Welcome to Duskclan's (unofficial) mass adopts! Duskclan is a small rogue group residing in the loner lands near the Highstones. After the fall of Sootstar, her loyalists have laid low for many seasons. Now, as new-leaf returns, they have grown in both power and boldness. Over the course of future months, Duskclan will play an increasingly more antagonistic role for multiple clans. Like all good things, Duskclan is slated to end, but that doesn't mean you shouldn't play a role here! Curious about more of Duskclan's history? There is no official guide, but there is a thread that details how Duskclan formed HERE.

This thread contains relations to played characters, premade designs, premade character ideas, and miscellaneous connections. For the premade designs, please feel free to claim one and pair them with another adopt, but this is not required! The adoption form is FFA, but please make sure to include the character's name, appearance, personality, and which adopt they are for.

    [OPEN] YOUNGER SIBLING TO HONEYBADGER (WC)
    Slots: 0/1
    Age: 21 moons (ages realistically every 15th)

    — shorthaired kits will carry longhair; chocolate-based kits will carry cinnamon; non-dilute kits will carry dilute
    Rules: N/A
    Misc. Notes:
    — A sickly child with a father dead before her birth and a very troubled mother, Honeybadger was the main source of saftey, comfort, and care for this apprentice. He absolutely adored her and spoiled her rotten, determined to be the "man" of the family after their father's death and mother's ensuing insanity. Both were neglected by their mother, but he took the brunt if her physical abuse and verbal violence in this character's stead, though she likely would've witnessed enough to know what was going on. Due to poor health, she was apprenticed a moon late.
    — This is a rehomed slot, but there was minimal interaction / activity so theres no need to keep anything beyond og name, age, backstory.
    — Would have fled windclan as an older apprentice (8 moons old) after witnessing Honeybadger's death in the battle against Sunstar's Rebels
    — Their original name was Beepaw, but their warrior name is fully up to you! Does not have to be a variation of "Bee-" if you want to say they changed it upon becoming part of Duskclan; but they were known as Beekit/Beepaw in their youth.

    [CLOSED] OLDER SIBLING TO SEDGEPOUNCE (WC)
    Slots: 1/1
    Age: 35 moons
    Genetics:

    — kits can be shorthaired or longhaired
    — kits can have no white, low white, or high white
    — kits without white can have any realistic eye color besides blue; kits with white can have any realistic eye color
    — shorthaired kits will carry longhair; tabbies will carry solid; non-dilute kits will carry dilute; silver/smoke kits will carry non-silver
    Rules: N/A
    Misc. Notes:
    — This sibling was previously named Stormcloud, but there's no requirement to keep the same name.
    — they have the vibe of like..."older siblings with tons of expectations and weight on their shoulders" vs "younger sibling who could get away with murder." yarrowfang and mudstone were pretty strict growing up, so all the kids had a lot to live up to! sedge took that to heart as a young apprentice and started slacking off in the face of all his parents' expectations, which to his siblings seemed like he never got in trouble. i imagine that would've caused some conflict with his older siblings
    — Please feel free to DM @/bellus with any specific plot ideas for these guys!! :3c
  • N/A - please check back later!
  • [OPEN] 1. A perma-queen who stays with Duskclan purely for protection. They care for the misbegotten kittens that either are stolen from their rightful families or have been orphaned by other means. Jaded and disillusioned, they hold little love for those that happen into their care and simply see it as a job to do.

    [OPEN] 2. An elder that resides in Duskclan. They were formerly in Windclan, joining when the colonies formed into the clans; though they are much older than the colonies themselves. They joined Duskclan because they thought Windclan was becoming too soft.

    [OPEN] 3. A warrior of Duskclan that betrayed Windclan when Sootstar fell. Their children did not follow - all except one. Now, they resent their family that did not join them and vow revenge on the "traitors".
    — This premade character corresponds with 4.

    [CLOSED] 4. A young warrior of Duskclan that followed their parent, feeling pressured not to disappoint them. Though they miss their siblings in Windclan, they try not to feel too guilty about it. After all, it was their choice to leave, wasn't it?
    — This premade character corresponds with 3.


    [OPEN] 5. A warrior of Duskclan who joined the rogue group for protection after living a solitary life as a loner. They are an unusual cheery face within the gloomy scrublands, even with more macabre topics. When necessary, they are surprisingly ruthless and powerful.

    [OPEN] 6. A warrior of Duskclan who joined the rogue group under the guise of being a former rogue. What Duskclan does not know is that they are actually a former kittypet who tore off their collar and ran away from their housefolk moons ago. Now, they must prove themselves to the ruthless clan.

