medicine cat

ELEVENTH RAIN No kits are born; Shimmerhorse tries to convince Tumblestar to become his mate, but Tumblestar would rather face the wrath of all of Starclan than be his mate. Sharpwhisker is near death, but he gives Tumblestar an important message before going to Starclan. "Leave the island," he states. "It is time for you to move on." TWELFTH RAIN The rain is spent burying Sharpwhisker, so the clan cannot move yet. Perhaps it is a good thing, however, for alone on the shore Tumblestar finds an abandoned kit. Though blind, she is a survivor, and Tumblestar nurses her back to health. Tumblestar names her Timberriver, for she is the color of dark wood and was found near the water. she does not let her vision keep her down, though, and still has aspirations. Timberriver and Tumblestar meet Sandyhorse. He's a skilled warrior, but is awkward around kits. THIRTEENTH RAIN The rain comes, and the clan moves on. Welcome to Jungle Gate.

SIXTH RAIN The tension does not really matter, for soon Junipershell dies of his sickness, and Sparrowface dies of old age. The rain is spent burying the two fallen warriors. A new male enters the clan. His name is Sharpwiskers, and he is a positive medicine cat. Mossrunner dies of old age and is promptly buried. SEVENTH RAIN Nobody mates, due to a lack of eligible pairs. At least it isn't long before another wanderer female enters the clan. Her name is Cherryshine. She's a bad hunter due to her compassion for prey... for some reason, but she loves her clan and kits. EIGHTH RAIN A wanderer male is seen on clan borders. His name is Shimmerhorse. He is extremely prideful, but is unskilled and argumentative. NINTH RAIN Cherryshine is now the only female. She feels like it would be wrong to mate with Crowstar, for he may still be in love with his old mate. She decides to become mates with Sweetdawn, who she feels has a good heart. They have a she-kit named Tumblebright. She shares the kindhearted nature of her parents She loves kits, is positive, and wants to help protect the clan in any way that she can. A predator attacks the clan! Crowstar is killed by the predator, knocking out his remaining six lives. The clan is devastated. TENTH RAIN The tenth rains arrive, but no kits are born. The clan is overwhelmed with grief. The only thing to happen is Furledspots, a chill and peaceful she-cat, joining the clan. However, Sharpwhisker receives a dream from Starclan, declaring Tumblebright as the next rightful leader. Shocked, he informs the clan, and Tumblebright shakily takes the place of her great-grandfather. What will happen next? Will she handle it?

in this edition (with inspiration from Larawolf): - the 9 lives feature, using console. - the warrior personality gen + warrior gene gen - rain challenge, where kits can only be born once it rains. Time will be marked by the rains as well instead of moons. - all wanderers are accepted into the clan, making food scarcity much more important. clan leaders will be automatic alphas. people who entered the tribe as wanderers will be omegas until reasonably trusted and established into the clan, and whoever is born into the clan's rank is chosen by the generator. - warriors must die a certain way. (in this rendition, i will make warriors die on top of places where you can dig up food. if the skeleton disappears before a hole is dug under the body, the warrior cannot enter Starclan and must roam either the dark forest or haunt the living bc im mean) The restrictions may sound confusing at first, but it'll be easy to follow along as we pick up speed. We will start in Tiny Green. Our starters are Crowshine and Spidertooth, optimistic cats from a clan where intimidation and survival were held upon a pedestal. They think that they are well prepared to start a clan life together. Crowshine moved territories because he didn't particularly like the rough-and tumble nature of his birth clan, and prefers stealth and tact. Spidertooth is a bad fighter and wasn't very popular in their original clan, so she came with Crowshine. Crowshine is renamed Crowstar and takes over the clan. FIRST RAIN Crowstar and Spidertooth think it is logical to become mates and rather like each other, so they have a kit of their own. The first kit born to the clan is Mossrunner. Mossrunner is a skilled hunter and has a confident attitude. While this wins her many friends, it gets her into many arguments and debates as well. SECOND RAIN Crowstar and Spidertooth have another she-kit. They call her Shredfall. She is only an average warrior, but overworks herself in hopes of excelling, which worries her parents. THIRD RAIN Crowstar and Spidertooth have their first son, whom they name Yellowstream. Yellowstream is an ambitious cat with great potential. Sparrowface enters the clan. He is a good warrior and likes kits, despite his intimidating appearance. FOURTH RAIN Spidertooth dies of old age, and Crowstar moves on to his second life of nine. The rains come that very day, reminding him even more of his solitude. The clan is too focused on burying their matriarch to have any kits of their own. A blind, sickly tom enters the clan and says that his name is Junipershell. He has great wisdom, but is distant from clan social activities for the most part. FIFTH RAIN The clan seems to be more accepting of the death of Spidertooth. They turn back to their social lives. Mossrunner becomes the mate of Sparrowface, and Junipershell and Shredfall have a kit after spending some time bonding together. Mossrunner and Sparrowface have Sweetdawn. Sweetdawn isn't the most skilled warrior, but he has the heart of a brave and kind one, through and through. Shredfall and Junipershell have Plumslip. He's an average warrior and loves his clan, but he has no desire for a higher calling. Junipershell's sickness spreads to Crowstar and Yellowstream. Crowstar is just fine, but the sickness kills Yellowstream. Shredfall tells Junipershell not to blame himself, but Mossrunner can't let it go so easily. How long will this tension last?

