Ooc; Foxtail15, the leader spot needs to be filled. :3 The medicine cat apprentice spot is open, but it doesn't have to be filled.
We've finally got enough members! :) We'll start after Foxtail15 and Prianamagix post their bios up.
I am online..

(( It's nice to have so many cats in the clan, usually they're rather undersized, and it makes them hard to RP.
By the way, what exactly does StreamClan's camp/territory look like? )) |

Ooc; I'll get around to drawing a map, but it's basically a small forest, with streams all around it. If they travel far north, there is a waterfall, and if they travel far west, that's Cliffclan's territory.

((I have absolutley no idea how to make it bold...I tried but it didn't work? D: Also, is there a charrie limit? I'll make four as to not disrupt the tom to she-cat ratio. x3))
Name: Larkshade
Gender: She-cat
Rank: Warrior
Kinship: Mother is Wolfstar, deceased. (If Wolfstar can't be the previous leader, then Wolfheart)Father is Sagewind, also deceased. Siblings are Icepool and Amberwing.
Appearance: Larkshade is a rather small she-cat with dark green eyes. Her fur is mostly black and a bit on the long side. She has white paws, a white tailtip and a small white spot on her chest.
Personality: Larkshade is known for being a rather quiet she-cat, not often socializing with other cats if it isn't necessary. An exception to this is her siblings, who are about the only cats she opens up to. Larkshade doesn't like to be teased about her small size and likes to think that she can hunt and fight as well as any other warrior. She is known for being stealthy. Although Larkshade doesn't often talk to other cats, it's not that she dislikes to. Larkshade just isn't really used to socializing with other cats to pass time. She is not cold nor harsh when speaking with cats, just very quiet and speaking minimally. Larkshade is a cat of the moment. She doesn't like talking about the future, and especially doesn't like to talk about the past. She doesn't like talking about any issues or feelings of hers, either. This makes it harder for her to get past anything negative that happens to her. With the help of her siblings, Larkshade is becoming more open to talking to other cats and expressing her feelings.
Crush/Mate: None at the moment but open, I guess?
History/Backstory: Nothing significat...although I might add something later?
Other: She's 36 moons old and I guess you could say the runt of the litter?
Name: Amberwing
Gender: Tom
Rank: Warrior
Kinship: Same as Larkshade.
Appearance: Amberwing is a rather large tom with a completely black pelt. He looks almost identical to his sister, Icepool, but the difference here is that he has bright amber eyes.
Personality: Amberwing is a quiet, thoughtful tom. He isn't like Larkshade who doesn't really talk to other cats, though, but he isn't very talkative either. Amberwing is also very patient, never in a rush to do something. He's a serious cat; some say that he's lacking a sense of humor. Amberwing is very confident, however, and he doesn't let anything get to him. He quickly gets over the past and just concentrates on what's happening and what's going to happen. Amberwing is a tad bossy, quickly taking charge if no other cat is. He usually has good judgement and doesn't jump to conclusions, although there are exceptions.
Crush/Mate: Open
History/Backstory: Nothing significant.
Other: He's also 36 moons old. His siblings are Larkshade and Icepool. He is the first born.
Name: Icepool
Gender: She-cat
Rank: Warrior
Kinship: Same as Amberwing and Larkshade. They're siblings.
Appearance: Icepool looks almost identical to her brother, Amberwing. They are both completely black, although Icepool is a bit smaller than Amberwing. One striking difference is their eyes. While Amberwing has amber eyes, Icepool has icy blue eyes, as her name suggests.
Personality: Icepool is much more open than her siblings, often saying exactly what's on her mind before thinking it through. She can be considered fierce or even aggressive, often being the first to suggest battle as the solution and Icepool is always up for a battle. She is fiercely loyal to her clan, defending it no matter what and not afraid to risk her life for the benefit of the clan. She is rather snappish, losing her temper quickly and becoming angry at other cats easily. She is known for holding grudges and being cold or even harsh to cats she sees as possible threats. However, once one gets past Icepool's cold exterior, she can be a lot softer and kinder than one would think, although she keeps her short-tempered and snappish ways if you annoy her enough. Lastly, Icepool is quick to judge. If she doesn't get a good first impression, it'll be hard for her to ever get a good feeling for that particular cat/place/etc. She often jumps to conclusions to fast and has a strong opinion about everything that makes her hard to persuade.
Crush/Mate: Open.
History/Backstory: Nothing significant.
Other: 36 moons old like her siblings.
Okay, I'll stop there because my other character isn't really developed. :d Sorry for imbalancing the scales. Dx
EDIT: I hope it's okay that there are two cats with the prefix Ice-. >.< Also I feel like joining with an elder...hmmm...
Oh, and! My cats can be mentors if you want them to be, and if you want one of them to be leader, then sure. Although I think Amberwing would be best as leader. ^.^ ((Although I think Foxtail might make a leader character? Hmm...))

