Don't You Dare be Afraid of the Dark | The Coven | SIGN UPS | OPEN

"My ears hear all, no matter how quiet someone tries to be... I'll always pick up the smallest of breaths to the faintest of heartbeats."

Name: Bat

Nicknames: Batty

Gender & Sexuality: Male & Bisexual

Age (in moons): 64 Moons

Rank: Echo

Appearance: A wise looking elderly fluffy black cat with large bat-like eyes, bright orange eyes, and little bits of his fur turning white with old age. His walk is a bit stiff sometimes as his joints are old but his fur is always really soft and warm to cuddle with. But under all that fur is a slim and, formerly, agile body that could squeeze into the tightest of spaces.

Disabilities: He is beginning to have bone-aches during the cold seasons and his vision is a bit spotty sometimes but his ears compensate for his fading vision.

Personality: Bat is a calm and serious individual who has always been loyal to the Coven ever since he was born. He has always done whatever the Reaper has asked of him and always saw it through to the end. He values the Coven and the Reaper above all else, even over his own kin, and has always used his skills and ears to further the Coven the best he could.

He is charmingly social and enjoys hearing the news spread throughout the camp and is pretty good at making friends with the other cats in the camp, but he tends to avoid getting too close to the Hollows for he doesn't want to get attached to anyone who is going to be used as a Sacrifice any day the Reaper chooses. He loves his daughter, and wishes she'd actually talk to him, but he finds her foolish for not understanding why he did what he did. Yes Maple and Birch have passed away but he didn't object because objecting to the Reaper and his decision would be foolish and only cause more problems, Bat stayed quiet so he could protect the only family he had left.

History: Bat was born and raised in the Coven and has lived there for the many moons in his life, he even had a beautiful mate and a couple kits. And though many things have happened (look to Obsidian's past for more details) Bat continues to watch over his daughter with a lot of pride and a bit of sadness as she continues to excel in the Coven but still have a burning hate towards him. He knows Obsidian doesn't like certain things about how the Coven is run but he truly hopes she doesn't try to do anything foolish in the future. But now Bat has finally earned his position as an Echo and he couldn't be more pleased with himself as he gets to help shape the youngsters and help them grow into fine Shades that look after the Coven. Now if only he could mend the relationship he had with his daughter...

Positive Traits: Loyal, social, great listener, observant, and a great strategist.

Negative Traits: Apathetic, distant, accepts things as they are without trying to change it, selfish, and a bit judgmental towards the Hollows.

Likes: His daughter, the Coven, the Reaper, clear weather, and gossip.

Dislikes: Hollows, those that fail to live up to expectations, stormy weather, the idea of losing his hearing, and rule breakers.

Habits: Will often close his eyes and just listen to the sounds around him, liking to listen to what kind of gossip is going around the Coven.

Fears: He genuinely fears that his only living child is going to do something stupid that will have major consequences.

Skills: He has the best hearing out of all the Coven.

Kin: Obsidian (daughter), Birch (son), Maple (mate)

Relationship Status: Single, but he isn't expecting anyone to show interest in him since he is getting on in moons.

Crush: None at the moment

Past Partners: Maple

Turn-Ons: A great cuddler, someone to relax and talk with, and kind and good with kits.

Turn-Offs: Brash, rude, and mentioning his previous mate.
Other: I mostly joined because I was bored and was looking for an interesting clan to RP with, and this Coven is very interesting.

"My heart is as black as a stone, and twice as strong."

Name: Obsidian

Nicknames: Dia

Gender & Sexuality: Female & Bisexual

Age (in moons): 28 Moons

Rank: Shade (But aspires to become the Reaper someday)

Appearance: A large, beautiful black she-cat with a powerful body and electric lime green eyes. Her strides are long and powerful, as if she walks with purpose, and she is one of the largest and most muscular she-cats in the clan. She even outgrew her own father, who passed along his very soft fur. Her whole stature is very confident and.

Disabilities: None.

Personality: Obsidian has a commanding personality to go with her powerful stature, she is confident, brave, and determined. She believes that her believes and thoughts are right, even when she is wrong, even compared to the Reaper (though she'll never say this out loud, she knows a death wish when she sees it) she believes things would be better if she was in charge. She wants what is best for the Coven and she believes she is the best, no one can change her mind even when they try to knock her down a few pegs.

She hates her father for what happened to her mother and brother, that he didn't try to stop what happened to them, and she continues to hold that against him and refuses to even talk to him and work it out. Obsidian plans on doing whatever she can to make her goals a reality, no matter who she has to step over or kick down... she will become the next Reaper.

