Personal Plots


Not everyone can be heroes, but if you would like to spice things up a bit and add something more to your character's life, you've come to this right place!


 

Rules 
Effective from 2/4/16 onward.

- All characters are only allowed to purchase 1 personal plot per month, 
and a cat can only have 5 plots over the course of their life. 

Please make sure your plot, and plot ideas work with the current state of the clans.
Please refer to the current group events for more information~

If you are unsure about anything, please feel free to comment or send us a note!


 

Personal plots are listed by type. 
The price of these plots vary depending on their rarity, please refer to the list below for prices.


Kits & Relations:


A fling resulting in kits - 350cc per rper involved [Limit 1-2 per clan][Availability varies] 
 - These plots are limited, and one plot must be bought for each roleplayer- 
Both parents will have to do assignments before the birth of the kits, and can request alternate assignments if the parents do not wish to interact/raise the kits together. (More details upon request after kit rolls.) 
-Flings require at least one rp between the two and a good reason for the sudden choice, depending on the clan situation and current number these plots may be turned down, in such case no claw coins are deducted from either party. 

    Availability: See clan statistics for clans open to kits. 
        To avoid confusion, please comment below and send a note with a link to your comment for kit rolls.  

Adding a still born kit to a litter - 150cc per kit [Available]
This cost is only for adding a stillborn kit to the number of kits that you have rolled. You cannot add stillborns if you have reached the max amount of kits for that season. 

  Eg. Rolling 3 kits and wanting to have 3 live kits and one stillborn kit in the litter. 
          If you roll 3 kits and you want to have 2 live kits and one stillborn that would not require a personal plot. 


Losing a Litter - 250cc [Available]
Losing a litter is a traumatic experience, and would highly effect a cat so it would also be a personal plot. 
    This cost does not apply if you wish for the litter to lost due to one parent being removed from the group/going inactive.

Adopting a kit/Becoming step parents - 250cc per parent [Availability varies depending if there are kits without parents ]  
This only counts if your cat moved into the nursery to care for an orphaned kit, or if your queen takes a new kit into her litter. This goes for adults becoming a foster father or mother to another cat's kits. Simply acting as a parental figure / aunt-uncle who visits at intervals do not need to pay for this cost. 

    Eg. Squirrelflight letting the clan believe that she was the mother of her sister's kits
         Lizardstripe caring for the orphaned kits found by a patrol.

Adding new family members -250cc
 per rper involved [Available]
This applies to any family connection of two cats after they have been created. This means that these cats were not originally intended/created to be related and were not listed as family upon submission to the group. 

- These plots may be denied if the histories would not make sense - histories are not allowed to be changed to accommodate new cats.
- Cats can be family from different clans only if mentioned in the history that a cat is halfclan, or if their parents (one/both) left the clan.
- This only counts for existing characters becoming related. Creating adoptables, or characters in the history do not need to pay. 

  Eg.   Deciding your character(who is already in the group) and someone else's character (also in the group) to be kin of some sort.

Discovering family relations -250cc per rper involved [Available]
This includes any cats meeting 'lost' family members or finding out family relations that is not common knowledge for your character.
The full cost must be paid by all roleplayers finding out through this method.

- This only applies to characters finding out information that is not common knowledge for them to discover. If they are told by a willing family member (parent) members do not have to pay this cost.

  Eg.   Your parents have been keeping this secret from you and the rest of the clan:
          - Finding out you have a parent in another clan & being told by someone other than the parent who raised you. 
          - Overhearing a clanmate talk about your origin.
         - Discovering you have kin in another clan that you previously did not know about. 

Enemies, Predators & Injuries:


Dog/Rogue/Badger/Fox/Venomous snakes - 250 cc [Available]
These creatures are usually driven out of the territory as soon as they are sighted and are therefore rare to be seen. For this reason attacks by these to enemies count as personal plots. Please check to make sure that this makes sense with any of the current group plot, and to have this approved before rping these outside of canon events.  

- Roleplaying events that feature these creatures would not require a personal plot. 
Max. 2 of these predators can appear upon purchase of this plot. More than 2 (eg. a pack) would be considered a major issue for the clan, and would have to be imputed into a group/clan plot. 

