hi day four once again no art oops! soon. -- i dont? actually know how to sum up this update. it has some new ideas we're just going to! try out -- first and foremost as a reminder you can dreamvisit with: - your parents, your grandparents, - your siblings - your kits, your grandchildren while this still may be changed later the goal is for cats to become. faded and irrelevant overtime thats how ghosts work in the books, and i think it fits a roleplay of changing time and generation for ghosts to become. irrelevant. over time NOW. i DO want to add more things for these so-called "irrelevant" ghosts to be relevant in the way that they're relevant to OTHER ghosts. i want to encourage ghost interaction over ghost - living interaction. if you don't having living family, you'll have to work with OTHER ghosts to interact with the living, etc. with that being (briefly) said (i'll have to go over this project a bit later, perhaps, with more clarification on my goals with ghosts, but i'm short on time) -- i am introducing new things for every ghost type -- SHADES - i am getting rid of the outerlands. i think they're,, boring, confusing, and just trying too hard to be different from the books. NOW shades will be more like cats like falling leaves from the books where they wander the real world they can be seen and talk to cats with the same criteria as cats you can dreamvisit with (i.e. immediate family) i think this is. just a lot more interesting for everyone involved ANYWAYS however! shades are losing their capability to free-wander the dark forest and starclan shades can still join starclan but cannot return to life as a shade likewise, shades can be brought to dark forest by the appropriate starclan role. -- df hi. the df. was absolutely putting me in filter jail. starclan is putting my in filter jail. this entire project hates me. i managed to get starclan to work. but there is NO possibility i can get the df running right now, ive literally removed every paragraph one by one to try to isolate the issue but idk if scratch changed how filtering works over the past month but it's become so much harder and glitchier to identify what's setting off the filter can scratch please add a qol feature to highlight what is setting off the filter i'd sell my soul if i had one ANYWAYS. the dark forest section has been placed on the notes inside the project and ill figure it out once i get home ive been fighting with it for an HOUR.
-- STARCLAN - StarClan is an organized, highly powerful identity, but it has nothing to seemingly do. Thus, the introduction of roles. While it is very well-respected to not have a role and just enjoy your time in paradise, for cats who would like something to do and a "purpose" as a ghost, this is welcome. While these are "jobs" kits/apprentices may take roles after being a ghost for 5 weeks. these are just simply inrp roles, there aren't really any mechanics in play (besides judge), so you'll have to make your own fun with them. it is recommended to choose a role before registering, but you're able to just put no role and change it later. however, once you choose a role, you can't change it (MOSTLY for the sake of the volunteers and to prevent abuse but also can be a little bit interesting inlore). NO ROLE [ no role ] WARDEN [ wardens are the guards of the Dark Forest, they ensure everything is in order, and when there is a problem, they ensure it is taken care of. they also sometimes spy on the Dark Forest cats, posing as an evil cat themselves for insider intel, to collect it and put it together as a faction to decide what to do. this is a very dangerous faction choice, as oftentimes Dark Forest cats will seek them out and hunt them, should they be found within the forest. ] JUDGE [ the starclan cats that do research on incoming cats and decide whether they are welcome into starclan, cast out to be a shade, or exiled to the dark forest. exiling to a shade is very rare. judges are not allowed to have any living family (inlaw stuff doesnt count) to prevent bias and unfair judgement. judges may also declare a starclan cat needing to be rejudged, and sentence them to the dark forest. ] Judgement Project: COURIER [ peaceful messengers that transport messages from ghosts from different allegiances, i.e. a shade to a starclan cat, etc. this can be quite dangerous in the dark forest, however, as they are sometimes confused with wardens and attacked. ] REDEEMER [ the last dark forest role, these cats work with regretful dark forest cats to attempt to have them reach a redemption and allowed to be rejudged and allowed into starclan or life as a shade. they typically only work with 1-3 dark forest cats at a time, but can work with more. they usually are also in heavy contact with victims and other cats involved in the case. they can request a judge to rejudge them and allow them outside of the dark forest. while some dark forest cats seek them out, don't mind them, etc. others will actively hunt them. ] PEACEMAKER [ these are cats that resolve in-starclan disputes and try to overall ensure everyone has a relaxing afterlife. they take it upon themselves to smooth over lifetime grudges and allow everyone to move on and make amends. ] CARETAKER [ caretakes take care of new kits or apprentices into starclan. they stay with kits until either their parents arrive, or they've been in starclan long enough that they know their way around, depending on the kit and caretaker's comfort level. likewise, with apprentices, they can finish their training if they wish. once training is completed, an apprentice may keep their apprentice name, choose a warrior name, or have the caretaker choose one. there is no exact requirement for this, just whenever you both agree inrp that training is complete. ] [ kit caretakers may be of any age, though apprentice caretakers should have completed their warrior training, whether in life or in the afterlife. ] kits/apprentices are NOT required to have a caretaker, it is only if they choose to. TRACKER [ these cats go out into the living realm to hunt shades who are dodging judgement, particularly shades who deserve to be dark forest cats to bring them to the prison they deserve. ] SEER [ while all starclan cats are capable of giving prophecies, it is a seers job to be specifically attuned and specialized towards it. they formulate prophecies and future insights to alert the clans of. like judges, to prevent biases they cannot have any living family members, nor can be in active contact with any living cat. this means that once a prophecy is formulated, they have to get involved with others to have it communicated to the living world. ] (since you cant *actually* see the future, you'll have to plan things oorp for this sorta thing! not all prophecies will be correct, so you have to get in touch with others about their oorp future plans, and see what you can do!) (prophecies made by your character can't be about your character or another character of yours pls try to make it fun for EVERYONE)
