    Hi guys! It is Mistystar. For all of those who are confused, I did not lose a life, I merly inhaled to much smoke, and fainted. I did not lose a life. Oh, and yes, there was a fire. I think that our time to RP is simply after school and on the weekends.
    See you soon,
    Mistystar


    OOC: Oh sorry. I'm a mousebrain. Or Yellowpaw is.


    ...I think I'll blame it on Yellowpaw.
    Also, I tend to be on at weird times. Just warning you.


    IC: Yellowpaw twitched his tail.
    ===
    Birchtail was in the elders' den, complaining about the breeze.

    Tallpaw padded out of the apprentice den. She couldn't wait to go training today!
    ===
    Gullfoot padded in through the camp entrance, a small bird dangling from her jaws. Her orange and white fur was splattered with sand to help her blend in among the dunes while hunting. She dropped the prey on the fresh-kill pile.
    ===
    Crabclaw was on border patrol along the PineClan border.

    [surrendered], what's left of a [hero that was] | rainstorm, riverclan rogue
    [hr]







    Character Name: Rainstorm


    Gender: M


    Clan{if any}: RiverClan None


    Rank(CANNOT be leader, deputy or medicine cat/med apprentice unless you are making up their clan/tribe): Warrior None


    Age: 3 years 6 months as of mid-December 2013
    Double-time until his second (IC) / first (OOC) birthday, real-time afterwards. (Current age: 2 years + time since June 13 2012)


    Appearance(Must look realistic--NO RED EYES!): Dark gray/black spotted-tabby tom, amber eyes
    Genetics Info
    Low-rufus brown spotted mackerel tabby
    Aa (Mcmc, Spsp, rfrf), Bb, Dd, Ll


    Personality:
    Rainpaw is good at remembering battle techniques, but not so great at actually putting them into practice. He's a bit better at hunting but if he gets excited he tends to strike too soon and miss the fish he's trying to catch, or scare off the bird he's stalking. He is most definitely not a morning cat, which tends to annoy his Clanmates.
    Rainpaw believes strongly in the warrior code, especially that cats should stick to their own Clans. That said, he has nothing against halfClan cats themselves - it's their parents' fault, the kits couldn't control who they were born to. He is also devoted to StarClan.
    He thinks hard about things that don't really matter, like why the stars make patterns or why Twolegs are doing whatever weird thing he happens to see them doing. But where RiverClan and the Warrior Code are concerned, he refuses to even contemplate anything that would break the Code or go against his leader's word - very much like Hollyleaf but without the crazy (so far, at least).
    In fact, he left RiverClan rather than live in an anti-Clan ruled by a usurper. However, his faith in StarClan is beginning to be shaken.


    Now that he has been rejected from coming home - the only place he had ever considered home - he is, essentially, a broken cat. He will survive, but nostalgia and regret ahoy. And perhaps he might even become a bitter death seeker...who knows. He won't seek death before its time; he didn't before, and he's sticking to that one principle at least. He won't let himself off that easy.


    Also he doesn't believe in StarClan anymore.


    History:
    Rainpaw's parents are not known to me at this time, as he was created as an apprentice.
    Sister: Lilacsky


    Born June 13, 2011
    Apprenticed September 21, 2011 (slightly late on account of sickness as kit)
    Warrior name received Dec 24, 2011
    (Aged double time until June 13 2012, real-time thereafter)
    Apprentices: Flickerpaw (briefly, thread died), Mossflare (briefly, her previous mentor never responded)


    He formerly trained in the Dark Forest, but they've lost interest in him since he began showing his utter unwillingness to even think about breaking the code.
    He was all for Cougarstar's strict code-enforcement rules while that was a thing -- but when StormClan broke away, he instantly considered those cats foxhearted Clan-traitors. Loyalty should be to the Clan itself above all else; their secession was a betrayal of their own principles, since those laws were intended to safeguard RiverClan.


