    [size=11pt]High Position Sign-up[/size]


    This is the place where you apply for high positions within the Spirits. The roleplay won't begin until they are filled, so don't be shy about applying! :)


    This is not first come, first serve. I will wait for other applications to come in, and then I will make my decision.


    The positions currently open are:


    Kami-speaker
    Master guardian
    Master gatherer
    Master caregiver


    -Optional position-


    This position does not need to be filled right away, but you can still apply for it here. If a suitable applicant is not found by the time the roleplay is ready to begin, it will be decided IC-ly.

    Kami-speaker's pupil


    Form


    Since these are HP, show some effort, okay? ;) Your application doesn't have to be a flawless, nine-page masterpiece or anything crazy like that, but at least some effort is good!

  • Username:Darkwatcher
    Cat name:Kin (means 'gold')
    Age: 23 moons
    Position wanted:Kami-speaker
    Appearance:Kin is a dark brown tabby with large, deep gold eyes. He has a long tail and small, neat ears and paws.
    Personality:Kin is very quiet and religious; but he isn't afraid to fight if he has to. He is fiercely protective of kits and sick cats.
    Advanced bio (not required):WIP
    Roleplay sample (minimum of 5 lines):Kin padded out of his den in the fallen log. Thing were fairly quiet, his only patient was a small kitten with a cough. The Kami-speaker sighed; the subject of kits brought him to the subject of a pupil. Perhaps he should go down the creek to the cave, and speak with the Kami on the subject? He shook his head. "No, the Kami shouldn't be bothered about such a trivial subject," Kin murmured to himself. "Still, I wish I had a pupil!"
    Activity level (on a scale of 1-10, and why):8/10, I'm on every day, but not for very long.
    Have you read, or at least skimmed, the Spirit info (religion, territory, etc.)?:Yes
    Other:none

    Cat name: Kiyomi (means "pure / cleansed beauty")
    Age: 21 moons (if Kami-speaker), or 9 moons (if Kami-speaker's pupil)
    Position wanted: Kami-speaker or Kami-speaker's pupil


    Appearance: A very delicate-looking she-cat, Kiyomi has a long-haired base coat of snowy white that fluffs out into a "mane" around her neck. That coat is flecked with colorful shades of cream and gray diluted torbie, making her a soft-on-the-eyes but still extravagant female. Her paws are small, always stepping lightly and with a sort of grace that she has embodied since she was young, with her fur well-groomed and always in line. One of the biggest signs that Kiyomi is under stress is when she stops caring for that impressive pelt of hers, and with white, long fur, it definitely shows.


    Based off of this lovely picture <3


    Personality: Very shy, polite, and straight-laced, Kiyomi has been a fragile-looking kitten ever since she was young. She had few siblings, and what few she did have were far more outgoing and exciteable than Kiyomi ever was. From that young age, she often skirted away from the attentions of other kittens and instead found herself attracted to the past (or current) Kami-speaker's line of work, wishing to care for the injured due to her sensitive empathy, and started to have strange visions that made her believe that it was her duty to follow that path in life. Since then, she made it her goal to become one, and devoted herself entirely to it.


    She is a responsible cat, maybe to a fault. She puts herself last on a long list of priorities, always making sure to consult with the spirits that she considers herself deeply entwined with, and caring for her patients. Part of the reason why she relies so heavily on interaction with the spirits is because she feels distant from other cats, for a reason she doesn't know or understand. Her timidity often interferes with proper interaction, and when in the presence of anyone outside of a business-like matter, her tail lowers to the ground and she finds the first excuse she can to leave and return to her duties.


    Chances are, unless she finds a perfect fit, she will not ever take a mate. Due to her line of work, she considers herself a pure vessel that shouldn't be tainted by "trivial" matters such as that -- while she does sometimes yearn for one, she is always sure to redirect herself.


    Aside from that, I was actually thinking that she could, later on, have a close connection with some sort of Japanese goddess. I know (or, I think?) some cats in CometClan / the Comets / whatever they are now are like, sometimes "possessed" by the Greek gods they worship, which I thought was interesting plot fodder. I don't know if this would be okay, or what goddess she would be connected to, but I thought I'd mention it. I'd love the opportunity to run with something like that. <3


    Advanced bio (not required): I'll wait for approval first ^_^


    Roleplay sample (minimum of 5 lines): I'll give you the last one I wrote. XD


    [size=8]If you'd rather have a sample with the character I'll be making for an HP, I can. I can also write less or more according to the circumstances in the roleplay. ^_^


    Activity level (on a scale of 1-10, and why): 10. I have online school, and so I check the forum more often than I should ^_^; (I WILL be gone next week though -- I have a link explaining in my sig)


    Have you read, or at least skimmed, the Spirit info (religion, territory, etc.)?: You betcha. :3 I will, however, read the entire thing in-depth once I have more time / am back from my break.


