About the Roleplay
Of Felids and Fauna is an original Warrior Cats roleplay on Discord that takes place in a fictional setting vaguely in North America.
The plot follows three newly made clans, Foxclan, Otterclan, and Turtleclan, who used to be loners part of one big community before breaking off due to their differences. Foxclan settled in a dense, brush-filled field, Otterclan in the forest with a winding river near the cliffs, and Turtleclan in the murky swamp. Each of the leaders named themselves and their clan after the animals in their territories they respect most and think most reflects their core values. Foxclan values cunning and caution, Turtleclan values patience and strength, and Otterclan values community and intelligence.
It's only been around 38 moons since the founding of the clans. They didn’t have many rules at first, just a basic hierarchy structure and guidelines such as stay within your own territory, defend your clan, and to have Gatherings. As time went on, though, they created new rules in order to keep the cats within the clans safe.
Some rules were created in order to appease the gods that watched over the territories. For a while, many cats in Turtleclan over hunted and didn’t give respect to the prey that they killed. This made The Light very angry, causing him to unleash a wave of sickness on the clan. After a sacrifice of sorts to The Light and a change in the warrior code, this sickness stopped, and the clan continued on.
Current plot:
Lately, Cats in the clans are being mysteriously found dead or going missing and never returning. It started with Turtleclan, but the other clans brushed it off as the brutal territory they chose to live in. Until they spread to Foxclan, starting with Foxstar, and then to Otterclan.
When Foxstar was found dead, he had yet to pick a new deputy, leaving the clan feeling very uneasy.

The Pantheon
A group of gods that rule over the territories. Even loners know of their existence, and cats in the area have known of them for a very long time.
Moonrise
Moonrise manifests as a large mountain lion with a purple and blue pelt reminiscent of the night sky, complete with stars. She has purple eyes and stripes on her face.
She is acknowledged as the goddess of the moon, autumn and winter. She’s been around for as long as any of the cats can remember, though younger than some other gods. She's moody, which causes for some extreme weather at times.
Sunset
Sunset takes the form of a lynx, but with the dull browns and greys replaced with vibrant pinks, oranges, and yellows. She has purple eyes and stars in her pelt.
Sunset is known to the clan cats as the god of the sun, spring, and summer. She's similar in age to Moonrise, both of them coming to be around the same time. She's playful and friendly, though tough and fiercely protective.
The Light
Manifests as a white-tail deer constantly shedding the velvet off it's antlers.
Perhaps one of the oldest gods of the territories. His domain deals in life, most notably the not-so glamorous aspects. Disease, Plague, Fungus, Insects, and Decay are what they are most known for. One of the more powerful and dangerous gods. He is to be respected and feared. Possibly able to appear as other gods to trick you.
The Tide
Manifests as a glowing fisher, with light blue eyes, gills, and scales on her legs.
The Tide is the goddess of water and aquatic life within the territories, and is equally unpredictable. She is mischievous, but withdrawn. She’s known as a trickster, and it's not uncommon for her pranks to go awry and endanger the poor cat who she’d decided to toy with.
The Wraith
Manifests as a black bear with blank, white eyes. They're fuzzy around the edges, and seem to soak up any light near by. Usually accompanied by a raven with equally blank, glowing eyes.
One of the oldest gods, similarly to the Light, yet most reclusive god in the territories, the Wraith is an omen of death, and acts as the guide between the clan cats and Starclan. Not much of them is known, as they hardly appear to cats who live long enough to tell the tale.
The Beast
Manifests as a larger than usual grey wolf with red glowing eyes. They wear pelts sewn together over thair back and a necklace of small animal skulls.
Older than Sunset and Moonrise, but younger than the other three gods. Very reclusive, preferring to keep to themselves. They are known to be a fierce protector and guardian of the territories and the animals in it. They are rather stoic and mysterious, but quick to rage. The Beast is the patron god of the hunt and prey. They keep their pack of wolves at bay in return for offerings of prey and sorrel
