COVECLAN SIGN UP
Teritory

Deep in the heart of the Great Bear Rainforest on the northern coast of British Columbia, Canada, Coveclan makes their home in an old hollow tree. This hollow tree has stood as long as the clan can ever remember. It was once predicted, by a famous medicine cat, that the destiny of the clan is so intertwined within the very branches of this ancient tree that the prosperity of the clan would fail when the tree itself falls.

Bellow is an image of the camp lay out. The red circle is the leader’s den. The orange circle is the medicine cat’s den. The purple circle is the nursery den. The blue circle is the elder’s den. The yellow circle is the warrior’s den. The green circle is the apprentice den.

To the west of the camp lies the salt water cove that is directly connected to the ocean at its mouth, further towards the westward forest. Primarily wolves, bears, seals, sea birds and tide pool invertebrates inhabit this region, however, occasionally a variety of whales can be seen within the deeper portions of the cove with their calves in the birthing season. Once upon a time a mischievous apprentice even reported a shark in the depths of the cove but it was never verified. To this day mothers and mentors alike use the threats of sharks to keep young cats from straying too far in the water. To the north of the cove the salt water meets fresh water in a cold water stream.

From the north west to the east of the camp runs a long cold water stream. Towards the west it is deep and perilous but towards the east it is shallow and narrow. During the spring and fall different varieties of salmon and trout spawn and run in this stream. During the summer the warmer eastern section of the river which connects to a shallow warm beaver pond bears pike and muskalunge fish as well as bass, sunfish and minnows.

To the east of the camp lies a shallow beaver pond inhabited by territorial family of beavers. This is an excellent place to fish but it is a forbidden place for apprentices as an angry beaver is not an opponent an unexperianced cat should face alone.

Finally to the south of the camp is the heart of the Great Bear Rainforest. This pristine old growth northern temperate rainforest is both dark and terrifying while also being beautiful and serene. It is a place where most creatures would get lost but it is a place all cats of this clan learn to know better than their own tails even before their warrior ceremonies. Many dangers live here but also many amazing, beautiful and mysterious creatures.

Beartuft is currently in the running for the deputy slot but if you would like to compete for the position you can post your application and I will consider it. We do not reserve ranks as this is a seni-advanced RP and the application with the best writing and plot potential will be given the high rank. If you want to apply for the deputy position I will wait for your application so don't feel the need to rush.

Apprentices don't need to be reserved though I may close the application for apprentices after you so that they will have enough warriors to mentor them all.

Mk.. I didn't mean 'reserve' as in reserve it and not let ANYONE else be it, or anything like that. I just meant, 'reserve' a try-out form for me... I guess, if that makes sense- since I figured they're would be a form of 'try-outs' for the rank, considering its deputy.
Thanks though! I will try to finish the form in a reasonable amount of time. Honestly- considering that I am having a 'RP-Slump' in a way, its a possibility the form will be bad, so it would be cool if I provided a RP sample, to prove that I am not just a bad RPer pretending to be literate and advance. Because I'm not.
I did take my ADD meds just a little while ago, so I think I will be focused soon, so maybe the whole 'RP-Slump' won't be a problem... Though, if I post the form and it does turn out to be bad, you can ask me to add an RP sample or send you one in PM, to prove my literacy.

ah, yes. In that case I am happy to wait. That's the "rule of thumb" that we've been going with. When someone applies for a high rank we wait 3 days, to be fair and see if someone else shows interest in applying for the same position. Beartuft applied yesterday so you're in the clear. :) I'll give you 3 days to at least start your form but if the form isn't touched for 3 days after that we'll move on and accept someone else. RP samples are not mandatory but I'm happy to accept them too. Good luck with your application!

Speaking of the 3 day rule... Looks like Owlpaw will be getting the med. cat apprentice slot! Congrats! Furthermore since no one else has shown interest in the Med. cat position I feel confident in choosing that slot today as well... Congratulations Porcupinetooth! I look forward to interacting with both of your characters in-game.

