Wisptuft's small cut is no longer bothering them…but while moving some branches out of the way they got a splinter.

Rowanstorm is delighted to be working with Firecrest today.

How about a long lore backstory and rambling about rookpaw lore?

😁 ok 😁

uhh idk about tws. i guess arranged marriage? child abuse, internalized homophobia

basic info before u know

okay so basic tldr before everything. rookpaw's from a 1x1 with a friend called twoprinces. essentially there are two clans, cascadeclan and haarclan, Cc lives on the tundra by the sea and Hc lives in the taiga near the mountains. Both clans are monarchies instead of normal clan structures.

So like, the firstborn of the leader succeeds them except in cases where the firstborn dies, or whatever. It's normal for royal cats to have only one baby per litter typically although exceptions happen and usually they have more then one litter as "backup heirs". I also imagine nieces/nephews can also take over. Deputies are basically just a second-in-command, since the leader's mate is more like a third in most circumstances (both Rookpaw and Copperpaw's fathers are referred to as "kings", for nursery cats they're either "monarchs" or "queens"). maybe king is gender neutral? that'd be fun.

also these clans are a bit more complex and a bit more advanced- there's a secondary warrior role called a wright, who shears carcasses of pelts to make den beddings and more. they trade with kittypets and outsiders often for materials, and haarclan even can mine in the caverns they live in using bones and stones. they're also (slowly) starting to understand how to use fire.

basic characters

jackdawstar is ravenpaw, crowkit, and rookpaw's momma. she's kind of scary and very serious. a violent peacekeeper of sorts; her clan, haarclan, and cascadeclan had been at war for a lonnnng time ever since her grandfather jaystar started trying to eradicate Cc to keep his clan "safe". her idea of this was a union between her clan and Cc, and that her oldest daughter and heir, ravenpaw, could one day marry the Cc leader's (Clementinestar) only living son, Copperpaw.

Copperpaw is my friend's character, he's a pretty somali and he lost his older brother Reedstrike as well as his father Rowanstorm in a joint accident. He's also Rookpaw's romantic interest.

Prickletongue is jackdawstar's mate and the father of Crow, Rook, and Raven. He's kind of awful, mainly because he wasn't mainly interested in marrying Jackdawstar. The only reason the two were together because of a favor Jackdawstar's mother Stellerstar carried out for Prickletongue's father Bramblesnare. It's like, "hey, u earned this, welcome to the royal family lol." He's more interested in a clanmate named Bumblesnag, but that's an issue not yet canon. Prickletongue however DOES like the power involved with being king; however he has to balance two apprentices (Goldpaw and Rookpaw) because he hadn't expected to have two kits at once. In HC the royals mentor their own children except in special cases.

Rookpaw and Ravenpaw are in the same litter, although Ravenpaw was born first. Crowkit's from a later litter.

canon story inrp

the story starts off with both clans learning about the arrangement between ravenpaw and rookpaw at a gathering, which ravenpaw's unhappy about but allows to happen to not upset her mother. she is a closeted lesbian. this is an issue later

rookpaw however is furious, as is copperpaw, and rookpaw insults cascadeclan as a whole (he is a little xenophobic at the start, in a usual clan cat way) and copperpaw attacks him and shreds one of his ears, causing the moon to be covered.

later on after ravenpaw and copperpaw chat, and somewhat get along although cascadeclan deputy kindleblaze brings copperpaw home. day after jackdawstar takes her kits to publicly apologize at Cc camp, and copperpaw invites ravenpaw to something called "rendezvous", which he is a host of. ravenpaw is allowed to take rookpaw as a plus one.

essentially rendezvous are just coordinated highschool parties. big fan of catmint. copperpaw's brother reedstrike (then reedpaw) was the founder of them, but after he died copperpaw recruited a tomcat in his clan named honeysucklepaw, and Hc's healer apprentice ternpaw to help host.

they get to this party and it all goes alright, rookpaw eats a little bit too much catmint but copperpaw gives him some honeycomb to subside it and they get along for the first time.

we're also introduced to ploverpaw after the rendezvous, who is a shecat in rookpaw's clan who is very fond of him. ternpaw and ravenpaw start to become very close.

rookpaw's infatuated with the idea of "getting back" at copperpaw for shredding his ear through all of this. when the next rendezvous comes around (they happen every new moon), he attacks copperpaw during a party game, which earns him some nasty scoldings from ternpaw and copperpaw both.

a cat named kestrelpaw approaches rookpaw after all of this, asking him about his violent tendencies and they end up offering rookpaw a chance (more like, telling him) to meet his great-grandfather jaystar just out of curiosity. a few days later they meet, and rookpaw's a bit intrigued only because jaystar is far less scary then stories made him out to be. around this, jaystar and kestrelpaw are both keen on rookpaw improving his fighting to get back at copperpaw, but drop this once rook grows more fond of copperpaw. after some time he becomes a official df trainee.

