the line between letting yourself write 2.5k words of wilderness cat clan lore as enrichment/self-care/caring for your inner child vs letting yourself write 2.5k words of wilderness cat lore as uncontrollable, sleep schedule-ruining hyper fixation is but a cobweb thread.

[thestarssplit]

What is Stars Split?

Stars Split is a WCRP set in Scotland. Years after Skyclan joined the clans, a great tragedy shook the world, and supernatural creatures began to invade. The cats begged Starclan for help, and they gave it in the form of doctors, cats with the ability to see past the supernatural facade.

Years have passed and the five clans have become two, Rumbleclan and Marshclan. They live in a constant struggle for their lives. While they try to push back the supernatural and remain safe, a nearby group of loners has made a name for itself. The Cluster, this group believes that Starclan is actually evil and the fae are to be lived amongst.

Is it open?

Yes! And here's the link

THE GREAT FEAR | Volereader

Clans of the Waste Masterpost is HERE!

VOLEREADER (Lorekeeper)

She is the second-ever Lorekeeper of RockClan. She was born to Chervilfeather and Burrpelt, but raised by Chervilfeather after Burrpelt died to an infected wound when Volekit was 4 moons old. She was initially apprenticed to her father, Chervilfeather, as a Fighter, but when the Clan became in need of a Lorekeeper apprentice, she was selected by Milkweedmist. She was a pretty shoddy Fighter, so she was glad for the change. Five moons into her training as Lorekeeper, her mentor Milkweedmist was killed by a Creature, so for the final moons of her training, the MarshClan Lorekeeper came to tutor her. She was given her full name, Volereader, two moons after that. There was doubt within the Clan if she was ready to be the full Lorekeeper due to Milkweedmist dying, and she works every day to prove herself to her Clan. She came up with several types of ceremonies to celebrate pivotal moments in Clan life, in an attempt to give RockClan something to celebrate and focus on, other than the terrible Creatures that are hunting them. Volereader is responsible and a good hunter, and a great storyteller, which is part of the reason she was selected to become the Lorekeeper. Milkweedmist influenced her to be adaptable and to diffuse situations. Her father influenced her to be more likely to think outside of the box and break rules that don’t suit her. When given her full name, she was honored for her loyalty and commitment to her Clan despite the challenges thrown her way.

BELONGINGS: She already has a hard time keeping track of all the Lore Scrolls, so anything else she did have is now lost.

QUIRKS: She likes drawing (cave-painting style) important events that she records during her work, and she can’t wink without looking strained.

RELATIONSHIPS: Daughter of Chervilfeather (Fighter, retired, living) and Burrpelt (Trapper, deceased). Half-sibling to Rainpaw (Starwalker apprentice).

hello, thank you for clicking!!!

me and my friend are currently looking for people who're interested in helping build our server!

this is a discord based warrior cats roleplay.

what're the benefits of helping?

you'd recieve:

obviously, the moderator role.

an extra cat slot (max for other people is 3)

ability to preclaim high-ranks such as lead, deputy, and medicine cat (other members are able to as well. please be mindful...)

ability to help add onto the plot

ability to host events (such as games; roblox, minecraft, etc...)

this may be added onto !

what's it about?

the roleplay is called the scattered salvation, and is based on two clans and a rogue group; frostclan, marshclan, and the thorned ones.

frostclan resides in the snowy mountains, as marshclan lives in the deep, muddy terrain. the thorned ones are a group of rogues that once resided

in the clan 'vineclan'. vineclan was once a thriving clan that lived in the jungle. their leader, lionstar, was wise and soft-spoken, often referred to as

one of the most influential leaders ever known. this was until lionstar mysteriously passed away due to an unforeseen illness, and a sleek, black cat with a gruesome scar appeared;

mortis.

formally referred to as 'raven'throat,' mortis had turned away from his clan name claiming that 'the dark forest had told him so,' and that 'the clans prevent free will, leaders just

want to control you.' hearing this, mortis had spread this to the other clan members, causing confusion and rage. so when lionstar had died, many cats were enthusiastic,

ecstatic of their freedom. while the other cats were distraught, believing those cats were responsible for their leaders death. this caused a war inside the clan, resulting in no cat except for

a few to survive. they were not mortis' followers, as they didn't want to be referred to as that. they were referred to as his supporters.

after the genocide of vineclan, these cats continued to go to other clans, spreading their misinformation and destruction while gaining more supporters.

these cats are relentless, cold-blooded murders who're now knocking on frostclans and marshclans doors.

there is a lot more lore that'll be fully posted on the discord server.

im interested! how do i apply?

simple!

just comment your application or send it to me!

be aware that this is a 16+ roleplay.

what is your discord username?

how old are you (age/age-range)?

why're you interested?

have you moderated in any servers before? if so, how many?

how active are you (1-10)?

