I Bless The Rains (Playthrough)


medicine cat

Recommended Posts

I'm going to be doing this challenge, since i wanted to shake up my warriors challenge. It will have the same fundamental rules as my warrior challenge, EXCEPT:
* Clan leaders' names will end in -storm, not -star, and cannot have nine lives since the whole no-console thing.
* Medicine cats focus on cloud movement and get prophecies in the thunder and lightning.
* Starclan will instead be called Clan Of Clouds.
* I'll be starting on tiny green, for kicks. 

Our founding pair is Goosecreek and Tinystorm. Goosecreek is a clever, gregarious warrior who is quick to fight. Her mate, Tinystorm, on the other hand, is a peaceful, skilled hunter who can be a bit possessive. Tinystorm felt called to be here and start his own clan. Goosecreek would do anything for her mate, so she came with him.

They wish to have kits to have their first family, but Tinystorm had a dream from the Clan of Clouds that he cannot have a kit until it rained. He passed on the message to Goosecreek, and the two waited patiently for the rains to come. The rains indeed came. Goosecreek quickly prepared a nest, and Tinystorm gathered more resources for the new addition to the clan.
Goosecreek gives birth to a healthy tom named Sootbee. Though a bit grouchy, he is an alluring warrior who Tinystorm senses potential in.

It was not long before the second rain, for Sootbee was still a young apprentice when it came He was sent on patrol and stumbled across Midgepeak. Though very talented, she was quite bossy and an intolerant she-cat. Even so, she had nowhere else to go, so she joined the clan.

With the next day came the next kit, a daughter of Goosecreek and Tinystorm. She was named Soilfur. Though very talented and has promise concerning leadership, she is a bit unstable.
928678439_ScreenShot2018-11-15at3_54_33PM.png.995eda12bde461cc4571ea4b38be5a70.png
Soon comes the third rain. Midgepeak convinces Sootbee to be her mate, and she rests on a nest already in clan territory. Goosecreek and Tinystorm suggest they are too old to have another kit. Midgepeak has Twigpad- a fickle, obnoxious and aloof kit. Soilfur jokes that he gets such traits from his mother, which Midgepeak doesn't take very well.

Goosecreek and Tinystorm die, and like they sent it from the clouds themselves, it rains. Sootbee, now Sootstorm, has another kit with Midgepeak. This time, they have a daughter- Havenripple. Havenripple naturally has a talent for spirituality, and it is decided that she will be the clan's first medicine cat.

Midgepeak dies, and rain follows. Havenripple confides in her father, telling him that in the thunder of the storm she heard the Clan in Clouds. She announced that the Clan in Clouds wishes for Soilfur to have a kit with Twigpad. The two agree, and they have a kit- Rollingstream. Though argumentative, Rollingstream is quick to forgive and is rather brave.

The fifth rain befalls the land. Soilfur and Twigpad have a son- Falconhorse. He is carefree, charismatic, and has potential to be a great warrior.

The clan is approached by Minnowplum, a jolly rogue male who wishes to join. It doesn't take long for him to be accepted. Soon he is followed by his sister, Gorsespring. She is very dependent on him, due to her multiple instabilities.

How will the clan learn to live with each other with these two new additions? Sootbee is getting older. Who will be his successor? To be continued...

Sootstorm sets Minnowplum to lead, and his name is changed to Minnowstorm. Sootstorm dies and sends rain. Despite the new members, no one seems particularly interested in having kits besides Soilfur and Twigpad. They have Dandelionfawn, a kit with a slightly lighter pelt than Rollingstream. She is cynical, but would be a great warrior.

Meanwhile, Clawleaf, an apprentice-aged she-cat, is found on clan borders, She is eccentric and patient.

She is followed by Lionwillow. She is humble, a good fighter, and shows leading potential.

