Just creating the character now so this is more of a collection of ideas rather than an actual bio. Will update more later rip

Moon Challenge
A specific plot for each phase of life (baby, child, teen/apprentice, young adult, adult, elder) as well as a theme for each month.
BABY
(0-3 Months)
Leaves City Zoo, meets Krampus briefly during quarantine in Texas. Is in a car crash during transport back to City Zoo and escapes. Ends up in a clan and struggles to fit in and get used to life outside of bars.
CHILD
(3-6 months)
Now that Zosi is not an infant, she is beginning to learn and explore. She will learn about how clans work, her place in the clan, and what is acceptable behavior. As she ages she may notice her differences and may be nervous about fitting in. Loses Jarvis early on.
TEEN
(6-12 months)
Is uncomfortable with not having powers, since everyone around her seems to be special. Wonders about her past and meets with Leia or Krampus. Finds Jarvis, but forgets his name, and calls him Jarvakin instead, but her toy is not what it seems...
YOUNG ADULT
(1-2 years)
Believes that she will never find love because perenties are so rare in the clan lands. Studies the "event", and why some animals are sentient and some aren't, even of the same family. Her studies lead her to strange discoveries, and she gains a single power or mutation.
ADULT
(2-5 years)
Her power or mutation turns out to be a curse from a self-proclaimed diety. Zosi is not religious, and tries to prove that there are no gods. To do so, she devotes herself to studying religion and ends up becoming a priestess. She starts a cult.
ELDER
(5+ years)
THEMES
(numbered by month)
- (before roleplay)
- (before roleplay)
- Arrives at the clan, and tries to learn how to act and keep track of everyone's names.
- Loses Jarvis, and spends the majority of this month searching for him.
- Asks lots of questions about other animals' behavior or appearance, and creates awkward moments.
- Realizes she is a reptile, which is very uncommon in the clan lands. Tries to fit in despite this, and wonders when her fur will grow in.
- Wonders why she doesn't have powers. Interviews everyone with powers to try to find out how they got them, and why she hasn't found hers yet.
- Wonders about her past, and decides she needs to learn about where she is from. Goes back towards the car crash and follows clues until she meets Krampus and Leia.
- Spends the month exploring. Krampus made her uncomfortable, and she wonders if all Perenties are like that, and if she is destined to be like him. Wonders if she is allowed to return.
- Returns home. Tries to return to normal life and find out what she missed.
- Zosi finds Jarvis, but has forgotten his name, so she calls him Jarvakin instead. Is very happy about the discovery, but embarrassed to carry around a toy.
- Jarvakin is not what he seems...
- Reflects on her meeting with Krampus. Wonders if she will ever find a mate, being such a rare species. Has awkward moments trying to flirt, but ultimately gives up on love.
- Reflects on her meeting with Leia, and wonders about sentience in the clan lands. Studies prey, and wonders why even within the same species some are intelligent and some are not.
- Looks back on history and realizes there must have been an event of sorts that caused a sudden switch among certain animals. Investigates more.
- Becomes quite a scholar, and makes some nerd friends from other clans.
- Makes a strange discovery, and gains a power or mutation.
- Struggles to deal with the power or mutation.
- Continues studying the Event.
- Finds out that her power or mutation came from a self-proclaimed deity. Is embarrassed that she even wonders if any religion could be true.
- Devotes to religion to prove to the deity that he is just a normal person

So I was thinking of joining with this character. Can anyone tell me about the overall atmosphere of this group? I mean I can tell it's like your stereotypical anticlan with all the torture and stuff.
I looked at the first page of threads and it was mostly either violent stuff like killing and torturing, or joining threads. Are there usually other types of threads as well, or is most of the character development within the clan revolved around your generic capture/torture/kill stuff?

Tracking :)

Thanks!
Yeah that helps a lot. I just worried that there wouldn't be much room for proper development, but after looking further, I think this will be a good fit for Zosi. :)

The blazing sun beat down on Zosi's back. Her scales were uncomfortably warm at this point, having been wandering through the white desert sands for days now. The perentie monitor was lucky to be a species built for this environment. Even though she was just a baby that had hatched a few months ago, she had managed to make it this far alive. This was an especially impressive feat since poor Zosi had spent her entire life up until the past few days in zoos and cages. Having never been exposed to the real world before, she had no idea how to take care of herself. It was by sheer luck that nobody had eaten her.
Although she had been walking for 3 days now, Zosi was only a few miles from the crash. Some humans were transporting her and some other animals between two zoos after a power outage had left the rest of Zosi's family dead from hypothermia. As a cold blooded animal, perentie monitors need to move between warm and cold spots to stay healthy and regulate their temperatures. But because of the power outage and an unusually cold spell, the other monitors had died from the cold. It was again by sheer luck that Zosi was able to survive just long enough to be rescued by the humans. She spent a couple of months in an intensive care unit of sorts before she was finally given the all clear to be transferred to another zoo. During the transfer, though, the vehicle had crashed. In her last stroke of luck, Zosi had been freed from her captors and flung out into the open desert, where she now wandered hopelessly.
This seems to have been her last ounce of luck, though. Zosi gasped as she stumbled upon the most terrifying thing she had ever seen in her short life: a wall built from piles of corpses and skeletons. The unnatural structure in its odd-ness would be enough to give any zoo-born animal a fright. But this structure was created from death, something that almost all animals could sense. It triggered Zosi's deepest instincts. This was absolutely not a good place. Not at all.
The baby lizard clutched her doll tighter in her jaws. The furby, affectionately named Jarvis after the human that had dropped it into the lizard enclosure nearly 15 years ago, had seen better days. It was torn and tattered after years of snuggles from lonely lizards who had not gotten enough mental stimulation. Now, it accompanied the fourth generation of monitor lizards at the local city zoo. The lone survivor: Zosi Feras.

Zosi was startled by the sudden crowd. She stood up and balanced on her hind legs and tail, something known as tripoding, and clutched Jarvis in her front claws so that she could speak. The Sanguine Ruins, the lizard repeated in her mind. What did those words mean? Was it a place, or the wall of death? Before she could answer cream tabby, others spoke up as well. The feline alone was intimidating enough, let alone everyone else, since Zosi was a bit smaller than Barbara and she had never seen anything other than humans and other reptiles.
The perentie monitor almost lost her balance when she gazed up at the grey wolf, particularly the canine's large teeth. Zosi was mortified. When Chess spoke, it was of an oddly friendly manner. Zosi was only a few months old and hadn't encountered many folks in her lifetime, so this kind of friendliness was not something she had encountered before. This was certainly the strangest thing Zosi had ever seen.
Or so she thought, until her guys finally fell upon the pink Savannah cat. The lizard's jaw dropped, along with the furby she had been clutching. "Whoa." She managed to mutter before recollecting herself and dropping back down to all fours. Zosi had never seen the color pink before, and was absolutely astonished by Whisp.
Absentmindedly, Zosi placed her claws on the furby that was lying in the sand. The monitor had not encountered many dangers before, so she didn't have many fears. What she was afraid of, though, was losing her beloved Jarvis. None of these folks seemed like they would steal her toy, but Zosi wasn't going to take her chances.
She cleared her dry, sandy throat and finally spoke up to answer the equally bewildered strangers. "Hiya..?" Her voice had a thick reptilian accent from being raised around mostly other perentie monitors, and some other lizards and snakes. "I'm Zosssssi. What... What issss thisss place?" She also recalled being asked what she was doing here. To that, she answered: "And uh, golly, I dunno really what I'm doin' here. I was in a big loud vroomy thing, and then BASH! And I wassss in the sssand!" She lifted her front front hands(paws?) wildly for a moment, but quickly brought them back down and placed one on Jarvis. Her recounting of the car crash probably wasn't the best explanation of what happened, but it was all the toddler could do.

That tail! Zosi noted silently. It was beautiful. It looked just like Pidge, one of the lizards at the zoo. Amazing! Zosi couldn’t keep her eyes off of it. But the more she thought of pidge and the zoo, the more she noticed the strangeness of this place, the “Sanguine Ruinhs”. There were no cages, no enclosures, no big metal doors. And no humans. Weird...
But before she could ask any questions, Croc had spoken to her. It would be rude not to answer him. “Oh yessss, big aventah” She chirped with her thick reptilian accent. “Jarvisss and I, we walk long way, lotsss of sssand! He he!” She nudged the furby as she called him Jarvis, implying that it was the toy’s name.
“Oh, Cwoc isss good name, yeah! But, uh, what isss clan? It like zoo?” She paused for a moment and wondered, if this was like a zoo, where everything was. But there was one thing she just had to know. “Cwoc, aw you my momma?!”

Hahaha sure, that'd be a good idea.
