    Written Description;; Nightwind is a tom with long, pure black fur that is silky-soft to the touch. His eyes are a light shade of amber, a hue reminiscent of the early morning sunrise. He's a bit larger than some toms, but by no means a hulking giant; he has lanky legs packed with muscle ending in big, wide paws tipped with ivory claws. Nightwind's face is triangular, tapering down to a long muzzle framed by strong cheeks and a nose as black as night. This tom stands out in a crowd due to his height, and even more so because he constantly keeps his pitch-black pelt groomed to perfection, a girlish-habit his friends and family affectionately tease him about.


    Personality;; Nightwind is a stoic tom, a cat all about keeping up a positive appearance in order to be taken seriously by his peers. Even as a kit, Nightwind put it upon himself to act much more mature and stern than was expected of a cat his age. This behavior was highly influenced by his late mother, Blacktalon. With such a way of life drilled into his head from an early age, many CreekClan cats have never seen Nightwind let loose or break from his stone-like, calm exterior. However, Nightwind's best of friends know his true nature: fun loving and sarcastic, quick to crack jokes or tease others. Only when alone with those he's closest to will his walls come down.


    Naturally tall and strong, few things challenged Nightwind as he grew up, especially through his apprenticeship. He began to develop a fair amount of confidence, but was reminded often enough - either from his mentor or through varying experiences - to keep from getting arrogant. Still, there are few, if any, challenges Nightwind will back down from. He is a very family oriented cat, and nothing can stop him from protecting his loved ones.


    History;; Nightwind's mother, Blacktalon, was a great and ambitious warrior. Her talents made her arrogant, and she expected she would be made deputy, so in order to impress her leader, she convinced a tom of CreekClan to give her kits - Blacktalon never revealed the tom's identity, nor did the tom ever step forward to claim Nightwind and his siblings as his own. Blacktalon raised her kits strictly, instilling in them perfect manners, the importance of keeping a level head, and how to maintain a professional, skilled air. Blacktalon supervised Nightwind and his siblings like a hawk, never allowing them to play for extended periods of time or sneak out of the nursery to cause trouble in camp. She meant to transform her children into perfect warriors.
    Once Nightwind was granted his apprentice name, the helicopter parenting he received from his mother lessened simply because his mother couldn't always be by his side, but by then it was too late. Nightwind was already twice as mature as most apprentices his age, a stone-cold, nearly emotionless machine going through the motions of learning to hunt and fight.


    It was only after Blacktalon's death at the hands of a heavily flooded river did Nightwind learn how to be himself. He was still very calm and collected, never letting his frustrations or anger show, but the young tom began to figure out how to have fun and love, rather than simply reciprocate kindness because it was expected of him.


    At the age of 13 moons, Nightwind earned his warrior name, and has been enjoying the freedom of his promotion ever since. Since his emotional growth was stunted by his mother, he's still learning some social cues and can be a little awkward. He's not used to brazen, passionate displays of emotions and struggles to react accordingly to some, but he tries, and his heart is in the right place. It takes Nightwind some time to put his feelings into words and actions, but once he does, one will fail to find a cat more devoted.

    Likes;; running and racing, exploration, thunderstorms, the smell of mint, & any ground prey

    Talents;; running, remaining calm under pressure, responsibility


    Strengths;; his speed and strength, intelligent and analytical, sincere


    Weakness;; socially awkward, overtly righteous (struggles to see shades of gray in situations he deems black vs white, wrong vs right), slightly selfish[/fancypost]

    Username;; Irondirewolf


    Screen-Name;; [color=peachpuff]Irondirewolf - call me Iron! c:


    Activity Level;; [color=peachpuff]8/10, full time student but my favorite procrastination/relaxation technique is roleplaying!


    Muse Level;; [color=peachpuff]8/10, this dude is a revamped character of mine that i haven't been able to use in awhile, so i'm excited for that!


    Other;; [color=peachpuff]i was thinking maybe Nightwind and Lionstorm could be cousins? (Nightwind's momma was the sibling to one of Lion's parents), so during the tail-end of their apprenticeship they started to become friends as well? obv not as close as Forest and Lion, but friends nonetheless. i can see Nightwind giving Lion all sorts of trouble over his flirtatious ways. xD[/fancypost]

    noticed you were asking about plot ideas earlier - perhaps once the group finds JayClan and forestpaw mentions she's been sent by starclan to bring them back, the leader or some rebelling/angry JayClan cats kidnap her and hold her hostage as revenge for creekclan refusing to help them in their original time of need? or the rogues she sees jayclan's leader fighting in her dreams kidnap her? c:

    i've been obsessively checking for replies to this thread multiple times a day for the past few days, so it's safe to say i haven't lost interest. XD
    would you perhaps be open to beginning the rp soon? maybe we could just do some introductory stuff until you're ready to kick off the plot heavy bits. only offering that suggestion since it seems like the person interested in the navigator position still hasn't completed their form?

    Nightwind always enjoyed it when CreekClan's leader called a meeting; normally, it meant something exciting was about to happen, like kits gaining their -paws and mentors, or an apprentice joining the ranks of the Clan's strongest and most valiant warriors after moons and moons of training. This day would prove to be no different, it seemed, and for whatever reason, Nightwind had decided to claim a spot as close to the front of the crowd of gathered CreekClan cats as he could.
    The tall black tom sat calmly in the second row, after having his ears cuffed by a warrior more than twice his age - he was too much of a giant to be sitting too close, he was blocking the view! - the warrior had hissed, half frustrated and half teasing, but before Nightwind could remedy the situation, Russetstar had begun speaking.




    The announcement was brief but precise, with Forestpaw, Russetstar's only daughter, being quickly identified as the cat in the spotlight. Nightwind's pale amber gaze flickered over to the calico she-cat for a short moment, wondering just what was going on. Leader's kin or not, it was still too early for the apprentice to be gaining her warrior name. Was she being punished for something, then?
    But Russetstar quickly put that thought of his to rest, and even the normally strictly composed Nightwind couldn't help but gasp quietly in surprise, the sound of his shock thankfully drowned out by those of his Clanmates. It was rare that StarClan walked in the dreams of cats other than medicine cats, but it did happen, Nightwind knew. Sometimes the Clan leaders would be blessed with visits in their sleep...but an apprentice?




    The black tom's gaze flickered from Russetstar, to Forestpaw, then back again as he tried to comprehend the weight of what his leader was saying. Before it could all sink in, he was hit with another surprise: he would be travelling with Forestpaw far beyond their borders in search of answers for his daughter's dream.
    It seemed a joke, but once the crowd of gathered cats started to disperse, reality set in for Nightwind. Some of his Clanmates approached him to offer their congratulations for being chosen for such an exciting, important journey. The young warrior heard himself politely thank them, but couldn't believe it was his own tongue and maw forming the words; Nightwind moved forward, his broad shoulders easily cutting through the crowd until he stood before a familiar mass of fur, his cousin and friend, Lionstorm, who had also been picked to go on the journey.




    "He can't be serious, can he?" Nightwind whispered quietly, a tone of utter disbelief creeping into his voice. "Surely Russetstar's made a mistake; why would he pick us to go on such an important journey with his own daughter? Wouldn't older, more experienced warriors make more sense?"




    Nightwind glanced towards Russetstar and Forestpaw where they stood not too far away. The magnificent red tom seemed to be offering words of encouragement to his daughter, and Nightwind couldn't help but overhear the last few: "You and everyone else, come home safe."
    A thick lump had suddenly found its way into Nightwind's throat, and he discreetly, painfully, swallowed it down. Oh StarClan, what exactly had he just gotten himself into?

    apologies if this the the wrong board to seek out people seeking advanced warriors rp, i'm a bit new here. xD


    but yeah. hi, my name's iron and i'm looking to create an advanced, traditional to mildly fantasy based warriors rp on the fan clan boards, as there's not many, if any advanced groups there.


    i'm on the fence about setting/location. i've basically got one entire clan and territory planned out that's alaska based here:


    but meh, forests are kinda overdone and pretty heavily represented right now anyway, it seems.


    so the other option i was considering would be a desert location. perhaps based in the baja desert of california/mexico, so the ocean to the west could be incorporated as well??
    could use the ranking system i've outlined above for the desert clan, or something entirely different.


    i'm also open to considering some fantasy elements here. basically anything except winged cats because that seems kinda weird to me. /shrugs


    ANYWAY. if anyone's interested, i'd love to plot stuff. can be on the boards, open to all, or private rp, i'm open to whatever. C:
