There was once a cat, a large tom with a fluffy gray pelt, named Storm. He was born as a stray in the Twolegplace and had left his kin by the age of four moons, so it wasn't long before he had no memories of the cats he'd grown up around. He lived in a shadowy pine forest as an adult, terribly alone and melancholy. Whenever he came across other loners, he would greet them warmly and invite them to stay at his den underneath a pine for the night. Many accepted and moved on the next morning, remembering him always as the friendly cat who didn't mind sharing his territory.
It was many seasons, around the time he reached the age of fifty moons, before he met a she-cat he loved enough - and who loved him enough - to be mates with. Her name was Berry, and she had soft ginger tabby fur. After meeting her, life was much less lonelier than before. They continued being hospitable towards anyone passing through the forest. Soon enough, they had a litter of three tom-kits. This was when they decided they were tired of being a lone couple.
Storm and Berry went out, searching for cats to join a group. They'd heard of many groups before, mostly travellers, but they would make a new type: one they called a Clan. Luckily, they met cats willing to join their Clan. After plenty had joined and they'd even recruited a healer, they began forming their lifestyle. Healers were medicine cats. Members were called warriors, and young members who were learning to hunt and fight were apprentices. Queens, kits, and elders were to be taken care of before anyone else.
Of course, I'm sure you already know all of the traditions and such; I don't need to explain anything else, other than the fact that Storm became Stormstar. It's been many generations since that point, and PineClan - named after their home - is quite happy still. So why not join?
Rules
|| Follow all forum rules.
|| No Mary Sues, Gary Stus, godmodding, or powerplaying.
|| Ask me through PMs to make any large change to the plot including prophecies, omens, attacks, etc.
|| If you want to kill a cat off, seriously harm a cat, or have one of your characters have a mate that doesn't belong to you, ask the other character's owner for permission privately. Having a crush on a cat doesn't require permission.
|| Answer yes/no in the Other part of your form: have you read any of The Broken Code?
|| Tell me if you're going to be away from the forums and will be unable to roleplay. If you don't and you're absent for more than three days, I'll message you. If no response is given within 24 hours, your characters will be handed off to others until you return.
|| No Tigerstars or Brokenstars unless you actually want your cat to be a main villain. Otherwise, they'll just end up exiled.
|| Ask me permission before making your cats have kits. When you ask, I'll need to know how many will be in the litter and if any will be stillborn. This is to prevent overpopulation in the Clan. If there are too many cats, you'll be refused.
Camp is in the exact middle of PineClan territory. Surrounding it is plain pine forest.
The southern border is called Pines of the Fallen because any and all dead from PineClan are buried around the scent markers.
The northern border is marked by a Thunderpath, across from which is a moderately sized Twolegplace.
The western and eastern borders don't have landmarks attached to them, only trees and scent markers.
There's a stream that cuts through their territory some ways before you reach the western border. It's their main water source other than a pond near camp and the many puddles throughout the forest. There's a short, fallen log across it that acts as a bridge to get to the border.
There's an abandoned fox den near the Pines of the Fallen that new foxes will occasionally come to reinhabit.
The sources of prey are mice, shrews, miscellaneous birds, squirrels, and white-tailed deer. The deer are rarely hunted, but when they are it takes at least an entire patrol. Fish can be found in the stream.
Camp
Camp's walls are built from strong bracken, as are the dens - excluding the leader's den. There's always a cat sitting on guard right outside of camp entrance.
The leader's den is on the clear other side of camp from the entrance. It's underneath a large pine tree, which was Stormstar's original den ever since he'd first moved in. It's quite small, only big enough for one nest and space for a cat or two to stand in front. Even still, you'd have to bend your neck quite drastically. For meetings, the leader jumps to one of the top branches. The den, overall, is called the TallPine.
The warriors' and apprentices' den are beside each other on the left side of camp. They're about the same size, able to fit approximately twenty nests if they're shoved together. As for the apprentices' den, there's never been so many; they have plenty of free space to eat prey and mess around inside.
The nursery and elders' den are beside each other on the right side of camp. They're both smaller, only able to fit ten nests if shoved together.
To the left of the entrance is the medicine den, which is the largest of them all. There's a space directly inside which has multiple pre-made nests for patients. Nearby is the herb store, which is just a series of pockets made in the bracken wall to store supplies. Behind a wall is where the medicine cat and their apprentice, if there is one, sleep. It's the smallest space of the entire den.
In the exact center of camp is the fresh-kill pile, which is a small dug-out hole in the earth for prey to go in.
Near TallPine is a hole in the wall which leads into the dirtplace, a small area enclosed with more bracken walls for cats in camp or confined to camp to make dirt in. Many times have parts of the wall been broken for cats to sneak out, but they're repaired time and time again by the warriors.

