Here on Classic we understand that sometimes life can get difficult and we struggle. We may need to receive advice, vent, know that we are not alone in our difficult times, or even just have someone listen to what's going on in our lives. In light of these times, we have created the support threads below that are open to all of our members at any time.
Hello my loves! After a wonderful term as medicine cat with a much loved character (that or I was just a massive simp), Honeystorm has stepped down; she and Pinesimmer will be greatly missed ♡ That means that we now have both medicine cat and medicine cat apprentice open, and I couldn't be more excited to get started!
Though I won't be enforcing any specific activity requirements, I'd love for you to be an involved member of NightClan <3
Tryouts will end on the 7th of February.
SOME INFORMATION ABOUT FUTURE MEDICINE-RELATED PLOTS:
In keeping with his determination to control every part of NightClan, the new medicine cat and apprentice will be chosen by Kier specifically to lie to their Clanmates. The surest way to wear down their defences is to convince them he has the divine approval of StarClan — and to do that, he needs the medicine cats. They will be ordered to fake omens and signs that favour Kier and his reign, to lie about talking to StarClan, to act as deputies (silent and frightening in the background, or openly involved) during Snowblister's sermons to add religious legitimacy to her teachings, and to do anything in their very respected and influential power to help indoctrinate the Clan. They will be little more than prophetic puppets, installed as yet another deception about Kier's divine right to rule — and yet, even so, they'll be incredibly powerful because if they were to turn on Kier and Snowblister, their influence over the Clan would be greater than anyone's. Kier knows that, and wants that influence for himself. He needs the medicine cats in his pocket; they're the last remaining threat to him.
Though Kier needs the illusion of StarClan right now, in the future he'll be planning to distance NightClan from them piece by piece until finally their worship of StarClan is completely gone and he's the sole influence. The medicine cats will be crucial to that. For now, terror of being labelled a heretic is a powerful weapon.
But it's up to you how much your character plays along! If they're planning to be a double agent, though, they'll need to be an extraordinary liar. In general, goldcrest and I would love our medicine cats to become key players <3 It would be cool for Kier, Snowblister and the medicine cat to be a scheming, equal trio of allies! But again, your character's beliefs and actions are completely up to you ♡ They don't need to be a villain.
NOTES:
This is purely a suggestion and you are in no way bound by it, but a younger character might work best! Kier will be favouring kits, apprentices, and young warriors who can still be re-educated <3
If and when Kier and Snowblister cease to be leader and deputy, you'll be welcome to keep in your current character or swap them out for a new one. So feel free to use a character only for these specific plots!

ROLE YOU'RE APPLYING FOR: CAT NAME: BIO:
HOW WOULD YOUR CHARACTER GET ALONG WITH KIER? HOW WOULD YOUR CHARACTER GET ALONG WITH SNOWBLISTER? WHAT IS/WOULD BE YOUR CHARACTER'S OPINION ON THE CURRENT STATE OF NIGHTCLAN? HOW WOULD YOUR CHARACTER FEEL ABOUT BEING ASKED TO FAKE SIGNS?
ANY IDEAS FOR PLOTS? (e.g. Clan-wide, just for your character's personal development, etc)
Specific points you can address/draw inspiration from if you like (OPTIONAL): What is their opinion on torture and executions used to promote and enforce religious obedience? Would they be an indoctrinated loyalist following orders? A genuine believer in StarClan just trying their best? Or would they, for example, be deceiving Kier and secretly a rebel working against him from the inside? Are they pro-StarClan or anti-StarClan, or are they in this for their own motives? Do they want NightClan to be distanced from StarClan for whatever reason? Do they even believe in StarClan? Are they misguided, villainous, good, ambitious, weak, tragic, religions fanatics, sweet, just trying to help? Are they loyal to NightClan, or to the divine right of the leader to rule? How will they feel about the power they'll hold? Might they one day seek to depose Kier, e.g. a redemption arc out of guilt for what they've helped him do, for their own ambition, to bring StarClan back to NightClan, to help their Clan? Or will they go down with the ship, a true believer in what they did?