[themountainterritories]

the mountain territories

more info and lore under the cut

the mountain territories were formed many years ago from the remains of the ancient pumaclan. over the centuries, the clans have split into distinct groups based on which ones prefer to live where. 

CLIFFCLAN -pale grey-

Founder: Mountainstar

Current leader: Cuckoostar

Deputy: Sleetface

Medicine cat: Icecpond

Cliffclan used to be Mountainclan. a great clan which used to be over fifty cats strong. under the great Jaggedstar, Mountainclan fought and took tons of territory from every other clan, making them small and secluded. eventually, Jaggedstar became power-hungry, deciding to destroy the other clans, and leave infinite territory for her to lead. after that, most of the cats started a mutiny, and left Mountainclan. The cats that stayed with Jaggedstar became Cliffclan.

They are the only cats daring (or stupid, as the other clans say) enough to live on the high cliffs, away from the other clans. because of this, they are fairly aggressive to any cat trespassing in their territory. their pelts are often thicker than most, due to their often very cold temperatures.

The cats of Cliffclan hunt the birds and small rodents hidden in the cracks of the rocks, so they are always very lean because they get fairly little prey. Their camp is a large cave, conveniently situated between a few large boulders. but they never guard their camp, as they know that no cat will go so far just to raid their camp.

this clan is known for being very open with each other, to make up for what Jaggedstar did.

STONECLAN -dark grey-

Founder: stonestar

Current leader: Garlicstar

Deputy: Slugfoot

Medine cat: ashwillow

Stoneclan is made up of the cats that rebelled against Jaggedstar. since they are still developing, they accept any cat that wishes to join, for they still fear that Cliffclan will attempt to take them out. these cats are renowned for being excellent hunters, as well as very kind cats in general.

stoneclan’s territory consists mostly of rolling foothills and some higher peaks. they hunt small rodents, and occasionally young mountain goats. their camp is nestled between a few boulders, it it high up, so that any cat approaching can be seen from miles away.

AZALEACLAN -pink-

Founder: Azalea

Current leader: Crowstar

Deputy: Spiderstone

Medicine cat: Squirrelface

Azaleaclan is known for being fairly odd, they mostly consist of former kittypets and they are still somehow the strongest clan in the area. they are founded when a kittypet came upon the remains of Leafclan, which had been destroyed many moons previously. this cat brought some of it’s friends over and they created the unofficial Azaleaclan. nowadays, this clan thrives, living off the many rodents, birds, and even rabbits their territory has to offer.

their camp is a clearing in the sparse forest they call home. they treat the other clans with respect, but some of them look down on the newly formed stoneclan, despite them being not much older.

MARSHCLAN -brown-

founder: marshstar

Current leader: orchidstar

Deputy: cootwhisker

Medicine cat: adderfur

Marshclan is tiny, they were one of the first clans to settle, alongside Oakclan, Pineclan, Mountainclan, and Meadowclan. and they keep their allience with these clans to this day.

[honeybristle]

Some more funky oc lore, the Doctor of Marshclan, Cactusblight is considered by herself and her clanmates to be a monster.

As an apprentice she killed a Changeling which led to the death of Neetlekit. Then after the violent passing of her mentor, she kept spiraling. She sacrificed an elder cat to draw out a water beast. She fumbled an amputation, killing her clanmate. She couldn't protect her own apprentice.

She's clumsy, a teasing friend, a kind mother figure, a lonely soul. She's willing to do what is necessary, no matter the cost. She's too much for her clan.

Her only soft spot is really her nephew, Barrelcomb. He's the young son of her deceased sister. The only soul she would never sacrifice.

[lostcoastclans]

SCRIBE

MarshClan Unique Rank | Multiple | art by @rainstride

Scribes are a small but incredibly vital group, specially trained from apprenticeship and tasked with the management of MarshClan’s ever-shifting territory. They are oftentimes the most agile, sure-footed, keen-eyed cats in the Clan, in addition to being skilled navigators, in order to survey the marshes swiftly and effectively. Though there is little restriction on who can train to be a scribe, the job is incredibly demanding and time-consuming, and it is not uncommon for cats who begin training as scribes to opt out to become warriors instead.