copperpaw, ravenpaw, and ternpaw all spend some time together, establishing themselves as friends, and copperpaw gets to know a little more about rookpaw as a result. when they're all heading home, copper and rook accidentally meet on the border, and have a genuine conversation. rook learns about copperpaw's deceased brother, and how he at one point had this faded pink collar from a kittypet he'd been fond of. during this, rookpaw's like, wtf, he looks pretty, holy shit i have to get out of here, and bolts.

rookpaw decides he can try and make friends with copperpaw as amends, and he spends some time to retrieve this collar to deliver it to copperpaw at the next gathering. around this time rookpaw befriends a clanmate named crescentpaw, who advises him a lot and tells him he's probably not straight, which rookpaw's like "whatever" but is fully in denial about having any opinion on copperpaw besides "tense friends".

following this, for some funsies at the third rendezvous we get to have the cats reenact hamilton. they're all theatre nerds. it's fun.

"not really in-rp but canon or will be canon anyways"

i've got a lot of plans for rookpaw mainly involving his father, great-grandfather and his dark forest stuff. he hates prickletongue, the feeling's mutual, although eventually prickletongue is learned to be the father of bumblesnag's kits and he's "revoked" from his spot as king.

rookpaw ends up killing kestrelpaw during dark forest training and swears off of doing it afterwards. he becomes terrified of the idea of his grandfather not really being all kind like he thought, and that he might be like that eventually anyways. often he wonders if he "looks like" jaystar, as they're both colorpoints, but not really. they don't.

kestrelpaw's twin kitepaw (these two are relatives of ploverpaw, fun fact) ends up joining HC to investigate kestrelpaw's entire vanishing from CC, and ploverpaw helps, as well as ropes rookpaw into helping without the knowledge that he's the one who did it. I'm not sure where to go from there.

ravenpaw stuff

ravenpaw's arguably more important then rookyboy, i love her lots. her story is mainly focused on becoming herself and not just an heir- her mother's more conservative ideals have her ruin her closest relationship; when ternpaw confesses to her and ravenpaw freaks out at the idea of realizing she's gay.

i dabble with the idea of crowkit (crowpaw, in this scenario) patrolling with her kin and being attacked by a owl, or hawk, something bird of prey, and jackdawstar defends her but loses her last life in a terrible time, since ravenpaw will still be PAW and have to take over early. it'd mirror ternpaw, who's mentor maggotbreath dies of old and and has her require to become full healer and name herself 'ternflight'.

ravenpaw either will become 'ravenstar', and allow herself to just follow the cycle and have herself be unhappy, change the rules with her newfound power and shape her clan for the better, or leave entirely. in the latter situation rookpaw would either join her or have to take over as leader. we'll see!

I’ve been thinking of making OC family trees (more specifically for my Warriors OCs because that’s pretty much all my OCs anyway), because A) It gives me an opportunity to draw characters I don’t draw often or have never drawn before. I mean I can’t just give the main guys attention. And B) For the background characters that have family, I want to map them out not before I forget later. My memory is fuzzy when it comes to characters I hardly think about. Basically I’m a virtual crazy cat lady, and I need a way to keep track of all these guys.

It also gives me an excuse to talk more about them.

Of course, it would be best to start from the beginning. The first generation (or the first generation you’ll probably ever see)

Cloudy, Rose, Lunar, and Luna were all born around the same time, as were their kits.

(Also just to get this out of the way early, I actually made a mistake when I was typing in Rowan’s name. I forgot I named him Rowanstorm and went with whatever I thought I named him. Uh . . . Which it wasn’t lol)

Lunar and Heather were your average couple (assuming all the couples you know of are good to eachother), and they were excited at the thought of having kits. However, the Clans were not made yet. There was no medicine cat to heal the sick or wounded. Heather would go on to have their children, but would pass away soon after their birth, leaving Lunar devastated. Luna was the first cat he thought of when he went to find a cat to raise the kits (saying he’s a tom and they’re still newborns, he didn’t have any milk to give them). She had her kits sooner, though the father wasn’t around. Luna, hearing what happened, agreed to raise her brother’s litter as well. 

And as there was not yet a system yet, their kits weren’t given any suffix. Well . . . except for Nightshade, but she was named after a plant with the same name. Everyone else was just Owl, Charcoal (who never joined the Clans, so he kept that name), Heart, Moth, Flight, and Remorse. Lunar’s kits eventually growing up to create the Clans. Not being able to choose between their children, Luna and Lunar decided to live together in a different area away from the new territories. Charcoal joined them too.

I would go into too much detail on that, but I’ll get to that later. I actually should get around to this lore, so it’ll definitely happen. Just not here. Weve also got another family to talk about, plus I think I explained some of this before in some discord screenshots a few months back.

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

But anyway, let’s move on to Rose and Cloudy’s group. Again, their relationship isn’t anything special, they’re your average couple. Unlike Heather, Rose actually lived to see her kits grow up. Both of them did. Blossom and Rowan grew really close to their parents. Cloudy would take them on adventures to explore the territories. Rose was more relaxed, but she was the one who usually broke the two up when they were fighting. And if she noticed something bothering either of her kits, she was almost always the first to reach out. 

When Lunar’s kits began warring against eachother over who should rule, both Rose and Cloudy took Flight’s side. Rowan and Blossom didn’t know what side to pick, and neither were they willing to potentially fight their parents if they ended up disagreeing with them. For a short while, Rowan and Blossom escaped to Remorse’s group (she made a shelter for the cats who didn’t want to be involved in her siblings’ war, or planned to stop it). 

When they found out their parents had died in the war after it ended, they were torn between joining the newly-founded FlightClan in honor of what their parents were fighting for, or to stay with Remorse’s group (now RemorseClan). Eventually, they both decided on the former, saying their good-lucks and good-byes to their old groupmates. One of Flightstar’s first acts as leader was giving everycat under her care a new name, while staying respectful to the names they were given, thus Blossom and Rowan’s new names: Blossomheart and Rowanstorm.

Rowanstorm tells a story about how he and his sister managed to take down a large, scary buzzard! Though he might of exaggerated it a bit.

This is a commission for my friend and their warrior cat character, Rowanstorm! I think most of my followers are into warrior cats so uh, I’ll post more cats here in that regard!

[i-likegamesbut-cant-playthem]

lakestar was being mauled by a raccoon before his eyes for a single large mouse and he wanted to stop the creature from hurting him but he saw rowanstorm in front of him rowanstorm backed him up against a wide tree the kind thats white and flakey with markings like eyes. stonestrike was trembling as rowanstorm glared at him as he said "you could let lakestar die hes had his run but dont you want to be leader?!" "no!" stonestrike cried "i mean not really i just" his eyes were flushed with tears god i must seem so pathetic to lakestar he thought to himself. him the grassclan deputy crying to a useless ghost as his leader died. you know what i'm going to kill him myself. he stepped foreward and clawed slightly at the raccon who hissed in anoyence he quickly grabbed the plump mouse and flung it as far as he could the raccoon dashed away towards it. he sheathed his claws and walked slowly to lakestar who was scarred and bleeding from a wound on his back. lakestar cried for help in a raspy voice. stonestrike unsheathed his claws and placed his right paw on his head "no" he heard lakestar rasp out. "i'm sorry lakestar but it simply had to be done". Stonestrike pushed his claws down into the leaders head feeling his toes squish against the gore. lakestars eyes finally faded and rolled into his head as he died.

Mentors and New-Claws

Select rangers who oversee the training of all new-claws.

   The Oak Colony Mentors have a certain hierarchy about them, with those who have mentored longer being higher “ranking.” They teach young new-claws during their field training and supervise the Rangers who are given new-claws to train; training the trainers. They work as a unit to make sure that young cats have their footing on the cliffs, learn the best ways to hunt in the territory and fight effectively.  

   Stagcharge is basically the top Mentor who reports directly to the Captain and shares the status of training in the entire Colony-it helps that the Captain is also his mate. This group of five has an interesting dynamic with each other and can sometimes be a bit clique-y as they all 

get along and view each other highly. They hold daily meetings at sunset to communicate about training techniques and new-claws that are struggling. They are a united force in Oak Colony.

They were joined by Snowfeather, who spotted her own new-claw, Moon, trying to sneak away after Wrensong on her way to the Cliff Gardens. There was no doubt Moon would be an Herbalist someday, as Snowfeather assured the young molly—but until that day, she had to learn to hunt and defend herself like every other ranger in the colony.

From Rowanstorm to Styrmir

Hey everybody just making this post about my sudden changes. This is gonna be the start of me changing a lot of stuff with my mun blog and name. I’ll even be changing my signature soon as well. Please bear with me. I’ve needed to do this update as Rowanstorm just had too many other blogs with similar names and then I’ve had it since high school. It gave a feeling of nostalgia and I’ll miss it greatly but it’s time for change and it’ll be a good one. Once I’m done everything will hopefully show a better more modern me. Thanks!

Moon 3

Wisptuft was climbing a tree and got a splinter from one of the branches.

Batfang no longer has a running nose.

Spiderstar feels much better: their soreness is gone.

Firecrest wonders if they're Rowanstorm's friend in every reality…
