Filling the Ranks--An Rp Contest

[tricksterthought]

That angry little cat, Tinyshade, has popped out a whole litter of kittens! As it would turn out, the clan has gotten some peace and quiet for once, as Tinyshade takes care of her kits. As it turns, their mother is terribly protective and believes that her wonderful little balls of fluff can do no wrong, and woe to whomever tries to tell her otherwise.
Their 'Uncle' Grinjaw has been watching over them as well, in a much calmer manner, happy to teach the little babes about the world. And their father....

[Catching Paper Stars]

Kit Applying For: Kitten 2
Warrior Name: Dappleshade
Personality: A bit meek and shy, but with a burning curiosity in all things. However, their shyness makes it hard for them to follow through with a lot of the things they'd like to do, and are often the last to 'jump into' a new situation. That doesn't mean they don't want to, though, and will need a strong friend and companion to help them break out of their timid shell.

The reason for their shyness may come from an overambitious adventure they had as a tiny kit, taking them from a curious furball to a more calm, but often anxious little tyke, totally willing to help plan adventures, but as soon as it comes time to actually go on the adventure, they're likely to hang back.
Future Plots: *Will message you with one important plot idea that's kinda super secret with one of my kitties~* Don't want to give too much away with them for other people yet razz

*Romance~ The little kit with a big heart may find a brash young she-cat with a taste for getting into trouble he'd fall head over heels for, but going about courting her would often leave him tongue-tied and flustered, with lots of little starting attempts to make friends, but most likely often getting left by the wayside, out shined by his compatriots. It would take a lot of mustered courage for him to invite her to hunt with him, and even then, he'd be quite happy to just be in her company. *further stuff would have to be figured out between the RP partner biggrin *

*Adventure~ Ever cautious, but growing more bold as he gets older (not by much, lol) he'd be one of the first to alert the clan to trespassers or strange findings to the clan, but what if there wasn't time to travel back? Forced to handle the situation on his own, he may find himself trekking into other clans territories, or beyond into the world of twolegs.

*pssst, just read the end time... did you mean May?*  

[tricksterthought]

Kit Applying For: Kit 4
Warrior Name: Smudgepaw/Tornthroat
Personality: As an apprentice he was very shy but trained hard, he loved his clan and followed the code to the bone.

Future Plots: Smudgepaw was just outside the camp. Hearing the cats of another clan approaching he ran, trying to alert the camp, letting the invasion known to his fellow Clanmates. Fighting with all the strength the had, it was no match for the two warriors who had pinned him. One going for his throat to silence his warnings.
When his Clanmates thought he was on his way to join StarClan, they decided to give him his warrior name, so they may take him as such. The leader thought it appropriate to do this, for they had won the battle because of this apprentice and the warnings that he was able to give out.
"I ask my warrior ancestors to look down upon this apprentice. He has learned the warrior code and has given up his life in the service of his Clan. Let StarClan receive him as a warrior. He will be known as Tornthroat, so StarClan will remember how they allowed him to be taken from us."
What the clan never knew is that Tornthroat would live, rebound and grab hold of life, and take the name that was given. And the clan would have to live with what they named him~  

[NymiiNym]

Kit Applying For: 4 or 2 (I like 4 more honestly)
Warrior Name: Littlefeather
Personality: Littlefeather is tiny, extremely tiny. She both gets her size and temper from her mother, being quick to anger. Despite this, Littlefeather is a pretty sweet cat who wants the whole world as her friend, she just... gets annoyed easily. She can't help it, honestly. No really, she literally can't help it. She just is quickly annoyed, though doesn't act too much on it other than pouting. Due to how easy it is to upset her she basically pouts constantly. Hey, it's better than yelling.

She's incredibly stubborn, as well. She'll stamp her tiny foot down and not budge if you try and make her budge. Fairly passionate as well, once Littlefeather is interested she runs straight into an activity.

Fun fact: Littlefeather has no desire to listen to anyone she doesn't respect. Her clan leader she'll respect, as well as her mentor, but anyone else? They have to earn it.

