FJELL'BYR - RISE OF THE CLANS

OVERVIEW

Fjell'Byr is a feline community that is a mix of feral cats and Fjell. The Fjell are a unique hybrid species of lynx and cat mixed together. They live far away, high up in the mountain ranges that oversee the Clans of the Lake. To journey from the Clans to Fjell'Byr takes several quarter-moons, and is not considered easy to travel. Unlike the Clans of the Lake, they do not insist on borders, and instead welcome all to traverse or visit their community, known as a Byr.

TERRITORY

Fjell'Byr's territory is not defined by formal borders: travelers are welcomed to traverse through their territory. The mountains are already dangerous as is, and it is not in Fjell'Byr's spirit to make the wandering traveler's life more perilous. It is cold, and snow is always present. There are trees lower down within the mountains, but as one climbs higher and higher, the skies are as open as the view across the horizon.

DAILY LIFE

Fjell'Byr is a large feline population that spans across the mountains, resulting in a social hierarchy to ensure cooperation and unity across the Byr. There are three main factions:

The Disciples, who take an oath of pacifism and specialize in medical care of Fjell'Byr

The Champions, who battle-train rigorously even as full-fledged Champions to specialize in protecting Fjell'Byr

The Scouts, who are swift with their paws and keen in their senses, who specialize in keeping a watchful eye, and hunting, for Fjell'Byr

Their high ranks are a delegation of representatives from the factions, known as the Circle, as well as six main figureheads:

The Monarch, who is the leader of Fjell'Byr and has the highest authority

The Heir, who is next in line to become the Monarch

The Herbalist, who has final say in prophecies and care for Fjell'Byr

The Head Disciple makes the final decisions for the Disciple Faction, and reports to the Herbalist

The Head Champion makes the final decisions for the Champion faction, and reports to the Monarch and Heir

The Head Scout makes the final decisions for the Scout faction, and is relatively new to Fjell'Byr's hierarchy

Through this social structure, Fjell'Byr thrives in peace and harmony.

VALLEYCLAN - RISE OF THE CLANS

OVERVIEW

Living underneath the sun and sleeping underneath the stars, ValleyClan sees the world at its best and worst. Their lands are as vast and free as they come, with rolling hills and fields of flowers. ValleyClan is known for their 'get up and go' personalities, loving exercise and running through their beautiful land. Their specialty ranks of choice, the Sentinels and the Guardians, are trained to guard and keep watch from any incoming threats.

TERRITORY

The territory is characterized by large hills. The ground underpaw is half grass, half dirt and sand. The grass varies in length, from dense tall grass to large patches of short but soft grass. Sparse bushes dot the territory; anything larger in vegetation is rare. There are very few trees, save along the borders; any few trees found among the sloping hills are long dead. Out of all the territories, this territory has the most interaction with Twolegs. From a fully functional farm to remnants of past farming attempts, these cats are no strangers to the ways of these strange creatures. The main prey here are rabbits, pheasants, and very rarely, hawks. The main predators that can be found here are coyotes, badgers, and the occasional fox or large bird of prey. The cats that live here are wiry and typically brown-colored, to blend in with their territory.

DAILY LIFE

Having no tree cover, ValleyClan members are typically early birds: they get up at the crack of dawn! These cats typically use phrases that associate with the farm close by; examples of phrases include "soft as a sheep's pelt," "cow dung," and "A rooster's flight away." ValleyClan members have a slight advantage to running then other Clans, due to their wiry builds: they are built for speed. As a result, kits love to play tag and chase one another for games; this love of running continues into warriorhood. Warriors often challenge each other to races for fun, though these competitions can get heated easily for bragging rights. As the competition gets more serious, it's not uncommon to barter prey, and even morning patrol shifts.

