We have always lived in this territory,
Died in this territory.
We loved here,
We hated here.
This was the home we fought for,
The home we made peace in.

On the day the Beasts came, we were ready -- we had been warned.

However, we severely underestimated them.
They destroyed us with strong paws and stronger jaws.

Now, all that's left of us is the Kindred Hearts, scattered about the land...


Will you return to WolfClan?


|~RULES~|

1. Absolutely NO OOC bullying. This includes any sort of homophobia, transphobia, racism.... You get it.
2. No Mary-Sues or Gary-Stus. Everyone can get hurt, everyone has weaknesses -- this is as realistic as a Warriors roleplay can get.
3. Fade to black when necessary. This should be obvious, but I'll include it anyway. Write 'bumblebee' in 'Other' if you read all the rules.
5. No godmodding/powerplaying. What this means: Don't kill/seriously injure someone without their permission, and don't randomly have a crush on/want to be mates with someone that you've never roleplayed with.
6. All Lioden rules apply.
7. A suffix or prefix can only repeat 5 times, or the character will not be accepted.



Sign-Up Form


Name

Your cat's name. It can be any thing realistic; no "Robotkit" or "Zebrapaw". They must be things the cats are familiar with.

Gender/Sex
Does your character identify as male or female? What were they born as? {Basically, gender is a choice while sex is not}


Age
Your cat's age? Kits must be under 6 moons and apprentices must be 6 moons or over. Warriors cannot be any younger than eighteen moons. You can decide when to retire, but you will be forced to retire your warrior at around 98 moons.

Four seasons = one year, One moon = one month

Rank / Clan Status
What rank do they hold? Are they a rouge, kittypet, loner, or part of WolfClan?

Sexuality
Yes, we accept LGBT+ cats! Well, a cat cannot physically change from male to female or vice versa, but a female can identify as a male.

Personality
Is your cat mean, lonesome, boisterous? Explain it here! No "Find out in RP" or anything like that, your form will be rejected. Remember to have a balanced personality.

Relationships
List your cat's mate/crush, kits, and/or kin here! If you have yet to interact with others in the rp, simply add "TBA".

Likes / Dislikes
What does your cat enjoy and despise? Pretty straight forward, you can put pretty much anything realistic here.

Strengths / Weaknesses
Put your cat's strengths and weaknesses here. Remember: if you have a powerful strength, make sure to balance it out with a just as powerful weakness so your cat isn't to overpowering.

History
Can be vague or detailed, but we aren't here to read a full novel.

Appearance
Can be shown through pictures, descriptions, or both.

Theme Song
What song fits your character best? This is completely optional!

Name
Rosestar

Gender/Sex
Female/Female

Age
5 seasons {5 human years}

Rank / Clan Status
Leader of WolfClan

Sexuality
Bisexual

Personality
Rosestar is usually rather quiet, and has a strong sense of judgement. However, she can be very flirtatious, cunning, and knows how to read other cats well. This means she could very well play you like a fiddle. She she done things she isn’t proud of, and would rather not talk about them. Rosestar loves kits, and has a strong connection with StarClan.

Relationships
TBA

Likes / Dislikes
Likes kits, rain, hunting, shrews, and silence. Dislikes dogs, rude cats, seeing someone cry, and ‘busybodies’.

Strengths / Weaknesses
Rosestar is charismatic, intelligent, has good hearing, good agility, and moderate wisdom. She is not very strong physically and isn’t terrific at fighting. Her hunting skills are okay.

History
Rosestar was born a kittypet, called Jewel by the twolegs. Her mother, however, who remembered stories of WolfClan, named her Rosewater. She began having dreams when she was young -- visions of large groups of cats living together in peace. They hunted for each other, fought for each other. They lived hard lives, but she found herself yearning for this. When she told her mother, she explained. Rosewater was barely two moons old when she was taken from her mother. The day she turned six moons, she ran into the wilderness. On her way, however, she met a tom who was also looking for WolfClan. Together, they founded it with the help of StarClan.

Appearance
Rosestar is a solid, very pale ginger that looks like a pale orangy-tan-rose color, hence her name. She has hazel eyes and a tall, lithe build. Her ears are large and pointy.

Theme Song
Pompeii by Bastille

ragdoll-cat-with-green-eyes.jpg
---
Source

Name
Larkwing

Gender
Tom

Age
8 Seasons and 3 moons
(2 years and 3 months)

Rank
Medicine Cat

Sexuality
Bicurious, vowed to never have a mate.

Personality
Rather quiet, though more social when he is with only a small group of cats. He enjoys his job as a medicine cat quite a bit, and is certainly not one to take it lightly. When he gets close to other cats, he can be incredibly warm and even crack a joke here and there, however he doesn't usually take the time to do so and instead comes off as somewhat cold. He has strong morals, and is entirely incapable of breaking any rules set before him. He won't hesitate to reprimand those who do.

Relationships
Robin - Mother
Ember - Father
(More to be added as RP continues)

Likes
The refreshing scent of herbs.

Small, solitary places.

Keeping to himself, not causing trouble for others or having others cause trouble for himself

Dislikes
The smell of death, rot and decay. He can't stand it.

Loud areas with lots of open space, especially gatherings.

When others talk to him when he obviously doesn't want to be spoken to.

Strengths
He has an excellent memory, especially when it comes to various plant and animal life. He likely knows more about the forest than the forest itself.

He is a strong fighter, though is more focused on defense than offense. He is one to stand his ground no matter the circumstances.

He certainly enjoys sharing information when the other party is ready to hear it, and can talk for hours on end about the knowledge he holds.

Weaknesses
Isn't all that great at remembering what he deems as 'unimportant', which can really be anything.

He can't face off against an opponent with the same skills as himself, nor is he good at talking to those with a similar personality as his own. It makes him uncomfortable.

Though he has important things to say, he won't always say them, both because of his anti-social tendencies and a lack of trying.

History
Larkwing was originally born as a loner called Grey, but was eventually caught by a couple of young twolegs when he was young. He lived with the annoying creatures for a full year before finally gaining an escape when they opened their back door. He returned to the forest soon after, only to find that a small group of cats had formed there, calling themselves a 'Clan'. On a whim, he decided to join them in their efforts to return the forest to its former glory, eventually given the title of 'Medicine Cat' when it was discovered he had a knack for learning and remembering the various herbs they used.

Appearance
A ragdoll cat with a mostly white pelt, a few ash-grey spots here and there. He has long, somewhat tangled hair that he finds troublesome to groom, and stands tall, somewhat larger than the other cats of the Clan. His eyes are a gentle green, and are often narrowed in either irritation, confusion, or concentration.

Name
Ravenheart. (Raven.)

Gender/Sex
She-cat.

Age
42 moons old.

Rank / Clan Status
Rogue.

Sexuality
Heterosexual.

Personality
Ravenheart was a feisty, adventurous and a rebellious apprentice, and very few could actually tell her what to do and what not to. She was rebellious and would close her ears to anyone she didn't want to listen to, and even if someone told her to do something she knew was right, she would do the exact opposite just because she liked to be right. But as she grew, she became more mature and serious. Ravenheart can be stubborn and rude, but she's become more responsible and calm. She's a bit reckless, but most often, she's very calm and rather reserved. She's determined, bold, loyal and brave. Although, she can be very rude, and she is basically the queen of sass. She's very mysterious and extremely tough. Ravenheart lets everyone be seen to by the medicine cat before her and would go into a fire to save a kit. She's dedicated, blunt and sharp-tongued. She's dignified yet stubborn. She's fierce, cautious and careful. Ravenheart chooses her words wisely, but sometimes, words just pop out of her mouth, and sooner or later she'll regret it. She's not the wisest cat around, but she's responsible and very clever. But she's bound to do something reckless. But one thing that her fellow clan members are always very concerned about, is how she loves to swim, and a couple of times she's managed to catch a fish. Ravenheart is relatively quiet, but she is not afraid to speak for herself or for others. She's a rather closed person, and rarely opens up to others. She has the ability to stay calm in situations where most others would panic.