Future Plots:
- As a kit she'll throw tantrums a lot. I want someone older to come by and whip her into shape and make her the better-mannered cat she's meant to be.
- I also want Littlefeather to fall in-love twice. Her first crush will be unobtainable at first for whatever reason. This will cause a broken heart, and eventually she'll fall for a cat outside of her clan. What a big no-no! She'll get pregnant, and her first crush will lie and say they're his to protect her. Yup. Drama. I love it <3
- She'll probably end up taking care of kits shortly after, finding that her calling is to defend children.
- I have noooo idea after this.

Note: I couldn't choose between 2 or 4, and while 4 is my first choice I also would adore 2 if you think you rather I have that one <3  

[Blinded By My Silence]

Name: Trickclaw
Personality: Trickclaw is cocky little a*****e with a violent streak and a taste for blood. He's small, about the size of an apprentice, but do not mention it, because he will not take it sitting down. No, call him short or any variation of the word and you will quickly find yourself on your back with some fur missing. Trickclaw is proud, c**k, and thinks himself better than a clan cat, or any cat for that matter. There is no honor code holding him back, and there is nothing that Trickclaw likes more than beating up cats, especially those who are bigger than him.
Brief History: Trickclaw has lived in his territory by the twoleg place in the mountains for as long as he remembers. He's spent his life batting around the Fluffy's and the Oscar's and the Kiki's, anyone who looked at him wrong felt it weeks later. There was nothing he hated more than kittypets. That is, until the clan cats came along, thinking themselves so high and mighty with their honor code and their patrols. He'll show them. So he's been lurking around Shadow Clan's borders, waiting, just waiting for one to wander out on their own.
How he did it: What he didn't expect was his victim to be a she-cat. He was hesitant at first, but refused to underestimate her just because of her gender. Determined to prove that he was better than a clan cat, he ambushed her while she was hunting. He expected her to run and cry like the house cats, but no, she fought back with as much vim and vigor as he did. Slowly the fight became more and more fun, he was reveling in the challenge she posed. And as they both stopped to catch their breath, he told her that she was the best fight he'd ever had.

Kit Applying For: #4
Warrior Name: Wandershade
Personality: Tinyshade's temper has been molded and directed into a force of determination in this little kit. Wandershade is best known for, well, wandering off. Curiosity is the name of the game here. The kit will pursue any means to find what it seeks, whether it's following that butterfly, or trying to figure out how deep that hole in the ground is. When it comes to other felines, Wandershade is generally friendly, though her nature may cause her attention to stray in the middle of a conversation.
Future Plots: They say curiosity killed the cat. Definitely no killing in mind, but putting one's nose into whatever one finds interesting can lead to all kinds of adventures!
I'm new to the thread though, so more explorations of the clans and things will yield more of the endless opportunities for the cutie!  

[mewmew kittykat94]

Kit Applying For: 1
Warrior Name: Oakfall
Personality: "Sturdy" would be a good way to put it. He's stubborn and unmovable, but offers his own kind of protection for those who need it. He's very relaxed and rarely becomes angry. To some, he seems lazy, but he's just... overly calm. Even as a kit, he wasn't that playful, he enjoyed listening to the Elder's stories.
Anger though, that's where he recieved his name. When that temper spikes, its an uproar like an old oak falling. Dangerous to those around.
Future Plots:
-Family time. Self explainatory, but I'd really like sometime with all members, Maybe have mama see one of his explosions?
-Someone who literally just gets him mad. They just push his buttons in all the right ways to send him over that edge. Aftermath would be good.
-I'd love to find him a mate that would try and push some buttons, but would help him learn to not be so destructive all the time. Now, it would help if he could accidentally hurt this mate (before or after them being together) to show how much of a problem this is... And that she accepts him even with that streak
-Conversing with all the elders. Speaks for itself.

Kit Applying For: 5
Warrior Name: Cloakback
Personality: Cloak is a quiet sort of guy, who prefers to keep to himself. and observe silently the going ons around him. Strong, and confident, he's self sufficient and dislikes relying on others for anything; thus his striking out for independence early in life. Even so, he is rational, and doesn't make hasty decisions, assessing any situation he's in before providing a response.
Future Plots: really don't make future plans until there's rp first. But I guess a few that would be interesting are:

- I'd like for him to at least make one strong bond with someone, who he sort of becomes possessive of and highly protective.
-Have some sort of incident that causes him to gain a few scars here and there, and teaching him a lesson in the process; maybe battling something too big for him, or getting caught off guard by some sort of foe.
-Maybe have some apprentices to train of his very own. This will help him be a little better at opening up and conversing with others.  

