Sunclan
The Wise and Courageous
(This allegiance post is the starting allegiance.
Here is the up-to-date document.)
Lore:
Sunclan is a small and new clan situated in a verdant swath of forest, somewhat far from any twoleg settlement. It contains a host of former rogues, loners, and cats from other clans as well as a few clan-born cats. The founder and current leader Sunstar (formerly Sunflight) spent much of his youth, adventuring with his best friends: Mousestep and Darkspots.
Mousestep and Sunflight were born in a clan known as Treeclan. However, a forest fire destroyed their home and separated them from their clan right after they were given their warrior names. After moons of traveling and hunting together, they met a young, burly tom named Darkspots who claimed to be a run-away from Riverclan. They had assumed he had come from a dark past as they had, but after a while, they realized that he was simply interested in adventure. Darkspots gave their lives new meaning. The goal in life wasn't just simply to survive but to have fun and find companionship. Together, they went on many fun adventures and met many interesting cats and creatures. Those were the good old days.
Eventually, however, Darkspots found a mate in a clan called Thornclan and (very shockingly) settled down and had a family. With their group separated, Mousestep and Sunflight decided they would settle down too and try their paw at making a clan. Thornclan wasn't for them but maybe Sunclan would be.
To this day, Thornclan and Sunclan remain in close contact. Although they do not compete for territory and are actually fairly distant from each other, messages are sent between clans periodically. According to the last message, Darkspots has become Darkstar and taken on the roll of leader.
Although the clan is called Sunclan, their camp is within a cave, and the forest can be rather gloomy, especially during leaf-bare.
(Ok, so this clan lore may or may not be very loosely based on the stories me and my friends came up with in our warriors roleplay when I was a kid... It's also a call-back to my last clan on the old thread, Thornclan, which also may or may not be based on the same thing... So in other words, this stuff is nostalgic for me... I was Mousestep btw... in our rps...)
Allegiance:
Leader:
Sunstar - 80 Moons (9/9 Lives)
Slender golden tom and former warrior of Treeclan. He's incredibly wise from his many moons of travel. He's also fairly kind, generous, and intelligent. All-around, he's very well-rounded and virtuous. He was said to be very impulsive in his youth, but very few can believe it.
Relationships: Best Friend = Mousestep
Deputy:
Mousestep - 80 Moons
Small brown and white she-cat and former warrior of Treeclan. She's very sharp-tongued and sarcastic, a bit of contrast from Sunstar. She got her name for her swiftness and cunningness in battle, and she is still as strong and swift as she was in her youth.
Relationships: Best Friend = Sunstar
Medicine Cat:
Sycamore - 46 Moons
A dark gray tom and former loner, who has chosen to keep his original name. He is said to be very wise, but unlike Sunstar, he is rather cold and calculating. However, he is good as a medicine cat.
Relationships: None
Apprentice:
Snailpaw - 9 Moons
A cream tabby she-cat who was left behind by her rogue parents. She is said to be somewhat of a nerd about herbs. She likes them organized in a very certain way, much to Sycamore's chagrin.
Relationships: None
Warriors:
Asphodelcloud - 98 Moons
A long-furred grey and white she-cat and a former warrior of Treeclan. She discovered Sunclan by accident and knew immediately that she had to join because she knew the leader was once a Treeclan warrior. She's a moon-hardened warrior who has seen it all and more. She's extremely loyal to Sunclan and would not tolerate any sort of enemy invasion or even worse, mutiny.
Relationships: Son = Wolfheart
Apprentice: Sedgepaw
Wolfheart - 63 Moons
A scruffy gray tom and former rogue. He was given a warrior name by his mother at birth to honor her warrior past. He is as loyal and tough as his mother as is. However, he does have a sense of humor and smiles much more often than she does.
Relationships: Mother = Asphodelcloud
Apprentice = Hazelpaw
Cosmo - 70 Moons
A black tom and a former kittypet, who has chosen to keep his name after running away from home. Cosmo is very friendly and a bit mischievous but not enough to pose any harm to the clan.
Relationships: Mate = Sparrowbreeze; Children = Hazelpaw, Batpaw, and Sedgepaw
Sparrowbreeze - 58 Moons
A calico she-cat from Thornclan. She is very young at heart and brave. She's also very ambitious about her tree-climbing abilities. She wants to be the most skilled-tree climber in the territory.
Relationships: Mate = Cosmo; Children = Hazelpaw, Batpaw, and Sedgepaw
Basilwhisker - 30 Moons
Tall gray tabby tom with pronounced whiskers from Thornclan. Although it's been several moons since he, his sister, and Sparrowbreeze decided to move from Thornclan for a new life, he's still a bit wary of this whole new clan thing. Call him a worry worm but up-ending their lives after only a short conversation about moving may not have been the best idea. Nothing has gone wrong yet, but it's better to be safe than sorry.
Relationships: Sister = Quickfoot
Quickfoot - 30 Moons
Slender white she-cat from Thornclan. She is very inquisitive, especially about Starclan and clan politics. She tries to be as open-minded and principled as possible, but she is not perfect.
Relationships: Brother = Basilwhisker; Best Friend and Crush = Truffletuft
Apprentice = Batpaw
Truffletuft - 26 Moons
A tuxedo she-cat and a former loner. She admires Sunstar and Mousestep very much and loves listening to their stories of adventure and heroism. She is spunky, bright, and ambitious. She hopes to be leader one day.
Relationships: Best Friend = Quickfoot
Apprentices:
Hazelpaw - 10 Moons
Tortoiseshell She-cat, born of Sunclan. She is a very sarcastic she-cat, who very often seems bored of everything, to the point of nihilism. She is doing just enough to keep her warrior training going smoothly.
Relationships: Parents = Cosmo and Sparrowbreeze; Brothers = Batpaw and Sedgepaw
Mentor = Wolfheart
Batpaw - 10 Moons
Black tom, born of Sunclan. He's a bit erratic and very excited about his warrior training, a little too excited.
Relationship: Parents = Cosmo and Sparrowbreeze; Siblings = Hazelpaw and Sedgepaw
Mentor: Quickfoot
Sedgepaw - 10 Moons
(Infertile) Calico Tom, born of Sunclan. He is very quiet, observant, and intelligent. His mentor says he has an old soul.
Relationships: Parents = Cosmo and Sparrowbreeze; Siblings = Hazelpaw and Batpaw
Mentor: Asphodelcloud
Queens:
Mango - 15 Moons
Orange tabby she-cat and a former Kittypet, who has kept her name. She ran away after her owner bred her and tried to take away her kits as soon as they were born. She fled with the two kits she could carry and has been nurturing them in Sunclan. She is very fierce and hopes to train as a warrior beside her kits when the time comes.
Relationships: Kits = Hopekit (white tom - 2 moons) and Sweetkit (cream she-kit - 2 moons)
Elders:
Snakefang - 130 Moons
Scruffy Tuxedo tom and former deputy of Treeclan. Just as Asphodelcloud did, he found the clan by accident. He is said to have once been fierce and brave, but his age makes it difficult to see that. Now, he just tells stories of the good, old days when Treeclan was at its greatest.
Relationships: None (but he does have several friends)

