first oc!

Name: Foxtrot!

He's an artclan warrior who decorates himself to look like a fox. Originally, Foxtrot was Orangepaw, but he earned his name after surviving being attacked by a fox and choosing to decorate himself as a fox. He's mild-mannered and rather reserved. He likes to stay near the camp and help take care of the kits. His art usually consists of decorating himself like various animals, but mostly foxes.

(He's an orange tabby and he dips his paws in mud to create foxlike markings)

Artclan Lore!!

Artclan’s first leader was a city cat named Art. He left the city and entered the woods, searching for a more meaningful life. He wandered into the clans and spread the message of becoming anything you wanted. When the clans became fed up with Art and his followers, they kicked them out. In response, Art formed Artclan.

Artclan’s rules of becoming a warrior and earning your warrior name are very different from the other clans. Firstly, the highest priority of being a warrior of artclan is having compassion. If a cat is found to be lacking in compassion for other cats, they will be put through a trial of the leader’s choosing before they may earn their warrior name. Secondly, a cat must create a piece of art that they will be named after (similar to how clowns must do the makeup egg). Example: the first warrior to be given their Artclan name was a cat from Redclan named Hawkfur. She carefully clawed the image of a raccoon into the trees that mark the boundary of Artclan’s territory, earning her the name Raccoontail.

The clan lives in an abandoned twoleg house on the outskirts of the clan territories. Due to the other clan’s constant mockery, Artclan chooses to stay rather isolated, only coming to clan gatherings every other moon.

Current lore (subject to change)

The gathering of the ballpit is a warrior cats au in which there are five clans located in the forest just outside a city. This is a work in progress and a community project where people are free to add their own characters to the world!

I have plans to make some sort of space for everyone to roleplay, but this is basically to get ideas down on paper (well, screen, but still) and gauge interest. 🐈

Clans

Dashclan, Redclan, Pitclan, and Wildsclan are the dominant clans, and the fifth clan, Artclan, is far more isolationist than the others and is known to do odd rituals. Dashclan is known for their swiftness and ability to themselves in the forest. Redclan is known for brutality and their unique individual fighting styles (each member has their own special fighting style). Pitclan aren't the oddest clan of the bunch, but they are considered weird by other clans for their habit of collecting fruits and vegetables to store for food when prey dries up. (These are magic fiction cats DO NOT feed real cats vegetables or fruit) Wildsclan pride themselves on being connected to their ancestors. They decorate themselves heavily in natural items like feathers and dirt, and their favorite method of fighting and hunting is climbing. They scale trees and drop onto unsuspecting victims. Artclan is a rather isolated group that has strange rituals. Like Wildclan, they decorate themselves, unlike Wildclan, they use whatever they find to do it. They love to make paint and cover themselves in it. Very odd cats indeed.