i died

oooh, i like your version of the challenge! mind if i try with your rules?

"Rookbranch will be my deputy," declares Birchstar to the ginger she-cat and her father. He expects some form of rebuttal from Morningshadow, but Morningshadow's eyes shine with nothing but pride. "I am so proud of how she has grown," Confesses Morningshadow to the ancient cream-colored tom. "She has worked so hard under your training. It's time she shows what she can do." To Birchstar's suprise, Rookbranch is filled with questions about leadership and what she will have to do. However, she is most interested in the special things about being a leader. "How far back are we related?" "Over many, many, many generations," Confesses Birchstar, flicking his tail. "I have seen many come before you. I must admit, it has been an adventure. You are not the first, and you will certainly not be the last. Especially when you have kits of your own." "What were your kits like?" Birchstar flattens his ears. It feels like forever to him since he last got to really think about them- Stoatsun, Fuzzypoppy, Treemist, and Swiftfur. He cannot dig too deep without feeling emotional, especially after something reminds him that in a matter of time he will be with them again in Starclan. He decides not to get into it. "The whole clan counts as my kits. Everyone here is under my responsibility." He quickly changes the subject. "Rookbranch." "Yes, Birchstar?" "When I die, I have an order for you. Get out of here. Take the clan and go to another island. This land is old, Rookbranch. We've been here for hundreds of moons. It is time to move on. I will be watching you. Have no fear." "Yes, Birchstar." The clan is joined by a wanderer female named Blizzardsun. She and Rookbranch become fast friends, and Blizzardsun becomes very attached to her, threatening to fight whoever comes near her or the territory in a threatening manner. Birchstar's time comes. Laying comfortably in a nest surrounded by undisturbed thorns, he finally sleeps. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Birchstar's eyes open slowly. He is in a blurry meadow. The distorted form of Yarrowleap is there, but she is not the Yarrowleap he remembers. Her fur is a red rather than the white he remembers in, and her jaw is slightly thinner. She seems to be a blend of the Yarrowleap he knew, and a Yarrowleap from long before. However, as his vision cleared, so did his memory. He understood. The cat he saw was the same one he knew in two lives. The same cat Brightclan was founded upon, the same cat who he woke up alongside on the island so many moons ago. They had made it through life together, twice, and finally the two of them could relax together. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ "We have to go," Rookstar informed Blizzardsun. "It is time." "But what about the territory?" Asked the paranoid she-cat. "It doesn't matter. A new territory awaits us beyond here." About a week's travel lands the duo in a new territory. Rookstar is on her second life now. They find a string of islands.

Hollymist grows up into a warrior. She mates with a friendly Bearyena. (because jinkies scoob i cant handle all these spit snouts). She has Fidgetblaze, a easygoing kit with a desire for adventure and to run. Fidgetblaze is mentored by Birchstar, now on his seventh life. Heavybrook enters the clan, an emotional she-cat with hopes to better the clan. She is attracted to Fidgetblaze, and together they have a kit of their own. Her name is Sweetmole. She isn't a popular cat, however, due to her strange appearance. Even so, she is loved well by Birchstar, for he believes in her. Birchstar encourages Fidgetblaze and Heavybrook to have another kit to help repopulate the clan, and they do. They have Tumblemouth, an outspoken she-cat. The clan is joined by a wanderer male named Morningshadow. He has a desire to be a great warrior and to bring peace to the clan. Tumblemouth likes his thoughts, so they have a kit. They name her Rookbranch. Rookbranch often butts heads with her parents, for she cares little about morals and peace, and would rather show rogues who's boss by fighting them off, tooth and claw. Birchstar goes to transition to his last life. He realizes that this means he must now decide who his successor is to be- he cannot live forever, and it's about time there's a new leader. He shifts his eyes onto each of the trio of cats that lay peacefully by the newborn kit's nest. Tumblemouth is one of his own kin. However, she cares more about being right than keeping the peace. Morals are more important than anyone's feelings to her. She would crush differing opinions in a clan. Meanwhile, Morningshadow has heartfelt, honorable aspirations. He has a big heart and desire for peace. But would he be able to stand up to an enemy when he needed to? And as for Birchstar- would he be able to hand his clan over to a cat who'd only been there a few moons? Rookbranch is only a kit, but she is the kin of Birchstar. She cares about defense and little about what is moral and what is not. She will put her clan first, but at what cost? Birchstar's heart is set on Rookbranch. He will make her his own apprentice, he decides, and he will teach her everything that she needs to know. He will announce her deputyship when she becomes a warrior, keeping it secret to all, even her, until then. Rookbranch will be the next leader of Brightclan.