    Other: I LOVE this idea. XD No, seriously. I'm a huge Japanese-culture / religion / etc. nerd -- due to the typical reason of loving anime. I'm nuts about this stuff. If I don't get a high position, I'll still join, 'cause I want to be a part of this~


    -waves at Katatonic :D-

  • Username: Frosty-kins~


    Cat name: Origin
    ...I actually named my Sandslash this in my Pokemon game. Why? I have no idea. LOL.


    Age: 37 moons (three years, one moon)


    Position wanted: Master Gatherer


    Appearance: Named for the earth, which is the origin of all that is good and pure in the world to this tom, Origin is a lithe and somewhat lanky tom-cat. A brown tabby, he knows the land and knows how to blend in well with it, his copper-flecked hazel eyes always searching around him for signs of danger. A large, but thin, tom, his fur is short and thin and lies flat on his body, his tail long and almost whip-like, his muscles undeveloped from his lack of training in fighting. Of course, he can, but he's not the best. His strength, as a Gatherer, lies in stealth, hunting, and sniffing out whatever might be around. And his strides, small and light-footed, glide along the ground as if he's one with the earth and the wind, making him a difficult cat to sense.


    Personality: However serious Origin may be about his position, hunting skills and such, he possesses a kind, almost goofy personality and air about him. Possessing a few quirks and an odd sense of humor -- he especially loves the occasional pun! But, then, who doesn't? -- he's a little awkward in conversation, but is still your lovable nice guy despite it all. Sometimes called 'overly energetic,' Origin is quite excitable and loves being able to do something, anything, from Gatherer duties, teaching his Gatherer 'minions,' as he jokingly calls them, or just spending time with a friend or two. He also has this extreme and boundless respect for the earth and all that it gives, from the prey it provides, to the sun that warms them, to the air they breathe, to the water it gives, to the mountains the Spirits call home. He loves all of it, and is thankful for its gifts each and every day. He treats it as kindly as if it were a true living thing, sometimes even going so far as to speak to certain things (which may be a little weird but, hey, he's a little weird, y'know?) like the trees or the prey he hunts.


    There's some trouble involved with this, however. Being so kind, optimistic, he refuses to believe something has gone wrong. He is overly cautious about things and is never one to bound into them, and he honestly has trouble taking a lot of things very seriously. Not that he isn't mature, but he has just accustomed himself so much to things being a joke or something of that nature that he finds it hard to believe otherwise. So if one were to come up to Origin and tell him that something bad has come up, he would almost always think it's a joke at first and that it didn't happen, all while inwardly fretting over if it could be true and denying it with a secret paranoia, but he won't do anything about it until he is made or forced to realize that it's true and something must be done.


    In this regard, he is and can be quite a weak-hearted cat. Many times, he can't accept the truth that the world isn't the wonderful place he makes it out to be, and so tunes out events and cats who don't fit that vision of the world. He is, essentially, a coward putting up a strong front of leadership; he is prudent and wants to do what's best for the Spirits, and so tries to put aside the fear inside of him to do so. It is hard for him to stand up to it and do what is right when he's so scared of what could go wrong or what is already going wrong, however, and thus his near constant hesitation, procrastination to think on the matters if they involve him, or running off to be alone to aid in this thought session.


    Advanced bio (not required): Waiting until approval~ <3


    Roleplay sample (minimum of 5 lines):


    Activity level (on a scale of 1-10, and why): 9; on just about everyday, more or less. I do have college, though, but winter break is here (YAY!), and thus I will be much more active now. :)


    Have you read, or at least skimmed, the Spirit info (religion, territory, etc.)?: Yes! I skimmed it, but I was so excited that I jumped here. >_> I'll read it in-depth when I get the chance.


