09.30.2019 → There has been some exciting changes on CD lately! We've added a new monarchy to the groups of cats on the islands, as well as restructured the boards a bit to allow for some space - thus, redrawing the map! We've also promoted Nifty to Global Mod! There are some auditions open right now for JungleClan Deputy as well as for all of the new Kingdom of Mokuhau high ranks - Artemis
09.12.2019 → Unfortunately Elaedria is stepping down as administrator due to life being too busy to keep up! The site will be going through some restructuring in high ranks as well due to this. Effective immediately, the word count is now 100 minimum. Some more changes will be coming in the future - members have been emailed a survey to help us figure out what to change and how to get better. Thanks for your patience! - Artemis
WEATHER
Year 55, Scorching Sands 09.05.2019 → The temperatures of the islands are a steady 98° F on land/ high 80s in water. There is almost no breeze, the sun is uncomfortably warm.
Prey during the day is pretty scarce due to the heat, however is quite active after the sun goes down.
Lost in the dense jungles of scattered islands, facing perils unimagined by their ancestors, are three warrior groups - The traditional JungleClan, descendants of the original clans carried aboard a twoleg contraption from their home long ago and breaking new ground on old beliefs. Second, the curious TidalClan, made up of kittypets who chose to abandon their long since passed twoleg civilization ways for those of true felines. Lastly, the mysterious Tribe of Twisted Roots, hidden in the mist from others with their strange ways and a deeper knowledge of the land around them. Together they must learn how to take their fate into their own paws if they wish to survive this land of erupting mountains and roaring waters.
Join our crew and dive into an island-based Warriors roleplay - a twist on the original series by Erin Hunter. We are a semi-literate site with a minimum of 100 words per post.
We have a brand new group on the island and, as such, need to fill the ranks! This is the audition for the Crown Ruler of the Kingdom of Mokuhau!
To be considered, please fill out the below form. This is not a first come first serve audition, we will choose the best candidate for the position. Please note you may only hold one high rank per account on the site to make it attainable for as many as possible!
Things To Know Before Applying
Choosing The Crown Ruler Staff will be choosing the first Crown Ruler of the Kingdom! A couple of notes to keep in mind before applying. Due to the lack of a religion or belief system in the Kingdom, the leader will only be granted one life. The next note is that whichever cat is chosen for the position will be expected to choose a mate (their consort) and have kits (in order to have heirs for succession). What Does HR Entail? There is no quota. We would love one post a week in character if you can just because active high ranks are essential for warriors sites. You will also get to be a bit more involved in helping launch the upcoming plot of CD due to the timing of this audition.
Do I have to audition with an existing char? Nope! So long as your roleplay sample on the audition is written from the character who would become Crown Ruler then you don't have to even have the biography fully complete. As this is a new position, we fully expect to see lots of new characters!

Username: shelby Discord: shelby#5449 Length of Time on Site: since mid-September General Activity Level: I've been on pretty much every day, besides some weekends. I plan to be that active besides during finals ;-; Character Name: Piranha Bite Age in Moons: 40 moons Rank Applying For: Kingdom Crown Ruler Why Does Your Character Fit the Role?: (+) Intelligent // Piranha Bite excelled in all things studious. He has sat with the elders and shared tongues till Silverpelt raced across the sky every night. He believes, though crowned ruler, he must have a trusted group of advisers (whom he's selected as an elder of each gender and his shaman). He knows when to speak from his heart and from his mind. Living in a climate such as the mountain, he knows smart moves could be the difference between life and death. (+) Strategic // Piranha Bite knows the kingdom will follow him, through thick or thin, as long as he holds the crown. However, he isn't just in it for the pompous life style and adoration. He carefully selects who becomes the Hunters or Fighters, sometimes rumored to have some kind of special power to predict the future of each kit. His careful eye has caused the kingdom to become strong and ever growing. (-) Childish // While he takes his position very seriously, he has a laid back personality and enjoys all things fun. He is constantly cracking jokes and brushing off things that he deems "unimportant". The thought of finding his consort and producing heirs strikes a bit of fear in him. (-) Demanding // Piranha Bite expects the best from each of those who belong to the kingdom. If you are a Hunter and don't provide enough for the kingdom or are constantly slacking in their duties, he will scold them immediately. If those among the battle-ready do not properly train and become lazy, he will assign additional patrols and skill trainings to them. He is also a bit of a clean-freak, so organization and cleanliness within the kingdom is always expected. Roleplay Sample: The mouth of the cave Kingdom of Mokuhau called home whistled as the chilled breeze coursed through the rocky interior. Piranha Bite padded towards the opening, ears twitching but unfazed from the constant howling. He chuckled to himself, while 40 moons felt like it was a lifetime ago, he remembered yowling into the cave to hear the echoes as a youngster like it was yesterday. The large tom shook out his fur, bracing himself for the change in temperature as he leaped out of the cave to the adjacent rocks.
