Closed for joining.
I like to keep my issues strong,
Because it's always darkest before dawn.

~

Two clans reside on a mountain.
Cliffclan and Streamclan.
Have you heard of them?
Likely not.
Other clans live in the valley, and have never even noticed that these two clans exist.
Cliffclan and Streamclan never attend gatherings.
Cliffclan and Streamclan are cursed with death.
Why?
Well, that's not a story I want to tell today.
But I will tell you this.
There is a Prophecy.

~

Every demon wants his pound of flesh,
But keep some for yourself,
Tonight the demons come to play.
Keep your issues strong,
Because it's always darkest before dawn.

~

The plot is rather vague. Yes, I know.
But basically, the story the plot refused to tell was that something terrible happened before.
Now, Starclan wants it's revenge on the two clans.
When it said,
"Every demon wants his pound of flesh"
They refer to the terrible thing that happened.
Everything else is self-explainatory I think, but if you're confused, rmail me and I'll gladly tell you.

This is a small group roleplay.
We will be roleplaying Streamclan.
Cliffclan will be open eventually, but for now it will be NPC, and we will all control it.
If your wondering how I came up with the prophecy, I listen to a song my friend loves.
I reccomend listening to
this song. It might get you in the mood of the roleplay.
Be warned, it's kind of depressing.

My bios are here.

Name: Swallowpaw [Swallowtail]
Gender: Female
Rank: Apprentice
Kinship: All dead.
Appearance:
A scar on her neck. Is close to where her head is, so it's not very noticeable.
It's unknown how she got it.

Personality:
Swallowpaw is docile and rather skittish. She is never chosen to go into battle for these exact reasons.
Her cowardly behavior is often looked down on. She can't really help it, so to speak. She lost her mother when she was just became an apprentice.
Not to mention she almost died on her first hunting trip. Her father died, but they never found him. Her only sibling, her brother, died by falling off a small cliff in Streamclan territory. So maybe she does have her reasons, but the clan doesn't think that makes it an excuse to be a coward.
Crush/Mate: A bit too young, don't you think?
History/Backstory: Born in Newleaf, when all the other kits are usually born.
She remembers the warmth of the sun, even though she couldn't see it. When her eyes opened, she remembered playing with her brother. She also had all the other kits in the nursery to play with, but for some reason she only trusted her brother. When she became an apprentice, she remembers how her mother licked and groomed her until it was time for the ceremony. Her brother went first, and he had the deputy as his mentor. Swallowpaw got the bad luck. She recieved Stormfeather, the arrogant, no fox-dung taking warrior. He pushed her way too hard on her first hunting lesson, nearly killed her by taking her to the small cliff, the same place where her brother died a half-moon later. Stormfeather didn't take notice that she was struggling in the lessons, and never asked if she was confused. Finally, the arrogant warrior died in battle, so she's been without a mentor ever since. Her brother and his mentor died when her brother slipped, and the deputy tried to save him. They both plunged into the rocky, frigid water below. Now Swallowpaw, not even a moon into her training, has lost all she ever loved. To top it all off, she's mentorless.
Other: She is 8 moons.

~X~

Name: Rosefur
 
Gender:
Female
Rank: Warrior
Kinship: Parents believed to have died, their whereabouts unknown.
Appearance:
Her warrior name comes from the rose coloured markings on her tabby face and her tail.

Personality:
A cat with courage and a loyal heart.
She's a small cat, so she's not powerful in battle, but she fights like a true warrior which seems to compensate her size.
She's sympathetic, which is a weak spot for Rosefur, but that's just how Rosefur is. She's a terrible hunter, and she's open to admitting it, because she thinks it's rather humorous. She probably couldn't hunt to save her life. She can be shy, but when she opens up to you she acts like you're her best friend.
Crush/Mate: Open.
History/Backstory:
Rosefur had no siblings. She got along with the other kits, playing with leaves or pretending to be the leader of Streamclan, defeating Cliffclan in battle. It was all fun and games until she became an apprentice. Then, all the kits, including Rosefur never played together again. They chatted like warriors, and acted very mature. They became warriors a half-moon early, because the clan were short warriors and they believed they were ready. Rosefur's parents disappeared one morning on a hunting patrol, and no cat knows where they are, or if they are even alive. Rosefur doesn't mind though. She thinks the clan is her family.
Other: She is 28 moons.

~X~

Name: Hawkfeather
Gender: Male
Rank: Deputy
Kinship: Mother is dead. No littermates. Foster mother, [Whitestream] is still alive. Father, [Darktail] is an elder. [NPC]
Appearance:
Light brown fur with darkish brown tabby markings throughout his body.
Scar on the ba[injection]se of his tail, his flank and numerous scars on the ba[injection]se of his neck.

Personality:
People believe that Swallowpaw and Hawkfeather could be related, but Hawkfeather is old enough to be her father,
or even young grandfather, so it's impossible. He's a senior warrior, and has many scars to prove it. He's never had a mate, or even a crush, because he's always shy around she-cats.
Crush/Mate: Open.
History/Backstory: Born in Leafbare. It was a bad year for prey, so he often slept with an empty stomach. Some of the clan starved that year. One of those cats would be his mother. He then was taken in by Whitestream, his foster mother. Even though Hawkfeather didn't look like any of the kits, except one kit, who his name Hawkfeather couldn't remember and died before apprenticeship.
Other: He is 48 moons.


Name: Whitestream
Gender: Female
Rank: Warrior
Kinship: Her kits left the clan for kittypet life.
Her foster kit, Hawkfeather, is deputy. Her mate died in battle.
Her parents have died and moved to Starclan.
Appearance:

Personality:
Whitestream is calm and shy. She doesn't talk to many cats except the cat she can almost call kin, Hawkfeather.
She didn't age that well, and she's starting to lose vision and part of her hearing. It won't be long until she becomes an elder, but she still mourns over her kits that left the clan and her dead mate.
Crush/Mate: Open.
History/Backstory: Whitestream was a normal kit and raised like a normal cat. She caught her first mouse when she was still a kit.
She had wandered out of camp and caught a mouse that must have been deaf because the camp could hear her jumping and meowing in delight that she had spotted the morsel. She brought it back to camp proudly, though she was scolded for leaving the camp as a kit. Though, they were pleased that she was eager to catch prey. This was a sign because she ended up to become a top hunter, until she started to lose sight and hearing. After her kits left and her mate died she didn't have the motivation to hunt anymore.
Other: She is 72 moons.

~X~

Name: Smalltail
Gender: Male
Rank: Warrior
Kinship: All dead.
Appearance:

Personality:
Smalltail's warrior name comes from the fact that his tail isn't long. It's just a stub. This isn't from battle.
He came to the clan, after leaving his kittypet life. People still doubt his loyalty to the clan, since he's often caught eating lots of prey from the fresh kill pile. But each time, he reassures the clan that he is loyal and would die for Streamclan. How long will this last before Smalltail gets his first taste of battle?
Crush/Mate: Open! :D
History/Backstory: Raised in twolegplace, he was bought from his original owner and then taken to a new house near a road.
He was sick of his owner leaving him everyday and finally escaped and made his way to Streamclan.
Other: He is 25 moons.

Name: Shadefire
Gender: She-Cat
Rank: Medicine Cat
Kinship: Flamestripe and Icefox [brothers], Spiritflame [mother], and Thunderstrike [father].
Appearance: Shadefire has an extremely dark black pelt that has short fur. Though, her paws are a dark, reddish-brown. The same reddish-brown tips her ears and her tail. She has dark yellow eyes that nearly look gold.
Personality: Shadefire is always trying to help those in need, in any way she can. And she will most likely find a way. Calm when around those who are nearly in hysterics and kind towards the ones hurt. She is like the perfect Medicine Cat, but she does have her flaws 'cause not every cat is perfect. Being connected with StarClan, she does not like to see the other Clans fight.
Crush/Mate: Forbidden
History/Backstory: o3o Something will come here.
Other: She is 17 Moons old.

Name: Thunderstrike
Gender: Tom
Rank: Warrior
Kinship: Flamestripe, Shadefire, and Icefox [kits], Sparkkit [brother; died young], Father is/was a loner so his name isn't worth much, Cloudeyes [mother; Elder (NPC)].
Appearance: Thunderstrike is a dark orange tabby with black stripes that are jagged to resemble lightning bolts. His fur is sleek and short, but on the backs of his legs, the fur as some length. It is the same for his tail. He has a niche in his right ear. And his eyes are a deep, calming blue.
Personality: Thunderstrike is mostly vocal when the occasion arises, he stays quiet when he is not needed. But that quietness is not to be mistaken for shy, he would tear some poor cat's ear off for that. Fierce, protective, and slightly aggressive are his other traits.
Crush/Mate: Spiritflame
History/Backstory: o3o
Other: He is 30 Moons old.

