We are Scorchclan, and we will survive.
It didn't happen long ago. The flash of light in the sky, the panic of the Two-legs. The pain, the destruction of our home. There is nothing left. The Two-legs are gone. All that's left are the scattered bones of all who perished. It was a difficult day. A difficult day for us all. My name is not important, but my story echoes all others. We found each other. The only survivors of our great home. We banded together, knowing that in order to survive, we needed each other. We created this home for ourselves. We elected our leader, and we protect ourselves. We are Scorchclan, and we will survive.

About:
A few years ago, the apocalypse happened. All the humans and most of the animals died. There are a few things left on earth. And in an abandoned city, a few of the only survivors live, trying to survive in this harsh new world. This is Scorchclan. They have it difficult because most of the city is not safe. Building are partially destroyed and can fall apart at any moment, surviving birds will circle the skies looking for prey, even predators on the ground. There is little to no food. Also, the weather can change from a normal day to tornadoes or hail at random times. This is the world the cats live in now.
History:
Scorchclan was founded many moons ago by three young cats who decided they needed to help each other survive. Their names were Scar, Lilac, and Colby. These founders found a relatively safe home in an abandoned building where the door was knocked loose. They found other cats, convincing them to join. Little by little, the group grew, and soon the founders knew they needed a system to keep things under control. And so, Scorchclan came to be, named after the scorching light that destroyed their lives. Scar took lead, changing his name as to forget about his old life. Others followed him, and soon all remembrance of a time before the end was lost. Scar, now known as Deadstar, named Lilac, now Lilyspeck, his second. It didn't take long for the clan to find the way to survive. Unfortunately, it was long enough, and many of the cats lost their lives. The clan lives on, knowing what to do and what not to, and learning quickly in this harsh world.

Territory/Camp:Scorchclan survives in an abandoned city. The roads are cracked, the building falling over and unsafe. Some of the most important places are: >Dead Nest: A forbidden building. The roof is the home to some surviving hawks that pick off the cats that go near it. >Pond: The only safe drinking water found. It is a few blocks from the camp. >Hunting Ground: Two buildings that are home to mice. Found down the street from the camp. >Park: A fenced in park. Squirrels can be found there, but the water is unsafe. >Fallen: A forbidden building completely on it's side. It's dangerous, and so no cat is allowed past it. The camp is in a tall building. It is safer than most, but only the first three floors are home to the cats. Any higher is forbidden. >Outside: The entrance is a crooked door into the building. The dirtplace is outside, but is protected by a pile of rubble. >First floor: This is where the watches take place. There are always two cats on guard duty. >Second floor: In these rooms lie the apprentice den, the warrior den, and the elders den. Across from them are the nursery and med cat dens. The freshkill pile is also on this floor, and moss for bedding grows in the medicine cat den. >Third floor: This is the leader's den. On the wall opposite is where the leader marks a tally for each death as a remembrance for those cats. Dangers:Many dangers threaten the cats. >Eagles/Hawks: The main predator >Snakes: Bites can be poisonous and cause death. >Coyotes: Rare, but will attack the camp >Buildings: Many buildings are unstable. Going higher than the second floor in an unknown building is forbidden. >Weather: On patrols, a cat must always watch the sky. The weather can become deadly at any time. Chances of Survival:(Whatever is in parenthesis are the numbers needed to survive) Medicine Cat - 1:2 (Evens) Warrior - 1:4 (3) Apprentice - 1:3 (2,4) *Queen - 1:3 (3,5) Kit - 1:5 (3,6) Elder - 1:10 (10) Rouge/Loner - 1:6 (2) *Only during labor, otherwise it's the same as Warriors Plots:None Joining:Click

