Warrior Cat Roleplaying

the long awaited sequel to this 

The Camp is quiet, cats are doing their daily duties and Aisa isn’t up to anything suspicious. Everything would have been fine if Falconstep and Crescentpaw weren’t gone, Thistleruff hadn’t betrayed you and you weren’t on such bad terms with Winterfang. But you aren’t the type to dwell and complain! You are just about to tell Aisa that she should join you on a patrol as you notice a familiar scent.

Falconstep! You are just about to rush and greet him with the most affectionate of nuzzles, but another tom comes in first and grabs all your attention. Was it really Auburnsun? After nearly smothering the newcomer and talking his ears off, you turn to the brown tom. You nuzzle and purr and cover him in affection. “You’re back Falconstep! You’re back!”

Yes Zed, It really is him! As much of a dream if must feel its auburn in the blood and flesh he has left!!!

You turn to see the leader being helped into the medicine cat den. And then put all your focus back on Zed. You notice the wounds on her face and ear...she almost looked as beat up as you currently did.

What happened Zed, Where did you get these wounds!? Who hurt you.

Before she could answer ,You nuzzle her cheek.

Im..Im sorry I left you behind....I had to find him, But i should have been here to watch over you...

Turning back to Falconstep as the leader disappears into the medicine den, you listen with wide eyes as he speak. Your ears twitching now and then.

“Woah…” is all you can muster once he’s finished. You look over towards the medicine den and back to Falconstep again.

It really is amazing. Pebblepaw, It was truly all the work of starclan, no doubt. He has lost a couple of his nine lives though, as a result of starvation being trapped. Though, the fact he has gained those lives is evidence that starclan has blessed us. and now recognizes us as a clan.

Your ears twitch when he asks why starclan didn't send us a sign about Auburn in the first place.

Thats a pretty good question..hmm... I wouldn't put it past having to do with Thistle. She probably sought a way to block starclan messages...Or..

You lift to standing passion and fixated your stare to the medicine cat den. Or maybe it has to do with those strange dreams everyone was having for some time. I got one from starclan, yet i never got any info about thistle and splitgaze...maybe they couldn't have been apart of the clan until Auburn returned with his 9 lives....how strange..it could be anything really!? 

You push the thought of it out for a while, now was a time of celebration, of happiness. Your leader was home and you return to smiling. Your wounds are starting to sting and you wince a little through your grin.

Youre gonna have to bear with me because I based Auburnstar’s family off my old warrior cat OCs that I made when I was like 13 so of course the family tree doesnt line up well even with me altering designs to be more realistic um…

YES HERE IT IS THOUGH

Jumped on the bandwagon.

Zed comes from a line of bred Abyssinians.

You’re completely wordless as what looks like nothing but a ghost steps into the clearing just next to you, together with Falconstep. Your mouth hang open as you take in the scene, and you watch as other cats who look about as shocked as you feel moves up to the leader to speak with him.

Your gaze however, wanders over towards Falconstep whom you’ve not seen for some time either and you pad over to him slowly, glancing from Auburn.. Did he say star? Aburnstar? to Falconstep.

You guide Pebblepaw to the edge of the clearing...Everyone was surrounding Auburnstar as he was taken away by the medicine cat. With a deep worth while sigh you begin.

Well...When I went searching for Auburn, I was sure I was looking for  a dead body. But, after a couple days of traveling I caught hold of a scent, a scent that lead to a tuft of tan fur. It lead me to a trench surrounded by water. Thats where I found Auburn, pinned under large rocks. He looked dead, until i saw the slow heaving of his chest.....He survived...After everything he survived!!

You sit and straighten your posture.

Turns out the trench he fell into was the starclan meeting place. It was what he left to find!! A true miracle..

So since this rp group has started we’ve seen lots of cats running away at some point or another for various reasons. At the beginning this was somewhat reasonable. The clan was new, no one was used to clan life, it’s understandable some aspects would be overwhelming. However as the clan has established itself, this is kinda not okay. More and more people are doing it on a regular basis. There’s in-character consquences for this kind of thing, not just “others might not trust my character as much”. It’s not realistic… Cats who leave would be seen as deserters, and not worthy of being warriors. For example, Leafpool was almost not allowed back after she ran away, and her title of medicine cat was stripped away. For a clan, loyalty is the most important thing, and cats who run away are not seen as loyal when their clan actually needs them. Why are they in a clan if they can’t handle aspects of clan life? There are some plot things where leaving the clan for a period of time are acceptable for cats in higher positions (like Auburnsun leaving to find the StarClan place for his 9 lives originally) But running away because they can’t handle it just isn’t what clan cats do. This all being said, I’d like this to stop. It compromises the realism of the roleplay, making it less of a Warriors roleplay at all. If you need to be away for a while, or can’t rp due to any circumstances, it’s better to put your cat on autopilot and resume normally when you return.

I also want to say something about killing and severely injuring your cat. Since that is a very major event, there should be warning before you do so, and you should tell Sawyer if that’s something you plan on doing. That does not mean watching an event unfold and saying “this is a good way for them to die, so I’m gonna go for it.” Without any warning, this can cause unneeded drama. Exceptions to this are things like Pigeonpaw’s death, which was used in a plot and meant to shock others and keep the story going. Deciding that your cat should go get mauled by foxes at the drop of a hat does not compare to this, as it doesn’t contribute to the story or further the plot. To be clear, I am not saying you shouldn’t kill your cats. I am not saying you aren’t allowed to give them the most gruesome death realistically possible. What I am saying is you need to give clear warning and run it by Sawyer before you do so. If you are ready to have your cat killed, by all means, you can even ask for a plot role in which it can occur if that’s what you want!

Auburnsun’s new talksprites! Old ones are on the left and the new ones are on the right.
