Cinders In The Sunlight: Plot & Adopts! (2FC | 3kits)

[Demonic]

Here is mine and Mal 's big'ol plot that I am SUPER hyped for!

It centres around the crumbling sibling bond between Cinderbrook and Sundapple. They were once incredibly close, but after some major events in the past (see Cinderbrook's history) , the two are constantly at odds with each other. Now their actions in the future will either make or break their relationship.

The Plot:

Cinderbrook is very ostracised within FogClan for numerous reasons, but as a result she's very independent and comfortable travelling around the territory alone - even into the Hidden Forest. On one of her trips into said forest, she will find a brood of four kittens abandoned and out in the open. These kittens are incredibly young (around 5-6 days old) and have yet to open their eyes. Their mother is nowhere to be seen and is believed to have left in quite a hurry. Cinderbrook doesn't waste any time either and quickly takes the kittens back to camp before they freeze, starve or worse get eaten by predators.

Cinderbrook will obviously be met with many different reactions from her Clanmates. What with all the stigma surrounding the Hidden Forest. Bringing some outsider kittens that were born in what is believed to be the gateway to hell, probably isn't the best idea.

*In presenter voice* How will FogClan react when Cinderbrook begs for the kittens to be sheltered and cared for? How will her family react? Will this effect her relationship with Sundabble for better or worse?

Will the kits be allowed to stay past kittenhood? Will they be allowed to stay at all?

Find out! In this drama filled plot that I've already come to love so much!!

Adopts:

....
I, [your name], give Dem or Mal the right to re-adopt this character on the condition that I become inactive.(Rule courtesy of the lovely Mal)

Sundapple & Cinderbrook's family:

Taken By: @???

Mother: (Name up to the adopter - prefix preferably flower themed)

Clan: FogClan

Age: 49

Gender: Female

Appearance: Beautiful diluted calico she-cat with dark tabby stripes and deep yellow eyes. (Descendant of Lilacclaw)

Personality: (Up to adopter)

History: She had her kits very young. Although strict at times, she loves her daughters dearly and was elated when she had two she-kits. The mother was also part of a litter of two and had a close relationship with her sister  (Descendant of Lilyfang). However, after a major argument, her sister became reckless and angry and as a result died on duty (what the argument was about is up to adopter). Seeing her daughters fight has her scared that history may repeat itself.

Taken By: @???

Father: (Name up to adopter)

Clan: FogClan


Age: 53

Appearance: Muscular and broad shouldered black smoke tom with long thick fur and amber-gold eyes.

Personality: Very duty oriented and stoic

History: Born an only child, he struggled to make a lot of friends but the ones he has are loyal and incredibly close. Probably didn't think he was ready for kits when his mate became pregnant, but he persisted and is a very protective although stern father. (The rest is up to the adopter)

Other Relationships:

If you have any cats you'd like to offer up or make to be a childhood friend of Sundapple then feel free to post any ideas on here so long as you @ Mal. Or you can just PM her directly!

Taken By: Aria

Cinderbrook's Ex-mate: Almondbreeze

Clan: FogClan

Age: 36

Appearance: Dark brown ticked tabby with darker brown point markings on his face, tail tip and paws. Has pale green eyes.

Personality: (Primarily up to adopter - just the opposite of Cinderbrook)

History: Has been friends with Sundapple since they were kits. Has a HUGE crush on Sundapple, but agreed to mate with her sister in order to make Sundapple happy. Was honestly quite relieved when Cinderbrook broke up with him - now he can go after his real crush. Still, he did his best to be a good mate even if he didn't love Cinderbrook. He was honestly upset and pitied her when they found out she was barren. He and Cinderbrook don't really talk now but perhaps this could change in the future?

The Kittens:

Adopters get to decide what the chosen kit looks like (based on the parent Face Claims below), their size, build and personality! It's all up to you. Simply choose which unclaimed kit you would like and post a 'Try Out' below.

Try Out posts must include; A picture of the kitten, the kitten's name (whether they get into FC or not, Cinderbrook would still name them), the kits appearance and personality as well as any plans you have for the character's future.

NOTE! If multiple members 'Try Out' for the same kit then Mal and I will judge which character we think would be a good fit for the plot. We won't confirm who got what kit until at least a couple of days after posting this.


