AN: As stated in the summary and title, I need OCs. I've always been a fan of incorporating readers into the story somehow, and the easiest way for that is to have you create characters to use (since I currently find myself struggling creating unique characters for all the clans...). xD PLEASSSE send in your characters for me, and I promise they'll be put to good use! Here's my current Allegiances for my upcoming story The Troublepaws.

Where things are left with an "x" (or if I have a set number) are where I need submissions for.

A "possibly needs..." means that I may not accept a cat in that role unless I like the characters enough.

In the allegiances I include a brief intro to the clan and a description of the characters I made thus far.

Pardon typos; I was in a rush to finish this at...9:00 at night. xP

ALLEGIANCES

ICECLAN:

Located in the piney forest close to the mountainside, IceClan has the largest expanse of land and the most plentiful prey, meaning they truly don't have much to complain about. They typically tend to come off as haughty and prideful as a result, and are prone to getting themselves into unnecessary fights. Like all good clans, though, they won't turn a blind eye and a deaf ear on those who ask for help.

LEADER: Creekstar - A large, thick-furred, pale silver tabby tom with large, snow-white paws and icy blue eyes. Currently the oldest leader of the clans, he has served his clan loyally for many moons and has had a very respected leadership, remaining both firm and understanding. However, he has near no interest in the other clans, and since the passing of his mate and deputy, Curltail, he has been noted as being more aggressive and irrational. Many wonder if his leadership is coming to an end. (Three lives left; about ten years of age)

DEPUTY: Jayflight - A small, light brown tabby tom with semi-long fur and a white chest and paws, a plumey white-tipped tail, and smokey heather-blue eyes. Despite his comparatively young age, he's a very thoughtful and intelligent cat. He always has his clan's best interest at heart and is praised as being the best deputy IceClan has had in moons. Despite this, he lacks ambition to become leader and often questions himself in this new, important role. He has not won the approval of every cat in his clan. (Four years of age)

MEDICINE CAT: Honeyspots - A plush white she-cat with honey-colored splotches on her back, round, dark amber eyes, and deformed, very small ears that lay back against her head. Despite her sweet looks, Honeyspots is a she-cat who knows what she wants and how to get it, easily persuading others to do something for her, such as take their herbs. She's very close to the deputy Jayflight, and often goes to him concerning clan affairs over Creekstar. (Nearly four years of age) (POSSIBLY NEEDS APPRENTICE)

WARRIORS: (organized by seniority)

Raventalon - A long-haired, raven black tom with a fluffy, gray-tinged chest, scrawny tail, and sharp yellow-green eyes. The abandoned son to a MarshClan warrior and a kittypet, Raventalon spent the majority of his kithood living the domesticated life. When he strays too far from home, IceClan finds him as a terrified youngster and takes him in. He's deeply appreciative of his adopted clan and - despite knowing of his parentage - is a deeply loyal and devoted warrior, who has no intentions of retiring. Along with his mate, Sharpclaw, he's one of the most respected cats in the clans, and his relationship with Sharpclaw is considered legendary. (About eight years of age.)

Sharpclaw - A sleek, long legged calico she-cat with large ears, green eyes, and unusually long, very sharp claws and a long, disfiguring scar going up the length of her stomach. Before being a warrior, she was a kittypet turned rouge who went by the name Kasha. When she became fed up with her Twolegs and her housemate's mewling kits, she ran away to explore the world, eventually being captured by IceClan warriors. When she learned about their honorable way of life, she set out to prove herself able to become a warrior. Placed on a brief apprenticeship under Raventalon, she fell in love with her temporary mentor, and with his vouching for her she was able to join the clan. She's one of the fiercest and most powerful warriors in the clans, who deals some of the most devastating of wounds. She's unable to have kits due to the scar on her stomach, which was given to her by a very angry badger in her youth. She's considered legendary in the clans, a warrior mentors tell their apprentices to avoid when in battle. (Seven years of age.)

