Up to you, I personally do it every new lifestage

I hope it's okay with you, but to make it slightly more easier I've created a lil generator that generates random events for you! It's currently a huge work in progress, but It will get better with more prompts as time goes on. https://perchance.org/royal-challenge-events

Camp Defended Moon 19 The fox turned around and ran away. Good thing, too, I don't want to kill another. As Fernstar spun around to get back in the fray, she spotted something light brown sticking up from the ground. She paused, and when she looked closely she could just barely make out a light brown cat huddled in a hole. Curiosity shone in its eyes. She wondered if she should speak to the cat, but as it saw her looking at it, its eyes sparked with fear, and it jumped out of the hole and darted away. That's when she recognized it as the kit she had saved from the hawk. (ignore the rogue male that Redfish chased off) An opportunistic hawk hovered above, but Lightkit would protect his friend no matter what. They huddled against the nursery wall, Lightkit covering Stonekit and fluffing themself up to look bigger than they were. The hawk circled a couple times, but then thought better of it and flew away. Maybe I'll be made an apprentice now! Wait till Fernstar hears about this! His mother was now screaming so he didn't want to tell her about it now...maybe later when she stopped screaming...if she stopped screaming. Rootclaw barely noticed his many injuries as he raked his claws down the fox's side. Its friend had latched onto his leg, but soon he heard a yelp behind him and it let go. He dug his hind legs in to prevent the fox from shaking him off. Fernstar slammed into the fox as it pinned Turtlemist. She did it with such force that a sickening crack occured, and the fox fell limp to the ground. Shaking, Fernstar slowly stood. I did it again, it's dead. "You did what you had to do," said Redfish gently. "That's the last of them! We defended our camp!" said Rootclaw proudly, oblivious, before noticing Fernstar's demeanor, "What's wrong?" "It's just...I didn't mean to kill them," said Fernstar. "You had to," said Rootclaw, "to defend Turtlemist and the kits. It nearly got into the nursery, there was no other way." Fernstar sat there for a minute, silent, and then she said, "You're right. There wasn't. But now we must not waste the meat. We are struggling to catch prey at the moment." "Eat a fox?" said Turtlemist, obviously disgusted. "Yes," said Fernstar bristling, "Unless you'd rather let the kits starve. Shiningsun needs enough milk to feed them." Turtlemist didn't say anything more. "Divide up the carcass," she told Rootclaw, and to Redfish she said, "go check on the other carcass." To her dismay, he reported back, "The remaining foxes are eating it!" "The vermin! They don't even respect their own! We should chase them off and eat it ourselves," Rootclaw suggested. "It might contain diseases though," cautioned Turtlemist, overhearing the conversation. "Then let them have it. If they think it right to eat their own, who are we to judge them?" She pictured the starving foxes they had fought to keep out of their camp. We've taken their prey and kept them from eating us, so I'm not taking away their last chance of survival, however grizzly it may be.

