[Kido Tsubomi]

There was once a clan, just a single clan, living in a beautiful semi-tropical valley at the base of a mountain. They were so powerful they dessimated the other three clans that once lived there. They were known as SovereignClan, and they weren't your typical clan. Rather than believing in StarClan, they believed in gods very much similar to the Egyptian Gods. They also had different rankings than the other, 'normal' clans.

But SovereignClan has fallen. Yes, long, long ago they fell, due to a tragic in-clan turmoil, in which two 'deputies' (SovereignClan's term for deputy is different) had been appointed, for the first time in the clan's history. The cats chosen by the leader were completely different, completely unalike, and disagreed on just about everything. Eventually, they were the demise of this clan.

Until now. No, the descendents of the original SovereignClan lived in secrecy and hiding, staying away from each other and other cats for the most part. But now, they are coming together, only the direct bloodline offspring of these ancient cats, to rebuild the once great and powerful SovereignClan.

_________________________________________________________

· Follow all of Tess's rules

· We are a literate/semi-literate roleplay. At least one paragraph per post. Preferably two. Your paragraphs (if you are going to be doing a small amount of them), must be well thought out, detailed, and with correct spelling, grammer, etc. NO ONE-LINERS! While writer's block is understood, if you think you're going to post a one-liner, then don't even bother posting.

· There is no default form. Instead, you must make your own form. I want to see creativity, well thought out characters, and detail. These will give me an idea of your literacy.

· SovereignClan cats don't generally have traditional warrior names, but they are allowed.

· Please make you posts pretty and pleasing to the eye. Please refrain from using sparkly graphics and stuff. I don't want to see just ugly block of text though. I understand using mobile devices, but when you get back on, please try to edit it to make it pretty.

· While I understand that we all probably have lives out side of Eldemore, I don't expect you post everyday. This is literate, so for each post to be well thought out, it might take a day or two for you to post with all of your characters. However, if you don't make a post within ten days, then I have the right to remove you from the roleplay. If you think you're going to be inactive for sometime, please consult me via PM, so that you aren't acidentally removed.

· The "deputy" for the Clan will be chosen as we get into the roleplay and it is not a rank that is just up for grabs. When we get farther in, I will consult with the leader and together we will decide which cat would be most suitable for the position. You can mention that your cat wants this position in your form, but in the end, the leader and I will decide. Same goes for the "medicine cat apprentice". If you are a medicine cat or leader, you cannot be chosen for deputy or med. cat apprentice within that clan.

· I will reserve ranks for three days. If you haven't started on your form or shown some effort on it by then, your reservation will be removed and the rank will be up for grabs again.

· All SovereignClan cats have lineage that can be traced back to the original SovereignClan. No loners are accepted. Keep this in mind when writing a history.

· There will be no God-modding, power play, or anything of the like. If you do so, you will be given a warning/strike, and if you get three warnings or strike, I will ask you to leave.

· I expect that you well be kind to your fellow players. There will be no out of character fighting. If I sense tension between two or more members, I will notify all involved, and/or if there is any bullying, arguing, etc, you will be contacted, along with the victims. Depending on the situation, you may be given a second chance, but if not, or if you ruin that second chance, you will be removed from the roleplay and possibly reported to a mod.

· Please don't make your own characters fall in love. It gets old and boring. Be social and interact with other characters. I love to see well developed relationships. They make the roleplay interesting.

· There is a limit of one high rank ( i.e leader, medicine cat) per player. Save some good positions for others. Since medicine cats and deputies must prove themselves before they are chosen, I may allow you to be a leader and medicine cat apprentice, or a medicine cat and a deputy, however, you cannot have them in the same Clan.

· Currently, there is a no character limit, but only make as many as you can handle, and still be generally literate.