APPRENTICES:

Vixenpaw - A sleek, dark ginger she-cat with barely visible tabby markings, a white chest, muzzle, paws, and tail-tip, a long muzzle, a bushy tail, and bright yellow eyes (overall heavily resembling a fox). The mastermind behind the schemes she and her brother pull, she's a superb liar and a master at feigning innocence. She knows ow to wrap her tail around anyone to avoid getting into trouble. She displays some excellent leadership skills, and many wonder if she'll ever drop her nasty habit of lying and strive towards a leader some day, an aspiration she has no real drive for. She's incredibly close to her brother, Foxpaw, specifically after the disappearance of her parents. (9 moons.)

Foxpaw: A semi-long-haired bright ginger tabby tom with white forepaws, round, brilliant amber eyes, and long whiskers. Like his sister, he's very much a troublemaker, often acting out the schemes Vixenpaw sets in place, though he's without her charm and is a terrible liar. He hates to take charge and often feels stressed when performing important tasks he's not walked through. He's very kind-hearted and good humored, and would do anything to make others feel better. Very close to Vixenpaw, he often views her as his sister, mother, and father, and he never leaves her side. (9 moons.)

QUEENS - x

ELDERS:

Bluenose - A massive, muscular blue-gray tom with a battle-scarred pelt, torn ears, and deep green eyes. A fierce warrior in his youth, but now a calm and warm-hearted elder. He's an excellent storyteller and, despite his age, he's a very healthy and active tom, only retiring so that he could live more comfortably without the stresses of being a warrior. Superb at providing advice, he has long been his brother, Creekstar's, confidant, birth on clan matters and personal ones. He never misses a Gathering and during tough times will hunt for the clan. (10 years of age.)

(POSSIBLY NEEDS MORE ELDERS)

DARKCLAN:

The sneaky cats who make their home in the underground tunnel system that stretches underneath all territories, specifically on the most southern of the stone territory, they are the most adaptable clan, learning skills and other such things in order to survive. Overall a quiet clan, they aren't aggressive nor prideful, but don't make friends easily with the other clans do to their secretive nature. It is believed that during troubling times, they will steal prey from the other, more plentiful territories by using their tunnels, though this has never been proven outright.

LEADER: Sagestar - A beautiful, very small, long haired, milky cream she-cat with striking green eyes. Before Sagestar was leader, she was the clan's medicine cat, going by the name Sagetongue. When a serious outbreak of greencough spread through DarkClan, both the leader and deputy lost their lives, and she was forced into the position of leader. A deceitful she-cat even when she was a healer, she is possibly the least liked leader of the clans, and is the most un-trusted. She loves her clan greatly however and would do anything for them, despite not having their full support. She's not fully accustomed to the Warrior code and often forgets she's leader now, not the medicine cat. (9 lives left. About four years old.)

DEPUTY: Dewleaf - a large, dark gray tabby tom with deep blue eyes and a twisted back paw. The senior warrior who helped Sagestar keep the clan together, its of popular belief he should have become leader over the medicine cat. However, being leader was a responsibility he never wanted, and the only reason he agreed to become deputy was because of his respect and affection for Sagestar, and he knew that she would need his support if she weren't to be chased out of the clan. He intends on retiring once Sagestar has won the full support of her clan. (9.5 years old.)

MEDICNE CAT: Flamewatcher - A young, cream-and-pale ginger tabby tom with pale gray-blue eyes and a scrawny frame. A cat with little self-confidence, he was left only as the half-trained apprentice Flamepaw when Sagestar became leader. Desperate to finish his training, Sagestar asked her good friend Honeyspots to complete his training for her. She agreed. He has since developed a close friendship to the IceClan medicine cat, and he often goes to her or Sagestar for advice. He was the one who interpreted the sign that placed Sagestar as the official leader of DarkClan. (16 moons old.)

WARRIORS:

Breezeclaw - A fawn-colored tom with light brown tabby markings, a white-tipped tail, two white paws, and amber eyes. Close to his sister Sagestar, though unsure of her leadership capabilities, Breezeclaw isn't afraid to voice his opinion to her or anyone else, though is very mild-mannered when doing so. He often challenges Sagestar's authority, which many cats of the clan find to be helpful in molding her into a leader. Dewleaf often comments that he should have been made deputy over himself. (About four years old.)

MARSHCLAN:

The smallest of the clans, they are very cautious when it comes to most things, though are the most lenient with the warrior code. They will often accept non-clan cats into their ranks in order to have more possible warriors, including kittypets from their Twolegplace neighbors. Typically friendly overall, much about their character is judged based on their leader at the time.

