Sketches headshots from some goobers from a ClanGen run. Fun facts:

Vixen showed up to SnapdragonClan as a fucked-up child spy and ended up 'bonding' with Mist while allegedly gathering intel. The bonding was him divulging more about why he was there and Mist staring at him with absolute horror over the fact Vixen was obviously being used and manipulated by the higher-ups in his clan. [This was actually all a lie on Vixen's part]

Young Adult toxic yaoi [They have so many problems, Mist please just throw Vixen out the nearest window before he fucks up your life with his obsessive violent delusional attachment issues]

Bonestar is a young leader who was appointed due to being just moldable enough for the previous leader, Plumestar, to get what she wanted beyond the grave, which was moving territories to cover up a mass tragedy that may or may not have been her fault [It was]

Sandy is SnapdragonClan's deputy, is way too old for this shit, and is one of the few cats who is old enough to have experienced the tragedy firsthand, he also lost his apprentice Milkweedpaw due to it, and didn't want to take on anymore responsibility after that.

He was extremely traumatized and is upset to be in his position. Doesn't like Bonestar because he knows the truth that she refuses to believe, they don't like eachother, the only reason Bonestar chose him was because she trusted his judgement due to being far older and more experienced than him.

Sandy is also Mist's father and doesn't have the best relationship with his son due to being hesitant to form a bond with him after what happened with Milkweedpaw, he's struggling.

Flareshiver is one of Sandy's closest confidants as the medicine cat and one of the main cats he rambles his troubles too, while she listens, she also gives him advice although she's been lacking in that department lately due to honestly being stumped on what to do about their current situation herself.

The only real advice she gave him was needing to mend his relationship with his son before anything worse happened and he wouldn't be able to. [She's also a trans woman, diversity win!!]

I love them all GRRRRRR

rookclan: in pursuit of knowledge

current leadership

lyrestar | 143 moons | shameless | beloved kitsitter

an eccentric old fellow, lyrestar is old as dirt and usually covered in the stuff to boot. his eyesight is failing and he's missing a few teeth, but by starclan he's not retiring yet! he was a bit of a casanova back in the day, siring litters with multiple she-cats before finally settling down with his current mate, a former kittypet named mae. he loves kits and can often be found playing with his great-grandkits in the nursery. not as technologically-minded, he prefers digging for grubs and gathering clay for pottery; his polydactyly makes his paws great shovels. his tail was burned in an accident when he was a young warrior, and since then the firekeepers have banned him from handling fire.

cherryhawk | 70 moons | responsible | great hunter & fast as the wind

cherryhawk is a very capable deputy, and at this point she's the leader of rookclan in all but name. her birth was a difficult one, leaving her without a tail and with a permanently weak leg, which she usually keeps wrapped in leaves to compress it. she earned the suffix -hawk in honor of her speed, which helped her catch and kill an actual hawk during her assessment. she likes to keep physically fit and often races her otterclan rival along the border. her level-headed nature makes her the ideal cat to curb her clanmates' reckless enthusiasm.

swanplume | 124 moons | troublesome | prophecy interpreter finchbeak | 124 moons | righteous | good healer yewberry | 29 moons | thoughtful | keen eye & dark forest affinity

swanplume and finchbeak are rookclan's elder healers; they're littermates and, surprisingly, lyrestar's younger aunts. much like their nephew, they refuse to retire. they're meddlesome old she-cats and love to gossip and nag. both of them bear scars on their faces thanks to their job requiring close proximity to their clanmates' sometimes-explosive invention accidents. most of rookclan prefer swanplume to finchbeak, whose abrasive tongue makes for poor bedside manner.

yewberry is their much younger apprentice. his demeanor is much calmer and quieter than his denmates', though his tendency to stare at things no one else can see makes him somewhat intimidating. while all of rookclan let their curiosity guide them, yewberry's interest parallels his name: he cultivates toxic plants and experiments with them. he attempted to ingest small doses to try and make himself immune to his poisons, but his first attempt went wrong and cherryhawk forbade him from doing it again. so naturally he's continued doing it, just in secret, and much more carefully.

culture

inquisitive and innovative, rookclan cats are relentless in their pursuit of knowledge. thanks to their experiments and inventions, they're the most technologically-advanced of the clans, developing rudimentary tools, crude wheels, and even a simple written language of glyphs. what's more, rookclan cats have even managed to harness the power of fire. only specific cats are permitted to start fires, however; these cats, called firekeepers, undergo extensive training in order to control the flames. with this fire, rookclan is able to cook their prey, a practice the other clans find odd. dried minnows and smoked jerky are favorite rookclan snacks, often squirreled away in caches marked by stone cairns. another rookclan recipe involves mashing grubs and meat scraps, using bird eggs to bind them, forming them into small cakes, and frying them in fat.

because of their keen interest in learning, rookclan routinely hosts outsiders, engaging in fascinated conversation and exchanging knowledge. thanks to this, rookclan cats believe in a greater variety of gods, spirits, and superstitions; when you're playing with explosive compounds and hazardous materials, you'll take the help of anyone you can get.

rookclan actually has two camps, one on a grassy knoll overlooking a cliff that falls into a gorge, and another on the steep face of the cliff, accessed through a system of natural caves and cat-made tunnels. the primary camp on the surface is where the young and old live, as well as warriors assigned to routine patrols. the secondary camp on the cliff face is occupied by those performing dangerous experiments, using fire or sharp tools, or working with hazardous materials. this area wasn't always a camp, but became one to prevent inventors from falling asleep at their workbenches. the gorge below, meanwhile, is a dumping ground for human garbage, which rookclan cats love to collect and tinker with, if only to discover how these objects work.

[gentlestarsclan]

Hello everyone! I play clangen and I've had my clan for a while! I'm gonna post some pics of my clan as it is rn. I've gotten to over 1,000 cats before and I wanna get to 5,000 with this save! And share lore...gentlestar,,,the cat at the bottom row is my leader and she's amazing!

[irisclans-legacy]

Welcome to IrisClan!

ALRIGHT LET'S GO! No schedule, I post as I finish drawing, got that? Cool let's go.

Click here to read through the story chronologically! (no link yet: will add when first lore post is up)

Asks are welcome and I will try my best to answer all of them. I assure you I read them all and cherish them, though.

My name is Nova, and I use he/they pronouns, so if you wanna talk to artist there are your details.

I change some names to what sounds right to me, and take some liberties with their designs. I also take some creative liberties when it comes to events, I am a storyteller and I will do what seems right narratively.

With that settled, come watch these funky beach cats go! Starting allegiances under the cut, I'll make a fancier written version later on.

[whelpimnauthuman]

My current Clangen has had at least five murders (and I will not be surprised if we get more). Which is already wild, but then looking at the revelations I've gotten so far and then coming up for motivations is. Just. Wild

Clangen Murder Lore under the cut

I have one guy, Lupinerustle, who's done the majority of the murder (I think it's 2, maybe 3 other cats? Need to check my notes tho) He's charismatic, so finds it easy to laugh off and deflect any accusations (doesn't help that at least one of his "confessions"was a flashback/nightmare overheard by a kit who didn't understand it.) I don't have a motive yet, but at this point whenever there's a murder I'm like "ah, yeah, that was probably him".

One of them was not subtle at all, brought the guy into camp and damned him to the Dark Forest; he was an apprentice about to graduate so I imagine it was right around the assessment. Not entirely sure method or motive, but he ends up killing the apprentice (I think he name was Rapidpaw?). Debating on having Lupinerustle ambushing Rapidpaw, so he doesn't have a chance to fight back, or Rapidpaw fighting for his life.

Either way, the body is brought back to camp, Lupinerustle claims they were attacked and the apprentice ran, abandoning him and dying in the process. "In the end, he wasn't fit to be a warrior."

Second murderer is his mate, Frozenmane. She grew up as kind of the golden child; I imagine her and her sister Icystem having a relationship similar to Dovewing and Ivypool, where Frozenmane was able to get away with almost anything - sneaking out to the Twolegplace and eating their food, going missing for weeks on end, even returning with one of their collars - and still managed to graduate on time, yet Icystem was held back despite doing everything right. To add insult to injury, around the time Icystem graduated, the medicine cats received a prophecy. Frozenmane overheard it and thought it must be talking about her, and her sister wasn't exactly pleased when she went to tell her. "You couldn't even let me have this (my graduation/ceremony), without somehow making yourself special, could you?"

A few moons pass, and Icystem (along with a few other cats) are taken by two legs. Famine strikes, the old deputy dies and is replaced, and Frozenmane... Lives life as normal. She finds a mate, has kits (Icystem, ironically, returns the same moon her kits are born). Her mate dies, her kits grow, and she's just... A common warrior.

And it kills her inside. Wasn't she meant to be special? Hadn't Starclan chosen her? Wasn't she the favorite?

I'm not entirely sure her motive for killing this (seemingly random?) warrior, but I feel like it's related to that; her victim, Toadflood, was everything she wasn't: a relatively laid-back warrior who was just. Enjoying life. Didn't care about being special, or raising in ranks (I think they were actually from outside the Clan originally). They weren't holding themself to such a high standard, and Frozenmane hated it.

The murder just adds on to everything tho. There's that combination of horror and guilt, but also... Lupinerustle has killed at least one cat by now, and can recognize there's something off about her. TL;DR they bond over murder and become mates, honestly probably enabling each other? (Considering, y'know, Lupe is still murdering his Clanmates)

Frozenmane is eventually confronted by Falconheart, a younger warrior (and one of the deputy's current mates), who plans on sharing the revelation with the Clan (preferably after their mate becomes leader, as Antlerstar is on his last life, and Frozenmane is a well-trusted warrior; it's basically the equivalent of Firestar accusing Tigerclaw). Falconheart is hoping to find guilt, remorse, maybe to hear it was an accident, anything to keep from reporting this. Instead, Frozenmane simply replies "So? Plenty of cats - good cats - die or go missing all the time. Why does it matter now?"

After all, Frozenmane was chosen by Starclan, she can't be wrong. Her killing a Clanmate is 100% okay, at least, in her mind.

Final murder is Antlerstar, who's currently on his last life. He's old, and quite honestly seen a lot, being the Clan's first leader (and one of two founders remaining). He's actually lost all but one of his other lives to famine, so has no problem giving for his Clan; however, he's no pushover, having led his Clan to war as well.

He was once a wise and noble leader, but age, as well as the trials of leading a Clan, have made him more feeble and hesitant; he fears leading his Clan astray, causing more loss and pain. He's plagued by nightmares, mistakes and visions from his past. It's not uncommon for him to get lost in a memory, or awake from a nightmare unaware of when or where he is.

His murder of (*checks notes*) was accidental, having lost himself to one such memory. The realization of what he'd done haunts him, and he's mostly confined himself to his den, only being visited by his deputy, Cinderfeather, and his medicine cat, fellow founder and friend, Foxpath.

[NON-CANON ART DW]

Stealing time in raids and riots / Now you've more than you can hold And so you're gambling with a giant / From some fairytale you've told So if you're any good at bluffing / I suggest you do it quick 'cause everyone is next to nothing / And every tock will have a tick It fits so well -

Don't worry about the art, Hootwhisker is alive still, even at the point I'm in in the game haha

So here's some lore with Hootwhisker, and his son, Stagrunner!

Hootwhisker , was primarily very distant from his son, Stagstrike, up until he had begun his training. As an apprentice, Stagpaw was confident in his abilities, with Shrikepaw helping to boost that confidence when they would train together. However, after witnessing the death of his mentor, Brightbeetle, due to a misunderstanding with a DuskClan patrol, it compeletely shattered his confidence, and harshly affected his training. While all the cats around him graduated to warriors, he was left behind, even with Eelstar himself pushing him to train.

Eventually, Hootwhisker went to Eelstar, telling him that, during a patrol with just him and Stagpaw, his son had protected him fiercely from a fox, and that be believed Stagpaw was well-enough ready for his warrior name, suggesting Eelstar should highlight his fighting spirit.

And so, he did, Stagpaw graduating 4 moons late with the name Gruagkachkubo, Stag that has Struck.

A half-moon later, he'd been startled awake by Shrikewing stirring in the nest next too him, and leaving the den with Hootwhisker. Shrikewing had offered him a part in taking Eelstar out of his position, promising to make him deputy, but Stagstrike had refused, not wanting to risk his new position as a warrior. He had assumed that the tom had given up on his plan, and so, out of curiosity, decided to follow the other cats to see what they were up to.

He'd lost track of them after a while, but eventually caught up to Moonhaze and Eelstar, only able to question what was happening for a moment before Shrikewing and Hootwhisker pounced. He stood frozen in place, in horror, as it happened, too far to hear what anyone was saying, but close enough for Eelstar to notice him. As soon as the leader made eye contact with him, Stagstrike turned tail back to camp.

Once Eelstar had returned, and once he was done laying it into Snapwing, Maggotbelly, Hootwhisker and Shadowleap, he was just as quick to turn to Stagstrike, asking him if he thought he would get away with his own deeds. He was deemed as deserving of a name change, to Gruagpanpea, Stag that will Run, as a permanent mark of his cowardice, and exiled alongside his father.

duckfeather and the underworld

"i will do anything to protect the ones i love."

duckfeather, egretclan's starclan guide, is a controversial figure among the clans of the lakeside. she goes by many names: the guardian, the protector, the huntress. once, duckfeather was the daughter of a clan leader, one of the few survivors of a group of clans who had been decimated by rogues and forced to consolidate for their own safety. though she was determined to save her clan by any means necessary, one of her clanmates betrayed the clan to the rogues, and he was the one who ended up killing her in the rogue ambush that would drive the clan away for good. duckfeather has sworn vengeance against her killer, murkwood, and stalks the dark forest searching for him. she refuses to rest until she can be sure he will harm no more innocent cats. to egretclan, she is a martyr and a saint, their divine protector; cats with a connection to the dark forest are her chosen, operating as her eyes within the place of no stars. she is the model of an ideal egretclan she-cat: loving, fierce, and devoted. the other clans aren't so sure about her; otterclan in particular are wary of her single-minded obsession and her willingness to spill the blood of anyone she deems a threat to her family. though a starclan cat in name, she has spent so much time in the dark forest that she rarely sees her mate and founder of egretclan, egretstar. she has forsaken her eternal rest in the name of revenge. the name duckfeather now serves as a warning: love for one's family can quickly transform into hatred of their enemies.

[gentlestarsclan]

After the war of clans...

A hush was placed over the whole of Mausmountain, even the marigolds that littered the scenery stopped. The dancing of the tree's leaves stilled. Crickets stopped singing in wait of something great, something never seen before.

Gentlefeather took this as a message to keep walking. Trees swamped the veiw to the left and right, leading her down a narrow path where Moonfalls lay. A delicate glow grew brighter and brighter as her paw steps sped up.

''Starclan is here.'' She whispered, finally a tail's length away from the rushing water. The waterfall's foam licked her paws as Gentlestar tentatively waded in. Nose reaching to touch the end of the waterfall, she was transported to a lavender and blue plains. Every passed on cat she once knew, and those she didn't were there.

A smokey grey tabby was making her way through the crowd. Catmint green and billowing was held from her right ear. One of her paws was missing.

''Mother!'' Gentlefeather ran to Wolverineleaf.

Using her tail to hold her mother close she cried, ''It's been forever since I last felt your warmth.''

''I could say the same to you my daughter.'' Wolverineleaf's face suddenly hardened. ''You must be confident now, walking alone or with your clanmates. I give you this life for confidence.''

