OUTSIDERS

LOTS of cats. I use separate saves for each Clan and combine them.

You’ll get allegiances updates every 50 moons!

Haven’t... haven’t posted any of our Random Cats before, so no idea how much anyone would care? But here’s our most recent one that we’ve drawn, Hopstorm (along with her randomiser gene data from our Cat Randomiser. Sometimes it really just throws us a cat that makes our brain go brrr, and then we just have to draw them, don’t we.) She is trans and a creachure. Also why is it so hard to find photos of oriental medium/longhairs in good sitting positions, I basically gave up and referenced shorthairs for pose and then stared at photos of @pangur-and-grim‘s Pangur for a while in hopes I’d end up with a decent result on the fur lay. Did I succeed? Who knows! not me.

Reckless and wild, ScaleClan cats are vivacious, loyal, and competitive. Sharing their home with alligators and countless other predators, these cats are ready to defend each other at a moment’s notice… as such, they often get hurt, which has led to a culture celebrating scars and imperfections. Though their “make mistakes and learn from them” attitude might not suggest it, these cats are clever and highly spiritual, believing that below the earth within the cave they call home, they can walk amongst the spirits of their ancestors. 

 ScaleClan has come out of the storm to a time of peace, relatively speaking. The pythons which plagued their territory have reduced to a more manageable level, and compared to the other clans their hurricane preparations led to them losing the least amount of cats. But idleness leads the intrepid ScaleClan cats to question their circumstances. Who is marking within their border? Is StormClan planning something sinister, or are there unknown forces at play?

Clans of the Mire is a 16+ Discord-based Warrior Cats roleplay! Join the three clans: TideClan, the clever, adaptive cats of the coast, ScaleClan, the sturdy, agile cats of the gator-infested cypress swamps, and StormClan, the stubborn, stalwart cats of the abandoned twoleg place, as they struggle to coexist in the swamps of the southeastern US.

SO-

For Gator, my favorite moment is probably her first interaction with Mossgaze and her talks with Big Oak. With Mossy, she's real soft and her rambunctious tomfoolery is calmed by the melodic monotony of her mate's wonderfully creepy words. (Love how Bean plays her... love how Bean plays both her wives.) The very first RP post with Gatorstar was between these two, and it was wonderful! It was equal parts funny and sweet with a touch of swamp witch vibes from Mossy and Florida Man (tm) energy from Gator. They're a wonderful combo and Bean blesses me with milfs.

With Big Oak, she lets herself go a lot! They had so much fun hunting snakes, and probably my favorite moment was the first time we saw the Matron (that big ass burmese python). They were out hunting sneks, and came across an alligator, but a snake struck out and swallowed it whole, freaking them both the fuck out. Here's an old sketch I did of it that still makes me laugh. (Not the snakes's tongue, but the gator's tail. Supposed to be the shadow over them... dunno if that came across tbh)

For Spider, my favorite quote would have to be... when she was talking to Bluebellscar as her first ever RP post. For context for those who don't know, Spider is a cat raised by foxes who identifies herself as more a fox than a cat.

"How do you deal with it all?" She asked after a short, comfortable pause. "The looks and the hushed words behind your tail, that is. How do you cope with not... well, with not belonging in the only place left you have to belong?" She spoke quietly again, the energy once bursting through her fur like lightning in the black clouds of storms now silenced. No thunder cracked beneath her dark clouds, only the ominous stillness before a flooding downpour. She was focused too much on forcing these words through her teeth and admitting her struggle to fidget as she so often did.

I just like the symbolism and language I used writing this hyperactive fox cat. My sweet baby Spider... you will one day learn to love yourself, I promise!

For Shinefire, I have so many plans and thoughts! She has a ship that is almost certainly gonna end up being mates (RainOrShine is the ship name) with Rainfoot, and through that, she got super jealous and ended up fighting Nightshroud! Their enemy (kinda becoming Frenemies now???) Relationship is super fun to me. Catling and Calico play the both of them so well. It's always a blast. Also, Nmirah play her old mentor, and while we haven't had any rps yet with them... I can’t wait to see how Shine "mommy issues" Fire interacts with her substitute mom- I mean, mentor.

In terms of Sunstorm... holy shit. I drew them for their current ref... what? A year ago? Year and a half maybe even? Even then, I was enamored. NOW?! HOLY SHIT THEY'RE SO.... MMMMMMM! My first impressions were 👀 they look like they should be a deputy (sorry Seaflower- er.... star I guess?) And Gatorstar certainly respects them. I love that this behemoth brick wall of radiant power is related to Littlepaw of all cat.