The Foxes Moon 19 Fernstar rushed after Rootclaw, her mind racing. Hopefully after a few scratches and bites the foxes would turn tail and run. Foxes weren't usually the kind to stick around if they couldn't get an easy meal. But when she saw them fighting with such desperation, their skin clinging to their bones, she knew it wouldn't be an easy fight. They had been stopped at the camp entrance by Snowbridge and Redfish, but one was already attempting to dart past Snowbridge into camp. Fernstar jumped on it and sank her teeth into its neck. It tried to shake her off, but with no success. She raked her claws down its back and it whimpered, its shaking growing weaker. She then let go of its neck and slid off it's back. She expected it to go running the other way. Instead it limped forward, eyes shining with determination. She had no choice but to attack again. She pulled its tail and it yelped, but tried to rush forward into camp. She jumped on its back again and raked its sides. It whimpered and attempted to snap at her, but it couldn't reach her. Then it crumpled to the ground. She jumped off immediately, looking around to see if one of her clan mates needed help, but Snowbridge was handling a fox fine on her own, Redfish was chasing one off...and for the moment she saw no others. She turned back to the fox and saw its eyes had clouded over. It's dead, I killed it. She felt a peculiar grief and guilt. It wasn't another cat, and it had been determined to kill a kit, but she felt like taking its life had somehow been wrong. She noted that never before had she had to kill a predator, only chase them off... But this fox couldn't be deterred. It was desperate, it was starving. It and its clan. She realized for the first time that their arrival here had taken up prey that had been the foxes before. This had probably been their territory. We've been eating their food, starving them. She heard a yowl of victory. Then Redfish came back into view, "That fox won't be coming back any time soon!" Fernstar nodded solemnly. "What's wrong?" he asked, concerned. She pointed to the carcass next to her. "Oh...it is an odd thing to kill a predator," he said sympathetically, "I had to do it once before." "Thanks Redfish," she said, "what would I do without you?" Her deputy nodded and gave her shoulder a quick lick before launching back into the fray. "But I'm old enough to be an apprentice!" protested Lightkit, "Why can't I help fight the foxes?" "You haven't been made an apprentice yet," scolded Turtlemist, "if you attack the foxes in spite of that, you may never be made one!" "Really?" asked Stonekit with wide eyes. "No, fur-brain, they can't do that!" Lightkit told the younger kit. "Be patient Lightkit, you'll be made an apprentice soon enough," purred a very pregnant Shiningsun, "in the mean time, you must listen to me. And I say you can't fight the foxes. You have no training, you can't battle without battle training to assist you." "But I want-" Suddenly, Shiningsun let out a gasp and then a groan, grimacing. Her bedding got soaked. Lightkit gazed at the scene in horror, "Mom?!" "She'll be alright," said Turtlemist, "I'll take care of her. You two wait- play in the corner." Just when they thought the battle was won more foxes rushed out of the darkness. A couple of them ran right past the fighting cats into camp. Redfish leapt at one and clawed its face. At first, Snowdrift thought the red pelt she had seen between the white pelts of the foxes was Redfish or Fernstar, but then she realized the cat wasn't fighting the foxes. It was gazing at her in a way that creeped her out. She shuddered and ran toward Fernstar and Redfish. (so uh pretend this doesn't happen atm I had to do it to protect Snowbridge from rogue male) Redfish assured Snowbridge everything was going to be alright and went to look for the strange tom that had stared at her. He didn't have to go far, because he was following Snowbridge! He felt a spark of rage and jealousy in his chest. They didn't have time to deal with rogues right now! He charged at the rogue. The rogue looked surprised, and he turned and fled. Good. I hope you never come back!

The Bait Moon 19 Fernstar had ordered Rootclaw to be on guard duty that morning. So Redfish and Snowbridge went on hunting patrol together. Redfish was nervous. Snowbridge had been avoiding him for the past week, and the strange cat had not appeared to him again. He longed to twin their tails together and purr at eachother like Fernstar and Rootclaw did, but he knew that she could very well reject him. And if she did he couldn't blame her. He was approaching elder age. He would be in many ways a burden to her. Yet he also remembered well the last time he had feelings like this. He had never confessed to the she-cat, being so nervous and not knowing what to do, and she had died. He couldn't let that happen again! But other times he realized that HE was the one who would die first. If she loved him it would hurt much the same way he had hurt. Maybe if he never confessed she would never have feelings for him and she wouldn't get hurt. But what if she did and she was hiding hers too? Then she would be hurt like he had been! There were no easy answers... A mouse scurried away as he absentmindedly walked along, bringing him back to the present. Snowbridge tried to catch up to it, but it made it to the rocks and disappeared from view, "Tadpoles!" she exclaimed. It was an expression like mouse dung that only Snowbridge used. "I-I'm sorry," stuttered Redfish, embarrassed, "I should've payed attention." "I-it's a-alright," she seemed embarrassed too, "what were you thinking about?" His heart beat fast, I want to tell her but I don't want to tell her. He stood there looking stupid. "I-s everything...alright?" "Yeah it's just..." I love you but I'm afraid to tell you. She padded up to him and licked his shoulder. Then she sat next to him, "What do you want to tell me?" "No-nothing!" he said, jumping back. She looked confused and hurt. "I-I-I'm sorry! I-I didn't mean to hurt you," he said, almost in a whisper. She stood there, looking unsure. Suddenly, a flash of white caught his eye. Instinctively he chased after it, and within a matter of seconds he caught up and killed the rabbit with a swift bite. He brought it back and put it at Snowbridge's feet, "For you." "Shouldn't we bring this back to camp?" she asked. He blushed and averted his gaze, "Oh, right." Suddenly she was next to him, his tail twined with his, "I don't want the silly rabbit. I want you." For a minute he couldn't speak, then he purred, "I want you too." And I don't need that strange cat to get you, because you love me anyways. They sat there for a few minutes, purring and grooming eachother. Until.... "MOMMA!" a shrill cry broke the peaceful scene. "Did you hear that?" said an alarmed Snowbridge, jumping up. "Yes I-" "MOMMA!" the yell came again, louder. Redfish got to his feet, "Let's go see what it is." They walked toward the cries which kept coming until they spotted a little brown form huddled on the mountain rock. "MOMMA!" it mewled. It was a tiny kit calling for it's mother. Fernstar was surprised when she saw Redfish and Snowbridge. "It's cries carried that far?" "Yes," said Snowbridge. "Gather your prey and head back to camp. Me and Rootclaw will see what we can do to help the poor thing," ordered Fernstar. Once they had gone she cautiously padded toward the kit, "Hello little one-" "DANGER!" screamed the kit, and it scurried away as fast as a mouse. Rootclaw tried to block the kit's path but it scurried down toward the beach instead. "Don't scare the poor thing!" she growled at her mate, amazed at his rashness. "I'm sorry," he replied, guiltily, "I thought I could slow it down so you could pick it up." She sighed, "it's alright, let's try again." Just then, she heard a deafening screech in the sky. "Hawk!" yelled Rootclaw. Fernstar rushed forward with all her speed and strength, and leaped toward the kit. Miraculously reaching them, she covered the kit with her body. He squeaked in fear and squirmed underneath her, trying to get away, she flattened herself further against the ground, trapping the kit for its own good. After what seemed like forever, Rootclaw called the coast clear. Cautiously, Fernstar got up, ready to grab the kit. But the kit scratched her muzzle with needle claws and scurried away. Frustrated, Fernstar was still about to try again when Rootclaw ran up to her panting, "There's foxes attacking the camp!" (Meanwhile, Lightkit has grown and is protecting his younger playmate Stonekit from the hawk)

(i think it makes the text plural, but they in this case is for people who don't use she or he pronouns- still could work tho

In this challenge you start of with one king or Queen looking to start a kingdom. They must quickly kind a space with at least 3 food sources within a 5-6 space radius. for the first generation they must invite in everyone they meet. Royal Rolls Basically this section is about where everyone is based of genetics. this is a list of titles from most importation to least. King or Queen (obviously) Princess or Prince Duchess or Duke ( siblings of current ruler) Noble villagers/Pleasants farmers servants Starting with the ruler, they have almost complete control and a bad one can reek havoc on the kingdom. they decide if you move islands, how much the kingdom focuses on agriculture or its military and typical ruler stuff. prince or princess are technically the second highest but they don't really have a lot of power except the crown prince or princess who is normally the oldest but feel free to alter this for story purposes. The amount of power a Duchess or Duke has is mostly based on their relationship with the ruler the same is true for nobles and if a duchess or duke has a argument or a bad relationship with the ruler they can be demoted normally down to Pleasants. So normally their top priority is staying the good graces of the ruler. all of their children become Nobles if they don't marry back into the royal line. Nobles are much the same as the Duchess or Dukes but if they have a lot of kids any after the 2nd or 3rd who don't marry back into another noble line or above become Pleasants, again feel free to change this for story purposes. Villagers and Farmers do most of the work and while they are 2 different classes they get lumped together a lot so basically they collect most of the berry's and food and then pay some of the food to the higher classes in taxes. Servants are any sickly, infertile or any other trait you deem not pleasant, they follow the higher classes around and clear grasses for them or tend to the children or all the other things that higher classes can not be bothered to do. Random events random events are rolled for every 5-10 days based on what you want and can be any thing from a rebellion, to extra taxes, or even a plague that kills half of your nichling's. I personally came up with 20 random events and then rolled a 20 sided die to determine what happened. Marriages and Arrangements The higher your class the more likely you are to arrange marriages and these can lead to some interesting drama. Every class try's to marry into a higher class so if a lower class ask for a arranged marriage in a higher class you have to flip a coin, tails yes, heads no,( with the exception of royal of course) I may write more later, but for now I hope you enjoy and feel free to ask questions! by the way I didn't have time to proof read so sorry for any grammar errors.

simple, just cry a lot 👍 uuhhh and study anatomy and all that crap i remember i just got some png of just,,a person, put it in a drawing program and lowered the opacity, then just drew over it with shapes n stuff to figure out what looked like what. it actually was really useful! also! doodling things frequently is really good! for some reason whenever i get into moods of like "draw! draw all the time!!!" then my brain just suddenly realizes how things are supposed to look. but im definitely not an advocate for forcing yourself to draw every day cos then youll just hate everything if you try and make yourself do that lol. but drawing regularly absolutely does help!

