Clangen Heart of the Sea challenge.

So this is a little sea mer theme challenge I made for clangen and wanted to share.

Not many rules that'll dictate things mainly just flavor but feel free to use however you like!!

RULESSS/the actual challenge/theming.

So this can be played in any mode because there are very little patrol rules.

Upon creation your leader has to be someone with the unusual senses/starclan/darkforest/omen/dream ability. This will be your flavor

And you have to have one of the beach clans... duh.

So as the moons go on your star will be sensing something on the horizon (whatever that is, is up to you. ) and will end up upon their death (within 50 moons they must die) they make a deal/ anger a god/ whatever flavor you want. But the result is the same.

Now every 5 moons you'll roll (or choose based on a likelihood listed further below) on so many cats to be "blessed by the sea"

Now this has 6 stages every time a cat gets picked they move up a stage (no rerolling just moving up)

1st stage: the cat has webbed paws, itchy skin, and glowing eyes.

2nd stage: the cat starts having scales grow across their body, (I like having fun picking the color) and they have dreams of the sea.

3rd stage: fins grow from their ankles, ears, tail, and ridges form along their back. (You can now decide what kind of mer they are as well as pick a second color :3 ) as well as needing to stay damp.

4th stage: more fins much larger grow on down the spine (that's the dorsal fin!) And on the hips (either pectoral or pelvic fin) and their back legs become weak/bad at walking.

5th stage: the claudal/tail fin fully form. And are bedridden / dehydrated if they don't swim daily. + all the extra cool stuff you wanna add

6th stage: gills. They can't be on land most of the time and their back legs can barely support them on land (think seal) most of their body is covered in scale and now they glow in the dark! (Markings either reflect the pattern/glow eye color. Or do whatever you want have fun here.)

As your clan progressively becomes more fish here's how things change.

all kits born by a blessed one will be born one stage higher then their parent.

Your attitude towards patrols changes too. Now clan interactions you either avoid or agress.

All lost cats get taken by scientists.

Outsiders tend to be afraid if you.

Cold sucks. No patrols during winter. (Or summer. Whatever your theme is)

Extra rules

Your leader can't be related to the first.

Your deputy can't become leader.

The leader, deputy, head mediator, head medicine cat, and all kits of the leader start with stage 2 upon the beginning of the blessing.

Patrols become underwater themed and you become folk tale to outsiders. Aka scary sea creaturesss.

Once every cat is blessed to some degree pick a random number that's how many moons until the flood. (Or the clan fully moves to the ocean however you wanna put it.)

Once the flood happens, no patrols for one. Whole. Year. Also a random number of cats die but none that have gills can die during this.

After this your officially a mer clan! Whoohoo!! I- don't really have any more rules only enough to get you here + 1 point to help yall. so you guys gotta figure out what happens after!! Have fun!

That 1 point: once the clan is fully underwater and everyone is stage 6. The first kit born will be named Heart of the Sea. And be a bit special...

Highly susceptible to being blessed.

Connection to starclan/darkforest. Clairvoyant, dream walker, omen, lonesome, insecure, compassionate, loyal, righteous, adventurous, strange, faithful, and nervous.

Highly resistant to being blessed

Childish, bold, calm, cunning, responsible, wise, thoughtful, strict, keen eye, insight, and mediator.

(Rest are neutral)

have fun everyone!!

Still So Young (short story) (part 1)

Sunlight set the grass aglow, which glistened with the morning dew. They flattened beneath the anxious pacing of paws, and were specked with dirt as claws worked in and out of the ground. Beside the nerve-wracked she-cat was her brown-spotted friend, who cocked an eyebrow as she watched nervous movements.

“He’s just a kittypet, I don’t see why you’re so worried.”

“You wouldn’t understand, Clover,” Blue shook her head. “You haven’t met him.”

“And I don’t see why I have to,” Clover sniffed.

“Well, we live together!” Blue reminded her, though it was basic knowledge to the both of them. They had met five moons ago during a harsh leaf-bare, when they were both still young. Their only chance of survival was to work together, so they did, and from there they decided it would only be beneficial for them to  stay together. Blue also knew that they were much too used to and comfortable with each other now to part ways. “And since Seb is my mate now, he’ll be joining us, surely.”

Clover inspected her claws. “Yeah, surely the pampered kittypet will want to leave his kitty-home and risk starving.” She looked up, her gaze turning serious. “He’ll hurt you, you know.”

Blue bit back the fierce ‘no!’ that had threatened to jump out. She met her companion’s eyes. “I know him, okay? I trust him.” She had only met Sebastian two moons ago, when she had chased a squirrel into his garden. Instead of being territorial or dismissive, he looked at her with pure interest. She had asked him if he had ever had anything other than kittypet slop, and offered some of the squirrel when he told her that he hadn’t. Blue stayed longer than she had planned, letting the tom ask question after question as she bathed in his praise. From there, they began to meet regularly, and Blue told Clover about her new mate. She had decided against telling her about the squirrel. Clover would have only gotten mad if she knew that Blue gave away good food to someone who already had plenty of it–though it was greenleaf then.

Clover smacked her tail on the ground. It was clearly taking a lot for her not to try and just smack some sense into Blue. Blue was thankful for the restraint. Clover had gotten much better at it since that leafbare. “I just don’t see why you want to settle so quickly. We’re still practically little birds leaving the nest.”

“Really?” Blue asked with sarcastic shock, looking at her sides. “Oh,” she sighed. “I guess my wings haven’t grown in yet.” She may have been the more level-headed of the two of them, but that didn’t mean she could stand Clover insulting her mate.

Clover reached over and cuffed Blue around the ears. The two she-cats stood, glaring, then simultaneously burst into laughter. Blue returned the cuff.

“Hey!” Clover pulled back.

“Only fair!” Blue responded before leaping at her friend, pummeling her with claws sheathed. Clover twisted and grabbed Blue’s leg, yanking it so that Blue’s chin smacked onto the ground. 

“Ha!” Clover stuck her tongue out and bounced away. Blue scrambled to her paws and chased after her.

In all the excitement, it hadn’t occurred to her until later that night, when she lay awake watching the stars, that Seb had not showed up.

Hey, why am I posting about these random cats that probably aren’t related to anything at all??

[canon-notcanon-warriorcats]

You want a random thought? Well, imagine a half clan apprentice-before all the groans come in with how overdone it is hear me out-who is pushed around by his clanmates. His mother was from one clan and droped him off in his father's clan, who won't fess up to having this kit. Eventually made an apprentice, GoosePaw finds the darkforest in his dreams and is found by MapleShade. She was a queen once, and hearing his suffering angers her, since this kit basically could've been hers. 1/2

This kit could've been hers, or what the clan could have been like to her own kits. (Specifically PatchKit?). She teaches him how to fight, and he becomes a warrior named GoosePelt. And she watches over him take his clan over (antagonistcally or not) and MapleShade feels proud, letting her spirit move on. Then Goose has kits with a she cat, one looking like his mentor and mother figure, who he names MapleKit after her and eventually MapleHeart, the first warrior he names as leader. 2/2
