battle royale! [open to apprentices and warriors!]

[taillow]

Event [#event]

Dusklion
She/her | 25 moons | Shadow Fiend • Go with the Flow • Beefed Up T3
Be prepared. It was the only thing that the dark tabby could think of as she sat in the middle of her camp. The Clan she loved so much, that she had come to over a year ago, was scrambling. Dusklion could tell they were barely treading water and that just wouldn't sit with her. She wanted them to be feared, to be respected. Clawing their way back towards the top would take more than establishing new high ranks and sending out patrols. It would take dedication, loyalty, and most importantly; claws and teeth.

"RiverClan apprentices 'n warriors! Gather up 'n follow me out to the territory if you want to sharpen your battle skills with a sparring competition. Let's goooo!"

With that Dusklion wasted no time in trotting out of camp and into the territory. Her tail was held high despite her smaller-than-average stature and she led with confidence - leaping over a fallen branch here, winding around a prickly thorn bush there. Soon enough she came to a stop in a pretty sizable opening in their territory.

"Alright, I don't know about the rest of you, but I'm pretty sure every Clan is eyeing us like a juicy piece of prey. Now, I know I'm not a belly-up morsal, 'n neither are any of you. So! We're gonna fix that 'n show the other Clans just who we are; startin' with relearnin' what it means to be a warrior with claws and fangs." She let her gaze swept the crowd, signature smirk on her face as her tail swished behind her. "But just plain fightin' is borin', so this'll be a competition! I'll be pairin' you up with another cat - warriors, you'll go with warriors, 'paws will be paired with another 'paw, 'n you'll spar until one winner comes out on top. The winners from their fights will advance on, so on 'n so forth - but don't move on until I say so. Oh - 'n if you whine, or complain, or start anythin', you're out. If you fight with claws out 'n draw blood; you're out. Got it?"

...Did she rip this off entirely from an older event that she had heard stories of from Fury? Perhaps. But he would be proud right? She briefly tossed a glance up towards the overcast morning sky, eyes searching briefly, before looking back at her Clan. Dusklion waited for the Clan to gather up before she would start splitting them up into their groups.

HOW THIS WORKS:
- Dusk will be pairing cats together to spar in my next post; apprentices will be paired with apprentices and warriors will be paired with warriors.

- Winners of the spar should be determined by IC experience and the actual spar itself. It'll be up to the roleplayers to determine this! (If a decision is unable to be reached, or the cats are evenly matched, let me know and I will roll dice to determine the winner!)

- Once you have won your spar, wait for my next post with Dusk before moving on, as she will be pairing winners from the previous rounds together to start the next round

- The two winners of this event (one apprentice winner and one warrior winner) will be gifted artwork (using a base) of their winning character! However I want to spice up participation even more; I will be selecting five random roleplayers who participate in this event to also do art of their character as well!

Next Post and First Round On: 2/8

WarmStream and Darkwind made there way over to follow the cat.

Kestrelskies walked over.

Sparrowsnarl
RiverClan
he/him | 50 moons
[Large, fluffy, dark brown tabby with amber eyes]
· · ────────────── · ·
[Dusklion - @tallulah ]

Sparrowsnarl approached the talking cat, intrigued by the idea of a competition. It had been a while since his training, so he might be a bit rusty (aka his post count is very low teehee) but he would appreciate the practice nonetheless. He just hoped whoever he was paired with wasn't a jerk who gloated. That would just get him annoyed. The large tom nodded to Dusklion as he sat down nearby, eyeing the other cats approaching.

[ Cherryswirl - 52 Moons]

She/Her | Chaotic Good | Lionheart
Go With The Flow [Active]

A perfect chance to stretch their paws and get some of that rust worn off the joints! Tensions were... well tense. Anyone could see that. Especially with increasing border issues. That being said, Cherryswirl was quickly enthralled by Dusklion's call - more so her charisma in the initial statement. Before rushing out after Dusk and her other clanmates, the Lionheart quickly made her way over towards the apprentice den, poking her head inside in hopes that Wingpaw was around,

"Wing! Come join us for sparing - This will be good practice!" And with that, Cherryswirl was following the others out into the territory where she soon settled down with a beaming grin. After a moment of waiting, Dusklion spoke up again and Cherry found herself chortling at her quick jokes. As serious as the topic was, the humour was a good way to keep anxieties from rising.

"LOUD AND CLEAR, DUSKLION!" Cherryswirl called, perched forward expectantly and excitedly.

[ @tallulah - Potential Wing involvement? ]

[Naila]

Streamstorm
(Header goes here)
@tallulah


Origionally laying on a rock, Streamstorm lifted his head at the sudden call. The memory of the attack on his hunting patrol by the rival Windclan still left a trace of bitterness on his tongue whenever he spoke about it. A chance to spare would certainly allow him to be a better warrior for his clan. Pushing himself onto his paws he followed the group out of camp. His eye looked over the different cats that were joining, a good chance to get an idea of who he may be placed with.

[Fish]

Adderpaw wondered over with a smirk. A challenge sounded like fun

[FruitBatz]

Moonpaw listened intently

[hermeswind]

Winterpaw walked over.

[Marigoldwhisper]

[Deerspark]
Tom\Warrior\RC
"Da da da we're dead-"
· · ─────── ·· ─────── ·


The warriors attention swerved towards the source of a strong yowl, his ears perked curiously.

Some friendly fire? Deerspark could use that, heck, he could use anything right now.

It had been awhile since he'd fought anything so he was willing to kick his tired bones back in shape.

He had been lazying around a lot more than usual, his green eyes always groggily looking around in case anything happened that required him. But that day was long coming.

To be frank, Deerspark was sick of feeling useless and ten moons older than he was. This could be perfect for him.

Of course there'd be no guarantee that he'd win, but that didn't matter. He was just a few steps closer to feeling like himself again.

Deerspark blinked slowly before nodding his head and planting his sore paws into the ground.
