With it came lightning, fire, and death. It took SkyClan several moons to recover, and although everything is fine now, some faithful warriors were lost, not even their bodies remaining. These warriors left behind their families and their friends, who mourned the loss. But some of these family members were just too young to remember.<br><br>Poppystar, at the time a young kit, lost her parents and siblings to the storm. Her mother and several littermates were discovered days later, and were given proper burials. However, her father and one of her littermates were never found, and have been assumed dead for all these moons.<br><br>Now the leaderof SkyClan, Poppystar doesn't remember her original family. She remembers the mother that raised her, Frostmoon, and she remembers the mismatched herd of kits she was raised with. She's quite happy with this family, as it's all she remembers knowing. She doesn't feel like she really needs anything else.<br><br>
    And then her father shows up, bringing with him one of her littermates. Honestly, she doesn't know what to think.<br><br><strong><span style="color:#FFFFFF;">—FOR ADOPTION<br></span></strong><em>Poppystar's Father [Taken, Dunnocktail]<br></em>During the storm, Poppystar's father was washed away, along with one of his kits. Ending up far away from his home, he stayed, deciding to raise the kit as best as he could on his own. He lived as a loner, but now that he's getting older and his kit has grown up, the two have returned to SkyClan. Unfortunately, Poppystar is angry with him for not trying to return sooner, and it seems that she won't listen to his side of the story.<br>―1 slot<br>―NPC x NPC<br>―Name is up to you.<br>―Appearance is up to you, but Poppystar is brown and white with amber eyes, so try to have something realistic.<br>―SkyClan warrior (3+ years)<br>―Has to stay in SkyClan.<br>―Possible plots (optional): Did not realize his mate, Sparrowdawn, was dead, and now has to deal with the grief. Is upset that Poppystar wants nothing to do with him.<br><br><em>Poppystar's Littermate [Taken, Wolfmumble]<br></em>Poppystar's littermate was taken by her father during the storm, and was raised by him as a loner. Now that they've returned to SkyClan, Poppystar adores them and focuses most of her attention on making sure that they're doing well and settling in fine. However, they disagree with Poppystar's dislike of their father, and this may cause tension between the two.<br>―1 slot<br>―Dunnocktail x Sparrowdawn [NPC]<br>―Name is up to you.<br>―Appearance is up to you, but Poppystar is brown and white with amber eyes, so try to have something realistic.<br>―SkyClan warrior (17 moons)<br>―Has to stay in SkyClan.<br>―Possible plots (optional): Did not want to come to SkyClan and resents being here. Either loves Poppystar or hates her, or perhaps somewhere in between.<br><br><em>Poppystar's Adoptive Siblings [2/4, Nightmask, Blazestorm]<br></em>After the storm, many kits of all ages were left without homes, so Frostmoon, the only remaining queen, stepped up to take care of all the kits. She raised many abandoned kits, as well as her own, and loved all of them equally. Although Frostmoon has since been killed, presumably by BloodClan, her memory lives on, and so do all the kits that she loved so much.<br>―4 slots<br>―NPC x NPC (Adopted by Frostmoon)<br>―Appearance is completely optional.<br>―SkyClan warriors or apprentices (12-20 moons)<br>―Have to stay in SkyClan.<br>―Possible plots (optional): Annoyed with Poppystar for focusing on her biological sibling rather than hanging out with them.

If you are gone without notice for more than a week, I will check up on you (I know sometimes things happen and you can't be on, so I will be understanding). If you feel unable to play your character anymore, just let me know either through PM or in this thread, and I will rehome your character. There's no need to feel guilty for dropping a character.<br>―No cruel names are allowed for any of these litters. All of these cats were named and/or raised by loving parents, so any name that doesn't express this would be highly unlikely.<br>―Not sure on a gender for your character? Go with male! There's a huge gender imbalance in SkyClan right now, so it would be nice to have a few guys around!<br>―These have been FCFS, but this may change depending on how many people apply.<br>―Use any form you'd like; it won't affect the choosing!