Name: Foxtail Gender: She cat Rank: Warrior Kinship: none all died at three moons old Appearance: however she has more white around the face, chest, and has a fluffy fox like tail
Personality: Foxtail is very mischievous and clever she is also very sneaky which is another reason her name is Foxtail other than her pelt that is. Fox can also seem a little rude at first glance she is always putting her opinion in which can get annoying but when you get to know her and put up with that she can be a loyal friend. She also loves to go into battle she likes the adrenalin and is always ready for a good fight. Crush/Mate: Open? History: Her brother and sister died at three moons old Other: She is a good hunter and fighter.
Name: Leopardstar Gender: She cat Rank: Leader Kinship: none Appearance: Its n F1 savannah cat their beautiful (: [oh and savannah cats are two times sometime three times bigger than most cats...] Personality: Leopard is a fierce fighter and a loyal leader she can sometimes come off stern but she means well. She is good at giving orders and tries to do the best she can for her clan. She leads with power and fighting skills, however she can also be companionship. Crush/Mate: none History: N/A Other: She is an amazing fighter and times two of the size of most cats.
Name: Specklepaw Gender: She cat Rank: Medicine cat apprentice Kinship: none Appearance: Personality: Speckle is always curious always wanting to learn more and get into things, she also enjoys helping people which is why she wants to be the future medicine cat and be able to help her clan. She is also very affectionate and social. Crush/Mate: Open? History: N/A Other: She enjoys birds

OoC: A few things, Foxtail. I don't mean to sound rude or anything, if that's how I'm coming off, but it's just that if Leopardheart is leader, shouldn't her name be Leopardstar? o-o
Also, medicine cats (including apprentices, which are too young to take in a mate most of the time anyways) aren't allowed to have mates or kits.
(Also, for anybody who doesn't know, I go by Pri or Priana. Prianamagix is a bit long. x3)

Ooc; Before we start, here's the maps. Yes, they were drawn in MS Paint. ;D
Territory Map;
http://i47.tinypic.com/ogguva.png
Streamclan Camp;
http://i47.tinypic.com/ocioh.png
If you're wondering where the apprentice's den is, it got cut off. It's on the right side, near the warriors den.
The view I tried to show was that all of the dens are in like, a semi-circle.
But since I'm a terrible artist I'm not sure if you can see that.
As for all the characters. They all seem fine, even though there is more she-cats than toms.
It's fine for now, considering every she-cat could get a mate, excluding apprentices and the medicine cat.
Just a quick tweak for cats, Foxtail, Pri was right, it is supposed to be Leopardstar.
On the master cat list, I put Leopardheart as Leopardstar.
Oh, and medicine cats/apprentices can't have mates. Unless they want to break the warrior code, etc.
If anyone wants to start, feel free to do so. :) Just need to do some tweaking on the first post.