...The leader of the Clan is called the Pharaoh if he is male, or the Queen, if she is female.
...The Hier is the oldest kit of the Pharaoh/Queen, and holds the right to leadership should the leader die or retire. If the oldest kit has died, the next avalible will be chosen. Should no cat who holds a royal bloodline be avalible to take the leader's place when it is needed, the current Vizier will take the throne.
...Second in command of SovereignClan is the Vizier. He or she serves right under the Pharaoh or Queen. He or she advises the leader, puts together patrols for hunting and gathering, settling disputes between those of lower rankings, and acting as the leader and the leader's family personal bodyguard.
...Vizier's Hier is the oldest kit of the current Vizier, and is take his or her place when he or she dies. If the oldest is dead, the second oldest will be chosen. Should no offspring be avalible at the time it is needed, the Pharaoh or Queen will choose from a Noble.
...The 'medicine cat' of the Clan is called the Priest. The Priest is responsible for pleasing the gods and intercepting/interpretting messages from them. They also preform ceremonies and rituals to the Gods, and act as healers for those in need of it. Priests are allowed to have mates and kits.
...Training under the Priest, and also the Priest's oldest kit is the Roch (pronounced Rock). They will take the Priest's place when he or she dies. If the oldest has died, the second oldests will take this place. Should no cats be avalible with blood relations to the Priest, the Pharaoh/Queen and the Vizier will choose a cat for the job.
...Nobles are sort of like very experienced warriors in Clan comparison. There will only ever be five nobles. They act like generals, and are in charge of the soliders. They train new soldiers, organize battle patrols should one be needed, and serve as tacticians and ambassadors. If a Noble dies or needs to take the place of the Vizier, the oldest and/or most experienced soldier will take his or her place.
...Scribes keep Clan traditions recorded, as well as history and important events. It is their job to keep SovereignClan's history. They also keep track of deaths, shortages or surpluses of food, battles, etc. They are usually older, and very knowledgable. They pass down what they know to younger scribes and keep things of the sort going.
...Soldiers are the 'warriors' of SovereignClan. They guard the Clan and fight in battle. They are oraganized and overlooked by the Nobles. While they are usually mostly males, there are females as well. They are strong, powerful cats, well built for battle.
...Crafters have a way with their paws. They are responsible for building and repairing dens, and even making things out of vines, grass, etc, such as jewelry. They don't often fight, and they're normally sleeker cats.
...Gatherers are the hunters of the Clan. However, not only do they hunt prey, they also gather various berries, flowers, and other edible things. SovereignClan cats aren't just carnivores. They can be found eating berries, wild fruits, and things of the like. It is their job to keep the Clan well fed.
...Farmers do just what their name suggests. They take scrapes from berries and fruits not eaten and plant them outside of the camp so that they can have more food. They also store away seeds that cannot be planted in the current season for the next time the proper growing timeframe comes around. This is useful if there is not an abundancy in a certain crop.
...Apprentices are younger cats, between five to thirteen moons, who train underneath older ones. There are four different kinds of apprentices: soldier appprentices, crafter apprentices, gatherer apprentices, and farmer apprentices. Each different type of apprentice trains under an experienced cat of the same rank/type. When a kit reaches the proper age, they are allowed to choose which type of apprentice they would like to become. This is done in a certain way so that they can be exposed to all of the different options. For six days, they will shadow underneath an older cat to see what a day in their life is like. They will get a day off, then rotate to a type for another six days. This goes on four weeks, and then they must decide. Should an apprentice not like what they are training to be, they are allowed to change. However, any apprentice over eight moons is not allowed to the change.
...Watchers are like the daycare of SovereignClan. They are normally females who are in charge of taking care of kits after they are two weeks old. This includes nursing them, watching them, and keeping them out of trouble. This is so that, after two weeks, their mother can go back to her regular job.
...Kits are exactly what their name claims them to be. Any cat between newborn to five moons is rendered a kit. When they reach five moons, they are allowed to be made into an apprentice. Kits are not allowed to leave the camp or anything of the like. Even Pharaoh/Queen, Vizier, and Priest's offspring must follow these rules as well.

...Weprenpet, also known as New Year's Day, is celebrated on the first day of the year, in mid-leaf bare. It is celebrated with large feasts of various birds and spiced, dried fruits and berries. There is also song and dancing and gifts for the kits and apprentices.
...The fesitval of Thuthi celebrates the deceased. It honors them by fasting for a whole day, and then going to the Burial Grounds at sunset, where they sit until midnight in a moment of silence. Then, they feast on burrowing animals such as voles and mice. Then, before they leave, flowers are placed on the graves of loved ones by their parents, siblings, and/or offspring. It takes place in early new-leaf.
...The celebration of the ancient SovereignClan is called Embedii. All of the cats take a day off and it is the only day that fire is used to cook meat, for the Priest is the only cat who knows how to make fire. There is lots of meat and berries and fruit. At the end of the day, all cats take a moment of silence and prey to the gods. Then, traditional songs and dances are preformed. Cats give gifts to each other. Even the kits don't go to bed until sunrise. It is a common day for toms to ask she-cats to be their mates (or vice versa). It is celebrated on the first day of greenleaf.
...The Celebration of Nehebkau celebrates rebirth and the afterlife. SovereignClan cats believe that many cats who have done good in their life will become another animal after their death, normally a peaceful one like a crane, a swan, or a bird of paradise (or a similiar songbird). Sometimes they will become a wolf or a white tiger, as well. Anyway, all of the high ranking cats dawn traditional headresses and necklaces and preform a ceremony over the graves of the cats who have died between last year's Nehebkau Celebration and this year's. All of the 'good' cats are said to be reborn on this day after their grave has been blessed by the Priest, Vizier, and Pharoah/Queen. It is also a day for truly saying goodbye to loved ones and letting go of the grief felt from their death. It takes place on the second new moon of greenleaf.
...The Beautiful Feast of the Valley, or just The Feast, is when all of the grown crops are to be harvested, and the Gatherers spend the day out collecting berries and hunting larger game (such as turkey, rabbit, and some waterbird). It honors the day that New SovereignClan was formed, as well the harvest of crops. At sunset, a huge feast, bigger than any of the others, is made, and the Clan eats until midnight. After that, the cats take an hour of silence, preying to the gods or reflecting on the past year. Then, they dance and sing and romp happily until sunrise. Sometimes the kits and apprentices will organize an original skit. It takes place in mid/late leaf-fall.

...Ra ;; The king of gods, and the god of the sun. He is depicted as an eagle with pure golden feathers
...Osiris ;; The god of the underworld and the afterlife. He is a pure black raven with one golden eye and one blood-red eye.
...Bast ;; The goddess of protection and of cats. She is a black and gold tabby with solid gold eyes
...Anubis ;; The god of judgement of life and death and of dogs. He is a sleek, black jackal.
...Horus ;; The god of war, sky, and birds of prey. He is seen as a peregrine falcon with one eye
...Set ;; The god of desert, storms, and evil. He is depicted as a creature with the head of tapir mixed with a dog, a canine body, and a long, serpentine tail. His fur is blood red and his eyes are black.
...Nephthys ;; (pronouced Neff-teez) The goddess of night, sleep, and nature. She is depicted as a queztal bird with a rainbow tail
...Isis ;; The goddess of healing and magic. She is depicted as a white flamingo with a black beak and black legs
...Sobek ;; The god of rivers and is said to protect the Pharaoh or Queen from unseen evil. He is depicted as a silver crocodile
...Ptah ;; It is believed that he created the world, but has since died and disappeared. SovereignClan still references him occasionally though, and he is seen as a huge skeletal dragon
...Sekhmet ;; She is the goddess of fire, vengeance, and a goddess of war. She is a black lioness with a braided mane and eyes that change color.
...Nut ;; (pronouced Noot) The goddess of the sky and stars. She appears as a black bull with shimmering white horns
...Apophis ;; The god of chaos and a god of war. He is a huge pitch black cobra with glowing red eyes. Sometimes in the moonlight, he is so black it looks blue
...Hathor ;; The goddess of love. She is depicted as a puma with ice blue eyes
...Thoth ;; The god of wisdom and stories. He is seen as a pure black ibis with red and gold bangles around his neck.

ａｌｌ ａｂｏｕｔ ｙｏｕ

υѕєяηαмє; SkieNight
ηαмє; Cilia (Pronounced Sileea)
αgє; 27 moons (2 years 3 months)
gєη∂єя; She-cat, female
яαηк; Priest

ｌｏｏｋｉｎｇ ｇｏｏｄ

єуєѕ; Her eyes are a vivid forest green, a mixture of both light and dark green.
cσαт; Her main and only coat color is a soft, snowy white, or the color of freshly fallen snow. Her pelt isn't short but isn't very long, it's more medium in length. However his white coat is very thick and during the hot months even the color of her coat can't cool her down.
мαякιηgѕ; Due to her very light pelt she has no markings. The she-cat as a few scars here and there from trying to survive, but none can been seen, her fur grew over them.
вυιℓ∂; Cilia has a very petite and dainty build. Coming from a long line of priests and priestesses size never really mattered to them. Though she is full grown she is about three fourths (3/4) the size of a normal cat. She is very thin, with little muscle build because she was never suppose to fight. She has a long, thin tail and stands on legs that are slightly shorter then other cats.

