StoneClan [sign up thread | open]

Part I: The Dark Time

Before StoneClan was formed into the solidified force it is today; the cats whom have made up the clan itself had been a simple band of strangers whom tolerated one another within the limits of purely survival purposes. These cats had settled upon a flatland, although providing little protection from the outside elements, the strangers had thrived upon the merciful rainfall that would settle upon the lands as well as hunt the wildlife that would be pushed through the flatland’s seemingly endless expanse. It was peaceful, as the cats tolerated one another willingly enough and conflict seemed like something too far away for these cats to pay much heed to. However, in their complacent nature that had settled upon them, they were oblivious to what would soon come to befall them in their time of ease.

Ten generations after these nameless cats had settled upon the flatland that they called their home; soon stranger cats would come to them, battered and injured, far too weak to last upon their own strength alone. Due to the cats having no previous threats or even interaction with those living on the outside, in their compassionate hearts, they brought the strange scented cats into their ranks, treating their wounds and teaching them how to hunt the wildlife that they hunted themselves within their homeland. This however in their compassion would soon doom them to what would be forever referred to the “Dark Time”. The strange cats whom had been tended to had a leader, a foreign cat with an even stranger name and even more so unknown origins; a tom named Blackpath. Blackpath had found the cats upon the flatlands vulnerable in their kindness and innocence, as they had no central leader, Blackpath had settled upon himself to become the missing figure that they needed, a cruel leader whom would soon introduce the innocent souls to a path that they never knew. A path dripping in blood and suffering.

Through Blackpath slowly pushing himself into a leadership position, the innocent cats had trusted him, having already befriended the cats who he had led to the flatlands, they assimilated to his ways. However, he introduced unknown things to them, and forced them to pick up a path of violence to prove their worth to him. Gradually, Blackpath began warping the cats to fight amongst one another, to thin out the weak and old from their ranks, enforcing punishment on those whom dared showed defiance, and completely silencing those whom tried to raise their voice in protest. His era of terror proceeded onward as the flatlands were also being stripped bare of its prey, with Blackpath demanding excessive hunting and the ever pressing need for new blood to be birthed into the world, it was clear that the flatlands could no longer support Blackpath’s now subjugated group. So, it was soon underneath his choice that Blackpath would move his now fear filled group into territory beyond the ancestral home of the formerly innocent cats he had captured.

Part II: The Great Voyage

Underneath Blackpath’s leadership, it was then that the fearful cats whom he had subjugated underneath him would be forced to leave the flatlands that they only knew. The first few days were met with little morale with the cats he now led into land unknown. Death although now not uncommon had seemed to cling to the large group of cats as many had lost their will to live, their hearts having rested with their home, their will to live had faltered and many in mass amounts had slipped off into the void of death, crippling a vast majority of Blackpath’s numbers. However, Blackpath wouldn’t take pity on their poor souls, casting those whom died into mass burial pits for the buzzards to feast upon their flesh, as such this was met with reluctant acceptance and yet disgust in his blatant disregard for the dead. The cats were pushed even further, forced to their limits as Blackpath granted them little time to sleep and very little time to recover from past injuries, and due to moving through climates that the once innocent cats were unused to, many had also died from the sheer stress upon their bodies.

Through harsh weather did the remaining cats were forced to soldier on, forced to keep moving despite crying out for the rest they wanted. Blackpath wouldn’t relent however, and soon the exhausted group, pushed to their limits and only surviving upon the fear Blackpath had instilled within them of his demands, they had finally reached a new home; vastly different from their previous one, and a home that was already occupied by strangers, a group that they would soon assimilate into their culture and ranks, though of course not by peaceful means.

