Hello everyone I'm Sloth! I joined EoD on January 9th, 2018 and was moderator to Stormy whenever the site was first created. Stormy and I worked hard to build up EoD but there came a time when Stormy wanted to step down and focus on her life, of course she can still be seen on the site and I know she cares very deeply for it. When Stormy stepped down in April I was made an admin and have guided the site since then. I wouldn't be able to do much without my staff team who I am very appreciative for and care about deeply ( love you all! <3 ).

My first character was Aspenstar who is still to this day my favorite bean. I relate to her pretty well with her indecisive tendencies and the uncanny ability to procrastinate important things in her life. My second favorite bean would have to be a tie between Ratpaw and Thunderpaw but I'm honestly pretty attached to all of my characters.

My favorite clan would have to be FireClan but I'm partial to it for obvious reasons. My second favorite clan would definitely be RavenClan for their freedom and dark secrets.

Some random facts about me; I love tigers and red pandas and would want to teach zoology or ecology if I were a teacher, preferably ecology I think. I work two jobs, drink my tea hot with creamer, and enjoy cool weather with a clear sky and light breeze.

When did I first join Edge of Dawn? - I join on January 12, 2018. I was brought over by Sloth who knew me from another rp site. She told me about EOD and I just hopped right in.

When did I become a staff member? - I was first promoted to an application checker on September 9th 2018. After checking applications for a while on October 25th I was then promoted to moderator.

Who was my first character? - My first character is Fireclan boy Boulderfang. When I first created him I just wanted a cat that was very strict to the warrior code and was proud of who he was and how great Fireclan is. But his life spiraled and he got a little bit off track after his first litter. Now he is in the cross fires of all three leaders having personal connections with all of them. A friendship and kin with Aspenstar, his loving and dramatic sister Froststar, and now the father of Cinderstar sister Ashflight's kits. He is currently trying to stay out of the drama but he seems like a pawn in their game against one another.

Who is my favorite character to rp? - I have to say Ashcloud is my favorite character to rp. Just because of his family dynamic and that he is my first ever medicine cat. It makes it a bit of challenge but it is something I look forward learning more about. But Ashcloud is one of my characters that his response depends on what kind of mood I am having that day. So it makes all of his thread unique and different. I was fortunate and surprised to be adopter of Ashcloud on April 26th, 2018 after his original rper announced inactivity. I hope that if you have a chance to rp with Ashcloud he lives up to your expectations.

Which clan is my favorite? - Hands down Fireclan.

What scares me? - Birds. I don't know why but they are creepy.

What cheers me up? - Honestly getting together with my friends and watch Disney movies or just do something fun.

What is my favorite animal? - Wolves c:

If I had to be a teacher, what subject would I teach? - Honestly I would love math. But I also have a degree in math so I am a little bias.

I joined Edge Of Dawn in January 2018 and not a single day goes by where I don't think about my characters and the site's many many plots (it's very distracting).  I haven't been on a lot of RP sites and honestly, that's a crime. EoD is only my second site and the reason being I am actually quite shy when it comes to these things. For years I just lingered and read through different WC RP sites - always wanting to be a part of the community but never thinking I was good enough.

When I finally took the leap and joined my first RP site and later joined EoD a few months after, my confidence skyrocketed and so did my creativity. I love this site, it's members and it's many characters. I've been EoD's second moderator since April 2018 but not before I was an Application Checker all the way back in March. I want to help this community and site grow as well as improve myself.

Don't let your fears and insecurities hold you back from doing something new, it might just turn out to be your favourite thing in the world! (ﾉ◕ヮ◕)ﾉ*:･ﾟ✧ (yay cheesy quotes~)

Who was your first character?
My first character was my sweet medicine cat apprentice Blossompaw. Truth be told, I based her personality off of a very exaggerated version of myself. She holds a special place in my heart.

Favourite character to RP?
This is a close call between my intense boy Falconpaw and my fabulous ex-kittypet Brindleburr. Both are complete opposites of each other and certainly have nothing in common with me, but that's why they are so much fun to write. When I RP them I have to put myself in their shoes (paws??) or else the writing comes out stiff. They are their own characters and it's always a joy to see them come to life through descriptive writing.

Favourite Clan?
It's a tie between FireClan and WillowClan. They just have such interesting dynamics and overarching plots. Not to mention I love to write about their territories.