(( I have time to start, so I might as well post.^^))
Rainpaw scrabbled against the slippery bark of the tree branches, hooking in her claws and hauling herself up. How in the name of StarClan did he manage to get up here so easily? she thought, gasping slightly with the effort of pulling her weight around with her weaker forelegs. She collapsed on the next branch she reached, breathing heavily. About a tail-length above her, Thrushwing stared around at StreamClan's forested territory, his tail hanging off the branch. The tip of it was twitching, and his ears were swiveled back to listen to her struggle. "You could help me you know," Rainpaw spat at him, rearing up to bat at his tail. He turned his shoulders to look down at her, his pale yellow eyes indifferent. "You're a cat, you can climb. There is no reason why I should need to help you. You're more than capable."
There was nothing about Rainpaw's appearance to signal that she had even heard his comment. Her ice-blue eyes were clear and emotionless, but inside she found herself rather annoyed by his comment. It was as much of a praise as it was a rebuke. Still balanced on her hind paws, she leaned forward and rested her forepaws against the branch he was sitting on. "Are you doing anything right now?"
"What does it look like? Of course not." Thrushwing paused. "It took you approximately three hundred, thirty-five heartbeats to get up here, didn't it?"
"What do I care?" Rainpaw rolled her eyes. "Anyway, now that I'm here, would you like to go hunting?"
Thrushwing's ears drooped. "Don't you have Apprentice duties?" he asked, attempting to avoid her query.
"Don't you have Warrior duties to be attending to?" she countered briskly. "No, my mentor doesn't need me right now, and the least you could be doing is hunting, or at least learning how to hunt. It's a good thing you were made a warrior because of your quick thinking, because we both know you probably wouldn't have passed an assessment, and we haven't had many issues with CliffClan lately. C'mon, let's go," Rainpaw meowed coolly, glancing back down and groaning inwardly at the prospect of maneuvering her way back down the tree.
Thrushwing was slow and reluctant to follow, but he still managed to overtake her on her way down. "If you were half as good at hunting as you are climbing, the clan would never go hungry again," Rainpaw muttered as she stalked past the young warrior. He had only been made a warrior a couple of moons ago, but she already missed not having scheduled training sessions with him.
Suddenly Rainpaw, stopped, and flicked her tail across Thrushwing's path. He fell silent and dropped to the ground, tucking his forelegs under him while he prepared to watch. He too had spotted the young squirrel, and was now expecting his friend to give him an example of what she expected him to do the next time they came across prey. But she didn't crouch down, instead she turned back to him, jerking her nose at the foraging rodent. Thrushwing's surprise was clearly visible on his face, but she paid no attention to it. "Go on," she hissed quietly.
He slid past her, crouching down and staring at the squirrel doubtfully. Rainpaw ducked down in the leaves beside him. watching intently. "Keep your tail down," she noted to him softly, and he did as was told.
Slowly, Thrushwing crept forward, the ends of his long pelt brushing the leaf litter on the ground. Just as he was preparing to pounce, a bird sounded an alarm call, startling to squirrel and sending it scurrying up the tree fast than the young tom could reach it. He stood up dejectedly, staring at the spot the squirrel had been feeding. He felt Rainpaw's whiskers brush against his shoulder, and her tail flicked against his flank. "There must be a patrol nearby or something, that wasn't your fault."
"If that's the case, then we should head back in case we're needed for the next one," Thrushwing said, and Rainpaw just stood their gazing at him for a second before shrugging. "I suppose." Secretly she thought that he was just too crushed to try again. It had been over two days since he had last managed to catch something. It was a good thing that the prey was running thick right now.
The two walked back in silence, neither speaking. When they finally trotted back into camp, Rainpaw was greeted by Thistlepaw, and Thrushwing slunk off towards his den. Thistlepaw watched him curiously. "No luck?"
"None. And I should hope that he improves before Leaf-bare, because I'm sure the clan is going to need him."
---
Thistlepaw looked around at the camp, noting which cats were up. The sun was filling up the camp, and for once Thistlepaw was willing to sit and warm her pelt. That was, until an unlucky Nightfost padded past her towards the fresh-kill pile. She didn't even hesitate, she just flung herself at him, cuffing him gently. He rolled away from her, hissing in annoyance. "Do you even sleep?" he asked, sitting and giving his chest a couple of quick licks.
"Of course, mouse-brain. Otherwise I wouldn't have any energy to fling myself at you like that," she snapped almost playfully, flicking an ear.
"Well do me a favor and don't sleep for once. That way maybe the rest of us can just relax for a little while," muttered Nightfrost, giving himself a brief wash.
"What, you're going to eat and just lounge around? You're supposed to feed the clan first you know," Thistlepaw said suspiciously.
Nightfrost opened one eye and looked at her. "Of course I know that mouse-brain, I was out hunting last night."
"Oh. Where are you off to now?"
Nightfrost shrugged. "I'm just going for a walk. You're mentor will probably be looking for you by now, if you're in need of something to do." The long-haired tom narrowed his eyes. "Because you're not coming with me."
"Why would I want to? I'd like--"
"Thistlepaw!" It was Rainpaw, her head peeking out of the entrance to their den. "Do you know if we have any training scheduled for today? I haven't seen our mentors anywhere."
While Thistepaw's attention was absorbed by her sister, Nightfrost took the opportunity to sneak out of camp, glad to be rid of the energetic apprentice for the time being.
"No, I haven't seen them either, and I couldn't care less what they have planned. I'd like to go on a patrol, but I haven't had time to locate Hawkfeather. Care to join me?"
Rainpaw shrugged. "Sure, I've got nothing better to do." With that, the two she-cats set off to find and pester their deputy.
(( Lol, poor Hawkfeather. By the way, what are the mentor/apprentice pairings? ))

