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.
The Medicine Cat Pilon a very important object to Fallclan Medicine Cat's. A Pilon, or soul stone, is a blessed stone collected from the Great Waterfall in FallClan. When Fallclan MCA's reach the point in their training. StarClan will guide the new medicine cat apprentice towards their destined Pilon at the base of the Waterfall. However, and untrained cat will be sucked into the Pilon and pulled into StarClan. It is there that the current medicine cat will bless their apprentice's stone with a bit of their soul, and StarClan will follow suit. Afterwards, the apprentice will then have control over their Pilon, allowing them to touch the stone freely without being teleported to StarClan. Other cats must not touch a medicine cat's Pilon, as their souls cannot return from StarClan once teleported. From then on, the medicine cats may use their Pilons to contact StarClan immediately rather than having to make the trek all the way to Moon Creek. But beware - a Pilon can only act as a bridge between worlds for so long. After too much time has elapsed, the bond will snap, leaving the medicine cat's soul in StarClan forever. When that happens - a medicine cat's death - their Pilon will turn black regardless of what color is was and lose all its power. It is then up to the apprentice, now medicine cat, to return the Pilon to Moon Creek where it dissolves and releases all the souls within.

ROLEPLAY SITUATIONS [ must respond to all of them so please read them carefully ]
1) An apprentice by the name of Treepaw limps his way into the medicine den, nervousness on his features though he tries his best to look brave. A small trail of blood follows him before he slumps into a sit in the entrance. Lifting his paw, he winces at the sight and grows a little paler. He’s losing quite a bit of blood and the paw seems to be twisted unnaturally. What do you do to assist him without stressing his already shocked mind?
2 ) You’re out in FallClan’s gorgeous and unique terrain, taking your time looking for the necessary herbs to fill your store for the coming leaf-fall and leaf-bare. The air is crisp and cool but refreshing and for a moment you lose yourself in the tranquility of it all, until a growl sounds from your left. Opening your eyes, you glance over to discover a trespasser in FallClan’s land – one that seems to have a mission. He’s out for blood. What do you do? Do you take a democratic position or unleash the inner warrior within?
3) It’s time to pick your first apprentice. You’re nervous, but with StarClan at your side, you know no matter your choice, you will be following the path your ancestors laid for you. Four young felines are lined up in front of the rock you’re perched upon. Eight eyes stare up at you eagerly, shining in anticipation. Each has a unique set of traits you know could merge or clash with your own. You must take your heart out of the situation, though, and do what is best for your Clan. They will be the future healer of your Clan and care for the health and spiritual passing of your Clan. With this in mind, which apprentice do you choose?
* Apprentice A ) The highly excitable and energetic one who can barely keep his paws on the ground despite his best efforts, seeming to vibrate with excitement. He’s constantly blurting out sentences as if he can’t stand the silence that fills the air. He could serve as a great diplomatic bridge between StarClan and your Clanmates, but is he reliable with that much energy and difficulty focusing?
* Apprentice B )The calm and stoic one who keeps her eyes fixed upon you, though quickly glances away as if out of fear. She’s intimidated by the power you wield and the energy flowing from your pelt. Too intimidated to properly hold her ground under your gaze. She seems to be a good listener and would serve as a great apprentice under your helping hand, but does she have what it takes to stand up for what’s right and let her voice be heard? Can she face conflict and tension without cowering?
* Apprentice C ) The arrogant and confident one that keeps his head held high and smirks up at you from your perch, as if believing despite the height difference you’re no better than he is. He has plans to quickly outpace you in every field you will teach him in the coming moons and once he replaces you, he’ll be able to live his life freely without the cautious gaze of his mother on his back. Is he dependable or will he lead the Clan into darkness due to his ego?
* Apprentice D )The calm and friendly one with a gentle smile on his face, though he’s no longer staring up at you, but rather following the intricate flight pattern of a bumble bee as it buzzes about his head. He looks ready to reach out and smack it with a gleeful laugh, though he reigns himself in as much as he can. Still, that bumble bee dances around his face and head, singing its merry tune, and he can’t look away… Is someone who so easily loses his head in the clouds a proper medicine cat apprentice? Or will he doom a patient of yours by giving them the wrong antidote due to daydreaming?

