Server Overhaul and Reopening!

Due to a combination of things, Noctus was closed for a few months. However, we're reopening! We've also got some important things to cover.

As a reminder, we are a 16+ literate WCRP server where all cats are instead gryphons. We are inspired by Guardians of Ga'hoole and fantasy from around the world. We have linked our lore website below if you would like to know more.

The FenKin and the RainKin Fusion

The FenKin and the RainKin have combined into one clan, now known just as the RainKin. All of this has been reflected on our website.

Events

We have events planned that we never got to explore when Noctus first opened. We will be finally getting to those. For one, new deputies need to be chosen and this will take place as a competitive event!

LORE POST - 🌻SunKin Burial Practices

Most SunKin deaths were buried just beyond the oasis in the Wild Dunes, but having such a large amount of fallen to bury following the Conflict made it hard to dig graves in the ever shifting sand. There were a few other options, like Ibisdance suggesting respected warriors be buried with the sphinx, but in the end, the gryphons agreed that the Sunbathing Hills would be the perfect location.

The Sunbathing Hills is where Sunstar lost her last life. Sunstar, the rest of the fallen warriors, artisans, hunters, and other gryphons of the SunKin who hadn’t yet been buried were transported and buried at the final battlefield in a lush savannah clearing. These graves are unmarked, but many brought trinkets, armor, pottery, and other goodies to be buried alongside the gryphon in their grave.

While most gryphons are buried in the Sunbathing Hills, not all stick to tradition. Newer generations of the SunKin have been drawing away from the uptight, diplomatic nature they’re well known for. It’s why you might find a few gryphons that have a special request: to get a ‘dune burial.’

Dune burials are not the same as the original way the SunKin buried their dead. Instead, the gryphon is wrapped in a tanned hide, taken to the dunes, and left to be consumed by a sand worm. Some gryphons may see this as a ‘hardcore’ way to be reclaimed by the ground while some see it as a way to connect intrinsically to Andromeda. It depends on who you ask.

GRYPHON GALLERY - MILKMOON

she/they | 87 moons | moonspeaker of the FenKin Milkmoon is a waterfowl smew gryphon, her size somewhat smaller than average at a height of about 13 hands with a wingspan of 22 hands. The plumage at her head starts as a red-brown (this red-brown matches the color of her slightly small, roundish ears), but cleanly stops and becomes blue-gray at the base of her neck, and this gray continues for the rest of her body; her hind is the exact same color, though with the tip of her tail being white and her having white socks. Her tail is a bit short, but medium length and plenty fluffy compared to her (mostly) smooth, waterproof feathers. ... appearance continues on sheet.

Similarly to their leader, Jasminestar, Milkpuddle was seen as an ideal candidate for moonspeaker tyro thanks to her meek nature. However, it was originally her brother Yewmoon who held the position, a fiery contrast to Milk's silence. Yewmoon's later opposition to the cult of Fenmoon is what would lead to his quiet demise, Milkpuddle replacing him and being told to do just as Fenmoon said.

Throughout the war, Milkpuddle was expected to heal the clan and question nothing. It came to no surprise that she was one of the most affected by Fenmoon's death. Without the former moonspeaker's guidance, was she even deserving of the title? When they first met Andromeda, the dragon soothed their worries by forgiving them, promising that nothing was their fault. Milkpuddle returned from the meeting with a new name: Milkmoon.

A cub who was left on the border shortly after the conflict was named Dahliacub, accepted into the FenKin without hesitation. As Milkmoon kept an eye out for Dahliacub, who became Dahliaspark, the two of them grew attached. Milkmoon knew she could never adopt a cub thanks to the code, but Dahliaspark was like a daughter to her. Even if they are distant now, this still holds true in Milkmoon's heart.

wait so to join we just join the discord? im used to having to fill out google forms or something to apply so im just confused,,,

Yes! Originally, we had an application period, but since we did not get enough characters, we’ve since then opened the Discord server to new members.

You just have to join the Discord, submit a writing sample for verification, then you’re in. You make a character there. Though we currently have Event Alpha going on, that’s just to pass time before we get to the real fun stuff! Our ranks are growing but need more characters before we can do our first major event.

