Rise of the Clans Warrior Cats RPG

Welcome to Rise of the Clans! We are OPEN for new members! RATED PG-16+ We are an LGBTQ+-friendly, plot-driven warrior cats based roleplay,

Welcome to Rise of the Clans (RotC), a fantasy discord-based RPG directly inspired by the warrior cats series created by Erin Hunter.  You are not expected, nor required, to have read any official canon material released to be a part of this group! All lore developed is original, based on the worldbuilding from the canon series.

This group originally started over on deviantart several years ago, as a deviantart and skype hosted RP. Over the years, the group has changed with the times, and was formally rebooted and opened to the group it is today, on August 19th, 2019! With deviantart's recent forced changes, RotC has left deviantart for good, and is now hosted on Discord, with a google website (coming soon!) in tandem.

Rise of the Clans is set in a fictional region in the United States, generally assumed to be located around the Pacific Northwest! As a result, there are a variety of naturally occurring phenomena, such as mountain ranges, lakes, marshes, the ocean, as well as more urban lifestyle, with a city located far away, along the ocean's coast. Weather can be extreme being so close to the ocean, as well as closer to the United State's northern border.

Communities of feral felines have come to dwell in several places across the region. From the city to the mountains, felines live all different walks of life.

There are four Clans that reside besides a lake with territories filled with diverse terrain and foliage, known as WoodClan, ValleyClan, RockClan, and StreamClan. Up within the mountains are a feline community known as Fjell'Byr, who organize themselves into factions to support a united, large population. Outside of these populations are rogues, loners, and kittypets.

This roleplay is plot-driven, both by an overarching groupwide plot, as well as both indirect and direct influences by personal character plots. As a result, roleplay mechanics are always updating and expanding, as members contribute and introduce new canon.  Through group participation to earn group currency, simply called "points", your character can unlock potential plots that can result in permanent, canonizing changes to the roleplay.

We are LGBTQ+ friendly, and encourage character creation from all walks of LGBTQ+ life!

A discord account is required to participate as an active member of this roleplay. All roleplay happens in the official Rise of the Clans discord server.

FJELL'BYR ANATOMY - RISE OF THE CLANS

Deep within the mountains, where the frigid cold wind chills every living creature to their very bones, live a feline community known as the Fjell'byr, who call themselves the Fjell...

BASIC LORE/SPECIES INFO

The Fjell are a unique feline hybrid mix of the short/longhair feral cat, and lynxes. They live within the mountainous range above the Clans of the Lake, their incredibly thick pelts allowing them to thrive in such a cold environment. Due to how long and thick their pelts can grow, Fjell cannot survive the Greenleaf of the Clans - they are in danger of heat stroke.

IMPORTANT ANATOMY NOTES

OVERALL APPEARANCE:

1. The fjell display a range of phenotypes in overall appearance, from pure shorthair feral cat (top left image), to a visual mix of a cat and lynx (top right image). They can display a mix and variety of trait combinations appearing above: for example, they could have the build of a feral cat, but the large hybrid head shape, muzzle, and ear length of the hybrid. Another example is having the large paws and long legs, but a feral cat face shape, muzzle size, and ear shape. The range of combinations / visual appearance between the left and right images is essentially limitless.

2. They are on average larger than the feral cat: at maximum height, they stand at 16 inches tall at the shoulder, and with the purchase of oversized, they can be at maximum 17 inches tall at the shoulder.

3. Their legs are much longer, more lean, and less rounded than feral cats. They possess larger claws as well.

4. Their paws are much larger, flatter, and less rounded than feral cats, to allow them ease with climbing such steep, rocky, uneven terrain.

5. A feral cat's spine slopes upwards, in contrats to the fjell, whose spine actually dips ever so slightly.

6. The feral cat's torso is much longer than the hybrid - a fjell will have a stockier, more "rectangular-shaped" torso, comparably shorter in overall length.

7. Their tails are much shorter than a feral cat's - they tend to on average be half the length as a feral cat's tail.

FUR LENGTH:

1. The fjell can range from shorter fur like the image on the left, due to having a different, thicker fur texture that is noticeable in touch, or can possess fur as long as the bottom right image. It's more common to possess long fur than short.

2. The fjell are the only cats who can slightly break the "hair" tuft length rule only - eyes may be partially hidden / covered, but please note: the eyes cannot ever be completely obscured/hidden. You could consider the bottom right image as an example of this maximum "hair" tuft length, with consideration to style flexibility.