CHARACTER DETAILS
Cat Name: Petrichoraroma
Biography: “Now the Autumn spirit reigneth over mountain, vale and plain, and the Earth, bedecked with symbols of the Autumn-Spirit's reign makes us think about the season of the flowers with a sigh, when life was lush in every tree-love laughed in every eye whilst her lineaments of beauty were imprinted on the sod. When the Spring with Winter wrestled, on that gala-day!" The rushing waters of the waterfall whisper secrets untold of their depths, the meadow buzzes with the flight of a million fireflies all with their own stories to sing, and the garden grown over with gorgeous geraniums sighs in its serenity, reliving its most precious of days. He is as secretive and calm as the rippling river, as reflective as the crystalline lake and as mysterious as what lies within the stone of the abandoned windmill. His voice, soft and serene as the wind caressing the leaves of the trees, tells of a wisdom far beyond his years. He is one with nature, following the cycle of life with dutiful steps. Just as he has come from the earth, so too shall he return to her. “Hark! a singing train of seraphim doth o'er its surface pass! Mark! their flowing robes of flame have singed the green and speary grass! Witness! every tender blade appeareth tipped and tinged with brown." Born within the borders of his autumnal home, he was blessed – and cursed – with the mark of the Arcane. Slowly failing eyesight was his bane, his blue eyes so young and bright with new life slowly glossing over with clouds that seeped in through the edges, turning sapphire blue into periwinkle grey. Despite the bitter cries of his mother, that followed her to her death, and the silence of his father as he turned and didn't look back, the munchkin grey Persian found comfort in the darkness despite the fear that had at one time gripped his heart like the hold of the Reaper himself. With darkness came newfound courage; his senses heightened, he excelled in his studies until he stood as a warrior, proud and strong. He refused to let his disability get the better of him; being blind was not his identity, merely a facet of said identity that made him all the more unique. With such thoughts in mind, he faced the world day in and day out, refusing to allow society and ideals of beauty drag him to the depths. "And the hedge is hemmed with rose-leaves, which their wings have shaken down, though the hind but hears the whirring of ten thousand pinions beat, sees a cloud of birds of passage trail its shadow by his feet, for the pageantry of Heaven hath escaped his optics dim and he sees but birds of passage in the God-sent seraphim." Confident yet humble, wise yet quiet, passionate yet rational. He is a feline of the north wind created by contradiction. He lives his life in such a manner, refusing to bow to normalcy, wading easily through the crowds of those who wish to appease by blending in and transforming unnaturally to appease another's appetite. For him, nothing matters more than the feel of the wind on his face, the crunch of leaves under his toes, and the humming vibration of life stirring within that which others take for granted. "While the Autumn spirit reigneth over mountain, vale and plain, and the Earth is robed in symbols of the Autumn spirit's reign!”
Does your character have any family members in FallClan?: No
What is your character's history?: Petrichoraroma was born in FallClan to two loving parents who, upon discovering he had an ailment that resulted in his eventual complete blindness, sought help for it by the medicine cat though were ultimately turned down. Due to this lack of assistance, his illness rapidly progressed. Once the fever died down, he was once more a perfectly healthy boy – if not for the complete loss of sight he underwent. With his eyes now a milky shade, as if clouds swam in his gaze, his father quickly was unable to accept that his son would no longer live up to the potential he had foreseen. He had quickly left his small family, leaving Petrichor's mother to raise him alone. Despite her fears and overprotective behavior toward her son, she trained him to be the best he could be, resulting in his approval for warrior training and ultimately his success in becoming a triumphant hunter and fighter for FallClan. However, despite his accomplishments in the field of a soldier, his gifts lay far more in the medical field. With his need to care for his own ailments due to the lack of assistance by the medicine cat, he quickly learned herbal remedies and the multi-faceted uses of such herbs through his own exploration and mistakes.
