ok yay

anyways, leoparddragon when is lynxpaw gonna be a warrior? just want a headsup

[LeopardDragon]

Probably not for a while... she is only six moons, so... just thinking ahead is al. Looking at the ideas, i sorta like Lynxfire, Lynxshadow and and maybe Lynxnose... Lynxshadow has a nice ring to it... cause she kinda is a stealthy-footed shadow!

Edited August 19, 2011 by LeopardDragon

[TwilightMoonDragon]

Lynxnose, Lynxfur, Lynxdapple, Lynxstrike, Lynxblaze, Lynxfeather, Lynxheart, Lynxcloud, Lynxstripe, Lynxwhisker...

[dragcave:D]

ahh ok

Lynxfire, Lynxthorn, Lynxheart, Lynxshadow and some new ones

Lynxpelt, Lynxwing, Lynxflower,

i got ninja'd by TMD for two of the names

Edited August 19, 2011 by dragcave:D

[LeopardDragon]

What do you think TMD? You are Rping the leader of Thunderclan, and I think they traditionally get to give out the names to the new warriors... so which do you think suites her?

[TwilightMoonDragon]

Lynxstorm is great too. I came up with Lynxnose because Lynxpaw is said to have a sharp sense of smell, right? :>

[LeopardDragon]

Alrighty... Lynxstorm it will be then!

[TwilightMoonDragon]

The leaders picking names sounds great. In another RP they asked the players for the names. But the players asking the RPers of leaders for names sounds better.

[Kokay]

I thought Lynxear was a good one... So, fights etc. How are we going to go about it? Everyone RPs it differently, so I was wondering how to RP it here. Seeing as Yew and Yellowpath will almost definitely cross paths

[LeopardDragon]

Good question, actually... sooner or later there is bound to be trouble.

[TwilightMoonDragon]

Here's an example. Yellowpath and Yewberry meet in a border squabble. "Yellowpath aimed to rake his claws across Yewberry's side." "Yewberry dodged the attack and aimed to tackle Yellowpath to the ground." "Yellowpath felt his breath come out when he was tackled to the ground." So, in another terms, you can aim to hit; no auto hits, kay? :3

[Chicogal]

I was accepted! =]

 

Username: Chicogal

Name: Shinepaw

Clan: Riverclan

Gender: Female

Age: 8 moons

Position: Apprentice

Appearance: Shinepaw has a black-and-white coloured coat. It is mostly quite evenly spread out. Her eyes are blue in colour, quite a light shade. Her tail is longer than the usual for a cat, and her paws small. She is more skinny and dainty than athletic, which is strange for a Riverclan cat. However, she wants to bulk up a bit more.

Personality: Shinepaw is quite a happy apprentice, bright and ready to learn. Most of the time, her tail is stuck straight up in the air with happiness. However, when she is given criticism, she takes it quite badly. Although this cat knows that it will only improve her, she can't help but feel a bit down.

History: Shinepaw was born into the clan without difficulty. For most of the time, she had a good kit-hood. However, just before being apprenticed, a great storm came, and made the water of the river rise. Her brother ignored their mother's orders and went near the water's edge. A huge wave came along and swept him away from them. A couple of days later, they found his body along the dam. Although sad, she tried to keep her head up. She struggled through it, and made it back to a stable mind.

Other: -Would rather not give password away-

 

Well, then. Hello, new RP! Just wondering who's going to be her mentor? o.o

[Packgoater]

Oaktail could be... O.o Or maybe even Briarstar.

 

Gah, I'm finding myself liking Briarstar. Oh well, just makes it all the more fun to kill him off.

[TwilightMoonDragon]

Speaking of killing Briarstar off, don't do so until I tell you to, okay? Because there's a plot between Deadstar and Yellowpath, and Yellowpath is going to take over RiverClan like Tigerstar did with ShadowClan. Oh, Yewberry and Yellowpath should totally fight in the Gathering. :>

[Kokay]

This Gathering? It would actually happen. Yew is just hot-headed like that.

[TwilightMoonDragon]

And we kinda need Clevershadows... :< Unless warriors and apprentices are Clevershadows at night? And remember, an apprentice has to kill a kit in order to become a warrior.

[Kokay]

I can make one, but I don't want to make her all ShadowClan-y. I have too many evil characters. I want one that's not.

[LeopardDragon]

... an apprentice has to kill a kit in order to become a warrior.

ONLY true if you are RiverClan or ShadowClan, right? I can't picture Lynxie doing that at all. Though IF she were ordered to it might make for an interesting dilema... obeying the clan leader is a part of the warriors code, but what if your leader orders you to do something that goes against another part of the code ( like killing kits).

[Chicogal]

Shampies.

 

*Ahem* Anyway, I need clarification on who's going to be Shinepaw's mentor.

[dragcave:D]

is there a char limit? i forgot if i asked you when i pmed you >.< can i make a shadowclan?

[TwilightMoonDragon]

There is no charrie limit except that you have to post frequently and a paragraph per character. :>

 

Shinepaw can be Honeystar's apprentice. ^^

[Kokay]

Isn't Honeystar ThunderClan? Shinepaw is a RiverClan apprentice, right? If so, she can be Yew's. But I'm confused.

[Chicogal]

Honeystar is Windclan, dear. >.< *PatPats TMD* Poor thing, you're getting confused with all of this.

 

That would be great, Kokay!

[TwilightMoonDragon]

DX *sulks in corner*

How about Yewberry? :3
