MountainClan ~ Noble and Strong

MountainClan ~ Noble and Strong

General Information/Introduction:
MountainClan cats are the rulers of the forest placed at the bottom of high-peaked mountains. They are well-adapted to tundra-like climates, which is what allows them to shelter here. In order to adapt, they grow long thick coats to keep warm against harsh winter weather, and they spend the season of autumn hunting, since most prey animals go into hibernation during the following season. Most of these cats are noble and strong, always trying to do the right thing. They follow the warrior code, but they will bend the rules if they see that it is necessary. MountainClan is very accepting of newcomers, but they are clever, and they know when an outsider cannot be trustworthy. In general, these cats are strong, noble, and dependable.

Territory/Camp:
MountainClan’s territory lies on a mountainous terrain that stretches and descends into an alpine forest. It consists of many coniferous trees and wildflowers. Due to the territory being located on a mountain, the climate varies on point of elevation. At lower elevation points, temperatures range from an average of 40-60 degrees Fahrenheit, but as elevation rises, temperatures can fall below freezing. Despite the chilly weather year-round, MountainClan still calls this place their home. Their camp is located in a clearing of the forest that is found at a low-elevated part of the hilly area. Because the camp is surrounded by mountains and trees, it is well-protected from nearby predators, and for this very reason is why they chose to shelter in this particular spot of the forest. It is hard to attack, but easy to defend. MountainClan cats sleep in sturdy and well-packed dens in order to keep warm from the chilly winds that blow by. In the center of the camp, stands a tall boulder. This is where the leader stands in order to address the clan and to perform ceremonies.

Important Landmarks:

Frosted River- Frosted River is a long and narrow river that flows throughout the territory. It acts as MountainClan’s main water source, and it serves as a border, separating the mountains from the forest. The water is quite shallow, but stepping stones can be found further down. Not only does the river provide water for the clan, but fish also can be caught if so desired.

Chilled Pond- Chilled Pond is a small pond that can be found at the bottom of a slow-flowing waterfall. It is far away from anything else in the territory, and it is where medicine cats and leaders journey in order to receive dreams from StarClan. In order to get here, the journeying cats must cross the stepping stones of the Frosted River and climb up the mountain until a camp-like site is found. This area is well hidden due to it being so far away. In order to share tongues with StarClan, the cats must lick the water.

Hot Spring- Deeper into the forest, a small pond-shaped pool of water is located. However, instead of the water being cold, it is quite warm. Cats often come here to warm up and relax. The Hot Spring lies in the middle of the thick bushes that guard it.

Willow Tree- the Willow Tree is a tall tree in the forest that is great for climbing. Apprentices often travel here to practice climbing. In addition to the tree being good for climbing, hunting is often successful here.

Abandoned Camp Site- the Abandoned Camp Site is a large open area on the other edge of the forest, serving as the border opposite to the Frosted River. It has a few twoleg houses that have been abandoned for ages. However, twolegs still adventure there every now and then.

Prey found in this area:

Birds
Chickarees
Mice
Shrews
Snow Hares
Squirrels
Wood rats

Predators found in this area:

Bobcats (Less common)
Cougars (Less common)
Foxes (Common)
Snow Leopards (Rare)
Twolegs (Occasionally)
Wolves (Rare)


Rules:
1.Falconstar’s rules, as always
2.Keep the names and appearances of your characters realistic, please
3.No asking for deputy. I will choose who the deputy will be. If you ask, you will likely not be chosen.
4.Only one important rank per person.
5.Please try to write at least two complete sentences per post per character. No one-liners.
6.Please be active. If you are inactive for a month, and you have not announced your absence, then I will remove your characters. If you have an important rank, then I will remove your characters after two weeks.
7.Please keep in mind the number of warriors available for mentoring before making an apprentice. I don’t like it when there are more apprentices than warriors.
8.Ask before doing anything major with the plot.
9.If you read the rules, the password is whatever your favorite season is. (So, put either spring, summer, autumn, or winter)
10.Remove the password from your forms after you are accepted so that others won’t skip the rules and copy someone else’s answer.
11.I will allow a cat to catch no more than 5 pieces of prey for a single hunt. No cat is a perfect hunter.