Your character's Pilon: Black Onyx (blocking negativity, patience, determination)
What plot idea do you have in mind for your character?: TBA
How do you see the dynamic between your character and the following staff members:
[ LEADER ] – Bijou played by Oceanix » Their relationship could be interesting, to say the least. Bijou seems to depend upon the scar on his face to intimidate others into believing he has what it takes to go the distance and then some, but in the case of Petrichoraroma, who's unable to be intimidated by such things as he can't see them, he'd find Bijou's behavior to be misplaced and difficult to track. With the tom's attitude swaying one way or the other, the Persian's sure to feel a bit of whiplash in his interactions with the leader, but over time could sense there's some deep seated pain lodged within the white tom's heart. In that light, Petrichoraroma would become more determined to try and crack the leader's shell, which could possibly result in some temporary toxicity between the two due to Bijou's defense maneuvers, but after some continuous dancing back and forth they could form a bond that every leader and medicine cat must have: trust, compassion and friendship.
[ DEPUTY ] – Lostsong played by Spiderheart » I'm of the mind that Lostsong and Petrichoraroma would be very close. It would be a slow burn friendship, but one that would result in their friendship lasting a lifetime and then some. They have much in common that they could bond over, such as their shared sense of being an outcast in a place that's supposed to be called their home (Lostsong with being a rogue who had to fight for her place and Petrichoraroma constantly being silently looked down upon for his disability), as well as their belief that there is more to life and to success than what your claws and a glare can achieve. Lostsong seems to have a deep sense of spirituality within her that Petrichoraroma could connect with and perhaps attach himself to. Conversations would start from there, with questions about her past (as long as she allowed) and moving to her interests. With their personalities being very much the same, it could be assumed that they would clash, as many times when individuals meet a mirror of themselves they reject it, but in this case their shared personality traits could offer them a bridge of communication that doesn't require verbalization. That would be a really cool bond to explore and delve into, in my opinion.
What are your character’s beliefs?: Petrichoraroma believes in StarClan and takes great comfort in knowing his warrior ancestors are watching over him from Silverpelt, but he's also an avid believer in nature itself being a divine entity. It's without a name and a face, but he can sense the life pulsating through the earth and knows that she's listening, watching, shifting and completely sentient. Thus, with each kill he gives thanks to StarClan and the earth for his bounty and the blessing bestowed upon him, as well as looking upon the land he calls home and those lands far beyond their borders with a very different perspective, one immersed in gratitude and awe for the masterpiece that nature and StarClan have bestowed upon he and his kin.
List three (3) herbs your character could find in FallClan’s territory:
ASH TREE SEEDS } May be consumed to fight pain. Fun Fact: The same herb Petrichoraroma took in small doses to assist him during his illness as the migraines behind his eyes increased.
BRAMBLE TWIG } Helps to sleep if chewed into a fine syrup and consumed.
HOPS } Calms or soothes scattered nerves, anxiety, etc.

HAVE YOU BEEN A MEMBER OF FALLCLAN BEFORE: no, but i've wanted to be apart of it since i first joined classic - in fact, it's the clan i've been most desperate and determined to join; i could just never put together the right character that i felt was worthy of putting in a clan that i already held so close to my heart. it's silly, but i really did want to find the right fit so i could properly fall in love with the clan. now, i think i've found it ♥ (sappy much?)
WHAT DO YOU LIKE ABOUT FALLCLAN? everything. i adore the mc/mca pilons - that is such a creative and original idea - and i love the combination of traditional elements with more revolutionary concepts and customs. i love the aesthetic of autumn, and i have more than a little fondness for bijou.
HAVE YOU EVER HELD A STAFF POSITION IN A CLAN BEFORE? once upon a time, on different wetpaint/wikifoundry sites than classic, i was a child with big dreams. which is to say, i was leader once on cinderpaw, twice on warriors fansite, once on warrior origins, and countless times on smaller sites. on classic, my leadership of summerclan is my first staff role ♥
HAVE YOU EVER HELD A POSITION ON CLASSIC BEFORE? previously, no; i was never an active member before its move.
DO YOU CURRENTLY HOLD A STAFF POSITION ON CLASSIC? yes, leader of summerclan.
DO YOU CURRENTLY HOLD A ROLEPLAY POSITION ON CLASSIC? yes, primal instinct's foreign affairs proxy.
WHY DO YOU WANT TO APPLY FOR THIS POSITION? i've always wanted to hold a medical position but, even with all the recent tryouts, something told me to wait for an opportunity i really, really wanted to come up; and now it has - in a clan i truly care about, with a unique system of customs and traditions that i'd love to be apart of. it's been a long-time dream of mine, ever since i first joined my first wetpaint site in 2009 when i was 9 years old, to be a medicine cat or medicine cat apprentice. ♥

CHARACTER DETAILS
CAT NAME: Peppermintpaw / spice
BIOGRAPHY: A thin, dark ginger tabby she-cat with brown eyes, a dark chocolate nose, and smudges of darker fur around her eyes, giving her a permanently exhausted and sour appearance. Her ribs are visible through her fur and her left eye is cloudy and darkened by a too-large pupil; it was infected when she was a kit and she’s only been able to see vague shapes and blurs of colour out of it since. She’s snappy, sarcastic, and dangerously opinionated; rude to patients, insolent to authority figures, blunt with StarClan, and entirely dismissive of kits. She speaks mainly in a disinterested, quietly droll drawl; she has a cutting sense of humour and deadpan delivery, and she rarely takes anything all that seriously. Peppermintpaw is a little bit of a diva, believing she’s always right and everyone else is either irritatingly misinformed or deliberately moronic; she can be cruel, either intentionally or without realising it, and is dismissive of most others’ opinions. Headstrong, impatient, and more than a little arrogant, she has little interest in the bland events of most cats’ lives and treats them as little more than meaningless nuisances. Your mate cheated on you? How unfortunate, here’s some tansy for your wound. Your kit died? One less mouth to feed, and between you and me, they’re more trouble than they’re worth, I don’t see why you’re crying. You lost a life? Plenty more where they came from. With heavy-lidded eyes and a perfectly flat voice, her dismissals can be either cutting or hilarious, depending on where you’re standing; she rarely takes what she’s saying seriously, so it’s your fault if you’re stupid enough to. All that being said, she has a few soft spots: she loves plants and nature far more than she does other cats, and sneaks away to tend to her little garden whenever she gets the chance, often shirking her duties and giving the rebukes little thought when she returns home to anger and disbelief; yeah, yeah, don’t have a heart attack, sweetheart. She loves autumn and the cozy smells of sweet smoke and pumpkin spice from the twolegplace when the weather gets cold; and she loves to be cozy in general, making it a habit to steal comfy things from kittypets’ nests. She loves to listen to cats sing, not-to-secretly enjoys the soap opera drama of watching couples argue, and is weak for effeminate toms and butch she-cats. She enjoys stirring up trouble, even if she hates the clean-up that comes after; loves ghost stories and anything spooky, especially if she can terrorise kits with it; and she likes to spend an hour or two each day searching for four-leaf clovers. She hates herself — thinks she’s too unkind, too bitter, not enough talent — and uses snark and contempt to cover it up and push others away. But she ultimately has a good and noble heart and is a committed, creative, and efficient medicine cat — she’s obsessive about her work, working herself to the bone and forgoing sleep and food if it means helping just one more cat. She blames herself for any death or injury she can’t solve; it haunts her. She doesn’t like to have cats on the side of her impaired eye, and wears a soft, burnt-orange snood scarf that she pinched from a kittypet’s nest on the edge of twolegplace. Suffers from survivor’s guilt. She has a cousin in the League, Eshek, through a sister of the latter’s father, but this relation isn’t known to either of them.
