Hello lovelies! This is where you'll find all the Duskpool-related connections ^^ Either through older litter adopts, past connections, or someone to consider if wanting to be part of a pre-existing family for your character of any age (which will not be added as a tab, but feel free to pop into my discord channel, blues-brewcraft to plot sillies). Most of these adopts will be first comes, first serve unless stated otherwise, but please wait until I've favored your post before running full steam ahead.

All that I ask is to include the basics! And if you go above and beyond I am gripping you affectionately!! The only actual requirement I have is 2-3 posts per month, if possible! I know some clans are more active than others, so that may not always be possible ^^ But I will specify with each adopt about activity requirement.

  • TRIGGER WARNING
    please be cautious as there are mentions of dog fighting and death in non-graphic detail!

    When Sakura came into the mix, not as unlucky as the rest of 'em. Their life started behind a chained fence blockin' the outside world from their prison. She was warmth and light when his world was nothin' but cold and dark.

    Together, they carved a little peace. A litter of three. Their lives ahead of 'em, no longer trapped. But fate's got a cruel habit of tearin' good things apart when Sakura birthed their second litter, only a few hours old. Dogs came. Screamin' and snarlin'. They'd been cornered in an alleyway, their oldest litter tucked against him while Sakura held onto their three youngest. He'd been pinned beneath its weight. His body thrashing to escape, watchin' as they tore Sakura and his three newborn daughters to ribbons.

    Barely escapin', Duskpool raised their oldest litter. He was holdin' on by a thin rope. He couldn't give up now. Not when he had to protect 'em. And so he pushed past the heartache and guilt trappin' him in a vice-like grip.

    Things had been alright. It was when the three were on the cusp of apprenticeship that stray dogs appeared. With a heavy heart, Duskpool would face them one last time before leadin' the dogs away so that they could escape. He never saw 'em again.

    He thought they'd died that day.

    A little piece of him died that day, too.

    i This will be first comes, first serve considering there isn't a time limit for this adopt!
    ii They are currently 63 moons as of July.
    iii 2-3 posts per month, if possible!
    iv Please include the basics: Name, Appearance, Brief Persona, etc.
    vi Genetics are coming, but otherwise free-for-all! Will provide the parents' genetics, but go wild!
    vii This is not limited to one clan! They can be part of whichever clan you'd like, considering Duskpool has not seen them for quite some time ^^

    [ a silly sidenote if they are from another clan, the angsty possibility of finding each other during a battle / border skirmish ^^ ]

    ii Here are tibbits about Sakura who remains composed, but indulgent when it comes to her family, stubborn enough to clash with Duskpool, yet naturally elegant/quiet. She isn't someone who needs to be loud or dramatic to make people turn and listen.
    iii Part of this family tree!

Of course, if you'd like Duskpool to name them specifically, let me know! I can provide a personalized list of names ^^ Their warrior name is up to you to decide!

    watchin' cats be torn apart. duskpool learned early on what it was like to take a life. havin' been takin' in by the current leader, duskpool, mercy killed dozens, too broken to keep breathin'. he couldn't stand to see 'em suffer, knowin' help wasn't comin'. every drop of blood stained his paws crimson. his ghosts growin' and the vultures screamed with glee. he had to protect his little brothers. even if he didn't make it out alive. he had too.

    and somehow, duskpool ain't ever asked to lead, but when their so-called leader, who'd taken him under his wing—the closest thing he had to a father-figure, turned tail and ran to save his worthless hide. it was duskpool they looked to for guidance, bloodied, battered, and barely graspin' sanity's edge. but, somehow, the wooly obsidian led 'em despite death clawin' at their hides just waintin' for one to slip through the cracks. and death was ruthless. it tore and took, and slaughtered 'em with bared teeth and rancid breath. some blamed him. callin' him the phantom reaper. namin' him death's right-hand. mercy kill after mercy kill. well, those who survived the initial attack. some died quickly.

    I First comes, first serve! Just fill out a basic form with the included: Name, Appearance, Brief Persona, etc. Once I've reacted to your post, you're good to go ^^
    ii Can be from any of the clans! There is no limit! Can be kittypets, rogues, loners, etc. They do not have to be part of SkyClan, but all I ask is if they are, they must be recent or currently joining.
    iii No set activity requirement!

    These guys would be part of the dog-fighting circuit as bait animals in the lower region of the city where SkyClan somewhat originated from. Now, genetics and names are entirely up to you to decide!