Parent Face Claim: The kittens have NO Clancat heritage. The mother was a kittypet who thought she could face the wild but got easily spooked and bailed, leaving her kits behind. The father was also a kittypet and for a time travelled with the mother until he died by eating poisonous berries. (If interested, the kittypet mother could be adopted out?)

Father (Purebred Ragdoll) x Mother (Purebred Bengal)

[Aria]

Demonic , LAST CAT I SWEAT TO STARCLAN! Could I have the long tan and handsome ex-mate. I'm calling him almondbreeze.

[Demonic]

Aria, I love the name! He's all yours ^^
Do you have any plans for him?

[owl]

lil seal point ragdoll baby
Name possibilities: Sheepkit, Shellkit, Smallkit, Snailkit, Snowkit, Softkit, Sweetkit (I'm personally leaning towards Softkit, Sheepkit, and Shellkit, but it also depends on Cinder's naming style since she is the one naming em haha)
    I'm planning for this to be a little boy, he'll start out as a very small, sweet kitten but even at a young age he'll have this air of an old soul about him. Like he knows a whole lot more than cats his age, and he asks a lot of deep questions for someone so young. If the kiddos do get into FogClan he'll probably bear the brunt of a lot of teasing because of his soft appearance and gentle nature. He'll start to grow to be large in size since both breeds he come from are fairly big, so cats would say "you're big so you have to act strong" and all that. I'd love for him to get a tough mentor who gets him into an accident that almost kills him or at least injures him badly, causing him to have a realization of how much death has to be afraid of, since when you die you just... disappear (as FC as a whole don't believe in StarClan, idk where they think they go where they die- unless Cinder believes in SC and teaches the kits that?)
    He'll eventually grow to be detached from a lot of the clan (probably won't have one of those social groups that are the norm in FC), save for maybe his siblings and Cinderbrook. This will either make him into a sort of scholarly hermit character who has a little den out in the territory where he sleeps most nights and asks a lot of questions no one can answer. He might even become a loner at that point, or even try to join another clan if his family doesn't hold him back.
    The alternative to this, depending on how his family and other cats impact him, would be a lot more harmful. It might happen if he gets into that near death experience, or if his mentor/a cat close to him pushes him too far. It could also happen if he witnesses someone close to him being hurt by another cat? He essentially snaps and tries to attack whoever's causing him the pain. He could be calmed down if someone close to him gets to him, but if left unchecked he could possibly really hurt someone because of his size. I'm not entirely sure what happens after that, if he does kill/severely injure a cat he has a big possibility of getting exiled. If he did became exiled the plot opportunity for some kind of gang that tries to take over FogClan but ultimately fails and gets everyone in it killed pops up (think Tigerstar in the first arc with BloodClan). If he doesn't become exiled/seriously injure a cat he could have a redemption arc where he super regrets what he did and tries to be better for the clan's sake. Or he could just act up again and get himself exiled/killed, depends a lot on whether he has a few friends through all this and whether those friends are "good" friends or "bad" friends.
    It doesn't especially matter to me the order my kit would be born in so if I am picked I'd be totally fine in any spot, though if I have to pick to keep it fair tell me and I can edit this to include a number c:
I, Owl, give Dem or Mal the right to re-adopt this character on the condition that I become inactive. idk if yall needed that but i put it in just in case.

[Deleted]

Name: Quailkit
Gender: Female
Litter: Second Born
Appearance: medium length, light mink bengal with hazel eyes
Personality Traits: Quiet - Anxious - Shy - Nurturing - Creative - Neat - Breezy - Indecisive 
Future Plans: If they are accepted into Fogclan Quailkit will be the anxious one out of the group. Never really having a mind of her own she tends to fall into the trap of her close family. She would stick by Cinderbrook's side not really wanting to venture out into the world. Maybe this attitude comes from her real mother that abandoned in Hidden forest. As she grows up she will stick to her sibling's side being very quiet and shy around other Fogclan members. When she becomes an apprentice thats where anxious personality would start developing, this is because she finally understands why the other cats are so weary around them. They are different and she doesn't want to believe she is an omen from hell. This will tend to consume her life just wanting to prove and not get in anyone way. She will tend to be recessive and stay out of harms way. I could see her getting into trouble if one of her siblings went to the dark side and they just kind of dragged her along with, because she doesn't know any better. Or maybe she would be an easy target for the rest of the clan to possibly kill off even though she wouldn't hurt a fly. I would also like to have the idea that clan life is not for her and wants to run away from this all together but is torn because she doesn't want to venture out in the world by herself.