ROLE YOU'RE APPLYING FOR: It would probably be best to apply for mca because he's just a child right now. But it also depends on who else tries out and their characters. CAT NAME: Lilacpaw [waters] BIO: What is a father but an older tom who exerts influence on your life that you never asked for. Too free thinking to respect the inherent authority of his parents over him Lilacwaters has always grown up questioning others influence over him and his decisions. But it has also never altered his ability to just as quickly latch onto those he decides he wants to be influenced by. Lilacwaters will put himself in a position surrounded by those he respects to bathe himself with their attention. The sort of tom who will purposely do something shortsighted or silly for their reprimand because he enjoys forcing others to care for him by any means necessary. Growing up with his parents so focused on his brother had him getting creative in finding figures of affection. He cares little for what he considers trivial matters which are often those aspects of others lives that they might find world changing. The willowy lilac point siamese with light blue eyes with varying shades like broken fragments. The delicate appearance gives the first hint towards his finicky nature. His favors changing quickly if not deeply cemented and his loyalty fleeting if not properly pursued. He hates getting dirty or germs and makes a poor hunter because of it. Blood is unsanitary and he passes off all situations where he might have to deal with it. Or dramatically complains throughout the whole experience until others wish to force him into silence. He's determined to make his name one of greatness that with be attached to the course of history. Whether he play the hero or the villain he will get his moment of glory.
HOW WOULD YOUR CHARACTER GET ALONG WITH KIER? : In truth I had always planned to make Lilackit obsessed with Kier so the moment I saw these posted I decided to apply because it worked towards what I wanted for him. He idolizes Kier, because Kier was his first example of a tom who had attained a name for himself. Even if it was through his reign of terror, in Lilac's mind the ends always justify the means. He was born in a perfect time to see and hear Kier's rise happen and wants to be part of it. But he is still a brat and will most likely sulk when Kier doesn't pander to him in return. Because he's a little to big for his breeches as they say, but hopefully he'll grow into them.
HOW WOULD YOUR CHARACTER GET ALONG WITH SNOWBLISTER? : She's boring and basic in his opinion but he also wants her to pay attention to him and like him. Lilacpaw thinks she could break him like a twig and is constantly on the verge of daring her to do it while still deferring to her judgement. An annoying burr that she can't shake because he likes to hang round her and mock her then scuttle away when she looses her patience. He'll bring her things or go to tell her things he's proud of doing like the little braggart he is then throw a tantrum when she isn't impressed.
WHAT IS/WOULD BE YOUR CHARACTER'S OPINION ON THE CURRENT STATE OF NIGHTCLAN?: He doesn't have much to base it on and only the brief words of his parents that it is wrong. He of-course doesn't like the bloodshed and also isn't very fond of violence. So over all he scrunches his nose up at the more brutal aspects of the clan but if he can avoid the visual reminders he easily sweeps it behind a curtain and pays it little attention. In his mind as long as he has attention and he's got a name in the clan everything else that's happening around him doesn't much matter.
HOW WOULD YOUR CHARACTER FEEL ABOUT BEING ASKED TO FAKE SIGNS?: He's going to love it! He's dramatic and loves attention so the chance to fake signs and have others relying on his word will make his world. In-fact Kier and Snowblister might have to convince him to tone it down to keep his fake signs believable.
ANY IDEAS FOR PLOTS?: For Lilacpaw I want him to be a sort of useless medicine cat in most things medicine related. He hates blood and germs so the very idea is gross to him. But he wanted his name to be known and so the role was all he desired. He wants the title but not the work. As such whoever he works with will have to carry his dead weight while he lazes about and looks pretty so to say. I think it could be interesting for them to either petition for him to get demoted or for the others to collectively decide he has to start doing his job. Then he can cry and throw tantrums while trying to learn how to actually do his job.
I want him to bring kits to Snowblister and tell her their hers he knows because he's of-course blessed with the sight. Then refuse to back down. So she either keeps them or gets rid of them, or they are now just Nightclan orphans who knows. [But just a fun little side plot. ]
A fun little side plot idea I have for Kier is for Lilacpaw to constantly pitch ideas for him that are never very smart or doable at all really. But Lilacpaw keeps coming up with suggestions regardless and trying to bring them to him at the most inopportune times, i.e - in the middle of the night when he's sleeping.
Also when Lilacpaw feels underappreciated or like no one's paying him enough attention he's going to act out.