With the constant ebb and flow of the tides changing the territory daily, navigating it can be tricky even for experienced warriors. Scribes mitigate these challenges for their Clanmates by scouting the marshes and carving maps noting safe paths through. Scribes are typically the first cats awake and patrolling, particularly after storms or spring tides, when changes to the territory’s topography are the most drastic. They work closely with the Clan’s healers to monitor the growth of herbs, and are often the first to go to work constructing things to divert water flow away from vital areas. Salt marshes can be a harsh environment for many plants and animals, but scribes work to ensure both that the territory stays stable enough to provide for MarshClan’s needs, and that MarshClan doesn’t damage the ecosystem they live in. Scribes act as an advising council to the Clan’s leader and deputy on many internal affairs, and hold the collective ability to veto some decisions if they believe it will threaten the balance of the marshes’ ecosystem.

A scribe’s work seems to never be finished, but by working as a team, they ensure MarshClan’s prosperity – and make sure everyone gets time to rest. Though their skills are most frequently put to use in their jobs, many scribes have artistic and curious spirits, finding joy in learning about the natural world, and in the acts of carving or crafting – form and function should coexist!

[islandcats]

the clans

The setting of this story is an island a little ways away from a mainland. It’s populated by some humans but only in a single part of the island, the rest is a preserve for the wild animals (which includes all the feral cats!!)

Sandclan: territory includes a set of cliffs and a stretch of beach. Sandclan cats enjoy swimming in the warm water, and are the only cats who do. They have long limbs, sleek fur, and pelts that help them blend in with the sand.

Leafclan: territory includes a thick forest that borders the twoleg place on one side, and the Sandclan cliffs on another. Leafclan cats tend to be large and muscular, and are capable of springing from the ground to climb trees. 

Caveclan: territory includes a mountain, though the cats only explore the base, where there are a set of tunnels and caves that lead to places on the island only they know. Cavelan cats believe in a fifth clan that used to live on the snowy peaks of their mountain, and some fear this clan will return and try and take back the mountain. Caveclan cats are generally the smallest, with big ears, large eyes, and dark pelts that help them blend in to the shadows.

Marshclan: territory includes the field between the edge of the mountain and forest, and runs down to the beach, though the cats do not typically go near the water. Marshclan cats are quick and clever and hunt in large groups to take down big prey. They are the strongest cats and will fight to the death when they feel it is necessary.

clan lore:

kits receive their prefix when they are one moon old and are referred to by nicknames until then. kits and apprentices who die before receiving their warrior name will take on the suffix of their mother. leafclan will happily accept kittypets from the twoleg place that borders their territory, the other clans would need to be persuaded. Caveclan believes there used to be a fifth clan in their mountain, which the other clans don’t believe in. once a month, on the full moon, the four clans meet at the sky pool to discuss news. on clear nights the moon shines directly over the sky pool, and the clans worship moonclan as their warrior ancestors. (moonclan is basically starclan, im not that creative). behind the mountain of is a cave full of tide pools that catch starlight and moonlight, this is where medicine cats go to meet with moonclan.

[nanistar]

Who are Flickerstar and Lizardfoots new kids in skyclan? And what is the deal with Flickerstar and Swiftwind!

SunClan cats have legit weddings (called Commitment ceremonies) and use the terms wife/husband/spouse, marriage, and divorce alongside the term Mates. Flickerstar (flickerfur at the time) and Lizardfoot were married for a few years and had Yuccaleaf (who renamed himself to Deadeye later in life, so some art and refs still refer to him as Yucca just in case you come across it and are confused), Chirpwhisker, and Dripcloud! They broke up after only a few years together. Flickerstar then married Dustclaw but that lasted less than a year. She then moved on and married Swiftwind of MarshClan, and they had Mesapelt and Dovetail. They are still very much in love, and this time it's going to stick (: Also incidentally, pretty much all of SunClan is related back to Flickerstar in some way. Her grandchildren are Vulturepaw, Buzzardpaw, the late Poppykit, Gilapaw, Rustkit and Claykit. Her children-in-law are Runningsweet (married to Mesapelt, parent of Gilapaw) and Whipwhisker (Married to Dovetail, father of rustkit and claykit) The deputy Spidershadow is Runningsweet's sister, so they're kinda related thru marriage too. Daisystar leader of SaguaroClan is Flickerstar's sister, they're both half-clan cats and their parents decided not to move Clans so they each took one kit. It wasn't traumatizing or anything, once the kits were old enough they gave them the choice to move where they wanted and it just ended up being one in each Clan. And Mudstripe and Pinyonpelt of MarshClan and their extended family are all well loved by Flickerstar and SunClan even though they're not technically related, because they are from Lizardfoot's first litter... But Mud and Pinyon don't really appreciate the open arms that SunClan offers because they feel like their dad abandoned them for Flickerstar. Oops!