History: Obsidian didn't always hate her father and the Reaper, back when she was still a kit she was still a happy bundle of fluff. But then, soon after she and her brother began training, one day her mother got terribly sick and the Reaper didn't allow the Keeper to heal her. Saying that it would be a waste of medicine to try to heal someone so sick and near death. And the worst part of it was that her father didn't even try to argue and try to convince the leader to save her, causing Maple to die only a few days later. But things didn't end there, oh no. Obsidian began to notice how her brother had been falling behind her in training, being much more timid and clumsy than her sister, he was already setting a bad example for himself. And while she became a Shade her brother was forced to become a Hollow, which made Obsidian absolutely furious, and still her father didn't even raise a paw to help him. And while she did whatever she could to help Birch train to be able to prove himself enough to become a Shade but.... it wasn't enough.... Her brother was a sacrifice and it left Obsidian all alone.... with her father.... Who, along with the Reaper, she began to absolutely hate and loath. She hasn't properly talked to her father since her brother's death and her hatred only continued to fester and grow as she vowed to herself that one day she'll avenge both her mother and her brother by leading the Coven as the Reaper.... That was her goal, and still is to this day. She is just waiting for the perfect time to strike.

Positive Traits: Confident, brave, determined, serious, and strong.

Negative Traits: Prideful, puts all the weight of her expectations on herself, is willing to do anything to get what she wants, is secretly not loyal to the Reaper, and holds grudges.

Likes: Feeling strong, fighting, nighttime, complements, and living up to expectations.

Dislikes: Her father, the Reaper, daytime, being underestimated, and failure.

Habits: Tends to send a glare to her father whenever she sees him, but often ignores him purposely as well when he tries to talk to him.

Fears: Not being able to avenge her mother and brother and not living up to her own super high expectations.

Skills: Is a strong fighter with fast reflexes.

Kin: Bat (Father), Birch (brother), Maple (mother)

Relationship Status: Single, but not looking(subject to change if the right person walks by).

Crush: None

Past Partners: None

Turn-Ons: Prefers to be the big spoon when cuddling (either tom or she-cat), has a similar mindset to her, and someone who will progress with the relationship at her own pace.(she prefers to take it slow to see if they'd actually be a good fit.)

Turn-Offs: Someone who blindly follows the Reaper and those that continently try to correct her.
Other: She could be the other Claw if no one else takes the position but otherwise she could just be a Shade, we could do some villain plotting with her if you'd like~

"I have seen things, things you couldn't possibly imagine."

Name: Ghost

Nicknames: Boo(mostly by people who are family or close friends cause she tends to appear out of no where and spook those that don't notice.)

Gender & Sexuality: Female & Asexual

Age (in moons): 6 Moons

Rank: Recently made Keeper in Training.

Appearance: Ghost is a faded white tortoiseshell she-cat with foggy silver-green eyes. She maintains a mysterious/creepy appearance and despite still being pretty young her eyes seem to shine with a mysterious wisdom and her fur looks like it has been aged for a long time. It gives the young she-cat a very unique appearance, almost as if she was a ghost living in the realm of the living...

Disabilities: Despite the glazed look on her eyes she isn't blind, but she can get easily mistaken for being blind. She may seem like she has a couple of disabilities but in reality she has none.

Personality: Ghost is a rather mysterious being, despite being so young she seems oddly wise and aware of everything around her. She is a great trainee, always listening and attentive to her mentor, and is good at memorizing all the herbs the Coven uses. She also seems to frequently have very vivid dreams and be aware of those that have already passed.

She truly enjoys her position as Keeper in Training as much as she enjoys learning. And while she is a rather quiet cat she doesn't mince the truth when it needs to be said, even when it is something that could be devastating to the cat she is talking to. She is also someone who could just watch fire burn if she has nothing else to do, she finds it mesmerizing watching the flame flicker back and forth and how it can be both loved and feared just by existing.

History: There really isn't much to her history at the moment, to be honest. She was born and raised within the Coven like most of the other cats but she has always been a bit different compared to the other kits, showing less interest in fighting and hunting and more interest in fire and whatever the Keeper is doing. She began to show shines of potential as a future keeper, and after proving herself to the Reaper and her now mentor she has finally gotten to the position she is now. (Sorry it is so short, there isn't much to her story yet.)

Positive Traits: Wise for her age, good memorization skills, and perceptive to the dead.

Negative Traits: Is eerily quiet sometimes, not very social, and doesn't sugarcoat her words when giving diagnoses or giving her opinion.

Likes: The smell of herbs, learning new things, fire, and talking to the deceased.

Dislikes: Those that dance around the truth, rainy days, being thought of as disabled, and those that doubt the darkness.

