OOC // Character Sheets // Roleplaying




By The Lakeside is a Warriors-inspired roleplay taking place in eastern Alaska near the coastside, far enough from the intrusion of twolegs that they never have to fear for losing the taiga and rainforest to their massive monsters. The first clan to be set up was FroryClan, founded by the kittypet now known as Silas the First. Silas was originally born beside the five clans Shadow, Thunder, River, Wind, and Sky, but his housefolk travelled in a plane— what he called a monsterbird— to where they reside now. Silas quickly told the locals about StarClan and the warrior code, which eventually led to him forming FroryClan and becoming Frorysliver. But Frorysliver eventually realized something: they hadn't found a place to speak with StarClan, and no leader could have nine lives unless one was discovered.
The second clan formed was HazeClan, formed by Hazefrost, who apon searching for a StarClan gathering place became enamored by the temperate rainforest beside the coast, warmer then the taiga and plentiful of herbs. Hazefrost eventually returned to FroryClan asking them to move territories because of how much better it'd be, but the current leader Noonsnow was stubborn and vigilant in staying in their founded territory. So Hazefrost offered to build their own clan, and if cats wanted, they could come with, and so they left to their new territory. HazeClan is notorious for disliking kittypets, and their territorial nature is a threat, leaving the two clans scrambling to find a StarClan gathering area to get ahead of the other.
StarClan tells the apothecaries to reach for the stars to find what they need, and eventually it was interpreted that the area would be in the mountains to the north. HazeClan and FroryClan are at war over the mountains now, claiming territory and seeking for a way to be blessed by the stars.



THE RENDEZVOUS


The Rendezvous is where gatherings occur. It is a clearing between the two territories, with the two leaders sitting on a large sycamore. No fighting may occur.



Note: apothecary is used as a stand-in for medicine cat as i am not comfortable with using words inspired by indigenous culture in my roleplay as warriors is already problematic in nature. monarch is also a replacement for queen, as it is gender neutral.

Mallowleaf lounges outside their den, moving every so often to better catch the sun. They let out a yawn and roll over, ignoring or maybe just not noticing the nearby clanmates chattering around him. They mutter to themselves, "Oh.... that's a pretty cloud" before rolling over into a new position.

Duskbright stretches and yawns, his fur rippling as his shoulders tensed. Settling himself into a sitting position, the black-and-white tom brushed down his back fur with his tongue. He yawned again, his eyes watery, and pad out of the leader's den. It was chilly, and the earth underneath his paws was frigid and frosty. He stiffened. leafbare will be coming soon. It could come sooner. he thought bitterly, glanced around camp. With due respect, it was still early, so no warriors were really out yet, and  even if they were, Duskbright didn't feel comfortable sending out patrols until the sun was high enough to soften the earth.

So he figured he'd visit with the apothecaries. On light paws he pad over to Mallowleaf, who was lazing about. "The sky is pretty, i agree. Sleep well, Mallowleaf?" Duskbright sniffed, although privately he thought it was unprofessional to lounge.

Mallowleaf perked up and looked at his leader. "Mornin' Duskbright" They mewl in a tone pleasant to the ears. The sit up, albeit taking their time in doing so. "Yeah, I slept pretty well. Though the cold was start'n to creep in." They brush down the messy curls of fur on their chest, trying to appear somewhat professional.

Suddenly serious, Mallowleaf turns to their leader. "Leafbare is commin' soon ya know. It's probably a good idea for me to go an' do some forging." Mallowleaf shifts nervously awaiting Duskbright's answer, knowing well that the tom didn't like to send out patrols early, much less a lone apothecarie with a habit of spacing out every few seconds.

"i can't disagree." Duskbright's whiskers trembled as a cold breeze flushed over the two. He hunched and started to lick at his paws impulsively, which were already raw from the habitual grooming he had been doing since becoming leader. Although they ached with each stroke of his bristled tongue, it was a good soother of his anxieties.

"I know that, Mallowleaf." He says somewhat tartly, although not with any malice. "but you shouldn't go alone." the apothecary should know that. He frowned, but forced a neutral expression when a headache tempted the edges of his thoughts. Not now, it was too early. "Once the warriors wake up, you can send one with you. I don't want anyone by themself, especially near the HazeClan border. I know they have herbs, but you can't trust them. I feel they'd break the code and attack you."

