SHADOWCLAN MENTOR & APPRENTICE TRACKER

[halimede]

Character's Name: murkypaw (@MURKYPAW)
Activity Level: - active (aiming for at least 15 posts per month)
What kind of mentor are you after: - murkypaw is not a nice cat and is constantly trying to prove himself. while he is a hard worker and devoted to his clan, his attitude can definitely make a mentor/apprentice relationship with him difficult. any mentor that can handle him and not take it too personally would be a good fit.

[CHERVILSHADE]

Character's Name: @CHERVILKIT
Activity Level: I will try to aim for at least 10 posts per month but I can't guarantee it. I'd characterize her as casual for now
What kind of mentor are you after: I would love a patient mentor that lets her grow in her own time and space, especially one that is used to dealing with a cat with chronic illness. I wouldn't mind a casual mentor! I'm also okay with any mentor tbh but I really don't want any really angsty mentorship

 

[DEERPAW -]

Character's Name: @DEERPAW
Activity Level: casual, subject to change
What kind of mentor are you after: a hunting specialist, someone who will nurture deerpaw's curiosity and clinical nature; or perhaps try to stifle it, though this will ultimately be in vain.

-- bonus reassignment plot is their current mentor will retire to elderdom :3 this apprenticeship may also be extended for injury reasons.

 

[beatles]

Character's Name: @ROOSTERSTRUT
Activity Level: casual
What kind of mentor are you: very patient and empathetic, may act as an older brother at times. will be there to support and protect your character (if needed). roosterstrut is a decent fighter who is not above his own weaknesses and flaws, so hopefully they can learn from one another.
Traits you intend to pass down: loyalty, respect for others (especially higher ups), and strong combat skills

 

[LIVIDSMOKE]

Character's Name: @LIVIDKIT
Activity Level: - low to semi-active
What kind of mentor are you after: - anyone is fine with me

 

[tasmagoric]

Character's Name: @THORNKIT
Activity Level: Active (Casual or Active mentors are fine!)
What kind of mentor are you after: I'd prefer someone that could be very calculating and cold or very loyal and calm. A character I could build her personality off of and mirror. She'll be an excellent student but very reserved and quiet. Taking a more stern attitude towards situations and less driven by emotions.

 

[KARMEN]

Character's Name: @MIREPURR
Activity Level: Active
What kind of mentor are you: Mirepurr would be a great mentor for someone who is maybe a bit shy or otherwise reserved, as their happy-go-lucky and affectionate personality would go a long way to gently but surely shove someone out of their comfort zone! They're patient and kind, giving plenty of compliments and believing the best way to teach someone is through positive reinforcement, not berating them for mistakes.
Traits you intend to pass down: Sense of responsibility, patience, combat skills.

 

[Scorchedmoon]

Character's Name: @Scorchedmoon
Activity Level: - Semi-active to casual
What kind of mentor are you: - Scorchedmoon is the fun mentor! While he will take his duty seriously, he wants to try and make it enjoyable more than anything. He will listen to his apprentice's concerns fully as well, since he does genuinely care. Might be a little blunt on accident, however.
Traits you intend to pass down: - Stealth, courtesy​

[Kitty-Kat-]

Character's Name: @Maggotfur.
Activity Level: active! averages around 10-15 posts a month (it slowed a bit during this big exile plot, but will be increasing again now that silt is gone)
What kind of mentor are you: Maggie is a rather hard mentor to have - abrasive, blunt, and far too cynical in her opinions. However, for every tongue lashing and every condescending comment, she gives just as much passion and protectiveness towards her apprentice. It's clear once one hangs around her long enough that she simply struggles to be honest about how much she cares, and her way of affection is to tease and roughhouse with others. She will do her utmost best to pass on all she knows, and to build them into a strong warrior the only way she knows how, even if her methods are a bit rough around the edges. She is notably skilled in all things survivalism - she is likely to encourage her apprentice to learn more than just typical hunting and fighting skills, such as how to forage for edible plants, insects, or even less serious things like shiny trinkets. Notably doesn't believe in fighting fair in battle and will hopefully pass down her viciousness in battle to whoever she trains.
Traits you intend to pass down: ferocity, tenacity

 

[nya]

Character's Name: @snowykit
Activity Level: casual-to-active
What kind of mentor are you after: no preference! she is excited to get a move on and has shown signs thus far of being a half decent hunter.

* for february meeting :3c

 

[HaggisBeast]

Character's Name: @Willowburn
Activity Level: semi-active
What kind of mentor are you: Willowburn is generally a balanced mentor, finding a middle ground between firm and gentle. Though can seem mysterious to even his apprentices in his ways.
Traits you intend to pass down: Willowburn will pass down the knowledge of trickery and of advanced battle moves. He will teach determination, but also to know when to retreat. After all, a dead warrior is a useless one.