SPECIALTY RANKS

Following the invasion of the Pack in ValleyClan’s territory, the new leader, Lilystar, and her deputy instated two new ranks in an effort to keep the fragile Clan sage from future threats. These ranks are the Guardian and the Sentinel. The Guardians act as ValleyClan’s first line of defense, and are set to patrol the perimeter closest to camp. Cats who decide to step into this position must be adept in all sorts of fighting styles. The Sentinels are regarded as the eyes and ears of ValleyClan. They patrol the outskirts of ValleyClan’s territory and report signs of oncoming danger to the Guardians. Sentinels are expected to be quick, prioritising speed over strength in order to be a carrier of information. A cat can begin training underneath the Guardians and Sentinels after completing their Warrior’s training. 

Hello Tumblr!

The mod team here, with an important announcement:

For the comfort of the moderator team going forward, this roleplay will be transitioning to an 18+ roleplay!

This is a TRANSITION, not an instant change!! Our current rules beyond our age rating are NOT changing immediately! We know there are currently minors in our server, so this will be a gradual transition over the next two years! ▫️ All current minors who are members: you are not required to leave whatsoever due to your ages! You will be "grandfathered" in! We do not plan to remove any current minors. As a result, none of our rules otherwise are changing, besides our joining process. We recognize that due to our current minimum age (16) that we will have to wait at least 2 years until any other changes could be implemented. ▫️ Going forward: We will only accept members from now on that are 18 and older. While we will never require anyone to tell us their legal age or birthday, It will be a requirement to at least attest that you are a legal adult in order to join. As always, anyone who is caught lying about their age will receive a permanent ban.

Thank you all for reading!

RockClan's Camp - Rise of the Clans

Location

RockClan makes its camp among a circle of rocks and boulders. The boulders vary in shape and size, seemingly scattered randomly to form a rough ring. The camp entrance is marked by two large boulders, not hard to miss, making this camp somewhat accessible to outsiders. Once inside, there is a clearing with smaller rocks scattered about, with a few trees to offer shade in green-leaf overhead. These rocks serve as perfect warming and sunning spots, due to the sparse overhead cover. It is not uncommon to catch apprentices and kits playing atop the rocks that border the camp: it is frowned upon for warriors to partake in this activity, however.

Dens

The boulders that slope against one another and ring the camp form the entrance to the underground burrows that serve as the Clans' dens. These burrows are rather large and spacious, but pitch dark once inside. During times of heavy rain, these burrows flood and the cats of RockClan must seek shelter above ground, atop the boulders that make up the camp walls. Despite the flooding, the nursery in RockClan is considered the most secure out of all the four Clans, due to the emergency bolthole located between the nursery and the Leaders' Den. This bolthole exits into the RockClan training grounds.

CHARACTER CREATION - RISE OF THE CLANS

In Rise of the Clans, you are allowed two free character slots. With the use of group currency earned through participation, you can unlock up to fifteen character slots, as well as a special active ghost character slot.

The Clans of the Lake and Fjell'Byr are free to join without purchase. Rogues, loners, and kittypets require a purchase from the shop to create!

All LGBTQ+ identities are welcomed and respected. There are no limitations whatsoever. Characters may have any and all disabilities, there will never be a purchase required to implement a character disability. Cats are limited in their vocabulary and therefore cannot name the medical terms for their mental illnesses. That does not mean they do not have them, however: characters are allowed to exhibit all range of symptoms and side effects, provided all portrayals are respectful in nature. No ableism, homophobia, transphobia, or bigotry otherwise will be tolerated.

Character designs are meant to be "semi-realistic": cats must have realistic appearances with pelt colors and markings found naturally across the species: no unnatural colors (i.e. neon green, bright blue, firetruck red, etc.), and no completely unnatural markings such as complex or geometric symbols. Slightly unnatural markings and toned colors are allowed within reason, such as “doberman dog” coloration/markings on a cat, blue/purple toning to gray pelt colors, hearts/diamond shaped markings, etc. Genetic accuracy is not remotely necessary, i.e. there can be fertile male calicoes, and all color mutations are allowed without purchase.

Pure breeds and rare mutations such as polycaudal cats are allowed via shop purchases.

Characters are allowed accessories via shop purchases.
