the Clans

[sloth✖]

CURRENT CLANS
StoneClan. PineClan. RoseClan.

They may have started out as a mixture of the first Four Clans but over the years their have truly become their own. Below is some general information essential to each of the Clans. However this should be seen as guidelines and not mandatory rules to follow. So while many PineClan cats should view outsiders with hate and disdain, that isn't to say your Loner can't join or your PineClan warrior be friends with a cat in RoseClan. Same can be said for a RoseClan cat's laziness, as your RoseClan apprentice could very well be a very hard worker and hate the comfy life within the Clan. In the end, what is stated should be taken with a grain of salt and should be combined with common views of cats already created and the current High Rankers.

StoneClan.

Founder: Whitefoot > Whitestar
Previously of: ThunderClan
Black tom with a smooshed face and a single white sock on his front right paw. Eldest of the newest leaders.

Built out of the southern edge of the business and restaurant district of the old city, StoneClan had learned quickly how to adapt to life along the Green Way and Tall Silver Forests. Buildings now open to the world and growing with grass and trees provide homes to a high number of birds and rats. Traditional hunting grounds do exist in the park to the south of them. Water can be scarce. Monster Husks are commonly used here to dry food or herbs since they warm faster than stones. While kits are discouraged from climbing up them, warriors and elders commonly use them for sunning spots while apprentices try hunting mice within them. Unfortunately this is the more common cause of death in the weaker cats due to Red Bite or tetanus. Other cases are typically from sharp beams or wires in the buildings.

Clan View: StoneClan is not Traditional by any means, however living a life where so many threats lurk make them wary cats. While not for cross clan mating, they do not throw out those who suffer from love. However they will stand strong to keep the kits within the Clan and will even demand the mate join. Litters with Clanless cats are held with a touch of contempt as no one knows how well the kits will survive. However any cat may join StoneClan but only after vowing loyalty and bringing hefty gifts.

Common Traits: Mostly made up of dark, solid colored cats StoneClan prizes itself in camouflage. They favor long hair to fend off the strong wind but varies in build. While wary of outsiders they are more accepting than PineClan in letting genetics mix.

PineClan.

Founder: Thornbristle > Thornstar
Previously of: ShadowClan
Large she-cat with long fur the color of dying pine needles. Limped in her later years. Had a snaggle tooth. Gave away her anger quickly by bristling.

By far this is the most traditional of the three clans, PineClan takes residence between the Christmas Tree Lot of an outdoor Garden Store and abandoned lots of land. Exotic trees and flowers are sparse but more common than other places. They possess the most herbs but not all plants are helpful. They have since adapted with a stronger tolerance against plant based toxins. They are by far the most judgemental toward RoseClan and less tolerant of Loners.

Clan Views: PineClan is the most closed off. They feel the traditional ways are best. They do not allow for Cross Clan mating and they definitely don't allow cats to mate with those of no Clan. Rarely are cats outside the clan allowed to join. Those who are must show great honor and commitment toward the Clan.

Common Traits: Typically tabbies, brown or ginger in color. Sleek in build and loyal in nature their only major flaws is a close mindedness toward the non-traditional clans and cats. Rarely breed specific as they do not commonly allow outsiders to join but they have enough genetic variation to allow for other pelt colors, lengths and physical builds.

Landmarks: Pine Forest, the Church (border), Stone Bridge (border), Grassland, Garden Store, Stone Rise

Water source: a man made water feature that no longer works. The creek that runs around their camp.

Neighbors: StoneClan to the Northeast. RoseClan to the Southeast.

Threats: Poisonous plants, Foxes, Possums, (rare) Coyotes, (rare) Snakes, (rare) Predatory Birds

Benefits: Plant Toxin Resistance, Traditional living, Variety of Medical Herbs, Land Variety

RoseClan.

Founder: Emberpelt > Emberstar
Previously of: RiverClan
Small, slim Tortieshell she-cat with dark orange eyes. Had a kink in her tail and was the youngest of the new-leaders. Had two litters of kits, one prior and one post new territories.

Takes place in a once waterfront community. Large artificial ponds to their front and a lake at their back provide a bounty of fish. The ponds are rife with large koi and ornamental catfish while the lake has native life. Pools and ponds are also commonly found behind the nests. A large island on the western section of the island is a favorite place to take advanced apprentices. Garden herbs are most common here and the cats pride themselves on being very well fed year around. They commonly adorn their den and nests with shiny things. Mates have picked up the ritual of providing the best shiny two legged things during courtship.

Clan Views: RoseClan is laid back. They welcome other Clans and Clanless Cats alike. Though they do have a tough time with PineClan, they are more than happy to assist. Loners and Kittypets almost always welcome. Cats who threaten their way of life, however, will learn the arrogant and lazy cats of RoseClan are quite adept at holding their own if they must.

Common Traits: These cats benefit with the most variety in size, pelt length and color. Being teased as kittypets, they have become welcoming to outsiders. While not born heavy set, they do typically become this way over time. Calicos are a common sight as well.
