A New Hope ☀ Discussion Thread ☀ Not Accepting

[Cradily]

So just to keep everything condensed, I'm going to make a list of all of the kits of my own characters that have already been claimed. However, for the ones that haven't yet, Cas and I decided that because there are so many characters that are unlikely to be taken, we're just going to assign random names and genders to most of the unclaimed ones and either send them to StarClan or have them be in-clan NPCs. I'm only going to be doing this for the kits of my own cats of course, and if you guys having any objections to these decisions or decide you want to play one of these characters after all, feel free to say so! There's just a few too many characters for me to discuss with everyone individually what happened to our characters' kits, so hopefully you understand. ^^; I also encourage you guys, if any of your kit characters aren't taken by the time the roleplay begins, to just name and gender them and add them either to the dead or living NPC list, just to keep things simple. Anywho...

Southstar and Oatleaf's: 2 claimed by Queen of flames, 45 moons

As I said earlier, I encourage you all to do the same with your own unclaimed kit characters before the rp begins, just so we don't have a bunch of unknown, nameless cats floating around the clans, if that makes sense. I also strongly encourage that if you have made/are planning to make entirely new characters whose parents were never in the original rp, consider taking up any offers of letting them be the kits or grand-kits of pre-existing characters, for continuity purposes, that way we can try to have as few retcons/family tree gaps as possible c:

On that note, feel free to use any of my above NPCs (dead or living) as your characters' parents/grandparents. Looks like Poppyspring and Mudshadow are also available to fill in any family tree gaps!

If you guys have any questions or objections to any of this or if I missed something please let me know!

Fog and Gorse could be shoved into family trees as kits or grandkids if anyone thinks they would work in theirs, if not I might shove the npc’s into theirs lol

[Tainted~Wings]

I'll take a kit from another litter if needed

[Cradily]

@Amnesia, that sounds good c: I noticed they're a bit fluffy similar to Sunflare and Creamflower and their kits, would you maybe want one of their parents (Cloudfur perhaps?) to either be Poppyspring's kit, or a kit from Sun and Cream's second litter? And maybe Sandstrike could be the kit of Mudshadow? If all that's okay with CJ and/or Stormy of course~

@Tainted, if you want, go for it! I actually completely forgot to add the rest of Sun and Cream's second litter, so you could either take a kit from theirs (they'd be 47 moons) or any of the other litters mentioned in the previous posts. Feel free to skim through them and pick one from whichever litter you'd like. x) No pressure if not though.

@Cradily
CloudFur could be from Cream and Sun’s second litter and I’d be cool with SandStrike being MudShadow’s kit as long as everyone’s okay with it :>

[stormythecloud]

@Amnesia; Yeah I'm good with Sandstrike being Mudshaow's kit ^-^
Least he had some kits before his passing

[Cradily]

Sounds good! @Stormy, do you have any idea who you would've wanted Mudshadow's mate to be? Just so we can try to fill in the family tree. x)

[stormythecloud]

Sure, let's go Mudshadow's mate being Mallowfang. Hopefully that works given their ages?

Two announcements;

Thunder is Sorrelfeather's mate and her litters father prior to her death. The litter did briefly meet him once when they were just old enough for her to quickly take them outside of camp at night but not old enough to really remember either.

Mistflower and Tigerblaze ended up having kits but aren't mates. We are working on the age but they had 3, I am claiming one so that leaves 2 either to anyone who would like to play them or to become NPC's but want to give everyone that option. They mostly had kits together due to the fact Mistflower wanted a family while Tigerblaze only agreed because he wanted his legacy to live on. Their kits mostly know Tigerblaze as someone to strongly please as he has high expectations, not so much as a father but know that he is their father. Mistflower and Tigerblaze get along but also get into bitter arguments still, they're not exactly friends but no longer enemies.

I'm honestly very excited to see what CreamxSun's 2nd litter of kits will look like! I was excited for their 1st litter and now I'm even more excited for this litter! <3

Also thank you for informing us about the overcrowd of new kits Cradily! I think it makes sense in a way!

[C a s]

@stormy, great, so we decided Dapple will be in the nursery with their current litter and that they had one before, yes?
Do you wanna do half of our NPC kit and I'll do the rest?

Also, announcement: for a lot of the NPC characters, Cradily and I have agreed a six-month period of bad illness tearing through the Clans would have killed most of them. Cradily (the goddess that she is) is gonna take care of sorting out who makes sense to have died from the illness to thin NPC numbers a bit. I'm gonna play into the illness that killed a couple of Willow's siblings, since that's been mentioned!

@Cradily great job with the list, a perfectly organized as ever I see <3
