Create a Warrior Cat Clan -ends 7/23 [Closed]

[veralynn]

The Contest - ends June 23rd
I am in the process of creating a warrior cats only rp site(proboards) and I would love some clan ideas for the original three clans. The site will revolve around these three original clans that were forced together following a natural disaster into the territory that will later hold the new, fourth clan. While they are living together cats form bonds across clan boundaries, something basically unheard of as it goes against their code. So when the clans depart back to their homes to rebuild there is a small group of cats left behind that decide to form their own clan, EmberClan. This new clan must figure out how to run themselves and look past their former clan allegiances.

EmberClan Info

• Their territory is mountainous with some hills were they border other clans
• Their name comes partially from their hot springs
• The Moon Cave(StarClan location similar to Moonstone or Moon pool in the books) is on the far side of their territory meaning the other three clans will have to cross at least part of their territory to access it. 
• They will likely boarder just two of the clans and the gathering area will be more central to the three original clans, not EmberClan.
• They will consist of members from the original three clans and so are going to be a mix of traits/skills. Down the line though they will turn into their own distinct clan. 

Guidelines

• Please use your own ideas, no copying from the original series or other user's ideas. Ex: You cannot directly copy ThunderClan but just change the name, you can however have a forest based clan.
• While each clan should have distinct territory please keep it within reason. This means avoid things like volcanos or glaciers that would impact the other clans territories. 
• The clans should follow the warrior code, typical clan structure, prefix/suffix naming system, and believe in StarClan/Dark Forest. Though I am open to deviations as long as it is nothing too crazy. 
• Your clan can also be mountainous but it needs to have something distinct from EmberClan.
• Keep in mind the clan prefix will become unavailable for future names, just like how in the books there is no cat with the prefix Thunder. 
• All three clans will have origins similar to original clans in the books having been founded by loner/rogue groups at the same time. Not to mention these clans have been around long enough that they are decades removed from the founders. 
• There will be no magical powers, extreme mutations, or wildly unrealistic things allowed in clans. So please don't make a clan about flying blue cats who keep dogs for pets or a fully vegetarian group for example. 
• Please keep in mind that if your clan is chosen there may be minor changes so that all four groups can coexist in the same area. At the moment this should only impact territory changes.

Prizes
Anyone with a clan selected from this can chose one of the prizes below in addition to credit on the site and early access. Multiple people can select the same prize and all participants can receive early access if they wish. 

• Clan Leader - You will be given the leadership position in the clan you created. Optionally you may also chose to be a contributing staff member that will help build up the site.
• Clan Leadership Priority - You will be given first pick of RP leadership positions(Deputy or Medicine Cat) in the other clans or Clan Leader(Staff position) if the original creator has selected to not run their own clan. Optionally you may also chose to be a contributing staff member that will help build up the site. 
• Site Staff - If you do not care to have any leadership position in the clans you can still help build the site.
• Free Studs - If you have no desire to help build the site or have any sort of leadership position you can have free access to my studs for life(may exclude select studs based on agreements between BPs). This does also include my freezer. 
• Early Access Explained - This means you will be provided a link to the site so you may join and explore the unfinished site as it develops. However you will be given only the permissions of a regular user so staff boards will be invisible. It may include surveys/polls to collect opinions if the staff desires and will give you first access to character creation when it opens. Clan leadership positions may also be available to you earlier but cannot be guaranteed as once a clan has a leader it is up to that person to fill remaining roles. 

Clan Form - You are welcome to add additional sections to this if you wish, however all current sections must be completed. Italics are there to explain what each section means and does not have to address each point listed. 
Clan Name -
General Attributes - Personality traits, physical attributes(fur length, common coat colors, adaptations, etc), or special skills(swimming, fighting moves, speed, etc)

Clan Name - Echo Clan

General Attributes - These cats are tabbies (Classic, Ticked, Makeral, Spotted) usually in earth tones or silvers (rarely lilac or red), and range in fur length though they are mostly medium-furred. They are elegant in fighting movements and running but prefer not to brag as it is said to lower one's intelligence. Echo Clan's tongues are sharp but properly used and kept neutral in any feud regardless of their true emotions.

Clan History - (If this needs to be slightly changed, PLEASE tell me. I am more than happy to.)- Echo Clan was founded by a sophisticated freedom-bound she-cat Echo, who believed one must have stable and controlled order, but not irrational restricting leadership. her old group of rogues was a hierarchical based group focused on the leader only, abandoning the weak and pampering the healthy. This, Echo could not live with so she strived to change that. So after revolting against her manipulative leader along with other freedom-bound friends, she promised a better and fair life. And after moons of walking, Echo was contacted by Starclan about her destiny. Even with multiple leaders after Echo(Star), Echoclan had not forgotten the many lands and waters (this is metaphorical and literal) she had crossed for her descendants.

note ~ Echo's mate Juniper (male) eventually chose the next leader after Echo's unexpected death and became a renowned medicine cat soon after. Other renowned cats: Mothtail ~ female (Warrior who successfully fought off a fox trying to kill her while in pre-labor.), Violet ~ female(Kittypet who discovered a cure for a deadly disease inflicting the medicine cat.) Hawkstar ~ male (hospitable leader even to the most aggressive rogues)

Territory - A large hilly meadow where EchoClan believes they are closer to their ancestors (unintentionally close to Windclan. oops...) than in the mountains or forests.
Landmarks:
Star rock- a large rock with small crystals that glitter in the moonlight. This rock is said to be the place where Starclan contacted Echo(Star) to tell her this was her new home.
Crystal River - a hard water river that borders the meadow and the forest.
Sun Hill - a Hill facing the east covered with a large abundance of herbs and flowers where most of the foraging is done.

I hope this isn't straying too far away from your original idea! As said before, if anything should be changed ( think I did the landmark thing wrong. oopsie) you can always let me know via hr Illumine or Discord @_Illumine_.

Minnow had to convice the local rogues to join her and create her very own clan on the wetlands some of the cats joined her others who thought she was crazy left and never returned to the wetlands. Upon the approval of Starclan the newly created clan called Marsh clan was born. She refused the suffix Star because she liked her name. Her deputy was called Moss-leap a large grey long haired tom.

Clan name- lightning clan

They have sharp sighting and normal hearing living in a dark forest. they don't like swimming, and won't get their paws wet with choice. They aren't keen working with other clans but if necessary, they will.  They tend to have longer claws and longer legs meant for running and grabbing prey.

Clan history: Lightningclan was formed by a rogue tired of being led by a bad leader. The rogue, named lightning, convinced some of her friends, needle(needlepelt) and bee(beeheart), to overturn their leader after a sign from Star clan told her to. They where tired of having to fight for prey, leaving the sick and watching kits starve. When lightning(lightningstar) challenged Rave(leader) most of the others followed her. She created a clan that had the warrior code that kept them together as well as a good leader. Needlepelt became her deputy and leader after she died and her mate, silverpelt, became a medicine cat after her sudden death of greencough. From that moment, lightning clan was formed. In honour of lightning star, they recite her tall every moon at sunset, the time of her death.

Territory: A dark pine/oak forest where pine litters the floor. It is mostly dark with small patches of light. They can hunt blackbirds,mice,voles near the stream in the middle of the forest that runs through camp, occasionally rabbits and squirrels. The hollow has 5 dens, the biggest being the warriors den. Each den is complete with prey bones and ferns,brambles intertwined to keep the dens warm. The leaders den is on a rocky hill that leads to a tree with a big hole inside. Inside is decorated with bones,feathers and prey pelts.
