TW BLOOD!

I finished it! This is BTB!Plumpelt and BTB!Amberclaw (or canon Redstar and Amberclaw) who were the leader and deputy when the Skyspruce was destroyed by a mudslide. Seeing the possibility of taking more land Star Plumpelt started not only attacking the weakened cats but also killing them. While Amberclaw had always followed his brother, a lion to a king, he couldn’t go along anymore and started helping cats who were against his brother. In an attempt to stop Plumpelt at last the leader was attacked at the border between the coteries, the brothers locked claws, tore each other up, but Plumpelt got the upper paw and killed his brother. The final scratch to shoot the stray Sky cats to grow stronger to rebel. Especially that cat Birdflight…

(ID- Au art for BTB showing off Plumpelt a ancient leader over his younger brother Amberclaw, his left paw pressing into the ginger cats face and other holding his still while Amber looks up to him with his left eye as the other is shut after a scratch. Plumpelt is a large magenta toned tabby with reddish eyes and a open bleeding crown shaped wound on his forehead. His right ear has a cloud shaped tear in it and his tail has a healed wound leaving a scarred nub poking out. His orange claws are bloodied and holding his brother down with a sneer on his face. Amberclaw is trapped under his brother’s claws and is a similar looking cat but more ginger with rich orange eyes and messy flame like fur. Four open bleeding wounds are on his right cheek and nose bridge, with the cheek ones causing his right eye to stay shut. His paws are splayed out with his claws out, the right claws stained in blood from scratching his brother. The background is dark with faint blood splatters. The outlines of both brothers has a motion blur in a magenta color and red making a kind of trippy effect. End ID)

Some BTB thoughts I’ve fully settled on but need to flesh out more

The Risen in the Star Scape (Starclan Cats) are a mix of good and not so good cats. Getting in is more so based on the current councils feelings on a cat’s life instead of one a more just system. Currently it is led by the ancient Moonmouth (Moth Flight), Star Plumpelt (Redstar), Star Duskwater (Darkstar, MSV), Sagewhisker, and possibly a few more cats. Some cats are swapped out if they have certain specific biases that may convolute the decision but it usually stays the same with the ancient cat, two or three leaders, two medics, and possibly a oracle if necessary (tho in Moonmouth’s case she was a oracle and the chosen ancient cat)

The Dark Forest is entirely cut it doesn’t fit the feel of BTB. Instead all cats that are allowed to “rise” are trapped in a version of the ground below. They walk the same world as the living but it’s a lot colder and sometimes even darker compared to what it’s like for the living. Particular ghosts that wander the world can affect certain aspects of nature like how The River’s Wraith can control the currents or The Fallen Star sends storms when disturbed to cover the stars above the cats. The Star Scape itself is just a copy of the world below but brighter and shifts slightly to accommodate its specific residents needs as well as having a direct access to the real world that’s used by the risen to send creatures or fall back down to the normal world.

Think of the Star Scape like a Mist that hangs over the real world. It’s not connected directly to it but it still shapes to the ground and is connected to it. While all ghosts simply are trapped in a darker version of the world