Sunclan Times
News from the Wise and Corageous
Roll: 66
Asphodelcloud is suddenly expecting kits. Sycamore is worried because she seems a bit old to be having kits, so he will support her through this. No one knows the father, but everyone assumes it must be a rogue, a loner, or possibly that messenger from Thornclan.
Quickfoot has had a crush on Truffletuft for 0 moons.

Roll: 5
A hunting patrol was attacked by a badger. The warriors fought valiantly for their lives, but unfortunately, [b]Basilwhisker[/b] passed away.
Asphodelcloud, her belly swelling with kits, moved to the Queens' Den. Sedgepaw will be mentored by Sunstar from now on, due to the low amount of warriors.
-----
Lore bits/Prose:
The battle-scarred she-cat settled down beside the soft tabby and watched as Hopekit and Sweetkit chased each other around the den.
Mango, the soft tabby, curled in on herself, glancing at Asphodelcloud and at her kits and back again.
Asphodelcloud opened her mouth and then hesitated before saying, "You know, I've had many kits in my day. This litter will be as easy as swallowing a minnow."
Mango perked her ears up at that. "Easy as what?"
Asphodelcloud glanced at her, fur prickling slightly. "Never mind."
They watched the kits playing for several more minutes, both she-cats' tails flicking back and forth, until finally, the kits decided to move their play outside.
Mango looked at Asphodelcloud again. "When I say this, I mean no offense, but I'm a bit worried about your age."
Asphodelcloud gave her a side-eye. "What do you mean my age?"
"It's just that... um, you are a bit old to be having kits. That's all."
Asphodelcloud flicked her tail bombastically. "I'll have you know that I am as strong and capable of having kits as when I was your age."
"That's great. Wonderful."
"I've had more kits than you have stripes on your pelt."
"Good to know. Sorry for mentioning it."
"You're best off being sorry, you inexperienced..."
Asphodelcloud kept going as Mango wished more and more that she was a turtle instead of a cat. That way she could duck away from this conversation. She knew better now than to provoke the grizzly she-cat.

[color=transparent]>>>[/color][font=Cambria][size=6][b]The Meadowlands Clan[/b]
[/size][size=4][color=slategrey][i]Extended rule set; Green-Leaf; 2nd year; 4th moon; 19 clan members; Post last updated on 24/4/22.[/i][/color]
Often abbreviated simply as 'Meadowclan', this clan is a peaceful place, located in the fields on and between an old abandoned twoleg farm, and a forest called the Hobwood. Cats of this clan are particularly known for their tall tales and love of storytelling, as well as physical traits, including long fur and and short, blunt claws. The trust of these cats takes time and patients to earn, but those who are friends with Meadowclan cats are well-cherished and adored.
Though The Meadowlands Clan was once the only nearby warrior clan, themany stray and loner cats nearby have recently formed a group of their own, calling it 'Lilyclan'. They seem to have made camp in the dangerous Hobwood, in which grows the poisonous Lily of the Valley, the plant for which they are named. Currently, tensions between the two clans are high, but Daisystar hopes that they can make peace before any more blood is shed.