not checking them

Swatch my beloved <333

Honestly this whole thing started when I was like: "We should have all the original clans represented in the lineage cause they're all cool that would be cool." And then "Yeah cause it wouldn't rlly be Remnant Clan otherwise cause there wouldn't be a remnant of all the clans that died." And then I realized that couldn't happen cause Turtlemist wouldn't betray the code to have kits as a medicine cat. So I had to think of a good reason that he would have kits And I was like "Oh a message from Star Clan that would do it! But it would have to be pretty important and it should apply to everyone not just Turtlemist." And thus it was born and I rlly didn't think about what it meant or what the wrath of star clan even was it just sounded good (by good I mean dramatic) Now I'm thinking that it probably has something to do with the Star Clan cats who were from the clan of the cat with no decendants. It probably has to do with Star Clan fighting amongst themselves or that clan fading from the ranks of Star Clan and so Star Clan cannot protect the cats as well. Or that clan of Star Clan cats tries to kill off the rest of the living cats to prevent themselves from fading into...wherever cats go after Star Clan. Or maybe all of Star Clan are attacking the living cats just to avenge the clan that now is forever faded from existance even in the afterlife. I don't really know for sure.

still seems really stupid of starclan to get pissed at the cats they didnt tell anything about, like: "Hey they should have kids." "Do we tell them?" "lol no thatd make sense, were starclan" "Oh yeah right. and if they dont have kids we kill them"

(I mean in the books Star Clan only tells like one or 2 cats prophecies and they have to figure out what it means and do something about it. Like Firestar being the only one to have the vision about Tiger and Lion meeting in battle and blood ruling the forest. Also IDK why Fernstar wasn't telling Redfish he needed to hurry up and have children I guess she assumed that since he was in love with Snowbridge they'd get together eventually. Also she probably doesn't realise how old Redfish really is It's pretty much worked out all right the way Fernstar has descreetly dealt with it. Tho she coulda told everyone if she wanted to. Redfish is now the only one of the original 6 who hasn't had kits. Oh wait nvm Rootclaw exists but Fernstar is preggo so)

henlo lil guy!

Todays Nicheling!

e

I had a dream that I was playing Niche and planning to move from Whale Island to Frost Lands but then the game initiated travel on its own before i could set all nichelings on the port. The island was a glitchy version of frost lands with all tiles covered in grass and a whale model under it. There were also signs of human civilization in the skybox

(that's alright! life happens. Hope ur feeling better now! Being sick sucks)

(I hear you! I will try and name one of their kits Bluekit if it fits one of them at all. Also that would be epic, Redfish, Bluekit, color family)

(imma play it as them mating just after the fox fight, since all these moons of the fox fight are combined into one)

i had dream where i was a frog (or at least i had frog hands an feet) and i was in a white room on the ceiling. there was a table in the room with pink cake on it, and my parents were sitting at the table. i remember having a completely normal conversation about how rie seed flavor triscuts were cancelled. then i proceeded to yell "EAT MORE CAKE GOSH DARN IT. ITS GETTING C O L D ."

100% about to draw that

I can agree with philza here I am going to dropkick that child (in self defense) But seriously that lipsync is FLAWLESS /gen

YES DO IT I can give you nichelings

Made this in the span of like,, 30-40 minutes?? I need help IMG_6402.MP4

You could play it off as them mating earlier but they don't know she's pregnant yet

great idea! I'll probably add this to by own play thought!

Idk tbh- We'd have to get more ppl and decide it evenly

(pretty sure it makes it plural yeah AWWW THEYRE SO CUTE)

The tribe decides there's better places to go then this tiny island. Whoo!

Redé & Relenko give birth to a baby called Eve!

Think I'ma ask a friend if they wanna make a character to join Jara.

I have 3 younger sisters. One has played niche once or twice, the second I can't renember, the third is a baby and therefore can't play niche at all.

(feel free to do this btw cause I probably won't have time)

And big ears and grey/brown fur Perfect elephemt

"am i gonna get any context on what this game is about or is it just gonna keep filling trains with oil"

Actually I have not seen them irl, just in an online course. I have dreamed of many ppl from those online courses even if I have not met them irl. But I have seen them on my screen tho.

Don’t worry about courage, you should do it if you really want to do. Sounds like you might be pressuring yourself to make a decision. Maybe just take a few hours to relax, watch a movie, get your favorite snack. Also I bet your not alone. These are confusing times, no one will blame you.