Ooc; As for mentor/apprentice pairings, I could do it, but it's usually the leaders' job.
I'll rmail foxtail15. But here's my post. Rescreatu, don't delete this now.
Swallowpaw padded through the forest, looking around for some prey. She had already caught a small vole. She saw a large pheasant, pecking at the ground. She crouched, and slowly got nearer. It was going to have to be really weak, because she wasn't convinced she could catch it. She leapt at once, biting into it's back. It flapped wildly, but she kept her grip. It continued flapping, until she began to shake it like dogs sometimes do. It went limp in her jaws, and she dropped it. She grinned, licking the blood off her mouth. She heard pawsteps, and the rustle of the bushes. She tensed, and nearly jumped when Rosefur emerged with two mice in her mouth. "Did you catch that?" she meowed. Swallowpaw nodded, picking it up and padding over to Rosefur. "It's a lovely catch. It should feed some cats." she meowed. Sparrowpaw meowed through the pheasant, "I still have a vole I need to retrieve." Rosepaw flicked her tail. "I'll get it. You head back to camp. I'll meet you there." Sparrowpaw nodded before she began heading back to camp.
~
Rosefur sniffed the air. She saw a lump of dirt messily scuffed up by a yew bush. She unburied it and found Swallowpaw's vole. She picked it up, dropping one of the mice. She let out a hiss in annoyance before picking it up again. Full mouthed, she ran back to camp.
When she had arrived, Swallowpaw was sunning by the apprentice's den, her fur ruffled and her eyes closed. Did I really take that long? Rosefur thought to herself. She dropped the prey on the fresh kill pile, the pheasant on the top. The fresh kill pile was quite full. They would have full bellies tonight. She padded to Swallowpaw. She nosed her, and Spallowpaw opened her eyes sleepily. "Did I really take that long?" she meowed. Swallowpaw shook her head. "I'm just sleepy." Rosefur cuffed Swallowpaw on the ear playfully. "Do you have to do any apprentice duties? I could take you out exploring." Swallowpaw sat up, licking at her chest. "No thanks. I think I'm going to take a nap in the apprentice's den." Rosefur flicked her tail. "Okay." Swarlowpaw got up and entered the apprentice's den..
~
Hawkfeather padded back to camp. He had gone patrolling alone this morning. He wasn't ready to head back to camp yet. He found a tall willow tree with long leaves, drooping down to the ground. Padding through the leaves, he climbed to near the top. He stretched out on the branch, wide enough to support his body. He took in a deep breath. The smells of Newleaf. He drifted off into his thoughts, about his mother and father, and Whitestream. Soon enough he drifted off into sleep.
His dream started out fine, chasing a fat juicy rabbit in a meadow, and then he reached the waterfall. The rabbit plunged over, while he stopped dead in his tracks. Below him, the water was blood red, with bodies of cats from his clan where littered everywhere below. He awoke with a start, leaping to his feet. He fell from the tree, landing clumsily on the ground, hitting the ground with a loud thud. He cursed to himself angrily before shaking the burrs and leaves from his fur.
~
Whitestream stood, staring at the thorn barrier, waiting. Most cats gave her looks, some asked her what she was doing, but she ignored them until they eventually left. Legs growing stiff, she let out a long sigh before padding into the medicine cat's den for something to deal with her stiff legs. She knew it was because she hardly did anything these days, still grieving over her dead kin. Why couldn't I just die? Does Starclan want me to suffer? She thought bitterly to herself.
~
Smalltail munched on a rabbit by the warriors den, eating it until it was no more than just a pile of bones. he buried the bones with a few scuffs of his paw. Hunger still demanded more food. No. He thought to himself. I just have to get used to it. He went off to hunt, knowing that someone would see him take yet another piece of prey. Sniffing the air, he smelled nothing. About to give up, he saw a tiny mouse near a bush. Leaping towards it, the mouse scurried off way before Smalltail could even go after it. "Mousedung!" he spat.
Ooc; Poor Hawkfeather lol. Falls out of a tree and he still has to chat with apprentices.
Luckily he's got a bit of tolerance. x3

