ROCKCLAN - RISE OF THE CLANS

OVERVIEW

RockClan is most known for their resillience in the face of adversity. Their lifestyle -- living in the depths of boulders and mountainous lands -- is a life that only the strongest can truly thrive in. To water down RockClan to simply tough is a disservice to the family that makes up this Clan. As close as they come, RockClan warriors would do whatever it takes to defend their home. Their land is carefully guarded by their Sentries, cats who are trained to watch and survey for potential threats. 

TERRITORY

RockClan's territory is by far the most perilous territory to live in- the territory consists of very mountain-like terrain, complete with large boulders and douglas fir trees. Mudslides and rock slides occur frequently, and it's very hard to traverse the territory. As a result, RockClan warriors are some of the toughest cats you're ever going to meet. RockClan warriors have paw pads that're tougher than hide and are very muscular, making any sort of climbing in this territory a breeze. The main prey found here are voles, moles, shrews, and occasionally an adder or an armadillo. The main predators found here are large birds of prey, coyotes, foxes, and large venomous snakes.

DAILY LIFE

RockClan like to keep up a profile of extremely tough cats. To help keep this image, it's a common bonding activity on patrol to sharpen one's claws on the rocks along the border, for the other clans to see. Whoever makes the largest scratch marks gets bragging rights, and gets to lead the rest of the patrol. From a young age, kits will challenge one another to see who can push the biggest rock in camp. This continues as a competitive activity into warriorhood; this can be dangerous, and has led to injuries, so it is frowned upon by senior warriors and leadership positions. Despite this gruff and tough outward appearance, RockClan is actually very easy going with one another and truly care about each other. They are extremely loyal, and will put aside personal differences to defend their Clanmate from outside trouble. Once a RockClan cat, always a RockClan cat.

SPECIALTY RANKS

With the uptick in trouble caused by rogue and forces unknown to the Clans, the leadership of RockClan decided that it was time for a specialized role in keeping a watchful eye out for the Clan. Sentries are a rank that specialize in surveillance and dexterity. They are expected to hone their climbing skills to perfection to effortlessly scale the mountainous terrain of RockClan. They are typically stationed at high vantage points such as trees and boulders both solo and with their fellow Sentries for day and night patrols. They are known to work closely with the Deputy, keeping them updated with anything concerning or notable they may have seen on their patrols. A cat can begin training underneath the Sentries after completing their Warrior’s training.

VALLEYCLAN - RISE OF THE CLANS

OVERVIEW

Living underneath the sun and sleeping underneath the stars, ValleyClan sees the world at its best and worst. Their lands are as vast and free as they come, with rolling hills and fields of flowers. ValleyClan is known for their 'get up and go' personalities, loving exercise and running through their beautiful land. Their specialty ranks of choice, the Sentinels and the Guardians, are trained to guard and keep watch from any incoming threats.

TERRITORY

The territory is characterized by large hills. The ground underpaw is half grass, half dirt and sand. The grass varies in length, from dense tall grass to large patches of short but soft grass. Sparse bushes dot the territory; anything larger in vegetation is rare. There are very few trees, save along the borders; any few trees found among the sloping hills are long dead. Out of all the territories, this territory has the most interaction with Twolegs. From a fully functional farm to remnants of past farming attempts, these cats are no strangers to the ways of these strange creatures. The main prey here are rabbits, pheasants, and very rarely, hawks. The main predators that can be found here are coyotes, badgers, and the occasional fox or large bird of prey. The cats that live here are wiry and typically brown-colored, to blend in with their territory.

DAILY LIFE

Having no tree cover, ValleyClan members are typically early birds: they get up at the crack of dawn! These cats typically use phrases that associate with the farm close by; examples of phrases include "soft as a sheep's pelt," "cow dung," and "A rooster's flight away." ValleyClan members have a slight advantage to running then other Clans, due to their wiry builds: they are built for speed. As a result, kits love to play tag and chase one another for games; this love of running continues into warriorhood. Warriors often challenge each other to races for fun, though these competitions can get heated easily for bragging rights. As the competition gets more serious, it's not uncommon to barter prey, and even morning patrol shifts.

SPECIALTY RANKS

Following the invasion of the Pack in ValleyClan’s territory, the new leader, Lilystar, and her deputy instated two new ranks in an effort to keep the fragile Clan sage from future threats. These ranks are the Guardian and the Sentinel. The Guardians act as ValleyClan’s first line of defense, and are set to patrol the perimeter closest to camp. Cats who decide to step into this position must be adept in all sorts of fighting styles. The Sentinels are regarded as the eyes and ears of ValleyClan. They patrol the outskirts of ValleyClan’s territory and report signs of oncoming danger to the Guardians. Sentinels are expected to be quick, prioritising speed over strength in order to be a carrier of information. A cat can begin training underneath the Guardians and Sentinels after completing their Warrior’s training. 

FJELL'BYR ANATOMY - RISE OF THE CLANS

Deep within the mountains, where the frigid cold wind chills every living creature to their very bones, live a feline community known as the Fjell'byr, who call themselves the Fjell...

BASIC LORE/SPECIES INFO

The Fjell are a unique feline hybrid mix of the short/longhair feral cat, and lynxes. They live within the mountainous range above the Clans of the Lake, their incredibly thick pelts allowing them to thrive in such a cold environment. Due to how long and thick their pelts can grow, Fjell cannot survive the Greenleaf of the Clans - they are in danger of heat stroke.

IMPORTANT ANATOMY NOTES

OVERALL APPEARANCE:

1. The fjell display a range of phenotypes in overall appearance, from pure shorthair feral cat (top left image), to a visual mix of a cat and lynx (top right image). They can display a mix and variety of trait combinations appearing above: for example, they could have the build of a feral cat, but the large hybrid head shape, muzzle, and ear length of the hybrid. Another example is having the large paws and long legs, but a feral cat face shape, muzzle size, and ear shape. The range of combinations / visual appearance between the left and right images is essentially limitless.

