LICHENFLOWER - ShellClan Warrior

Player: @moiderinthemews

Name: Lichenflower

Gender: Male; Can sire kits

Age: 30 moons

Clan: ShellClan

Sexuality: Uncertain;  heterosexual & panromantic / pansexual.

Description:

He is a tall, powerful, and sleek gray spotted tabby tuxedo tom with pale hazel eyes and a dapper appearance. His pelt is short but thick. He has a few scars from fights in defending others, but most are minor, small, or hidden by fur.

Personality:

Lichenflower is a true gentlesir and a gentle soul with his clanmates and most others he encounters in the quest of life. He’s polite and respectful, looking to authority to set a good example while always striving to be a responsible, serious, moral, and yet humorous personage himself. His greatest passion is kits and teaching. He adores spending time with young cats and schooling them on all manner of life skills. He also eagerly participates in games or kit-sitting. A vigilant and empathetic tom with a devout dedication to his duty and passion, he is a dependable and fierce protector of the younger and weaker and will not hesitate to bring down the wrath of a thousand storms on anyone malevolent enough to actually threaten or harm a young cat—whether or not that young cat is in his clan. He tries to extend the same respect and good nature he has for his clanmates to those in other clans, because he sees that as a two-way street and hopes to initiate a peaceful and friendly interaction with others that will earn him that respect by giving respect. However, he’s not cowardly and will certainly stand his ground and fight fiercely if he must. He is refined and has restraint, seeing clear distinction between defeat rather than killing, and has an odd lean towards hoping defeat can mean friendship and a chance to rebuild between himself and the other cat. He has great courage and sacrifice, but isn’t reckless or overly emotional. Instead, he’s quite level-headed and clear thinking, being a mature sir.

Working on a lil pmv focusing on the apprentice lives of a few of my Duskclan ocs (mainly Doespring, Stoatbite, Lichenflower and Kowhaipaw). I’m hoping to finish it in a month or so :)

This shot features young cleric’s apprentice Doepaw with her sister Wētāpaw and newcomer ex-housecat Tūīpaw.

[kiwianacats]

Some more information of Duskclan's clerics! I had a lot of fun drawing out these locations and I even gave the characters slight redesigns :)

I wrote out a ton of info on clerics so beware of a massive wall of text below!

-Moon Key: The Moon Key is Duskclan’s place of worship. It is a tiny rocky island across the coast from the Riversroots that can only be accessed when the tide is out revealing a sandbank stretching out to it from the shore. Clerics visit whenever the peak of the moon’s journey coincides with the low tide, meaning they often visit during the day. Only clerics, leaders can visit regularly, although all newly named warriors and apprentices will visit the Moon Key to seek Starclan’s approval for their new name. 

-Cleric’s Hollow: The hollow is a semicircle of boulders in the centre of Duskclan’s camp, separated from it by a narrow stream. It contains a cave underneath two boulders which serves as both a den and as herb storage. Clan meetings are called from the boulder above this cave. It’s generally considered disrespectful to visit the hollow unless for injuries or for serious matters as Duskclan considers a cleric’s work to be incredibly important and not to be disrupted.

Clerics:

Clerics:

The clerics are the most important role within the clan as both healers through their medicinal herb knowledge as well as being considered the ‘voice’ of Starclan as mediums. The cleric’s duty is to interpret the will of Starclan through signs and prophecies and communicate this to the rest of the clan. 

-Cleric apprentices: Cleric apprentices are chosen by head clerics and then approved by the leader. It is not necessary that they have a proven connection to Starclan prior to apprenticeship as they will be trained to interpret signs later in their apprenticeship. Once receiving their full names apprentices typically take over the bulk of the healing role; this includes collecting herbs, assessing the health of elders, kits and queens and healing small injuries and illnesses. However some cleric apprentices can be considered unsuitable for the role and never receive a full name as a cleric, such as Doespring who was stripped down to warrior apprentice status.

-Head clerics: Head clerics are the next in line for leadership. Depending on whether they have an apprentice determines the amount of responsibilities a head cleric will have. The main role of the head cleric is interpreting the will of Starclan, but if there is no fully named apprentice then the cleric also carries the healing role. Due to the size of this role head clerics will often take on part-time apprentices. These apprentices take on small parts of the healing role such as gathering and organizing herbs in between their warrior training. Mottledpelt and Stoatbite both briefly carried out this role during their apprenticeships.

-Leaders: Duskclan is deeply religious and considers it important that leaders are fully trained to communicate with Starclan. Although leaders do not traditionally carry out the roles of the clerics from leadership exceptions are sometimes made. Burningstar is an example as he continued to use his medicinal knowledge to heal on the battlefield as leader. 

-Mates and Kits: It is allowed for a cleric to have a mate and kits under the circumstances that 1) there is at least one other cleric (head or apprentice) at the time and 2) they take a vow to Starclan to view any such attachments as of secondary importance to their cleric role.

Another pair of reference sheets, featuring my favourite pos Stoatbite :)

Lichenflower

Lichenflower's mother died of illness when he was a kit and as a result he spent much time in the medicine den during his kit hood as he recovered. Eventually Lichenkit became fascinated by the knowledge of the head cleric Doespring, becoming her apprentice at 6 moons. His half sister Kowhaipaw, born to his estranged/exiled father, is the most important person in his life. Lichenflower worries that Kowhaipaw’s alienation due to her kittypet blood will strengthen under Cricketthroat's mentorship.

Stoatbite

Stoatbite is the son of Doespring and Tuistar, the two most important cats in Duskclan. He sits at the head of the senior warriors council and is a highly revered warrior, known by some as "Dawnbreaker" for ending the life of Dawnclan's past leader. Although he's an agile and skilled strategist sometimes his arrogance gets the best of him, earning him many scars. Being in such a highly ranked position for so long means he expects subservience from nearly everyone, bar clerics. He also carry's many typical clan prejudices, especially against town cats.

Duskclan’s Camp 🌄

Duskclan’s camp! It’s a lot bigger than it looks in this image, this is just the medicine den and nursery, I might draw a more fleshed out map at some point. Sorry for the lack of actvity on this blog, I have a bunch of reference sheets finished though and I’ll be posting them over the next few weeks.

Lichenflower

Lichenkit - Lichenpaw - Lichenflower

-DuskClan’s 2nd successor (medicine cat)

-He / him

-27 moons

-Mentor: Doespring (past)

-Sister: Kowhaipaw (half), Mother: Tulipstem (deceased), Father: Kiwitalon (exiled)

Lichenflower’s mother died of illness and malnourishment during a harsh leaf bare when Lichenflower was a young kit. As a result he spent much time in the medicine den during his kit hood as he recovered from illness. Eventually Lichenkit became fascinated by the knowledge of the medicine cat Doespring, who took a motherly role in his life after his mother’s death and father’s increasing absence from the clan. Lichenkit became the medicine cat apprentice at 6 moons. He was initially friends with Cricketpaw after his arrival but became increasingly distant after noticing the clan’s disapproval. Lichenpaw showed empathy, skill and intelligence in healing and became a full medicine cat at the age of 15 moons, named Lichenflower after his mother. It was shocking to everyone when his father returned after his long absence carrying half-kitty pet and half-sister to Lichenflower Kowhaipaw. Lichenflower developed a close bond to his sister after his father’s exile and her apprenticeship to Cricketthroat concerns him. Although he admires the warrior and wishes to rekindle their past friendship, he fears losing the adoration of his classmates he’s built. Lichenflower worries that Kowhaipaw’s alienation due to her kittypet blood will strengthen under his mentorship.