ROLE YOU'RE APPLYING FOR: I’m leaning full Medicine Cat because she’s already a young adult. Which could be… interesting since she’s only just started learning about herbs, and will be something of a student herself. But I think having an amateur Medicine Cat would add to the general chaos and misery of this time period. She became interested in medicine a few moons ago, when Stormstar gave her a special assignment over the Summerclan Garden Keepers. She was so taken by the beauty and wonder of their flora that she gained inspiration to study plants and their properties full-time. Her past relationship with Stormstar and that role will do a lot to inform her approach to this one, given the similarity of the despots she’ll be serving (‘similarity’ is used liberally since Kier is obviously much more extreme), but more can be found about that in the sections below.
BIO (she's already on the page): When the owl calls and the mother’s usher their children in for the night, at that hour when the blue fades to the most black, when the stars take their place and twinkle in their casings so brightly that they look as if they could be picked like diamonds from that great canvas of the sky... that hour that draws the breath in with its sublimity. That’s the hour when her soul stirs, when she arcs her head to the heavens and captures that last orange of the sun, crushed and ebbing away, like the spirit of the cat she once was... wild and free. In its place comes the enveloping darkness, still, tranquil, polished in its beauty, and lovely to behold. She sees herself reflected in that image: her fur is middling length, a perfect black texture groomed to a sheen. The darkness is broken by stark white spots that dot the length of her back and shoulders, and crawl up her dainty front legs. Her mother called her Reinette, little queen, and it was her that ensured that she lived up to the name. Wrinkle your nose when you smile. Tip your head when you’re asked a question… just like that. Tuck your paws when you eat. Countless lessons have crafted her into a faultless creature of graces, almost impossible to offend, a joy to be around, and ever the pleaser. But as she searches that twilight sky, the dreams of her mother feel like chains rather than wings. Just as the tranquil night beckons the beasts who come bumping underneath the starlight, darker elements stir in her soul, fighting their restraints.
HOW WOULD YOUR CHARACTER GET ALONG WITH KIER? The first thing that has to be said is that Twilightdance is all about MANNERS and ETTIQUETE, so she’ll probably find Kier’s occasional crudeness (from what I’ve read) disconcerting. But I think that’ll be the full extent of their friction (at least at the beginning). Twilightdance to her core is a PLEASER. She’s almost robot-wired to give cats the benefit of the doubt and to do a little ego-stroking in the process. She sees the best in people, and if there’s no ‘best’ to be found, she’ll just make one up in her mind. She also gravitates towards strong-willed cats, since she’s at heart an idealist, and a naïve one at that (again, this is her now, and this might change as she gets older). This stems from her obvious daddy-issues. So, while she’ll find some of Kier’s more extreme methods (torture, maiming) physically revolting, she’ll be able to delude herself, at the beginning.
HOW WOULD YOUR CHARACTER GET ALONG WITH SNOWBLISTER? This one is tougher because on one hand it’s easy to see them relating with one another, especially as it relates to loss and guilt. But on the other hand, I imagine Twilightdance would be wary of her. Snowblister seems to be the enforcer from what I can tell between herself and Kier, and her larger size could make her intimidating. Her sermons will likely frighten Twilightdance as well, since she’ll have to participate in them. So, she’ll most likely have a professional respect for her, with a hint of fear.
WHAT IS/WOULD BE YOUR CHARACTER'S OPINION ON THE CURRENT STATE OF NIGHTCLAN? Twilightdance weeps for Nightclan. Make no mistake: her moral alignment is all the way good. She aims to protect innocent life. She’s altruistic and is concerned for the dignity of others. She’ll make personal sacrifices to help others. Now the kicker is, she hasn’t figured out where she wants to be on the whole ‘law vs chaos’ alignment yet. She fluctuates between the lawful good she has in her heart vs the chaotic good she’s repeatedly persuaded to believe in, so she’s sort of fallen in the middle; a neutral good. She was originally a drifter and was hoping to find a home for herself and a place to belong. Somewhere she can be productive, secure, and loved. Aspenstar’s Nightclan was that at the beginning, but it was lost when she lost her mind. Stormreign was her friend, but he did not bring that to fruition. Now it’s Kier’s turn.
HOW WOULD YOUR CHARACTER FEEL ABOUT BEING ASKED TO FAKE SIGNS? She’ll do it. Twilightdance didn’t grow up worshipping Starclan, so she’ll probably gaslight herself into SEEING SOMETHING THERE with a little suggestion from Kier or Snowblister or Eris, and end up believing it herself. And again, she has a benefit of the doubt/ends justify the means mentality despite her idealism. That being said, doing so will eat away at her conscience over time (as time goes by and her lies seem fruitless).
ANY IDEAS FOR PLOTS? (e.g. Clan-wide, just for your character's personal development, etc) I imagine Twilightdance in this role would want to take a lot of fieldtrips to other clans to ask their Medicine Cats for advice. I don’t know if Kier would be very fond of this idea, however, but imagine one of his very best #1 sycophantsTM is really sick and she just has to. I think it’d be interesting to have a sort of hostage crisis. Maybe the other clan is already angry at Nightclan, or perhaps Nightclan’s already taken one of their warriors/queens/kits hostage. Or maybe they conflate the Royal Physician and Medicine Cat roles, and as a result blame Twilightdance for a twisted experiment Eris carried out on one of their own, so they apprehend her to answer for those crimes.
Bonus/Optional Information: Twilightdance is young and misguided. She’s already been inculcated by her mother, via numerous and persistent lessons in etiquette and social conduct. She’s easily swayed by domineering personalities. She’ll try her best, go along with Kier and Snowblister’s schemes, do her part to ensure their success in service of the larger dream. But that’ll be the beginning. Given her moral makeup, Twilightdance will be diametrically opposed to directly participating in any tortures. She can stomach some lies, justify a sprinkling of indoctrination, see the sense in some autocracy. But torture is hard to make sense of or sugar-coat, and might be the very thing that’ll turn her against Kier if it comes to that. After the last straw (whatever that is) and she stops believing in Kier, she’ll simply stay in her role to quietly do what she can to minimize the damage. Her mentality will be simple: “Whoever replaces me will be worse.”
ROLE YOU'RE APPLYING FOR: MCA CAT NAME: Fireflykit BIO: A dark gray she cat with pale peridot eyes. A chaotic free-spirt, she feels like she doesn't have to listen to anybody ever. Her way or the highway, she is often very intense with her loudness, her excitable energy, and her fierce independence. Authority can go kick rocks because her whims come first and last. She enjoys causing problems for the sake of it, and seems to revel in the consequences no matter how cruel they can be. It's almost strange. Loves pranks and practical jokes.
HOW WOULD YOUR CHARACTER GET ALONG WITH KIER?
Honestly, given her free-spirited nature, I can't see Firefly taking Kier too seriously. She doesn't like listening to authority so he'll have a hard time controlling her from the onset. Still she's young and can be taught otherwise with a lot of patience, or quickly with the right scare tactic. Over all I think she'd enjoy being around Kier if only to unintentionally annoy him at every opportunity.
HOW WOULD YOUR CHARACTER GET ALONG WITH SNOWBLISTER?
I would like to say that Firefly would get along with anyone on a surface level, it's just when they try to tell her what to do that she has a problem with. She would feel like she could easily approach Snowblister. She's young and naïve and would make the mistake of assuming Snowblister is just shy. Fortunately or unfortunately for Snowblister depending on how you look at it she would often press for 'girl's nights' in a foolish attempt to bond with her and get her to lighten up.
WHAT IS/WOULD BE YOUR CHARACTER'S OPINION ON THE CURRENT STATE OF NIGHTCLAN?
I am not sure what path I want her to take yet when it comes to being good or evil. However, this NightClan is the only one she has ever known. To Firefly this is just the way things are, how they're supposed to be. I don't think she realizes anything that's happening is inherently wrong yet. It'll definitely take something shocking and eye opening to make her see how awful things truly are.
HOW WOULD YOUR CHARACTER FEEL ABOUT BEING ASKED TO FAKE SIGNS?
Firefly loves to play games and pranks on others. If worded correctly she could be manipulated into thinking that leaving fake signs for the clan is an elaborate hoax. A game just for the staff. She's too young to know that what she's doing is wrong and harmful so, she won't have a problem with it in the beginning. As long as she thinks it's just a prank and is having fun she'll continue to play along and keep it secret.
ANY IDEAS FOR PLOTS?
I don't have any concrete plots or ideas right at this moment :c If I think of any I'll edit this.