I, Edda, give Dem or Mal the right to re-adopt this character on the condition that I become inactive.

SPOILER: Click to show

Name Mintkit (maybe she was named after they opened cus they didnt know if they'd be able to stay ?)
Gender Female
Litter Third born
Appearance A pale gingery bengal with bright blue-green eyes.
Personality Traits Spunky, Out-spoken, Adventurous, Reckless, Protective, Loyal She tends to speak up for her much quieter siblings, always sticking up for them even though she's younger. A real social butterfly, but that causes her to stick out much more in the tense social groups of Fogclan. She would probably have an easy time making friends if Fogclan didn't rely on such tight-knit groups and her origins weren't so unusual.
Future Plans:
If accepted into the clan, she'll definitely have a chance for her social butterfly side to be displayed. Despite the clan's unease towards them, she'll be quick to introduce herself and her siblings to the other kits, always attempting to join in their games. However, always making sure if she gets an invite, her siblings can come too. She's quick to let go of her real mother, figuring that if she didn't love them enough to stay, she probably didn't love them a lot to begin with, and besides, they have Cinderbrook now, who she, decidedly thinks after a while, is much better than their real mother anyways. After becoming an apprentice, she'll likely find herself with a few friends and will continue to make sure her siblings aren't left out or picked on. She remains loyal to them, always spending time with them and playing with them if nobody else will. She successfully ignored the clan's weariness as a kit, but finds the difficulty rising in her apprenticeship. She finds herself deeply torn between wanting to prove her loyalty to the clan and wanting to ignore their looks and comments, knowing she is enough for herself.

As a warrior, I'd like her to either finally feel like she had proven herself or maybe continue to struggle with that feeling of constantly doing things to prove herself.

I, Soot, give Dem or Mal the right to re-adopt this character on the condition that I become inactive.

[Captain]

Name: Dovekit
Appearance: Seal Mink Ragdoll
Litter: Firstborn 
Gender: Male
Personality: Obsessive, Unsympathetic, Desperate, Confident, Adventurous, Blunt, Outgoing, Nonreligious, Loyal
Future: If accepted into the clan, he would find himself becoming obsessed with being accepted by his peers. In his kithood, Dovekit will struggle with understanding FogClan's society. Him and his littermates are likely without a social group. So Dovekit can only learn social norms by observing the other kits. Even though he'll seek out other kits, he will be rejected for being an outsider.  Eventually he will catch onto why the other kits are ignoring him and decided he has to fit in. As he grows into an apprentice he will start to mimic the behaviour of his clanmates by hating outsiders and rejecting StarClan. Throughout his apprenticeship he will become desperate to prove himself despite his heritage. This will lead to more drastic actions, such as provoking the other clans at gatherings and going on dangerous adventures. He'll likely end up with a few scars and a fancy ear nick. 

One key thing to note about Dovekit's devotion to FogClan is that he would rather betray his family than let down his clan. If he were to discover any compromising secret he would reveal it in order to gain a higher standing in the clan. 

If rejected from the clan, Dovekit will develop a strong devotion to his siblings. I can imagine him attempt to always protect them. As they grow up alone in the wild, the kits would face many obstacles. There could be a very dangerous situation where one of his siblings almost dies. Dovekit would blame himself and slowly become more obsessive and controlling. He would attempt to control every tasks his siblings did. Dovekit would grow more and more paranoid and start to believe his siblings weren't listening to him. He'd worry constantly and drive himself mad.


I, Captain, give Demonic or Mal the right to re-adopt this character on the condition that I become inactive. c:

Captain, soot, owl, @edda,

I crumbled and couldn't pick three out of the four so you all get a kitten! Thank you so much for adopting them. I'm looking forward to rping with you guys ^^

As for Cinder's naming style, she isn't that creative? She'd name the kits after their pelts or something around her at the time that inspired her? For example, she found the kit on a sunny day and so named them Sunnykit lol