[Spunky Skunk]

Kit Applying For: >#5< or #4
Warrior Name: HollowHeart
Personality: HollowKit, the name given to the last born of the litter. Named for his seemingly dormant personality, HollowKit at first seems quiet and unwilling to open his heart to anyone, not even his mother...and especially not his father. This is not completely the case though. He is not Hollow for his unwillingness to let others in, he is hollow for his infinite passion. Though HollowKit started off being quiet, as he grew into an apprentice, his true personality shined through. Now HollowPaw, he wouldn't like anything more than to help his fellow clan mates and become a loyal warrior. Still a little shy though, it will take some time before others know of his dedication. With proper training though, HollowPaw will become one of most kindest, bravest, warrior around. The complete opposite of whatever his father is. HollowHeart, the quiet kit that became a true dreamer.
Future Plots:

Life Plan

- HollowKit is very quiet at first. Almost like nothing gets through to him. In fact, he listens very carefully and considers every word. He'll use everything learned to better him when he becomes an apprentice. Because of this, he may be subject to teasing by his litter mates and other kits his age. (Maybe even daddy since he seems pretty weak.)

- HollowPaw has become much more dedicated to becoming a warrior. The information he's retained is being shown off at full force. He easily answers questions given by his mentor. As an apprentice though, he will be very clumsy at first. Knowing something and actually doing it are completely different things. He'll still be a bit shy too at this point but is willing to speak to others.

- HollowHeart will be a complete dreamer. He is no longer just a shell of a cat. HollowHeart wishes to be the best he can be which includes striving to one day become a leader. HollowHeart is loyal though. He would never claw his way to the top by dishonest means. He believes that if he continues to work hard, one day the clan will all know that he is ready to lead them to a prosperous lifestyle. Whether he becomes leader or not though, he will always strive to listen to his clan mates and ensure that everyone is happy.

Kitty Romance

- HollowHeart wants to make everyone happy so when it comes to finding a mate, he probably won't be able to tell the different between another cat flirting with him or just being friendly. (At least at first.) Friendship is one thing, love is a whole other subject. If that she-cat is willing to be patient with him though, HollowHeart will eventually get the hint. He might not still understand love, trying to impress more than he probably should, but at least he tries. It's kind of cute actually. That's all part of the charm though.

Family

- Don't really know much about the other kits yet since they are also still in development. I would assume that HollowKit wouldn't get along too well with them at first though. He doesn't talk much at an early age. Maybe that changes though when he's become HollowPaw or HollowHeart. By then he might love his family. (Accept maybe dad.)

Kit Applying For: #1
Warrior Name: Silvertongue
Personality: Silvertongue is well aware of the personalities of those around him. So it took him no time what so ever to realize his mother would not hear ill of her kittens. He liked to take advantage of this and get into as much trouble as he possibly can. Quickly running to his mother and pouting when he bit off more then he could chew. This gets no better as he gets older only he learns to talk his way out of his problems. Catching him with nothing to say would surely mean the end of the world. He very much loves the sound of his own voice. Surprisingly enough his temper is rather low though if you did manage to piss him off you should know there were be some nasty rumors about you promptly so. Size wise he turned out rather large not tiny at all and he has the appetite of a horse or to eat a whole horse one or the other.
Future Plots:
-Oh siblings: Constantly talks his siblings into things rather they are good or bad things.
-Bit off more then he can chew: Comes crying to mother and mother sees through his little game and he gets in trouble for it
-Rumors: Someone pissed Silvertongue off now he is out to get them and ruin their good reputation little by little.
-Silver tongued devil: Flirting and being suave with several she cats ending up in a horrible mess with Silvertongue getting what he deserves for doing that.
-A useful tongue: A problem arises be a fight between clans or a inner clan conflict that Silvertongue is able to use his skills of talking his was in or out of things to smooth everything over. This would be the event to cause him to look at life a little more seriously and realize is skills could be used to benefit more then just him.