Minnowstorm dies, and names Rollingstream- now Rollingstorm- as the next clan leader. It isn't long before Rollingstorm is approaced by Havenripple, a now seasoned medicine cat. Havenripple has seen things in the clouds, and states that the Clan in Clouds is urging them to move islands. Though reluctant to leave the land of her grandfather, she understands, and orders the clan to be ready for departure by the next rain. Like clockwork, the next rain comes, and the clan knows that it is their time to move. Led by Rollingstorm, they begin to trek to a new territory.
Twigpad, close to death,  orders that he will be staying in his homeland for his transition to the Clan in Clouds. Rollingstorm is brokenhearted at such a suggestion from her father, but obeys his final wishes. She takes one last look at the island before disappearing across the stones. An old Gorsespring dies along the way, but the rest of the clan makes it there in one piece.
1716072639_ScreenShot2018-11-15at8_08_20PM.png.601e70cc8c195590395aae9edc54b02d.png
Havenripple dies after some time on the new island, and Rollingstorm, with a tinge of guilt, worries that Havenripple's message from Clan in Clouds may have been incorrect. Her fears are relieved, however, when shortly after her death, there is rain. Falconhorse takes Clawleaf as his mate, and thus comes forth the clan's first kit on the new island. They have Rustleberry, a quarrelsome and easily distracted she-cat.
1892576450_ScreenShot2018-11-15at8_20_29PM.png.eeed61535721a4b842c30dca6283b027.png
Rollingstorm dies and Dandelionfawn is made the next leader, now Dandelionstorm.
The tenth and eleventh rains strike the clan. Clawleaf and Falconhorse have died, so no kits are born. Dandelionstorm, now old herself, instructs Rustleberry firmly on how to properly be leader. Rustleberry is by no means qualified, but Dandelionstorm takes what she can get and entrusts Rustleberry with the ownership of the title Rustlestorm.
The rain continues until after Rollingstorm's death, like a prolonged gift from the Clan in Clouds- one of hope. Amidst the rain Rustlestorm comes across Crimsondusk, a hesitant and distractable warrior. 
1076751697_ScreenShot2018-11-15at8_31_39PM.png.272c7627d6fafba6f31201174624e4de.png
After he comes Beechhaze, a sour-tempered tom with a soft spot for Rustlestorm.
736736567_ScreenShot2018-11-15at8_34_47PM.png.d5c9b9b5d6110767fcca012459fdc068.png
With him comes the thirteenth rain. Beechhaze is asked to be Rustlestorm's mate, and he agrees. They have Thunderswoop, an abrasive trickster.
15623562_ScreenShot2018-11-15at8_37_38PM.png.b1018314ca5610b565c389cbfab15f8f.png
Rustlestorm chooses Beechhaze to be the next leader, to Thunderswoop's dismay. Rustlestorm dies.
The next rain comes. No kits are born, but Crimsondusk sure finds one. In the rain on clan border, Crimsondusk comes across a terrified wet kit- nearly newborn. Never having had a kit himself, he takes her in as his own. He names her Turtlesnow. Turtlesnow has a natural affinity for medicine cat work.

Now comes the fifteenth rain, but due to Turtlesnow's medicine cat-hood, she cannot mate. How will the clan expand? To be continued...

The sixteenth rain comes, and the situation is the same. Thunderswoop demands answers from the Clan in Clouds, but Turtlesnow cannot explain the situation. To make matters worse, Beechstorm dies, and Thunderstorm is even more controlling. Along comes Applestem, a humble and cynical cat. He is kind and sees the clan is having a rough time, so he joins to help out.
527998268_ScreenShot2018-11-15at8_49_54PM.png.b22923138040f0b342612e5b82e4f70d.png
The seventeenth rain hits the clan. No longer patient with the Clan in Clouds, Thunderstorm demands that Turtlesnow get into an arranged matehood wtih him and raise a kit for the clan. Turtlesnow viciously declines, and Applestem backs her up. 
It isn't long before an apprentice-aged she-cat wanders into the clan. Her name is Dovewish. She is talented but rather inconsiderate.
165408099_ScreenShot2018-11-15at8_56_21PM.png.a98ec9ce60eb8208a0100bc001ab3705.png
Soon after comes Longsky. She is silly, but her laziness can be quite annoying at times.
497836640_ScreenShot2018-11-15at8_58_33PM.png.4e83f1fb04612bb6d92d218a478d296f.png
The eighteenth rain strikes. Dovewish mates with Thunderstorm. Thunderstorm, close to death, names her the next clan leader out of favoritism. She has Spikefrost. Spikefrost is a great fighter and has leading capability, but also has commitment issues.
1547414837_ScreenShot2018-11-15at9_02_20PM.png.3db21da7784a620d3f2e33465840bc4e.png
Spikefrost is on patrol when he stumbles across Fleetpuddle, a rogue male who wishes to join the clan. He is a bold, family-oriented cat.
1964300600_ScreenShot2018-11-15at9_08_07PM.png.d597f6d1baa04617a1ef1309e164bb34.png
The nineteenth rain hits the land, but nobody takes interest in each other. Soon, Cloverear, a rogue female, joins the clan. She is mature, aloof, and a bit vain.
1569479792_ScreenShot2018-11-15at9_12_26PM.png.97ff7d0e5feb347aa589a90e8888cc3b.png
After that, an apprentice-aged cat wanders into the clan. He has great potential and wants kits, though he is a bit untrusting. His name is Fallenwhiskers.
172643406_ScreenShot2018-11-15at9_14_17PM.png.540af1a4246fad294aae6e2a0e586437.png
The twentieth and twenty-first rains come. Spikestorm is now leader, and Cloverear chooses him to be her mate. They have Goldenspring, an enthusiastic she-kit, and Snailrain, a carefree tom-kit.