Oh I'm so sorry Kiannia I literally just accepted Porcupinetooth as the med. cat apprentice before you posted this. It would be unfair to revoke her rank now. You should have told me you were working on this and I would have waited. :( I'm sorry.

"Courage- above all things- is the first and greatest quality of a warrior, kit!! Not strength."

Name:
Rowanflame
Reason for name:
Growing up, Rowanflame was noticed as a rather... fiery one at birth. Stubborn, hothead, brave, rebellious, adventurous. Everyone knew he was a fighter from birth, as he was eager to train since the day he could talk. Because of this personality, near the end of his apprenticeship, he did end up having a major part in a battle, in helping it win- therefore, he was given the suffix 'flame' as a sort of illustration and symbolization of his personality. As for 'Rowan', he was given it as a kit for his dark ginger fur, named after the rowan trees
Easier Explanation;
~ Rowan; dark ginger fur, like rowan tree
~ Flame; Fiery personality. Stubborn, hotheaded (yet able to keep it in), brave/courageous, rebellious, adventurous, leader-like, passionate, traits like that.
Age:
26 moons
Sex:
Tom
Sexual orientation:
Heterosexual
Rank:
Deputy. (Warrior if declined)
Appearance:
Picture Above! ^^ Source
Extra Traits:
~ Height; 17 inches
~ Weight; 18 pounds
~ Length; 48 inches
~ Notes; Overall, Rowan is like a beast among cats, being as large as the giant breed, Maine Coon, can get.
Personality:
Rowanflame is a determined and hard-working individual, who always takes his clan duties very seriously. The tom has a rather fiery personality, hence his suffix 'flame'. He is very stubborn, quite hotheaded, loyal, brave/courageous. Considering some of his past, the tom is very reserved, but if you do manage to break the stone called his heart, he is loving and protective, to the ones he loves. On the inside, he is slightly insecure and doesn't believe himself to be the best, which is why the deputy ceremony took the tom by surprise as he was named deputy by LIttlewhisker. Given his great quantity of fighting experience- since he trained very hard and rather violently/ruthlessly- he is a very good mentor, and trains his apprentices strict and harsh, yet good, as they grow up and turn to be great and loyal warriors. Adding to this, the tom has very 'leader-like' traits, and he makes sure that the apprentices he trains know that not everything is about winning and that bravery and courage first of all is the greatest quality for a warrior, and not strength- hence his quote/saying- which is slightly ironic, considering his size and strength. The orange tom ended up getting a few good traits from both parents. Silversplash; he got her charming personality. And from his model-warrior father, Blazeheart? Well, he got both the good and bad stuff from him; extraordinary strength, large size (though he is slightly larger than his father was at this age), handsome features, charming personality, but also his secret insecurity (though his father's wasn't as bad), and the fact that they both tend to get too passionate when it comes to loved ones, such as getting angry when something happens to a loved one, or if a loved one is threatened.
History:
Rowankit was born to a beautiful, silver queen named Silversplash and a massive, handsome, model-warrior by the name of Blazeheart, and was born alongside a sister and a brother. At birth, his rather lanky brother was named Sparrowkit, and the beautiful sister was named Mistykit. Among them, Rowankit got both his mother and father's charming personality, also his father's size, strength, handsome features- but he also got a loving and protective very deep personality, that is hidden in the smallest part of his heart, only coming out for certain loved ones. Sparrowkit got his mother's slender, his own kind of lanky body, yet their father's good looks and training ability. And Mistykit? Well, Mistykit got their mother's beautiful looks, her slender and graceful body, and she got her father's charming personality.

For them, the 6 moons before apprenticeship took forever. As a kit, Rowankit trained a lot, for his father was his role-model, typically, so he trained as best he could during kithood, even if it meant he didn't play as much. Despite this, he was one of the biggest kits the clan had ever seen, and he was very feisty and 'warrior-like' as a kit, so a lot of the others liked him. Then the day of apprenticeship came. Yes! It was one of the best days of his life. First, his siblings got their mentors, Sparrowkit/paw getting a senior warrior and Mistykit/paw getting a more younger yet good warrior as a mentor, and finally it was his turn. To very, very few, the choice was surprising, but to most, basically everyone, it was expected. The kit got his father, Blazeheart- the pride of the Clan, the best warrior in the Clan- as his mentor. Things were looking great for him.

