[Outsiders] Broken Family Webs

The Plot

Part 1 - The beginning

 

It all started when an outsider met a clan cat, a cute story of love began to unfold. The clan cat offered the outsider to join the clan, stay with them but the outsider couldn't dream of joining the clan, too many cats, too much responsibility, too much relying on others. The meetings continued but the clan cat did not falter with their offers. It was only moons later after the outsider's belly swell did she admit she was with kits. What she expected was joy, happiness, love. What she got instead was anger.

The clan cat refused to call the kits his own, said he never wanted to see the outsider again. To add salt to injury he even chased her out of the clan territory, swearing to chase her out if she ever came back. Confused and heartbroken, the outsider fled and some moons later gave birth to a litter of three. Yet she wasn't happy to have the kits anymore. In fact all she felt while looking down at them was hate, hate that these scraps of fur had ruined her relationship. By the age of three moons, the outsider began to distance herself from her kits, not playing with them, not bothering to look at them and by 4 moons it only got worse.

Any time the kits tried to get close to their mother, they were told off with a hiss, the looks they received from their mother never holding any love, multiple times she wouldn't even bring them food. The eldest taught herself to hunt for her siblings, but there was only so much she could do as a kit. With the little food she managed to get, she'd feed her siblings, skipping meals until one day she passed away.

Part 2 - The new family

 

The two remaining kits stayed with their mother, hoping to get some kind of love as they learned new skills, yet still they were invisible. One day the outsider met a runaway kittypet. The kittypet obviously having no knowledge about life in the wild joined the family. What was originally supposed to be a moon of learning the basics turned into staying with them full time.

The older the first litter got the closer their mother and the kittypet grew. One day there was an attack. A young fox trying to take them on for rights over their den. The two cats from her litter and the kittypet all fought, mostly the two kits of her litter. In the end they chased the fox off but not without the causality of the kittypet. Expecting praise for chasing off a threat, the two cats were met with hate from their mother were she revealed she was carrying kits, blaming them both for the fact these kits wouldn't have a father.

As more time passed, the day of the birth came, everything went well. Four healthy kits, but the difference, the outsider's eyes shone with love. It had the flames of rage burning in the hearts of both the first litter kits, but for different reasons. One felt hatred for their mother, for not showing them the light of day because of something they had no control of, the other a hatred towards this new group of kits that had earned their mother's love without even trying.

Call it karma if you will but not longer after the kits had finished weening off of their mother, more foxes attacked. With kits to think of the family couldn't risk a fight and had to flee their home, but not without some injury, more specifically to the mother. With none of the cats having any medicinal knowledge, the mother lost her fight to infection.

Part 3 - Revenge

 

With their mother gone, OHS2(Older half sibling 2) proposed the two of them take care of the kits. While not at all pleased with the idea, OHS1(older half sibling 1) decided to agree. The two raised their half siblings with the tension between OHS1 and their siblings only rising. The knowledge that their mother had loved a group of kits who's father couldn't even fight for his own life while she had turned her back of them and watched their sibling starve without batting an eye flipped a switch.

OHS1 freaked out, attacking the oldest first born of the new litter with brutal efficiency. OHS2 who was out on a hunt came back to the body of the oldest kit on the ground and OHS1 attacking the other three kits. OHS2 got into a fight with their sibling, giving the three kits a chance to flee. While trying to give the kits a chance to flee OHS1 ends up striking a fatal blow. (intentional or unintentional is up to the person).

Part 4 - The aftermath

 

After witnessing the death of their oldest sibling and attacked by OHS1, the remaining three kits fled. While on the run the three find something, ton of mouse holes and with it mouse bile. The runt of the group has them roll in the bile before they continue to flee. On their own and covered from nose to tail in the terrible smell in an attempt to hide their scent, they come up with ideas.

Tarantula hearing about the existence of clans wants to go join one, while one of her other siblings believes trusting random cats would be a death sentence. Tarantula though has her mind set on the idea. Now the three siblings must decide. Do they all join a clan together, or is this where they split off.

Needed Characters
Older half sibling 1 - This cat is among the first litter and will have a strong dislike for the younger litter. This cat should be young adult age, any gender.

Older half sibling 2 - This cat is also part of the first litter. This cat's anger will not be directed towards the younger litter unlike their sibling. This character will die later in the plot so do keep this in mind. Cat should be young adult age, any gender

Sibling 1 - This is one of Tarantula's litter siblings, should be two moons and can be any gender

Sibling 2 - This is the oldest of Tarantula's litter siblings and will die later in the plot, should be two moons and can be any gender

Sibling 3 - This is the runt of Tarantula's litter siblings, should be two moons and can be any gender.

All 6 cats have the same mother but the two half siblings have a different father from the 4 kits so keep that in mind when making a character. The first litter can have medium to long length fur while the second litter can have short to medium length fur.

Color wise, the first litter has more freedom since it isn't specified the fur color of their father but the mother did have a black color scheme going on. For the second litter a reference photo of Tarantula is below.

 

Final Notes
This roleplay will take place after a month of the two raising the kits. I am hoping time wise for it to take around two months before OHS1 has their breakdown.

When the three remaining kits flee and decide whether to join a clan or not, Tarantula will have her mind set on leaving, it is up to the other two roleplayers whether they would like their cats to join a clan as well or stay outsiders. Another thing if you do decide to join a clan, they can also choose to join the same clan or join different ones.

This plot was one of the many plot ideas I had come up with while I was on my hiatus.

When making a character, go ahead and put some detail into it, give me an idea of who Tarantula's siblings are going to be. This is not a first come first serve finder so don't feel like you have to rush. Currently the selection date will be on the 20th of June 10pm PST. With that. Have at it with your characters!

lil boop

[Streamtail]

Auburn, black, and chocolate splotched molly with a white muzzle and tail. She has a fluffy bobbed tail and soft plushy fur, her large eyes a lilac-blue hue. One of her ears are folded.

╔═.✾. ════╗

Miri is an absolute sweetheart, very soft-spoken and timid. At least, that's what she comes off as. She has a very different side to her that you'll get to know if she opens up to you, a side that's very obnoxious, overly touchy, excitable, easily distracted, and forgetful. She only shows this side of herself, her "true personality" if you will, once she deems that the person in question is someone she can trust not to grow irritated with her. So in that aspect, she's quite cautious and analytical. She doesn't have a grasp on the concept of personal space, at least not with the people she's placed her trust in, so she'll often be right there pelt-to-pelt with whoever she feels like interacting with. She tends to speak quite loudly as well, so earplugs are recommended. Rambling to herself is another pastime of hers, often trailing off when she realizes she's not being listened to or that those around her may be vexed, though if that were to be the case she'd likely just shut her mouth and leave without another word. She's quite sensitive about that. She's the very definition of ADD, the type to walk into a room and forget why they went in there in the first place. Her brain tends to be all over the place, not organized in the slightest, but she somehow still manages to seem so collected. At times you might not recognize her, especially when upset or solemn, her usually talkative self takes a complete one-eighty. One might think she's mute. She doesn't externally freak out, in fact, her usually expressive face won't show any emotion at all.

( Wanted role - Sibling 3 )

-------------------------------

Quirks

⤷ She has a snorting laugh <3
⤷ When interested in someone, she'll spend all her time getting to know them and their character, if she doesn't like what she finds out she'll quite simply never speak to them again.

-------------------------------

Congenital Insensitivity to Pain

Miri doesn't feel pain like others do, and in return she isn't afraid of much that's physically threatening, more afraid of emotional rejection, which is why she doesn't allow herself close relationships until she's absolutely certain she'll be accepted. Her emotional sensitivity is also affected by this condition, which is perhaps the reason she can be so blunt at times.

-------------------------------

Decision About Joining

She'd likely follow Tarantula if she's so dead set on it, though she'd be wary.

Jackal
male - he/him(will not change in the future)


PERSONALITY DESCRIPTION:

• Sadistic: Jackal enjoys watching others suffer, but not out of joy. It’s control that he craves. Pain is the only currency he truly understands, and inflicting it is how he asserts power in a world that once crushed him.

• Manipulative: He doesn’t trust sincerity, so he treats kindness as weakness or deception. He’s a master at twisting people’s desires, fears, and insecurities to bend them into tools—or weapons.

• Broken: Underneath his brutal exterior is a hollow, screaming soul. Jackal doesn’t know how to process pain except by externalizing it, making others bleed metaphorically (and literally) for the wounds he carries.

• Depressed (Mother Issues): Jackal craved his mother's love, and never got it. This turned into a black void of self-loathing and rage. He blames himself for his eldest sibling's death, and for their mother's hate.

• Vengeful and Hateful: The world is a ledger. Every betrayal, slight, and abandonment is etched in his memory—and Jackal intends to settle every score. He sees mercy as weakness and thrives on revenge.

• Charming: He is a master of charm, and often uses this to his advantage in most - if not ALL situations. One of his - eventual - favorite pastimes is manipulating the feelings of she-cats and toms.

• Abandonment Issues: He hates being alone. He hates his siblings for leaving him alone. He hates everyone because no one stays, despite what he did.

PHYSICAL DESCRIPTION:
He is a handsome, silky-furred gentleman with a black base coat. He has light blue-grey stripes and darker blue-grey smudgings on his body. He has grey eyes, his left eye is lighter than his right. His skin is dark red-brown with black spotting, and he has a long, fluffy tail. He has a scar on his nose from when he fought against the foxes.

FUTURE IDEAS:
I feel like he would be a stalker type of guy. Especially towards his siblings, or any cat he finds interesting.
I have this idea where he is polygamous and straight, and has a few different mates who all get pregnant at about the same time. Alongside this, if he is a young adult(around 12 moons?), then he would have this kitty-pet that follows him around almost 24/7 before he finally convinces her to leave her twolegs when she starts showing signs of pregnancy.
Also, he would likely not join a clan, but he would have a small 'family' group of cats(his mates, kits, and himself).

"You don't have to be kind... I can be kind enough for us both."
Lotus
Female - she/her
Trying for Sib. # 1

Despite the drama revolving around her family, Lotus is - and always will be - the most sweetest thing you have ever met. She treats everyone with warmth and compassion, even those who don’t deserve it. She believes everyone has good inside them, no matter how buried - that's why she always thinks about Jackal(or whoever OHS1 is!) and feels guilty over leaving him. It’s hard to make her angry, and even harder to stay on her bad side. She finds excuses for people’s cruelty—sometimes to her own detriment(one day I plan to have her meet with OHS1, and he/she ends up scarring her). Lotus is the kind of person who remembers how you like your tea, notices when you're sad, and quietly finds ways to make others feel seen and loved no matter how they may treat her. She’s reserved around strangers, often looking down, speaking softly, or hiding behind others. But once she opens up, her genuine warmth shines through the fog. She's like her siblings' port in the storm, the one they can always run to. Lotus likely grew up sheltered or protected by one of her siblings, but was never spoiled. Her strength is quiet and often underestimated. Despite her softness, she has emotional endurance like iron. She absorbs pain without lashing out. She loves gifting others. Oftentimes, she will bring small flowers or rocks to her siblings. Sometimes she hums softly when she's alone, and she has a calm, soothing voice. She never retaliates when someone is cruel, no matter how much harm they may do - instead, she waits and cleans up the mess(in any way, shape, or form it appears in.) She is very empathic and oftentimes feels other's pain if she can relate to it, but she tries to help even when she can't understand.

She is a beautiful, smooth-furred she-cat with a medium grey base color and white tabby stripes. She has an auburn/dark red muzzle and a bit of red smudging/patches on her body. Her eyes are a light, lovely blue color that has no way of hiding how she feels.
