{$title} mentions of death and minor gore
hello lovelies! this is where you'll find duskpool-related connections through older litter adopts, past connections, or something to consider if wanting to be part of a pre-existing family for your character (and if so, feel free to plop a post below with whatever you had in mind and i will reach out to you through discord) ^^ most of these adopts will not be first come first serve unless stated otherwise, please wait until i've given up the thumbs up before running full steam ahead. all that i ask is that you include the basics listed out and if you go above and beyond i am gripping you affectionately. the only requirement i have is 2-3 posts a month, if possible! i know some clans are more active than others, so that will factor into the activity requirement. but i will specifity with each adopt that's posted since these are just general rules to follow!

𝖳𝖧𝖤𝖨𝖱 𝖫𝖮𝖵𝖤 𝖲𝖳𝖮𝖱𝖸When 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. With the three on the cusp of apprenticehood is when 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. A little piece of him died that day, too.

ii sakura remains composed, but indulgent when it comes to her family, stubborn enough to clash with duskpool, but naturally elegant/quiet. she isn't someone who needs to be loud or dramatic to make people turn and listen.

𝖳𝖧𝖤 𝖲𝖳𝖮𝖱𝖸watchin' 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.
𝖲𝖯𝖤𝖢𝖨𝖥𝖨𝖢 𝖱𝖴𝖫𝖤𝖲i these are first comes, first serves! just fill out a basic application (name, appearance, brief persona, etc) and once i've reacted to your post, you are free to roleplay them!
ii these guys can be in any of the five clans, become kittypets/rogues/loners, part of a group, etc! they do not have to be part of skyclan! but if they are, they must be recent or current joiners.
iii there is no set activity requirement!
𝖠𝖣𝖣𝖨𝖳𝖨𝖮𝖭𝖠𝖫 𝖥𝖠𝖢𝖳𝖲these guys all would've been part of the dog-fighting circuit as bait animals. now, genetics and names are entirely up to you! i may be picky with ages, considering duskpool is currently 83 as of july, and he was roughly 25 when he escaped the pits. but these guys can have whatever opinion you'd like toward duskpool! whether that's idolizing him still, resenting him for possibly mercy killing a family member or friend, etc.
if you are interested, but would like to roleplay a younger cat, i am willing to accept children whose parents are connected, telling them stories and allowing them to formulate their own opinions of duskpool.