LEADER: x

DEPUTY: x

MEDICINE CAT: Adderfang - A very dark brown tabby tom with black tabby stripes, largely built and muscular, with a ragged, scarred pelt and narrow, intimidating yellow eyes. Despite his powerful build and intellect, Adderfang never really took to warrior training like the other apprentices. He was clumsy, stumbling over his own paws and never staying still enough to hunt properly. Late into apprenticeship, he decided to become a medicine cat apprentice. Many cats wondered how such an impatient and mal-tempered apprentice could possibly become a medicine cat. However, he was naturally gifted in the practice, and despite his gruff, no-nonsense attitude, he's a superb medicine cat. (Five years old.) (NEEDS APPRENTICE)

WARRIORS:

Thistletail - A pale brown tabby tom with darker stripes on his face and tail, lean in overall build, with thin, ragged fur, dark green eyes, and a long scar on his chest. While an overall respected warrior, Thistletail can be very vicious and impatient at times, rushing into fights before thinking. He's a superb mentor and is a powerful fighter and hunter. He has a deep hatred for Sharpclaw, who nearly killed him and gave him his chest scar.

STONECLAN:

A content clan that sometimes comes off as cowardly, StoneClan cats are calmer and more friendly and the others (typically speaking). However, they are fiercely protective of the Warrior code and don't tend to associate with rule-breakers. They once shared a border with MarshClan, but after too much blood was spilled there the Clans agreed to extend DarkClan territory to end the bloody rivalry. They are the fastest cats in the clans.

STARCLAN:

Curltail (IceClan) - A pretty tortoiseshell she-cat with long, dark fur, bright amber eyes, and a round, slightly flat face. The deputy before Jayflight, she was close to her mate Creekstar before greencough claimed her life. Very affectionate and devoted to her clan, she often watches over everyone in the clan and does everything within her power to keep them safe.

Froststar - A long-haired, bright-eyed she-cat with fur white as snow, she was banned from RiverClan shortly after Riverstar's demise for her blood-thirsty and un-warrior-like behavior. Along with Shadow, she traveled many lands to find the mountainside territories filled with fighting cats. Together with the other founding leaders, she helped form four new clans, teaching them of the warrior code. She would serve alongside Shadowstar (not the original Shadowstar who founded ShadowClan) as a protectorate over every clan until her demise. She founded IceClan, not naming the clan after herself because she always felt she belonged with RiverClan. She's one of the only ancient leaders to continue watching over the clans.

Shadowstar - A large, jet-black tom with long fur and pale green eyes who bore an uncanny resemblance to the original Shadowstar, he was a very wise cat who very briefly resided in Shadowclan. Despite being a rouge, he had one of the strongest connections to StarClan in the Original clans. After defending Froststar, he was banished alongside her. He taught the new mountainside clans of StarClan and ancestors, and became the founding leader of DarkClan (he refused to name his clan ShadowClan because of the Original clan). Alongside Froststar, he was a protectorate over all the clans, and retired early from leadership after Froststar passed on. He is the only other founding leader to continue watching over the mountainside clans alongside Froststar.

AN: As you can see, I need quite a few characters, with StoneClan not even being developed past the territory and typical clan character. You're welcome to submit as many characters as you'd like under any roles you want, but I'll warn you now though: only the most interesting and what I call "writeabe" characters will be accepted. Every other day (depending on submissions) I'll update the story with an updated allegiances with the accepted characters, along with a bit more information on my fan-made clans, such as history and snippets for The Troublepaws.

If your character is for some reason not accepted for the main story, I fully intend on writing a one-shot based off them, just because I feel guilty for not doing anything with them.

Without further ado, here's the submission form:

AGE:

RANK: (Warrior, Apprentice, Rogue, Kittypet, StarClan ancestor, etc.)

APPEARANCE: (Be as descriptive as possible!)

PERSONALITY: (I must stress this; I want FLAWED characters. I don't want pretty, kind she-cats for every submission. I need cats of all types, evil, good, funny, grumpy, etc. Everyone MUST have a personality or physical flaw that sets them apart from other characters)

CLAN: (If they have one)

FAMILY: (if any, including parents, siblings/half-siblings, mates, kits, and so on.)
