RIVERCLAN MCA INTEREST CHECK
xx
STATUS: OPEN

This form is going to be open for several months as Jinglemoon still needs time to consider taking on another apprentice after the disappearance of his last one and with leaf-bare arriving I'd like to take time to gauge interest! With no set due date yet there'll be lots of time to interact with cats who show interest in starclan and in medicine so he can get a good idea of who might be a good pick (or picks once he's ready to try teaching an apprentice again.

EXPECTATIONS

Please ensure you read the High Position Expectations & Activity Requirements section located HERE in the Clan Rank Guide!
Though apprentices tend to be around the 6 moons mark, Jinglemoon would not mind training a cat older than that or even older than him as long as they are willing to learn and listen, and show an active interest. He may also be open to more than 1 apprentice (A second being picked may be at a later date than this one being picked)
Please keep in mind though that he would not apprentice any cat younger than 6 moons (If your cat currently is younger and you'd like to apply, feel free! As there will be plenty of time before they're chosen)
While any apprentice of his doesn't have to strictly believe in starclan, spirits, etc, and some challenging of beliefs could be fun plot potential, he does expect some level of open mind-ness to it! Though refusal to believe is not a strict no either.
There is currently no end date for this planned to give me time to really think and choose on applicant/s! But I will try and keep it within a few months into the new year.​


APPLY FORM

This is just a basic interest check so the form below is pretty straight forward! I'd like to get a better idea for your characters both IC and OOCly through threads and discussion but this will help give me the basics to start with!

This is you consenting to being chosen later when I do decide, so please remember to update/delete your form if you change your mind before this point!

Code:
[b]Character:[/b] (Name + Account tag)
[b]Moons:[/b] (How old is your character? Please list current age here!)
[b]Belief:[/b] (Do they believe in StarClan/Spirits? Feel free to explain why or why not, and if they have an open mind! 
[b]Other notes:[/b] {Anything else you might want to include :3 )

Reactions: Galerunner
Character: Orcapaw @Orcapaw
Moons: six moons! (Will be 7 Dec 10)
Belief: Orcapaw is a curious and inquisitive molly. While she has not experienced any semblance of spirits, she would be open to the experience. Her family has often talked of "legacy" and those who lived before watching over her, giving a small window for the molly to be open to spirituality and asking "questions" regarding spirits and life.
Other notes: I could see Orca being a super inquisitive little thing. She's a fairly open book at the moment! My minor plans for her character were "loud and excitable". She has not officially been introduced IC and I could mold a potential backstory for her based on signs and symbols if needed!

I could see her becoming very invested in Starclan and Spirits while maintaining a positive outlook on clan life and her clanmates.

I do think she could be a fun little blabbermouth for Jingle and be way WAY too excited and into everything regarding Medicine Cat stuff. (Even the bloody stuff... She thinks it's really cool)
 
Character: Bravekit @Bravekit
Moons: 1 moon
Belief: as a baby he doesn't have much belief in anything rn but he would definitely be openminded! his parents were not part of a clan so I imagine he will be raised without a strong understanding of Starclan specifically. he does love to learn new things, though, and will probably have a million questions!
Other notes: I imagine he'll pester Jingle a lot even if he doesn't get picked haha he hates the fact that there is knowledge out there that he does not yet possess!! he really just wants to learn everything he can, it's what motivates him, so even as a potential medcat he would want to learn some warrior techniques, though actual fighting makes him squeamish :(
 
Character: @howlingkit
Moons: 3 moons, born september 2nd 2025
Belief: howlingkit believes in whatever her superiors want her to believe. she's extremely gullible and easily persuaded, trusting those around her implicitly and instantly. as thus she has no immediate reason to believe starclan is anything other than an omnipotent force to obey. she doesn't serve curiosity and instead serves because she feels she is obligated to. she can be taught that starclan is a benevolent place for spirits to rest but ultimately she understands it to be a powerful, inoffensible entity of sorts.
Other notes: notes i've been cooking that i'm gonna preen and scrape over the next forever >>
- god what a fucking pushover. was named to get a backbone and be brave but ultimately recedes into the safety and comfort of herbs and treatments. has her safe people + clan but cannot stand up to anyone. if someone refuses care, she cannot force them by any means to accept it
- constantly wants a companion nearby. ideally would be picked before normal training starts for her so she wouldnt necessarily get battle training (unless jinglemoon takes the time to do such) and would prefer to have someone at the ready to Save her. perhaps not a damsel in distress but she is often in distress, and she is, in effect, a damsel
- - would be so sick to have a companion mca. cmon cmon pick 2 ppl cmon
- heightened paranoia after literally any misgiving. she equates white lies with massive betrayals. in the future its a struggle alone to get on a path of understanding and trust and once its cracked its broken to smithereens and she doesnt have the tools to repair it. she'd much rather shelter and hide.

- - over all hits the anxious and uncertain mc/a type but to a detrimental pov. would eventually lose faith in her own home and struggle healing anyone who isnt outright exaggeratedly nice to her. would become a homebody and need to send others to get her herbs and struggle to get them on her own

- DO NOT woobify her anxieties. theyre detrimental. theyre damaging. if YOU want a competent medicine cat YOU have to put in the work to stop her from crumpling. after a certain point if characters keep playing the pity game she will not have a shot at "recovery" and will only spiral. its on YOU the viewer to train your local mca to not be a doormat
- DO NOT threaten her!!!! she shuts down!!!! youre bleeding out and shes panicking!!!!! but youve hurt her once what if you hurt her again and somehow suddenly inaction is the proper path
- ultimately it seems like she is an incomprehensible lost cause, as efforts to save her are stonewalled and received painfully, but letting her live in her bubble allows her to deteriorate too. damn.
