18+ SFW Warriors roleplay, est. 8/7/25 | 185 members

Apparently Tumblr unpinned our non-vanity link, so here it is for anyone who wants to hop in at any point! You can use this link or .gg/sotswcrp to get into the server :)

The Three Stars

Sorry for the silence, work has been killing me ;_; here's the most recent updated rendition of our Stars artwork, featuring newly minted Peregrinestar of Ridgeclan! (That's about the most recent big change in our roleplay, along with the death of Birchclan sage Inksplash and an upcoming time system change, so if you're intrigued and want to keep up to date we are always welcoming new members! 💜)

Art, as usual, by Maheylis on Discord & Toyhouse!

The Three Deputies

Once again, another gorgeous piece of art from server member Mahey, this time featuring the three SotS deputies Raccooncrash of Birch, Apricotglaze of Ridge and Loudshriek of Tempest! Very thankful to receive a piece like this and very happy to have set it as our server banner, and I'm super excited to see these three's dynamic play out!

Some new adopts we've got up in-server, looking for roleplayers! Top kitty is Scorchingsight, a 93 moon old Birchclan warrior, while the bottom two are Bellflowerwisp and Huckleberryhop respectively, parents to Ridgeclan warriors Blueberrymumble and Cranberryhaze!

Scorchingsight is a huge blank slate, so you can toy around with him however you wish! Bellflower and Huckleberry have some very rich character connections already established and some basic ideas, but the roleplayer of their kit is open to help workshopping!

If you're interested in joining SotS but aren't much of a character-maker, or would prefer to come in with preestablished connections as a baseline, or hell, you just like pretty characters, consider dropping into the server and picking these pretty guys up! They could use the love!

New HRs!

Forgot to post since rollover happened pretty late last night, but with Thresherstar in leadership and the Ridgeclan spots closed, here are our newest HR picks: Loudshriek for Tempestclan deputy Hawthornecho & Mothpaw for Ridgeclan sage & sage apprentice Looking forward to the shenanigans they get up to irp - especially Loudshriek .. it'll be an interesting dynamic for sure <3

The Three Stars

Updated piece of our current three leaders in SotS - Nettlestar, Plaguestar and soon-to-be Thresherstar! Absolutely lovely art done by server member Maheylis (check em out on TH!), I adore this work <3

Strange events have plagued the forest for as long as anyone can remember. Death, disappearance, inexplicable dreams. Then it escalated.

For moons, a white molly named Heretic has lingered around Clan territory. First, she warned the Clans. Then, she killed Foxprowl, and as of now? She's not alone anymore.

Trouble is stirring between the trees and at the crux of the issue lies Heretic and the cats who stand beside her, those she calls the Disciples of Mal. Founded under the Clans' noses, their goal is simple: bring Mal back to glory, no matter the cost.

So now the question is .. where do they go from here? How will they proceed with a new threat in the treeline? And most of all, how much will the Clans suffer before the danger is purged? Only time will tell..

Quick post about our second plotline, Trouble in the Woods! It's only recently kicked off, but I am super excited about where it's headed :]

Update Masterpost

Sorry for the absence in posting, again, been handling some things behind the scenes so I haven't had time to hop on Tumblr. Here's a quick rundown of everything going on in SotS:

We are now on ARC 1, PLOT 2: TROUBLE IN THE WOODS! As part of the plot, we have introduced a new fringe group, the Mal-worshipping Disciples of Mal cult! We also soft-launched the Special Ranks system, though these are currently all filled.

The Birchclan deputy was found dead, murdered by the Disciples of Mal's leader, Heretic. In his place, Raccooncrash has been named the new deputy. (Also within the last moon, Shimmeringfrost was mauled by a Not-Cat. He's expected to make a full recovery.)

The Ridgeclan Sage and Ridgeclan Sage Apprentice roles are now open for audition due to a retcon, so if you love playing medicine cat roles, now's your chance! These are open until the 15th, so come get em while they're hot!

Bonestar will be stepping back from leadership, and Thresherstar is expected to take up the Tempestclan leader mantle within the moon.

I think that's all the important stuff. We are also working on converting the allegiances into a nice and tidy Google Doc, and reworking our age chart into a handy little format for everyone to use. Also, a custom sage guide! It's been in the works since November, but it'll be up soon!

And much more! I'm really happy with how SotS is continuing to grow and expand, and I look forward to witnessing what comes next! If you want to be part of our future, be sure to hop on in!

How would i go about joining? Even as a spectator? Is there a link somewhere I'm missing or?

Sorry, I thought we had our link pinned at one point but apparently Tumblr must've unpinned it D: you can join via our vanity link, .gg/sotswcrp ! Or through our standard invite link which will be pinned (properly) momentarily - thank you for bringing this to attention!!

BREAKING NEWS!

