New Longstar AU - Outsiders and Rogues
As there are many many cats in the world, there are many cats that have different lifestyles and different ways of viewing the world. The Clans views of outsiders ave varied from clan to clan. These are the ones that our Clans have interacted with in the past, and hints of what they might run into in the future.
Kittypets
Kittypets are those who live with the mysterious and unpredictable Twolegs in their Tall Dens. They are usually well groomed, with distinctive markings and vivid colors to their pelts. Many Kittypets wear collars of strange materials around their necks, and some even have full body armor on at all times! (That’s a walking harness you mousebrain! -Flamewish) There are Kittypets who don’t want to BE Kittypets, and Twolegs who mistreat their charges, but the majority of Kittypets love their Twoleg, and said Twoleg seems to love them back.
The majority of Kittypets are fearful of Clan cats or intruders, but be forewarned – some are ferocious as a Front-Line Brawler, and often attacking a Kittypet leads to their Twoleg coming after the aggressor. Some Clan cats have been lost this way – it is said that Pinestar was battling a Kittypet molly on a Thunderpath when her Twolegs scooped them up into a Monster. He has never been seen again…
Loners
Loners are those who walk the world either alone or in groups of less than 5. They may have a small territory, or wander in certain paths. Loners can be former Kittypets, or banished from previous groups. Some loners have friendly relationships with the Clans – there are some that visit Windclan, and there were a few that saw Shadowclan as friends, before Raggedstar and Brokenstar. Some Loners have even joined the Clans in the past, and it is whispered if a Queen or King brings kits to the camp with no other parent, they could have Loner blood.
Clowders
A Clowder is any medium to large group of non-Clan cats with a structured society and rules. Usually led by one to three cats, most Clowders are just trying to do the best they can in a cruel world, but others are just power-hungry. There are Clowders in churches, and on the streets of Twoleg Territories. Clowders that protect the weak, and Clowders that exploit the innocent. Some have a defined territory, while others wander together. The Loners that visit Windclan are part of a larger Clowder, the WorldWalkers, that meets up every year, then splits off to explore. Another, spoken of in rumors, is nearly all mollies, that eject their toms at adulthood, and speak to the dead. (These rumors are highly exaggerated)
The Barn Cats
Specifically speaking of the Barn on the edge of the Clan Territories, the Barn Cats are a very friendly Clowder that is allied with the Clans. The Barn is seen as a neutral zone, so as long as no one starts a fight, everyone is welcome. Cats who visit are expected to have manners and provide for others who may be resting there, so bring some prey or nesting material or feathers for kits to play with. Currently run by Barley and his sister Violet, they have allowed a garden of Emergency Herbs to be grown on the grounds, and keep the Twolegs that visit occasionally from stealing any kits or young cats that are sheltering there. Ravenpaw of Thunderclan has joined the Barn Cats, and become the Herbalist of this Clowder.
Rogues
The criminal element of the outsiders, Rogues are only looking out for themselves. They lie and cheat and steal, intimidate and eviscerate, battle and leave blood in their wake. Usually living alone, they can be mistaken for Loners, and may pretend for a time, but eventually their true nature is revealed. Groups of Rogues are led by either the strongest or the cleverest, and are generally cruel Clowders to grow up in. Some born Rogues may choose to change their ways, but escape is such a difficult thing to do. Bloodclan was a powerful Rogue Clowder, but with Tyrant’s Defeat, it has waned into little more that infighting and violence. Some say a certain molly and a certain tom are trying to rebuild Bloodclan into something new and better, but no one in the Clans knows for certain…
There are whispered rumors of a Clowder of Rogues that is forming in the Twoleg Territory, as strong as Bloodclan and as wicked as Miretrees…
