leaders, deputies and healers (redraw)

huge, and I mean MASSIVE infodump under the cut, watch out!!

LEADERS

Palestar (she/her), Leader of Stormclan - Palestar’s backstory is one shrouded in mystery. All that is known about her ascent to leadership is that she killed the previous Stormclan leader - Creekstar - who was known as a callous tyrant. Rumours ooze around the festering wound that Creekstar left in her clan, and whilst her fellow leaders are viciously curious about the events that lead to her annointment as leader, Palestar is thoroughly tight-lipped about it all. 

Ouzelstar (he/him), Leader of Snowclan - A traditionalist and a shithead. Ouzelstar was a virulent warrior, intent on keeping his clan free from anything he believed would threaten the tradition that Snowclan had supposedly stood on for so many years. As leader, his cutthroat attitude has calmed a bit, mostly due to his fears over dividing his clan any further - though he is not above putting down cats he deems ‘lesser’, such as his deputy, Kestrel, whom he named Half-face. 

Dapplestar, (he/him) Leader of Gladeclan - The oldest of the leaders and a gentle soul. Dapplestar has had the fortune of leading Gladeclan through many of its most comfortable seasons, and as such has adopted a very mellow outlook on life. His indecisive attitude has troubled them, however, when choosing deputies. After struggling for many moons with cats who wanted to abuse power and ignore duties (or those who were very obviously just waiting for him to keel over), he sought guidance from his ancestors. Lionsong was appointed deputy after Starclan named him as the future saviour of the clan. Knowing that a prophecy has named Lionsong as his successor, and confident in his abilities to lead, Dapplestar is ready to retire and live out the last of his days in the warmth of his clan. 

Sandstar (they/them), Leader of Meadowclan - It is difficult to describe Sandstar without using the word ‘bitchy’. Taking their assessment at an exceptionally young age and then going on to become deputy and leader, Sandstar has earned the confidence and precedence they carry themselves with - not that it doesn’t annoy their fellow leaders somewhat. Despite all their pride and gumption, they regularly find themselves bored by the toils of leadership and often delegate their duties to their worrywart deputy, Ravenshine. They have two mates, Mothswoop and Appledawn. 

DEPUTIES

Bluehaven (he/him), Stormclan’s Deputy - In the aftermath of Creekstar’s rule and Palestar’s rise to power, Stormclan was weakened and divided. In-fighting began to stir between those who supported and those who opposed Palestar’s leadership, and to quell this discord Palestar appointed Bluehaven, one of her most outspoken opposers, as deputy. Despite his objections to her leadership, Bluehaven was shaken by Palestar’s decision, initially believing it to be a trick, and later, a test of his loyalty. He warmed up to his new role after Palestar made further efforts to rebuild her clan, including pardoning exiled cats and banning the murder of rogues (an action that Creekstar had permitted). Nowadays his relationship with Palestar is tense but professional - though there are rumours she only made him deputy because she knows he won’t usurp her like she had to Creekstar. 

Kestrel (he/him), Snowclan’s Deputy - Kestrel was born in Stormclan to Pineshadow and an unknown father. Not long before his apprentice ceremony, his mother fled their home, taking him to Snowclan. There, Ouzelstar took him in, whilst his mother was turned away into the frozen wilds. From a young age Kestrel demonstrated an intuition and selflessness beyond his age - he was left significantly scarred after defending his clanmate from a badger. Though most of his clanmates afforded him sympathy and admiration for this action, there were others who were angered by it - namely Ouzelstar, who would give Kestrel the warrior name ‘Half-face’. Kestrel went on to become deputy after Thawflank stepped down to care for his son and grieve his mate, and remained in the role long after this once Ouzelstar realised his competency far exceeded Thawflank’s (and he didn’t argue with him like Thawflank did). As deputy, he puts his duties above all else, especially any personal grudges he might harbour. 