Mallowleaf's ears droop in defeat, though they already suspected their leader would answer in that way. It's not that he didn't like company when out of camp, rather he knew a good portion of those who go out with him get annoyed by his antics easily. Mallowleaf tries not to feel guilty about that; it's just who they are. But even so they still don't like to bother others if he can avoid it.

At the mention of Hazeclan, Mallowleaf kneads his paws against the frozen earth. The coming war over the mountains makes their anxiety spike. With leafbare coming soon, and the influx of illness and wounds earned in battle, they can already sense the  loss of their herb stores along with the loss of lives that he can't prevent. They look to their leader and quietly murmur "Do you genuinely think they would attack an apothecary?" Mallowleaf can't fight to save their life, and wouldn't be able to smell nearby warriors. The thought of being attacked terrifies them.

Duskbright sighs, a long, drawn out breath that is whispy with age. Mallowleaf's saddened expression was tempting him to just let the dreamy apothecary out anyway, but he stays vigilant. He wasn't allowed out alone when he was a apothecary and neither would Mallowleaf. Although from time to time Duskbright would hear the other warriors complain about the ditzy healer. Sympathy blossomed a bit in his heart, but his expression was still stone.

Duskbright glances over at the tense apothecary. Worry tempts his mind, scared of what would become of FroryClan if they lost a apothecary, especially in such a dangerous time. He shook his head, and sighed again, curling his tail tightly around his body as if he could protect himself and FroryClan just with a single black tail.

"I wouldn't trust them. You can't trust anyone except your clanmates in these times. " he muttered bitterly, unsheathing his paws. "And it's especially too risky for you. I trust your herbal knowledge, Mallowleaf, but your nose is blind, and i fear you'd wander over the border." He winces, wondering if that was too harsh. But it was true.

The mention of his being nose blind didn't hurt, Mallowleaf knew their limits. They know their leader is right but still feels a small twinge of sadness at the idea of being attacked simply because they wandered over the border. Were Hazeclan cats truly that heartless, to attack someone with no chances of retaliation? And silently Mallowleaf questioned why they were even fighting each other. Could the mountains not be shared? Would Starclan even want them to be fighting? Mallowleaf didn't know.

Mallowleaf looks up and mewls in a relaxing tone, "That checks out. Sorry for insistin'." Although the forging may be awkward, knowing it would ease his leaders anxiety makes it worth it. They glance around camp again before sitting down and nervously preening their chest again. They start to make a mental list of herbs to look for and where they lie within their domain. Their domian. Not Hazeclans. Mallowleaf makes a mental note to pick out some landmarks close to the border so they can at least have an idea of where their territory ends.

It wasn't fair. Duskbright knew. StarClan couldn't even send him lives after all they've taken from him. He lost the position he loved and his then-mate Batwing, her unborn kits and himself were nearly banished. And StarClan still came crawling to him in help ridding of the former leader and deputy. He still feared that a cat might know. How easily someone could've spotted him dragging out their corpses, or stuffing poppy seeds into their prey. Someone had to've.Duskbright was just scared who.

Mallowleaf could know. He told himself, warily glancing at the lambkin. Anyone could. He tried to push his rapidly speeding thoughts of panic down, although his fur still bristled.

"It's fine, Mallowleaf. Perfectly fine. You wouldn't deserve to be attacked, would you?" he warned, and frowned as his head started to pulse with pain. a migraine, how pleasant. "You're too good a apothecary- and clanmate  for us to lose you. I'll order someone to go with you at sunhigh."

Polarfreeze - He/him - FroryClan Warrior - Location: Warrior's den


His joints hurt. His joints always hurt in this cold Alaskan weather.

It made sleep difficult, but maybe that was because he still had his recent choices haunting him when he tried to get rest. His mother's words. His father's rage. Ternswoop's adamance towards their betrothal because it was "their" responsibility to unite generations of conflict...he was glad he escaped it all. But Ternswoop made him feel guilty like he was a horrible warrior for avoiding something so cruelly forced upon him. It wasn't fair- why couldn't he just be a regular warrior? Why couldn't he choose who he got to love if he wanted anyone at all?

The lynx point huffed a small size as he rested in the uncomfortably small nest. That was all behind him now. He had fled from HazeClan a few days ago. It was time to start a new chapter in his life, one that he could write on his own.
