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.
FRIENDS – Mantisclaw doesn't do friends. Purposefully driving others away in order to protect herself, the only cats she is close with are her brother and her aunt. That being said, a brutally honest and persistent cat may be able to break her shell. Otherwise she may be tempted to form a tenuous bond with any other pessimistic clan grumps.
ENEMIES – Mantisclaw's penchant for making enemies is a mile wide. Cold and rude, she is not pleasant to be around and unafraid to lash out seemingly at random. In addition, she can't stand gossips or overly naive cats.
LOVERS – Mantisclaw is bisexual, so she is open to a relationship with toms or she-cats. However, any romance will probably be very slow. They would definitely need to be a persistent cat to get her to open up her heart to them, and I would prefer any romance start with a friendship and slow burn up from there!
FRIENDS – Kraiteye is the definition of the dad friend. As such he doesn't have many close friends outside of his immediate siblings, but any senior warriors or elders would find it easy to get along with Kraiteye. Because of his quiet nature and ability to sit and listen to other cat's prattle, he would also make a good friend for an especially talkative cat who just likes being able to speak uninterrupted.
ENEMIES – Kraiteye would dislike anyone who he believes is overly reckless or jeopardizes the safety of the clan or his family. Bullies or even cats he deems too impulsive and adventurous would rub the tom the wrong way, although he'll never come to words or blows, preferring to ignore and avoid those he doesn't like.
LOVERS – Currently, Kraiteye is still in love with his childhood flame, Taropetal. However, Taropetal is currently in a somewhat tumultuous relationship with his brother, Barnacleleap (ADOPTABLE!). It would be entertaining to see this guy try to navigate another cat flirting with him, irregardless of whether or not it comes to anything. Bonus points if the cat who has a crush on him is much younger.
Mantisclaw & Barracudabite She has such an interesting personality, I think it would be fun to see where things would go and how Barracuda and her would get along considering he is also a bit of a grump. I feel like they'd either get along well or hate each other haha. If you have any ideas there I would love to hear 'em, but a thread with them would be fun for sure!
Kraiteye & Tinystar There is no doubt that Tinystar will get along with Kraiteye. His personality is similar to hers in a few aspects and they are both very duty driven. I think they could be really good friends!
JC: My character Orchidbloom isn't added yet, but she's no-nonsense and very practical. I wouldn't necessarily call her grumpy, but she's very realistic, so maybe her and Mantis would have a grudging respect for each other? Or if not, maybe they actively don't get along and butt heads? I think it'd be fun to explore.
TC: I have both Sharksong and Tangpaw! I could see Shark and Krait sharing easy banter. He is also confident and a touch aggressive, so I could see some underlying tension between them too. Krait mentors Tang's brother Tuna, and as of now Tang and Tuna are really close, so perhaps Krait is almost fatherly to her? She's very bubbly and inquisitive and easy to get along with too.
Fernpool & Mantis: I think Fern would see Mantis as being young and irritating
and think of her as wanting attention more than anything with how she is rude to everyone. Fern would see that she is loyal to the clan but would not want much to do with her until she 'grows up', not understanding that this is just how Mantis is. Fernpool wouldn't find her behavior acceptable and would
For sure would love to see a thread with Mantisclaw and Barracudabite! I think it really just depends on the rhythm of the roleplay whether or not they will get along.
Also Tinystar and Kraiteye would definitely be friends. He would have a lot of respect for her, and he is just a very duty-driven cat so from a leader's perspective there isn't anything to dislike about him.
It would take a while, but Mantisclaw does have an appreciation for realists. (And anyone who reminds her of her aunt.) Orchidbloom could be one of the cats in the clan that doesn't always rub Mantisclaw the wrong way. Maybe they are almost like patrol buddies? In that Mantisclaw prefers going on patrols with her because she is willing to just get the job done?
Also Kraiteye would probably be a little overwhelmed by Sharksong, but he would definitely get along with him. Also Kraiteye is Tidalclan's dad so if he ever saw that Tangpaw needed a little extra help he would definitely awkwardly hover and ask if they need anything.
katara, Mantisclaw always needs enemies! I'm totally happy with Fernpool being one of them.
i'm game whenever you'd like for a barracuda/mantis post! really interested to see how their dynamic plays out in rp. and definitely eventually some tiny/krait friend plots too c: sounds good to me!
I feel like these two are obviously going to have crossed paths at some point or another. That being said, I would love for Kraiteye to maybe either think of Hurricane has an annoyance, or someone he could possibly try to make better.
BARNACLELEAP X KRAITEYE
Now I love, love, love the idea of these two still being extremely close. Like, Barnacle tells Krait everything close. Of course, I love the idea that it somehow slips that Krait still has feelings for Taro and Barnacle reacts by attacking his brother in a hot-headed moment. I would love for this to maybe create a rift between the brothers, but Barnacle eventually realizes that his brother is more important - family is more important - than anything else.
Kraiteye can 100% think of Hurricane as an annoyance. Plus he has the consistent urge to fix people, so he can definitely be giving out dad lectures.
Yes!! Barnacle plot. I love them being super close, especially the idea that Barnacle tells him everything. I also raise you finding out causes a rift and causes Krait to have an anxiety attack/mental breakdown. I think most of the clan cats and especially hos siblings have an image of Krait as being steady and reliable so seeing that weakness in Krait could be a super interesting arc for their relationship and reconciliation.
Mantisclaw / Cricketstorm: These two are pretty similar, considering they both lash out and push others away. I can see this causing them to either have a silent understanding of each other, or they butt heads a lot. It would be fun to see how they interact in a thread! frog