FACE TRAITS:

1. The fjell possess larger, longer muzzles than feral cats.

2. Their ears are larger, and much more pointed than feral cats. Feral cats have more rounded ears in shape.

3. Their pupils are naturally round and large, but can constrict like a feral cat's into slits.

4. The face shape is far more angular, and overall larger, then the feral cat's.

VALLEYCLAN - RISE OF THE CLANS

OVERVIEW

Living underneath the sun and sleeping underneath the stars, ValleyClan sees the world at its best and worst. Their lands are as vast and free as they come, with rolling hills and fields of flowers. ValleyClan is known for their 'get up and go' personalities, loving exercise and running through their beautiful land. Their specialty ranks of choice, the Sentinels and the Guardians, are trained to guard and keep watch from any incoming threats.

TERRITORY

The territory is characterized by large hills. The ground underpaw is half grass, half dirt and sand. The grass varies in length, from dense tall grass to large patches of short but soft grass. Sparse bushes dot the territory; anything larger in vegetation is rare. There are very few trees, save along the borders; any few trees found among the sloping hills are long dead. Out of all the territories, this territory has the most interaction with Twolegs. From a fully functional farm to remnants of past farming attempts, these cats are no strangers to the ways of these strange creatures. The main prey here are rabbits, pheasants, and very rarely, hawks. The main predators that can be found here are coyotes, badgers, and the occasional fox or large bird of prey. The cats that live here are wiry and typically brown-colored, to blend in with their territory.

DAILY LIFE

Having no tree cover, ValleyClan members are typically early birds: they get up at the crack of dawn! These cats typically use phrases that associate with the farm close by; examples of phrases include "soft as a sheep's pelt," "cow dung," and "A rooster's flight away." ValleyClan members have a slight advantage to running then other Clans, due to their wiry builds: they are built for speed. As a result, kits love to play tag and chase one another for games; this love of running continues into warriorhood. Warriors often challenge each other to races for fun, though these competitions can get heated easily for bragging rights. As the competition gets more serious, it's not uncommon to barter prey, and even morning patrol shifts.

SPECIALTY RANKS

Following the invasion of the Pack in ValleyClan’s territory, the new leader, Lilystar, and her deputy instated two new ranks in an effort to keep the fragile Clan sage from future threats. These ranks are the Guardian and the Sentinel. The Guardians act as ValleyClan’s first line of defense, and are set to patrol the perimeter closest to camp. Cats who decide to step into this position must be adept in all sorts of fighting styles. The Sentinels are regarded as the eyes and ears of ValleyClan. They patrol the outskirts of ValleyClan’s territory and report signs of oncoming danger to the Guardians. Sentinels are expected to be quick, prioritising speed over strength in order to be a carrier of information. A cat can begin training underneath the Guardians and Sentinels after completing their Warrior’s training. 

ROCKCLAN - RISE OF THE CLANS

OVERVIEW

RockClan is most known for their resillience in the face of adversity. Their lifestyle -- living in the depths of boulders and mountainous lands -- is a life that only the strongest can truly thrive in. To water down RockClan to simply tough is a disservice to the family that makes up this Clan. As close as they come, RockClan warriors would do whatever it takes to defend their home. Their land is carefully guarded by their Sentries, cats who are trained to watch and survey for potential threats. 

TERRITORY

RockClan's territory is by far the most perilous territory to live in- the territory consists of very mountain-like terrain, complete with large boulders and douglas fir trees. Mudslides and rock slides occur frequently, and it's very hard to traverse the territory. As a result, RockClan warriors are some of the toughest cats you're ever going to meet. RockClan warriors have paw pads that're tougher than hide and are very muscular, making any sort of climbing in this territory a breeze. The main prey found here are voles, moles, shrews, and occasionally an adder or an armadillo. The main predators found here are large birds of prey, coyotes, foxes, and large venomous snakes.

DAILY LIFE

RockClan like to keep up a profile of extremely tough cats. To help keep this image, it's a common bonding activity on patrol to sharpen one's claws on the rocks along the border, for the other clans to see. Whoever makes the largest scratch marks gets bragging rights, and gets to lead the rest of the patrol. From a young age, kits will challenge one another to see who can push the biggest rock in camp. This continues as a competitive activity into warriorhood; this can be dangerous, and has led to injuries, so it is frowned upon by senior warriors and leadership positions. Despite this gruff and tough outward appearance, RockClan is actually very easy going with one another and truly care about each other. They are extremely loyal, and will put aside personal differences to defend their Clanmate from outside trouble. Once a RockClan cat, always a RockClan cat.

SPECIALTY RANKS

With the uptick in trouble caused by rogue and forces unknown to the Clans, the leadership of RockClan decided that it was time for a specialized role in keeping a watchful eye out for the Clan. Sentries are a rank that specialize in surveillance and dexterity. They are expected to hone their climbing skills to perfection to effortlessly scale the mountainous terrain of RockClan. They are typically stationed at high vantage points such as trees and boulders both solo and with their fellow Sentries for day and night patrols. They are known to work closely with the Deputy, keeping them updated with anything concerning or notable they may have seen on their patrols. A cat can begin training underneath the Sentries after completing their Warrior’s training.