Suffix System for the Nightfall Clans

(they’ve got their own blog @wc-nightfall , but its a little bare still. There are still four clans: FernClan, CoveClan, ThicketClan, and MarshClan, just for the sake of writing them out)

This should be fun! And another Coveclan! Lovely, I have one of those myself.

Medicine Cat Suffixes

-petal is reserved for medicine cats that have a special skill in working with plants.

(Gingerpetal, the only -petal in my clans currently, is an interesting -petal case: she’s actually horrible at growing plants, her skillset is best with preserving and figuring out how to use them, not so much growing.)

I appreciate the idea that medicine cats are also cultivating plants, I think its wise for medicine cats to be aware of their supply and actively care for it. 

-song is reserved for medicine cats that are exceptionally kind and caring to all.

-berry and -leaf are appropriate for medicine cats that have a skill in working with plants.

-flower is appropriate for medicine cats that are skilled at healing and nursing cats back to health - ties into the forgotten motherhood aspect of the warrior suffix -flower.

-whisker is appropriate for medicine cats that are generally very intuitive or observant.

-heart is appropriate for medicine cats that have a very strong moral code and follow their heart.

-cloud is appropriate for medicine cats that are a jack-of-all-trades type.

These are all quite lovely, and well thought out, however I am wondering if these are exclusive to medicine cats? Some of these suffixes could easily be given to other warriors. I guess my question is, do your clans have more than two medicine cats each? If not, why are these suffixes considered to be only for medicine cats? How do they end up not becoming archaic due to their lack of use, if they are far less common than the other suffixes due to simply being available to less cats? This is not a criticism by any means, just curiosity.

Warriors, skill-based

-flight indicates a cat that is very light on their feet, fast, and agile.

-claw indicates a cat that is a very skilled fighter.

-whisker indicates a cat that is generally very intuitive or observant.

-nose indicates a cat that has exceptional tracking abilities.

-fang indicates a cat that is equally skilled in both hunting and fighting.

-heart indicates a cat that has a very strong moral code and follows their heart.

-frost indicates a cat that is very analytical and good with words.

I like this interpretation of -frost. I’ve always liked it as a suffix, Ive just struggled to find a good way to include it. Seems like you solved that!

-flower indicates a cat that is fiercely protective.

(-flower lore: used to be used for motherly cats, but obviously, queens were extremely protective of their kits and clanmates, and slowly, it became known that you didn’t want to cross a -flower cat, and from there it morphed into its current meaning.)

I can appreciate the idea behind this, but it seems a tad narrow of any idea. Being protective is not necessarily a skill, as much as it is an ideal, and that isnt always positive. Perhaps if you give it a bit more meaning? Like maybe the idea of serving their clan above all else, even if its not in the glory of battle, but the small parts of life like advising, supporting, rebuilding camp.  Just as a queen gives all for their kits, time, energy, everything. I guess ultimately my question is why did it stop being used for queens? Do the clans not value the position of queens or the idea of parental love and care? If thats the case that is fine different clans have different ideals, but you might want to discuss why it fell out of favor for queens even if it gained a new meaning for others. Do queens have another suffix instead? Or do they not have a suffix at all?  I’d love to hear more about this.

Warriors, appearance-based

-fur or -pelt indicates a cat that is a jack-of-all-trades type with a solid coat.

-stripe indicates a cat that is a jack-of-all-trades type with a tabby coat.

-storm indicates a cat that is a jack-of-all-trades type with classic tabby markings.

-feather indicates a cat that is a jack-of-all-trades type with a distinctive feathery coat.

-dapple indicates a cat that is a jack-of-all-trades type with a tortoiseshell coat. Very uncommon.

I really like the expansion of appearance based suffixes, particularly the use of -dapple here. -feather seems a bit a niche suffix, but that’s not bad, its just might indicate that long fur is either more common or more rare depending the clan. I am interested in the choice for -storm, it makes perfect sense, i’ve just never considered it before! You have some really good ideas.

