[OOC] WARRIORS: TRIBAL (Act 1)

[Marlowe]

Hmmm. Are you guys all waiting on me?

[Jeep Wrangler]

@AmbraI'm waiting on myself.

[Ladypug]

I could post a proper Rootfur intro, but idk if there's any AshTribe warriors at the border (Mossy Stones) and I'm hesitant to just ASSUME there are... :U

[Jeep Wrangler]

@ADParisI'd check with Smoke and Vashonn, I've been away for a few days so I'm not fully up to date with the planning

[Vashonn]

@Ambra not necessarily; though Flamestorm and Nightpaw will probably encounter something particularly nasty as they work their way out toward the Crooked Tree, which is important to take care of! Otherwise, there's a feisty feline about to nab Iceheart's breakfast, if I remember correctly ;D

@ADParis@1Hawkeyes Well, there might be a small border patrol out near the Mossy Stones, if you guys get there in time!

WhiteKit

WaveTribe

Appearance

Though she pretends that the notch in her ear was from a fierce scuffle, WhiteKit actually received it from one of her siblings while they were still at the teat.

Name
WhiteKit > WhiteNose

Age/Rank
4 moons - Kit

Size
Currently Small, will grow to be Huge.
Fluffball.

Mother
Sootbelly

Background
Despite her large appearance, WhiteKit is the runt of her mother's litter. When they were a little under 2 full moons old, Sootbelly took her five kittens to the Elder's Den to learn of their tribe's vast history. While her siblings were generally disinterested and preferred to play, WhiteKit sat closest to Ringtail, eager to hear more.

Since that day, WhiteKit recoiled from playing with her fellow kit to instead trek to the Elder's Den to bask in more of her elder's wisdom.

Personality
Even for a kitten, WhiteKit is a naturally curious cat. Instead of playing with her fellow kits, WhiteKit prefers to fill her head with knowledge and wisdom. Over time, she has developed a general preference for the company of older cats, as she'd prefer to talk over play.

Upon first hearing of the stories of the Shaman, WhiteKit discovered a desire to become one, and so is saddened by the fact that she cannot.

NPC: Sootbelly

Kits:

NPC: ShadowKit (better known as "Soot-Sleeper")

First-born, male.
Will grow to be ShadowMask.
Nickname comes from his black chest, belly, and tail.

NPC: SmokeKit

Second-born, female
Will grow to be Smokeback

NPC: Skunk-Kit (S.K. for short)

Third-born, male.
Hates his cruel name.
Will grow up to be "Skunkback"

NPC: Quasi

Fourth-born, male.
Was only born with one eye, earning his name.

@Emuxe

I'm not quite sure about your fourth-born - the name Quasi seems a bit strange. Also, if you could write a short sentence for each of your NPC's personalities, that would be much appreciated (I completely forgot to mention that earlier, sorry!). Other than that, I'd say everything checks out!

[Marlowe]

I'll wait for Lyra before I post. :)

[Ladypug]

@Vashonn Am I ok to just kinda make up a couple of NPCs for AshTribe for my post? Was gonna have Rootfur encounter an AshTribe patrol. Dunno the outcome of it yet, I'll figure that out as I write. :P

Also I'm sorry for my lack of activity, I've been seriously scatterbrained and just.. oof. xD

[Jeep Wrangler]

I'm still trying to post, but my week if exams is delaying me big time

@ADParis

Sorry for the late reply! Been tryin' to figure out a way to answer this. You can go ahead and come up with a single NPC to interact with for Rootfur's introduction, but I was also hopin' I could have Rosepaw and Torncoat interact with your group as well. Perhaps the NPC you interact with could be a member of Torncoat's party?

I'll try and get an IC up tonight replying to @sMoKe, as well as a quick OOC update!

[1Hawkeyes]

Sorry for my inactivity everyone! I didn't know I wouldn't be as available lately. As of the month of March I'm not gonna be so active. I'll try and get a post up today. Sorry for being so noobish.

[Vashonn]

Alright! Update first, then IC later, because I said!

Update!

