    HISTORY -

    HISTORY



    TRADITIONS & BELIEFS -

    - Walking the Plank: When a member of PirateClan commits a serious crime that is against the rules or betrays the clan they'll be forced to walk the plank as punishment. Any prisoners may suffer the same fate.

    - Cadet Ceremonies: When the young of the clan are old enough to become cadets they'll go through a ceremonial process in which they'll receive a special skull pendant in which will be colored according to a certain attribute which the cadet possesses. Their chosen mentor will receive a matching pendant. They both will also get a chain for these pendents so that it can be worn around their necks. Carpenter chains will be gold, Gunner chains will be silver, Striker chains will be bronze, and Surgeon chains will be nickel. It's a myth that if a cadet or their mentor accidentally loses their pendant neckless then they will experience bad luck throughout training.

    - Monthly Treasure Hunts: Once every month on the night of the full moon a patrol of PirateClan cats will be chosen by the Captain to leave the ship and venture out into unfamiliar lands to search for actual treasure, or to steal treasure from other clans. If this patrol doesn't return by dawn the next morning, another group will be sent to find them just in case something bad happened.

    - Duels: Held weekly, duels are not a thing to promote violence and hatred towards one another, but rather a way to train, provide entertainment, and build strength. Anyone can become a dueler if they want to, but as soon as they sign up to be one they are expected to train to spar whenever they have free time. On the day of the duels, all the duelers will be randomly paired up with a partner to spar, and judges will decide who wins these matches. Every time a dueler wins, they will receive a colored pin according to what "level" they had just accomplished. (will be sort of like in martial arts with belts, the color key as well as duel rules are yet to come)

    - Parrot Companions: Many parrots can be found in the territory which PirateClan resides in, however some of the parrots tend to take a liking to specific cats of the clan. If lucky, a pirate will be chosen by a parrot to be its master. This is an uncommon occurance in young and happens most with adults, however occasionally there will be times when a young will be chosen by a parrot. If this happens, then it's a sign that the young will grow up to be very respectable.


    The Clan is allowed to believe in whatever religion they desire.



    TERRITORY-

    The territory of PirateClan is rather majestic, referring to its namesake with several pirate-themed lands.

    PirateClan's camp is isolated in a large-sized cave , an enormous shipwreck inside. The wreckage is settled upon a small river that enters the cave's mouth, surrounding the debris like a little moat. Most of the pirates live in the bunkers of the ship, though a number of them stay in the cottages around it. The shipwreck contains enough space to fit the Captain's deck , Quartermaster's room , First Mate's bunk , a small carpenters ' cot , a rather roomy gunner quarters , and a little surgeons' sanctuary . Beneath the housing floor, there is a vast barge for festivities. Rallies (meetings) are also held on this floor. The very base of the ship contains the Sharkbait (prisoners)'s caddy .

    Outside the ship, several cottages line the walls of the cave. These cottages are normally occupied by the rest of the clans. Retired pirates, mothers, children, strikers, and various others dwell here, where they are safe and do not travel with the rest of the pirates. Some dwellings are dedicated to the HP pirates' family. The cave itself is patterned with vines that crawl up to the ceiling where gigantic stalagmites hang.

    Beyond the cave lies a beach-like scenery. It opens up to the sea, where the river in the cave originates. The beach has a glaringly bright lighthouse that houses the forecasters' sentries and is surrounded by a vast tropical jungle where odd, mystical-like creatures thrive. In the jungle, strikers can find scale-skinned birds or feathered rabbits, as well as the original and ever basic mouse, hare, deer, etc. Some prey in these parts of the territory are unedible for the pirates, and some can only be devoured by the treacherous predators that also live there. The full depths of the jungle are yet to be explored, therefore strikers, especially newly appointed ones, often stay by the beach and outskirts of the jungle where they find more pleasant prey.

    TITUS M. KACE -
    A jaguar slept in a large room, his flanks rising and falling. But it seemed disturbed. He was twitching in his sleep, and growling. Suddenly, he gasped awake, sweat coating his pelt. Shaking, he got up, shaking out his pelt. The Quartermaster shivered, despite the fact is was freaking hot outside. Putting on his bandanna, hat, and other accessories, he took a deep breath. Another nightmare about Meadowpounce. He thought, sighing. Padding outside, he took a deep breath of the salty air.

    //You never did answer my question. Can I play Meadowpounce?

    Penny was already awake as head surgeon, inspecting her surgeon's way of medicine storage. It was indeed interesting, but not necessarily organised. Snorting, Penny decided to leave it. The female Indian leopard wasn't too bothered how things got done, so long as they got done. I guess that's an advantage and disadvantage in itself. She turned and left her nest, heading to grab something to eat.

    STAGPAW — SURGEON CADET — FORM
    The Swedish youth was more of a morning person than a night owl. Well, he could be a night owl if he wanted to. He usually liked to stay up late to see the moon rise, but he also liked to get up before dawn to catch a glimpse of the sun rising into the sky. It just depended on how tired he was, he supposed. The serval had been out in the jungle, checking on the growing herb patches. He murmured a few greetings to his clanmates in passing before setting his sights on the head surgeon, Penny. She was a great healer, someone that he had always looked up to. Stagpaw, being eager to please, said to Penny on his way back to the surgeon's quarters, "Hello, Penny." His rather unique accent was thick on account of being raised by his Swedish mother. "I, ah, just went to check on the herbs. How are you?"


    AMBERPAW — GUNNER CADET — FORM
    Amberpaw was sleeping like the queen she was because a girl needed her beauty rest.



    Penny paused to glance over at Stagpaw. A small smile tugged at the corners of the leopard's lips. "I'm fine. Stagpaw, could you tell me, was it you or your mentor whom arranged those herbs?" She kept her response short and sweet - well, her response to Stagpaw was longer than it would have been if he were another cat, for she knew how the tom looked up to her and honestly? It made her feel great.

    Legendstreak||Female||master carpenter
    Legendstreak strode into the cottage that Seleppaw slapped in and Pounced on the sleeping cat. "Wake up," she hissed into her adopted daughter's ear. "Remember that I promised to show you some moves before your mentor took you out to train, but I can't do that if you're asleep, now can I?" The apprentice's eyes shot open as she remembered, "oh I'm ready now!" The cat got up yet going against her words her eyes were bleary and she was groggy. "Now how many times have I told you that you've got to get better at getting up? The best things happen before the sun is up anyhow!" Seleppaw nodded, with a grin on her face, "I know, I know." She walked out of the hut like cottage behind Legendstreak. "Now grab some breakfast first while I decide if we even have time for that. I wasn't expecting having to wake you up!" Seleppaw nodded and trotted over to the fresh kill, choosing a mouse to eat. Legendstreak looked on, deep in thought.

    Morning came. Ah, goody, another day for Cammy to look like a brute. The young lynx rose from his nest, a bleary-eyed glance toward the empty dwelling behind him. One day, that room will be half-filled with toy boats and-ah, other things that weren't his. Cha'd be his son's, taking over the ship, though Cammy really was a touch too young for them breeding of budders. He would be unfortunate to be tied down so early.

    Now on his feet, the boy strode out to the deck, his features already straightened out and hardened by the morning sun. Of course, the child in him still yawned and yearned for another hour in bed, but there were things to do today. Oh, yes, things. Can't be sleeping when there are tasks undone. Cammy flicked open his golden pocket watch as he set his dandy pirate hat on, the incessant ticking of the clock somewhat pleasing him. The last time that-ah, his time, stopped, they's were about to go to war. It reassured him that he and his pirates weren't hitting the sails anytime soon.

    Skipping the stairs, Cammy took the boyish way off the boat. A few of the unmarried pirate daughters cooed over him, though, marrying one of them would be like getting under the skin of his shipmates. They's already oppose him, no need to make it worse. Well, all they's except his two in-lines, one of which he noticed grumbling already. "Kace, all'ze grumbling and dumbling this early in the morning? Keep ye' head straight, or's you might be the buttonhead of the crew." He said, uncharacteristically bumping him with a snarky, but good-natured, smirk.

    TITUS M. KACE -
    Kace frowned, adjusting his hat. "Oi, you can't tell me you aren't tired! You're younger than me, and somehow you're up!" He grumbled, shuffling his paws. //whoa I'm so lazy rn lol

    DRIFTSKY -
    Driftsky is sleeping because she is a lazy bum.

    ORANGELEAF -
    Orangeleaf is still sleeping.

    XAVIER T. YULLER -
    Xavier is still sleeping.

    /yells @ dream you wasted all that good muse gdmmit/
    Finally, Kace was looking up. "I can bloody well tell you I'm wide awake, 'specially with grumbling dumblings to take care of," Cammy said, tipping his friend's hat over. There was nothing better to start the day with some playful banter with his quartermaster. "Chop, chop, Kace, there are busy things to do!"

    ooc > I'm such a muse waster ಥ_ಥ
    TITUS M. KACE -
    Kace was still in his bout of depression, so that's why he assumed he was still tired. Plus he had a hangover from last night- he had found some alcohol the night before in this chest (what a surprise!), and had a few beers before passing out. You'd probably see him throwing up over the side of the ship later on. Shaking his head, he felt the fog clear out of his brain and he grinned. "Alright, alright! What do you need me to do today? Throw another girl off the boat for ya, or do you need me to beat up someone's sorry bum?" He joked, winking.

    Cammy never backed down for a light drink or two, but he had his regulations on the drinking days. Yesterday, for example, wasn't one, for today was the planning of exploration. Too much of this damned isle was unexplored, and Cammy wasn't feeling like one to back down from the challenges that he heard the forest present. "No, no, Kace. Git' it in that head a' yours. We're chartin' today. Gotta' make sure we know this place like the back of our paws."

    Stormpaw was sitting down, grooming his long orange tabby fur when his ears twitched slightly at the sounds around him. His blue orbs looking up, to see if his sister was awake, but he hadn't seen her since he got out of his nest this morning. His ears swiveled again, before he looking up at the sky, squinting slightly at sunny sky, his tail swishing against the ground. The tough tom stodgy up, before going back and waking his sister, by gently nudging her with his paw. "It's time to wake up, Patchy." The tom meowed quietly, using a nickname that he had made for her when they were younger. His adds swiveled again, before he licked his sister's head encouragingly with his very bright smile.
    He did this every morning just so his sister would feel less self conscious. He felt bad for her, because he didn't know that she hated herself a lot more than she showed, but there wasn't anything that Patchpaw could hide from Stormpaw. Stormpaw knew everything about his sister, and was very observant on what she did when she thought he wasn't around. But he was almost always around, just to keep her safe.


    Patchpaw was sleeping sound fully in her nest. Though there wasn't many sounds coming from her, she was still having a bad dream. She tended to have nightmares of what happened when she lost her eyes, even though she was pretty young when it happened. The she cat was used to them, yet that failed to make the night terrors any easier to ignore. Her paws twitched, and her eyes seemed to be shut tight. When she felt the familiar paw of her brother, her eye lids loosened, and she slowly woke from her sleep. She stretched out her now stiff legs, her cream ears flicking back ad she opened her orbs to see her brother. She smiled at the tom, purring slightly at the encouragement that he gave her every morning. Stretching her body once more, the she cat got up.
    "Morning Stormpaw. Sleep well?" She asked, before she yawned widely, showing her sharp canines. She walked out to the open area, her ears perking up, as her eye moved to the pile of fresh kill. She knew it would all be gone soon, which meant her and her mentor would be hunting. She didnt mind at all. She loved hunting. It was peaceful, and quiet for the most part, and it also meant she didn't have to worry about others staring at her horribly ugly, scarred face.

    Lamascus/Lam ❀ Master Striker ❀ Female

    A stunning sleek furred ocelot exited one of the cottages by the ship wreck PirateClan had claimed as it's own oh so long ago, the little river underneath it gurgling softly in the brisk morning air. Lam stretched as she left her cottage and headed towards the looming wreck in search of the captain. She was more than certain that he would be in or near the ship at this time of day. She was fairly bored and figured bugging him would be a sure way of curing her boredom. Not only that but she wanted to know what he had planned for today.
    Lam wandered around camp for a few minutes aimlessly before she finally spotted who she was looking for, joined by one of his dearest friends, Kace. "Good morning, you two. You're both up rather early I see." The ocelot approached them with a casual smile on her face.
    Lamascus had nothing against the young captain or his background, in fact she more admired him for the strength it took to get through such a brutal childhood. So with that she made certain to give him the respect she figured he deserved.

    Alistair ❀ Forecaster ❀ Male

    [being the lazy ass he is he's still sleeping.]

    Before Cameron could say any more, a soft, familiar voice struck him from behind. He turned to face the, uh, rather large cat, of whom stood comfortably taller than he. Even as one of the shortest and youngest members aboard, the lynx had no trouble finding himself undaunted by the largest of wildcats. "Morning, Lamascus," He spoke, having to raise his voice over a crash of falling wood caused by the carpenters. "C'mon, boys! Keep it steady!" Cammy admonished the NPCs, temporarily taking his attention off Lam' to watch for any unsafe moves by the cadets. After finding no issue, he then resumed his conversation with his quartermaster and master striker. "There be no use to stay late. Days don't come early for nothin'." The captain said, pausing for a moment as he figured Lamascus didn't understand his previous words. "We's chartin' today, once 'zeh boys 'zen girls all awake, we's taking a troupe out to the perimeter of the isle.

    PIRATECLAN


    TITUS M. KACE -
    Kace grinned, and suddenly it hit him. Maybe today would be the day that they found Meadowpounce! He didn't want to get his hopes up, as he thought this every day when he went around the territory. But the jaguar nodded, wearing that same cheeky grin on his face. "Like the back of our paws, gotcha." Turning to Lamascus, (TOBUSCUS) the brute dipped his head to the Master Striker. "If we wanna lead this Clan pretty good, I would think we'd be up as early as we could possibly be!" He grinned, nudging Ryker for no reason.

    STAGPAW — SURGEON CADET — FORM
    // sorry for the late response! if i take too long to respond then you guys can just skip over me lmao

    Stagpaw began to beam with pride, a figurative ray of sunshine as the head surgeon spoke to him. "'Twas me, actually." Hey, if he got up early than he might as well be productive, right? "I didn't even see Corona wake up. I wonder if she's awake now?" He glanced over his shoulder, looking around for his other mentor before returning his gaze to Penny. "Well, ah, got anything for me to do?"


    IVYPAW — GUNNER CADET — FORM
    Ah, the queen was finally up from her beauty rest. She got to her paws and stretched, taking her sweet time before exiting the den. She gave a swipe of her tongue over her shoulder, making sure no strands of fur were sticking out of place.
    Ivypaw sighed and flitted her gaze over her clanmates. Ugh, how could they even get up this early? She overheard Cammy talking about trouping the perimeter of the isle or something. "Must we always do work? Can't we just have a day when we have some time to ourselves?" Ivypaw didn't care if anyone heard her or not. She was just complaining about something constantly.

    Penny blinked and sighed. She didn't want to tell him he was unorganised and crush him, but as a teacher to both he and Corona she felt like it was necessary. Still, she didn't say anything. Only smiled. "I was about to ask Kace if I could join this month's treasure hunt. I may be master surgeon, but the Clan's still got you and Corona to heal it. I don't go very often. Maybe afterwards I can test your knowledge."

    Meadowpounce wandered carefully around the island,     cautious of where she stepped. Where on earth was she?

    Clover had been wandering for what felt like several hours before coming across a gathering of cats. Well, then. That could be a good sign but it could also be very, very bad. He stayed hidden for now.