Habits: Will watch fire if she isn't needed or doing anything else, if there is no fire she'll just end up staring at one particular spot and not move until she is called. She also has a habit of just appearing out of no where, like she is so quiet walking up to someone they don't notice her until she is already next to them. It is honestly kind of creepy to some.

Fears: Not being able to continue her training as Keeper.

Skills: Great memory, good at handling fire, and being preceptive with the dead.

Kin: Open(if anyone wants her to be kin with their cat is fine, just ask first~)

Relationship Status: Single, but not interested.

Crush: None.

Past Partners: None.

Turn-Ons: Prefers to keep relationships platonic.

Turn-Offs: Anyone that tries to go further with her past platonic.
Other: Anyone want her to be kin with their cats?

"The Light has already forsaken me, I might as well embrace the Darkness. And if it wishes for my death.... so be it."

Name: Cloverheart

Nicknames (optional): Clover

Gender & Sexuality: Female, straight

Age (in moons): 25 Moons

Rank: Mother

Appearance: Clover is a beautiful sleek brown she-cat with her head, paws, and tail being a slightly darker brown than the rest of her body and clover green eyes. She is currently very much pregnant so her stride is a bit laboring for her and she is a bit quiet because she is an outsider within the Coven but I am sure she'll warm up to everyone there eventually.

Disabilities: She is currently pregnant so she isn't able to move properly but otherwise she is perfectly healthy.

Personality: Clover is a gentle and sweet hearted she-cat who loves kits and deeply cares for them. She is also a bit shy with other cats she doesn't know well but warms up to them eventually. Unfortunately with her past she has grown to be very hard on herself and would often talk herself down in her head, knowing that she was a failure to her past clan and to everyone she knew and now she has to try to keep her past from affecting her kits.

She feels so bad that her kits don't have a father to look up to and hopes that the cats of the Coven will watch over her kits even if, or when, she won't be around for them anymore. Yeah, she has dealt with suicidal thoughts many times in fact. But she keeps trying to be brave... for her kits for they are the only thing that really matters in this world anymore.

History: Cloverheart, or Clover as she prefers to be called nowadays, was actually not originally born here in the Coven. She was actually born to a clan quite a ways away and was raised there for most of her life. But then one day she fell in love with a cat from a neighboring clan and they had a secret relationship for about two moons but then one day Cloverheart realized she was pregnant and that her 'mate' was obviously distancing himself from her because he realized this even before she did. And since she was so horrible at keeping a secret from her own clanmates it didn't take long to find out that she was expecting and... who the father was... And thus she was kicked out of her clan, Clover tried to pled with her 'mate' and his clan but they only chased her out as the tom denied any relation to her. So.... she ran, she couldn't do much else. She franticly ran, ran, ran, and ran to find a safe place to have and raise her kits. Who are the only ones that matter to her anymore, her kits matter more to her than even her own life at this point. And then finally.... she came across the Coven. She pleaded with the Coven, begging them to take her in and her unborn kits into their group. She vowed to do anything they want if it means that her kits get to have a good life. And, for reasons unknown to her, they agreed to take in the desperate mother in exchange for her kits to belong to the Coven and she readily agreed. Thus bringing us to present day as Clover lives with the Coven, waiting for the day her kits are finally born.

Positive Traits: Kind, motherly, loyal, honest, and protective.

Negative Traits: Self-deprecating, is really hard on herself, fragile heart, suicidal thoughts, and is a bit socially awkward around the cats of the Coven(seeing as she is not from here originally).

Likes: Kits, the Coven, cool quiet nights, soft beds, and friendly cats.

Dislikes: Herself, her past, her previous mate, hot days, and clans.

Habits: No noticeable habits.

Fears: That her kits wouldn't get the life they deserve or that they'd suffer because of her mistakes and failures as a mother.

Skills: She is a wonderful hunter and amazing at raising good kits and making sure they become fine cats, she fights better when defending kits.

Kin: Her unborn kits.

Relationship Status: Single mother, would be happy to see someone take up the role of father for her yet to be born kits.

Crush: None yet.

Past Partners: Brightshade (He abandoned her as soon as he discovered she had his kits)

Turn-Ons: Toms who are kind, toms who are good fathers and roll models, and those that see her for who she is and not where she came from.

Turn-Offs: Any tom that reminds her of her past relationship, those that hate kits, and those that can't handle responsibility.
Other: She is still a short ways away from having her kits but once her kits are old enough to begin her training she is willing to become a Hollow if it means her kits are able have a good life here, it is much better than her old clan.(I'd like to see if anyone is interested if anyone is interested in her becoming their future mate, anyone opening to plotting for this?)