Welcome to Scorchclan!
Leader-
Crowstar || 78 moons || Male || *Raincaller* Crowstar is a black tom-cat, with a white muzzle. His front paws and chest are also white, along with his back legs. His eyes are an orange-yellow. His fur is smooth and short, and his tail is long. He is muscular, but is still sleek. Across his left eye is a scar, and talon marks down his back from a time an eagle nearly took him away. Crowstar is strict, and this new world had made him unforgiving. He looks to make the clan the best it can be, and refuses to back down. To him, his word is final, and he will have it no other way. He always tries to look out for everyone, though it is difficult for him. He is the last of the three founders, once known as Colby. Apprentice: N/A
Deputy-
None
Medicine Cat-
None
Medicine Cat Apprentice-
None
Warriors-
Fernfall || 33 moons || Female || *Raincaller* Fernfall is a brown tortoiseshell she-cat. With dark markings on her face, her body has slightly lighter colors. Her eyes are a pale green. She is bigger, her fur thick and fluffy. She has half a tail and a few chunks of her fur is missing, but otherwise the new environment has not affected her appearance. She is extremely protective though, and becomes aggressive if someone insults her, even if it was a joke. Otherwise she is a chatterbox, and always wants to know what is going on. Rabbitkit and Snowkit are her second litter. Her first didn't make it past apprenticeship, all four dying. She also had a third kit in her second litter, but she was too weak and couldn't survive the weather one night when it became cold. This had affected Fernfall, making her overly protective of her two remaining kits. Apprentice: None- currently a Queen
Tornwind || 27 moons || Male || *Raincaller* Tornwind is a gray tabby tom-cat, with a torn ear, no tail, and scars down his sides and legs. His left eye is yellow, while is right eye is a milky cream. He is blind in that eye. He is thin, but quick, even though he has a limp. Despite his appearance, Tornwind is a kind cat, and tries to befriend everyone. He prefers to talk things over instead of fighting, and will give his life in order to protect someone close. This was proven when he attacked a coyote that showed up in the city when it tried to get into the camp while he was on watch and the clan was asleep. Tornwind nearly died, and probably would have if not for the policy of two cats on watch. The other cat awoke the clan, and they drove the coyote away. Tornwind survived, and refuses to let his injuries lead to an early retirement. Apprentice: N/A
Apprentices-
Hollypaw || 9 moons || Female || *Raincaller* Hollypaw is a white she-cat with orange tabby stripes. Her eyes are blue. She has orange paws, and her fur is smooth. She has short legs and a bushy tail. Hollypaw is smart, and learns quickly. She is friendly and talkative, though she listens to those above her. She had learned quickly to listen and be careful, after nearly dying her first time on patrol when she ran ahead and was almost crushed when a piece of rubble fell on her. She did not receive any scars yet, as she has been lucky. Mentor: N/A
Lemurpaw || 9 moons || Male || *Raincaller* Lemurpaw is a pale gray tom-cat with white patches above his eyes and a black striped tail. His fur is smooth, and his tail is short. He has yellow eyes. Lemurpaw has a tendency to drift, and has a problem paying attention. He is a bit of a loner, and doesn't always listen when spoken to. He got his scar from a sharp piece of glass when a window shattered during a storm that forced him and his patrol into a building for shelter. He was lucky that it missed his eye. Mentor: N/A
Queens-
Fernfall -- Rabbitkit, Snowkit
Kits-
Rabbitkit || 4 moons || Male || *Raincaller* Rabbitkit is a small brown tom-cat with a white tail tip. His eyes are big and a deep brown color. While small, his fur is thick and very fluffy, making him seem bigger than he is. He is curious, and looks up to almost all of the warriors. He loves to talk, and tries to get into trouble wherever he can. He does not understand the harshness yet, and is innocent.
Snowkit || 4 moons || Female || *Raincaller* Snowkit is a white she-cat with gray specks. Her eyes are blue. Bigger than her brother, her fur is smooth and her body sleek. Her legs and tail are long. She is a little shy, and always afraid that she'll say something wrong. She is quick, and seems built to run. Her claws are sharp. She can't wait to leave though, and wants to join the apprentices. She is patient enough not to try anything rash, but always listens when it comes to stories.
Elders-
Jaggedsun || 102 moons || Male || *Raincaller* Jaggedsun is an extremely old tom-cat with dim, graying brown fur. He once had sharp yellow eyes, but now they have dimmed, and his sight isn't as good as it used to be. He is missing his back leg, which makes him tend to stay in his den at all times. He is grumpy, and yells at the warriors a lot, commenting on what they do rudely. He is kind to kits though, and loves the apprentices. He had once wanted kits of his own, but never did. He refuses to talk about his history, so no one really knows about him. He was a loner and was one of the first to join the clan when it was created, and so knows Crowstar very well.
Loners/Rouges-
Bandit || 26 moons || Female || *Raincaller* Bandit is a colorful calico she-cat. She has muscle, but looks more lithe. She has black markings over her eyes, which looks like a mask. Her tail is fluffed, and her eyes are a pale yellow-green. She has a single scar down the side of her neck from a hawk that happened to spot her. As for not having more, Bandit is very observant. She is tricky and sly, but curiosity gets the better of her a lot. She likes to be alone, but also doesn't as she loves to talk. However, she knows how to become silent, and can seem to become invisible, going unnoticed. She uses her abilities as an advantage, sometimes stealing from others. She doesn't mention her history, and will go silent when it is brought up. Her mother and father had saved her, but died in the process when she was a kit and was attacked by a raccoon. She had a brother and sister, their names Pod and Runt, but Pod had drank unsafe water and Runt had died of an infection. Bandit alone had survived, and fights to keep herself that way.