Favourite weather?
When it's raining. Not so heavy that you get soaked to your socks but just enough to make everyone hide away so you can walk through the street or park alone while listening to music and hiding under a large umbrella.

When did I first join Edge of Dawn? - I joined January 15th 2018! I was recently unemployed and eager to get back into RPing after more than a few years away.

When did I become a staff member? - I was the third application checker, promoted April 26th, 2018.

Who was my first character? The Medicine Cat of FireClan, Fernheart. I applied for the position on a whim, shocked to hear I'd earned the position! Fernheart is a sweeter, more exaggerated version of myself and actually the first cat I ever made. I generated her name back in 2006/7 by putting my own first and last name into a random warrior cats name generator. Over 10 years later and I decided to remake my original cat, but by far new and improved.

Favourite character to RP? - This is easy, it's Dawnfur! He's always been far too fun to play. If you ever want the quickest and longest replies from me, just request RPing with Dawnfur! He and his sister, Duskfin, reside in RavenClan and his mate, Palepetal, lives in FireClan. One of our initial threads between those two boys, then Palepaw and Dawnpaw, became 'Thread of the Month', and they both even won Male Character of the Month at some point!

Favourite Clan? This is tough, but I'd have to say FireClan. I find their unique leadership style so fascinating! Second up would be RavenClan with their laid back but potentially vicious attitudes.

A little more about me - I started RPing back in 2006-2007ish when I was only 12. The Warriors series is actually what got me into loving to read back in late 2005! I had always liked Harry Potter but Warriors began my obsession with staying up so late reading that I'd get in trouble - I have no regrets there!

Currently, I am living in Canada, and am an aspiring teacher (I plan on teaching elementary school students)! I actually recently graduated with a Bachelor's Degree in Psychology so if all goes well, I should be getting into an education program next fall.

When did I first join Edge of Dawn?- I joined January 31, 2018. I had only been on one rp site before, so when that one was no longer around, I got more bored than I have ever been in probably my whole life. So I quickly found Edge of Dawn, and i was bored no more. Thank you, boredom. 

When did I become a staff member?- I was promoted as application checker on October 25, 2018. Spooky!

Who was my first character?- I believe my first character was Shadowstep, originally Shadowpaw, and he was an idea I had all the way back on my first rp site, he just has a new name now! He's very much like myself. He loves to talk, make new friends, and he can get pretty sassy when it's necessary. I have a lot of fun writing him, even if he can be difficult to sometimes.

Who is my favorite character to rp?- It is very close between three cats, Foxtooth, Pebblepaw, and of course, Shadowstep. Honestly, I could never choose between the three of them. If I was asked some time ago, I would have most likely said Foxtooth because of his plot with his father, Gorsestrike. A lot of people have thrown their characters into that plot as well, and it quickly became my favorite plot to ever be a part of. I could go on all day about Foxtooth, if you let me.

But then Pebblepaw came along, my sweet innocent boi. He wants nothing more than for everyone to be happy and enjoy life, he is a little ray of sunshine. He radiates positivity, and it's mostly because of his adopted father, Wolfclaw. Even if they aren't related by blood, he taught Pebblepaw how to have his own personality, and how to enjoy life. That's why I always look forward to writing him. 

Favorite Clan?- This one is also a hard one, but I would have to say Fireclan. A lot of my favorite plots take place there, plus I do like the leadership style more than the others! 

Favorite Holiday?- Halloween, by far. I love the amount of spooky threads there seem to be, whether it's on purpose or not. 

Favorite Animal?- Fennec foxes! They're so little, and they have so much energy. Have you ever heard the noises they make when they're excited? 

What cheers me up?- Seeing/talking to my friends, and coming on here. Oh and also, these True facts about the owl.

I first joined Edge of Dawn on the 10th of January, 2018. It was a move over following Octopoda and Stormy from another site I had joined fairly recently.

I then created my first character, Ripplestep. It took me quite a while to create him but I'm ultimately happy with how he turned out, despite feeling I have trouble doing him justice in rp. I think once I get a hold of him, he may end up as my favorite character to rp.

My favorite Clan when I first joined was RavenClan, now I feel like I'm edging more towards FireClan or WillowClan. I like all of them quite a bit in different ways so it's definitely hard to choose between them.

I became an application checker on the 11th of March, 2018.