Leader: Briarstar- Briarstar is a medium-sized brown tabby with long fur and green eyes. The MountainClan leader has a lighthearted, yet stubborn personality. She is valiant, patient, and clever. Briarstar is highly respected by her Clan, and she is a great leader. She is a strong swimmer, and she is also good at jumping. Briarstar is mostly kind and easygoing, but she is firm when she needs to be. Briarstar is 46 moons old. She has 6 out of 9 lives left. (✞~Spottedleaf ~✞)

Deputy:

Medicine Cat:Brokendreams- Brokendreams is a gray she-cat with white splotches. She is completely blind, though her smell and hearing is strong. She has baby blue eyes.

Medicine Cat Apprentice:

Warriors:
Graynose- Graynose is a large, muscular, broad-shouldered tom cat with a thick and long pelt. He has dark blue-gray fur and white points except for on his muzzle where there is no white. He has a randomly pink nose and pale, leaf-green eyes with yellow flecks. He has a long scar across his shoulders, and an abnormally long tail. Graynose is kind and understanding. He always takes everyone's opinion into consideration and tries not to upset anyone. However, he's very capable of making tough decisions when he knows they're the right one, even if no one agrees with him. He's friendly towards mostly everyone but when asked about his past, he freezes up and stammers a lot, even lying about it. He keeps secrets from mostly everyone, especially on how he got the scar on his shoulders. He is 26 moons old. (beech)

Darkshade- Darkshade is a broad-shouldered, dark gray tabby tom with a white dash on his chest and wide golden eyes. He has a scar on his left shoulder and a small tear in his right ear. Darkshade isn't the most social cat out there. He usual stays at the edge of camp, watching over his clanmates but rarely ever mingles with them. However he is always ready to defend MountainClan to death from whoever dares threaten them. He has a soft spot for kits, but he doesn't show it in the presence of other cats. He doesn't really have any notable skills. He's pretty average at both hunting and fighting. He is 46 moons old. (Orientall)

Swiftclaw- Swiftclaw is a slender white she-cat with silver tabby patches. She has blue-green eyes with teal speckles, and darker grey spots under her eyes much like freckles. She has lanky legs and a wiry body, complete with a long, whip-thin tail. Swiftclaw is a proud, ambitious cat. She is self-assured and confident, and very forthright and honest. She's not afraid to speak her mind, even when she really shouldn't, and has little patience for those who don't work hard enough. She doesn't suffer fools lightly. Despite being a little harsh and brash, she tends to get along pretty well with everyone thanks to her enthusiastic spirit. But she's picky when it comes to choosing friends, and doesn't trust cats easily, and thus strongly dislikes those outside of the clan. Rogues or kittypets who join the clan will have to work hard to win her acceptance and her tolerance. She also doesn't like to accept help from others, and although this makes her seem rude, it's really because she doesn't want to fail herself or let others down. She is 26 moons old. (Swiftclaw)

Onyxshade- Onyxshade is a slate-grey shorthair with darker grey tabby stripes. These colors fade into pale grey, then silver, and finally white around his belly and paws. His ears, spine, and the tip of his tail are charcoal-black. These different shades of grey, silver and black give him an ashen appearance, and his brilliant green eyes stand out quite brightly in contrast. Onyxshade is intelligent and resourceful. He's very independent and a bit of a drifter, often keeping his distance from other cats. He's honest, but can be a little blunt and sometimes oblivious to the feelings of others. However, when around those he trusts and knows well, he's more sensitive and gentle, and very protective. He has a strong sense of right and wrong, and looks down on those who often mess up, fool around or don't take their duties seriously. He's known to be a stiff and a little strict around younger cats especially. He is 38 moons old. (Swiftclaw)

Silvercloud- Silvercloud is a silver tabby she-cat with blue-silver eyes. She is soft, kind and gentle, but she doesn't like to speak, and she is quite shy. She is 23 moons old. (oenomaus)

((It's not really my place to say it, but I don't think it really works where a cat can change their name. I think the Clan leader would have to do it!))

[✞~Spottedleaf ~✞]

(ThunderStorm, Yeah, the Clan leader does have to change the cat's name. Also, 17 moons is a bit young for a full medicine cat. Do you mind bumping the age up a few moons? beech, I will choose during a clan meeting. I'll decide on who to choose after more people have made warriors. Lily~Myth, accepted)