    When Ragenight announced his takeover of RiverClan and its becoming an anti-Clan, Rainstorm left, as he could not stand to live in a NightClan-worshipping, Code-disregarding anti-Clan with a leader who seized power without StarClan's sanction. He knows this is the coward's way out, but he really wouldn't have a chance fighting Ragenight, and perhaps it would be yet more cowardly to throw his life away and go running to StarClan to be out of it.
    He still considers himself a RiverClan cat, rather than a rogue. He likely always will.


    Flashstep, who befriended Rainstorm prior to his leaving, thinks he's a traitor for abandoning his Clan in its need. (And so the circle comes round again...)


    And now this.

    FANCYPOST & TEMPLATE IS [C] SEMPER - DO NOT COPY OR CLAIM AS OWN!!![/fancypost]

    Character Name: Clayfoot


    Gender: M


    Clan{if any}: RiverClan


    Rank(CANNOT be leader, deputy or medicine cat/med apprentice unless you are making up their clan/tribe): Warrior


    Appearance(Must look realistic--NO RED EYES!): Cinnamon tabby and white patched tom, all four paws nearly-solid cinnamon, green eyes


    Personality: Clayfoot is loyal to his friends and to the code, but he sometimes has trouble deciding which comes first. He prefers patrolling and/or fighting to hunting. He tends to be a bit thoughtless, and often doesn't think before talking. He doesn't think far enough ahead about the results of his actions sometimes, but he means well, and would try to help any Clanmate in need.
    He's fairly young and has yet to have his first apprentice, but he's due for one any day. If he had one the experience might make him a bit less immature.

    Rainpaw, cleaning his paws over to one side, perked his head up. A mentor! He needed one, for sure. He'd been cleaning out the elders' den and fetching queens freshkill for days, he hadn't even gotten to see the territory since he was apprenticed a few sunrises ago.


    The young gray-black tabby tom got up and padded over to Clawface.


    "Could I be your apprentice?" he meowed. He couldn't wait to start training!

    The other apprentice's motion finally dragged Rainpaw reluctantly awake. He was almost sure he'd been having a nice dream, but he couldn't remember it now. Oh well.


    Rainpaw sat up, licking once or twice at his dark-gray-tabby pelt, and looked over to the chocolate-brown apprentice, one of RiverClan's newest.


    "...g'mornin', Dawnpaw," he meowed sleepily.

    Username: Patchtail
    Why you want this training: I want to be able to RP in the advanced boards, but I need to work on post length, and on developing my characters better.
    RPing level (Decide for yourself, how good of an RPer do you think you are from 1 to 10, see guide below): 6 or 7
    Level of training wanted (normal, realistic, battle, literate, or advanced. See guide below.): Advanced
    Other (Optional): I can spell, I use fairly good grammar, and I know the realism rules.

    Could I take Barleywing?


    RP sample: (Does it have to be of me playing Barleywing, or just in general?)
    Newtpaw, medicine apprentice of SpinningGlassClan, was sitting with the other medicine cats. He listened a bit to the leaders' announcements, but it was hard to keep track when there were so many Clans there. Some of the leaders even had the same names, making it extra confusing. I guess it would be common to have leaders with the same name. I mean, when you're a warrior the last part of your name could be anything, but leaders nearly always end in "star", so there's twice as many choices for warriors...or something? He had the feeling it was a lot more than twice, but being a cat he couldn't multiply fractions. He tried counting it out on his paws for a few moments and then gave up, discovering he didn't have enough paws.

    Crabclaw had returned from border patrol in time to hear the discussion.
    "I don't think we should attack PineClan," he mewed. "What if something happened to our territory, like a flood or something? We'd have to shelter on PineClan's territory where there's higher ground. We'd need to be on good terms with them."


    OOC: Sorry I didn't post earlier, your posts all happened a bit after midnight for my time zone, I only saw them this morning.

    "Sure !" Rainpaw meowed excitedly.
    Finally I'll get to be an apprentice for real, not just in name. Thank you, StarClan! And someday, maybe, I'll become a senior warrior, or deputy, or maybe even leader... and I'll look back and say, "All thanks to my awesome mentor," ...uh...
    "Um... what's your name?" the tabby apprentice asked awkwardly.