For moons, the two trained ruthlessly and rather violently, but the training was very great, turning Rowanpaw into a very good warrior, his father even saying, 'He's the best warrior I ever seen', and it was true, at least most thought. Finally the day come where he would be tested and turned to a warrior. The test was rather easy, and he passed with, well let's just say, 'flying colors'. Then the meeting happened and the three were named warriors. Sparrowpaw to Sparrowflight, named for his great ability in climbing, jumping, and running. Mistypaw to Mistystream, named for her gracefulness, impressive/great ability in fishing, and her great and extraordinary beauty. Then it was finally Rowanpaw's turn. The tom went from Rowanpaw to Rowanflame, named for his fiery, aggressive, courageous, and leader-like personality.

Starting from there and on, he was an 'exemplary' or 'model-warrior', as he helped the Clan win a lot of battles. Although he acted different- like a leader-type and brave character- he was, and still is, very insecure on the inside and didn't believe himself to be all that great, as many thought and acted like he was. Despite this, he was still very brave and wouldn't let his insecurity show. Only a few moons after he had become a warrior, the young and rather small tom, by the name of LIttlewhisker, became the leader, as Coldstar had died from the always feared disease, greencough. Before he became leader though, the small tom had lost support from his family, and his Clan, and was relatively alone, as deputy, that was where the two began their relationship.


[Start of Warrior to Deputy Story]

This story begins not long after the small, dark Siamese tom by the name of Littlewhisker had just recently become the deputy of Coveclan, before the greencough killed Coldstar. This choice of deputy caused many cats to doubt their leader, as Coldstar chose a warrior that was apprentice-sized, not the best warrior- in their eyes at least. Because of this, many of the cats in the Clan were giving the newly-made deputy the 'cold shoulder', glaring at him, ignoring him- if you must.
The two had begun talking during the sharing tongues part of the day. Rowanclaw was sitting in the middle of camp, feasting on a rather plump and large vole, one that was too big that it would be disrespectful for him to eat all on his own- despite how much he wanted to do so, his body able to do so. So Rowanflame, being nice since no one else wanted to, called Littlewhisker over and invited him to share the vole with. As they did this, the two began their conversation, getting to know each other and as they found out the two had a lot in common- despite their size difference of course. For one, they both felt insecure and alone in the world. Since this was only a few days after Littlewhisker had become deputy, the two were quite young and the pair spent quite a lot of time together, whether it was hunting, training, patrolling, or just talking, getting to know each other very well- to the point where one might say they were 'best friends', in a way.

( I'm sorry this one (below) sucks, I had it WAY better, but then I accidentally deleted it and lost it, so I had to remember it and retype it, but it isn't the same or as good )
For moons, the two remained friends, getting closer each and every day. As said before, it had been a few moons since Littlewhisker had become deputy and they had become friends when the terrifying disease greencough spread through the Clan, making it a hard time for them. During the short time the Clan suffered from the sickness, a lot of cats died; including Coldstar- the previous leader- and Stonemask, Littlewhisker's own mother. After sitting vigil for their leader, since the leader was dead, Littlewhisker had to travel to moonstone and be made deputy, since he had been the current deputy at the time. When he came back, everyone knew he had to pick a deputy, and some thought he would pick Rowanflame, because they were good friends, but even though that was true, there was a certain concluding reason, a thing that happened that helped conclude the decision.

