Plot Planning

[Meerful]

PLOT BASIC: After seasons of catastrophic weather, most of the clan cats were forced into war against one another for the depleting resources. Cats often went rogue with the prospect of better feeding, but were only met with cold, disappointment. As time wore on, the clans struggled to stay close-knit, but many were lost in the battles with rival clans and the harsh seasons. Plague and drought continued to ravage them. The clans had begun to lose hope for any redemption, wondering why Starclan had become so silent.Many moons have passed, and suddenly hope seems to have flared up at the last moment. With all clans on the brink and borders weakening with every rogue attack, can the dreams of seven cats, all from different backgrounds, put back together the broken shambles of life?

1. Cat from each clan
2. Two rogues
3. One twoleg cat

IDEA: The plague is preventing healthy kits from being born, or being capable of making it in the world. Clans are struggling for resources. Rogues are getting stronger as more clan cats abandon their clans. My thought is that the twoleg cat can have some sort of way to treat the plague using household plants from the house, maybe even drag them into the forest where they “accidentally” spread and pollinate, making the cure abundant? The clan cats should have premonitions. I donno guys, help me make the meat of this idea.

The kittypet has a cure for the sickness (which is not only a remedy, but a very specific treatment only the kittypet knows). Chosen Clan cats receive visions of this savior, and are seeking to bring the kittypet to their homes so the treatment can be administered. However, news of redemption travels throughout the Clans, causing a new rivalry between them. As borders fire up with new blood-shed, the chosen cats desperately plot together for a way to rescue them all before selfishness ends their world. But, one cat is harboring a secret that could kill them all.

Meanwhile, the rogues of Night are banding together to take their revenge on the weakened Clans. An increase of foxes has been spotted from the moors, moving down into the other lands. With threats looming from within and entrapping them from without, will the Clans be able to battle the coming struggle?


Super sloppy, I know, but it needs buildup anyway XD

here are my thoughts ~~

two cats from two Clans each, I'm thinking maybe RiverClan and WindClan (they don't get enough love) receive dreams about a cure for the illness that destroyed the Clans previously. maybe one of them thinks that they should share it with the other Clans, and the other one wants to keep it a secret, and only save certain cats. maybe one of the cats who wants to share it has a dream about the location of a remedy, and the cat against sharing it (from the other Clan) has the same dream. they both go there at the same time, and realise what the other is doing; realising that the other Clans might know, the cat against sharing it attacks the generous one, trying to kill him/her; then the two rogues step in, breaking up the fight, and when they realise what's going on, they want to share it with the two Clans that are in the dark; however, as they have not been having the dreams and do not know where the Clancats were headed, they don't know what the remedy is, or how to find it. eventually, the kittypet with the remedy, who has been having dreams about being visited by cats in need -- one violent, one not -- ventures out because the two cats still haven't shown up. perhaps s/he gets kidnapped by one of the Clans, and not wanting to disclose the information to those s/he worries should not know about it, s/he refuses to. the relatively generous cat from the scuffle has told his/her leader, and at the next Gathering, the topic comes up. a fight breaks out among those who do/don't want to share it, and escalates from there. eventually, it is made clear that two of the Clans know of the cure, and the other two do not; things get very tense when the two Clans refuse to share, and the Clan with the kittypet realises what his/her purpose is. anyway, that's about as far through as I've thought so far. xD just kinda random, let me know what you think. maybe later on the two rogues can follow the Clancats to the remedy, in order to share it with the two who don't have it?

That sounds beautiful :3 We need to set times/member amounts for each thing to happen though or else it will die out. Like we start the plot after ten people join the site, or start the plot after a month of reopening. Also, Badgersoul is open for being the mean WCer who doesn't want to share the medicine, I am already going to make the fact he can't heal his clan drive him slightly insane :> so it will kinda work out.

[Ferny]

I like the idea :3 and as I'm keeping Windstar as my main and Badgersoul is going a bit insane I think it could be safe to say that Windclan might end up being more of the 'evil' in the plot? xD Cause I'd assume that they'd be more concerned (especially with meddie going crazie x3) with healing their own? As for the kittypet getting catnapped, I think, if wanted by you guys, Windstar can be crazy enough to hold him/her hostage for a bit ;3

In the friendliest way... of course

[Blackie]

Well, as long as there is fighting, I'm down XD

Although, I think there needs to be more major characters for the plot. When there's not enough character slots, not everyone is able to play a role in the main plot and its not really fair. That way, everyone has the chance to interact and play, and no one is gloomy in a corner. Its also really easy for members to disconnect from the plot if it isn't affecting one of their characters, and that's what made the site dwindle last time, in my opinion. So, there needs to atleast be results from the plot that everyone can take part in.

Yeah, that is true, so I'd have to agree. We do need something that would compel members to participate and or worry about what might happen to their characters should 'this' or 'this' happen.