I figured this is a bit of an important thingy! Since tasks are going to be pretty general throughout the RP, we figured it'd be useful to create a sort of outline-esque thing that you could all look over for when you have to write for a certain task! It isn't anything too major; just a brief synopsis of each task, and a short description of what you can do for when you're writing for it! It obviously isn't complete, and we'll gradually be adding more tasks to the list as the RP progresses, but here's everything that you'd need to know, as of now!

Types of Tasks

Types of Tasks

---

Border Patrol

Assigned each morning, the selected cats have the important role to patrol whichever border they were given, marking the territory and looking out for any opposing Tribe cats. Oftentimes, some sort of interesting event will occur, but not for every patrol.

Most of the time, when your cat is sent out on a border patrol, one of the GMs will be setting up some sort of plot for you to interact with, and move the story forward. It is also possible for player-made events* to occur here, if they have been approved of by the GM team.

Hunting Party

A detrimental role for the survival of the Tribe, cats who are assigned to a hunting party have the harrowing duty of catching prey for their Tribe. Most of the time, the cats involved will have an easy time of doing this, though there are occasional events that could pop up depending on the location your cat is in.

When one of your cats is assigned to the hunting party, what happens to the cat is completely in your hands! Feel free to write about the hunt - was it particularly difficult? How many rats did you catch? The results are entirely up to you (within reason, of course!). If you've been assigned with another character's feline, feel free to have some dialogue go on between the cats!

Spotters & Removers (WaveTribe only)

Recently, WaveTribe has been dealing with a large amount of adders slithering around the southern forests, and it is up to the spotters and removers to deal with them. This task isn't assigned every day, but it is still an important role to ensure the safety of fellow Warriors and the camp.

When assigned as a spotter, it is the cats in this party that must go to certain regions of the territory to find and take out a particularly large adder, though there are occasionally two. Be sure to elicit caution; the snake you're often after is extremely dangerous and should be handled with care.

As a remover, it is your job to hunt down and eliminate a nearby snake's den, oftentimes filled with several smaller adders to deal with. This party is typically larger than the spotter party, and the spotters will join the removers to take out the nest after they have finished off the greater threat.

---

*^{: Player-made events are still very much a concept in the works, but more information will be given out as it becomes available, and as I'm willing to release it :P you can go ahead and use this as an excuse to start brainstormin' your own stories, though, if you so desire!}

Like I said, this is still a work in progress, though I doubt there'll be a whole lot more added in the grand scheme of things, other than a few other Tribe-specific tasks. If anyone has any questions, still feel free to ask!

[Jeep Wrangler]

I'm still in exam week, so we'll get that out of the way so I can post (Which'll likely be Sunday, but if I have time tomorrow I'll get a quick one out)

[XxLyraxX]

I am back and will get a post up once I read up on everything that's happened in the IC

Quick update for everybody! Life's bein' hectic for me at the moment - as it seems to do when other plans are made - and I'm going to have a hard time being active for a couple of days. I should be available a bit this weekend, especially on Saturday, and be able to move things forward before next week begins. Until then, I leave the control of this vessel to the conjoined forces of @sMoKe and @LetMeDoStuff. May God help us all.

Thanks for understanding, everyone!!

@Vashonn

I hate to disappoint you, but I'm gonna be inactive until Saturday evening because of Mock Exams, but I'll check in if I can.

God we are terrible GMs.

[Ladypug]

Hoping that my post doesn't throw a wrench into anything. Just felt like I needed to get my damn post out already.

ouo''''

[Marlowe]

So...

I'm not sure what to do. Lyra seems to have poofed, and Wolfmask and everyone else is stuck. :(

EDIT: Oh, so Lyra is back after all. What should I do then? Just have Flamestorm and Nightpaw meet up with whoever? (still a little confuzzled on that).

@Ambra

Most likely your suggestion. I am still away from access to this site almost ALL the time atm. I apologise for the shitty scheduling I have.

[sMoKe]

I've been semi-away for a bit, but I'll read over everything and respond today.
Wait I'm the only present GM now? Time to make some changes...