    These guys would've been 60+ but I think we can swing late 50s, as well. Duskpool is currently 83 as of July, and roughly 25 when he escaped with his first mate, Sakura. Of course, if you'd like to be part of this plot, but want to roleplay a younger babe, I am a-okay with one or both of their parents having connections with Duskpool and having litters later on. If you want to plot specifics, don't hesitate to bug me in my channel, #blues-brewcraft

    They can have whatever option of him! Whether that is idolizing him, resenting him for the mercy kills, etc. It is all up to you! Can even be connected through adoptive means, as well ^^

applying for the apprentice aged litter <3​


ALMONDPAW skyclan apprentice

boundless energy, boundless joy, nothing gets in the way of her happiness! always peppy, cheerful and kind, almondpaw's positivity is a constant until... its not. being so excited, so boisterous, means that at some points in time, she comes off as callous and unaware of those around her.

  • ALMONDKIT, ALMONDPAW
    ↳ named by honeycombsplash
    ʚɞ skyclan apprentice
    ʚɞ cis female, she/her
    ʚɞ bisexual, not interested nor looking
    ʚɞ 06 moons
    ʚɞ toyhouse, playlist, pinterest
  • almondpaw is... small, to put it lightly. when fully grown, she will hardly reach average sized skyclanners necks, more fluff than anything... and boy, is she fluffy! though her fur is almost always wind-blown, found with various forest litter (leaves and sticks) stuck within, it's soft and velveteen to the touch. she somewhat has a mane that puffs up around her neck, but its hardly even noticeable with how wild her fur is.

    her base coat is a mess of chocolate blends and light cream, kind of like a latte macchiato. her most notable spots of chocolate are the freckles going up her nose and the few freckles that dot the rest of her body. white shades take over her chest fur and her stomach.

    ↳ genetically a LH chocolate tortie smoke w/ low white | smells like almond & coconut, weirdly - would like if she was born a runt, if possible :-)
  • excitable ʚɞ loyal ʚɞ oblivious
    brash ʚɞ doesn't know when to let things go ʚɞ easily upset

    pearl is exactly the epitome of sunshine, all smiles, all kindness, even when the situation doesn't call for it. she has an accidental knack to potentially piss others off with her endless optimism, and quite frankly likes getting up to kitten-like mischief, not really ready to grow out of the kitten stage just yet. however, despite everything, almond is a hardworker and more often than not does things shes told without (much) complaint; she has wishy-washy tendencies, often committing to one thing before abandoning it entirely and moving on to the next. seems like her poor mentor will have a run for their money...

    it is just as easy to earn her ire as it is her kindness; almond takes certain things as personal slights against herself... however, she is a ride or die for her friends, extremely loyal to them to the point of sticking up for them when she knows they're wrong... shes almost attached to her friends in an almost unhealthy manner.

    * planning on eventually buying her a power!! torn between lie detection & emotion sensing lol

    ★ genetics → longhaired black with low white, part main coon
    ★ smells like → sounds like
    ★ aesthetic board → toyhouse/ref
  • ★ traits → He is typically a very quiet who prefers it to keep to himself. It's difficult for him to connect emotionally with others and he has trouble showing his feelings. Mainly because he is afraid to lose someone he cares deeply about again. If someone is importing to him, he will be very protective of them and will want to shield them from anything bad. He tends to be cold and push others away, though he is actually quite loyal. He just doesn't want to let others too close in case he loses them. What others often perceive as ruthlessness is actually the acceptance that the world usually isn't a nice place and that there are certain things that need to be done. If he doesn't do them, who else will? It doesn't mean that he enjoys fighting or killing. In fact he hates it and has grown quite tired of it. He much prefers peace, quiet and order. But sometimes these are necessary and he knows that. He tends to have a very cynical view of the world and a pessimistic outlook. Despite this he is actually quite thoughtful. He is very honest and tends to be direct. He also is intelligent and tactical.

    HISTORY Batgloom was born as a kittypet, though he doesn't have much memories of his first home, his parents or his littermates. He had been dumped near the dogfighting circuit when he was barely weaned. One of the twolegs working there found him and decided he might make good bait one day. The first cat he bonded with at the dogfighting circuit was a tom around his age named Smokey. They quickly became best friends and considered each other as brothers. They both were together in the ring for their first fight. Smokey didn't survive the fight and Batgloom still feels guilty about not saving his brother. There were a few cats he considered his friends after him, but no one was as close as Smokey. He grew to respect and admire Duskpool. The older Tom was doing things he considered as necessary that no one else seemed to want to do. After Duskpool escaped, he had done some mercy killings as well, some he even considered as friends. He may feel bad about it, but ultimately he believes he has done the right thing. A quick, painless death is better than a long, painful suffering. Duskpool is the one who inspired him to want to escape too. He managed it a few moons after Duskpool did with a medium sized group of cats. He decided to rename himself into Bat after he escaped. Amongst them was Shiveringsong, a tom he had been crushing on for a while now. The group dwindled in numbers until only Shiversong and him were left. Some succumbed to illness or injuries and some left. Eventually he and Shiversong stumbled upon the shipyard cats. They decided to join them and followed them when they went to form Riverclan. It took both toms a while to admit their feelings for each other as both were afraid to loose the other. After they did, they quickly became mates.
