So I posted this up in the QICs to see what was thought of it, figured I'd post an official thread to gauge interest and ideas!
The site is going to be called Leoris, as that's also what the world they live in is going to be called. - The site is functionally based off of the Warrior Cats series, there will be several things it shares with the books and the lore of them, but I'm designing it so that you don't need to have read the books to understand the site. - Replacing the "clans" will be four kingdoms, will villages and towns and castles, the whole shebang. The heiarchy will still be pretty similar to the books: Leader(King), Deputy(Advisor), Medicine Cat(Court Mage), Warriors, Apprentices(Squires?), and so on. I'm probably going to add in some special roles for messengers as well to relay information between kingdoms, as well as a citizen type role to cats that reside in the kingdom but don't fight and fill in civilian jobs. Functionally the higher ranks will be the same though. - Starclan still exists, but rather than being backseat drivers they're more or less the source of the magic in the lands, they still guide medicine cats and the kingdoms with prophecies and signs, but they're also the reason cats are born with magic at all. - I'm still kind of unsure if I want to have Kingdom cats still use the naming conventions with the prefixsuffix name style, rogues and cats outside of the kingdoms wont have to adhere to it regardless. I'd love input on this! - DND style classes: Bards, fighters, monks, barbarians, wizards, etc., you wont HAVE to put your character into a class since they can just be a normal civilian, but they'll be there for spice! - Kingdoms will each control a territory, but it's less a 'cross the border you die' and more just a 'cross the border and respect our rules' kind of situation, there is a shaky peace but always room for drama and political strife depending on the leaders and their goals. - I'm still kind of sussing out what I want the overall plot to be besides the kingdoms and their shaky truce, but there will be periodic smaller plots like famines, diseases, harsh winters, etc. - Cats will function in a zootopia-esque sort of way, mostly quadrupedal but they can comfortably be on their hind legs as well to work and get around. They'll be able to use complex and advanced tools as well as wear armor and clothing, very much a semi-anthropomorphic world. - Will be very relaxed, no activity checks or word counts, the only activity requirements will be some light ones for higher ranks(leaders, deputies, medicine cats), which will probably be one post a month for that character? IDK, I don't want this place to feel like a chore.
As always I am 100% open to ideas and things people might like to see in this setting! I'm still very much in the planning stages, so things can change and be tweaked!