Lionsong (he/him), Gladeclan’s Deputy - Lionsong suffered a rough childhood, one that he still occasionally blames himself for. Having lost both his parents at a young age, in different ways, Lionsong grew up under the guidance of his mentor, Brightnettle. As an adult, Lionsong has committed himself to serving his clan to the best of his ability, and is known by his clanmates to be resolute but compassionate - making him a perfect candidate for deputy. Having been named by Starclan as the ‘saviour of his clan’, Lionsong wonders what lies in his future, and whether his future role as leader could clash with the actions required of a hero. He has a mate named Ashfall. 

Ravenshine (she/her), Meadowclan’s Deputy - Born a kittypet and abandoned by her owners, Ravenshine struggled to adapt to a life of scavenging on the streets of her twoleg-place. She found Meadowclan after trying her luck hunting in the fringes of the town and stumbling across a border patrol. Desperate and hungry, she was prepared to fight these new, strange cats for her dinner, but was surprised when they invited her to their clan. She found the warrior life suited her well (though she is prone to sunburn more than the average Meadowclan cat, due to her lack of fur) and quickly earned the trust of Sandstar. She enjoys organisation and strategising, both of which make her suited to her role as deputy - though she does have a bad habit of over-worrying, something that isn’t helped by her leader’s lackadaisical antics. She has a crush on her clanmate, Flaxeneye. 

HEALERS

Lichenfrost (she/her), Stormclan’s Healer - Lichenfrost is unusually friendly for a Stormclan cat. She was apprenticed to Frostwhisker, a key figure in the turmoil Stormclan experienced under Creekstar’s leadership, until his brutal death at the claws of a clanmate. Lichenfrost was understandably devastated, having witnessed it with her own eyes, and struggled for many moons as her clan’s sole healer. Whilst the bright sting of shock has long since left, she still finds herself struggling under the weight of her grief from time to time, a feeling she mostly tries to battle with a warm smile and a good talk, and maybe only occasionally some poppyseed. 

Berrystem (she/her), Snowclan’s Healer - Berrystem apprenticed under Cedarsmoke, a quiet and often unsettling cat. Almost as soon as she had earned her name, he left the clan, saying goodbye only to her. As an apprentice, Berrystem was fiercely passionate about her duties, finding solace in healing clanmates and peace in having time to herself - not to mention, a small part of her was both humbled and thrilled by the importance of her role. As she got older, however, her devotion began to waver - and almost faltered completely when the Blight hit her clan. After the death of both her apprentice, Mumblepaw, and her brother’s mate, Tumblestone, Berrystem travelled to the Peak and begged her ancestors for something, anything she could do to save her clanmates. She was met with silence. Distraught and hopeless, Berrystem started avoiding her clanmates out of guilt, spending all her time in her den tending to the dying. When the Blight finally began to clear in the warmer months, the damage was done; their small clan was smaller and Berrystem believed it was all due to her. Losing her brother to his grief and her friends to their duties, Berrystem found an unlikely bond with the only other cat who felt ostracised from the clan; Martenfur. The two would soon form a warm friendship, with Martenfur often helping Berrystem fetch those herbs that were just a little too tall for her to reach. 

Littleshadow (she/her), Gladeclan’s Healer - Littleshadow became a healer far later in her life than most cats. She was 40 moons when the clan’s current healer, Duskfoot, died suddenly in a dog attack. Having been the only cat with a higher-than-average knowledge of herbs and remedies, Littleshadow stepped in to help her clan. Trained mostly by Beechbark, Littleshadow quickly learnt the ways of a healer and took up the role full-time - leaving her mate, Cindertail, behind. 

Beechbark (he/him), Meadowclan’s Healer - Beechbark is the oldest of the current healers, having outlived not only his mentor but the clan’s previous leader. Despite this, he refuses to pick an apprentice on the principle that none of his clan’s current young ‘uns show enough respect and diligence for his liking. His clanmates fear that he’ll die before taking an apprentice, and his clan will be left healer-less like Gladeclan had been. Little do they know, Beechbark fears that if his clan has a newer, younger healer then they’ll see no use for him, and usher him off to the elder’s den. He’s not ready to give up his role just yet.

Ocs at "Ten but" tag

Chlomarite's a ten, but she takes time to notice she's not the center of attention.

Sabrina's a ten, but she's super grumpy.

Neutral is a ten, but he's really anxious and obssesive.

Microblue is a ten, but he's super arrogant.

RoMay AU'S

Double post today I am bored and decided I wanted to. This post is about Roman AU's that either don't exist due to no ideas, AU's that I mention because I like them but don't post them or AU's in the process of being created.

SeraphimRoman- This was actually fanart I got, one of like the very early ones maybe even before HorrorBlasterRoman. Either way while SeraphimRoman was cool and neat it wouldn't make any logical sense. Granted TsumRoman did start by taking small pieces of souls XD. So it's not something that wouldn't happen but there was no ideas that I could get to work with her.

LittleRoman and LittleShadow- Granted this could easily work, I have thought about it and mentioned it to friends but actively starting it is tricky. I couldn't really think of ideas that could work. The best I can do is LittleShadow being trauma filled and not trusting of adults with LittleRoman as the innocent bean who just wants love and attention. But like overall ideas just never formed and it just seemed like a repeat only they are kids.

PortalRoman- Okay I tried starting this sadly just didn't work. There is a possibility I may return to it, I love unhinged Roman. But again it's ideas. I can't form much if any besides unhinged Roman just talking to the pink companion cube who she see's as Joyce. But like that's just kinda boring. Plus Portal is a pretty old game and like I can't come up with puzzles and stuff.

BittyRoman and BittyShadow- Much like the Little version, again it was just tricky to start it. Maybe I do better with not wholesome content XD. I am doing VERY well with PerfectKidRoman who I'm enjoying way too much. I guess I enjoy unhinged content XD.

PokemonAU- It does exist but I generally don't like to talk about it. It's a cute AU but I generally don't count it much. Still I do enjoy Roman being a Togetic, it fits so well and Shadow as Haunter is also perfect.

'Perfect' Roman/Roman3480- Now this is gonna be tricky to explain. It was an idea I came up with but it's so old my memory is kinda foggy. From what I remember Webdings never created Shadow and when the human soul was made, she wanted a 'perfect' daughter. Think of this like the Xtale timeline. Anyway that's why this Roman is also called Roman3480 because it took that many times. 'Perfect' Roman is cold and calculating, smart yet she's not cruel nor nice. She's just neutral. She doesn't get herself involved unless it actually involves her. This Roman also killed Webdings (YAY KARMA). She got out of the underground and kinda just chilled. She didn't make friends, she didn't talk to anyone. Just kinda lived her life. Kinda why there is like 0 content of her.

Romano Nuevo- This is a combo AU Novela and Dance. The only reason this doesn't exist is because I don't speak Spanish. I would TOTALLY do this otherwise. Romano Nuevo is just a sorta flirty Roman. She's Spanish and does the tango and she's just smooth. I love her but sadly I ain't gonna rely on Google Translate for like comics and stuff for her. She's pretty neat and she has been mentioned a little here and there.

BedAU- I don't have a proper name for this AU in making but this is basically Monster's IncxUndertale. Monsters are tied to a single child that is scared of them. However Roman is tied to Joyce, a child who finds the Joy in everything even in a scary looking monster. Shadow is tied to Neela, a child who already lives in a nightmare so the dark shadow that comes from under her bed is a relieving sight.

I am working on designs but it's very tricky. BedRoman is angry that Joyce isn't scared and generally sulks under the bed. Joyce knows sooner or later she will befriend this monster under her bed. She leaves BedRoman snacks and toys, she even makes sure under her bed is always clean for her friend. BedShadow however almost instantly bonds with Neela, he hears what her father does to her. Oh how he wished he could kill him. Afterall only HE should scare her, not this pathetic human. However he can't do a thing. Otherwise he would be destroyed by the other monsters. So BedShadow keeps Neela safe during the night, he sings calming songs, reads stories.

I am looking forward to the day I can reveal this AU with designs but for now it sits waiting under the bed.