How will Spikestorm's rule go? To be continued...

I started playing your version of the challenge, and on the third day my creatures found a infertile baby girl, who was probably kicked out of her tribe--, er, Clan, because she can't breed. She sacrificed herself to a Bearyena while she was still recovering from two other Bearyena attacks, but her Spiky Body helped a lot and we were able to kill them all. Then my creature Softflight found a wanderer who has a wing. His name is SoftFLIGHT. Nice prediction there, generator. So now we have Wings on day 19...

Welcome back to the clan.
Fallenwhisker has taken over after Spikestorm's death and is now named Fallenstorm.
A predator strikes the clan on the twenty-second rain! The clan fights it off, luckily. Unfortunately, however, Snailrain is gravely wounded and is forced into early retirement as an elder. Despite this, Clan in Clouds shows mercy and extends the rains another day. Fallenstorm and Goldenspring have a kit within this time, Eelleg, named for her deformed paws. She is extroverted, loves to explore, and wants kits.
322307867_ScreenShot2018-11-16at6_03_14PM.png.be5064ca8794d2341d26da88b1de5ae3.png
Another rain comes, and Fallenstorm and Goldenspring have another kit- this time, a tom. They name him Wishpelt, and he becomes medicine cat.
9145433_ScreenShot2018-11-16at6_14_52PM.png.36d0d99bc7f8a95de526cf44ec12e207.png
Fallenstorm dies, and Eelleg takes over, now Eelstorm. Soon after, the Twenty-fourth rain arrives, along with Ferndawn- an eager, albeit dim she-cat. She mates with Snailrain, and they have a whopping litter of three kits(one on the first day, two on the second)! The only problem is that Snailleg dies of old age, which leaves her the mother of three kits with only Eelstorm and Wishpelt to help her keep track of them all.
The oldest kit is a tom named Risingdawn, named after his mother because he is her pride and joy. He is naive and has an excitable heart.
The middle kit is Pricklemask, a seemingly melanistic she-cat. She is serious at first, but is rather excitable and ready for an adventure once she gets to know someone.
The youngest kit with horns is named Spiketoe. She is hesitant, but she has an air about her that attracts strangers to her.
Here is mother and kits:
558366660_ScreenShot2018-11-16at6_23_11PM.png.e3995900e4a189ea18659e052b4b2dd6.png
The twenty-fifth rain comes, and Wishpelt hears in the clouds the promise of an interesting future for the kits, now apprentices. He witholds this prophecy to himself, even when their mother dies and they are full-grown.
Now comes the twenty-sixth rain. Eelstorm takes Risingdawn as her mate, and they have a kit. She is named Minnowspeck, and while she can be loud, she is rather humble and has a hard time taking compliments.
803060402_ScreenShot2018-11-16at6_31_30PM.png.3c4b80da70054a6a0edfed10576f4f15.png
Another rain comes. Eelstorm and Risingdawn has another kit, but Eelstorm dies giving birth, leaving Risingdawn to care for it. He is named Ivyflame, and seems to be interested in Wishpelt's work as a medicine cat. Delighted, Wishpelt takes him in as his apprentice. Pricklestorm becomes the new leader in place of Eelstorm.
1961774115_ScreenShot2018-11-16at6_40_22PM.png.624834c07d3471e6efaeaa49491126f4.png
Wishpelt dies, and when the rains come, an unsure Ivyflame is calmed. This is his job. This is what he was meant to do.
Another rain comes some time later. The three siblings have died, leaving only Ivyflame and Minnowspeck. That is, until a new apprentice-age cat shows up. Her name is Featherpelt. Though forgetful, she is a good leader and one day wants kits.
1329513018_ScreenShot2018-11-16at6_51_54PM.png.32202c0cd235d4be5dac94b771cebf82.png
Another rain comes, and it warns Ivyflame of danger. To his horror, a predator indeed shows up on clan territory, ready for an attack. The three cats in the clan fight tooth and nail against him, taking him down. Minnowstorm commends Ivyflame for his spot-on prediction and tells him that he must truly be in touch with the Clan In Clouds.
Minnowstorm dies, and Featherpelt takes over.
She is barely leader when she finds a terrified kit, wandering on clan borders. She goes after her, but the kit is too afraid and runs quickly as she can away. She asks Ivyflame to fetch the kit, and he manages to coax her toward him. Though seemingly coming from a traumatic situation, the kit becomes eager to know about the clan and to play. She is named Scorchstripe.
The thirtieth rain comes, and no eligible mate for Featherstorm is in sight. How will she carry on the clan? To be continued..