POSITIVE TRAITS: dedicated, stubborn with causes she believes in, a good storyteller, bold, brilliant sense of humour NEGATIVE TRAITS: dismissive, short-tempered, self-loathing, contemptuous, obsessive
DOES YOUR CHARACTER HAVE ANY FAMILY MEMBERS IN FALLCLAN? no
WHAT IS YOUR CHARACTER'S HISTORY? WHERE ARE THEY FROM? WHAT HAVE THEY DONE? born in fallclan to absent parents, she was forced to grow up quickly and raise herself; she distanced herself from the rest of the clan, becoming stubbornly self-reliant and independent and seeing any offer of help as an accusation of weakness on her part. she knew from a young age that she had little interest in pursuing the path of a warrior and, when she was offered the chance to be a medicine cat instead, she knew it was the calling she was meant for. her mother was formerly of primal instinct, unbeknownst to peppermint. when she was a kit, she got dust in her eye, which led to infection and, ultimately, the loss of vision in that eye. it's something she's bitter about - how it could have been taken from her by something as simple and avoidable as dust. she views it as a sign that starclan disapproves of her as medicine cat.
YOUR CHARACTER'S PILON: morganite — a heart chakra stone that carries the energy of divine love and compassion; an excellent stone for emotional trauma, it helps you come to terms with past pain and see the meaning and purpose of it in the larger path of your life. it helps you to release the heartache and learn the lessons it was meant to show you, in order to transform pain and trauma into wisdom and compassion.
WHAT PLOT IDEA DO YOU HAVE IN MIND FOR YOUR CHARACTER? i'd love for her to have a friendship with a sweet, bubbly cat that she can just roll her eyes and snap at and secretly be fond of. clan-wise, it could be interesting if she's kidnapped and held hostage by an enemy of fallclan for ransom; negotiations take a while, purposefully delayed by her captors, and she grows to believe that she's been left here by bijou. when she's eventually released, she's bitter and quietly traumatised, thinking they had left her there to rot. it affects her relationship with the clan and she grows more resentful and silently hurt by the day, her mood decreasing even further, until she eventually undermines them by offering her services to another enemy group and plotting to make them pay. because the only thing scarier than a cat with dark ambition is a scorned cat with medical knowledge and a dangerous grudge, and i love the idea of a villainous leader teaming up with a medicine cat to wreak havoc. on a more positive note, i'm just living for the thought of all her interactions with bijou - going on quests as a mismatched pair, all that jazz.
HOW DO YOU SEE THE DYNAMIC BETWEEN YOUR CHARACTER AND THE FOLLOWING STAFF MEMBERS:
[ LEADER ] — bijou: i think peppermintpaw would be a source of blunt, honest advice for him to fall back on; she doesn't lie, and she says it exactly how it is, even if she hurts the other cat's feelings. he would always be able to rely on her to give her impartial judgement and counsel, in matters personal or professional, and she'd always be there for a few snarky, deadpan words to cheer him up if he ever needed it. they'd be like the best sorta drinking buddies - so-and-so broke your heart? get over it, don't be a baby, have another beer. (but she secretly cares about him and he knows it and it's healthy and Wholesome)
[ DEPUTY ] — lostsong: i feel like lostsong would be one of the few cats peppermintpaw can stand; the deputy is calm and composed and respectable, and she doesn't say or do stupid, annoying things, so peppermint would be more likely to openly back her and support her ideas than she would other cats. she'd begrudgingly admire her passion, and have a definite soft spot for her.
WHAT ARE YOUR CHARACTER'S BELIEFS? she believes in starclan, even if she thinks they're idiots, but she also believes in the magic of the natural world.
LIST THREE HERBS YOUR CHARACTER COULD FIND IN FALLCLAN TERRITORY: all about that autumn aesthetic with these colours ♥
marigold — soothes and heals infections and wounds when applied as a poultice.
goldenrod — relieves aching joints and stiffness, and can also heal and relieve the pain of wounds.
dried oak leaves — can help stop infections.
ROLEPLAY SITUATIONS
SITUATION ONE: An apprentice by the name of Treepaw limps his way into the medicine den, nervousness on his features though he tries his best to look brave. A small trail of blood follows him before he slumps into a sit in the entrance. Lifting his paw, he winces at the sight and grows a little paler. He’s losing quite a bit of blood and the paw seems to be twisted unnaturally. What do you do to assist him without stressing his already shocked mind?
ANSWER: Peppermintpaw would use aspen tree bark or chamomile to soothe him and alleviate trauma so she can work; she'd then use a poultice of broom to treat the break in his paw and reduce any resulting inflammation. if his shock at the incident develops into a genuine breakdown, she would also administer thyme leaves to calm him down, and give him wormwood to chew on for the pain and a stick to bite down on when she re-sets the paw, if she determines that's a possibility. Beyond medicine, she'd talk to him to keep him occupied and distracted - tell him irrelevant stories in her low, disinterested drawl, gossip about the high-up members of the Clan, anything to ensure his mind is focused anywhere but the pain and to soothe him with a sense of normality and no-big- deal-ness. If he faints, she'll make him comfortable and continue to quietly treat him where she can, waiting for him to regain consciousness without fussing or making a big event out of it; she'd want him to feel like this is an everyday occurrence and, stupid as he was to do this to himself, he's going to be just fine.
SITUATION TWO: You’re out in FallClan’s gorgeous and unique terrain, taking your time looking for the necessary herbs to fill your store for the coming leaf-fall and leaf-bare. The air is crisp and cool but refreshing and for a moment you lose yourself in the tranquility of it all, until a growl sounds from your left. Opening your eyes, you glance over to discover a trespasser in FallClan’s land – one that seems to have a mission. He’s out for blood. What do you do? Do you take a democratic position or unleash the inner warrior within?
ANSWER: Fiery and feisty as Peppermintpaw, she knows her limitations and she'd go the diplomatic route, attempting to bore and/or dissuade him with her disinterested, deadpan voice long enough for a patrol to find them, or for her to wear him down and convince him to either come back to camp with her or leave altogether. She may even offer herself as a hostage for negotiation purposes - anything to keep her Clan safe. If it came to a fight, however, she'd do all she possibly could to hold him off, even if it cost her her life in the process.
SITUATION THREE: It’s time to pick your first apprentice. You’re nervous, but with StarClan at your side, you know no matter your choice, you will be following the path your ancestors laid for you. Four young felines are lined up in front of the rock you’re perched upon. Eight eyes stare up at you eagerly, shining in anticipation. Each has a unique set of traits you know could merge or clash with your own. You must take your heart out of the situation, though, and do what is best for your Clan. They will be the future healer of your Clan and care for the health and spiritual passing of your Clan. With this in mind, which apprentice do you choose?
ANSWER: Apprentice A. Peppermintpaw is of the mind that reverence has no place in interactions with StarClan, and that any cat who cowers or averts their eyes in the presence of their ancestors is not fit to be a medicine cat - they have to be able to stand up to them and argue if need be. That immediately eliminates Apprentice B. She would choose the first apprentice because his love and passion for healing and for his Clanmates will make him a loyal, devoted, compassionate medicine cat who could discover new cures and do great things, and she's positive she can channel his youthful spirit and excitability into a true eagerness to learn, even if it would occasionally grate on her nerves. He also wouldn't hesitate to stand up to StarClan for the greater good and for what he feels is right in his heart, something she values above all else.

The ranks in FallClan are also very interesting to me, while it is still kind of traditional it has a fun twist to it with there being hunters/fighters/defenders ect... Also the fact that you can have a nursery aid, say if you made a cat with a disability or one who can't fight, it gives them a place among their clan where they can strive and grow while being comfortable in their abilities.