Imposter- Yes it's based on Among Us. Roman and Shadow are Imposters, they fly a ship around and find other ships that are in distress. They board and pretend to be helpful crew members, here to 'fix' the ship. But everyone ends up getting hunted down and eaten. Sooner or later they board a ship and find Joyce and Neela who are children. Yes they are Imposters but they aren't murderers. At least not to children. So they take the kids to a port but learning that the two have no other family members and will most likely be separated, Roman and Shadow decide to take them in.

They hide that they are Imposters, the kids are always confused why they never see Roman and Shadow do tasks. The two admit that the kids are helpful. Imposters can't do tasks. Joyce and Neela do find out in the future but are strangely okay about it. Yes they wished their friends wouldn't kill but they know it's for survival, they need to eat. Afterall can you blame a lion hunting the antelope?

And that's it folks. All the misc AU's.

Being Pregnant with A  BatBaby

Bruce

-You were not trying to get pregnant at all. I mean you guys already have like one hundred NINE kids, do you really need another?

-When you tell Bruce, there is a moment of silence between you two, because neither of you know what to do. And then Bruce gets the biggest smile on his face, and picks you up and spins you around.

-You tell your kids the next week over a big family dinner, everyone is super excited.

                -even Damian, despite the fact he wants to keep his title as blood son

-Bruce hangs up the cowl while you are pregnant, because if you aren't allowed to take risks, neither is he.

-The two of you trying decorate one of the rooms for the nursery by yourselves

-You give up after about two days and let the kids and Alfred help you. Your favorite part of the room is a picture that hangs across from the crib with your entire family smiling. You like to think that they are all watching over your baby.

-You go into labour while at work in Wayne Enterprises, you were with Tim at the time who freaks out, and runs around the entire building trying to find Bruce and get you to the hospital.

-When you go into labour you are not sure who is more scared, you or Bruce. He hates seeing you in pain, and he doesn’t like that you are screaming and crying while this is happening.

-He holds your hand through the entire seven hour labour and is the first to hold his baby.

-He cries and isn’t afraid to admit that.

-He loves that baby so much. And he loves you so much.

-He is so happy to include the baby into your family.

Dick

-It is planned, the two have you have been trying since you first got married, but it is still a shock when the doctor confirms your pregnancy.

-Dick holds you hand and cries a little when you two hear, he whispers in your ear, “We’re going to be parents.”

-He calls you mom the entire time you're pregnant. Which is how his family finds you.

                -”there’s mom!”

                - “Dick if this is some weird kink-”

                 -”What? No! She’s pregnant you weird-o”

-He gives up being Nightwing, but he continues to work as a cop, which scares the living crap out of you. The two of you have a huge fight over it. He promises to be extra careful, and you conceded that you shouldn’t control his life like that.

-Dick decorates your nursery with ideas from pinterest, and it works really well. Everyone was surprised.

-By the end of the pregnancy Dick gets super over-protective, like doesn’t let you stand up and get a glass of water yourself, over protective. The two of you have a conversation about it, and he tries to let you do things more, but he is just so worried.

-The baby comes a week early, and that causes Dick to full on panic. He is super scared and rushes you so fast to the hospital it is a miracle that you don’t get pulled over.

-When the baby is born he starts to cry, and doesn’t ever want to let it go.

-He doesn’t let any of his brothers, except Duke, or sisters, except Barbara hold the baby for a while.

-After three months he finally trusts all of his siblings to hold the baby, as long as someone is in the room with them.

Jason

-The two of you were not planning on having a baby at all. It was going to be a lot and you guys weren’t sure if you could handle it.

-It wasn’t until you heard your baby’s heartbeat did you two know for sure that you were going to keep this baby.

-Jason held your hand as you heard the heart beat, and he cried (not that he will ever admit it)

-Jason reads to the baby bump, anything he can get his hands on, but if it has a fighting or kissing scene he skips over it,

                   -”The baby is too young to be exposed to this!”

                   -”The baby can’t even understand what you are saying.”

-Jason is super good about your cravings, he will go out at three AM to get you pickles and peanut butter with only mild complaining.

-he is across town when you go into labor, and drives like a crazy person to meet you at the hospital, only to find you sitting in a hospital bed cheerfully eating cheetos.