Welcome back to the clan.
Ivyflame has died. The clan is approached by a new male- Dusklight. Dusklight is a spectacular fighter, but is very hesitant to fight and tries to make friends with everyone. He is sickly and has a pure heart.
1069653523_ScreenShot2018-11-16at7_19_05PM.png.c82d658b62830e728d9201f68f8bdf81.png
Rain comes. Featherstorm has a kit with Dusklight, being on the brink of death herself. She has Scorchstripe swear that she will care for her daughter in the same way that she took Scorchstripe in. She gives birth to Puddlesplash, a flirtatious (but fickle) and bold tom who wants kits.
Scorchstripe takes over as Scorchstorm before dying herself, leaving Puddlestorm to lead as a young warrior.
Luckily, it doesn't take too long for Puddlestorm to find Mudsnow. Mudsnow is a perfect balance between logical and emotional, making her a great leader. They become good friends.
932913745_ScreenShot2018-11-16at7_30_33PM.png.78ad3284f6fc80301fc36ee1c2aef43a.png
Mudsnow sees little resources between the two of them, and she suggests that they leave the island. Reluctantly, Puddlestorm follows her lead, though his clan had been on the island so long he barely had any knowledge of the Tiny Green island that the clan was founded on. He warily lets her lead the way and take him to a new place. The thirty-second or so rain over him lets him know that he is indeed doing the best thing for the clan, as well as the thirty-third rain when he hits the new island. He dies peacefully near the shore, leaving Mudstorm.
Mudstorm, meanwhile, starts exploring the new island when she finds a rogue male. Feeling it would be a good way to expand the clan, she mates with him and waits for the next rain.
The thirty-fourth rain comes, and Mudstorm settles into a nest. She has Whiskersplash, a lazy, honest she-cat who one day wants kits. Mudstorm tells her that as long as she is lazy, she will never have kits or raise them correctly. Harsh. One day on patrol, Whiskersplash finds Thrushmane, a sickly cat. Though sickly, he has a kind heart and is taken in.
210544237_ScreenShot2018-11-16at7_44_53PM.png.0efb1c90ac39ad3442c0f4179a0f5d0b.png
Mudstorm dies and makes Whiskerstorm leader. She and Thrushmane grow up together, keeping relatively close due to the large birds overhead. Unfortunately, it isn't too long before Thrushmane succumbs to his illness and dies. Whiskerstorm, too, catches the disease, and joins Clan in Clouds.

Well, that's the challenge! I'll do it again on a different starting island, and expect some character art.