Correlating

-step indicates a cat that has a distinctive gait that correlates with their prefix.

Archaic (actually my favorites lore-wise)

Just want to say, having archaic suffixes is genius! It says so much about the culture and the personal interference of leaders in naming conventions, as well as  just general naming trends!

-wing indicates a mostly white cat with a saddle on their back, has become less prominent due to less favoring skill-based or -fur and the lack of cats with this specific pattern.

This is another new interpretation of a suffix, but makes perfect sense, it also makes sense its uncommon, cant be too many cats out there with these markings at any one time probably.

-splash indicates a cat that is a jack-of-all-trades type with patches of color or white on their coat. There was a string of MarshClan leaders who weren’t fond of it, leading to its eventual downfall. Shellsplash and Coppersplash are the last two bearers of it. Notably, Coppersplash had nearly been named Copperwing, but that was around the time when -wing was losing popularity.

-stream indicates a cat that is very good in water. However, this skill has become more common and less of a special talent, and this suffix has fallen out of favor.

-foot indicates an especially fast and agile cat. Has been replaced with -flight for unknown (presumably aesthetic) reasons.

-blaze indicates a cat that is a true warrior. However, this name become commonly wanted, and apprentices began throwing themselves into danger in hopes of proving themselves, and it was quietly retired and shifted into the umbrella meaning of -claw.

I do appreciate this one, it definitely makes sense that apprentices would do something dumb to get a special name.

-tail indicates skill in climbing trees. Eventually, the clans realized that climbing trees led to a disproportionate number of injuries, and it was slowly phased out.

I would disagree with you on this. Cats have been climbing trees for as long as they have been cats. While falls might occur, I doubt it would occur to such a high degree as if humans were climbing trees. Sure cats might fall but they also have bodies built for shock absorption, and a mechanism which allows them to 99.9% of times land on their feet. The times when injuries might occur are inexperienced and young apprentices (who are still growing and who’s bones and bodies might be more sensitive) or the elderly for obvious reasons. In a clan with the right precautions it shouldnt be a major issue. Of course that is my personal opinion, so you can take that with a grain of salt.

-branch indicates skill in climbing trees. An archaic version of -tail.

-blossom indicates an unusual skill with plants, for medicine cats only. An archaic version of -petal, unclear why the shift occurred.

Anyhow, I know this list is really big, but some suffixes are a lot more popular in some clans, it gives room for leaders forgetting about some suffixes, there are surges in popularity of suffixes, etc.

I like this, its nice to see a naming system evolving and adapting. You did a really nice job! Keep up the good work!

-flower used to be used for motherly cats, but obviously, queens were extremely protective of their kits and clanmates, and slowly, it became known that you didn’t want to cross a -flower cat, and from there it morphed into its current meaning.

Hello popping back on tumblr for the first time in a while to promo these two warriors fics I’ve started publishing on wattpad!

I’ve been writing oc-centric warriors fan fiction since i started reading the books as a kid but some friends finally convinced me to start publishing it because it was driving me insane that I couldn’t talk about it with anyone.

The first one, “The Winter Trees”, is the one I’ve spent the longest one. It’s based on two fan Clans me and one of my best friends made as kids, using, yes, the original set of cats we created. That means there’s a couple odd names in there (mostly from me) but over the years I’ve adjusted stories, personalities, and lore to make things work.

“The Winter Trees” follows ForestClan and IceClan, two Clans that formed after a group of SkyClan cats, angry with how Cloudstar handled being run out, left and found a valley by the lake. Now the other four Clans have arrived, but they keep the story of SkyClan a secret in honour of Firestar’s wishes. This story follows ForestClan and IceClan as they live with the four Clans, experiencing much of the same struggles, but also many of their own. The current arc, ‘The Great Battle’, focuses on a few cats in each Clan as the Great Battle looms over the horizon.

The second is “Lotus of the Three Waters”, a sort of “what-if” scenario I wrote up for a group of Clans living in coastal Asia.

It follows LeafClan, MountainClan, and MarshClan and their own prophecies and stories. They do not have any overlap with the main Clans aside from an ancient tale of a warrior of another Clan finding themselves taken by Tall-legs and taken to a new home. The current arc, ‘Fangs’, focuses on a mysterious omen sent to apprentices in each of the Clans, and their struggle to try and get their Clans to believe them.

Both stories can be found here! They’re updated infrequently, but I try my best to update both with a chapter each on the same day.