A jolt of burning pain slashed into Gentlefeather, her legs trembling as she tried to stay straight. She could hear her mother's deep laughter.

''Walk on daughter, that was only the first one now.'' Gentlefeather touched noses with Wolverineleaf one last time before moving on to another cat, who she reconized as Antlerpaw. He was one of the paws she trained with. He had been killed when a tree fell upon him and Gentlefeather's mentor, Sandfeather. The incident had been the first time she ever cried, and begged starclan to save her mentor.

''Greetings Gentlefeather! I always found it funny how 'Gentle' was in your name when you were always so heavy pawed!'' He giggled and swayed as he approached her eagerly.

''Go on little one. I will recieve a life from you. Stars are basically falling from your pelt with excitement.'' Gentlefeather reached down for the little 'paw and smiled as the same hot pain rushed into her again.

''Thats for sympathy! Since you're so stoic HAHA!'' He ran away after that, bouncing after some orange kits that sadly were in starclan.

Starlingrunner and Mistyplume come forward together.

''I have endurence for you, new 'star. Mistyplume comes to bring you friendship in your time of leadership.'' Starlingrunner doesn't waste any time as she passes her gift to Gentlefeather, as does Mistyplume.

Starlingrunner dips her head in leave and Mistyplume shocks Gentlefeather by actually speaking, ''Good luck.'' Mistyplume's blue eyes dance as Gentlefeather remains shocked. Mistyplume's voice was restored!

Blueshell's brown tabby fur breezed by the two leaving she-cats. She placed a crow's feather by Gentlestar's paws and gave her a life for clear judgement.

Next was Driftdapple, a former kittypet Gentlefeather had found and saved from a swarm of rats. He was restored to his youth, as he lived the rest of his life with the clan after his saving.

''You have so much bravery little one, I shall give you a dependable heart for your bravery to rest on. Be scared and frightful no longer, and find relief in your choices.'' Driftdapple embraced Gentlefeather as his gift racked through her.

''Almost done, I promise.'' With a smile he sat by the rest of the beaming life-gifters.

Sandfeather, who she was named after sprang up, his once dull pelt now a sandy red. Tears brimmed in Gentlefeather's eyes.

''I see you named yourself after me huh?'' He jested.

''You saved my kits. Even when fire ripped you apart you saved them, and my whole litter.'' Gentlefeather buried herself into his chest, crying.

''Dear, I mentored your mother, your father, and then you. It was my destiny to keep your family safe.'' With that, he gave her a life for mercy.

Bluebellspeckle and his pretty forget-me-nots came up from behind her with a loud ''BOO!''

She turned on her paws, unknowingly pushing herself into his nose! Pain rushed once again through her.

''Got you! That one is for unity within the clan, and the other clans when needed!'' He placed a flower by the crow feather that was left for her. ''Keep this to show the medicine cat okay?''

Gentlefeather rolled her eyes and nodded, the pain numbing her maw.

''This is the last cat..'' Gentlefeather thought as she closed her eyes in wait.

''Are you really not going to look at me, Appleworm?!'' Briarstar's shrill voice rang through the clearing, her fur bristling. Briarstar tugged Gentlefeather's ear low.

''HEY HEY OKAYY!!'' One eye opened to see Briarstar licking one of her paws in fake annoyance.

''Come now kit, I have a life for you, and a good one too! And if you don't use it I'll be mad as a badger in winter!'' Briarstar lurched forward and touched the last life into Gentlefeather with her signiture tail strike!

Catching Gentlefeather-no, GentleSTAR, Briarstar mewed across the plains, ''EVERY CAT WITH A VOICE AND SOUL SING OF OUR NEW LEOPARDCLAN LEADER, GENTLESTAR!''

A chorus of mews and yells billowed loudly over every other noise in starclan.

''GENTLESTAR, GENTLESTAR, GENTLESTAR!''

Dizzy as a hit mouse, Gentlestar could only half-giggle before going to sleep next to all her life-gifters, and return to the real life, as GentleSTAR!