(Clouding: I believe that her name was Swallowpaw? x3 Maybe you got confused because of my example? So many amazing replies [well, two xD]. I don't think I can do as well, but I'll try...>.<)
(wait, what time is it? Should my cats be on dawn patrols right now? /confused :c I'm just going to say it's shortly after dawn patrols, then...If there's anything in my reply that's wrong, please correct me. Bear with me because I've only read 3 warriors books and that was a bit before...)
(Wow I have a lot of questions. :| What does Streamclan mainly hunt? So far, we've got rabbits, mice, voles and pheasants but what about fish or waterfowl? Just wondering, since their name is Streanclan...)
Larkshade watched as pieces of fresh-kill were taken for the elders, staring intently as if it was the most interesting thing in the world. The fresh-kill pile was very large; the prey this green-leaf was very plentiful so far. On the top of the pile was a nice, plump pheasant; it was a wonder that no cat took it yet. Larkshade had seen the young apprentice Swallowpaw catch it, a little earlier in the day.
"What are you looking at?" Icepool asked as she padded towards her sister, tilting her head. She caught Larkshade's eyes and batted at her ears playfully. Larkshade flicked her ears in annoyance, but put up with Icepool.
Soon, the two were joined by their brother, Amberwing. He didn't bother to say anything to his siblings, just nodded as a greeting before taking a vole from the fresh-kill pile. Amberwing didn't like to take too much, even in green-leaf. He was a perfectly healthy tom at the moment, anyways. Larkshade quietly followed his lead , picking up a small squirrel from the fresh-kill and carefully ripping off pieces for consumption. Icepool picked up a couple of mice and gulped them down quickly. When she had finished, she sat down and waited for her siblings to finish, tail swishing with impatience.
"Do you two want to come train with me?" Icepool asked, leaping up onto her feet as soon as they were done eating.
"What's the point? We can hunt perfectly fine and it's not like we're going to have a battle with Cliffclan anytime soon," Larkshade finally spoke, but didn't glance up. She was busying herself with burying the leftover squirrel fur and bones into the ground. Larkshade shoved a pile of dirt onto the hole and sat on it, as if to declare that she had finished. She glanced up and looked at Icepool; her ice blue eyes showed her annoyance.
"Just because we can hunt well and there's no tension between Streamclan and Cliffclan at the moment doesn't mean that it'll be the same come leaf-bare. And who knows when some extra battle skills could be useful?" Icepool argued, standing her ground stubbornly.
"I suppose Icepool is correct," Amberwing glanced up from his own burial process. "There's no harm in training if there's nothing better to do." Larkshade sighed and gave in. The three of them started to make their way towards a training ground to train.
(Not that great, but oh well. Also, do they have defined training grounds? /does not remember exactly)

The long fur on the tip of the she-cat's tail flicked suddenly as the appendage twitched to one side. Golden-yellow eyes shifted from one type of herb to the next as the black cat slowly took stock of what she had and of what else she needed. Occasionally, she stretched out a paw to test the condition of a particular item. This time, when she tested a pile of Dock leaves, she found that they crunched underneath her paws.
Her ears flattened out to the sides as she shoved it off to one side, mentally telling herself to get some more. Or tell Specklepaw to go fetch some more with a Warrior or two for help if the apprentice needed it.
Her ears pricked up then as one swiveled back towards the entrance of her den. Maybe it was Specklepaw? Rising so she stood, the she-cat moved towards the front of the den.
"Specklepaw, is tha-"
No it was not, Shadefire thought to herself as she came nose-to-nose with Whitestream with the medicine cat pausing in mid-stride. Blinking her eyes a few times, she backed up and sat down, curling her fluffy tail over her paws.
"Can I help you with something, Whitestream?" she asked, dipping her head in slight respect since the white she-cat before her was older than most in the Clan.
[[ I have a question... Where do the Medicine Cat(s) go to during the quarter-moon when they need to talk to StarClan? :I
Also, I'll post something in a bit for the rest of my cats... I can't think of anything for them at the current moment.... ^^; ]]

Dragonstar: I think they go quarter moon to chat with Starclan. *Flips through books*.
Can't find anything. D;
Pri: Farther in the books I believe Erin Hunter gets more deive on patrols.
I think the amount of patrols is based on the risk of attack.
Anyway, drew another map. x3