Another murder has been committed. There is no safety in the forest.

Foxprowl, Birchclan's loyal deputy, has been found deceased in Birchclan territory, bleeding from a torn throat. Nettlestar is the one to find him, and it is immediately evident who his killer is by the tufts of white fur in his claws and the scent on his body ... the Stranger. The roaming white molly, Heretic.

Things are shifting, tension growing, fear and panic ramping up in the Clans - first Hummingwind died, found on the border, and now Foxprowl? Who's next? If no Clan is safe, where do the Clans go from here?

(Fresh in the wake of Shimmeringfrost's accident, Foxprowl is found dead, murdered by Heretic. Another deputy down..)

_

So, we've had another HR drop behind the scenes, which is a minor inconvenience, but that's okay because BIRCHCLAN DEPUTY IS NOW OPEN! If you love playing high ranks and want to get in on some drama, especially as we have a huge plot right around the corner, feel free to drop in now! Now's your chance!

Deputy position remains open until next rollover (2/1), after which it'll close and the new deputy will be picked! And our huge plot we've had cooking for a while now will finally kick off! Y'all don't wanna miss it, trust me >:)

[smokieswcrp]

ANOTHER HR UPDATE!

Sorry for the delay in posts again, it's been a bit busy recently! But as of the 19th we selected our new Ridgeclan deputy, Apricotglaze! We had a lot of good submissions and it was a hell of a struggle to pick, but I think we picked well :)

In other news, our first major plotline is about to kick up, as it's about to be Leafbare in-roleplay! So if you love dark themes and want to get in on the action, come on in, even if it's just as a spectator for now! It's about to get really fun 👀

[smokieswcrp]

The three Stars.

Some more art of server kitties! Our canon three leaders, Bonestar (bottom), Nettlestar (right) and Plaguestar (left)! Leaders of Tempest, Birch and Ridge, respectively. Absolutely stunning art done by our server member Mahey! (Maheylis on Discord)

This is a reminder to join SotS - we're always open! And we have JUST freed up an HR slot with the loss of Hummingwind in-roleplay, meaning if YOU'RE looking for a roleplay server to bring your deputy in, this could be your server! Applications for Ridge deputy close 1/18, so get them in fast!

Sorry for the delays in posting, I am trying to get back to regular kitty drops. Let's get to 200 members, eh? <3

Once again, a belated Happy New Year from the SotS team! We've been VERY busy behind the scenes, touching things up for 2026 👀 including, as of yesterday, implementing a shop system and two server currencies! Which are used to buy things like Fangspeak, Marked characters, predator/companion animal passes, etc - just all the things I want to keep limited but are cool character creation tools regardless. Everyone's been eating it up, so it's been going well!

We are just about to roll out the first major plot of the server, finally, and I'm so excited!! Things are getting juicy 👀 I promise more posts are soon to come! Getting back into the swing of things now that it's the New Year :] see you all in-server!

[smokieswcrp]

Belated Merry Christmas, Happy Holidays and what-have-you from the SotS staff team! It's been busy lately but we had a lovely Secret Santa exchange in-server and everyone has been having a great time hanging out as usual!

Coming into 2026, I have some hefty plans for SotS, including a complete lore rewrite (to make things more comprehensive and also leave room for an upcoming plot point), the enacting of our first major plot point, more NPCs and way more! There's no better time to join SotS than now, so if you're still on the fence, feel free to hop in!

Once again, thank you all SO much for the love and support for our server - every like on our blog, every member in-server, whatever we have, it all means the world to me. Looking forward to a continued happy existence - wishing everyone a happy New Year! Let's go SotS !!!

Vanillashine

Another SotS kitty! Vanillashine, one of our Birchclan warriors! (Art drawn by our lovely server member, their roleplayer sobsinstraightnt!)

(If he reminds you of a certain cookie ... yes he does, that is intentional ;))

Hello there ^^

Are kittypet ocs allowed in?

So we don't really have an established 'Twolegplace' of sorts in our roleplay as, in this version of the Smokies, Twolegs only visit during greenleaf and newleaf and leave in leaffall, but we have lots of characters with former housecat (kittypet) backstories!

You could say they live at the Visitor Center (one of the few Twoleg buildings in our little sect of the park in-roleplay) and are occasionally tended by people who drop by every now and then but otherwise are left to their own devices up until Newleaf/Greenleaf, or live with Twolegs at the very edge of the park (obviously we cannot account for the ENTIRE Smokies National Park into our roleplay server - there could very easily be some campers or an rv site out of sight of the Clans where they stay!) if you want to keep with a "kittypet" theme, or if you wish to incorporate it as a former element you could say they were a hiker's/RV site cat, Visitor Center runaway, etc!

TLDR to say; yes, we allow kittypets in some capacity, but how they fit into the world is up to you!
