You may be asking yourself, so what the heck is all this about? Here's the plot of the whole RPG:
Two Loners
A low, threatening rumble of thunder shook the moorlands with a frightenting jerk. Fork lightning flashed overhead , lighting up the night sky as rain pounded against the earth. A small hole in the ground could be seen as yet another flash of lightning lit up the area. Inside, a white and orange she-cat lay, her eyes closed in agony. Beside her sat an orange tom, his brow creased with worry. Contractions rippled through the queen's frail body and wih the last one, she fell limp. Her side rose and fell weakly as she turned to her mate. "Burntsoul," she whispered. "Give them a great life... a better one than... this," her last word seemed only like a breeze rustling tree leaves as she laid her head down on the soft moss nest. As her kits nursed for the forst, and last time, Smallpoppy left to hunt with StarClan.
Even through the rumbling thunder, a mournful yowl could be heard coming from the small den. The eerie wail was carried over the flat lands as the father of the kits let his grief overtake him. His face was buried in the she-cat's still warm pelt. He breathed ragged, short breaths as he tried unsuccessfully to fight the tears that pricked the back of his eyes. The fiery orange tom breatehd in his mate's soothing scent for the last time as he raised his blood-shot eyes to look at his kin. All the kits looked full-fed and content, and that made Burntsoul all the more upset, for they knew not the precious thing they had just lost. The father new immediatly what he should do with the kits, for their own good and after the wish of Smallpoppy. For the time being, however, he moved closer to his kits and curled around them. As the storm raged outside, father and children shared a night together, curled up to eachother for heat and comfort.
Dawn light filtered through the den's entrance. Burntsoul's ears flicked back and forth as he was aroused bu the mewling of kits. "Smallpoppy, could you..." he stopped short as he remembered the tragedy of the night before. Smallpoppy was dead and he was the only living parent of these kits. He was hesitant to start his day, thinking maybe this had only been a bad dream. No, she's just out hunting, he seemed to tell hismelf, though dep down he knew. Before bringing these cats to their destiny's, they had to be named. There were 2 toms and 2 she-kits,. His voice was shaky as he dubbed the first one, a pale tabby tom, Lightningkit. His name would comemorate the night that he and his siblings were born, though none of them would know it. The next was a beautiful tortoiseshell she-kit, whom he named Harvestkit. After the first two, names flooded his mind and he easily chose names for the remaining kits. The other she-kit was called Miragekit and the tom, Shardkit.
With the kits named and their time running out, their father brought them each to seperate clans. Though no one except for their father knew that they had kin in other clans. And so it went: Lightningkit went to ShadowClan; Harvestkit to WindClan; Miragekit to ThunderClan and Shardkit to RiverClan...
Plot
It has been 6 moons since that fateful night when Smallpoppy left the forest to join our warrior ancestors. Now among the four clans potential battles are brewing and tensions are high. As prey becomes scarce during leaf-fall some clans are being forced to trespass and quarrel, even among themselves. Unexpected allianes are forming: ShadowClan & ThunderClan and WindClan & RiverClan.
Accusations are flying between ThunderClan and WindClan and ShadowClan and RiverClan are hostile as ever. With the threat of battle and the frequent territory raids, clans are bracing themselves for potentially one of the worst battles the forest has ever seen. Cats are going as far as scrapping at Gatherings and StarClan is not impressed.
Now, among this confusion, four cats have been chosen specifically by StarClan. They are being sent dreams, inexplicable, complicated images of battle, death and darkness. But they aren't the only ones. Prophetic dreams have been shared with the Medicine Cats as well and they can't seem to understand themost recent prophecy given by StarClan:
"Strangers will bring 4 together to outwit death."
*Clears throat* There are four clans ((actually five counting starclan but you have to die to go there)); Thunderclan, Riverclan, Shadowclan, and Windclan. In each clan there are:
1 Leader
1 Deputy
6-14 Warriors
6-14 apprentices
Elders
Queens ((cats that are nursing kits or are pregnant with them))
Kits
There are also loners and kittypets. Kittypets are housecats and Loners are dangerous felines. You dont want to mess with them. They belong to no clan or they did and were banished. Here's a form you must fill out if you wish to join:
Name ((If you're leader put 'star' at the end, Warrior 'claw, storm, pelt, heart, stripe, 'rain', 'stream' or fang'. If apprentice put 'paw' at the end, Elders keep warrior names, Medicine cats too. Kits but 'kit' at end. Ex. Bluestar, Fireheart, cloudpaw, frostkit))
Age: ((in moons, must be at least 6 moons to be an apprentice, moon = month))
Clan/other ((thunder, shadow, river, wind, kittypet, loner))
Rank: ((leader, deputy, warrior, kit, apprentice, medicine cat, elder, kit, queen))
Appearence: ((you can use a pic))
Personality:
Each full moon four clans will go to a gathering and there will be a truce. If the truce is broken on this night, Starclan will become angry and block out the glow of the moon. With me so far? Ready to join? GOOD!!! Welcome to Warriors the RPG!!!!!!!
