Quest Number: #3. Which of your cats has the funniest backstory? What is it?
Response:

John Smith, the janitor, was staring at nothing, and thinking about what meal he could microwave tonight as he rode the bus home from work.
Pay cuts, his boss had mentioned that the company was investing in machines to do his job for him. His career was looking mighty bleak, he might have to find a new job, but these mega-corporations were all the same to him anyways. As long as it paid the bills, as long as he and his mother could live a reasonably comfortable life, he wasn’t looking for anything glamorous, he didn’t need to be special. Frankly, he was quite satisfied being one of the many faceless masses, inconsequential in the grand scheme of things. It was a comfort, no one was counting on him, he could just do his own thing.

Ah! But life could never be so sweet and simple. Not when one is a cartoon character. I’m sure all of us except John himself are aware of what sort of a story this is leading up to.

Blissfully unaware of a future he could never dare to conceive, our naive protagonist stepped off the bus and started on his way for a pit stop at the public restrooms. But before he made it, he was swept aside by a cat draped in shadows.
“Is this a mugging?” He squints tiredly at them, trying to get a read on the situation. “What do you want, this half eaten orange and a 20? I really don’t want to miss my shuttle, the next one’ll have me home after midnight…”
“Are you John Smith?” The figure asks
“The one and only.” The humor of this joke seems to go over the stranger’s head.
“You’ll be coming with me.”
“Schedule an appointment with my receptionist.” He turns to leave, but with a buzz and a dizzying flash, he finds himself somewhere entirely new. No longer amidst the bustle of the transportation plaza, sheer silence. It’s just the two of them in a plain gray room with no windows or doors. This is the first sign that maybe he’s gotten into something serious.

“First, I must bring to your attention the existence of the multiverse.” This is the second sign, that maybe he’s gotten into something extremely serious.
“Right, so you’re crazy.”
“Perhaps, but this is irrelevant. Now, don’t interrupt me.”
“You kidnapped me-“
“AhEM- What I am trying to explain is the secret of the universe, it’s kind of important so pay attention.”
John takes a breath in to say something else.. But-
“The more you interrupt me, the longer this will take.”
“You win.”
“This multiverse is all encompassing, it is reality. This entire universe that we’re currently in, is one of countless just like it. These different planes, or dimensions, have branched off from each other during cataclysm events across the eons. Some are almost exactly the same, some have vast changes, and some are entirely alien.”
“Skip to the point. I watch sci-fi sometimes, I get it.”
“Well, fine then. Context aside, I take it you agree to be the sole defender of the multiverse?”
“What?”
“Shall I continue as I was?”
“Fine.”

They take a deep breath in, set out to continue their certainly very important story. “A common thing seen across these dimensions, is dopplegangers-“
“Paperhangers?”
“What? No, dopplegangers, like, copies of the same person, but slightly different, reflected on eachother between time and space.”
“That’s called having kids.”
“What did I say about interrupting me?” Well, John thought it was funny. “In the dimension I hail from, I knew you. Not, this you of course. But a different version of you, a hero, a defender of justice, a savior. And together we set out to do what no one else would. Protect the universe from any threats to the delicate balance between dimensions as awareness of their existence grew. Unfortunately my dear John Smith is no longer with us. But his legacy must live on. No one could ever replace him, but you, you are him.”

This story is so absurd, so silly, that John actually laughs, right in their face! “Well there’s a million John Smiths!? I’m not cut out for this and I don’t want to be! Go find someone else to torment with your crazy sci-fi story!?”
“You’re not… interested in the offer? But, John Smith has always been a hero…” It’s at this point that confusion flips vice versa.
“Probably a different John Smith! I ain’t a hero, just some guy trying to make a living!”
“I see, I seem to have made a critical error.”
“Great! We’re at an understanding! Can I please go home now? I have some mac and cheese just waiting to go in the microwave!”
“Well… I’ve already explained the situation to you. Uh. This is very sensitive information that you are now aware of.” The mysterious powerful aura seems to be melting away as they falter.
“So? You say you’re from another dimension! You teleported us here! Just wipe my memory and send me on my way!”
“Er- I don’t… have that technology.”
“A good ol’ frying pan will do the trick! C’mon man, it doesn’t matter, I literally don’t care about ANY of this! I just want to go home!”
“You make it sound very simple. I hope you can make use of this skill when fixing issues across the multiverse.” Their composure is regained!
“And what if I don’t? What if I refuse. Because I have no intention of doing any of this!”
“Well… if no one stops the threats against all existence… then I guess yourself, along with everyone you know and love will die a horrible death and life itself will end?”
“Damn, that’s a fair point-“ Pause “Hey! Wait, no! Someone else can do it! Literally anyone else! I don’t care- why don’t you do it!?”
“I do my best, but protecting the entirety of existence is not a one person job. It’s a two person job.”
“Okay- well, you said that you’re just looking for a me from a different universe right? So go find another me from another universe!”
“Wonderful, another showcase of your problem solving nature.”
“Yes, well I am a maintenance man- so go take my advice and harass another me!”
“There’s…. An issue with your plan.” … No elaboration.
“Well? Spit it out!”
“They’re all unfortunately deceased, you’re the last John Smith I was able to find.”
“I know like, ten John Smiths.”
“I mean, that are dopplegangers of the original hero. Of which I have now confirmed that you are.”
“Okay, well, you’re declining to mention how literally every other me wound up dead. It really doesn’t make your offer more enticing AND when it gets me killed too, you’re still gonna have the same problem as if I’d never agreed in the first place!”
“All very good points, just like the original, you’ll make a fine protector of the universe.”
“I was your last choice.”
“That’s besides the point!”