Part III: The Dawn

The cats soon would settle into a humid forest, thick with prey and vast river systems. Vastly different from their previous home, Blackpath soon had forced his exhausted cats to begin repeating what he had forced them to do before, produce young blood and hunt without regard to the amount of prey they were slaughtering. This of course, wouldn’t go unnoticed as the forest was already occupied by cats they had yet to come face to face with. The forest was already occupied by a group whom called themselves StoneClan. This clan, led by who would be known as the fearful cat’s new leader; a tomcat named Morningstar had found the disturbances within the territory and would soon come to find the cats whom had been forced to settle in. Thus, due to this discovery a war would break out between the warped Blackpath and the stranger, Morningstar and his group. The battles were fierce and numerous, yet with the wavering moral of the cats underneath Blackpath’s control, Morningstar had taken advantage of the obvious hatred of Blackpath and soon granted refuge and safety underneath his leadership. Many of course would soon join Morningstar, and thus Blackpath’s reign would abruptly end. The leader whom had terrorized them would do so no longer, and thus Blackpath would soon be slaughtered by the cats who he had thought he had control over, and as promised Morningstar who would be seen as these cat’s savior had accepted them within his clan’s ranks, offering them time to recover and fully accept the foreign ways that were presented to them.

Part IV: The Cataclysm

However, peace would not last. Although moons after Blackpath’s death, another vast change would settle upon the StoneClan cats; the earth itself would rip and shatter, forever changing the homeland these exhausted cats were trying to adapt to. The shaking had happened suddenly, and the fear that had swallowed the clan so suddenly had caused many to fall to the earth which churned and split open, swallowing up trees and unfortunately taking many cats with it. As such, the humid forest would soon be vastly changed, with a massive split running through the center of the territory and stretching for miles. Within the unexpected event, the cats would unfortunately lose their leader, their hope in the dark: Morningstar. As everything had settled, and the shock would wane, the clan would once more struggle to bring themselves together, suffering being something that would change them, and soon they could only hold onto the promise that the future may provide them, something that even now remains uncertain.

personality

Shiningheart is a cat whom is quite accurately named; a good-hearted, warm and loyal giant of a warrior. However, his attitude to be primarily good is caused by his father’s dark stain of a legacy that lays heavy upon his shoulders, having seen majority of the damage his father Blackpath had done, Shiningheart perhaps feels a bit responsible for events that he personally had nothing to do with. As such, taking the blame for things he isn’t even directly responsible for had put quite the burden upon his shoulders, making him a more apologetic and almost uncertain cat whenever he has to deal with others, even if he says things with a cheerful smile and a hearty laugh; Shiningheart holds endless worries about how his clanmates perceive him. He desires nothing more than to be rid of the darkness that Blackpath permanently left upon the victims that would soon become StoneClan, however such things is something that can’t easily be washed away.

Deeper into his personality and attributes, due to his age he is a calm, wise cat. Forced to grow up earlier on in his years; he perhaps seems a bit too logical and detached from the world around him at times, being intelligent and analytical of perhaps every situation. Whereas he also takes his time to not ruffle others fur due to his heavy self-guilt, Shiningheart does care deeply about the well-being of others around him and will stop at nothing to make sure his clanmates are safe and happy. As much as his father was cold and cruel, Shiningheart is perhaps his father’s polar opposite, a compassionate and gentle cat whom wishes to heal wounds and not add more injuries. However, this isn’t to say that Shiningheart is completely good, there are plenty of traits that Blackpath had given to him despite him being in denial of such things.

This tom is extremely dangerous when enraged, blind perhaps by his anger and fierce emotions when reaching a fever pitch; Shiningheart at such points disregards friend from foe and simply acts on physical reactions. He is relentless, brutal and holds zero mercy in his fits of anger when pushed to such a point, and he can hold deep grudges that last for moons. As gentle as he could seem to be at times, Shiningheart is unapologetic and vengeful when someone does cross him, and he can prove to be very unforgiving and completely frigid to those whom he regards as enemies or not to be trusted. However, such things does not occur often, and he does try to fight this side of him from being shown too much out of fear of possibly scaring his clanmates.

history Born as Rust to one of Blackpath's many mates; Rust was born toward the beginning of the journey to find a new homeland for the displaced rogue group. He and his brother Shade hadn't lived an easy kithood, due to his mother Ginger being dismissed by Blackpath almost immediately after her giving birth to his two sons, Ginger had been more or less tossed aside and heartbroken as a result, having been fooled by Blackpath's maniuplative nature. And given the rogue group's rather heartless attitude at the time for their young, Rust and Shade would be separated from their mother at the young age of three moons, forced prematurely to begin their training in hunting and fighting.

