[HIGHRANK ADOPT]
DAWNCLAN’S DEPUTY
Hello everyone! As we all have anticipated, there are some roles needing to be filled in a few of our Clans, once in which are available for those wishing to either become a treasurer or a deputy. DawnClan’s deputy is officially open for those interested in the open position.
We are all more than eager to get started with our deputy tryouts and get to know the characters that come from it or are brought into it as a pre-existing to see how they accommodate to their surroundings. However, unlike the ranks we have available inside the Clan, the deputy role holds a major and significant purpose for one of their major plot points in their story. We would like to preface our open rank with a disclaimer for what’s to be expected of holding it.
The deputy will be around for a very long time, as the participating characters of this plot are still fairly young at the time of posting these admissions for the DawnClan deputy. However, there will come a point during this deputy’s plot where they have an already established, pre-written death that will further push the progress of the plots of both Twolegplace and DawnClan and build within it the intrigue that comes in their unforeseen union. How this character develops and makes their stories is entirely up to the roleplayer, as they will be made aware beforehand that their character’s life will be dictated by the events that transpire to their death.
If you hold any other inquiries regarding the circumstances this role will involve your character into, feel free to address any concerns or questions with either member of our staff! We will be the ones reviewing the applications for this role, and as such we want to make this experience with holding the rank as deputy as enjoyable as possible, despite their end being predetermined. If there are any specifics you would wish to know from our description of our plot line, then you may feel free to ask the plot coordinators listed above in either our questions channel or directly in dms.
Thank you for reading, and we hope to see many exciting characters lined up to our auditions!
[— WITHIN THE PRESENT DAY.]
As the cries of war soften into quiet reminisce across the gentle wayward winds, the Clan finally finds a calm to replenish the grief they've wrought into the sharpness of their claws, beginning the times of healing and respite, of finding peace and prosperity within their herd once again.
There is much left to fix, and neither would these efforts bear fruit of their labor by morning. much as they hoped for those days to return to them long since their neighboring Clan had come with fangs as sharp as the silts of their scathing, guileful gaze. It comes at a time where they come together to bury the grief and tears and travesties that have fallen across their pastures, and to renew them to their former glory amongst their territory as a sign for prosperity.
Stagstar, rising from amidst the hubris of her Clan’s lands and what left has remained from where RubbleClan has ravaged it with their erosive claws and inconsolable envy, would come to declare her deputy, all with the expectation of cleansing their lands and recovering the claw-marred memories of battle. In them, she sees their methods of bringing relief amongst their peers, sees the way they carry the weight of what others can’t withstand on their own and to invigorate the sullen spirits of their comrades that would rise beside them in the new day that shines upon them.
Their loyalty to their Clan would come to be solidified through her mind as they are seen to make haste with filling for the ill that had been bedridden into the comfort nests. Their unfaltering devotion to the well-being of the natural order to not of the roles of their Clan, but of the conditions of their Clanmmate would come to sound throughout the rolling pastures as the winds carried the Clan’s caterwauls of their newly appointed deputy. With professing their oath beneath the risen sun of their Clan, their devotion marks the day of a new beginning.
Moons long before the transpiring events that take the life of the deputy, Coyotemaw would come to an agreement with a small coalition in the far-lands of Twolegplace, growing larger by the days as they roughened their pelts and bent their claws into steel not even RubbleClan could rupture with the stone of their bodies. Where they laid claim to their lands, the shadows subsumed one’s every quiet breath, caught in the leering eyes and swept with the quiet footfalls of cats that held the evince of a winding wraith. Their lands turn barren in what they’ve devoured in their collective shadow, distending their bellies in avidity and swells their eyes in waiting. As a unit, they call themselves The Coldbloods. A coalition he had come to familiarize himself with, not of their presence, but of the cat who ruled amongst the rest of them.
In search of him, he finds his way seamlessly as though one of their own, deeming himself commendable as to place his words of proposition to the front of the heads’ wynorrific claws of gold. Before him, he bears his thoughts to the ears of a cat who goes by the name Skirmish.
He tells him of the affairs of his Clan, how the claws of RubbleClan have rendered them incoherent to make the right decisions, how he finds fault in the ones who had stripped them of their faith and dignity in even their own Clanmmates. They’ve lost their way as warriors, and only he knows how to bring them back with a conviction that pales in comparison to the deputy’s loyalty. He asks Skirmish to take his side, to restore the ideals of his Clan by taking his rightful place as deputy. He asks for the dogs they keep behind their chained fences, insists that in using them to ensnare the blight of his Clan’s future through the insuperable claws of his members, he’ll promise to give heft in their sunken cheeks and narrow-gutted bodies of his peers, assuring that he’ll supply them for many seasons to come.
