Open RC RIVERCLAN SHP "AUDITION"

[RiverClan]

Hello and welcome to RiverClan's semi-high position auditions thread! This thread takes the place of an "s/HP consent form", as we'd like to keep rolling auditions available as plots evolve and activity shifts. Life guards work in collaboration with Riverclan's leader and deputy to provide strategic guidance, define standards (how the clan should interact with others and those within their ranks), hold one another accountable, and resolve conflict.

expectations

Pikestar is looking for capable warriors to add to his council. Cats who have previously mentored at least one apprentice to warriorhood or are in the process of training one are going to be looked upon more favorably than cats who have not. That does not mean cats who are not currently mentoring an apprentice will not be considered (you may still apply if you haven't had an apprentice yet!).

We are looking for characters that keep up with the flow of the clan, with lots of great OOC activity as well! We want to see you in the Discord, whether it's casually interacting and offering your character for little plots as well as bigger ones or directing others to resources (guides/news/census). It's good to be seen in everyday clan life beyond just overarching story arcs.

Life Guards are expected to encourage activity by being open, friendly, and consistent throughout their tenure of the council. They will also be expected to host patrols, assign every-day tasks, and hold smaller events. For a more detailed explanation for what this role requires please refer to the sites Clan Ranks & Rules page!

to apply...

We don't expect the form to be much. Feel free to write as much as you like, but at the minimum please include:

Name:
Length of term wanted (short/long/plot-relevant):
IC reason why Pikestar might pick your character:
Any fun plots you might want to do:

Ultimately, this "audition" gives our team the permission to view your character as a viable option to pick for the council, as we do not want to force anybody in a position they would not be comfortable with holding for one reason or another. Please let one of the RiverClan HP team know if you have any questions regarding this process.

Name: willowburn
Length of term wanted: preferably long but open to plot-relevant
IC reasons: willowburn has always been a very caring cat, looking after her niblings, as well as the younger cats in the shipyard, and thus has shown she cares about the safety of those who might not be able to speak for themselves. she is a more soothing voice of reason within the clan, although while she is an advocate for negotiation, she is not hesitant to fight for her clan. she has proven herself to be dependable in stressful situations. she is prone to emotion when dealing with personal situations, but it is something she has continued to work on, and something that could provide a fun plot. she is never fearful to speak up in disagreement and holds her clan in high regard. she would be a just and loyal council member, and would be mainly concerned with making sure things are moral and doing the right thing. willowburn is also very invested in the young life of riverclan. due to her time in the nursery and generally caring disposition, she takes a great interest in keeping up with the training of apprentices and the learning of kits. she has proven herself to be a trustworthy warrior and friend of pikestar. she appreciates his cheerful nature and has often been the cooler head to his optimism. ultimately, she trusts him with her life, and knows he trusts her with his own. her loyalty is as strong as steel, unwavering, but she is also willing and able to question decisions, and find logic in the council's choices.
OOC thoughts: i am in the process of returning to full activity with willow, and would love for her name to be out there for the future! i have experience with council duties, as well as hp duties on other sites. i am excited for her to be consitered!
Any fun plots you might want to do: interested in her exploring her love for teaching, as she's taken on two apprentices. possibly a task given to her as a sort of overseer of training?​

Name: WAVESONG
Length of term wanted (short/long/plot-relevant): Very much open to long term, but totally here too for plot relevant!
IC reason why Pikestar might pick your character: 1. Deep loyalty and dedication to RiverClan. Wavesong's love for her Clan runs deeper than the river itself. She's proven time and time again that she'll put RiverClan's wellbeing before her own.
2. A Natural mentor and nurturer. Even before her time in the nursery, Wavesong has shown herself to be a patient, wise, and compassionate teacher. She helped mentor Galepaw before her pregnancy, and her involvement with apprentices and kits alike shows her steady ability to guide.
3. A voice of empathy and balance. Wavesong listens. She's not one to leap to conclusions or act on impulse, instead, she considers all sides before speaking, and when she does, it's with thoughtfulness and care.
4. Experience Weathering Loss and Hardship. Having faced great personal loss, the situation of her mate, the loss of kits, the uncertainty of those she's loved — Wavesong has proven her resilience. Rather than let grief consume her, she's turned that pain into strength and compassion
5. A strong connection to the river and StarClan. Wavesong carries the river in her very being, gentle but unyielding, capable of healing or of carving new paths. Her spiritual awareness, her respect for the waters and for StarClan's will, give her insights that balance the practical with the spiritual.
6. Respected among her clanmates. Wavesong is well-liked and trusted. Her peers often turn to her for comfort or counsel, and younger cats look up to her as a model of what it means to be both kind and capable.
7. Still active and dedicated despite motherhood. Even as a queen and mother of six, she's never allowed herself to grow distant from her duties. She returns to patrols, helps organize efforts, and contributes to the Clan's strength in any way she can.
8. Calm in crisis, steady in storms. When others panic, Wavesong remains composed. She's shown time and again that she can handle emergencies.
Any fun plots you might want to do: I am EMPTY rn but I wave this girl around, I want her to be more active in her own clan like I intended for her to be! She also has aletheia, maybe can work on a nice lil plot with that who knows?