    • NAME | Wolfmumble

    LITTER | Poppyblossom's father x Sparrowdawn
    GENDER | Male
    APPEARANCE | Just giving him one look gives off the serious, tough guy vibes. He's quite the tall one compared to most, which causes him to stand out awkwardly. His short, scruffy fur is an ash brown-like color, dusky like a mouse. Splashes of white cover his belly and chest. He shares his sister's soft amber eyes. They, however, are shaped like naive circles of energy, betraying his composed appearance.
    PERSONALITY | Although his appearance establishes a strong cat, those who really get to know him know otherwise. He's more like a gentle giant. He is a soft spoken guy, and enjoys his father's company. Due to being raised in the life of a loner, his socializing skills aren't on par. Instead, he'd be found lingering around Poppyblossom, finding comfort in her presence in bigger crowds. Although he may seem gentle, he can be brutally honest and has unwavering loyalty. His patience can be a ticking time bomb, but his anger doesn't explode. Rather, it sizzles.
    PLOTS | I was thinking that perhaps all Wolfmumble's life, maybe he could feel that he was missing something in his life, that being his sister! He wouldn't know at first, but when his father and him come back to Skyclan, he could absolutely hate living there because he feels like he should be searching for that missing part of him. But like he gives off the impression to Poppy that he is happy to be home or something! I mean that's all I got so far, but maybe they bond enough that he then tells her about it and desperately asks her to leave the clan with him to help him find it? There might be some serious arguement between the two and things get bitter? I don't know, these are just some ideas! :) Nothing is set in stone atm!


    OTHER | Also I might be a by rusty at roleplaying, so if I do get picked I apologize for that!

  • he sounds great! those are all really interesting plot ideas, and i feel like they all give him lots of room for development.


  • small bump because she got promoted!


  • ((I'm going to apply to play as the father, but if you decline then I'll ask for an adopted sibling role.))


    Name: Dunnocktail
    Gender: Male
    Clan: SkyClan (Previously a Loner)
    Age: 54 moons old (4.5 Years)
    Parents: Teaselfoot (Deceased) and Gingerpelt (Deceased)
    Allegiance description: DUNNOCKTAIL— dusky brown tom


    Detailed description: Dunnocktail is a slender, tall tom. Among crowds and the clan, he lowers his head and hunches, feeling that he would stand out otherwise. Hidden under his lowly posture are strong muscles, and he is well equipped with sharp claws to scale up trees quickly. He was remarked for his agility and sense of balance.


    During the storm, he broke his left front leg. While watching over his kits, he pushed himself through grueling training to strengthen it. He no longer has a limp, but he will most likely never recover to the level of his previous grace.


    Dunnocktail's pelt color is a light brown, almost gray with a faded white underbelly. His fur is long, but he hasn't been able to groom it properly recently, it sticks awkwardly in tufts. His eyes are a pale green color, often wide with expression. He has a long fluffy tail. Although he is not quite yet a senior warrior, his There is a noticeable comparison to how Dunnocktail looked when he was a young warrior, to now after he has returned to SkyClan.


    Personality: Dunnocktail is a quiet cat, often keeps to himself. He is open towards those he considers family- but that is only a few members of the clan. Being away from his clan has alienated him from others, those who do remember him are distant or gone. When he does speak, he has a kind, gentle voice. Being a good listener, he offers advice when he can.


    Dunnocktail is a responsible cat, this is both his strength and weakness. He feels guilty and hopeless in his situation, but believing that he has to be there for his family- his clan keeps him motivated. In the face of adversity, he believes that being persistent, even to the point of exhaustion, will have it's reward. Although he holds his values highly, he is not an assertive cat over others. This may have him called meek, but do not mistake that he is weak. Dunnocktail is proud of his kits, and proud of Poppyblossom, though she pushes him away.


    Dunnocktail feels that he has changed, and lost so much. He is trying to deal grief in an honorable way, but still falters like any imperfect being would. He spends time alone to think, yet to decide what he should do, always considering what he thinks is the best for his kits.


    ((Thank you for your consideration, and thank you for reading!))

  • he sounds really sweet!
    i'm going to accept both of you, and you guys can bring them over to skyclan whenever you want c:


  • [center][fancypost=background-color:; border: 0px; font-family: arial; font-size: 14px; color: lightblue]「 may these words — be the first to find your ears 」

    is this still open? if so, i would be interested in playing an adoptive sibling

  • yeah, it's still open!