The training was brutal; due to the group having no central homeland and being displaced from their old home, the terrain changed often giving little time to adapt to their surroundings and the training sessions themselves were borderline cruel. Rust and his brother were oftentimes at the mercy of the older generation of cats, primarily those who were born a few moons prior to them or Blackpath's trusted soldiers whom forced the young kits to fight and compete in violent battles oftentimes to the death against those who were once considered friends. These brutal training sessions oftentimes rooted out the "weaker" cats who couldn't survive the slaughter of sorting out, however Rust and Shade had survived. Primarily, it was Rust whom strived to protect Shade, oftentimes leaping to the defense of his sibling and taking brutal attacks for him in order to keep him alive. With Ginger, along with other mothers being prevented to interact with their kits as soon as they were taken from their mother's side, Rust and Shade had to oftentimes rely upon one another; though Rust did this willingly to protect his younger sibling, Shade didn't take too kindly to Rust's acts of kindness.

Unlike Rust whom seemed to have taken much of Ginger's gentle disposition, Shade was the polar opposite of his giant of a brother. Weak, small and yet filled with the violence that Blackpath held within his heart, Shade didn't commonly speak against Rust's acts to save him. Instead, unknown to Rust, Shade oftentimes led Rust to take such hits so he wouldn't have to be bothered to fight, taking advantage of Rust's protective nature. His younger brother strove to gain Blackpath's attention, disregarding the gentleness shown by Ginger toward her children. And as they grew into their later moons, this darkness inside of Shade seemed to grow and become more apparent as Rust only seemed to show reluctance to the ways of the group as the fear he saw made him feel utterly disgusted. Rust's relationship with Shade as a result had begun to crumble.

The care that Rust tried to show to his brother were brushed off more often now as Shade had refused to speak to him, oftentimes avoiding the giant tomcat in a silent display of disgust. As a result, Blackpath had favored Shade over Rust, avoiding his other son and praising Shade for his growing loyalty to their father. Meanwhile, Rust had been isolated mostly by his peers, as he only showed to be quite weak in his kindness to the others around him, his behavior was unheard of. So, as a result, Rust was oftentimes punished for his behavior, beaten, forbidden to eat for days on end, and under constant supervision. Eventually, he too would crumble to Blackpath's established ways, numbing himself forcibly to the pain of those around him, however he had begun to harbor hatred toward Shade as his brother only seemed to be delighting in Rust's torment.

As the moons passed by, and they had reached their new homeland being occupied by StoneClan and with the battles ensuing shortly after their arrival, Rust during this timeframe was just a peon to be moved by his father's will. However, during the constant fighting against StoneClan and their numbers dying off in the many fights, his brother had foolishly attempted to lead a separate branch off from the main group to confront their enemies at the time. Rust, being still relatively young had protested against Shade in his decision despite his dislike for his brother at the time, he didn't wish for Shade to die. However, Shade had brushed off Rust's concerns, charging off and due to Rust having a bad feeling settling within his chest, the tom had followed after his sibling. The trek into StoneClan's territory was tense and silent between the two brothers and their little group, soon coming across an unsuspecting patrol, Shade had enthustically jumped at the chance to rip the StoneClan cats apart. Despite Rust shouting after him to stop, Shade didn't listen, leaping into the fray.

The battle that enused was chaotic and confused, as each side fought for their lives, the battle ended almost as quick as it had started, with a yowl of agony from Shade as his brother was struck by a StoneClan cat's claws to his eyes. Despite Rust's prior grievances against his brother, he leaped to his rescue, grasping Shade and calling out for a retreat as his brother struggled and spat in his grasp, yowls of agony and hatred spewing from his brother's mouth. Soon, forcing the other cats in their group ahead of them, Rust had sheltered his brother underneath a fallen tree, soon met with the bitter reality that Shade's eyes were permanently mutilated, blinding him for life.

