One of three sisters said to have created the first ever storm, Opportunity is a mythical figure whom all Storm Chasers revere. Often considered the wisest of the three in tales recounted by those who carry on the legacy of the three sisters, Opportunity is the de facto "leader" of the trio, the spark that lit the way for every Storm Chaser to follow.

Today, with a look at and introduction to Opportunity, one of three legendary figures in Storm Chaser culture, we bring to you a fragment from our Storm Chaser lore document! This segment reviews the way in which leadership functions within the Storm Chasers. This information, as well as so much more, will all be available on a detailed document that will be fully dropped come September 1st when applications officially open, but for now, enjoy a piece of the complete thing!

Life as a Storm Chaser is full of constant risk — just a season cycle and a half ago, a large portion of their group was lost to a tragic cave in that encased many in an earthen grave following the pursuit of perhaps one of the grandest floods seen by the Storm Chasers to date — but no cat who lives among this weathered bunch is afraid of throwing caution to the wind. Their constant longing for proximity to that which others would deem too dangerous to ever approach is what characterizes the Storm Chasers; bold, sometimes reckless, and completely ready to dive headfirst into the chaos that wait for them. Wanderers who go wherever the most extreme weather takes them, these cats greet the impact of intense storms and even the often ensuing result of death that comes from their daring ways as an inevitability rather than something to spend their lives dreading. Though their culture may be difficult to comprehend for those more keen to mourn, it is said by the Storm Chasers that those who pass on in pursuit of the weather and the winds will simply be taken on by them in the afterlife, and in continuing their chase, they are forever running alongside those taken too soon. Of course, running is not the only option granted to them, and as storms coalesce and the time for new revelations rises from the earth, a new era for the Storm Chasers may be dawning upon them.

Join us here in ThreeClans as the Storm Chasers are introduced to The Trove of Twisted Tunnels, one of our server's five current established groups among a roster that members may join and roleplay among! The Trove features unique Warrior Cats inspired elements but deviates from the typical "clan" structure and innovates by creating a roleplay environment where cats participate in ranks and roles based on which season they are born during, allowing for fighters and protectors; tacticians and healers; kit rearers and caretakers; and hunters and providers!

Applications Now Open for FogClan!

In a far-off former farming town known by its feline residents as “Nowhere,” mystery and intrigue run amok. Though the town was once governed by twoleg presence, it has long since been abandoned and left to the descendants of cats brought in to control the rodent population of the community.

Nowhere is a ghost town for good reason. The persistent flooding that plagues the land made it inhabitable for human life, though the cats who cling to the distressed structures and worn down land see more in it than any twoleg ever did. After all, the cats of Nowhere have their reasons for remaining where they do. A longstanding history of folklore and fables keep them tethered to the community that they have built, superstition guiding their paws.

Hardship is simply a familiar facet of life for most residents of Nowhere, and most cats have learned to endure the usual struggles that beset them in their town, guided along by their tales and stories. However, recent internal conflict threatens to put them at greater risk than they have been before. The cats of Nowhere are plenty capable of weathering physical storms, well adapted to their way of life, but when their very community and culture begins to crumble before them, they may need to look beyond themselves for assistance and reach out into the mist.

The Next to Nowhere event will begin in the town of Nowhere, which is set apart from the territory of the clans and the trove. The distance will not extend for long, however, as the cats of Nowhere are bound to discover troubles plaguing their home that go beyond their comprehension.

DETAILS

This round of application is open to new potential members as well as members already in ThreeClans, and will be open to applications for both original characters as well as six adoptable characters with preestablished guidelines. We will be looking to accept 20 characters total, split between characters coming from both new members and current members. Each accepted member will have a character living amidst the cats of Nowhere with the end goal of that character joining FogClan. You have from April 22nd to May 6th to apply for original characters, and from April 22nd to May 2nd to apply for adoptable characters.

GUIDELINES

You must be at least 18 years old to apply.

The cats of Nowhere are seen as outsiders to FogClan, but we are looking to limit the number of true “outsiders” to the town itself. This means that residents of Nowhere who have origins outside of the town will be limited. Kittypets from faraway locations, loners just now coming to visit Nowhere, and other sorts of outsiders are permitted, but be aware of the fact that you may be competing for a limited spot when submitting a character with this kind of backstory. In comparison, we welcome cats who feature backstories that place their histories firmly within the town of Nowhere. Many cats have lineages that trace back generations through the town’s history, and their families may have been a part of Nowhere for seasons — or perhaps your character is the offspring of a former outsider but has only ever known the town of Nowhere themself. Get creative, but keep this in mind when applying!

You must apply for a cat that is at least 3 moons of age. You are welcome to apply for any age above this.

You must apply initially with a name that reflects the “outsider” status of your character. This means that no cat will join the roleplay with a Clan name. These names will be earned throughout the process of roleplaying. For example, an acceptable name would be “Bat,” while an unacceptable one would be “Batclaw.”

Please thoroughly read any documents provided and linked above, and create your original character with the lore and setting in mind.

Please be prepared to be active! Ideally, our members will engage in roleplaying quite frequently. If you are looking for a roleplay that is slower or one that you can pop into only once per month, you should reconsider if ThreeClans is the group for you. ThreeClans functions on a real life time system, which means that every day that passes in real life is equal to a day passing in the roleplay’s time. Though time may be adjusted accordingly for more intense events, and liquid time may be given to those who ask permission to complete roleplays, things are quite fast paced — we like to keep everything moving so that nothing stagnates for too long!

You must have a Discord account to join the roleplay, as that is where it is hosted!

Fables await within the fog. 

In the town of Nowhere, fact and fiction are often not as separate as they may seem. The descendants of farm dwelling cats brought in to control rodent populations now run rampant through the remnants of a once bustling community. Long since abandoned by twolegs, the ghost town of Nowhere belongs entirely to its feline residents now, and despite the hardships they have faced as a result of the frequent flooding and persistent danger that the town hurls their way, they have made it their own.

Not everything is bound to last forever, though. Recent struggles within Nowhere have made its occupants question whether or not they truly can hold strong through the troubles plaguing them, and some have begun to contemplate the idea of turning towards outside sources for assistance. Unbeknownst to them, of course, FogClan lingers not far off, merely waiting to be found.