Name: Spiritflame
Gender: She-Cat
Rank: Warrior
Kinship: Flamestripe, Icefox, and Shadefire [kits], Owlheart and Tigerdream [littermates; left the Clan], Parents are in StarClan.
Appearance: Spiritflame is a regular-sized, light gray tabby with short fur. Though, the gray almost looks white in certain lights. Her head is roughly triangular, as are her pointed ears. She has light green eyes. Speed and stealth are her friends because of her lean body and a longer-than-normal tail that has long fur along the edges that is tipped in a rather rusty-like orange.
Personality: Spiritflame is a cat that will always listen before jumping to any conclusions. She also waits and listens before jumping into things. Quick to defend her Clanmates. Spiritflame is more on the quiet side than most. She is careful and loving, but she can turn quite fierce when the occasion arises.
Crush/Mate: Thunderstrike
History/Backstory: o3o
Other: She is 29 Moons old.

Name: Flamestripe
Gender: Tom
Rank: Warrior
Kinship: Shadefire and Icefox [littermates], Spiritflame [mother], and Thunderstrike [father].
Appearance: Flamestripe takes after his father in appearance; he is a dark orange tabby with lighter orange stripes slicing through his fur. He is relatively short-furred, but his tail has some length to it. Tipping his ears is a faint black. His eyes are different colours. His right is a bright yellow, while the left is a calm blue.
Personality: Flamestripe is straight-forward and will sometimes not take "No" as an answer. Stubborn to a fault because of that. He is strangely protective of his family, even though they can take care of themselves. Flamestripe can also be very aggressive and fierce when defending his territory against a rival Clan.
Crush/Mate: Open
History/Backstory: o3o
Other: He is 17 Moons old.

Name: Icefox
Gender: Tom
Rank: Warrior
Kinship: Flamestripe and Shadefire [littermates], Spiritflame [mother], and Thunderstrike [father].
Appearance: Icefox looks like a small arctic fox, but without being a canine. He as long, fluffy fur and when it is smoothed down, it lies flat against his back His tail is longer than most and it is tipped with light red. As are his paws and the tips of his ears. He also has piercing green eyes.
Personality: Icefox is a very quiet tom. He watches from the shadows and only acts when he needs to be. Get him mad, and he attacks like a fox in a fit. Literally. Icefox is actually very easy to befriend and will always stand by his friends' side.
Crush/Mate: Open
History/Backstory: o3o
Other: He is 17 Moons old.

Name: Thrushwing
Gender: Tom
Rank: Warrior
Kinship: None, he had no littermates and his mother died in battle. His father died several moons later of sickness.
Appearance:

Personality: Thrushwing is incredibly intelligent and perceptive. Sometimes the things he figures out are beyond other cats' understanding, and he's almost always too impatient with them to explain. He could be described as hasty, always wanting to get things done. He's an agile climber, and can often be found in high places, as he usually prefers being able to see what's happening around him. He has issues as a hunter, especially with his stance. As a fighter he could be considered average. He's not the largest tom out there, so he must rely on speed, which is not a strong point for him either. He's rather shy of violence though, in part because of his mother's death and partly because of his lacking abilities. Thrushwing is very quiet and soft-spoken, although he talks quickly, and likes to do things independently. He's not too great at following order either, especially when he can see problems with them. He becomes annoyed with others rather easily, and can be short with them.
Crush/Mate: None, open
History/Backstory: Thrushwing's mother was the former deputy, so as a kit he never got much attention from her. He learned to fend for himself at an early age, as even though there were other queens there to watch him, he learned to sneak away from them quite easily for the most part. During one incident where he snuck away, he managed to dislodged some stones along a riverbank, and ended up having a foot trapped under a larger rock that was dislodged by the smaller stones. He received quite the scolding from his mother when she found him, and had to deal with a very sore paw for the next few days.
Other: He is 14 moons old. He and Rainpaw are very close.

Name: Nightfrost
Gender: Tom
Rank: Warrior
Kinship: None, dead.
Appearance:

Personality: Nighfrost spends a lot of time alone, but enjoys chatting with friends on patrols. He loves to hunt, and is grateful that his pelt helps him to blend into his surroundings. He will only follow orders if the cat giving them is forceful enough, and their words are strong. In other words he will not listen to a passive cat. If another cat seeks him out when he want to be alone, he will snap at them and usually drives them off. He's observant, and it's nearly impossible to sneak up on him, although if you do manage to scare him, he will jump very high. He is usually a little more active at night, and is a restless sleeper. He often has nightmares of his past, which he won't say much about. He's a little standoffish towards other cats, especially those of another clan, but doesn't necessarily get worked up easily. He's usually very calm, but likes to scuffle with friends every once in a while. He's very protective of others, and once he makes up his mind, he's hard to sway, unless you can give him a bunch of good reasons.
Crush/Mate: None, open
History/Backstory: Nightfrost's parents were clan cats that were trapped by a Twoleg. They were brought to a shelter, and Nightfrost was born there, but about two moons or so later, the place burned down, killing his parents and siblings. Nightfrost only survived because he had gotten loose from his cage, and was already trying to get out the door, due to curiosity of the light. He still has nightmares about the fire on occasion, and won't tell anyone about it. As a kit he followed the scents of cats that were blown to him by a lucky breeze. If it weren't for the wind, it's likely he wouldn't have survived.
Other: He is 38 moons old. He has a certain fascination with water and snow.

Name: Thistlepaw / Thistleheart
Gender: She-cat
Rank: Apprentice
Kinship: All dead. Rainpaw is like a sister to her though.
Appearance:

Personality: Thistlepaw is very competitive, and always strives to be the best at everything, although her only strength really comes in fighting. Whilst hunting she isn't stealthy enough, and often scares her prey, but while fighting, she's an entirely different cat. She becomes focused only on her enemy and is often confident enough to taunt her opponents, and trust me when I say she is not afraid to speak her mind. She has a very sharp tongue. She gets embarrassed if she doesn't do something right, and is a difficult cat to get along with, in part because of her ceaseless energy, and also because she isn't one for chatting or relaxing. She's always doing something, whether it be scuffling and wrestling with another cat, even a warrior, or exploring--something that often gets her into trouble.
Crush/Mate: Give it a few more moons. For right now, she's too young.
History/Backstory: Thistlepaw was born in Newleaf about 11 moons ago, but her mother (Petalwind) and siblings (Darkkit, Yellowkit) died of Greencough. Her father was a loner who was murdered by cats from another clan when he stole prey from their territory. She was raised by Rainpaw's mother (Sarah, she was a former kittypet), who was a loner at the time, but the clan accepted her and her newborn kit into their ranks when she asked for shelter. Later, Rainpaw's mother left to return to her solitary life, but left her kit and her adopted daughter with the clan. The two she-cat apprentices are rather close.
Other: She is 11 moons old.

Name: Rainpaw / Rainfeather
Gender: She-cat
Rank: Apprentice
Kinship: She never knew her father and doesn't know, or even care if her mother is still alive. Thistlepaw is pretty much her adopted sister.
Appearance:

Personality: Rainpaw is often very cool in her demeanor, not necessarily cold, but cool. She has great control over her emotions, but tends to bottle things up inside, such as her feelings of anger at her mother for leaving the clan again. This can lead to occasional outbursts or breakdowns on her part, most of which occur at night when no other cats are around to witness them. She doesn't much seem to care for the company of other cats except Thistlepaw and Thrushwing, although she almost never shares tongues with another cat.. Rainpaw is a strong hunter, something that annoys Thistlepaw to no end, but lacks a lot of strength when it comes to combat because of her less-than-average size. She is quite stealthy, and has been warned before about sneaking around and eavesdropping, which is a bad habit of hers. She loves kits and enjoys playing with them. Rainpaw is also known for showing surprising gentleness and abilities to comfort towards grieving or injured cats. She often seeks them out and is more than willing to listen to them talk, although she rarely talks herself. She will never offer false-hopes though, perhaps because she doesn't want to see the disappointment on the faces of those that she attempts to comfort if something doesn't turn out. She would know, having hoped for so long that her mother would return.
Crush/Mate: Um, I think she's a tad bit too young.
History/Backstory: Rainpaw's mother (Sarah) was once a kittypet, but ran away and started a life as a loner. She later joined a small band of rogues, and it is likely that Rainpaw's father belonged to this band. The group was later attacked by a fox and her three young adult kits, and most of the cats separated and fled during the fight. Rainpaw's mother sought the help of the Clan cats shortly after Rainpaw was born, which was a few days after the fox attack. Once Rainpaw and Thistlepaw became apprentices, she left the clan to return to her life as a loner.
Other: She is 10 moons old. The only cats she's particularly friendly with are Thistlepaw and Thrushwing. She has had some interest in herbs and Medicine cat ways, but she would like kits someday and doesn't want to give up hunting for gathering herbs.

None of these images belong to me and all credit goes to the original photographers.



(( Is there any chance that Thrushwing and Rainpaw might become mates later in the RP, if that's alright with you? ))
