing of the situation results in such a thing. Though he is very loyal to Sunclan and would never go against the warrior code.
History: He was raised in NightClan, but decided at a young age that it was too weak. Once he was old enough to really run, he ran off to Sunclan where he immediately joined without hesitation. Some would call him cruel to his mother, but he thinks he was doing the best thing.
Mate: None
Kits: None
Strengths: He will not hesitate to do what he is good or fight ruthlessly.
Weaknesses: He can be heartless and does not care much for others.
Description: He is a simple average red-orange tabby cat with piercing yellow eyes.


Name: Magpiefeather
Gender: Female
Clan: NightClan
Rank: Warrior
Age: 34 moons
Personality: She is not the ideal mother as she often puts her children in hard situations to toughen them up. She really does care for them, just wants them to be their best self. She is quite motherly and caring when they are younger, but when they grow older she can put them in danger. She is a great warrior as she is loyal, caring, and would follow her leader to every end of the earth. She is fierce in battle and would protect her Clan with her life.

History: She has lived in NightClan all her life and became a warrior quickly. There was not much excitement to her life, as she eventually fell in love with her mate. She had his kit, Fiercekit but he soon ran off. She decided that she would not care for Fiercepaw and would even fight him if they met in battle. She lived with her mate and is a great warrior until he got taken away by twolegs. Now she is single again and is the best warrior she can be. She has a deep hatred towards Sunclan because of her son.
Mate: Rootstep (deceased)
Kits: Fiercepaw
Strengths: Her determination and spirit.
Weaknesses: Her hatred towards Sunclan that sometimes blinds her.
Description: A pure black she-cat with a ginger patch over her right eye and yellow eyes.

I think you mean NightClan when referring to 'DarkClan' but, accepted!

[belloblossom]

Name: Rosestripe
Gender: She-Cat
Clan: NightClan
Rank: Warrior
Age: 40 moons
Personality: Motherly and responsible, despite never being a mother herself, Rosestripe is nosy enough to stick her nose into the business of other cats. Somewhat disruptive, if she sees any misconduct or injustice happening in front of her or within her Clan, she'll speak up about it. She truly wishes for both Clans to live peacefully, separately. So long as they mind their own business and NightClan minds theirs, she believes all will prosper.
History: Born and raised in NightClan, Rosestripe doesn't have a very remarkable past. She's been unlucky in love, more focused on the politics of her Clan than finding a mate within it. She's older now, but surely that wouldn't make her entirely ineligible to find a mate?
Mate: Open
Kits: n/a
Strengths: Compassionate, hard-working, dutiful
Weaknesses: Outspoken, nosy, fishing
Description: A reddish-brown she-cat with thick short fur and darker tabby stripes. She has amber eyes.

Name: Redsplatter
Gender: She-Cat
Clan: NightClan
Rank: Warrior
Age: 24 moons
Personality: Aloof and occasionally mysterious, Redsplatter doesn't have strong opinions on matters. Or if she does, she certainly doesn't tell anyone about them. Preferring to keep a low-profile and just do what's asked of her, despite living in the Clan nearly twenty moons, she still seems like a bit of an outcast among her Clanmates.
History: Found at the border as a loner kit, Redsplatter was taken in by NightClan and raised as one of their own. She cannot remember what her life was like outside of NightClan, nor can she remember her parents or any other family she may have had.
Mate: Open
Kits: n/a
Strengths: Stealth, Loyal, Hunting
Weaknesses: Fishing, Communication, Strength

Name: Adderstrike
Gender: Tom
Clan: NightClan
Rank: Warrior
Age: 26 moons
Personality: Hot-headed and brash, Adderstrike believes that there should only be one Clan: NightClan! More than a little battle-happy, Adderstrike is a cat just waiting for the right opportunity to cause trouble at the SunClan border.
History: Born and raised in NightClan to two parents who hated SunClan with a passion, he grew up with similar feelings. SunClan is a threat! They should be taken out before they can get the jump on NightClan!
Mate: Open
Kits: n/a
Strengths: Fighting, Stealth, Dedication
Weaknesses: Whiny, Aggressive, Brash
Description: A sandy ginger tomcat with darker stripes and amber eyes.