He landed with a soft thud and sat back on his hunches. The tom, while broad with muscle, shivered a bit in the morning wind. He blended effortlessly on the mountaintop; pelt gleaming a snowy white. The only thing that separated him from the snow caps were his yellowish-green eyes. Piranha Bite squinted at the sky, a shrill call of a hawk broke the silence of the morning. Piranha Bite knew his kingdom would rise with the sun settling in the sky, but he soaked in this last moment alone. Today, he thought, was the beginning of the rest of my new life.
Piranha Bite loved his kingdom. While he enjoyed the crown ruler life, something about the pureness of the morning before the sun fully broke across the sky, filled him with such joy he couldn't give up this daily ritual. Since the passing of his father, Palm Sway, the tom had only a few days between when he was officially crowned and his father's sudden death. And with the crown came responsibility. The tom gulped at the thought. Will I be able to do it? He thought, tail flicking nervously behind him. But he wasn't thinking of the kingdom, he was mostly concerned about picking his consort and producing his heirs.
The tom, handsome and confident, had been absolutely sick about settling down. He would become a father. Piranha Bite didn't think he had it in him. He felt like he was a kit still himself. The tom knew the day would come when his father could no longer provide for his kingdom as ruler, but everything just happened so fast. He hadn't prepared himself well enough.
"Piranha Bite?" A small, feminine voice called behind him. Startled, the tom jumped to his paws and whipped around. His eyes, widened from the sudden interruption, looked toward the mouth of the cave, finding a tiny bundle of cream fur. "You know the elders are looking for you right?" Turtle Shell purred, a smile forming on her lips. Piranha Bite's blood ran cold. Of course they are, only those old crows would be up this early on selection day, he grumbled. Sighing, he crouched down on all fours and sprang towards the cavern entrance.
He padded over to the she-cat, and chuckled, "Guess I wasn't very good at hiding, huh?" He placed a paw on her forehead and let out a low purr. Piranha Bite sighed, pointing his nose towards the inside of the cave. "I guess I'll stop acting like a snow hare and get back to business," his voice was low, butterflies filling his stomach. Turtle Shell grinned a toothy smile and padded next to him as the pair dove into the dim lit cave. Piranha Bite snuck a glance at the little she-cat, whom he'd come to appreciate as the elder's little bird. Too naive to realize the elders were taking advantage of her sweet nature, she had become the messenger, and apparently, the keeper of the ruler.
"So when can we expect new kits, Piranha Bite?" The she-cat's question made Piranha Bite come to a halt. Brow raised, the tom shook his head, "Not you too Turtle Shell. I didn't know the elder's finally obtained the ability to brainwash you." But before the she-cat could answer, a hush fell over the two. The elders and his siblings all sat in the center of the cavern, all eyes landing on their new crowned king. Piranha Bite gulped, knowing this was it.

Username: Mars Discord: Micah #3543 Length of Time on Site: Just over two months General Activity Level: I check the site at least once a day and I tend to be on discord frequently Character Name: Owl Flight Age in Moons: 58 moons Rank Applying For: Crown Ruler of the Kingdom of Mokuhau Why Does Your Character Fit the Role?:
Rational and level headed in the face of danger : One who leads by example and tends to put herself in the line of fire when such is applicable she has come to cultivate a line of thinking very much based on what past experience has come to show her works, though she does have moments when certain things may trip her up Owl Flight nonetheless refuses to back down from a challenge, rather preferring to face it head on.
Trusts and cares for her people : While it is known her own daughters carry more favour then her sons, and even then there have been rumours her Consort is not the only one to warm her nest at night though neither care to hear of such lies, no matter who she has come to find a deep love and respect for her people she hopes extends to them, further wrapped up in a persona that proves very warm and maternal, the image she wishes to project one of family no matter which subject she is conversing with. Likewise she trusts them when it comes to decisions, though alone with her council of her family and Shaman may such come to the conclusion on the larger matters those that impact all or are more trivial in overall nature are brought before her people, respected and taken into consideration their worries with any action she performs.
Macabre and cruel : While there is very few that know of this side of her those unlucky enough to watch her in the middle of interrogation or otherwise playing with her food in a manner that may release her stress without harming another knows her capacity for cruel action meant to hurt to the extreme, enjoying the pain as it twists their faces, relishing how they scream in the privacy of an area all her own. Unfortunately time has seen this grow and she has increasingly pushed her subjects she knows to be weak willed into situations that offer harm so she may enjoy it, though the guilt she feels over such is overwhelming and so the action is rarely performed.