ｙｏｕｒ ｌｉｆｅ'ｓ ｓｔｏｒｙ

ѕкιℓℓѕ; Cilia has a special way with herbs that has been past down her family line for many generations. She also has a gift of the 'sight'. She can receive and interpret messages from the gods along with these messages is the knowledge of how to make fire, but only for the festivals.
ωєαкηєѕѕєѕ; Though Cilia is a very bright cat she is not, in the any sense, strong. In a fight she was practically die right away, having no training. She also has no stamina or speed. Physically she is not in very great shape. The she-cat is also scared to death of heights so climbing things is a huge struggle.
ρєяσηαℓιту; The first impression Cilia gives others is a calm and rather introverted cat. She never seems to worry much about things, she can be rather rushed for festivals but her positive look on life keeps her clam and rather level headed. In a time of high stress, or just a bad situation in general Cilia always seems to know what to do. She can keep her mind clear of other problems and just focuses on helping others. The she-cat gets a great joy from helping other cats. It is her job to help and heal others but she also considers it her passion. She finds that when she helps other's it just gives her a great feeling of ease. However if she finds that she can do nothing she feels greatly responsible. She blaims herself for many other the things she can't do. Though she won't show it, these problems do beat on her inside.The she-cat is a calm one, she is terrified of fighting. The fact that she has no power means that she is hopeless in a fight. And because of that fact she'll try as hard as she can to stay out of arguments. Even if she knows she's right she'll just agree with the other cat. She's almost scared of standing up for herself, she just doesn't want to make another cat mad or sad or hurt them, she she'll just a agree even if she knows its wrong. Her knowledge also affects her decisions. She will most often then not follow her mind and what she things is right then what she knows in her heart is right, so she'll rarely do things for herself. Overall she really does try hard to be a nice cat.
нιѕтσяу; Cilia was born under a long line of priests. Though neither of her parents were clan cats, her mother was directly related to the last priest who escaped the clan before it totally fell. It has been many generations since her family was even part of the clan, but still the stories have been past down and the blood of the Sovereign cats still runs through the veins of many. Every generation of Cilia's family has post down simple knowledge, even if they have almost forgotten what clan life is like. At a young age, her mother had started teaching her the various plants, just as her father had done with her. Cilia also learned how to make fire, though in honesty the she-cat hates the flames. However there was one thing Cilia was born with that even her grandmother didn't have, Cilia was born with dreams. For as long as the white she-cat remembered she was blessed with odd dreams, things that even her mother didn't understand.For a long time Cilia didn't know what they were and she didn't understand, but after both her parents left this world due to a bad illness she realized what it was. Cilia also had two siblings her brother Casper, and her sister Callie. Her dreams tolled her to travel through the valley to find the one thing that was missing. After a while she convinced her siblings to join her and the three of them were off. As they traveled to the other side Callie became very, very sick. Cilia did her best of help her sister but the she-cat died at a young age. Enraged her brother left her, blaming Cilia for their sisters death. A guild the white she-cat still holds today. As she traveled she found Ember, a little kit who had no one. Cilia took him as a little brother healing him and then taking him with her. Soon the odd pair found what they were looking for, SovereignClan, the clan of old was being rebuilt. The she-cat joined happy to finally find a nice home that she hopped would soon be her family.


ｔｈｏｓｅ ｃｏｌｓｅ ｔｏ ｙｏｕ

ραяєηтѕ; Ceder {deceased}; her father and Alya {deceased}; her mother.
кιη; She has two litter mates, Casper {unknown}; her brother and Callie {deceased}; her sister. Ember is the kit she took in and might as well be her younger brother.
вєѕт ƒяιєη∂; Right now it seems that Ember is her best friend.
ωσяѕт єηєму; She tries not to hate.
яσмαηтιc ιηтяєѕт; Cilia doesn't think much of these things.

___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________

ａｌｌ ａｂｏｕｔ ｙｏｕ

υѕєяηαмє; SkieNight
ηαмє; Ember
αgє; Seven Moons (Seven months)
gєη∂єя; Tom, male
яαηк; Gatherer's Apprentice

ｌｏｏｋｉｎｇ ｇｏｏｄ

єуєѕ; His eyes are a strange mix of yellow and green. They seem to be a nice, golden yellow color mixed with flecks of both light and dark green.
cσαт; The base color of Ember's coat is nice, rich, light brown. Woven through his brown coat is also some patches and hairs that are of a dark brown color that seem to just melt together. Over those shades of brown are black tabby markings, both stripes and some dots on his sides. He has the look of a classic brown tabby cat. His face and paws also seem to have a more golden tinge to them, along with some spots on his back.
мαякιηgѕ; Though he all ready has a very busy coat, he does have a few markings. They aren't very big or very special or different but they are there. His first distinguishable marking is his white muzzle. Below his mouth and chin are all white, this white kind of sweets out and almost seems to frame his lower face. His last two markings are his two back paws. Both have white little socks that only cover his toes, not his entire paws.
вυιℓ∂; Ember has a very average build for a cat. He's slim, like most felines are, but he has plenty of muscles in his legs. This helps with hunting, jumping and climbing. He has a long tail that really helps for balance and an average body with longer legs. He's a pretty nicely built cat. Though most of his strength is in his back legs making him a much better jumper then fighter.

ｙｏｕｒ ｌｉｆｅ'ｓ ｓｔｏｒｙ

ѕкιℓℓѕ; Ember has rather strong legs, making him a pretty good hunter. The young tom is also a pretty good learner, though he isn't even close to perfect. Ember is also a pretty good climber, a lot of the time he will just sit up in a tree.
ωєαкηєѕѕєѕ; Ember isn't a patient cat. He always has to do something or he'll just get board. He also can be a bit too stubborn and just jumps to conclusions. He tends to just run into situations with out giving it any though. And sometimes he thinks he's a bit too good.
ρєяσηαℓιту; The brown tabby is a very adventurous cat. He loves to learn, and the best way he can think of learning is going off to explore, he loves to discover new things this way. Though sometimes this can lead to trouble. The tom might have been raised by Cilia, but he isn't like the she-cat at all. He'll just jump into situations without the least bit of forethought. He doesn't think logically about many things and will just jump to conclusions about situations and even other cats. Because of his age Ember is quite naive about the world. Yes his family might have been killed but he doesn't know what hardship is or what pain is. He knows the exist but he doesn't really know about them, to him those feelings are just there. However there is a darker part to this fun little cat. He has an ever growing need for vengeance. What ever killed his family will pay, and Ember want to make sure that it'll happen by his paw. He might not be a fighter, but he will fight for his family.
нιѕтσяу; Ember was born to a cat named Willow. He really doesn't remember anything about his family. He doesn't know what his mother looked like or the sound of her vioce, who is father was and even if he had any siblings. This is because when he was a very young kit, only a moon or two old something attacked his family, and no one knows what. It's all a blur in his mind, just red and pain and fear all mix together. What ever happened, or what ever came, it killed his family but somehow managed to skim over him. It was most likely because the kit had somehow fallen between the roots of a tree. Practically unseen by the world except for his his cries for help. It couldn't have been more then a day later when the white she-cat was walking by. She would never have noticed the kit if it wasn't for the small sounds he was making. Cilia saved him and raised Ember as a little brother. She taught him everything he needed to know, how to hunt how to swim, though she never did teach him how to climb he figured it out himself. The kit looked up to Cilia dearly and loved her stories about the clan. He will never know if he is directly related to the Clan or not, but there is a good chance that some Sovereign blood does run through him. The question is just, how much?

ｔｈｏｓｅ ｃｏｌｓｅ ｔｏ ｙｏｕ

ραяєηтѕ; He only remembers his mother's name, Willow. He doesn't remember or even know who is father is.
кιη; He isn't sure if he had siblings, though Cilia might as well be his sister.
вєѕт ƒяιєη∂; He would think Cilia is his best friend though he doesn't know anyone his age.
ωσяѕт єηєму; He hates the person, thing or cat that killed his family. He wants to find them and get revenge.
яσмαηтιc ιηтяєѕт; Ember is too young to think about this, he still things that mates are gross.
