Please include the name, what they'll be in the family, clan and rank, species, any other families they are a part of, and anything else you deem necessary

Name: Melody
Relation: Adopted family (can be adopted by anyone, or is just generally considered everyone's "adopted cousin")
Clan: Thunderclan
Rank: Warrior
Species: Verdin (the tiniest species of song bird)
Other families: None
Other: Melody is "mute", but she uses sound manipulation to communicate. However, she doesn't speak; instead, she communicates with music. She also cannot write her own music, but she can perform what others have created for her.

Melody is just a little bird, and although she would never admit it, she is kind of afraid of the clans because most of their members try to hunt birds like her. So I need a little help getting her to join Thunderclan.

She can't speak, at least not directly. She can use sound manipulation to communicate, but only with songs. She also can't write her own songs (but she can sing songs that others have made ICly!)
Since she is just a verdin (a song bird that's like 4 inches long) I was hoping maybe someone could attempt to hunt her, and then she starts screaming in song and startles her attacker so they don't eat her? Then somehow they tell her about Thunderclan and invite her to stay for a little bit while her wounds heal? idk I can mold this teensy plot however you'd guys like

you can use these if you want, but idk how well these will work out lol

my charrie speaks with music so I'm trying to make a fancy post that can have youtube videos in it without taking up a shit ton of space XD

But I didn't want it to take up a ton of space you know? So I made this fancypost and I'm so freaking proud of myself I punched a counter

anyways, can you all test it out on your computers and make sure it works for you? It's working on my side but fancyposts can be kinda weird, especially with margins.

Great, thanks everybody!

Actually, I think I'm going to have her join Sunclan instead, since it seems to be a better fit for her. Sorry!

So I want Melody to join Sunclan, but since she's not a huge fan of clans (being prey and all) I need a little help :)

I was thinking she could be chilling on Sunclan territory, and somebody comes by and hunts her, but when they catch her she starts screaming music and they drop her like "wtf?" and realize she's (probably) sentient, so more like a clan member than prey. Then idk, maybe invite they invite her to stay at Sunclan while she heals from her wounds?

Oh, and Melody is mute. But she communicates by playing music with her sound manipulation. (i.e. if she's hanging out with someone, she might ask them "what you want, what you wanna do" from that one song, ya know?)

Anyways, would anyone be willing to help me out with this?[/fancypost]

Only a few inches in size, she would make a fairly decent meal. She was just sitting on a rock, pecking occasionally at the ground, seemingly oblivious to the world around her. [/fancypost]

She froze in fear as she was pounced on by Mocha. All she saw was a paw pressing down on her. This was it! She was done for!
The tiny bird opened her beak, although she pressed no air out of her longs. Instead, she used her sound manipulation in the only way she knew how: song. She reached into her memories and pulled out some lyrics that she found fitting. In a male voice, she sang as loud as she could: "Baby don't hurt me,
don't hurt me,
no more,"
Proclans, anticlans, they were all the same in Melody's eyes. But in reality, the difference might be what saves her. Anticlans allow, and even encourage, hunting and killing other sentient creatures. Whereas proclanners generally only hunt animals that are not sentient. In other words, proclanners only hunt prey, and prey doesn't speak, read, or write. Melody was probably what one would consider a sentient creature; despite her low intelligence, she is able to communicate (sort of) with others, and showed basic logical tendencies. She prayed that her attacker would realize this, and maybe even let her go.

Hey, I was thinking about having this guy join sunclan, but she's kind of young so would anyone be willing to adopt her / take her under their wing if she joins?

She is basically just a really tiny songbird that only communicates by singing actual song lyrics. I made her on a whim a while ago but never really got to playing her out.

Ah yes mobile corrected it to sunclan lmao

oh dear didn't think she'd get this much attention haha. Well I guess I'll just make a joining thread and see what happens!

edit: having her join in the moving thread instead!

track

track

tracking, because Melody will meet the clan and join them during the move rather than in a joining thread

Melody is basically a very tiny bird that can only communicate with music. So instead of saying "Hello, my name is melody, nice to meet you!" she would have to use song lyrics. For example, she might start out with eminem's The Real Slim Shady: "My name is, my name is, my name is..."

However, she has difficulty switching between songs, so she can't just use two words from one song and one word from another and piece it together like a quilt. At least, not yet.

I need some interaction threads with her so I can practice finding lyrics for her to sing! It can be any kind of thread, it doesn't matter. If you want, we can even come up with some plot ideas, but I'm fine with just generic interaction.

Just click this button:

edit: oops idk why I posted this with my linked acct rather than my main haha

Beautiful work! I may be using these to learn the new codes lol

Definitely using #1 for this guy!
