Physical Description: An average sized, lanky cat with brown-gray fur and darker markings. Leveret is a typical spotted tabby Mau, and although he is not quite up to breeding quality, he makes a great companion to his twolegs and has a handsomely refined facial structure - if he does say so himself.

Furcadia Description: Leveret is a lanky male cat with light gray-brown fur and darker spots. His face is well shaped, with an almost chiseled appearance; its refined structure marks him unmistakably as an Egyptian Mau. Bright green eyes keep a vigilant watch on his surroundings, and a dark pink nose is constantly finding its way into places it doesn't belong. [Kittypet; Neutered]

Summarized Description: A neutered brown spotted tabby Egyptian Mau.

History: Born in a Mau cattery, Leveret was purchased by his twolegs when he was deemed to be below breeding quality by the cattery's owner. He was neutered and sent on his way to his new life, which he finds quite pleasant.

Personality: Fun-loving, playful, and quick to make trouble, Lev's personality can be boiled down into one word: Energetic. This fact gave him his name, which is the term for a young hare. Whether it's chewing on power cords, batting at blinds, or racing through his twolegs' house, this cat is rarely holding still longer than a catnap's length. He thinks himself quite handsome, and often spends an hour or two at a time ensuring that he is groomed well enough that everyone else will think so, too.

Sample Roleplay Post(s): Rowantail hisses, rolling onto his side as Silverfish jumps at him; his right front paw hovers above him to push back at the she-cat's chest while his hind paws coil, ready to strike out. The tomcat lays his ears back, a scowl on his face. "You're gonna wake up Sandstar, and then we'll both be in trouble." He pushes at the other warrior's chest with his raised forepaw, long tail whipping side to side behind him. "Besides, I'm only s'posed to guard the entrance. If some spy sneaks in through the warriors' den, it's your problem. Gerroff." Hmph.

Do you have any other characters in the dream? If so, who? Dust-tail, Talltail, Rowantail

Title: Fang - Loner. Classification: Loner

Login name: Fang

Character name: (if different): n/a

Character gender: Male

Physical Description: The tom is stout with a thickset body; muscular as opposed to overweight. His head is solid gray tabby, throat and underbelly marked white beneath a mantle of the gray tabby markings that extends down either side of his torso like a saddle. Tail is thick and also tabby colored, and errant tabby markings also occur on his muscular front legs.

Furcadia Description: Thickly furred pelt clings to the muscular frame of this battered gray tabby and conceals faintly healed scars from past scuffles with rival toms. Underbelly is marked with a wide stripe of white fur, with a dark ash-colored band of equal width beginning between pricked ears and running down his spine to mingle with silvered hairs. Wide paws conceal sharp, hooked talons, and his upper fangs protrude from his muzzle to give him his chosen name. Untrusting of most clan cats, he generally gives them a wide berth, though is not entirely unfriendly towards them. (Loner)

Summarized Description: Fang - Muscular grey tabby

History: Seasons ago, Fang belonged to a family that lived miles down the road from where MoorClan territory stands. They were an indifferent couple that was far more used to raising dogs bred for field work. To them, a cat's purpose was to exist and catch mice, and little else. For fear of aggravating their precious dogs, their nameless kitten was restricted to the shed which they had erected in their yard. Not a kittypet, but not a loner either, Fang lived off of the mice that lived in burrows beneath the floorboard and the occasional bowl of dry kittypet food if his owners remembered to purchase any.

Personality: Fang, in true loner fashion, mostly keeps to himself, though will share the loner cave with other cats to escape the bitter cold of leaf-bare and baking heat of greenleaf. Amongst other loner toms he has a tendency to be territorial, far too used to fighting for territory to accept another cat off the bat. Untrusting of most clan cats, he generally gives them a wide berth, though is not entirely unfriendly towards them.

Roleplay example(s): Cedarclaw leapt over the barrier of bracken that encircled the camp and landed with a thud on all four paws. At the sound of Talonpaw's yowl, his warrior blood rose, and he snarled fiercely at the intruder that threw mocking jeers at his apprentice. "Intruder!", he growled, hackles raised and tail bristling. "What is your business in Fieldclan territory, trading insults with an apprentice no less?" Cedarclaw stood his ground and waited for the strange tom to answer.

----------------------------

Cedarclaw's eyes flashed red with fury at the rogue's indifferent attitude. Teeth bared in a vicious snarl, the tabby warrior sprung at the rogue with unsheathed claws. A heavy blow was aimed at the side of the tom's head, to knock him off balance away from the heavily-pregnant queen. The last thing the clan needed was for Foxleaf to be injured enough to lose her kits.

--------------------------------

Cedarclaw aimed another swipe at the rogue as he stalked a tight circle around him. "You are unwelcome on our territory!" he spat, drawing himself up to loom over the bleeding rogue. So intent was he on driving the tom from their territory, that he had no idea of the miracle of birth that took place mere fox-lengths from where they fought.