It was then that Rust realized that his brother was at his mercy. Bringing him back to Blackpath's camp at that time would undoubtably mean death for him, however leaving him here after tending to his injuries in a territory that would be unknown would perhaps be cruel; but at least his brother would have a chance at survival. So, tending to Shade's injuries in the silence that had settled between them, it was then that Rust had spoken one final time to his sibling "I'm giving you a chance to survive. Go, and I pray that you never come back. I will not spare you anymore kindness after this." Rust had not let go of the sting of betrayal from his brother moons prior, knowing Shade was as twisted as their father had strengthened his resolve in that moment, but the loss of having to cut off a family member had perhaps run deep within Rust's heart despite him brushing it aside. He soon would leave Shade in the darkness of night upon the third day of tending to his injuries, never to see his brother again.

Soon after such events, Blackpath would be executed after Morningstar had offered Blackpath's group a better life in which many including Rust had agreed to. Rust would be added into StoneClan's ranks as an apprentice despite being around thirty-five moons at the time, renamed to Shiningpaw and soon completing his apprenticeship shortly before the cataclysm hit. However since the cataclysm and the events that followed that undoubtably caused many of the StoneClan cats to adapt and change, Shiningheart had become an excellent warrior whom dedicates every breath to the clan who had given him a new path, fighting to leave the dark path that his father had left looming over him. His duties had primarily left him missing much of what life had to offer, having not taken a mate nor starting a family due to his dark history.

personality A gentle, kind and yet very shy soul, Plumfeather is what would be called a sensitive spirit. He commonly recoils from harming others, striving to heal and mend, yet he is perhaps far too passive for his own good. Rather than speak his mind, he commonly stays quiet as such thoughts he considers to be far too harsh to speak out loud, thus making him a coward in some aspects of showing his personality. Instead, he hides oftentimes behind a mask of gentleness and kindness, refusing to allow anyone to dig deeper and see what he tries so desperately to hide; the real him. Instead, as Plumfeather is quite cordial and almost frigid in his distance and polite guestures, it is quite difficult for others to connect to him. This behavior mostly comes from him simply from events in his kithood, and more importantly stems from his relationship with his sister, Starlingpad.

Plumfeather in terms of his real nature is very intelligent, bolder than what he normally would show and is adventurous and curious, having a more comical side rather than being closed off and cold. He takes enjoyment in the companionship of his clanmates and desires nothing more than to lift others spirits whenever one is feeling down and is surprisingly very cheerful and a very affectionate cat, one whom trusts very easy and is very loyal to those around him.

Yet, Plumfeather has crumbled underneath the weight of the legacy that Morningstar had left behind, doubting himself all too often and commonly attempting to distance himself from his grandfather's legacy as much as possible. He doesn't desire to underneath the constant spotlight, nor did he truly desire to be a medicine cat and harbors a secret hatred toward StarClan due to reasons he holds to himself, reluctant to reveal and thus refuses to commune with his warrior ancestors although he never allows anyone of his clanmates to know his lack of faith in the ancestors who guide them.

history Plumkit and his sister Starlingkit were born a moon after the events of the cataclysm; losing their father and their grandfather the moon prior. As such, both kits were fatherless and left with the heavy burden of being related to Morningstar, although this burden would be felt more by Plumkit. Plumkit was born with a weak body and frail bones, as such from birth he was protected more so than his sister whom was healthy and strong. Out of fear of having Plumkit injured, the medicine cat Leechmouth had instructed for Plumkit to not be allowed to play without supervision and oftentimes brought the frail Plumkit to the medicine cat den to watch over him. Like any energetic kit however, Plumkit hated the special treatment and it was noticeable that as he grew with Starlingkit, the two siblings weren't close at all. Plumkit had gained Starlingkit's ire due to all of the excessive attention (despite it being unwanted), and Plumkit as a result had been ignored by his sister as well as the other kits who more often than not had followed Starlingkit's lead and left Plumkit alone.