 

[blueblossomtea]

Character's Name: @THISTLESIGHT
Activity Level: casual ( 5 - 10 posts per month )
What kind of mentor are you: thistlesight values extraverted thinking, offering logical advice, strategic insights, and or logistical help to solve problems. he is not cruel, but he isn't sickly sweet with kindness, offering the right amount of push and pull. he is strict, having expectations that he deems are reachable based on what he's gathered from his apprentice, but nothing outlandish, or borderline impossible with their specific skill levels. he anticipates obstacles, and plans according to a variety of possibilities, seeing the bigger picture and predicting things with uncanny accuracy. he is organized, and with great precision, can multi-task and make sure each lesson is productive toward becoming a warrior. he is well-rounded but is more efficient when it comes to tracking / hunting, teaching them to be visible, but unseen, fostering personal growth, and catering to his apprentice's greatest skills.
Traits you intend to pass down:
thistlesight hopes to pass down his hunting skills and shadowed presence, seen, but not heard, directed toward hunting / fighting. willing to pass down his analytical and observant nature, but they're useless without confidence, and the foresight to be quick on their paws, adapting to situations tossed at them without warning.

 

[BLOODWING]

Character's Name: @BLOODKIT
Activity Level: casual (5-10 posts per month)
What kind of mentor are you after: A mentor that can help Bloodkit become a good fighter! My vision is for her to be a good brawler and more of a barbarian archetype (strong and resilient but not the smartest tool in the shed), so a mentor who'll push her would be good.

(for next meeting)

 

[SINGEGLARE]

Character's Name: @SINGEKIT
Activity Level: - 5/10 with sporadic bursts of activity ;W;
What kind of mentor are you after: Any! Singekit no matter what is going to be a bit of an annoying kid to train so good luck with his hot temper and lack of respect, but I'd like him to form a bond nonetheless with whoever mentors him! I think he'd work well with someone kind and patient as the more strict a mentor is the more he'll rebel against them but any dynamic would be fun to explore!

Though perhaps emphasis on a sleek fighter mentor? Someone who knows how to work with a small but feisty frame better equipped for quick attacks rather than heavy ones.

 

[Kitty-Kat-]

Character's Name: @Swallowkit. (swallowpaw at upcoming meeting)
Activity Level: casual (3-5 posts per month currently, aiming for higher)
What kind of mentor are you after: mostly someone not afraid to ping swallow in literally everything lol. swallow is a bundle of chaos with some concerning habits, yet adaptable enough that i feel they'd work well with most mentor types. But they will pretty much be their mentors shadow and follow them everywhere short of the bathroom. whatever mentor they get has a good chance of influencing their outward personality as they have a habit of changing themselves and their persona to fit others expectations / image of them.

 

[ghost]

Character's Name: @fleabounce
Activity Level: Casi
What kind of mentor are you: While likely to shift her mentoring style to match the needs of her apprentice, a constant for Fleabounce would be her need to try and foster a close bond with her would-be apprentice. Unlikely to try and push her apprentices hard physically.
Traits you intend to pass down: Patience! Patience! Patience!

 

[eomora]

Character's Name: @ONYXPAW
Activity Level: - active, 10-15 posts a month
What kind of mentor are you after: - preferably an active mentor that has a decent fighting ability who can draw onyxpaw out of her shell regarding her overall shyness and notice how that shyness is affecting her overall training and confidence in her own abilities. she will eventually excel in fighting but struggle when it comes to hunting, so a mentor that might focus on and try to push her in that area would be good too! currently she has been apprenticed to an npc mentor named avocetfall, but he'll be moving into the elders' den next meeting if she can get a played mentor.

 

[Rynnaroo]

Character's Name: @Nightwhisper.
Activity Level: - Casual (5ish to 10is posts)
What kind of mentor are you: - A chill mentor, willing to teach majority of anything and making sure their apprentices become a jack of all trades, but also willingly making sure to strengthen them in what they're good at.
Traits you intend to pass down: - Abushing and Hunting skills

 

[HAWKSTRIDE]

Character's Name: @Hawkstride
Activity Level: - active
What kind of mentor are you: - He'll be a calm but stern mentor, offering his apprentice a lot of patience in the beginning stages of their training, but expecting a lot of growth and improvement throughout. He'll be a very hands-on teacher and will likely develop a close bond with his charge. He believes in pushing his apprentice hard, but never putting them down or being harsh with them. He excels at hunting and fighting, but is still adjusting to shadowclan's darkness and is lacking in stealth and tracking.
Traits you intend to pass down: - Observation, determination, and level-headedness.

 

[FERNDANCE]

Character's Name: @FERNDANCE
Activity Level: Active (Average 10+ posts a month)
What kind of mentor are you: Ferndance is a mentor who will try and make friends with her apprentice, oftentimes putting them up to things solely for the entertainment value and seeming somewhat absent-minded when it comes to remembering actual training. However, Ferndance is a very aggressive fighter who aims for the kill but is more notorious for her ability to track scents through ShadowClan and hunt confidently despite the drawbacks of their territory. When she is actually in a training session, she is likely to teach through practice instead of talking.
Traits you intend to pass down: Keen hunting & tracking, confidence