And we're open! If you want your cat to be a deputy candidate, please make that their role. If they aren't chosen, they'll be made a warrior. Make sure their age is at least fifty moons. When we begin, we'll act as if they've always been deputy to avoid plot errors.
If you're going to make an apprentice, I request that you make at least one warrior for each one as well.
Feel free to make familial relations with other people's cats with permission.

These are my forms, to show information about my cats that the allegiances will leave out.
Username: agamer Character Name: Badgerstar Age: 80 moons Gender: Molly Role: Leader Appearance: Badgerstar is a large, broad-shouldered, fluffy gray she-cat with pitch black tabby stripes. Her undercoat is a pure, unbroken snowy white. A long scar splits the fur on her right shoulder. She has large amber eyes and small ears. Personality: Badgerstar is a cautious, hesitant she-cat. She, as the leader, wants the best for PineClan and would never do anything that results in harm to any of her Clanmates. She thinks literally everything through, and she refuses to act - even if it's important - without considering every possible path or consequence. This is much unlike how she was in her youth, and so she takes time out of her day to speak to young cats about making the right choices. Almost every cat younger than herself can say that they've been taken away privately and spoken to about this as apprentices. Skills/Flaws: Badgerstar is a great fighter and simply an average hunter. She's awful at swimming, fishing, or climbing. However, her stealth - despite her larger build - is phenomenal and one of the best in PineClan. Kin: Her parents are long gone. She was an only kit. Her two daughters, Featherkit and Snowkit, are in StarClan. Mate/Crush: She broke things off with her mate, Frost, when she was still fresh out of apprenticeship. Other: Her warrior name was Badgerstep. She once was in a relationship with a rogue that resulted in a litter of two kits, but both were stillborn. She took this as an omen to break things off, and she hasn't taken another mate or had more kits since.
Username: agamer Character Name: Lionberry Age: 12 moons Gender: Tom Role: New warrior Appearance: Lionberry is a small, medium-furred tom with a golden tabby pelt. His eyes are small and a deep shade of copper. Personality: Lionberry is very friendly and talkative to those he knows well, but is only plainly polite and quiet-spoken to those he doesn't. He's easily frightened and gullible, which makes him an easy victim for pranking or teasing. He's afraid of incredibly specific things including water, crowded spaces, and loud noises. Whenever there's a Clan meeting, he sits away from the others in a way that he can still see and hear the leader. Skills/Flaws: Lionberry is very average at all but climbing. He loves climbing and prefers spending his time in trees. He would rather die than face water, whether it be to swim or fish. The only exception is getting a drink, which he does very quickly whenever necessary. Kin: All loners that will never be seen. Mate/Crush: Open to having a future mate, prefers she-cats. Other: Was a loner taken in by the Clan at apprentice age. He's very secretive about his past, kin, and reasoning for joining PineClan.

Username: Spottedleaf123 Character Name: Cindernose Age: 50 moons Gender: She-cat Role: Medicine Cat Appearance: Cindernose is a medium-sized she-cat with a small frame. She has soft short fur that is a medium shade of gray in color. In the right light, her fur might appear gray, as she is of the Russian blue breed of cats. Cindernose has slightly darker gray paw pads, and the same goes with her nose. She has gentle green eyes.
Personality: Cindernose is an introverted she-cat. She keeps to herself a lot of the time, unless she is around cats she enjoys spending time with. When she does socialize with others, she is kind until the cat she is interacting with gives her a reason not to be. Cindernose is not easily angered, but since it takes so much to make her angry, she has a hard time forgiving. She doesn't like to hold grudges, but it's hard for her not to sometimes. As a medicine cat, Cindernose prefers to be independent. She is picky about how medicine cat tasks get done, so she is reluctant to accept help. She has always been stubborn in that way, ever since her mentor died, leaving her to be the full-time medicine cat. Skills/Flaws: Obviously, Cindernose's main skill is her knowledge with herbs. Apart from that, she knows basic defense moves in case she gets attacked, and she can occasionally catch a small mouse or two if she tried hard enough. She's a good tracker, so she can at least sense when something is near by, prey or not. As for flaws, her main one comes from her independence. She doesn't accept help very often, and that can affect her in a negative way if she gets overwhelmed. Also, sometimes she is so focused on helping others that she hardly takes time for herself. She has to learn that she has to watch her own health if she wants to be the best medicine cat she can be. Kin: Unknown Mate/Crush: None. Other: No, I haven't. I still need to read Thunder and Shadow.
Username: Spottedleaf123 Character Name: Brambleheart Age: 36 moons Gender: Tom Role: Warrior Appearance: Brambleheart is a large and muscular tom cat. He has a long, thin body build, and when he stands up he appears a little taller than the average cat. Brambleheart has big ears as well. He is a short-haired cat with dark brown, mackerel tabby fur. He has a patch of white under his chin, as well as other white markings here and there. Other than that, his fur is just dark brown with darker tabby stripes from head to tail. Brambleheart has deep golden-brown eyes.
Personality: Brambleheart is an outgoing, extroverted warrior. He loves to chat and goof off, as long as there is no work to be done. Even when there is work to be done, though, he tries to make it fun. He is a hard-worker, but sometimes he loses focus on what the real task is. Brambleheart is easily bored, so he doesn't like to stick to one task for too long either. It doesn't matter how much he enjoys it. Eventually, he will get tired of doing it after extended amounts of time. He doesn't mind the routine of a warrior, but he prefers to change it up whenever he can. When socializing with others, the dark brown tabby is silly and kind, yet he's sarcastic at the same time. Brambleheart has a big sense of humor, but he occasionally fails to watch what he says. In other words, sometimes he says stuff that he doesn't mean, so he might seem rude at times. Skills/Flaws: Brambleheart enjoys hunting and fighting equally, but that doesn't make him an expert at either one of them. He is an amateur at best. His fighting skills are slightly better than his hunting skills, however. His quick wits allow him to move swiftly and dodge attack moves quite easily, so as long as he is on the defensive side, he is more than average at it. Brambleheart's biggest flaws are being unable to stay concentrated on a certain task for long periods of time, along with not thinking before he acts. Kin: Unknown Mate/Crush: Open. Other: My answer is the same as above.