Isolated and bitter, Plumkit only took solace in the companionship of Leechmouth, though often referring to the elderly medicine cat in his mind as an "old, irritated, stinky tom"; the medicine cat did seem to hold some patience for Plumkit and soon, Plumkit would see the path that was prematurely laid out for him, a path he didn't want. Frequently, visions of starry cats had passed through his dreams, came into view during even the brightest of days, and haunted him with their whispers. The one cat he saw more than what he wanted to was his grandfather, Morningstar. The former leader would always be there, attempting to speak to the frail Plumkit; yet Plumkit refused to listen to him or even give him any satisfaction of acknowledgement. More than anything, Plumkit desired to be a warrior like that of his parents, Mumblestep and Archshine, however his weak body would only prove to hinder his dreams as he stubbornly tried to cling to the foolish hope of ever becoming a warrior. However, his hope would be soon washed away just as swiftly.

Upon reaching six moons, Plumkit could only watch on in bitterness as his sister; now Starlingpaw would go on to start her journey to becoming a warrior, isolated from Starlingpaw and the group of kits whom had been her close friend group, Plumkit more or less felt abandoned and ignored. Leechmouth had taken notice of Plumkit's downcast attitude and had given Plumkit the option of becoming his apprentice, in which Plumkit venemously refused. The next three moons, Plumkit would be still confined to the medicine cat den, although gradually helping Leechmouth with reluctance in sorting herbs due to not being able to do anything else, in which the question Leechmouth had given him three moons prior had surfaced again. Feeling the pressure of StarClan within his own mind, Plumkit had given up, pushing aside his wish and agreeing to Leechmouth's offer as there was no other option for him as he currently was. He soon became Plumpaw, however his animosity with his sister Starlingpaw wouldn't stop.

Plumpaw and Starlingpaw regarded one another as strangers at this point. Neither of them existed to each other, and they would not regard one another unless they had to. It was obvious that Plumpaw was jealous of his sister's role in the clan, and Starlingpaw seemed to only despise her brother being even near her the more they grew. Lack of communication between them had mostly made their relationship nonexistent until they completely drifted apart, both of them in their own worlds. This behavior continued onward into their latter moons, as Starlingpaw had become Starlingpad and Plumpaw was beginning to grow fully into his medicine cat role.

However, due to his bitterness on his current path despite his close connection with his ancestors and visiting the shining stone with Leechmouth repeatedly, Plumpaw would refuse to commune with StarClan, ignoring their whispers and holding anger at the fact he hadn't been given a choice early in his life. He was becoming a medicine cat that only fulfilled half of his duties through his own childish stubbornness, and this hadn't gone unnoticed by Leechmouth whom only deemed Plumpaw not ready yet for his full medicine cat name despite the young tom being almost twenty-five moons at the time. This of course had caused Plumpaw to become even more so embittered, though forcing himself to hide his anger behind a mask of cheer, the fact that Leechmouth blocked him from gaining a name he thought he was worthy of now was driving him mad.

Leaf-bare would soon come, and with it a horrid bought of greencough, one that Leechmouth would unfortunately die from early on; leaving Plumpaw mentorless and stressed from having to keep up with his clanmates as they began to rapidly fall ill one by one. Being pushed into a corner once more due to his stubborn attitude, Plumpaw soon would have no choice but to finally cave in to the whispers that assaulted him day and night; leaving him once more with facing Leechmouth one final time. His mentor scolded him of course, however with his dead mentor's whispers in his ears and the guidance of his wisdom, Plumpaw had more or less successfully ended the greencough that had fallen upon his clanmates proving he was worthy enough of his name and thus gaining his full name: Plumfeather.