They have Brokenminnow, an intimidating warrior she-cat. The clan is running low on food, and many are starving. Birchstar works to specifically keep himself and Brokenminnow alive, keeping his promise to Yarrowleap to continue her story. it's rough keeping the both of them fed and he has to get aggressive to keep her working, but the both of them keep going. Birchstar is on his fifth life now. Brokenminnow is mated with by a rogue male and has a kit. She has Seedpuddle, a positive kit with talent. The clan finds Slightscar, an apprentice. He is frightened in the rain and is taken in. He grows up with Seedpuddle, and falls in love with her due to her optimism. They become mates. They have Flybite, a peaceful cat. However, the celebration is short lived, for a predator comes after the clan. Seedpuddle leaps into battle, though she is still a queen. She sustains minor injuries but comes out, for the most part, unharmed. Another apprentice enters the clan. Her name is Sparkrose. She is grateful for being let into the clan and is a stalwart defender of it- even if she gets TOO angry sometimes. Birchstar is now on his sixth life. She and Flybite have a kit. She is named Seedfoot, after the likeness to her grandmother. She is a below average warrior, which frustrates her. However, it increases her attraction to a wanderer named Frostpad, an athlete, who comes in when she is also a warrior. They have Hollymist, an anxious she-kit who wants t be like her father.

Depends on their age,aesthetic, immunity, andhow bad i need new blood. probably ignore it I always check my gene immunity before i breed, but usually i kill or banish them if it does ever somehow happen. Fight it off and suffer the consequences. Depends on how old they are. Tame it! I love bearyena genes.

Softswing encounters a wanderer male named Rotbreeze. He focuses on intimidating cats to cover up the fact he's a pretty lackluster warrior aside from his hunting prowess. Softswing has a kit with him, which they name Stagblossom. She is intimidating and ambitious, and is mentored by her father. Birchstar finds an apprentice-aged tom in the rain. He is terrified, and says that his name is Lostspots. He begs for the mercy of Birchstar, which Birchstar was going to give anyway. He's not a good warrior, but tries to remain positive. Birchstar takes pity on him and mentors him himself. Softswing has another she-kit with Rotbreeze, which she names Shadowflame. Shadowflame seems grumpy, but she has the capability of being a great medicine cat who will strengthen the clan. Stagblossom and Lostspots become mates, attracted to each other by their opposing personalities. What will it look like?

A female cat approaches the clan. Her name is Jumpcrimson. She is a medicine cat. However, will that stop her from having a mate? Nope. She falls in love with Leopardhaze, and they have a beautiful she-kit, who they name Twigshell. She is a peacemaker cat who wants to have a big family. She is mentored by Leopardhaze. Birchstar reprimands Jumpcrimson for not keeping the warrior code, but he must admit, he is glad that Leopardhaze had a kit. His own kits are old and have died, so to see Leopardhaze extend the line is a relief. The clan decides that it is time to move on. Birchstar, now on his third life, readies the clan to move to the next island. Aloha from Grass Adventure. Not long after arrival, Jumpcrimson finds a blind apprentice wandering around in search of food. She takes her in. Her name is Meadowwave. Despite being blind, she is a skilled hunter. She is irritable, but is very skilled at hiding it. Twigshell finds a wanderer male while patrolling one day, and lets him into the clan. His name is Riverrose. Riverrose is an average warrior, but STRONGLY encourages peace and pacifism. This isn't so much as for morals as it is for him being afraid of battle. Despite his disposition, Twigshell still admires him for his desire for peace and they become mates. She has Softswing. Softswing has a high moral standard and a connection with Starclan. This makes her rather introverted and antisocial, but she means the best. She is mentored by Birchstar. Twigshell dies, and Riverrose has a kit with Meadowwave. They have a kit named Buzzardpaw. Buzzardpaw is a bad fighter, so she spends her time focusing on being a good hunter and trying to prevent arguments so she'll never have to fight. She is mentored by Riverrose. Birchstar is now on his fourth life. Can he keep up with his clan?