  • I could take one of the adoptive sibling's slots. I have a tomcat that I've been trying to find a home for in the traditional clans. I'm still trying to think of what his suffix should be: either Duskrunner or Duskscar. But he could be Poppystar's adoptive sibling if you'd like?
    I'll make a form in a bit

  • i like the sound of duskrunner, but it depends on his personality! can't wait to read his form c:




  • Name: Nightmask
    Gender: Male
    Clan: SkyClan
    Age: 15 moons
    Parents: Runningspots (father) & Lightpetal (mother)
    Personality:
    Unlike his appearance, Nightmask is a very gentle giant when it comes to his Clanmates. He's calm and collective, but quiet and mysterious. He tends to keep to himself most of the time. He does enjoy the presence of she-cats, not because he's a romantic or anything, but he just finds that he gets along better with them and the younger generation.
    On the contrary, Nightmask isn't much of a romantic; like any tomcat, he dreams for finding that someone special to spend his life with and have a family with, but he's not very good at flirting or being romantic; he treats everyone the same, so it's nearly impossible for him to treat a cat of interest differently (this'll change over time when he finds a she-cat of interest).
    In all honesty, although he may be young, Nightmask acts a lot older than his age. He has a fatherly nature to him. He's big and muscular, so he's able to protect the ones he cares about and he's caring and loving. He would watch the kits if a queen asked him to do that, he'd clean the dens and get new moss if asked; he'd do pretty much anything for anyone in his clan.
    Nightmask is very loyal to SkyClan and wouldn't dream of anywhere different. He'd die for his clan.
    Although Nightmask's past is a little dark what with his parents disappearing and being assumed dead, then being adopted by Frostmoon and raised with Poppystar, he hasn't been crushed under pressure or broken down. He has some jealousy and anger towards Poppystar that he doesn't let anyone see or know about; all that's due to the fact that Poppystar has been hanging around her biological kin rather than the cats that she grew up with.




    OOC: Am I allowed to make two cats for the adoptive siblings? Because I'd like to make a sister for Nightmask, who would completely despise Poppystar.
    Also, could Nightmask be really attached to Poppystar, like when they were growing up together, they were best friends or something like that. Because I think if that was the case, it'd be a lot easier for Nightmask to be annoyed with Poppystar and even be upset with her? Maybe he thinks of her as a true sister (even though they aren't) and is really jealous

    Name - Pipitpaw [later, Pipitfeather]
    Gender - Male
    Age - 10 moons


    Appearance - Black and white tuxedo with a white mustache and light gold eyes
    Personality - A total thrill-seeker, Pipit is constantly looking for things to exhilarate him. He seemingly has little regard for his own life and unintentionally puts other Clanmates in danger with his antics. Afterwards, he's always apologetic and assures it won't happen again, but quickly goes back on his promises when it does, in fact, happen again.


    Despite this, the tom is well-known for doting on his family. With all of his adopted and biological siblings, he's a completely different cat. Gentle, caring, and downright adorable, he's constantly bringing them prey and pretty trinkets just to make them smile. Pipit plays with them when they're still kits, entertains his elder family members, and will cheer them up when they're sick or feeling down. This only makes it tougher that his adopted sister ignores him, as he wanted so badly to have a chance to be close to her and she didn't even give him the time of day. To his family, he won't make it obvious, but he's sure they know his internal grudge against Poppyblossom.


    More will develop.


    Plots - Being very familial, he will definitely hold a grudge against Poppyblossom for ignoring her adoptive siblings in favor of her biological siblings. This will cause him to try and seek attention from her by doing careless things, such as leaping from the tallest trees, or picking fights with badgers. Eventually when he hits warrior age this will mellow out a bit, however, I'm thinking he will still be a daredevil. [Optional: Poppyblossom could delay his warrior ceremony because he clearly has a lot to learn, making him even more angry]

  • both of them seem like really cool characters! both would definitely fit into the story very well, so both are accepted.


    scarlet - of course you're allowed to make two characters if you want to! it's also definitely fine for them to have been really close when they were younger, especially if it helps develop him c:


    amy - those plots all sound great! she'd be so worried about him constantly because of it but not know how to stop him, which would lead to her delaying his ceremony.


    i can't wait to see both of you around!


  • [center][fancypost=background-color:; border: 0px; font-family: arial; font-size: 14px; color: lightblue]「 may these words — be the first to find your ears 」

    ee yes! pipit is going to be the problem child, so i'm 100% cool with having his ceremony delayed because poppy doesn't know any other way to protect him
    i'll go make his subby & start roleplaying him either later tonight or tomorrow! c:
