here is where you will construct your characters. please remember to create your character biography with your ooc account. within this board will be a profile skeleton to fill out. it is important to consult banned and encouraged character prior to construction. upon acceptance, the biography will be moved to the appropriate board and you may begin role-play!

once your character's biography has been reviewed and approved it will be placed here in the appropriate sub-boards. after your character has been accepted, then you are free to make their character account.

this board is entirely organization and additional information not found in the information board. here is where you will find all the clan stats, mentor and apprentice pairings, the member directory, et cetera. this board will keep the site organized, as well as keep you informed - these indexes will be referred to when constructing bans or encouraged characters.

here is where you will stick your plotters. they are great for creating character interactions and forming interesting dynamics that might not have otherwise come to be. get creative, be extreme, and most importantly have fun! do whatever it is you do that sparks that muse ignites those posts.

have no muse for an already created character but can't kill them off? adopt them out! looking for someone to play that lovely mate, or darling family? here is the place to be!

this board is exactly what you choose to make of it. this is your own personal space, where you can keep your thoughts organized, and better develop your characters however you see fit. just request a staff member to make you a sub-board and the space is yours to do what you will!

under the cover of the towering trees, their leaves showering over the camp in dapples of emerald green, within the heart of thunderclan territory resides the camp. great towering walls circle the camp, lined at the top with bramble shrubs. a slight crumble of rocks lead up to a hallowed den, marking the leaders den, and the source of clan meetings. the camp with well protected, nestled into the far reaches of the forest, the gorse tunnel is the main entrance, leading up into thunderclan territory beyond.

thunderclan territory is usually rich with prey and shelter. their warriors have mastered the skill of moving through the undergrowth almost completely silently, some cats feel unease, not being able to sleep directly under the stars, just as thunderclanners feel unease in the wide open moors. they are very adapted to their territory, though they still suffer harsh leaf bares, life is sustainable in the thick woods. thunderclan territory includes settings such as the half bridge, twoleg path, clearing, ancient oak, old thunderpath, and abandoned twoleg nest.

surrounded by the tall pines, the shadowclan camp is sheltered in shadows. the pines are a great light barrier, shade isn't hard to find here, though as the story says, the pines to little hope to the harsh winds blowing across their territory. shadowclan's camp is sheltered near the heart of the territory, dens nestled into clumps of ferns. the leader may address his or her clan at a low charcoal black rock. this also acts as the leaders den, nestled between the rock and the camp barrier, brambles are thinly lined to make a shelter from rain and snow.

lying across the twoleg path from thunderclan territory, shadowclan's territory fades from the warm greens of thunderclan forest to the dark pines known to be shadowclan's claimed land. the land if marshy, some places are known to be sloppy and muddy, other parts of the territory are known to have a harder ground, great for battle training. dead pine needles shower the cold earth, to shadowclan cats, this is great comfort, soft to the touch. to outsiders unfamiliar and unused to the territory, the pine needles are horrid.

riverclan camp is sheltered near the rear of riverclan territory. they are well sheltered, little threats are posed from other clans within riverclan territory, raiding clans must first surpass the river or stream, a challenge for any warrior outside of riverclan. their camp is on drier ground, per say to the rest of their territory. dens are sheltered in ferns, nests lined of moss and soft feather. riverclanners are all for shiny and pretty things, shells and such decorate their dens. the leader may call his or her own clan together at the barren tree. a tall tree looms toward the western edge of the clearing, stripped of it's bark. the leader may perch on the lowest hanging branch, a few tail lengths from the ground.

riverclan territory is lush in prey, almost during all seasons. it is richest in the warm seasons, but even when the cold seasons drive in, riverclan are generally pretty well off. unless the river is frozen over, fish are available almost all of the time. the ground is moist and muddy, especially by the river and in newleaf. riverclanners are expert at swimming, and they use this to their advantage. the many reeds are great places for water vole and such, learn how to swim, and Riverclan is a superb territory.

windclan camp. windclan camp lies in the heart of their territory, unlike thunderclan or shadowclan, trees are scarce, providing little protection against the harsh winds. at first glance, it's a marvel at windclan camp, the rolling hills of the moors are like any other, but windclan camp, it's as though a very warrior from starclan scooped out a massive paw full of the earth. the earth dips down into a hollow, resting within this hollow are the windclan warriors. even though the camp provides little shelter, there are patches of heather, the most sheltered spots being given to the nursery and elders. the leader calls his or her clan at the high mound, a small rise in the clearing for the leader to address. his or her den resides beside it in a woven patch of heather.

windclan territory. the land of the moors. their territory consists of pretty much the rolling hills of springy grass. trees are scarce, the odd boulder scatters the land, the odd badger den. but at first glance, windclan looks barren, especially in leaf bare. the land is deterring, just a blanket of forbidding white snow. windclan is mains abundant in hares/rabbits as their dominant food source. of course, you may find mice, birds, etc.

this stretch of thunderpath makes up the border between thunderclan and shadowclan. the thunderpath makes up a natural border between the two clans and crossing it comes with a great risk - the monsters that tread upon it. regardless, each clan is vigilant about maintaining fresh scent markers.

there is a small section of land, where two thunderpaths meet, where one clan sits kitty-corner to the other. while there isn't much overlap where the two clans intersect, each is vigilant about maintaining the scents and making sure that neither clan hops the thunderclan to extend their territory toward mothermouth.

this border is especially treacherous for both clans alike, where the water from the river has eaten away at the earth to create steep cliffside banks. the water below is especially turbulent here and the fate of all those who have fallen in is expected to be rather grim. one best be an excellent swimmer, should they be able to make it onto the rocky banks before plunging over the waterfall's edge to the southeast.

this is one of the most contended borders in the forest - a point where the rough waters of the river soothes into a gentle ebb. it is here that marks the border between thunderclan and riverclan. confrontations and battles over the desirable sunningrocks is not uncommon here.

fourtrees is where the clans gather every full moon to share the news of the previous month. during this time, peace is sacred. there is to be no fighting during gatherings. fourtrees is not claimed by any single clan and is considered neutral.

this land is located beyond windclan and shadowclan territories, and is home to mothermouth which rests at the breech of the mountains, where the great stones rise from the earth. mothermouth is where the stone splits open to a series of maze-like tunnels, allowing those into a brilliant cave within. leaders come to the moonstone to receive their nine lives while the medicine cats gather here once a moon to communicate with starclan.

the twoleg place is a nightmare to the forest cats, but a sanctuary to kittypets. the land is rich with monsters and twolegs. clan cats are on high alert in this area, kittypets are at ease, aside from the common dog or monster. this place mostly holds the kittypet, though you'll see the odd loner wondering the ally ways.

loner territory. this is a place unclaimed by any clans or twolegs. this is a place abundant with loners and rogues, here they may roam freely without the threat of the upwalkers or clans. though, like the rest of the forest, it has it's draw backs in leaf bare.