CHARACTER DETAILS
Cat Name: Sycamorestomp
Biography: Sycamorestomp is a tom of few words, choosing his battles with the carefulness of a mother handling her newborn kit he opts to speak out when and only when he feels there is no other option, he doesn't often let situations become uncontrolable and when it looks as such he quickly steps in to calm it. Thoughtful to the opinions and words of others he is not quick to judge before he has a true understanding of something, though once he does don't be surprised if you do not like his response or actions, he will do or say what he truly believes to be best despite any disagreement on the matter. Sycamorestomp does have an issue with his temper from time to time, do not come to him if you are simply going to dismiss him when he tries to help. He does not appreciate being talked down to, and cats lacking respect are top of the list when it comes to making him angry. Aside from his short fuse Sycamorestomp is for the most part a kind soul, though a bit stern at times he does not make it a point to ruffle fur where it is not due. The tom is a bit of a perfectionist, taking great pride in his duties and wanting to be sure everything he does is done in such a way that confusion is not an issue. He can be hard to get on with when he is having a moment of OCD,
Does your character have any family members in FallClan?: No
What is your character’s history?: Sycamorestomp was born in FallClan, his mother and father now deceased due to old age. He started out as a warrior apprentice but quickly realized his true path lay as a medicine cat, he was always more skilled in herbs than fighting or hunting, being sick often as a kit he spent a lot of time in the medicine cats den which is what pushed him to want to be a warrior. When the time came though, he found himself being drawn back to the herb scented den that fill most of his earliest memories.
Your character's Pilon : Sodalite - Courage and creative expression. Helps people to be more objective and less critical about the ways to deals with existence. Help develop the third eye. Teaches one to examine goals after they are achieved. Alleviates internal conflicts between the conscious and the unconscious.

ROLEPLAY SITUATIONS
1) An apprentice by the name of Treepaw limps his way into the medicine den, nervousness on his features though he tries his best to look brave. A small trail of blood follows him before he slumps into a sit in the entrance. Lifting his paw, he winces at the sight and grows a little paler. He’s losing quite a bit of blood and the paw seems to be twisted unnaturally. What do you do to assist him without stressing his already shocked mind?
2 ) You’re out in FallClan’s gorgeous and unique terrain, taking your time looking for the necessary herbs to fill your store for the coming leaf-fall and leaf-bare. The air is crisp and cool but refreshing and for a moment you lose yourself in the tranquility of it all, until a growl sounds from your left. Opening your eyes, you glance over to discover a trespasser in FallClan’s land – one that seems to have a mission. He’s out for blood. What do you do? Do you take a democratic position or unleash the inner warrior within?
3) It’s time to pick your first apprentice. You’re nervous, but with StarClan at your side, you know no matter your choice, you will be following the path your ancestors laid for you. Four young felines are lined up in front of the rock you’re perched upon. Eight eyes stare up at you eagerly, shining in anticipation. Each has a unique set of traits you know could merge or clash with your own. You must take your heart out of the situation, though, and do what is best for your Clan. They will be the future healer of your Clan and care for the health and spiritual passing of your Clan. With this in mind, which apprentice do you choose?
* Apprentice A ) The highly excitable and energetic one who can barely keep his paws on the ground despite his best efforts, seeming to vibrate with excitement. He’s constantly blurting out sentences as if he can’t stand the silence that fills the air. He could serve as a great diplomatic bridge between StarClan and your Clanmates, but is he reliable with that much energy and difficulty focusing?
* Apprentice B )The calm and stoic one who keeps her eyes fixed upon you, though quickly glances away as if out of fear. She’s intimidated by the power you wield and the energy flowing from your pelt. Too intimidated to properly hold her ground under your gaze. She seems to be a good listener and would serve as a great apprentice under your helping hand, but does she have what it takes to stand up for what’s right and let her voice be heard? Can she face conflict and tension without cowering?
* Apprentice C ) The arrogant and confident one that keeps his head held high and smirks up at you from your perch, as if believing despite the height difference you’re no better than he is. He has plans to quickly outpace you in every field you will teach him in the coming moons and once he replaces you, he’ll be able to live his life freely without the cautious gaze of his mother on his back. Is he dependable or will he lead the Clan into darkness due to his ego?
* Apprentice D )The calm and friendly one with a gentle smile on his face, though he’s no longer staring up at you, but rather following the intricate flight pattern of a bumble bee as it buzzes about his head. He looks ready to reach out and smack it with a gleeful laugh, though he reigns himself in as much as he can. Still, that bumble bee dances around his face and head, singing its merry tune, and he can’t look away… Is someone who so easily loses his head in the clouds a proper medicine cat apprentice? Or will he doom a patient of yours by giving them the wrong antidote due to daydreaming?