EVENT 'ALPHA' - START!

🌻The SunKin are picking up after a sandstorm that blew dozens of nests across their camp. They've got to pick up and rebuild many nests piece by piece, including some that were left over from gryphons who died in the conflict. Maybe you can help out and get a bit sentimental?

🌊The RainKin are dealing with an infestation of sirens! There's dozens of them. Thankfully, they're easy to take down and population control isn't anything new for the RainKin. However, how many can one gryphon take? They need all the warriors they can get - perhaps you're up to join!

🌲The FenKin are preparing for the Moonlight Festival! Flowers, stones, bountiful food and jewelry are being gathered in preparation for the event. How dedicated will these gryphons get? There's more than a moon left to prepare for this festival, so come join the FenKin before it's too late to participate!

🗻The SkyKin share a territory with the advanced centaurs. They've started to get a bit more aggressive, patrolling the territory where gryphons typically hunt. While it's advised to stay away from them, they tend to bring goodies on their patrols that you might have the bravery to snag... It's all valuable stuff!

You can also make a character who can be picked for deputy! We have our own system that allows three candidates to fight for the spot of deputy and there will be an event just for this in all four clans!

GRYPHON GALLERY - COYOTEDUNE

he/it | 40 moons | hunter of the SunKin Coyotedune is a cinereous harrier gryphon; he is a bit larger than most of his companions coming at 18 hands tall, with a wingspan of nearly 25 hands. Its essence can be described as both regal and dramatic, its body being made of fluid, thick lines of muscle. LIke most of his Kin however, it possesses large ears and medium length dense brown fur. His feather’s cover around 40% percent of his body; their colors being a dark desaturated brown, a light tan, and a medium brown which he sports across all his fur aside from the paws which are dark as well. He has a sharp beak and talons. Coyotedune also has a total of 6 obsidian ear piercings.

Coyotedune was destined for greatness from the start, being born to a long line of strong, large gryphons feared throughout Noctus. However, Coyotedune felt differently about his future than what his father, Ironscorpion, had planned. It pursued hunting rather than being a warrior to the great chagrin of his family. Though arguments were had and ties were severed, Coyotedune passed his tyro trial with flying colors and made a name for himself as a powerful hunter of the SunKin.

Coyotedune's mother left Noctus in her disappointment and Ironscorpion passed soon afterwards, leaving Coyotedune to fend for himself. Nowadays, while Coyotedune has some naivety and trusts too easily, it is a kind-hearted, well-meaning gryphon who has sworn never to hurt another member of his species thanks to the stories of the Conflict. Coyotedune's head is often up in the clouds as he wishes for a gleaming future for Noctus.

GRYPHON GALLERY - HOLLOWBREEZE

she/they | 36 moons | hunter of the SkyKin Hollowbreeze is a waxwing gryphon with amber eyes, blue-gray skin and beak, and various shades of brown, tan and gray saturating her sleek pelt and tail. Being among the outlying percentage of SkyKin’s smaller framed gryphons, Hollowbreeze is stood at approximately 14 hands at the shoulders, proudly flaunting a long tail and a wingspan that nearly doubles her size— 24 hands. Decorating her face are darker feathers that resemble a mask in appearance, which gradually develop into the warmer tones of her body as they progress from head to flank, as if to naturally highlight and provide shadowy definition to her toned physique. Both her pelt and plumage are generally thin in volume, though are relatively long and silky to the touch, aiding in her formidable speed and coordination in flight.

Before the war, Hollowbreeze's mother, Ashpool, was in love with a gryphon named Marshthorn. He was a waxwing gryphon; thanks to the mask over his eyes, the ringball team he formed was named Team Penumbra, celebrated for their skill and use of mimicry. Though Marshthorn died in the war, Ashpool found it in her to move on to another gryphon named Creekstep.

Ashpool's cardinal coloring and Creekstep's loggerhead shrike appearance made Hollowbreeze look eerily similar to Marshthorn by coincidence, which drove Ashpool out of Noctus with grief. She was followed by Creekstep, and Hollowbreeze was left alone. However, this doesn't mean that Hollowbreeze didn't grow up to be a successful hunter and ringball player. You can find her in the camp recruiting gryphons for Team Penumbra, a revival of the long forgotten ringball group from before the war. They're charming, spunky, and eager to make a name for themself in the SkyKin as a fearless hunter.

Early Start

Hey, everyone! As you probably saw, the server just opened this morning. This was by mistake, as the post was supposed to be scheduled for the 8th. However, I will be keeping the post and Discord link up, and Noctus is opening to the public a day early. Thanks for the support!

🐇ADOPTABLE: RABBITDASH

UTA pronouns / age UTA / warrior of the SunKin A greater roadrunner gryphon with green eyes and cheetah spots.

While Rabbitdash comes off as an "act first, think later" kind of gryphon, you'd be surprised to learn that they actually calculate every move they make. This is one reason they've landed a spot as a warrior rather than a hunter or artisan: Rabbitdash is extremely good at finding the weakpoints of an enemy and taking advantage of them. Rabbitdash is a charming gryphon who talks their way in and out of situations. If that's not an option, they'll simply dash out of the situation instead.

Rabbitdash was one of three cubs born to a young pair. While the pair of gryphons split up thanks to a rocky relationship, leading to one leaving Noctus as a whole and the other perishing thanks to their cockiness against a manticore, Rabbitdash was committed to helping their siblings. Though they were all the same age, Rabbitdash frequently protected the others and stood up for them. Unfortunately, both of these siblings would eventually pass away, leaving Rabbitdash as the sole survivor of their family tree. They are now a professional dunesledder.

Interested in roleplaying Rabbitdash in a server with a mythical take on Warrior Cats? Look out for our server opening on March 8th!

It's just very important to me that you know prairie-style gardens exist.

Ok. Thank you. Carry on.

[theclansofnoctusrp]

Update on Final Application Period

The application period opening on March 8th will be open to OCs and adoptables.

We will close our server to the public after we get enough spectators.

Thank you!

🌼 ADOPTABLE: DAISYPETAL

she/her/UTA | 70 moons | warrior of the FenKin A letter-winged kite gryphon with red eyes and gray extremities. She is at least 18 hands tall.

Daisypetal's a himbo - a herbo, if you will - in the sense that while she is big and strong, she doesn't have much going on upstairs and she's too nice for her own good. She will do anything for anyone and often messes up along the way. She enjoys growing flowers even though she tends to crush them under her claws. Despite being airheaded, she is emotionally mature; however, she tends to prioritize the emotions of others over herself.

Daisypetal was born to two gryphons who turned from pacifist to bloodthirsty in the Conflict of Noctus. Both were warriors who died to the claws of the RainKin. Desperately, she tries to prove her worth as a warrior and her constant mess-ups don't help - she sometimes wonders whether she's suited for the position. She has always been a very talented fighter if not for her two left paws when it comes to dexterity.

Interested in roleplaying Daisypetal in a server with a mythical take on Warrior Cats? Look out for our server adoptable opening on March 8th!

Final Application Period Starting Soon

Everyone who was contacted has gotten into the server! Some people have asked for extensions, so our allegiances will not reflect our full cast until next week.

With that being said, our next application period will be beginning March 8th, next Wednesday, using our new system. Our new system is as follows:

Adopts will be posted in the server from our most recent applicants and from the staff. Some of these adopts will be featured on the Tumblr.

A link to our server - yes, our actual server - will be posted to this blog, allowing people to join with a verification process.

If you are interested in an adopt, you will join the server as a spectator and reserve that adoptable. You will have a certain amount of time to complete the sheet for the adoptable. In the meantime, you can spectate the roleplay, meet our members, and draft up any other OCs you might introduce to Noctus!

If the adopt you were looking to claim is taken, you can stay in the server as a spectator and wait until another OC application period opens or take another adopt that caught your eye. There will be many who are not featured on the Tumblr.

Either after a certain amount of time or when all of our adoptables are snagged, the server will close to the public and events will begin.

As of today, roleplay has started in Noctus.
