PeakClan - the Determined and Loyal - Open!

PeakClan is a Clan that lives in the mountains. These mountains are more low-lying and do not experience as much snowfall, so life is not as difficult as other mountainous regions. However, the abundance of rock and ice is hard on the paws, and prey is difficult to find. While most cats struggle in such an environment, PeakClan cats excel. Moons of traversing the rocky terrain have given them hardened, callused paw pads and lean, powerful leg muscles from leaping from rock to rock. PeakClan cats are also fast, a byproduct of chasing down fleet-footed hares and roadrunners that make the shrubby lowlands of the mountains their homes. PeakClan cats usually have black, brown, gray, and/or white pelts to blend in with the mountain terrain. Golden pelts are rare, and ginger even rarer. Above all, PeakClan cats are loyal and determined, and are persistent in everything they do.

Important Dates - -

The mountains were never a place meant to be inhabited by cats. But things changed when a young tom named Boulder arrived in the moors, before any of the Clans existed. There, he met a beautiful silver tabby she-cat named Ripple. Ripple was alone, and struggling to care for her three kits. Kind at heart, Boulder offered to help her care for them. He had grown weary of his travels and longed to settle down. Time passed, and Boulder and Ripple grew closer, and eventually became mates. Their life was happy, until one day, a gang of foxes invaded the small den they called home. Starved and crazed for blood, the wily foxes hunted them down wherever in the forest they went, and they were eventually forced to escape into the mountains, the one place even the foxes refused to follow. Unfortunately, they had arrived at an unforgiving season, and in the coming leaf-bare, two of Ripple's three kits died. Desperate to protect the remaining kit, Boulder forced himself to adapt to mountain hunting to provide for it, and developed the signature hardened paw pads of PeakClan cats. Thanks to Boulder's resourcefulness, the family survived leaf-bare, and in the following newleaf, Ripple revealed that she was pregnant with her and Boulder's kits. Meanwhile, Ripple's surviving kit, Beetle, was growing older, and Boulder began to train him in hunting in the rough mountain terrain, like a mentor and an apprentice. While they were hunting, they came across a starving cat, who was clearly struggling to hunt in the terrain. Boulder offered to teach his techniques to the tom, allowing him to catch prey much easier. In return, the grateful rogue promised to help Boulder provide for his family. The tom, who was named Flame, began to visit Boulder and Ripple often. They were soon joined by another cat, a young apprentice-aged tom named Sparrow, who also hunted with them.

News spread about the small community of cats that was growing in the mountains, and more and more cats came to join them, eager to learn how to survive in such an unforgiving territory. While he appreciated having extra hands to help, Boulder was unsure how to lead such a large group. To clear his head, he decided to take a walk up the mountain. Almost as if by destiny, his paws carried him farther and farther, until he eventually reached the top of the mountain. When he reached the top, he was shocked by what he saw. Starry cats surrounded him, eyes of starlight glowing in the darkness. A single cat stepped out from the crowd, an elegant she-cat with a pelt full of stars. She told him that his group of cats was destined to become a Clan, and Boulder, their first leader. The peak of the mountain was where he had found his answer. She told him to take on the name 'star', and lead the cats in the ways of the wild. Taking her words to heart, Boulder decided to acknowledge the cats of the stars. He returned to the group, now named Boulderstar, to find that Ripple had given birth to his daughter, a young she-cat. To mark the beginning of the new Clan, as the cats of the Peak, Boulderstar named her Peakkit. He made Flame his second-in-command, who would eventually been known as the deputy, and PeakClan began. Many moons later, the current PeakClan continues to thrive. Peakkit eventually grew into the second leader of the clan, Peakstar, and took Sparrow, then known as Sparrowtail, as her mate. They had two kits, Mousetail and Icewhisker, who are now elders in the Clan. As a warrior, Icewhisker mentored a young cat called Eaglepaw, who is now Eaglestar, the leader of PeakClan.

Leader - -

Eaglestar

Eaglestar is a large gray tom with warm amber eyes. He has massive white paws and a white muzzle, and a long tail with a white tail tip. Eaglestar is a benevolent and open-minded cat who is willing to do what is needed to make is clan stronger. He is accepting of outsiders if they can become assets to the Clan, but is not afraid to lead his Clan into battle if need be. As a fairly young leader, he values the advice of the other senior warriors and the medicine cat to guide him.

Medicine Cat - -

Stonefang

A thin tom with long legs and a well built structure. Even though he's pretty thin, he does have muscle and has a lot of strength. His appearance may fool many new cats because they think he will be weak, but will realize how nasty he can be at fighting. He has dark blue eyes with light blue around the pupil and black around his eyes. His fur is thick and messy, not being groomed enough by being so busy. The color is dark gray with light gray paws, ears, and stripes running down his tail. A large scratch covers his right eye, but it hasn't blinded him. The two of his canine teeth are long and curves down on top of his lower lip. Stonefang is very observant and a quiet cat to be around. He likes to listen instead of speak up and will only speak his mind if someone asks, or he really needs to in an important situation. He also has an attitude, being snappy at times or sarcastic at other clan mates. This doesn't mean he cares less for them, it's just because he a cranky cat. He loves what he does even though he doesn't show it and whenever he fails, he will close himself off. He has high respect for the leader.

Fawnpaw

A small she-cat with light brown fur. Her underbelly, muzzle, and the bottom half of her small, short tail are white. The same white flecks are scattered across her pelt. Her nose, inner ears, and pawpads are a rosy pink while her eyes are a vivid green color. She's agile, thin, and has soft fur. Although not necesarily shy, Fawnpaw is gentle and has a soothing voice. She's also incredibly patient - a surprise to many - and has a great memory. The she-cat would never dare hurt a soul. She much rather help her clanmates than spend her time being thirsty for battle. However, despite all this, Fawnpaw is clumsy and gets flustered easily. She tends to be a victim of surprises, too.

Stormwing

The best way to describe Stormwing is big. He has a big frame covered in long, blue-grey fur. He's got paws the size of a small kit and ears that look as if they're capable of hearing a whispered conversation at one end of camp with him sitting at the other. His tail is long enough to ring round himself in a sitting-up position. His clear blue eyes are great at spotting things, liars especially. Inherited from his deceased mother, he shares them with his younger half-brother Ivypaw. The biggest thing about Stormwing is probably his heart. He loves his clanmates, kits being his favorite. He tends to act like one, playful and innocent. But, don't be fooled. He's no idiot.

Cinderstorm

Cinderstorm is anything but a pretty she-cat. Her pelt is an ash-brown color, resembling the dark soot of a volcano. Her frame is small compared to her clanmates, most apprentices overtake her in size around 8 moons. Her long fur is fluffy and soft. It has the potential to be glossy and smooth, if she ever bothered to clean it. Bits of dirt like to stick to it, hiding strong muscles. There's a white splash on her chest that touches her shoulders and a bit of her underbelly. The tips of her tail and ears as well as her back right paw are black. Probably her only saving grace is her eyes. A lovely sea green, they tend to darken and lighten with the seasons. Although Cinderstorm does her best to get along with every cat, she doesn't actually have anybody she truly sees as friend. No cat she's comfortable telling all her troubles to. Because of this, she switches between being extremely sociable and retreating as a loner. This most likely off puts any possible friends as they wouldn't know why she's stopped speaking to them.

Fiery orange and light brown sandy colored tom. He has tabby stripes along his tail and bright amber colored eyes.  Flamewhisker is a loyal tom who will always protect his clanmates. He has a few issues with pride and can sometimes be arrogant.

Cliffclaw

Cliffclaw is a pitch black tom with green eyes. He has bright russet paws and distinctive gray mottles on his flank. Cliffclaw is fairly hot tempered and quick to dismiss outsiders as useless. Although oftentimes abrasive, he genuinely cares about the well-being of the Clan, and does the best he can for his clanmates, in his own way. Although he can often come off as arrogant, it is mainly due to how direct he is in his approach.

Cavewhisper

A slender, but fluffy she-cat with short legs and small ears. Her eyes are emerald green and her fur is black. Her black pelt is very fluffy everywhere, but can be groomed down to be smooth and flattened. She prefers her fur all over the place to keep herself warm. There's white specks on her muzzle and on her chest area. Even though she has short legs, she can still get around as easily as others, but can struggle more when it's icy out. Her small ears keep it so they don't get as old and can hear better close up, but can have a hard time listening closely when a noise is far away. Even though of her size, she can still fight and hunt pretty well. Cavewhisper got her name from being born in a storm inside the cave and many cats thought she wouldn't make it alive from how harsh the weather was. She has a very motherly tone to her, wanting to help anyone who is in need and will watch over kits if anyone wanted some time out of camp. Whenever someone makes fun of her size, she will try to fight back and prove herself to them. It can hurt at times when cats will think she shouldn't be a part of the clan since her appearance even though she's a pure clan cat.

Skyfall

Of a average female height. This she-cat's pelt resembles that of a russian blue, with a long and feathery tail and strikingly blue eyes, seeming like that of the sky, and a scar makes its home just above her nose. While hunting, her built and agile form makes her a formidable opponent. Friendly and outgoing, she is accepting and loves all her clanmates as if they were her family. She's always willing to listen and bend to others preferences, as well as make them content, and she will lay her life down for them. She's also awfully curious, and her eagerness to learn more often earns her trouble. When close to others, she can be sassy and playful, which others may perceive as rude.

 Though he seems tough, this tom is clumsy and goofy, and he enjoys having fun within camp. Outside, however, he takes on a more serious demeanor, and will strive for his goal until accomplished. He enjoys adventure and bears the same curiosity his sister has, only he knows how to control it.

Spottedbelly is a bright tom who is almost always perky, ready for anything. He is witty and loves to tell a joke. The downside, he can be facetious and is a lovelorn. He is horrible at fighting, which is why his apprentice training took longer than most. For what he lacks in battle skill, he makes up with his specialty in hunting.

Ivypaw

Ivypaw is a small, long-legged black tom. His pale blue eyes resemble his older half-brother Stormwing's. He has long scars running along his pelt from his Dark Forest training, but he often brushes them off as mere accidents.  A good way to describe this apprentice is ambitious. Training in the dark forest every night has Ivypaw's skills honed well and he isn't afraid to use them, often times getting scolded for unsheathing his claws during training. Despite Ivypaw's ambitious nature, he isn't a bad cat per say. He strives to be the best he can be and he truly believes to do that he can't show weakness. And so his face is normally a blank mask, only shifting when in the dark forest or with Stormwing.

Battle Moves - -

Back kick

Explosive surprise more to catch opponent from Behind. Judge opponents distances from you carefully, then lash out with you back legs, taking the weight on your front paws.

Back rake

A bit like Belly rake, if your a SkyClan cat this move works best. If your fighting a cat from the front, jump over the cats head and score your claws down their back.

Belly rake

A fight stopper. Slice with unsheathed claws across soft flesh of opponents belly. If your pinned down, the belly rake quickly puts you back in control.

Double death bite

Seems dishonorable and is only used against very evil cats. A partner and you take on one cat. Once you've got a hold of your opponent, your partner helps hold down enemy cat, and you both bite hard down on enemy cat's throat. Two pairs of jaws will cut off airway and cat will choke to death. Like I said, it's considered dishonorable and would only be used against evil cats like Tigerstar.

Dizzy dance

Only can be preformed by a extremely small and quick cat against a larger and at least somewhat slower cat. The cat charges head on then swiftly leaped sideways, ducking under the cat then as soon as the cat preforming this attack is out from under the other cat it spins and leaps over it. Then once More spins but rams the side then jumps over/goes under the cat and rams the other side then land one final blow by leaping onto the cat's back and grabbing the scruff with teeth and using your free paws to batter the cat's head. This attack should in the end result in a dizzy or confused enemy.

Dizzy tackle

A great move for swift young warriors facing older, larger warriors. You run in circles around them at top speed until their to dizzy or tired (if the were chasing you) to keep up. Then you tackle them. While they are down, attack. Caution, standing directly over them makes you vulnerable to the Belly Rake. This is a One-on-one move and is not recommended in a place with many foes.

Front paw blow

Frontal Attack. Bring your front paws down hard on you opponents head, claws unsheathed.

Front paw strike

Frontal attack. Slice downward with your front paw at the body or face of your opponent. Claws unsheathed.

Killing bite

A death blow to the back of the neck. Quick and silent and sometimes considered dishonorable. Used only as a last resort.

Leap and hold

Ideal for a small cat facing a large opponent. Spring onto the opponents back and grip with unsheathed claws. Now you are beyond the range of your opponent paws and in the position to inflict severe body wounds. A group of apprentices can defeat a large and dangerous warrior in this way.

Leap-and-cover

Ideal for making your opponent feel much pain, leap onto your opponent's back and put your paws over their eyes. For the moment the opponent is blinded, sink your claws into the soft skin around their eyes. If your opponent doesn't run away, take advantage of their temporary blindness and perform leap-and-hold move.

Making sure

You never know if a opponent is actually dead. When an opponent goes limp, they become vulnerable, so make sure they are really dead. Bite and slash. Claws unsheathed. When you think they have gone to StarClan, pray and leave.

Partner fighting

Warriors who have trained and fought together will often instinctively fall into a paired defensive position, each protecting the others back while fending off an opponent o either side. Slashing, clawing, and leaping together, battle pairs can be whirlwind of danger for attackers.

Play dead

Effective in a tight situation, such as when you are pinned. Stop struggling and go limp. When your opponent relaxed his grip, thinking you are defeated, push yourself up explosively. This will throw off an unwary opponent and you are in the attacking position.

Scruff shake

Secure a strong teeth grip in the scuff of your opponents neck, then shake violently until he or she is to rattled to fight back. Most effective against rats, which are small enough to throw. A strong throw will stun or kill them.

Tail trip

The opponent moves to you and at the right moment, trip them with your tail.

Teeth grip

Target your opponents extremists- the legs, tail, scuff, or ears- and sink in your teeth and hold. This move is similar to the leap and hold, except your claws remain free to fight.

Unbalancing act

If a cat is going to bring down all its weight on you while rearing on its back legs, role towards your opponents hind legs to unbalance him.

Upright lock

Final, crushing more on already weakened opponent. Rear up on your back legs and bring full weight on your opponent. If opponent does the same, wrestle and flip him under you. This move makes you vulnerable to the belly rake, so requires great strength and speed.

Battle Tactics - -

Approach from behind your enemy

The advantage is gaining the higher ground is that you can charge at greater speed at the enemy, who will be weakened by having to fight uphill.

Use the light from the sun

The sun should be behind you to dazzle your Use the light from the sun enemy. In green leaf, the midday sun is especially bright and cruel to cats who are used to sulking under the cover of the trees. In leaf bare, the low sun hovers around the eye line like a troublesome bee, keep your enemy from facing it, and they'll have trouble seeing an attacker from any direction.

Know were the wind is coming from

If there is a strong wind, it should be blow from behind you toward the enemy, blinding them with dust and holding them back like a current of a river. If you wish to preserve the element of surprise, the wind should blow from the enemy position toward you so your scent is carried away from them.

Conceal the size of your force

The number of cats in your battle patrols can be hidden to confuse the enemy from a distance. Cats packed tightly together will appear as a small attacking force, encouraging the enemy to be over confidant and make poor strategic decisions. Alternatively, is cats are spread out in signal file, they will look like a solid border of warriors, which will seem impenetrable to an advancing enemy.

Attack from both ends of the Enemy first

If both ends of the enemy line are defeated, the cats in the center of the line will have to fight the two fronts. Even if they are outnumbered, the will be out flanked, vulnerable, and in disarray.

Keep fresh warriors in reserve

Always have adequate reserves of fresh, fit warriors behind the battle line. They will be able to replace injured warriors, launch a separate attack if the enemy tries to encircle your forces, or fend off a surprise enemy from the rear. If the battle is in your favor, finish it by sending your reserve warriors behind the enemy line to surround them and demand surrender.

Feigned retreat and ambush

A group of strong cats charges at the enemy, screeching, then turns and withdraws. Repeat this until the infuriated enemy finally breaks it's line and gives chase. Then the trap is sprung. Other warriors positioned in rabbit holes and other dips in the ground-out of enemy eyes line- attack as soon as your opponents have gone past. The enemy will be forced to stop and turn around to fight the unexpected threat, as they do the retreating cats must turn and charge back at them with full speed. The enemy is caught between two bodies of attacking cats and will quickly surrender.

Water Combat - -

Double-Front-Paw

Splashes water into the face of the enemy.

Underwater Leg Sweep (Front of Hind)

The opponent will not see it coming under the water so won’t have a chance to brace himself before losing his balance.

Push-Down and Release

Almost all non-XeoClan cats panic if they are submerged, while XeoClan cats know how to hold their breath underwater. This move can be used to secure a decisive victory, because it’s most likely to make the opponent surrender.

Underwater Clinch

Uses warrior’s weight to hold the opponent below the surface, with a firm grip that enables the warrior to bring his enemy spluttering back to the surface before forcing him under again.

Tail Splash

Temporarily blinds opponent by flicking water in his eyes.

Underwater Push-Off

Crouching and erupting out of the water into opponents, using surprise and impact to knock him off balance.

Sandpaw Splash

Using noise of water splashed at a distance to create a decoy, leaving opportunity for a surprise attack.

Above-Ground Combat - -

The Sky-Crusher

Landing with all four feet on top of an opponent, flattening him like a leaf.

The Flick-Over

Landing with front paws outstretched to sweep the opponent off his feet and roll him onto his back.

The Kick

Kicking down hard as the warrior nears the ground, then using momentum from landing to spring away before the opponent can retaliate.

The Slice

Dropping down with claws unsheathed for maximum injury.

The Branch Swing

Holding on to the branch with front claws and swinging hind legs into the opponent’s face.

The Reverse Branch Swing

Holding on to the branch with back claws and striking with front legs through the swing.

The Trunk Swing

Sliding down the trunk and springing off at head height, using hind legs to push off and clear opponents. (Good if tree is surrounded.)

The Reverse Climb

Climbing backward up the trunk as the opponent advances to gain advantage of height; often followed by Trunk Swing.

Surprised? - -

Move quietly and communicate using tail-signals. Cracking twigs, startling birds, and rustling bracken will tell the enemy exactly where you are.

Keep downwind of the trespassers so that your scent doesn’t give you away.

Look for freshly broken twigs, overturned leaves on the forest floor, remains of prey, or a clump of fur caught on a bramble. Any animal that moves through the forest leaves behind signs that it’s passed-and signs like this could lead you straight to the invaders.

Keep your mouth open to search for unfamiliar scents. Be careful: If there is scent when there is no breeze to carry it through the forest, it could mean that your enemy is very close by.

Light-colored pelts are easily seen against brown and green foliage, so stay in the thickest cover. Keep low-the enemy will be looking for movement at normal head height, not close to the ground.

Never miss an opportunity to perfect your tracking ability. In the nursery, kits sneak up on their mothers and pounce with their moss-soft paws. Apprentices leap out on one another from behind bushes and tree stumps. These are more than just games. One day, these skills could save your life and defend your Clan.