And after a great deal more debate, it seems that our dear friend John here, has been promoted from boring corporate janitor… to…. janitor of the multiverse! Insert magical girl transformation here!

Quest Number: 1
Response:

On the first new moon of Summer each year a newly appointed warrior is chosen as a sacrifice to Great Light Bug Swarm. It is a cloud of flickering glowing bugs that passed through a specific field near the edge of Marsh Clan’s territory every year, at the same time. Kits and apprentices who rarely left camp unaccompanied, let alone at night, never had the chance to see them, leaving newly appointed warriors ripe for the picking for clan pranksters. The warrior would be told fantastical tales of the glowing bugs being the most delicious thing in the world, and how only one new warrior was chosen each year to eat them alongside the seasoned members of the clan that knew where to find them. In truth, these bugs tasted terrible, with the acidic flavor lingering on the tongue for at least a day or two depending on the number eaten. But they caused no lasting harm, and as such a tradition was born, with every pranked cat looking to pass on the tradition to the next generation. At the end of the day, the sight of the bugs was still something to behold, and usually they kept a prey item nearby to help mute the taste; after they’ve had a laugh of course.

Quest Number: 3
Response:

Chipmunk had at some time been convinced by her siblings that she was, well, a chipmunk. With her rounded cheeks and ears, she looked nothing like her family. Her mother insisted she looked just like her grandfather, but she’d never met her grandfather, and who was to say that he wasn’t a chipmunk?? At the time it made sense, she always said in defense of herself, not that it helped her case. Ultimately, it was only after she set out on her own to find her ‘real’ family that she realized her siblings had just been messing with her, which involved her scaring a bunch of squirrels and other rodents and likely making hunting harder for a few days.

Clan: The Marshland Settlement // The Alliance

Quest Number: 1
Response: Every day on the first snow in The Alliance (post-reformation), it’s tradition to literally drop whatever you’re doing and go outside to play for the rest of the day. The tradition was suggested by a mediator named Zweite to reduce post-war tensions, and includes anything from building snowcats to snowball fights. Doesn’t matter if you’re a child in training, doesn’t matter if you’re a grown adult selling things on market street, doesn’t matter if you’re an envoy trying to negotiate a diplomacy deal - you will get your tail outside and you will play, starsdamnit!

Word Count: Not exactly my silliest cat but this was too fitting for her 😭 Asphodelpaw as that one pathetic (affectionately) animal jam emoji

Quest Number: 3
Response: The cat with the funniest backstory in either of my clans is probably Swamp Lily tbh. She just kinda Showed Up in the marsh one day as a feral preteen covered in moss and absolutely soaking wet, scared a few little kids, and then Towering Fir (the leader) met with the entire council like “okay guys what do we do about the bog monster that won’t go home.” 15 minutes of discussion and 1 hour of bog monster hunting later, Towering Fir had a gross soggy daughter and the Settlement now had a brand new, and surprisingly really loyal and good, scout! Originally Towering Fir was just a little bit (very) annoyed that he was the one assigned to be Swamp “Can She Stay Dry For Five Minutes?!” Lily’s guardian, but following her choice to move into the Alliance to be with Mendhak and Zweite following the war he totally did not cry so hard.

Quest Number: 1
Response:

[Cats Featured: Oakstar [npc], Erminestar, Bearstar, Tulipstar, Cliffstar [npc], Coralstar [npc] and Halibutstar [npc]]

The Clans of Sunvalley do not have any knowledge or belief of StarClan in their lore, so- why are leaders called "Star"?
How the tradition started is not entirely known, but, cats throughout the world use star related terms to denoted leadership- possibility related to the northern star being used as a compass!

Now, in current times, the leaders of the clans wear star reminiscent items to show rank.

ShoalClan is the oldest clan in Sunvalley. They have a king- who wears a seaweed laurel with a starfish at the center. They also have a queen- she wears a starfish centered pearl-and-twine necklace. The pearls have been being collected and added to this over generations.

PhloxClan moved here from across the mountains. They wear their flower- the mountain phlox, either by their ear or shoulder. It is sort of star like in shape and suffices well enough, and this began to try and match their new borders at gatherings, so they don't take it as seriously. They also have two leaders- one who leads hunts, the other who leads the guard patrols to mark and protect territory and camp.

LeveeClan formed before PhloxClan arrived, from cats of ShoalClan in a ages old, almost nigh forgotten civil war. LeveeClan moved to a territory near humans and shares a mixed relationship to mankind for a few generations. On their founding, the original leader brought two human stars- compared them to how ShoalClan wore the starfish- and thus, the leader and their second-in-command would wear a 'sheriff' and 'deputy' star respectively.

The newest clan is RavineClan... they formed from LeveeClan, and stole the deputy star on leaving, which now their first leader, Erminestar, wears. His wife and second leader, Bearstar, wears a mixture of stolen traditions from the others- phlox flowers and a starfish.