---------------------

Cedarclaw had sidestepped so to avoid Talonpaw's initial surge at the rogue. Infuriated at the strange cat's arrogance, the metallic scent of blood taking over his senses, the tom threw his head to the sky to yowl a vicious battle cry. With his powerful muscles rippling, the tom leapt in the air to bring a punishing blow on the rogue tom's back. Unfortunately for Cedarclaw, the rogue pushed Talonpaw off of him just as he had timed his leap. Colliding with his own apprentice in mid-air the tom fell, winded, on the ground in a rumpled heap.

Underbelly is marked with a wide stripe of white fur, with a dark ash-colored band of equal width beginning between pricked ears and running down his spine to mingle with silvered hairs. Wide paws conceal sharp, hooked talons, and his upper fangs portrude from his muzzle to give him his chosen name. Untrusting of most clan cats, he generally gives them a wide berth, though is not entirely unfriendly towards them. (Loner)

History: Seasons ago, Fang belonged to a family that lived miles down the road from where Fieldclan territory stands. They were an indifferent couple that was far more used to raising dogs bred for field work. To them, a cat's purpose was to exist and catch mice, and little else.

Not a kittypet, but not a loner either, Fang lived off of the mice that lived in burrows beneath the floorboard and the occasional bowl of dry kittypet food if his owners remembered to purchase any.

Life went on like this for the young tom for a little over a year, until the family was forced to move after the male Twoleg lost his job. Stuffing their cat into a carrier, they drove to the neighboring farmland, unceremoniously dumping their cat on the farmland's property before driving off with their dogs in tow. Confused and scared in his new surroundings, the young tom hid for days in the Twoleg barn, until the resident collie gave him the scare of his life one morning and chased him all the way toward what the clan cats refer to as Fourtrees. Many seasons passed before the tom grew used to the idea that he was free to roam where he pleased without the threat of being shut up in a twoleg nest. In time, Fang learned about the Clans after run-ins with other loners like himself, and quickly figured out that keeping his distance from them was the smartest course of action.

Other Characters: Cedarclaw, Smokefur

Detailed Explanations of Each Section:

Classification: Is your character a loner, rogue, or kittypet? If you are unsure about how to classify your character, see the definitions in the above post.

Login Name: The name you use to log into Furcadia - NOT YOUR FORUM LOGIN. It is most preferred and encouraged that your FURCADIA log-in name is the same as your character's name. However, if your name of choice is taken, you may place an "x" before or after the name (xThornclaw, Alderpaw x , etcetera). The FURCADIA login name needs to be as similar to the IC name as possible.

Desired Character Age: A kit cannot be 12 moons, and a 3 moon old warrior would be absurd. This is so we can double check that people aren't making characters who are 20 years old when they should be 3!

Gender: Intact male, intact female, male neuter, or female spay. ALL PEDIGREE CHARACTERS MUST BE SPAYED/NEUTERED. All kittypet applicants MUST indicate whether the character is intact or altered (spayed (f)/neutered (m)). This includes barn cats. If your kittypet character has not been altered, please provide a brief explanation as to why. Be aware that refusing to alter an animal may cause or contribute to behavioral problems in the home. Please also note that shelters require all adopted animals (cats AND dogs) to be spayed or neutered BEFORE or IMMEDIATELY AFTER adoption, so if your history includes any time spent at a shelter, the character must be fixed.

Reference Photo: This is required. It MUST be a photograph or drawing of a non-pedigree cat, full body (no face shots!), and unedited (black and white counts as edited). There are numerous photo sites on the internet you can use to find pictures of feral domestic cats.

Physical Description: Describe what your character looks like. Their coat coloring and pattern, build, and any physical characteristics you deem important. This should be at least 3-5 sentences.

Furcadia Description: Post the description your character has on Furcadia.

Summarized Description: Describe your character's appearance just like the first few pages of the Warriors' books do it. This is how your character will be listed on the Clan pages on our website.

Examples:

Bracken - Brown tabby she-cat with part of his tail missing

Patch - Tortoiseshell she-cat with pale green eyes

Princess - Gray she-cat

History: If there is nothing remarkable about your character's history, you can simply put something like "Born to his/her mother, ____, and raised uneventfully." However, if you ever want something out of the ordinary about your character's history, including but not limited to crazy relatives, exiled relatives, relations to leaders, things majorly against the warrior code, visions from StarClan, and past murderers/major crimes (yes, these are all things people have suddenly decided to do without approval after being accepted), it NEEDS TO BE APPROVED HERE. Any cat who is not Clan-born has minimal knowledge of the Clans or StarClan. Please keep this in mind.

Personality: Describe your character's personality. What makes them tick, how they behave among their Clanmates and in battle, etc.

Any cat who is not Clan-born has minimal knowledge of the Clans or StarClan. Please keep this in mind.

Website (if applicable): If you have a website for your character you may include it. If you don't, don't worry about it.

Sample Roleplay Post(s): Give an example(s) of how you roleplay. There is no length minimum or maximum, or subject requirement - post what you're comfortable with. You may copy/paste from a logfile. Any genre is fine. Be prepared for mild critiquing.)

Do you have any other characters in the dream? If so, who? Please be aware that we only allow FIVE characters per ONE player, otherwise we'd be a dream of alts. Even with this rule, it only takes three players to get fifteen characters in the dream. There could be 30 names in the dream, but only six people - doesn't that seem a bit skewed? Now imagine if we allowed 10 alts per one person...