Here be me chars. Is it okay that I have so many? xD
Don't want to over-populate, lol.
Username: leopardspeed
Character Name: Addertalon Age: 57 Gender: Tom Role: Deputy Candidate/warrior Appearance: A short-haired, desaturated yellow cat with brown, adder-like stripes. His eyes are yellow. He is missing a patch of fur on his shoulder, and has several scars from battles long past. Personality: Addertalon is a very ambitious, and fierce tom. He is incredibly loyal, and would die for his clan before letting it fall into enemy paws. Though he comes off very rough, he is, deep down, gentle and kind-hearted. He would protect his clan with all the ferocity of Lionclan. (if that lore exists in this universe ;P) He is stubborn, and leaps into most problems with claws unsheathed, though he truly does try to think things through, when he remembers. Skills/Flaws: He is a great fighter, and is skilled at hunting as well. He is naturally charismatic, but usually doesn't think things through before saying them, which can cause some problems. He is not a very intelligent cat, but he is not dumb, he is just not really any better than average. Kin: N/AMate/Crush: Addertalon > Rosepelt
Other: I have read no books from the broken code, and I am currently working my way through Omen of the Stars. No spoilers please
Username: leopardspeed Character Name: Rosepelt Age: 53 Gender: She-cat Role: Deputy candidate/warrior Appearance: A warm, reddish brown she-cat with soft, medium length fur. Her eyes are pale green. She has white spots on her ears, and more more thinly spread throughout her body as well. She has a nicked right ear, and a few scars along her side and shoulders as well. Personality: She is gentle and kind, but is rather sensitive and insecure. She can often get rather detached and solitary if she is feeling unwell or upset, sometimes feeling that the rest of the clan does not understand her. She has a deep-seated crush on Addertalon, but would never admit it. Skills/Flaws: She is very fast, and a skilled climber, able to catch squirrels and birds surprisingly well. Kin: Her mother, Whitetail. Mate/Crush: Rosepelt > Addertalon
Other: See above
Username: leopardspeed Character Name: Whitetail Age: 80 Gender: She-cat Role: Starclan warrior/queen Appearance: She is very similar in looks to Rosepelt, with a rosy-brown coat with white stripes and spots. Her entire tail is white as well, though. Her eyes are strong green. Personality: She is gentle by nature, but after losing a kit to a cold leaf-bare, she has hardened up. She is nurturing, and wishes only that she had lived longer to serve her clan. Skills/Flaws: She is very fast and a good fisher-cat. She is rather untrusting and protective, guarding her surviving kit in life and watching over her in death. Kin: Rosepelt, her daughter. Mate/Crush: Another Starclan cat. I really can't have anymore characters than this. Other: See above

Accepted! And while I won't put dead cats into allegiances, you're more than welcome to roleplay Whitetail watching over Rosepelt so long as they never interact (without permission, of course).
I'll go ahead and put your cats in. Thank you for joining.

I'm thinking one more person to join with at the least one character, and we can start. I would really prefer if someone knew joined, but any of the current two members (or three, including Hollywing) can make new ones.
