Imagine that an AU where Darktail heard about Scourge and was like, "Yes. That is a name that the clans fear, so I shall take that name for myself! I AM SCOURGE!"
And Scourge is in purgatory walking the earth and reliving his life over and over when suddenly feels a weight. He feels someone calling out to him. Multiple voices at once calling.
He becomes a patron of sorts that cats call to become something others fear! To those who feel they've been wrong. To those who seek retribution and revenge! That is why Bloodclan never truly dies.
Because there will always be someone who remembers and wants to be remembered.
And also like, imagine a Scourge of generations that the clans just have to face, and soon they start realizing that they can't keep fighting and killing. What they're doing needs to change.
Scourge isn't in DF, but he's the start of a place beyond the place of no stars for non-clan cats.
IMAGINE HOW COOL THAT WOULD BE!!!
Holy shit wait dude you just added so much more cool shit to the "What if Scourge was a title and there was multiple Scourges running around" idea. Imagine if the title of Scourge was seen as a bad thing in the clans eyes, almost everybody else saw it as a good thing because they believe that the clans need to be put in their place, one way or another.
Imagine some groups of cats see the name of "Scourge" as a leadership name, sorta in the same vein of the -Star. Either having Scourge become a suffix or having it be like a knight's name, like "(Name) the Scourge". So much that this idea can bring, holy shit