    Other: AWESOME idea. <3333 I love Japanese culture so much! I'm fascinated by it. And I'm incredibly happy to see something like this! And yay, Katatonic is here~

  • Wow, these WIPs are looking good already! Can't wait to see them finished. ^^

    Roleplay sample (minimum of 5 lines): Ember swivled her head around to the kits. they were busy chasing a white cabbage moth. Ember decided she would catch it and show it's beauty to the kits. She ran caught it. She falttened out her paw for the kits to see. "Cool" chirped a kit. A kit poked at it and it flew away. The kits sighed and ran back in the nursery. Ember looked at the sky and wondered, when would she have kits?
    Activity level (on a scale of 1-10, and why): 8-9, it's getting close to Christmas and I'm a little inactive at the time. Won't be on the 21st of December because, it's my birthday and like many people, won't go on at Christmas

    Cat name: Sin
    Age: 16 moons old
    Position wanted: Master Guardian
    Appearance:


    Personality: To know the personality of Sin, all one has to do is know the meaning of her name. Sin is one of the most heartless, self-oriented cat you'll probably ever meet. How far does her selfishness stretch? Well, let's just say let's just say she'd let a poor and defenseless kit get mauled to death by ravenous animals and actually eat while watching. Just because she doesn't want to get tired. This also insinuates her other flaw: Laziness. Yup, Sin almost never wastes her time doing anything too strenuous or anything that she sees un-enriching. Many animals find her laziness to be a weakness, and it really is. But she always says it saves her from doing anything that is of no gain to her.


    Now Sin has a ridiculously large I.Q of 220. Though it seems impossible for an animal to have an IQ that high, Sin does.(This is thanks to her past). To add to her impressiveness, she has a huge memory capacity and is an incredibly fast learner. With her high level of common sense and ability to spot flaws or weaknesses, Sin is definitely a force to be reckoned with. Ever heard of combat? Sin has mastered almost every technique and is making up new, deadlier techniques of her own. Take note: she will never EVER hesitate to kill if she has to. She is also good in Linguistics and knows how to converse in badger, cat, and bird. Sin was born with a cold demeanor and a poker face, making her seem like a big snob. But she is nothing of the sort. She believes that she still has a lot to learn and never, I repeat, NEVER under or overestimates anyone. Ever.


    She is so cautious towards others, she became somewhat of a loner. But deep within that hard, cold, logical-minded, heart of hers(I mean REALLY deep down there), she longs for someone to love her the way she never got from anybody. The only way she knows how to show her tiny affection is through protecting her clan with fierce loyalty and following the rules. Too shy and cautious of almost everyone, Sin hides what she can really do. So no one knows her true potential. Oh, and one more thing about Sin, she loves(to a somewhat addictive degree) to eat berries.
    Advanced bio (not required):
    Roleplay sample (minimum of 5 lines): Moonlight streaked through the window of a dimly lit room. A shuffling sound indicated the presence of an entity. Its ocean-blue eyes illuminated within the room’s darkness and a small sigh was heard. In the midst of this dark room, the moonlight illuminated a vague figure of a small girl, whose hair shone a beautiful bronze under the moon’s soothing rays. A metallic clink got the girl’s attention, her head swiveling towards a metal door. A dark figure appeared and slowly walked up to the small child. He extended a hand, to which the child eventually gripped. She was led out the dark, cold room and walked down a long and seemingly endless hallway.
    Activity level (on a scale of 1-10, and why): 9-10(I am totally hooked to this website and go on almost everyday for almost 21 hours. At school times, I go online in the eve. But I'm very active.
    Have you read, or at least skimmed, the Spirit info (religion, territory, etc.)?: yes.
    Other: Sin was born into a wealthy and very well-known family. Her parents and their parents were full-blood kittypets and were softer than the softest fluff. But Sin seemed quite different from the rest of her siblings.
    She was provided everything she would ever need. But Sin wasn't like her soft siblings. She hated this soft life. She wanted more. She wanted power. The moment she could walk, Sin dedicated the first two moons of her life practicing her fighting and battling skills. She literally spat on the food given to her on a silver plate and only ate prey she had caught. She was, at least to her family, the black sheep. She didn't care though. She took her family's comments like a grain of salt. One day, Sin was finally able to escape from her home. The next week was heaven to the young kit. She was free to fight, to feel her prey's blood on her pelt. But everything changed when she was caught by some scientist.


    There she spent the next five moons as a test subject, constantly prodded by countless needles and injected by tons of concoctions. They were testing on how to enhance the intelligence, mental and physical capacity of a human by a hundred fold. Not wanting to use a human, they decided to use Sin, who was only a 4 moon old kit. The experiments were a success and her brain capacity increased greatly, not to mention it heightened her fighting and killing skills. (Plus her IQ is verified to be 240) She also learned how to converse in cat, badger and bird. When the experiment had finally become a success, the twolegs set Sin free.

  • Thank you for the application~


    Okay, this announcement is for [b]everyone[/b]. Unless something comes up, I'm planning on choosing HPs on either January 12th or January 13th. It may seem like a long time (feels like it to me, anyway), but I have finals coming up and would rather not start the roleplay when I'm too busy studying to get on. If you have WIP apps, plan on finishing by that date. That is all. :D