2. They are on average larger than the feral cat: at maximum height, they stand at 16 inches tall at the shoulder, and with the purchase of oversized, they can be at maximum 17 inches tall at the shoulder.

3. Their legs are much longer, more lean, and less rounded than feral cats. They possess larger claws as well.

4. Their paws are much larger, flatter, and less rounded than feral cats, to allow them ease with climbing such steep, rocky, uneven terrain.

5. A feral cat's spine slopes upwards, in contrats to the fjell, whose spine actually dips ever so slightly.

6. The feral cat's torso is much longer than the hybrid - a fjell will have a stockier, more "rectangular-shaped" torso, comparably shorter in overall length.

7. Their tails are much shorter than a feral cat's - they tend to on average be half the length as a feral cat's tail.

FUR LENGTH:

1. The fjell can range from shorter fur like the image on the left, due to having a different, thicker fur texture that is noticeable in touch, or can possess fur as long as the bottom right image. It's more common to possess long fur than short.

2. The fjell are the only cats who can slightly break the "hair" tuft length rule only - eyes may be partially hidden / covered, but please note: the eyes cannot ever be completely obscured/hidden. You could consider the bottom right image as an example of this maximum "hair" tuft length, with consideration to style flexibility.

FACE TRAITS:

1. The fjell possess larger, longer muzzles than feral cats.

2. Their ears are larger, and much more pointed than feral cats. Feral cats have more rounded ears in shape.

3. Their pupils are naturally round and large, but can constrict like a feral cat's into slits.

4. The face shape is far more angular, and overall larger, then the feral cat's. 

Hopeflicker of Streamclan in the Warrior cats RP group ROTC!

Name: Minerva the Oracle

Name Meaning:

Minerva: Long, long ago, before the Clans resided by the lake, twolegs would catch glimpses of this phantom. They began to call her Minerva, after the old twoleg that used to own the fishing shack by the lake. The twolegs claim she is the spirit of the old lady; Minerva, however knows otherwise.

The Oracle: Her title, the Oracle, comes from StarClan and ancient warriors, to indicate her ability to predict future events even StarClan cannot foresee.

Species: Lynx

Gender: Female (she/her)

Age: Unknown

Rank: Oracle for the Clans

The Oracle is a prophetic spirit that can perfectly recount events of the past, deliver news of the present, and catch glimpses of the future. These small fragments of time are always accurate, and she can foretell things even beyond the sight of StarClan. She has the power to conjure any StarClan warrior from the past to be among the living, whether the StarClan cat wanted to be summoned or not.

Clan: Not affiliated with any specific Clan.

General Description: Minerva is a large, stark white albino lynx with faint, sparse markings. She has long, bushy fur with a mane of fur wreathing her fluffy cheeks. Her legs are long and sturdy, and she has formidably large sized paws. Her eyes are a piercing, glowing red, with white pupils. Darker tufts of fur outline her eartips, elbows, and ankles. She is slightly transparent in appearance in the waking world; she only appears solid in dreams.

Fur texture: Long, bushy, thick

Body type: Large for a lynx, thick muscles

Scars: None

History:

Minerva was born in the mountains as a young lynx a long, long time ago. It's hard for her to remember her life as a living creature, given it was so long ago. She has faint memories of being both revered and feared; animals far and wide came to know her special abilities. Animals of the forest would come to her, to have her summon a deceased animal for them to commune. Every time she summoned the dead, however, she could feel her soul's grasp among the living slipping away. One day, after summoning the drowned pups of a fox for a distraught mother, Minerva found herself overwhelmed with exhaustion, and her red eyes closed, as she sunk deeper and deeper into a slumber. When she woke up, she found that she was no longer in the physical realm; her body lay before her, lifeless. Without a general direction for what to do next, she descended from the mountains, and found herself in close proximity to four Clans of cats.

Despite being dead, Minerva still found herself able to speak with these cats. Through their healers she learned that these cats had recently lost warriors. Minerva showed them the way to the meteor pool, and taught them how to bring their ancestors present to speak with them once more. Through several practices and rituals, the medicine cats of the Clans learned how to commune with StarClan.

Minerva found through death, she was able to witness the very channel of time that all cats follow. She found, for a short period of time, she could recall the past events of a living cat, or catch glimpses of future events. This made StarClan horribly uneasy: Minerva time and time again was able to accurately predict future events that StarClan had no idea was going to occur. This drove them to such paranoia, they began to tell the medicine cats and leaders of every Clan behind Minerva's back that she was not to be trusted, as was the will of her ancestors. With these seeds of doubt planted, the Clans slowly began to cut off communing with Minerva, until visits to her Hollow completely ceased. With the sudden drop off of Clan cat visits, Minerva went dormant, for many, many moons.

She emerged once more with the exile of StreamClan. The actions of the Clans caused such a disturbance and rift in StarClan, the tremors of the rift were felt by Minerva, waking her once more. She became slowly awake in the Clans once more, watching and taking interest once again in the lives and relationships of the cats by the lake.

Personality:

+ Benevolent

+ Compassionate

= Unflappable

= Wise

- Cryptic

- Intense Anger

Minerva hardly ever shows her emotions: she is hard to read, with a piercing, hard gaze that is hard to keep for long. She tries to remain unbiased with delivering time fragments, but she is known to withold information or provide guidance to help cats who are going through troubles in their life. While she hasn't been seen outwardly angry, it is well-known not to try and anger this spirit. The few fragments of anger that Minerva has let slipped have been felt with a scorching intensity, discouraging any cats from trying to trick or double cross Minerva.
