Applications Now Open for FogClan!
In a far-off former farming town known by its feline residents as “Nowhere,” mystery and intrigue run amok. Though the town was once governed by twoleg presence, it has long since been abandoned and left to the descendants of cats brought in to control the rodent population of the community.
Nowhere is a ghost town for good reason. The persistent flooding that plagues the land made it inhabitable for human life, though the cats who cling to the distressed structures and worn down land see more in it than any twoleg ever did. After all, the cats of Nowhere have their reasons for remaining where they do. A longstanding history of folklore and fables keep them tethered to the community that they have built, superstition guiding their paws.
Hardship is simply a familiar facet of life for most residents of Nowhere, and most cats have learned to endure the usual struggles that beset them in their town, guided along by their tales and stories. However, recent internal conflict threatens to put them at greater risk than they have been before. The cats of Nowhere are plenty capable of weathering physical storms, well adapted to their way of life, but when their very community and culture begins to crumble before them, they may need to look beyond themselves for assistance and reach out into the mist.
The Next to Nowhere event will begin in the town of Nowhere, which is set apart from the territory of the clans and the trove. The distance will not extend for long, however, as the cats of Nowhere are bound to discover troubles plaguing their home that go beyond their comprehension.
This round of application is open to new potential members as well as members already in ThreeClans, and will be open to applications for both original characters as well as six adoptable characters with preestablished guidelines. We will be looking to accept 20 characters total, split between characters coming from both new members and current members. Each accepted member will have a character living amidst the cats of Nowhere with the end goal of that character joining FogClan. You have from April 22nd to May 6th to apply for original characters, and from April 22nd to May 2nd to apply for adoptable characters.

You must be at least 18 years old to apply.
The cats of Nowhere are seen as outsiders to FogClan, but we are looking to limit the number of true “outsiders” to the town itself. This means that residents of Nowhere who have origins outside of the town will be limited. Kittypets from faraway locations, loners just now coming to visit Nowhere, and other sorts of outsiders are permitted, but be aware of the fact that you may be competing for a limited spot when submitting a character with this kind of backstory. In comparison, we welcome cats who feature backstories that place their histories firmly within the town of Nowhere. Many cats have lineages that trace back generations through the town’s history, and their families may have been a part of Nowhere for seasons — or perhaps your character is the offspring of a former outsider but has only ever known the town of Nowhere themself. Get creative, but keep this in mind when applying!
You must apply for a cat that is at least 3 moons of age. You are welcome to apply for any age above this.
You must apply initially with a name that reflects the “outsider” status of your character. This means that no cat will join the roleplay with a Clan name. These names will be earned throughout the process of roleplaying. For example, an acceptable name would be “Bat,” while an unacceptable one would be “Batclaw.”
Please thoroughly read any documents provided and linked above, and create your original character with the lore and setting in mind.
Please be prepared to be active! Ideally, our members will engage in roleplaying quite frequently. If you are looking for a roleplay that is slower or one that you can pop into only once per month, you should reconsider if ThreeClans is the group for you. ThreeClans functions on a real life time system, which means that every day that passes in real life is equal to a day passing in the roleplay’s time. Though time may be adjusted accordingly for more intense events, and liquid time may be given to those who ask permission to complete roleplays, things are quite fast paced — we like to keep everything moving so that nothing stagnates for too long!
You must have a Discord account to join the roleplay, as that is where it is hosted!
Please begin by reading our About, FAQ, and Rules pages. We also suggest browsing our Carrd, any posts tagged “Next to Nowhere” on this blog, and our blog in general should you be looking for more information!