Moons had since passed and Plumfeather more or less had settled fully into his role, although once more returning to his stubborn ways of not communing with his ancestors unless he absolutely has to; desiring to prove himself that he can do things on his own without help from the dead.

personality Proud, self-confident and self sufficient; Starlingpad is the very embodiment of a stubborn, independent nature. Her pride oftentimes leaves her unable to allow herself to ask for any assistance even if she requires it and she refuses to allow herself to appear as weak and feeble. She has confidence in her abilities and will always speak what is on her mind, although when such a thing is necessary. Unlike her brother, she refuses to hide behind a mask and simply shows everything that she may be feeling, regardless on if it may hurt others or not. She can come across as harsh and unforgiving, which due to her rough exterior that may seem to be not too far from the truth but in reality she holds good intentions for the betterment of her clanmates.

Despite being quite proud and almost a bit frigid; Starlingpad does have a gentle heart, one that she perhaps had inherited from her mother and desires more than anything to help her clan and prove her loyalty, to live up to both Mumblestep's and Morniningstar's legacy. However, being a bit too serious with her goals had proven to make her a bit unapproachable and almost lacking in terms of friendliness. Yet, it is merely Starlingpad attempting to be more "mature", striving to be taken seriously instead of being looked at like the obnoxious, immature kit that she had been and the showoff she was during her apprentice moons.

Starlingpad does have one side of her that could be seen as less than desirable, she despises seeing weakness in others as well as herself, something that she had picked up while her kithood with her brother. Nothing sickens her more than seeing a cat groveling for help and being utterly helpless, as her mindset is extremely straightforward and almost cruel, that nature would weed out the weak from the strong naturally, and if one is to die that is simply the way things are meant to be. However, she isn't completely heartless and will do what she can to help, but perhaps in time her mindset will change.

history Born alongside Plumkit a moon after the events of the cataclysm, Starlingkit was the healthy, strong kit out of the two while her brother was weak and sickly. Oftentimes during her kithood, Plumkit would be showered with attention by the other queens due to his weak body while any attention she received was limited and almost non-existent. Soon becoming bitter from all the attention her brother was receiving, Starlingkit being rather popular at the time with the other kits had convinced them to exclude Plumkit from their games (not that he could participate anyways), as well as ignore him. Thus, Starlingkit and Plumkit had started their lack of interaction with one another at a young age.

Her next few moons beginning her apprenticeship were rather normal and uneventful, being apprenticed to a cat named Freckletail, she had eagerly followed every instruction that the tom had given her, although basking underneath his praise had given her more than enough confidence in herself. Granted, being rather immature at the time, she did oftentimes taunt her brother, though blissfully unaware of the envy that Plumpaw at that time felt toward her. Starlingpaw's continued training underneath Freckletail's gentle guidance had steadily trained her into the confident warrior she is now, but during her training under Freckletail, Starlingpaw was falling for the young warrior. Rather immature, yes, however Freckletail had always given her the attention she desired, thus making her immature infatuation for Freckletail grow until during one of her training sessions with Freckletail when they were alone, she had confessed her feelings to him.

Of course, she had been immediately shot down by Freckletail and crushing her heart for the first time. The training sessions became awkward after that, but eventually Starlingpaw had finished her training with Freckletail and becoming Starlingpad. She more or less still felt absolutely mortified over her confession, still harboring feelings for her now former mentor, although she had cast them aside and focused on her new duties as a warrior. Soon however one leaf-bare, greencough had swept in and with it killing Leechmouth, the clan's medicine cat, Freckletail had also died in the early days of the plague. She was devastated, and such devastation had turned to bitter blame as she turned her anger to Plumpaw, her brother having fallen behind on trying to tend to everyone in which her simple grudge against Plumpaw had turned into full hatred.

Moons passed since then, and although her history is rather uneventful, she does still regard Plumfeather with disdain even now due to the grudge she has with him many moons prior although it certainly could be seen as childish, some things Starlingpad simply can't let go, thus making her more or less a stranger to Plumfeather. She simply doesn't feel any pride in him being a medicine cat, nor does she feel any connection with him.