Relationships
Mother-Nightwing-Deceased.
Father-Lithestep-Deceased.
Brother-Timberheart-Unknown. (Open.)

Likes
Night
Darkness

Dislikes
Bright sunlight

Strengths
Fighting, cleverness, helpful, brave, courageous, fearless, independent, protective, loyalty, leadership skills.

Weaknesses
Hunting, clumsiness, lack of faith, stubborn, rebellious, arrogant, vain, impatient, jealousy, vengeful, reckless.

History
Not really up to making a history right now but I may edit this later so this will be very short, basically just a couple of sentences. Ravenheart never felt like she belonged to a clan so when she became a warrior she made on terrible crime before running off and she has been living as a rogue ever since.

Appearance
Source.
Ravenheart is a relatively small she-cat. Not big but not tiny either. She's broad shouldered with small, neat paws that hold thorn-sharp claws that can pierce a badger's skin. Ravenheart has a jet-black, tough, thick yet glossy fur and an extremely long, silky, soft tail. Her body is lithe, slender and long but she has rather short legs. She has sturdy muscle that are like stone to the touch. She is not the greatest hunter around, barging through the undergrowth and stirring up leaves and cracking twigs, but she does manage to catch enough for her to survive. On the other hand though, when stalking someone (like a cat, for example) she's very quiet, gracefully moving along the undergrowth without stirring a leaf. But Raven is a great fighter with swift, graceful movements and with her quick-thinking, she's a difficult opponent to face in battle. She has wide, pure, blazing, emerald green eyes, rather large ears and long fangs and a dark pink nose.

Name
Ginger.
Full name will be Gingerleaf.

Gender/Sex
Female - Female.

Age
6 Moons (6 Months).

Rank/Clan Status
Loner currently. Medicine cat apprentice once she joins the Clan, if that's alright?

Sexuality
Asexual - Demiromantic.

Personality
Ginger is surprisingly grumpy for such a young cat with a stereotypical old man "GET OFF MY LAWN" sort of demeanor that leads her family to teasing her about retiring from old age at only six moons. Everything this little she-cat says is often dripping with sarcasm and she generally appears to be enthusiastic about absolutely nothing. If you can get past the grump long enough to dig deeper however Ginger is a decent cat who never got over her mother's death and feels ultimately responsible for it. She is a driven individual and will take her duties as a medicine cat apprentice seriously regardless of any snide comments or complaining, determined to never let another cat die the way Kestrel did.

Relationships
Kestrel [Mother][DECEASED].
Wren [Father][OPEN].
Finch [Younger Sister [Ice-IceWolf][Page 5].

Likes/Dislikes
+ Herbs and plants. She is currently unaware why she is so drawn to them, but has a habit of collecting any she finds and carrying them with her if she can.
+ Helping others. She might be a grumpy little furball, but she'll be the first to come running if some cat needs aid.
- Being useless. Her life currently feels without purpose and she finds it quite frustrating.
- Foxes, for obvious reasons I should think.

Strengths/Weaknesses
+ She is both highly perceptive and a quick learner.
+ Surprisingly, not a bad fighter.
- Despite not being as weak as some might assume her style of combat is actually rather violent and rage-filled, usually leading to her emotions ruling her actions.
- Her sharp tongue might get her in trouble one day.

History
As a kit Ginger was a rather hyperactive little furball, always flinging herself at any cat unfortunate enough to pass the nursery or attempting to sneak away from her parents' den. She and her sister Finch often liked to pretend they were mighty warriors already, having grown up on legends of WolfClan, defending their family from evil. One day the two kits actually did manage to escape the nursery unnoticed, frolicking off into the forest. Unprotected and vulnerable, it wasn't long before the pair were tracked down by a fox and nearly lunch before their mother intervened, having noticed they were missing and setting out to track them down.

Kestrel managed to fight off the fox on her own, but received fatal wounds from the encounter and bled to death before Wren found them again. As it was Ginger's idea to go on an adventure she felt responsible for her mother's death and became so guilt-ridden she would hide away in the nursery, refusing to speak with anyone. Not even her own sister or father. Eventually once she was old enough to look after herself Ginger left her kin behind in a self-imposed banishment.

Appearance
Ginger is a predominantly light gray she-cat with a white chin, throat, chest, underbelly, paws and tail-tip along with large patches of pale ginger fur throughout her pelt. Her eyes are bright amber and she has a dark gray nose. She is quite small, even for an apprentice due to a condition that left her with stunted growth as a kitten.

Theme Song
On My Own - Ashes Remain.

Other
Bumblebee.

--------------------------------

Name
Rowanstorm.

Gender/Sex
Male - Male.

Age
8 Seasons (2 Years).

Rank/Clan Status
Warrior.

Sexuality
Pansexual - Panromantic.

Personality
Rowan is a feline very concerned with appearance, often spending hours trying to keep his pelt smooth and clean. He is a newcomer to WolfClan and may or may not be regretting falling in with these cats. The life of a warrior can be quite...messy to say the least. Still, Rowanstorm feels he owes the Rosestar and Desertstorm more of his loyalty and tries to fit in regardless his misgivings. Despite what some might consider prissy behavior Rowanstorm is eager to prove he's capable. While normally mild in temperament he is easily offended and will snap back in his own defense if he feels he is being picked on.

Relationships
TBA.

Likes/Dislikes
+ Sunbathing.
+ Fish. Though he certainly doesn't enjoy catching them.
+ Keeping his coat shiny and on point. He's a bit of an obsessive groomer.
- Fighting. This isn't a cat who enjoys inflicting pain and would rather flee than fight. This is not to say Rowanstorm is a coward. He will defend himself and his Clanmates if there are no other options, but he would rather not harm another cat.
- Getting wet or dirty. Gross.
- Rude, passive-aggressive cats. Forget that he can be pretty passive-aggressive himself.

Strengths/Weaknesses
+ Decent fighter and hunter.
+ Rowanstorm likes to gather information. Not so he can use it against anyone, but simply because he enjoys learning. Now putting to practice what he's learned? That's a whole different ball game.
- Overly concerned with his own appearance. This can at times lead to him neglecting warrior duties.
- Can become resentful if he feels he's being bullied which could potentially lead to an unpleasant exchanging of words and perhaps direct disobedience.

History
A former kittypet. Rowanstorm lived with humans for most of his life and only just recently joined the Clan after an unfortunate incident that led to him escaping his carrier as his owners attempted to place him in one of their monsters. Once loose he became hopelessly lost and never found his way back home. After wandering into WolfClan's new territory they decided to take the pathetic tom in and attempt to make something out of him. It was a rough road going from pampered pet to wild cat, but Rowanstorm eventually managed to earn his warrior name.

Appearance
Image | Source

Rowanstorm is an elegant, thickfurred dark russet brown tom with bright golden eyes. His pelt lacks any distinctive tabby stripes and he has paler, nearly white fur on the muzzle, throat, chest and belly. Black hair mixes in along his flank and tail, ending in a dark tip. His build is slender and lithe. A Somali cat.

Theme Song
More Than It Seems - Kutless.

--------------------------------

Name
Wolf. Full name will be Wolfstep.

Feel free to let me know if this is inappropriate since his prefix is the same as the Clan name. This is what I've always called this OC, but I can figure out something else if need be.

Gender/Sex
Male - Male.

Age:
16 Seasons, 6 Moons (4 years, 6 months).

Sexuality
Heterosexual - Heteroromantic.