this is super late, but this just happened. black magic.

ahhh, i love her!!! thank you so much ❤️

"I'm going back," Birchstar declares quietly. Yarrowleap's ears prick forward. "Birchstar, we've been here for hundreds of moons now. There's no reason for us to go back. Everyone we care about is here." "I'm aware," He sighs, shifting on his paws. "But our work isn't done. I can't just... leave the story at that." He raised his coal-black eyes to hers. "But I'm not going without you. I'm not letting your story and our kits get cut short. Not again." Yarrowleap flattens her large ears in thought for a moment. "Fine, then. I'll go with you." ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Birchbright woke up on the shore. His head ached terribly, as if he had hit it on something. He remembered nothing but his name. Heck, he didn't even remember the breathing lump of white laying beside him, seemingly in the same situation as he. As if the heap of fur heard him thinking about her, she lifted her head and looked at him, as if she faintly recognized him, but with another shake of her head the familiarity was gone. "Where are we?" Yarrowleap asked the tom, to which he could only shrug in bewilderment. "Don't ask me, I don't know. Who are you?" "Yarrowleap." "I'm.. I'm Birchbright." "Do you remember anything from before?" "Not in the slightest." Yarrowleap got to her feet, the gears in her mind churning. "We're both apprentices. Small enough to get picked up by a bird, perhaps." She looked up at him. "Even if we do remember wherever we are from, we're never going to be able to go back to our original clan. So we'll start our own." Birchbright wasn't complaining at such a suggestion. The female was pretty, and seemed to know what she was doing slightly more than he. "You'll be Birchstar. Clan leader." The two of them grow up together, until they are both strong warriors. They decide to have a kit together- they like each other, for one, and it's not like there's any other options. Their first kit is Stoatsun. She's a social butterfly and a good fighter, but not the best hunter... or much of anything else. Stoatsun becomes an apprentice, and Yarrowleap convinces Birchstar to apprentice her so she can have another kit and apprentice it. He agrees, though he does wonder why she insists on having kits so fast. They have Fuzzypoppy. Fuzzypoppy wants to help the clan become peaceful, and she loves taking care of younger clan members. Both of the she-cats grow up into warriors, and it isn't long before Yarrowleap plans on another kit. Birchstar agrees, and they have another kit. "I know you like kits, but... Why so many?" He asks lightheartedly. Yarrowleap looks at him. "I.. I feel like I'm missing something, Birchstar. Or at least, I'm going to." "We have plenty of food and everything. What do you mean?" "Like I'm not going to leave a legacy behind. I will have nothing. I need to leave something. Whatever we did before we arrived here... I feel like I was incomplete before then." "You're complete, Yarrowleap." Yarrowleap has a tom this time. His name is Treemist. He is alluring and wants to uphold the warrior code, but often falls into bouts of depression and insecurity. He is mentored by his mother. Yarrrowleap has one more kit, who she calls Swiftfur. Swiftfur wants to have peace and to be a great warrior. She is mentored by Fuzzypoppy. The clan is approached by Quietpool. Quietpool isn't an intimidating cat, and he knows it. This makes him envious of Birchstar, who is respected and popular with all. At least he is comforted by Fuzzypoppy, who he takes a liking to. He asks her to become his mate, which she agrees to. She hands the responsibility of mentorship over to Treemist. Birchstar knows that Yarrowleap is old and will die soon. The two of them thus spend a lot of time together, for he dreads the day she returns to Starclan. "Are you still afraid of not making your mark? You're expecting grandkits now. You have four healthy kits who are warriors. I promise you, your story will be told for hundreds of moons." "I don't think I'm afraid anymore, Yarrowleap. A life with you has been a life I would never replace. I feel like I have known you forever." With that, her eyes spark with memory, and she looks into Birchstar's eyes one last time. "What is it?" He asks, but Yarrowleap cannot articulate what she has to say. She smiles the most relieved smile, and stops breathing for the last time. Birchstar himself transitions to his second life, and when he returns, Fuzzypoppy is there with her newborn kit to greet him. His name is Leopardhaze. He's a tad scatterbrained, so he's not the best hunter or fighter. However, he's a good leader and has a desire to make others smile. He is apprenticed by Birchstar.