    [OPEN] 7. An apprentice of Duskclan who was born in the clan. They always have some piece of juicy gossip on every single one of the cats in Duskclan, though where they get such information is a mystery. Catty and histrionic, it is better to be on their good side than their bad.

Stormcloud
1314129_4OlAbbkb.png

GENERAL INFO.
Stormcloud, a name presumably appearance-based due to her dark pelt, not unlike an angry cloud in the sky
35 moons
rogue, duskclan member; formerly windclan
dfab, she/her

APPEARANCE.
slight-framed and lean, stormcloud is very easily identified by her evident windclan heritage. with short, all-black fur she disappears easily into the night with a body built for quick getaways - although built for running and built for speed, there is nothing tireless about her demeanor. her yellow eyes are tinged with the weight of the world, haggard beyond what not even two-and-a-half should look like on a cat.

MENTALITY.
stormcloud's mind is a shadowy forest tainted with bitterness. after a childhood with what felt like impossible expectations, she usually possesses a "and look what all that effort got me in the end" mindset about things. whatever values were instilled in her growing up, she's thoroughly turned her back on them now. very rogueish in nature, her time in duskclan has whittled away much of her clan-like values, with her preferring to look out for number one- herself. there's little she wants from life anymore, the defeated shadow of a feline who once had great potential now driven by personal grudges and accumulating cruelty.
intj
neutral evil
slytherin
avoidant attachment style

RELATIONSHIPS.
hard to form platonic relationships with
hard to form romantic relationships with
yarrowfang x mudstone; sibling to sedgepounce

Wish to take a Sibling to Whispersong slot!

[Sunlight ] Hawkspark
(A 55 Moon Old Red Tabby Tom with High White)

He/Him - Former Rogue - Angey
Info: The youngest of the litter, Sunlight had always looked up to both his siblings, following them like a shadow. When his sister suddenly disappeared, he was just as devastated as his parents. Where had she gone? Why did she leave him behind? If this was some sort of game, it wasn't fun anymore.

His parents' worsening neglect of the remaining two kits as they searched high and low for Whispersong cut further into the young cat. Why was the sister who had abandoned them the favorite? He was right there, and it was obvious that she wasn't coming back. Sunlight desperately turned to the stars for comfort. It was what he had always been taught. Listen to them; they sing to you. They'll tell you stories and comfort you. But whenever the young tom tried, he was only greeted by silence.

It's a farce, he finally decides, many, many moons after Whispersong's departure. Time had only made him grow bitter to the traditions of his parents and their group. Bitter towards everyone who could hear the stars songs but him. They were all crazy, and he couldn't stomach another night under the taunting of their precious stars. So he left, his paws wandering off wherever they led.

His bitterness has led to tom almost constantly being frustrated or angry, his temper often flaring up at even the smallest inconveniences. Not long into his journey, he starts to get into fights with other cats. He doesn't care about who wins, only that it was made clear his distaste for whatever slight they had committed, knowingly or not.

It's only by chance he's found by a Duskclan patrol while lurking in the streets of Twoleg place. He'll join this Duskclan, if only for a chance to show more cats his claws.


- Relationships & Misc -
Parents: TBD x TBD
Siblings: Whispersong, TBD

- Violent, quick to fight with blatant disregard for his own safety and that of others. Doesn't value life, even if it's his own.
- Has likely withdrawn into himself, making genuine friendships or connections difficult.
- Strong disbelief towards religion, especially star-based ones.

Everything has been run by Whispersongs player Snowy for approval prior to posting!

Might update with a proper template later!
This is for premade number 4!

Name: Gorseshade
Age: 18-19 moons (need to double check on DuskClan's initial formation to toy with the idea he was born in WindClan and might have been one of the last three moon apprentices there before leaving)
Gender: AMAB; he/him
Appearance: Because of a rough upbringing with DuskClan, he is a slender, if somewhat underfed tom. He is shorter than most cats on average, with long legs that he uses to propel him around. If not for his rogue upbringing, he would easily blend in with the WindClan cats. His fur is short but spiky in places. He is a blue silver tabby, and has markings consistent with such, though it is broken up by large swatches of white over his body. Gorse has full heterochromia, one eye is a pale blue and the other is golden yellow. (Genetically: SH blue silver tabby with high white markings)

Personality: Gorse is a rather unremarkable tom, as DuskClan cats go. Whilst outwardly loyal to DuskClan, he is somewhat questioning of his place there, lamenting on the fact he was little more than a child when he followed his father there. Gorse portrays himself as a calm and collected individual, more quiet and reflective than the clanmates he surrounds himself with. Whilst one might think he's soft, Gorse can be fierce and defiant when he wants to, fighting back against physical threats and not being a pushover if anyone tried to belittle him. To his clanmates, he can be a hard cat to work out, but would be respected for his diligence and hard work if nothing else.