It was a rather normal and sunny day; Littlewhisker had just recently become Littlestar and deputy hadn't been appointed yet. Rowanflame was out on a hunting patrol- by himself nonsurprisingly- trying to catch as much food as he could to feed the Clan. He was just continuing with his usual hunting when a yelp and the sound of hissing was heard from the camp. Immediately worrying, the warrior rushed to camp as quickly as he could and, right when he burst through the entrance, his eyes stopped on what was happening in front of him. At least two mountain lions in camp. Scanning the camp, his eyes stopped on a feline that, at first was getting beat by some tom, but began beating the cat, turning the tables in the small fight. Studying his eyes on the tom- since he couldn't tell who it was-, he immediately recognized the tom as Littlestar, the rather young leader. All of this thinking, starting from him bursting in camp, was done in a mere second or two, as he had quickly charged at the leader and the feline only a second or two later. Using all the courage and strength he had, he sprang at the mountain lion and landed upon his back- the feline creature too focused on LIttlestar to notice or sense the large, dark orange cat rushing at him from behind. Once he was on the back of the female, he dug his claws in and quickly nipped its neck, the puma letting out a feline yelp afterwards. After this, the two began grappling and fighting with each other and, after a few moments of doing so, the mountain lion dropped dead, limp as prey. Rowanflame had beat the feline.

Near the end of the fight between the cougar and the warrior, the other intruding feline had been killed by the rest of the Clan members in camp, who had begun watching the last few moments of the fight between Rowanflame and the puma. Watching it finish, they all looked him over and there he was, standing over the limp body of a mountain lion, dark orange fur matted in some places with blood, a new scar across his nose, bleeding only a bit (basically, he looked badass, xD). He had managed to fill them in awe and inspire them, or most of them, without him even trying to do so. Seeing this, one of the youngest apprentices- one that had been made an apprentice just the day before- bounded up to him and looked up at him in awe, asking a question.

After this, Littlestar- who had gotten up a few moments before and gathered all his composition- walked up to face him. Looking down at his leader, he dipped his head slightly in respect. Littlestar smiled a small smile to his friend, "Rowanflame, what you did here was brave and admirable... and thought to be impossible. We of Coveclan thank you for your bravery" he said. The warrior dipped his head once more to his friend, his leader. After a moment, the small cat turned around and climbed to the branch his den was on, where he gave meetings and the like (can be somewhere else, I just guessed). All the cats, including Rowanflame, walked to the tree, where they usually sat for meetings and looked up at the cat, all of them expecting a certain thing- except Rowanflame, who had no idea what was happening. "I have thought about the decision for quite some time, and I do believe I have come to a conclusion." he said to the cats below, eyes mainly on the familiar orange tom. "I say these words before StarClan, so that the spirits of our warrior ancestors may hear and approve of my choice. The new deputy of Coveclan is Rowanflame!" he said, looking down at the tom, who's mouth was gaped slightly and eyes widened only a bit. The tom, being a rather insecure one, was very surprised he had been named deputy, as he had just been doing his duty, what any cat would have done- or at least he thought. He didn't believe he was as great as a lot of cats thought he was. Despite this, the decision filled the young tom with both pride and wariness[/slight fear], as he was afraid he would fail at his duties. That he would disappoint his Clan. That he would disappoint his friend.

Name:
Mudmask
Reason for name:
Mudmask is a Seal Point SIamese. Therefore, he has black-to-dark brown markings- hence the prefix 'Mud'- on his face, which is why he was given the suffix 'Mask' as a warrior. Overall, the 'mud' is on his face, his 'mask',

Most of the time, Mudmask is able to keep his emotions- like anger, fear (rarely), sorrow (sadness), frustration- under control and inside of him, hidden, but there are a few exceptions. For one, if you are a cat/creature that has managed to find a place in his heart and earn his love (friends/family/lover), he is passionate and protecting so, for example, if a cat/creature that he loves were to die, he would be unable to keep it under control and would hunt down who killed his loved one. -wip-

I wondered if I could make a kittypet that eventually turned into a clan cat?

Hey Skitty. Kitty pets would be extremely uncommon around Coveclan since they live in the great bear rainforest. The only human contact is from logging roads and the logging rail road. These clan cats are decended from feral cats that lived on the trains to control the rodents. That being said if you can think of a reason for a kitty pet to be that far out then, yes, you can make a kitty pet but it'll have to be logical.

Edit::
Going to have a hard choice for deputy I bet! If it comes down to it I have an interesting tie-break idea in mind.