Skirmish, although not immediately taking the offer, would come out to imminently come to an agreement for what he proposes as he becomes convinced. They’ve come to express separate visions and desires that would come in, and when these goals would come to a head, they then go their separate ways as they begin the enactment that will come to unfold the future they’ve vied for.
The reports from their patrol regarding a predator infringing through the borders of their territory. This causes unease and solicitude that have wavered the sturdy hearts of their Clanmates, something that would come to pull the deputy into his duties of turning every reed and stone for where they may reside. The deputy leads one of the many who patrols across the territories, one in which would consist of Coyotemaw who imposes he’d leave with them. As they reach a certain location, the patrol finds and clings their claws onto the back of a wild dog. When mere intentions in chasing away the dog spills alongside the blood of their comrades, reinforcements are brought into the fray of a ruthless attack. Stagstar comes to protect her wounded Clanmmates, only to be met with the fatal bite that results in losing one of her lives.
The dog is chased away, and as cats take Stagstar back to the Clan, Coyotemaw stops the deputy in their tracks from going after them, insisting they delve into whence they came from. The deputy takes heed to his word. (Their thought process/feelings of taking his word is up to the adopter) and together will the two of them make haste up the fields of DawnClan, where they're met at the outskirts of Twolegplace where they've supposedly been released. The two notice one of the cats looking towards them, the two of them after them as they dart into the deepest parts of Twolegplace. They’re brought into the darker corners of Twolegplace, where they’re surrounded by outsiders that hide in waiting. Behind them, Coyotemaw comes towards them, and with it comes the sudden realization of betrayal being struck through their minds in the same breadth Coyotemaw takes the last of it with a fatal blow, slaining them where they stood. (What happens here/the progression of this scene can be up to the adopter.)
With the limp body of the deputy to the paws of Skirmish’s recruits, Coyotemaw signifies for the rest of their hoard to be released. With that, he turns tail to bound towards the camp. When he returned, questions arose of the whereabouts of their deputy. Coyotemaw admits hastily to what had transpired, how the deputy had dug further into Twolegplace as he fends away the dog in support of his search. However, he had scented more than one, and that their scent was caught closing in on the borders. A sharp yowl across the clearing pricks the ears and raises the furs of those unsuspecting to the pack that run afoul towards their camp. The Clan spring to their paws into the heat of battle, protecting their Clanmmates in a ruthless battle that would’ve cost the destruction of their home and the leader brought down to her paws from injuries moments in waking from unconsciousness.
DawnClan begins repairing itself, Coyotemaw elected as the temporary deputy for the absence of their Clanmmate. With the rising concern of the their Clanmmates, Upwalkers, and the heralding dog regarding their erosive scent across their territory, Coyotemaw comes to proposes a plan to the leader that he has concocted while spearheading the runs across the territory for supplies and clues of the predators whereabouts. He mentions the cat he had met moons ago, how he’s learned of the coalition he operates and insists with their help they could push the dogs back to where they came from. This leads to DawnClan visiting and formally meeting with The Coldbloods for clues of the dogs and where they came from. Skirmish admits to their group containing these dogs to ensure the safety of those in their area. They’ve been in search of their dogs to keep them confined, and with finding out that they’ve broken free from their cages do they form a temporary alliance to catch them and to return them back to whence they came.
Together, they rally the dogs back into the paws of The Coldbloods, sparing their fields once more from the threats that encroach them. However, a question is raised regarding if they have found anything of their missing deputy. Luckily, the cats bear news that they might have found where they’ve been. However, the truth crumples the hopes of those closest and reliant on their Clanmmate, for they declare that they body that had matched the description of who they’re looking for had been desecrated by the claws of the dogs they’d been looking for. They ask for the body to be buried in their fields, where they may lay him to rest in the comfort of their bygone Clanmmates. Taking much of what they could, they thank the Coldbloods for their help in finding their lost deputy and saving them from the vicious pack of dogs. With it, they come to an offer that would come to engender a long-term alliance. They’ll feed them and their dogs to keep them safeguarded in their cages, and in return they wish for them to keep watch of their outskirts.
This leads to the union between DawnClan and the Twolegplace cats, where they find a new ally from the outskirts of their territory. With it, came the rise of a new deputy in their Clan. Honored for his bravery and efforts in rebuilding their Clan back to its former glory, Coyotemaw raises to the top of the pier before his Clanmmates with a head held high in his steadfast resolve. With the oath of ensuring the safety of his Clan and to stand for as long as possible to serve his Clan for many moons to come, he invigorates the spirits of his peers to rise in wake of a prosperous age of harmony and fulfillment. And with it, comes a new day of peace and rest, with hopes of a brighter future shedding the weight of the claws-scratched memories from the depths of their hearts.
