RULES​

There will be 3 litter slots (This may be increased to 4 if there is enough interest for the litter)
Slots are not FCFS, though I won't be insanely picky, just so more folks can have a chance to apply first before I pick.
Kits will be timeskipped to 1 moon, just before the selection of plushies as is tradition in the Rustclaws.
Disabilities and birth defects are permitted, but they must be researched and accurately prortrayed (see: albinism is available in this litter, for example)
Kits aren't required to remain in the Rustclaws (it is preferred though); plots and ideas like the such would be nice to know first!!

GENETICS​

Kits can be black, blue, chocolate or lilac, red or cream
Kits can be solid, or tabby
Kits can be albino
Kits can be torties
Kits can be (colour- )silver tabby or smoke
Tabbies will be ticked, (silver) shaded, or mackerel
Kits can be points
Kits will have no white
Kits can have any length of hair
Kits can have folded ears

THE STORY

Rachet has long been a dedicated scrap collector of the Rustclaws, but she found herself longing for connection, which she found in a loner, known as Mallard. Though, later she found herself in a state of sickness and - after having confirmed with her brother, and Rustclaw surgeon, Socket - learned she was pregnant. Initally, Rachet was esctatic, having considered the idea for a long time.

She meets with her mate and offers for him to join the Rustclaws to raise their kittens together. But to her horror, he refuses and immediately insists they aren't his own and refuses anything to do with the litter. Even after begging, she is left alone to raise her kittens alone. But with the blessing of Nonna, she is assured the litter will be well loved in their home, even with a broken family.

RELATIONS AND NAMING GUIDELINES​

Rachet - Mother
Mallard - Father (NPC) (But if there would be any interest in playing him, he has a set design feel free to Hmu???)
Socket - Uncle (Tikki)
Wrench - Pibling (Poe)
Carat never named her toolbox sibling everyone boo /lhj

As Rachet will be raising these without her partner, names will strictly be in the realm of usual Rustclaw naming conventions, listed names are examples or suggestions, feel free to shoot me a message for questions or clarification for names:
Workshop items (Family tradition): Drill, (Hack)saw, Plier, Calliper, Shear, Chisel, Mallet
Sewing items: Bobbin, Thimble, Needle, Spool, Stitch, Button, Seam, Marker, Zipper, Scraps, Pipe cleaner (Piper for short /silly)

SLOT 1 - TBA
SLOT 2 - TBA
SLOT 3 - TBA​

uncle track! everyone should apply right MEOW

 

[shinyotachi's icon shinyotachi shinyotachi]

Name— Dart
NAME MEANING— Sewing term: a technique used to shape fabric, creating a three-dimensional form that conforms to the curves of the body.
GENDER— Cis Female
PRONOUNS— She/Her
ORIENTATION— Lesbian
GENETICS/APPEARANCE— Lilac Tabby with folded ears and purple eyes

Personality—
Friendly and amicable, but with a spiteful streak a mile wide, Dart is generally easy to get along with though on occasion her energy can be overwhelming. She's fairly observant of others, but whether or not she heeds said observations is entirely up to her current opinion of the cat in question and that can change by day. While not impossible, it's incredibly hard to regain your reputation with her if she believes that you've wronged her. Having a tendency for sticky paws, it would be wise for others to hide their valuables if one allows Dart into their space...

——— GENERAL ———
Scraps ‧ "???"

⤷ suggested litter name but also giving a hint at his personality/behavior ("scrap(s)" as a slang term for fight(s) which he loves to start)
⤷ trans male, he/him​

Future scrap collector/scavenger

——— APPEARANCE ———
a slender, shorthaired tortoiseshell tom ‧ ref (if this design doesn't work genetically i can change it!)