Personality
Wolf is an egotistical tom with a potentially worrisome ambitious streak. He is clever, conniving and for the most part only looks out for his own wants and needs. The two exceptions to that rule may be his sisters. Wolf believes he deserves all he desires and will do just about anything to get it. If this intense dedication to achieving his own goals could be re-directed into serving a Clan he still has the chance of becoming a decent warrior.

Relationships
Husky [Younger Sister][Unova Solarflare][Page 3].
Unnamed Sister [OPEN].

Likes/Dislikes
+ Getting his way. Nothing strokes this guy's ego more than having his orders obeyed or proving he's right about something.

+ Autumn and winter. His thick coat makes warmer weather almost unbearable for him. The colder months of the year are much more comfortable.

- Water. Not a happy camper if he has to swim or get wet.

- Cats who try to go against him. He can prove rather vindictive if he's feeling especially put off. Tread carefully friends.

- Kits. He'll treat queens with respect, but doesn't have much fondness for kits. He tolerates them, but that's about it.

Strengths/Weaknesses
+ Physical strength.

+ Rather witty. Even if his player isn't.

- His size and dark coloring make him a poor hunter.

- His attitude sometimes leaves much to be desired. He doesn't make friends or allies easily.

History
He had a fairly normal kithood, living with his mother until he was old enough to survive on his own. He still visited her on occasion to make sure she was well and even helped her out when she become pregnant with her second letter, always making certain she had plenty of food and a warm den to sleep in. When his sisters were around nine moons old their mother passed away and he surprisingly took over raising them. Wolf will always look after kin. It is perhaps the only good quality he currently possesses.

Appearance
Image | Source

A huge, long-furred black smoke tabby tom with dark golden eyes. He has tufted ears and a thick ruff of pale gray fur around his neck.

Theme Song
I'm So Sorry - Imagine Dragons.

Name: Bounce

Gender: Female

Age: 2 years and 2 moons

Rank: Kittypet *bell noises*

Sexuality: Heterosexual

Personality: This cat.... despite her humble position and her beaten- down instincts for survival, is an utterly feriocious pack of claws. Bounce is hot-tempered and rather scary, and is not afraid to use her natural weapons against anybody she deems undesirable. She once even beat up her own mother when her Twoleg had left some meat bits on a sidewalk which attracted loners.
Of course, all cats have a soft side- and Bounce's is that while she seems like a Susan clone ( the kittypet on the lake territory that is super hostile) she predictably will not touch the ones she truly feels affection or respect for. She knows justice and will show mercy to the mercyful. If you can manage to not get on her scratchy side, she could possibly take a liking to you.

Relationships: Leap, a calico with amber eyes (mother, unknown)
Mace, a mackerel tabby with yellow eyes ( aunt, unknown)
Khan , a bulking cream tabby with faint stripes and yellow eyes (father, unknown)
Murphy, a large bluepoint ragdoll with blue eyes who once lived alongside her ( former best friend, given away)
Some unknown siblings.
No mate or crush yet.

Likes: Large,bulking cats, birds (she'll even eat the bones), spiders, practically anything that she can eat, hunting, her owner, the scent of rained down dirt, roses, mountains, dawn, moonlight.

Dislikes : the vet, being confined, being denied, not given scraps, pain, thinking of her lost friend, heat, the antics of Twoleg children, her family, anything that stands in her way.

History: It's very long, go ask her. She loves telling it if you find a way to ask without getting your ears clawed off.

Appearance: A sleek and smallish calico with yellow eyes.

Other: I solemnly swear that this is all true. While Bounce is off in the wilderness like her ancestors I'll always remember her as my kittypet. (bumblebee)

Theme Song: Titanium by David Guetta ft. Sia

Everyone except Blackpaw is accepted.

Here's why Blackpaw isn't: Firstly, his name is capitalized wrong. Second, as stated in the sign-up form (I just edited it to be more appropriate), Warriors cannot be any younger than eighteen moons. Finally, no cats have been born into the clan yet -- this is first generation.


I will add Raven, Bounce, and Ginger in a moment.