A few RL things about me:

I have my tea with slightly more than a dash of milk and two teaspoons of honey (or two to three teaspoons of sugar if I feel like mixing it up). I know, I felt all you purists out there cringe, and I know. I also prefer instant coffee over anything else.

I'm most scared of losing bonds with others, and of losing compassion for others...and also spiders, I'm irrationally afraid of those as well. Can't even go near a dead one. Oh, and I'm not sure it counts as a fear considering there was past trauma involved, but I have issues going near any body of water larger than some arbitrary amount (spas and bathtubs are fine so long as not something overly large where it starts to become closer to a mini pool).

I'm most grateful for my friendship with Octopoda. I could go on for ages about how much they have helped me through and how much they put up with from me while still pushing me to be a better person but I feel that would get too real/deep/personal so I'll just tell you all they are a very good friend, and we'll leave it at that.

I believe a little in aliens but not in the technologically more advanced, UFO sense that tends to be common. I believe in there being life on other planets somewhere in the universe, that may or may not have achieved sentience. As for humanoid aliens? Yeah, uh... nope. Steven Spielberg's Taken mini-series was really interesting to watch though, and scared me a lot as a kid.

When did I first join EoD? I followed Stormy here from another site and formally joined as a member on January 10, 2018.

When did I become a staff member? I became the fourth application checker sometime in May 2018.

Who was my first character on the site? My first character was Cinderfox, now Cinderstar. I have remade and replayed this character on and off for years, and she has always been one of my favourites. Cinderstar comes from an old character from a BC based WC RP site, she was named Salmonpaw then. Since her Salmonpaw days, Cinderstar has become much more complex and entertaining to RP. I can't say I expected her to turn out the way she did on EoD, but this change is thrilling and I am enjoying the journey!

Who is my favourite character to play? It's gotta be Cinderstar. I love seeing how other members react to her posts and I always love reading what others have to say about her, both OOC and IC. I also enjoy RPing Lilacclaw despite the fact I don't have many plots with her. I've never RPed a character like her before and I find it fun and challenging.

What clan is my favourite? I know nobody is surprised that it's Fireclan. The oligarchy is juicy and full of potential plots... and it goes so well with its civil war history. Three leaders keeping the peace and leading together? What could possibly go wrong?

A little blurb about me & RP: I have been RPing since 2006 and Warrior Cats is what introduced me to it. I was (am?) obsessed with the books, and through my Warriors browsing, the internet introduced me to the wonders of RP. Since then, I have been on countless RP sites (mostly Warriors, but some of different fandoms and original ideas). I was even a WC RP admin/mod for various sites back when Piczo was a thing, including two sites of my own. I enjoy staff work and I enjoy RPing even more *finger guns*

What cheers me up? Video games (single-player RPG is my fav), both playing and listening to music, and RP! EoD is my go-to when I am hating on my RL.

What scares me? I'm scared of a lot of things, but the most trivial is the dark. I do not like being in the dark, even with flashlights or a dim lmap. It freaks me out. I don't like seeing shadows. I still do things in the dark- like haunted houses, but I am afraid the whole time and I will definitely use you as bait while I run blindly through the course (sorry)

[Bern]

Hello, my name is Bernstein!
My display name may change a lot but I usually keep a 'Bern' in there and most (if not all) people here call me 'Bern'. c;

When did I first join Edge of Dawn? - I joined on April 2nd 2018 after visiting an old rp site of mine that had long since died and seeing an add for this site. I was looking for an active forum that focused on warrior cats and boy, was I right to join here. Haven't been on a warriors rpg forum this active since 2011!

Who was my first character? - My first character was Russetface in FireClan whom I play actively to this day. His plot took some time to form and I have been slightly dissatisfied with him in the past but now have learned to fall in love with him and his now found plot. My second charakter was Gorsestrike in RavenClan who's plot was easily found and has only gotten bigger over time.

Who is my favourite character to rp? - It changes a lot, honestly. I love all my characters for their own reasons although muse for them comes and goes. I found out I can usually easily find words to write younger cats (kits, apprentices) but older cats make for more engaging plots. The one who's always in the top three is Gorsestrike. So I guess you could say it is him.

What is my favourite clan? - Started out being RavenClan, now I am not so sure anymore. All clans have great potential for drama and growth- What else could one want from a clan?

When did I become a staff member? - I became Community Assistant on 20th February c:
