The leader was ran out, ran out of his birthclan simply for loving a medicine cat more than he "should have".
But in his shame, Starclan found him.
They led the cat along many lands, ranks of other felines joining alongside tom wherever he went.
His words brought them hope, which paid off once the group arrived to their home.
Starclan had blessed them with plentiful food, sturdy shelter, and a clear sky for worship.
This clan has broken some of the old traditions, yes, but Starclan loves them more than any other.
Nᴏᴡ ﹣ it is your turn to offer up your services to the clan. Welcome to the canyon.

Character Name: Echostar
Gender: Male
Age in Moons: 28
Rank: Leader
Relations: None
Image or description of appearance: American Bob
Brief Personality: A stunning example of just how powerful persuasion can be. This cat was nothing but a average warrior in his old clan but, by pursuading the medicine cat with his frenzied obsession with starclan, he seduced her. He will do anything for Starclan if, he truly believes, they wish for it to happen. He believes strongly in fate but has learned that in the desert, you must often take matters in your own hands. This leader seems friendly and open at first but, truly, he has no love in his heart for any of his followers. All his love is for Starclan. He awaits the day he can join them, thus battle does not scare him. Another life loss is another step closer to the stars. He teaches his warriors to be effective and tough, resilient and self-efficient. There is much of a rogue mentality in him. However, the way to win him over is through humor or a devotion to his religion.

Character Name: Larkbabble
Gender: Female
Age in Moons: 19
Rank: Warrior
Relations: None
Image or description of appearance: Cornish Rex
Brief Personality: She's a feeble thing and will believe most anything told to her by the high-ups. Of course, as a loner, she never knew of Starclan. However, the charismatic leader snagged her in. Not the brightest but not quite dumb, she's in that perfect middle ground to be dubbed average. Larkbabble is the fastest runner in the clan and a rather excellent climber. Sadly, her biggest fault is a lack of forethought and pride. She will never go back on her word or opinion, even if it was incorrect. Rarely does the she-cat look beyond what is in front of her nose, blinding her from the big picture.
OPTIONAL: History: Was a loner named Skylark. Picked up along the way.
Anything Else?

Character Name: Troutbone
Gender: Male
Age in Moons: 30
Rank: Warrior
Relations: None
Image or description of appearance: Scottish Fold
Brief Personality: Blunt and rough is what this cat is. Food is his main priority and drive in life. He isn't always the nicest either. The tom doesn't go out of his way to hurt or ruin people, however he has no scruples against it either. Usually, he just sort of lazes around and throws snarky not-too-clever one-liners around. Though, he is very loyal once you gain him as an ally. He uses his large size and brute strength (alongside the many scars and their possibly made-up stories) to intimidate others. He's also a major sleeze and will hit on most any she-cat ('cept Larkbabble, there's too much history there).
OPTIONAL: History: Named derived from an injury in which he was thought to have died. The bone was showing and was covered in blood as red as the back of a trout. Echosong (now Echostar) took it as a sign. Once a loner named Chester. Owes Echostar his life.
Anything Else?

Larkbabble quickly cleaned off the last bits of dust lingering on her tail. Dust baths were a must in this landscape, though she rather despised cleaning it off. Stretching a bit while standing, she could feel her joint crack and pop into place. After walking out from the shady spot she had snuggled into, the she-cat found her apprentice.
"When you're finished, meet me out front. We're going to patrol the North territory with Troutbone," she mewed in a direct but not unkind tone.
Lark knew that her young apprentice had a tendency to be jumpy, thus she was concerned that even the sound of her voice would come to be a surprise for him.

Echostar slowly emerged from the cool underground. The harsh sun cause a passive hiss to emit from his voice. Perhaps he should not have taken on an apprentice, sleeping in was always a leisure he enjoyed. However, with several coordinated bounds, the feline landed near the center of camp. The leader seemed to constantly walk at a quick pace, as if he were rushed. Echo found himself in front of the apprentice den, sniffing out his apprentice.
"Dovepaw, are you awake? We have some training to do," he cooed.

Echostar nodded and turned his back to the apprentice.
"We'll be doing combat training today. You need to improve on your wrestling. As it is, Skyclan forbid, if another cat pinned you down you would be in serious trouble," he explained, now walking into the dusty training area near the base of camp.

Echostar walked into the training rink and signaled for Dovepaw to do the same.
"Now, I want you to let me pin you down. Then I'll instruct you from there," he said, crouching down ready to strike.

Echostar pressed himself down as the girl lunged and popped back up when she was soaring on top of her. So, he flipped her onto her back and quickly pinned the much smaller cat below him.
"Now, move your left paw further down quickly to get me off balance. While you're doing this, flail up your back legs to try and rack up your enemies' belly," he commanded.

Echostar slowly lurched forwards off of the apprentice and was kicked squarely in the meat of his thigh by one of her flails.
Without missing a beat, he stood up.
"Good, now again. This time, no instruction. And, I will be attacking you and continuing with the attack after pinning. Bonus points if you manage to stay on the ground and not be pinned for a bit," he explained before instantly lunging at the she-cat, his sheathed paws stretched out in front of him as to knock her over.