Well, I bet I could throw her in here somewhere if you like... ;3

I said that Birchstar and Yarrowleap can be reincarnated together, since they're mates. People seemed to like Yarrowleap, too, so I thought it'd be better to have both Yarrowleap and Birchstar than just Puddlemoon, who had the same vote number as Birchstar. vwv

it's decided then! Yarrowleap and Birchstar will come back.. together!

giving this a gentle nudge before bed: whoever has the most votes when i wake up will be reincarnated. :3

Yep! it's included in the gens i posted. However, if you'd rather have the list, I can send you a doc with a copy of it.

forgot to share this. made a lineage chart of the clan.

Okay, so I'm continuing with this challenge, and since my clan died, I'm starting over with the same bloodline. My only problem? I need help deciding who to reincarnate! Here's our starting couple. Beauties, aren't they? Choose the cat(s) from the previous clan you like the best, and the one (or two...) with the most votes will be reincarnated! INFO ON EACH NICHELING: OPTION 1: BIRCHSTAR Ah, the man who started it all. Started from the bottom and made a clan of his own. Maybe he should be the one to start the clan over? Naive, optimistic, and welcoming. (can be reincarnated alone or with his mate, Yarrowleap) OPTION 2: YARROWLEAP Loved Birchstar more than life itself and helped him found the clan. What would happen if she was the leader? Hardworking. (Can be reincarnated alone or with her mate, Birchstar) OPTION 3: BRIGHTCOPY (pictured at far right) Prophecied by Maplewhiskers to one day be an important part of the clan. He died without fulfilling this prophecy. Maybe reincarnation is what Maplewhiskers meant? Good warrior, wishes to be known as unique. OPTION 4: BRIARSTAR (Pictured left) The last leader of the clan, life cut short by a predator. Maybe she should continue her reign? Moral, talented. (Can be reincarnated alone or with her mate, Clearjaw.) OPTION 5: BRIGHTFANG (Pictured far left) Born half-bearyena, half-nicheling. Distrustful and bitter due to the stigma that came with his lineage. Maybe another shot at life will give him a chance to prove himself. OPTION 6: PUDDLEMOON (Pictured left) The last kit born before the clan's end. Neurotic, but talented.

oooh, lemme think... - Definitely write as you go. You'll have much better, accurate details if you write things as they happen rather on looking back. I legit just write them on here and post them as soon as I think the post is long enough. - Take a break when you need it! You'll write much better if you're not tired of what you're writing. - Don't be afraid to refer back to your own notes. Write about personalities of cats as they are born or enter the clan, and then you can look back on them later if you want to think of how they'd react to a specific situation. Have fun and if you do it, I'd love to see! I love reading these sorts of things!

I'm going to be continuing with the same bloodline since I really like this story. Be sure to vote for who you want reincarnated when I get it up!

Quickstar isn't much concerned about wether she goes to Starclan sooner or later, until death is right in front of her face. She goes to share dreams with Starclan, and moves to her fifth life. She almost loses it, though, when a predator spots her by herself. She narrowly escapes him and makes her way home, hoping she is not followed. Clearjaw and Briarcry have had another kit- A she-cat named Foggycreek. Foggycreek is a sweet, emotional cat with love for all, even the meanest of cats. The clan keeps moving. However, Quickstar senses an eerily familiar scent. The Bearyena that had chased her before was back- with two other fully grown bearyenas! The clan was under attack! Luckily, everyone suffered minor scratches... Except for Quickstar, unfortunately, who was gravely wounded. Quickstar steps down from her position as clan leader and orders Briarcry to take her place while she enjoys her waning moons. Foggycreek mates with a friendly bearyena. She has Brightfang. Brightfang is subject to some bullying due to the fact that he is half-bearyena. This makes him distrustful of a lot of his clan. Many clan members get old until it is just Briarstar, Foggycreek and Brightfang. After over fifty years on the island, the clan moves on. Only Briarstar remains, and she is on her third life. She begins to give up hope when she comes across a wanderer male named Wildsound. The two of them become mates and have a kit. Briarstar finds that the kit is albino, just like her father was. For this, she names her Puddlemoon. Puddlemoon is talented, but is very paranoid. The island is soon cleared after arriving there, so Briarstar, now on her fourth life, moves to the next island, bringing Puddlemoon with her. While Briarstar is excited for a new change of scenery, Puddlemoon is very uncomfortable in a new environment and wishes that she could go back home. To calm her, Briarstar tells her stories of Brightclan when she used to live on the old island- the one she was on before Puddlemoon was born. She told her of Quickstar, of Clearjaw; of her father, Quietmoon. Puddlemoon especially likes hearing stories of her grandfather. Puddlemoon dies, and once again, Briarstar is alone. She takes on a bearyena, but it knocks out her remaining lives. She goes to Starclan and reunites with her family.