-It is a twelve hour labour and Jason is by your side the entire time, doing his best to help you through it, but feeling entirely useless.

-When the baby finally comes, he cries, but will never admit it.

Tim

-To say this baby wasn’t planned is the understatement of the year. The two of you are still in highschool and you got pregnant.

-the school kicked you both out, and your parents didn’t even want to look at you.

-The both of you, scared and confused, ended up at the Wayne Manor, where Bruce said you could both live, but he was going to do little for the baby, it was your responsibility.

               -as soon as he meets his grandchild this plan of being a stern figure fails and he would literally beg to spend quality time with the baby.

              -his brothers love that you are in the house, but get super nervous, whenever they see you they quiet down and stop playing as roughly. They say it is so the baby isn’t exposed to violence.

              -his sisters all try to pamper you, but are kind of useless at it, and end up just suggesting baby names that seem to be related to their own names.

-Tim working at Wayne Enterprises to get more money for the baby, and you get a job of your own.

-Red Robin takes over Oracle’s job to keep him out of harm's way.

-Tim trying (and ultimately failing) to follow your pregnancy diet, because he wants to prove that you two are in this together. He ends up only cheating on coffee.

-If you ever can’t find Tim, it is because he is googling everything that has to do with babies. The boy wants to be prepared, because you are already at a disadvantage being teen parents.

-the labor is relativly quick, only four hours, and Tim cycles between being up with you holding your hand, and being down with the doctors making sure you were both safe.

-Once the baby arrives he breaks down, because the baby is too perfect, and all Tim wants to do is give it a perfect life.

Aged up!Damian

-So Damian never wanted a kid, they are messy, loud, and annoying. He would much rather have animals. And you knew this.

-No one was more shocked than you when you pregnancy test confirmed that you were with child. And for two weeks you agonized on how to tell Damian.

-You ended up sitting him down, saying it was an important talk, and Damian thought you were going to end it with him, and you thought that Damian would be furious and never speak to you again.

-Damian was not furious. When you told him you were pregnant he sighed with relief and kissed your hands.

              -”We will figure this out together.”

-Damian takes to talking to the unborn baby, he claims that it is better company than any of his family ever could be. He tells stories about his home with the assassins, or his adventures as Robin, and when he thinks you’re asleep he tells the story about he met and fell in love with you.

-He baby proofs the entire house, month before this is needed, and starts hiding the swords, because he “wants to get in the habit of it.”

-He is extra protective of you, and if someone merely breaths on you funny Damian is ready with the katana.

-The labour is long and difficult and you probably need to go into emergency c-section, and Damian freaks out. It’s crazy to him how less than a year ago Damian didn’t even want a child and now with it not even born he was so scared to lose it.

-When you return from surgery, with the baby in hand, Damian cries.

-He never wants to let his baby go.

Duke

-Duke is excited when you tell him, he lifts you up and spins you around, before quickly putting you down and making sure that is okay to do to a pregnant lady.

-He looks up ‘fun things to do when your pregnant’ and takes on on dates inspired by these ideas.

-you go dancing, you go to the zoo, and you take a stroll through the park.

-he learns how to give massages and tries to take away your stress and aches and pains.

-Duke will do anything for you, so if you have a craving he will drop everything to help you out, even if you don’t really want him to. Don’t even think of mentioning that you want something or he gets you ten times the normal serving size.

-Side note: did anyone know Duke is a stress-shopper, you have to hide the credit cards, because Duke already bought three cribs, two diaper jeanies and a couple of changing tables. It’s crazy.

-the entire batfamily gently teasing you about your size. If any of them hurt your feelings, Duke is ready to square up.

-Duke is constantly praising you for growing a human being, and he wants you to know he thinks you are awesome.

-He takes a bunch of classes, and participates in a bunch of simulations, to try and understand what it’s like for you being pregnant.

-You think you have hormones, this boy is so stressed to have a baby sometimes he is moodier than you.

-the labour is really long, almost fifteen hours, and Duke is freaking out the entire time, because he hates seeing you in this much pain.

-When the baby finally comes his heart breaks, because that is the most beautiful baby he has ever seen.