[LIST]
[*] Seasons last 3 moons (season changes on the 4th moon).
[*] Cat gestation lasts 3 moons (kits are born on the 4th moon). Number of kits is obtained by randomly generating a number between 1 and 5.
[*] Kits become apprentices at 6 moons.
[*] When a [i]warrior[/i] apprentice reaches 12 moons, roll to see if they become a warrior or not! If even, they get their warrior name. If odd, they don't, and must retake their assessment next moon! They automatically become warriors at 16 moons.
[*] When a [i]medicine[/i] apprentice reaches 16 moons, follow the same rules used for warrior apprentices (found above). If they reach 20 moons, they automatically become medicine cats.
[*] A warrior can become an elder when they reach 120 moons. Whether they decide to take the offer or not is up to them, however. (This rule does not include the leader, deputy, and med cats without another med cat to take their place.)
[*] When an elder (this includes all cats who are over 120 moons, even if they're still active as warriors, med cats, or deputies) reaches 165 moons, roll for a number. If that number is even, they can live another moon. If it's odd, they die. Womp womp.

Sorry in advance if this is written/formatted poorly, I'm braindead right now and have read over this at least 15 times in the last half hour lmao. Let me know if there's ever a typo in something I write, or a part of it is worded weirdly. Anyway, this is an awesome idea for a game! Bringing back memories from my warriors phase, and I love making fanclans and ocs. Good grief I have so many ocs...
>>>The Meadowlands Clan
Extended rule set; Green-Leaf; 2nd year; 4th moon; 19 clan members; Post last updated on 24/4/22.
Often abbreviated simply as 'Meadowclan', this clan is a peaceful place, located in the fields on and between an old abandoned twoleg farm, and a forest called the Hobwood. Cats of this clan are particularly known for their tall tales and love of storytelling, as well as physical traits, including long fur and and short, blunt claws. The trust of these cats takes time and patients to earn, but those who are friends with Meadowclan cats are well-cherished and adored.
Though The Meadowlands Clan was once the only nearby warrior clan, themany stray and loner cats nearby have recently formed a group of their own, calling it 'Lilyclan'. They seem to have made camp in the dangerous Hobwood, in which grows the poisonous Lily of the Valley, the plant for which they are named. Currently, tensions between the two clans are high, but Daisystar hopes that they can make peace before any more blood is shed.
>Leader
Daisystar
She/her, 71 moons, 8/9 lives remaining.
A spotted white and grey molly, with short tufted fur that is often somewhat muddy, due to her love of digging. She has a fairly relaxed and friendly personality, and is well respected within her clan.

>Deputy
Milkfur
He/him, 53 moons.
This cat has a milky cream pelt, with white paws and faint tabby markings. He can seem stubborn at times, but it's clear that he cares deeply about his family and clanmates. He enjoys mock-fighting with his siblings, and exploring clan territory.

>Medicine Cat
Dapplespirit
She/her, 24 moons.

>Warriors
Nighttail
He/him, 63 moons.
An almost entirely black tom, save for two spots on his nose and chest, Nighttail is a chronic worrier, who tends to overthink most things, and has been known to ramble, especially about his anxieties. However this does not mean he isn't a valued clan member, and one of the best hunters in the clan.
Family: Nettleheart (mate), Dipperwing (deceased), Robinclaw, Starlingkit (deceased), Sorrelpaw, Thicketpaw (kits).

Peonylight
She/her, 71 moons.
A white she-cat with bluish-lilac eyes, and grey pale backpaws. She can come off as rather rude and snarky, putting up a mask to hide her own insecurities, but does let the mask slip for a select few. Peonylight enjoys sunbathing in the fields, and catching mice by the abandoned farm.
Family: Daisystar (sister), Snowstream (father), Latebird (mother). Crush: Dovewisp (deceased). Friends: Nettleheart, Dovewisp (deceased).
Sunflight
He/him, 53 moons.
A golden furred tabby cat, with a long fluffy tail and a handsome face.

He's not all that though, as his siblings like to frequently remind him with relentless teasing.
Family: Milkfur, Skyrunner, (brothers) Dovewisp (sibling, deceased).
Skyrunner
He/him, 53 moons.

Robinclaw
He/him, 25 moons.

Solarflare
She/her, 16 moons.
A small blackish-grey colored cat, with a white mark on her forehead that somewhat resembles a star. She has striking yellow eyes, and has a curious, excitable, and passionate personality. Although she has no wish to learn medicine, she still looks up to Dapplespirit and sees her as a role model.
Friends: Dapplespirit.
Bob
He/him, 49 moons.
A plain grey tom, who just kind of... showed up. Formerly a kittypet from the twoleg place, he was left behind after his owners passed away. He really enjoys food, and has found wild prey a huge improvement on his old, dry kibble.