Name: Hollowstep
Gender: Tom
Clan: NightClan
Rank: Warrior
Age: 78 moons
Personality: Hollowstep is an older warrior. He is happy to recount his days of when he was younger and put in his advice when it's called upon. He enjoys spending time with kits and it's rumored that he may be retiring to the elders den sooner or later.
History: Born and raised in NightClan. Did you know that he's older than the SunClan leader? It's true! He's got more commentary on how Clans are run than any cat, but knows that until he retires to the Elders Den, he may not be looked on kindly for his constant prattling. At least as an official elder he'll have the excuse of being old... but he's not quite there yet! He's got a few more moons of patrols left in him yet!
Mate: Open
Kits: n/a
Strengths: Kind, Advisor, Comedian
Weaknesses: Aching Joints, Slow, Getting Old
Description: A dark brown tabby tom with striking green eyes. The insides of his ears, chin and stomach are all white.
Picture: n/a

Name: Thrushstar
Gender: She-Cat
Clan: SunClan
Rank: Leader
Age: 68 moons
Personality: Rational and level-headed, Thrushstar tries to lead SunClan responsibly. Yet she sometimes feels unsure of herself and as a result relies heavily on the aid of her deputy and medicine cat for support and spiritual guidance. Many cats tend to suspect she is weak because she prefers to talk through problems rather than fighting.
History: Thrushstar was born and raised in SunClan. It was through her dedication to the Clan's well being that she became the deputy and then when the former leader unexpectedly lost his last three lives after greencough, she stepped up to the plate to become Thrushstar. Sometimes she still feels nervous, even moons later, but she won't let that get in the way of SunClan's future.
Mate: Open
Kits: n/a

Name: Pigeonsong
Gender: Tom
Clan: SunClan
Rank: Warrior
Age: 18 moons
Personality: Pigeonsong is a nervous nelly, shy and stuttering when he speaks. He got his name as a kit because he's grey, but growing up he was teased for making noises similar to a fluttered bird than a proud SunClan cat. He doesn't like confrontation and hunting doesn't come easily to him because he makes noise when he's anxious... which is all the time. Some part of him wonders if he would make a better kittypet, since he can't seem to act like the perfect warrior.
History: Born and raised in SunClan, Pigeonkit was named for his grey coloring. As an apprentice, he got bullied for his nervous personality and tendency to flinch and stutter in the face of others. He thought things would get better for him after he got his warrior name, but nothing much has changed.
Mate: Open (Toms only plz)
Kits: n/a
Strengths: Fighting, Independent, Compassion

Name: Lightningscar
Gender: Tom
Clan: SunClan
Rank: Warrior
Age: 30 moons
Personality: Dedicated and loyal, Lightningscar is your typical warrior. He tends to fade into the background most days, despite going on patrols consistently. Clearly he's suffering from background character syndrome.
History: Born and raised in SunClan. The only thing that's remarkable about Lightningscar was a result of a battle fighting a badger off of the territory just before he became a warrior. What could have cost him his life only cost him his right eye.
Mate: Open

Strengths: Fighting, Communication, Puns
Weaknesses: 20/20 vision, fishing, hunting

Name: Lightspeckle
Clan: SunClan
Gender: Tom
Rank: Medicine Cat
Age: 24 moons (2 years)
Personality:
A young medicine cat, Lightspeckle often feels unsure of himself and unready for his position. He has a detailed knowledge of medicines and their uses, but he lacks practical skills with wound healing. He has feared blood and violence since he was a kit. Lightspeckle cannot bring himself to attack others, let alone end a life. He chose not to become a warrior because of his inability to fight. He does not want to be the cause of anyone’s suffering and he cannot bear to see others in pain.
In daily life, Lightspeckle generally remains quiet and only speaks when necessary. His voice is low and soothing, only hardening when chiding misbehaving kits. He avoids confrontation if at all possible, preferring to back down and apologize if accused of anything, regardless of whose fault it really is. When others have a disagreement, he knows just what to say to smooth pelts and help both sides make peace.
History:
Lightspeckle was born into SunClan as part of Tinybird’s litter of three: Lightkit, Larchkit, and Lupinekit. He never knew his sister Lupinekit, as she had died within hours of her birth. Lightspeckle’s kithood was happy and bright for the most part. But when he was 4 moons old, his mother’s sister died during kitting. Seared into Lightspeckle’s memories was a sound he could never, ever erase: the long wail of his mother as she rushed out of the Nursery. From that moment onward, Lightspeckle never wanted to see another cat suffer again. He became a medicine cat apprentice so he could do all he could to help others.
While Lightspeckle was quick to learn herbs and healing, his fear of violence made it difficult for him to learn how to treat injuries. When his mentor died suddenly of cancer several moons after he received his medicine cat name, Lightspeckle was left without a guide. He will do his best to care for his clan though, despite his fears and limitations.
Mate: Forbidden, but he may have small crushes. He is bisexual questioning.
Kits: Forbidden.
Strengths: Herbs, making peace, patience, perception (scents and hearing)
Weaknesses: Healing injuries, fighting/hunting, passive, doubts himself
Description:
Lightspeckle is a tall, willowy tom with soft fur and long legs. He is a pale cream tabby with a white face, belly, and legs. Dusty gold stripes descend along the top of his head and chest, with more faded gold stripes along his flank. A soft touch of gray speckles rests on his eartips, toes, and tail-tip. More gray-tipped hairs are scattered throughout his flank and can only be seen when the sunlight hits him at certain angles. Though his eyes are a smooth, slate gray, their expression is almost always one of warmth.