Liar and cheat : Not beyond stooping to extremely low levels to get what she wants it is not beyond her to sprinkle in white lies or otherwise twist the truth entirely if it means she is left in a better light then the truth may offer, as such it is difficult to trust her word or otherwise deem her actions genuine for she may well simply be lying to further her place and continue to cultivate the affection for her subjects she so desires.
Roleplay Sample:
"E-excuse me, Owl Flight, s-sorry for the interruption..." The soft stammer of a shaky voice broke the soft chorus of gentle conversation, stilted its once even flow and aside put the thread of their conversation for later review, upon the intrusive figure unwelcome in their discussions numerous eyes turning. Slight thing the one chosen to carry upon trembling shoulders a message clumsy tongue could not quite articulate, about the cavernous expanse of open area did their gaze turn as though upon another point might they fix then the royal family before them, imposing each in a manner that set their heart fluttering with an uneasy rhythm.
Gentle the quirk of uplifting smile pressed into the surface of pale toned mouth, yet unfit it against the chill light encasing half lidded eyes. Mere moments did such linger though enough stilled their heart for the course of moments, caught in closing throat stale breath that left an aching heat when it arose in a sputtering cough. Almost did the lift of a limb escape their attention, slight the rotation of paw beckoning them forth. Set against the back wall of the massive cave the rocky rise on which the assembled perched was but one of many, well above their heads sat the fringe of rock jutting forth from where proclamation may be voiced, dotted about the loose stone acting as a walkway each member of the royal family. At a point she was of a height no other may match Owl Flight was loath to give up her place, the warmth within the stone sure to be leeched away when she moved for the length of time during which she had lingered had given it such, but necessary this minor loss for what seemed a matter of great import.
Back did each step as her steps alighted upon their chosen stones, all but the last. Momentary the pause within her forward momentum, cruel grown the edge of a smile bore upon surface of ivory toned muzzle. Know the controversy, the fashion in which their esteemed ruler had come to lead her life, lingering about the lowest steps the one taken as her Consort and the only son given to her amongst the swath of daughters that held high places near to her side in all assemblies. As such it was odd when her tail alighted upon the shoulder of the one deemed Frosted Dew, expected his company as she traversed the short expanse of ground separating herself and the messenger.
"Breathe, Cloud Shade, it does no one any good to get yourself worked up." The quiet rasp of Owl Flight startled the overtaxed trainee, for a moment their paws skirting the ground as they flinched back with unsteady steps, the press of a paw to their shoulder leaving their skin to crawl around the point of contact. Kind was the one before them, a faint worry lacing a furrowed brow as she lowered herself so their eyes may meet, but frightening her presence in a fashion they had been unprepared for. "Take your time then tell us your message."
Deep the gulps of breath taken in before, with a shuddering exhale that skirted along the edge of barely parted teeth, Cloud Shade found their heart evening out into a tempo more manageable though felt how it thundered against their aching ribs. "A stranger, on the western coast, he wishes to speak with you."
Involuntary the utterance of a hiss dancing upon the tip of her tongue, drawn back the trainee as the sound registered, widened their eyes as they watched on in stupefied silence. "Thank you for informing me, Cloud Shade, you may rest for today."
Upon deaf ears fell the stuttering thanks offered forth, already aside put they now that their use had been depleted, the dark gaze of Owl Flight flicking over a select few. Unnecessary the utterance of words as all arrived in quick succession, though near to her still was Frosted Dew as though he feared moving from his place would allow another to usurp it, though well she knew the tell tale anger arising in Crow Feather as she looked upon her brother. Unworthy she, in truth, but no other had shown promise that time may allow Owl Flight to hone and so upon the shoulders of her youngest daughter had the weight of heir been placed, spiteful and cruel as she was there was a certain strength needed for the work before them.
"If they are from one of the clans -" spat the word as though seared her tongue by merely allowing it passage "- you are to chase them from our land, if necessary use force, I will not have them belittling our ways when they believe the stars speak to them." Ludicrous such notion, gone those of the past once their last breath had been taken, their lives cemented in memory and nothing more. "If it truly is a stranger to this land then we will decide on the course of action once we hear him out but by no means is he welcome beyond the coast."
Other Info: I have helped make a few groups and have written leaders and deputies on other sites, I've also held staff positions which lead to me having direct influence with major plot lines so I am more than happy to do big plot lines for both Owl Flight and the group
