More info under cut!

Heya! Welcome to my ClanGen blog.

TempestClan's Beginning follows - you guessed it - TempestClan as four young cats navigate leadership, love, and past trauma.

This story is mainly a passion project of mine, so expect it to be a little rough around the edges/not perfect.

Asks are OPEN and ENCOURAGED! I love yapping about my stupid little cat children.

Since I'm playing on GeneMod, I ALSO encourage questions about cat genetics!

As for RNG - I usually incorporate it into a larger story that I'm trying to build.

I take inspo from many ClanGen blogs, but my main inspos are SplinterClan and DaisyClan!

It's been a long time comin'!

With Moon 25 FINALLY on the horizon, and with things settling back into a normal pace, I can finally celebrate this blog reaching 1000 Followers! I know it's been very up and down lately, but I want to thank you all from the bottom of my heart for keeping up with TidalClan. I promise there is more to come as I get more and more satisfied with the style I want the comic to be in! I want to deliver something you all can enjoy and get attached to!

In celebration, two upcoming cats (one that will be seen right away in Moon 25) have the chance to be designed by YOU! But if you're not interested, please reblog this post so it can interest other artists out there! Guidelines and Contest Rules Below!

For this contest, you will be able to design TWO cats in TidalClan's world! You do not have to do both of course, all up to you! The information provided to you will be their names, their in-game sprite and some very basic personality. If you would like to add anything extra that's in line with their provided personality, go right ahead! I love seeing other's ideas! First up is: Condorstar! Yes! A leader! Condorstar is a long-furred, white tom with brown rosette markings splotched on his flank, and a spot of brown on his right cheek, and yellow eyes. Secondly we have: Puddlesand! Puddlesand is an elderly gray point calico tabby she-cat with deep blue eyes. (She's actually described as "gray/ginger point calico tabby", though her sprite has no ginger! Buuuuuuuuuut if you want to add ginger to her design, go for it!).

Rules: - Submissions must be your own original works. Any suspicion of AI usage will result in an immediate disqualification. No base recolors, no sources outside drawing software. - By submitting, you agree that the design, if chosen, belongs to me and will be used in the comic. - As such, anything that happens to the character is a result of the ClanGen RNG or plot relevance. If they die, they are gone with no questions. - Colored, Fullbody sketches are the most preferred. - You do not need to be a follower to enter! Everyone will have equal chance of winning, as every submission will be placed into a wheel. - That said, ONLY ONE SUBMISSION PER PERSON. While you may draw both, I will not be choosing both designs for Condor and Puddle from the same person. There *should* be two winners, unless the wheel decides otherwise. - Please use the tag #TidalClanContest and @ me in your submission :3

The winning designs will be chosen on July 21th at 8pm EST. The winning designers will receive a huge shoutout PLUS a shaded fully-body character of their choice drawn by yours truly ^^ If there's no submissions, well, uh... ok then.

Hiatus Announcement

Hey yall, so sorry to have to make this announcement, but TempestClan will be on hiatus for the foreseeable future. If not complete silence, updates will be few and far between.

I have been very busy the past few weeks, and when I'm not busy, I'm resting, and when I'm not resting, I'm working on MAP parts or other personal art projects.

I also haven't been enjoying making this comic. New updates will probably have a simpler, stripped back style, because fully rendering every page is very, very time consuming. During this hiatus I also plan to do an overhaul of TempestClan's story so that it is the best it can be for you all.

Thank you for understanding, I really love this community and hope to be back soon <3

@rooted-clangen

Here's my contribution to the Root Adoption AU! Yap below the cut!

This would happen around the very beginning of TempestClan. Whalekit sneaks out of camp one day and finds Rootkit and he decides to bring her back. With no real connection with the other Clans or where she may have come from, TempestClan takes her in.

I don't think she'd be closer with one of the kits over the other, nor would she have official adoptive parents/siblings. Whale is happy to have a playmate around his age, and Tern is happy to have a cat who shares his interest in healing and StarClan.

Meanwhile, Puffinquill and Wildfirestar are more hesitant. They already have their paws full with Whale and Tern, so another kit just adds to the monumental responsibilities that these teenagers/young adults are taking on. As time passes, Puffin would spend more time with Root as Wildfire takes on the responsibilities of leadership and trying to keep TempestClan afloat. This would lead to Puffin influencing her to be more hesitant, lacking the fiery determination of Wildfirestar.

Rootpaw becomes a medic apprentice and a diviner alongside Ternpaw, who is a medic apprentice and a botanist. They're a great balance for TempestClan—a healer who can focus on StarClan and spirituality, and another who can focus on cultivating plants and herbs. (I always thought that med cats in canon have way too many responsibilities, especially when there's only one, like how do they get all that done 😭!?) They would become good friends across the course of their apprenticeship and end up getting their full names at the same time. I can see hwr being named Rootwing (due to my the Clans' obsession with birds).

I don't want to spoil anything, but I could definitely see her being very involved with a future plotline that I'm still working on since she is both the most religious and the earliest outsider to join.

Due to some unfortunate circumstances and a miscalculation, she falls victim to a ~future event,~ dying at around 25 moons old. However, death is not the end for Rootwing, since in the eyes of [spoiler], she is a very useful pawn. ;-)

[rooted-clangen]

Oof... dying young huh? Lore below!

She's save by Tempestclan, and raised communally, but often feels alone. She's not like them, she thinks, as Starclan plagues her night after night. But there are joys, like her friend Tern and her chance to become a medic, though her obvious connection to the stars makes her their main connection to them. Root wants to prove herself, she wants to belong. If she isn't enough, then what was the point of being there? This is Root though, so she does just fine, if not more out there and perhaps struggling to determine what is real and what are her prophetic visions.

Rootwing is good at what she does. She's respected, even when young. But the she meets her end, having hardly seen two years of life... or has she?