Name: Beetleleaf
Clan: SunClan
Gender: She-cat
Rank: Warrior
Age: 32 moons (2 years, 8 months)
Personality:
Beetleleaf seems to always be on the move, taking on patrols and helping out around camp. With a bright disposition and can-do attitude, she loves to get things done. Giving up is not in her vocabulary. Beetleleaf takes great pride in SunClan’s history of resilience, firmly believing that almost anything can be overcome with determination. Her work ethic sometimes gets her injured or over-exhausted because she does so much. She especially loves to train apprentices and give them the skills to become great warriors.
She prefers not to interact with NightClan cats, as the suspicion that her father was a NightClan warrior still lingers in the back of her mind. She is afraid to hurt them in case they really are her kin. Added on to that is her mild curiosity about the coolness of the shade, the feeling of bark under her paws. Are SunClan and NightClan cats really so different after all?
History:
Beetleleaf’s mother Patchbriar refused to reveal who her kit’s father was, leading many in the clan to believe that he must be a rogue or a NightClan warrior. It did not help that Beetleleaf’s dark fur color made her clearly stand out from the yellow grasses. These rumors persisted for Beetleleaf’s kithood and apprenticehood, before subsiding slowly over the moons. Beetleleaf never paid them any mind. It didn’t matter if she didn’t fit in. Real SunClan warriors can hold their heads high and survive. She proved her loyalty to her clan through her actions, taking great joy in hunting and fighting for her clanmates. Even then, she does sometimes wonder how it would feel to slip into the shadows...
Mate: Open. She is heterosexual.
Kits: None.
Strengths: Tenacity, optimism, hunting, training apprentices
Weaknesses: Fighting, camouflage, jumping, overwork
Description:
A small, obsidian-black she-cat with glossy fur and lithe limbs, Beetleleaf would fit well in the shady undergrowth of NightClan territory. But as a SunClan warrior, her dark fur makes her easily visible in the golden fields. Her small size makes it difficult for her to fight other warriors and jump to catch birds. She has an asymmetrical white spot on the left side of her nose, and two small white blotches on her backside. Her eyes are a vivid leaf green, like her mother’s.

Name: Ribbitpaw (Ribbitbelly)
Clan: NightClan
Gender: Tom
Rank: Apprentice
Age: 9 moons
Personality:
Ribbitpaw is a gentle apprentice, patient and slow-to-anger. He can think of no better way to spend the day than crouching by the lakeside, catching fish with a few flicks of a paw. A patient cat, he doesn’t mind watching prey from the shadows for the perfect moment to strike. He loves eating and sharing tongues. The young apprentice never wants to get in trouble and can be a bit of a stick-in-the-mud when it comes to rules. Ribbitpaw dislikes fighting and will try not to get involved with SunClan. However, if the cats he care about are threatened, he will not hesitate to fight tooth and claw for them.
History:
Ribbitpaw comes from a long line of fishing rogues, who have lived by the lake for generations and fought to defend their right to fish here. He gained his love of the water from his mother, Minnowstream, who loved to tell him vibrant stories of the lake and creeks.
When he was 2 moons old, he and his two littermates fell ill from greencough. His siblings did not survive. Ribbitpaw does not remember them anymore, but he remembers how broken his mother was after losing her kits. He has since become very protective of his mother and will do whatever he can to make her happy.
Mate: Open, when he is older. He is heterosexual.
Kits: None.
Strengths: Fishing, camouflage, patience, loyalty
Weaknesses: Climbing trees, gullible, rule-follower, large appetite
Description:
Ribbitpaw is a large, gray-brown tabby tom with a cream-colored belly. His fur is rather short, but shaggy on his chest and belly. This longer fur makes him look pudgier than he actually is. His tufted fur sticks out everywhere, often matted with mud from all the time he spends in the water. The tabby stripes on his pelt are dark and wide, like the markings on the back of some frogs. He has darker stripes on the outer edge of his eyes. His eyes are a murky hazel, with muddy brown in the center and an olive green outer ring.