— smaller than your average cat, Scraps has both a short stature and a light, yet long-bodied build. his fur is mostly black, although it's splotched with patches of pale ginger throughout, forming a few distinct "rings" of ginger around his tail and legs. His eyes are a dark, rich coppery orange tone, standing out against his dark-but-monochrome face fur.​

⤷ sh black and red tortoiseshell ​

— no accessories​

——— PERSONALITY ———
ONE LINE SNAPSHOT

— Scraps would be, at least in his youth, an obnoxious pain in the ass. He's small, fast, and uses that to get himself out of the trouble that running his smart mouth inevitably gets him into. In all honesty, he probably has a bit of little man syndrome - but suggest it to his face and you'll find yourself the target of a creatively taunting string of insults. He tones this behavior down a little around his family, and seems to at least have respect for his mother and siblings... but most other cats get the full brunt of his defiance.​

— future plans/plots​

——— FUTURE PLANS/PLOT IDEAS ———

— definitely would like for him to mellow out a bit as he gets older, maybe once he gets a specialization to focus on he becomes more tolerable to interact with - he could also learn this the hard way when others who should train him simply don't want to because of his behavior. very "your actions have consequences so shape up" kinda arc in mind!​

Name: Winch
Gender: Cis Male
Genetics/Appearance: Bulky chocolate tom with deep yellow eyes
Other: Looks intimidating, but is a sweetheart. He has a really squeaky/high meow which does not fit his body type. He would be best described as a sensitive kit, and whether that is trained out of him or not will depend on rp!

plots

• 
  Mallet is aptly named. The largest kit of his litter, broad shoulders, big head, tremendous frame. His paws are massive and there is no doubt that he'll be a large tom when he grows up. He is a bit on the dim side, not the sharpest tool in the shed, as many would say. He's all brawn, no brain really --- but god is he good at smashing things. Do you really need to have any smarts to you when others can think for you, and you can just SMASH? While he is a rather large and imposing tom and... dim, he has a heart of gold, and adores his mother and siblings --- even if he cannot articulate this well.
  
  He is a tom of few words, knowing that actions speak louder than words and his PAWS can SMASH any problem he has much faster than he can speak.
  
  Kind of going for a Gonta from DR3/Hulk in the early avengers where he's all muscle and no articulation lmao.
  
• 
  Thoughts on Mother: Mallet loves his mommy. I think when he gets older he has this weird sense of duty that he wants to protect her from everything and gets very protective when others approach her. Especially strangers, he is very weary of those he doesn't know.
  
  Thoughts on Father: "Papa left, me smash if see him again. Make mama sad."
  
  Thoughts on siblings: Mallet ADORES his siblings, I feel like he is not as protective of them as their mama, but he would still absolutely destroy anyone that made them sad or broke their hearts. He is a very family oriented kitty.
  
• 
  - Siblings: I feel like it's possible that his siblings may get him to do tasks for them when they need a bit of brawn. They use their brains, he smashes stuff, win win. However, if any of his siblings have bad intentions he may just follow them from sheer naivity and trust in them.
  - Bodyguard: I think he's SO protective of his mom when he grows up that he basically shadows her, like a big scary dog. (Ratchet has now gained scary dog privilege).
  - Outsiders: I think poor baby is weary of outsiders because someone hurt him or led him astray in the past... open to plotting this.

BOBBIN [ ratchet x mallard ]

01 MONTHS [ ages every 00 ]

NON-BINARY [ they/it ]

RUSTCLAWS [ kit ]

INTELLIGENT / LOYAL / OPTIMISTIC / GENEROUS / TEMPERAMENTAL / AIMLESS / MORBID / TRUSTING / UNEMPATHETIC

✞ personality extra

• Odd and offputting, nocturnal in nature, Bobbin is a child ruled by aimlessness and apathy.​
• Bobbin is a temperamental child, prone to quick shifts in mood that may seem to come out of nowhere. In their own eyes they are entirely reasonable, but they are swift to transform from a talkative, cheerful kit to someone lost in thought, distant and unreachable, for seemingly no reason. Despite their tendency to be a chatterbox, they neither want nor seek attention, and tend to avoid it. The spotlight is not the place for them, and they know it; they tend to flee when a too-large crowd gathers around them, and they become visibly uncomfortable when too many cats press into their space. Still, they are a Rustclaw, and they know what is expected of them in the junkyard. They strive to prove themself, above anything else. They know that they are held back by their health issues, and fear falling behind the rest of their litter (and eventually, the rest of the cadets).
  
  They exhibit all the naïvety that is to be expected of a kit, openly trusting and willing to see the good in others even if unearned. Their optimism leads them to believe that everything will work out somehow, even when evidence strongly suggests otherwise. They are the type to follow orders blindly and take everything they are told at face value—they do not often question what they are told. In the same vein, they have no lofty goals, no desire to do anything heroic in their lifetime, and tend to wander through life at a casual pace. They show a desire to help others and support their clanmates, generous in sharing prey and other items. They are giving nearly to a fault, willing to sacrifice anything in order to aid a friend or clanmate in need. They are excessively loyal to their family, and wish only the best for their kin; sometimes, this is to their detriment, being easily swayed by what their family members say.
  
  They are nonchalant toward pain, and can come off as unempathetic or dismissive of the suffering of others. Still, they are a bit obsessive over the idea of death and the macabre; despite this, they are frightened by the idea of dying themself, and cannot fathom the idea of taking the life of another cat.​
• Their voice is typically flat and emotionless, even when upset or angry. Often, though, they speak so softly that it can be difficult to hear their whispered tone.
  
  They blink slowly and rarely when not in sunlight (squints in sunlight, or keeps their eyes closed).
  
  They walk with slow, dragging steps and a stilted, lurching gait. Stiff and awkward posture.​

A spindly albino kit with pale lavender eyes. TOYHOUSE

(lh albino masking cream masking lilac lynx point)

Bobbin is a long and thin feline, with twig-like limbs and a skeleton that seems eager to poke through their skin. Their ghostly, sunken features are punctuated by wide eyes, seemingly unblinking. Their eyes are stained a pale lavender but can appear either blue or pink depending on lighting. Occasionally, and usually when they are tired or under stress, their eyes seem to rotate back and forth, causing their vision to blur. Gently curled, dirt-stained ivory fur drapes curtainlike over a gangly, awkward frame. Their paws are large for their wiry limbs, and they can only hope to eventually grow into them someday. One of their brows will be broken by a small scar, caused by a roughhousing accident that will occur later in their kithood.

※ ·❆· ※ As an albino, Bobbin suffers from sunlight sensitivity, and is more easily sunburned than their non-albino clanmates. They have trouble seeing on sunny days, especially when there is snow on the ground, and they also suffer from a weakened immune system. They bruise and bleed easily, and are very susceptible to infections. They are prone to torsional nystagmus when stressed or fatigued, and experience blurred vision and vertigo during episodes. They are nearsighted, and have poor depth perception.​

… trivia

• ⁺‧₊˚ ཐི⋆♱⋆ཋྀ ˚₊‧⁺​
• ALT NAMES. Spool, Stitch, Seam.
  
  SKILLS. Due to their poor eyesight and sensitivity to the sun, Bobbin is typically skittish and unsure of themself in the daylight, but in the night they thrive. They are adept at stealth in spite of their gangly frame and moon-white pelt, and they have a keen eye when their perception is not affected by the sun. While their vision and overall health are poor, their memory and sense of hearing are keen.
  
  ALIGNMENT. True Neutral. Doesn't really pay attention to morality outside of their self-assigned role. Could be just as easily swayed to do good as to do evil. Their neutrality is not a balancing act but an outcome of total apathy.
  
  DND CLASS. Grave Cleric. Has an odd fascination with the forces surrounding death, and believes that those laid to rest deserve to do so peacefully. Resurrecting people is typically a huge no-no for them, though they seem to have an uncanny sense for when it is someone's "time". They take up the role of a gravekeeper, ensuring that the graveyard they watch over is kept in pristine condition, ensuring that each soul laid to rest gets the respect they deserve.
  
  POKEMON. Ghost/Normal team. Stufful, H-Zorua, Sableye, Varoom, Bunnelby, Greavard.

tracking curiously
ideas in spoiler until its pretty blegh

Spoiler: zipper

zipper - afab
soft hearted and weak, choosing a torn rat plush and taking significant care of it, like how her mom takes care of her. interested by everyone's roles, but scared of the thought of hurting others. plot point to growing bolder and more fierce. potentially regrets how soft she's been. will eventually become a field medic maybe??? we'll see !!