Killing another cat - 800cc [Limit 3, depending on circumstances] 
Murder is a big deal, and always leaves behind evidence no matter how careful. Due to this killing another persons cat would require the cat who kills them to pay this personal plot, while the dead cat follows the normal 'joining starclan' assignments and pricing. Killings and attacks must be reported to the clan leaders. If the murderer is discovered please be prepared that your cat may be kicked out of the clan and be forced to become an NPC. 

Please note, fighting with another cat is not the same as cold blooded murder. Having a murderous intent is applicable to getting kicked out of the clan, but accidentally injuring or simply fighting with another cat will not. (Though your leader might still choose to punish you with extra duties regardless.) 

Traveling & Exploration:


Kits outside of camp -250cc 
[Availability varies] limited 3 per kit
Due to the issues of relations formed due to this method, this is now also considered a plot. With the purchase of this plot, kits can sneak out of camp and wander around the territory without supervision. Kits are NOT allowed to meet up with kits from other clans as that is too much of a coincidence, though they can be found by cats from a rival clan's patrol if necessary. Please note that a kit found sneaking out will be subjected to punishments from the queens or the leader. 

This does not include exploring outside of the camp under supervision, as queens or other adults are allowed to bring the kits out, under their own discretion. Permission of the kit's guardian/mother is required for other warriors to bring the kits out of camp. 

Venturing past the territories - 250cc [Limit 3 per character] 
This would mean going past your clan's territories into areas such as the barn, moonstone, wandering around twolegplace etc. These are acts that would get your cat punished (if found out) or at the very least questioning your cat's intentions and/or loyalty to the clan. If you are not sure if your cat has wandered far enough that it requires a plot, feel free to ask by commenting below~ 

Kits are not allowed to purchase this plot due to it being too far for a kit to realistically wander off to on their own. 


Lifestyle changes:


Delayed Ceremony - 250cc [Available] Limit 1 per cat
Occasionally, things happen which causes a warrior's ceremony to be delayed. Things such as serious injuries, sickness, failure to learn what is required etc. will all be taken into consideration. Please make sure you have a reason why your character's ceremonies will be delayed. Leaders have the ability to approve or deny depending on the current circumstances. 

Members who have purchased an injury based banned trait and wish to delay their ceremony because of it do not have to pay this cost. Cats who also have their ceremony delayed due to life disrupting event plots (Eg. the journey) also does not have to pay. 

Please note purchase of this plot does not count as passing an ACR check. This is simply for plot purposes. For more options, please ask on the assignment reminders journal. 

Changing clans - 800cc [Availability varies]
Changing clans must be approved by the leader of the clan you plan to join. Please note that it can be denied at any time if the circumstances does not fit with what is listed below. 
Please note that this is very rare, and as such please prepare a good reasoning for this change, and make sure to take the current situations of the clans into consideration. Note: You may require secondary assignments at the leader's discretion depending on how full the clan is. Changing clans is certainly no easy task, as your new clanmates will most likely treat you with mistrust and disdain before you are fully accepted (if ever). Please take that into consideration before thinking about changing clans. 

Name change ceremony - 1200cc [Availability varies]
                                       - 500cc if applied due to gender identity change
The plot allows your character to request the leader to change your name through a name change ceremony! Changing names within the clan is something that is rarely done, to the point that not all leaders know this ceremony exists. Because of this, this too is a personal plot! Currently name changes will be approved for non-clan cats who wish to take on a clan name, however all other reasons must be discussed by the admin team and may be rejected depending on the character's circumstances. Please note we do want to emphases that this is quite rare and because of that not all name changes will be approved!

Please note that for rogue/loner/kittypet heritage cats, your character may change their name upon joining the clan for free. However if they choose to keep their name, but decide to change their name after being in the clan for a long amount of time this fee will have to be paid. These cats get -200 cc off because of their previous purchase of a non-clan name. 


Event related plots:


Returning to the clans - 650cc [Availability limited] 
This allows any cats, that have been left behind or missing in the old territory or journey to return to the clans.
Please note this means your cat will have to travel the distance that the clan cats have journeyed but without the security and safety of traveling with the rest of the clan.

You do not need to purchase this just to bring back an NPC from the past! As long as, in canon, they never stayed behind or had to journey and find the clans alone, they do not need to purchase this! 

Other:


Other - Due to how many members, and how creative every one is, certain other life changing events may count as personal plots. If you think something might count, please ask before doing so!
