PERSONALITY

He is a morose and sullen character with a vivid imagination. He properly functions as a minor antagonist, who is driven first by his self-interest and will intervene cleverly to manipulate a situation favourable to him. He is incredibly judgmental and it does not take long for him to find something to despise about the people he lives with. He is scornful and mean to the vast majority of people, and prefers to be left alone, defending himself with a sarcastic and witty tongue—and at some points, his paws.

Yet almost hypocritically, he is a young romantic, an admirer of poetry and the beauty of physical nature and the cosmos. He is often engrossed with contemplation. He keeps these thoughts bottled up and will explain them to someone he trusts in passionate prose. Moments like this reveal a softer and genuinely heartfelt nature of Ravenpaw that is difficult to come by: the universal desire to feel loved and understood.​

"Not busy, are you?" Ravensong's low, foreign-accented voice suddenly cut into the quiet hum of camp life. A shadow had crossed his path and he looked up to see the patched figure of Iciclefang. The last time they had spoke an actual conversation—they were both in quite different spots than they were now. Ravenpaw, freshly orphaned from his mentor and without his name, and Iciclefang wounded from her attempt to save Ashpaw's life.

He wondered what she thought of the ginger tabby's return. Needless to say, from his limited view of what happened at the border—something had gone wrong. Whether Iciclefang had any part of that strange altercation was none of his business. Still, of course, curiousity gnawed at his gut. He had enough sense—now, in comparison to his warrior apprentice days—to know when to keep his mouth shut.

"I need help making another nest in the den. Some kits tore one up trying to play with Catfishpaw." His ear flicked his annoyance. An apprentice task, perhaps, but it had to be done.

    RAVENSONG of RIVERCLAN
    LH BLACK POLYDACTYL MALE (CARRYING CINNAMON, DILUTE) a tall, slender creature with pitch-black feathery fur, large ears, and a sharply angled skull held up in an aloof manner. smells of dried herb, speaks with a low and rumbly accent and walks with an elegant slinking gait.

    born in twolegplace and orphaned at a young age, he joined riverclan at its inception and began training as a drypaw warrior known for a bitter temperment until beesong made him his medicine cat apprentice. after his mentor's untimely death, he had been named ravensong at the moonstone, young heart revitalized with anger and guilt. he is a somber and thorough medicine cat that guards every word spoken in the confines of his den.

    secretly loves "the stars but not so much what inhabits them"
    openly suffers from chronic migraines
    single, but "it's complicated"

The coughs, grunts, and sighs of the cats huddled in Carrionplace slough away as Ravensong feels the weight of the world give underneath his body. In the haze of his sickness, he welcomes the moments where his sleep is pure and uninterrupted. A fitting and content end, to lie transposed in the crossroads of the universe. He knows peace for a precious few moments and then as soon as he moves (somehow not of his volition, no—! He would never disturb such a peace from his own mind) he finds himself surrounded by tall, concrete nests with sloping roofs and clear sheens of material that looks and feels like ice.

Twolegplace is jumbled in his dreams and although he cannot see it and could not tell you how he knew this, it is an undisputable fact in his dream that he knows it has stretched over all of the Clan's territories, contaminating it like the rogues had. And what a Twolegplace it was! The monsters do not roar, they purr, and they run upside down with their paws in the air. He looks to his left and in one of the gardens, there is a pond and fish the size of full-grown cats swim about in it. They look like normal fish but they have front paws that resemble a rabbit's. Then he looks up and the geometry of the Twoleg nests would seem off to an ordinary cat, but in his mind, it all makes sense.

"I believe I am the only cat left." He muses, remaining rooted to the ground. He cannot move his paws, somehow, even if he wanted too.

"In the entire world."

  • HEATHKIT of WINDCLAN
    LH FEMALE WHITE SOLID (MASKING RED TABBY, MASKING BLACK, CARRYING DILUTE) a tiny creature with snow-white feathery fur and pale blue eyes. her facial features are soft, giving the impression of an almost eternal youth. smells of nursery milk, she does not speak, and her walk is described as careful and purposeful.

    born to heavy snow and brightshine and raised with pink-kit, downykit, and finchkit, heathkit was determined to be completely deaf in both ears when she was two moons old.
    while heathkit has learned to navigate the world in her own way, she may lash out physically when she becomes overwhelmed and unable to understand what is going on. as of now, heathkit cannot "read lips" and relies on facial expressions to get the idea of the situation and the vibrations from pawsteps to know what is around her.
    every windclan cat should know she has congenital hearing loss. cats from other clans might not and are welcome to speculate

  • TANGLEKIT of SHADOWCLAN
    LH FEMALE BLUE TABBY WITH RUFISM (CARRYING UNKNOWN) a rather elegantly framed creature with thickly-striped blue mackerel tabby fur and dark amber eyes. she could be described as a rugged beauty, with a less naturally youthful look to her face and more stern, fierce features. smells of nursery milk, she speaks purposefully sugary and sweet (perhaps to some cats' ire), and her walking gait is dramatic and pompous.

    born to smogmaw and halfshade and raised alongside halfkit and birdkit, tanglekit was orphaned at birth. she handles this fact quite well and makes an effort to show that she has not been hindered in any way from the death of her mother or absence of her father...

  • STORMPAW of THUNDERCLAN
    LH FEMALE TORBIE WITH HIGH WHITE (CARRYING DILUTE) a small and slight creature with patches of black tabby and red tabby fur and bright blue eyes. her facial features are round, obscured by a heavy feathering of fur around her cheeks. smells of oak wood and basil, her voice has a rough, raspy edge to it that sometimes peaks into higher pitches, and her gait is described as firm and solid.

    born to flycatcher and flamewhisker and raised alongside her brother falconpaw, stormpaw was always hyper-aware of an expectation of excellence hanging over her. she fails to excel at hunting, the skill her parents are most known for, and struggles with a severe identity crisis revolving around her obsession with thunderclan as the savior of the clans. she finds herself lost without meaning when she tries to detach herself from thunderclan as a whole, and uses a religious fervor in starclan to distract herself from her mental crisis.

NOVEMBER 2023 RIVERCLAN MCA INTEREST CHECK

after suffering delusions from yellowcough, ravensong has been forced to face his inevitable mortality and has now decided he must take on an apprentice. the clan might not know it, but their scrawny medicine cat is watching all of them now with hollowed eyes as he recovers, deciding on who will be his successor...

please read and make sure to review the S/HP guide and the MCA/MC section of the rank guide before applying! let me know if you have questions.



    • The character must have been created before this interest check. Characters made after or for the sole purpose of posting for this interest check will not qualify.
    • Character must be active. I will consider all interest forms equally, staff or non-staff, old or new members. I look for consistency and stability in activity as well.
    • Character may be between kit age to warrior age. As long as your character is not nearing retirement, they qualify. Ravensong does not have a preference for the age of his apprentice.

  • Does my character need to be in good standing with Ravensong?
    Not necessarily—I'm open to plots and will take everything into consideration!

    Does my character have to believe in StarClan?
    Ravensong is a medicine cat that struggles with faith in StarClan and the outcome of that mental battle may determine his fate. He does not openly disclose his struggle because of the social ramifications. He will be less inclined to take on an apprentice who openly disbelieves StarClan as he wants to ensure the living connection between RiverClan and StarClan but it is likely he will be resentful of an apprentice who is fervent in their belief. I'm definitely open to talk more about this—but in the end, your character does not have to believe in StarClan but it is preferred they did to some extent.

    What can I expect with Ravensong as a mentor?
    Ravensong is a cat who loves to teach and share (read, show off) his knowledge. He is still very young, however, and used to having the place by himself so he is almost constantly burned out or refuses help even when he needs it most. Working through the yellowcough pandemic and falling ill himself has made Ravensong hyperaware of his mortality and his existential gloominess has shadowed his personality more heavily than before. Yellowcough has also left chronic symptoms on his body, so your character will also be working with the physical affects of that as well as the aforementioned mental ones.

    Ravensong is a "secretive" cat and has always established the medicine den as a place where cats can speak whatever they may like or keep their conditions disclosed or private. He will want to instill this way of going about business in his medicine cat apprentice as well.

    For what medical knowledge he holds, see the medicine den in the RiverClan discord.



    • Consistent and friendly activity both in the board through posting and engagement with the community and HP team on Discord
      • Following this, it is a requirement that you are in RiverClan's Discord
    • Must not have a MC/MCA in another Clan
    • Be able to make the fifteen posts per month requirement for RiverClan HPs.
    • Must be willing to work with me/Ravensong—I'd love for him to have a deeply plotted relationship with his apprentice
    • Being respectful, patient, and polite during the interest check—and after!
