[RiverClan] STAR-CROSSED [ wormbite's partner finder ]

[wolfie]

THE SIN-EATER
* disclaimer his character site isn't close to being done but it does have the most important tidbits like his personality & appearance

hello helloo! i have been meaning to throw this up for a long time however i unfortunately procrastinated on making his character site. i still am but it has enough meat that i am impatient and doing it now. we're working on a deadline here folks! for the record this is a finder for either a romantic partner or a queer platonic partner for wormbite. someone he can fully unmask around.

i want slowburn! mutual understanding and devotion!! a partner in crime foremost before everything ends in disaster because wolfie is chaotic and evil to wormbite in particular. sorry worm, i wrote your death when i was twelve years old i gotta fulfill it. however to do that, i need YOU! yes YOU! to come apply to my finder :3 :33 but before you can you gotta read the guidelines!

note : even if wormbite has genuine romantic feelings, constant loss has made him far too fearful and emotionally constipated to declare someone his official "mate" . it will be left unsaid but understood. he likes to let his actions do the talking anyway

⋆✮⋆. worm can only develop romantic feelings for mlnb & mlm but girlies are welcomed to apply for a queer platonic relationship kinda vibe
⋆✮⋆. not the best w/aging but worm is sixty-one (~5.5 years ish) so looking for experienced warriors within 54-70 moons ! !
⋆✮⋆. there's nothing that catches worm's interest more than someone who is hardworking. while pre-made & new characters are both welcomed, bls be aware he'll quickly lose interest if someone frequently misses patrols, doesn't train their apprentice, etc. his loyalty to riverclan comes first always and he expects this of his partner.
⋆✮⋆. adding onto the previous bit, activity is a very large component in my decision. this is a slow-burn & ties into an (perhaps the most) important plot for wormbite !! i cannot write my angsty & silly queer cats properly if they disappear within three months. wolfie wants collaborative storytelling and tasty story development. if you get picked, you're in this with me for the long haul pretty please. speaking of the plot, i will keep my secrets but i do promise to offer cute and silly moments.. but i am also promising horrible doomedness. :3 you will be given further details if picked but there is not quite a happy ending to this. starcrossed for a reason i fear.
⋆✮⋆. wormbite is a traumatized & mentally ill individual --- he doesn't quite form the healthiest attachments and is in fact terrified of doing so because he has lost cats over and over and over. he genuinely views himself as cursed and everything in his life has supported this which means he is going to be difficult to get to open up. dude has thorns. and even after wormbite has opened up -- because i would so love for his partner to be the singular cat he can fully unmask around -- he will have unhealthy behaviors . it's hard to say which will come out within roleplay but his protective nature can be controlling w/him not wanting to lose another cat or he can lash out (verbally) and push others away to try and sever said connection. anything potentially triggering will always be spoilered properly though
⋆✮⋆. if you haven't gathered, my guy is also relatively morally grey. he enters a battle with the goal of killing his opponents. he believes it keeps the paws off his fellow clanmate's paws and serves to protect them by taking out a future danger. his hatred of non clan cats (*this does not apply to riverclanners who have a different background as long as they have successfully proven their loyalty) can make him sarcastic/apathetic at his best and aggressive/violent at his worst. wormbite will do anything for riverclan if he views it has a benefit. younglings are off limit tho. your character doesn't need to agree with wormbite on this but need to be able to reach some type of understanding/mutual ground bc otherwise we gonna have some bumps LOL
⋆✮⋆. to conclude, i am interested in characters who can either match wormbite's energy or provide balance to said energy! what this looks like is up to y'all and i am excited to see what you guys come up with.

---

i love you all but if you leave placeholders in my thread and do not actually use said placeholder we will FIGHT !!!! with that being said, there is no form because wolfie is too lazy to write one and i also wanna see y'all creative freedom. all i ask is that you add their age & gender + pronouns and uhm, their name somewhere haha!

i will likely choose 2-3 cats to do trial roleplays so i can get a bit of an idea of their dynamic before actually choosing! but even if y'all aren't picked or whatnot, i am always always open for wormbite interactions in general !! esp more buddies.

the tentative deadline is june 17 @ 11:59 pm EST !! if you have any questions, please vm / pm me or contact me on discord. finally, there is no need to quote and/or mention me in this thread!! trust, i will be stalking this thread hungrily for sacrifices.

thank you guys for reading to the bottom of this

[wolfie]

did i say I promised cute and silly moments too
best of both worlds guys okay

THE EMBER WITHIN AND THE NIGHT THAT IT LIGHTS

EMBER'NIGHT

male - he/him - 57 moons

 

name; ember'night

Clan: RiverClan

Appearance: A large, powerful cat with broad shoulders and a sleek, pure black coat. His most striking feature is his torn-away muzzle, revealing his teeth and gums in a permanent snarl. A large, disfiguring burn mark scars his right hind leg, a constant reminder of his past agony.

Personality:

Cold and Untrusting: Years of abuse and betrayal have left Ember'night guarded and suspicious of everyone he encounters. He keeps his distance, avoids vulnerability, and assumes the worst in others.
Detached and Apathetic: He carries a heavy burden of emotional exhaustion. The constant pressure and recurring trauma have made him numb, rendering most things meaningless. He often appears indifferent, viewing the world through a lens of cynicism.
Traumatized: Ember'night is deeply scarred by his past, particularly the abuse he suffered at the hands of his father and the tragic drowning of his sister. These events haunt his thoughts, fueling his anger and affecting his ability to form meaningful connections.
Loyal to his Clan: Despite his personal struggles, Ember'night remains fiercely loyal to RiverClan. It's one of the few things he holds onto. He sees the clan as his duty and is willing to do anything to protect them.
Hates his Father: His father is the object of his burning hatred. His father inflicted years of physical and emotional abuse upon him, even attempting to feed him to dogs. This hatred is a driving force in his life, shaping his actions and fueling his rage.
Cares for his Brother: His brother is one of the few beings he truly cares for. He feels the need to protect him from the world.
Burnt Out and Overworked: The constant demands of being a warrior, coupled with his internal turmoil, have left Ember'night emotionally and physically drained. He feels weighed down by responsibility and longs for respite, but his unwavering loyalty prevents him from stepping back.
Anger Issues: Ember'night struggles to control his anger. His trauma simmers beneath the surface, erupting in violent outbursts when triggered by perceived threats or reminders of his past.
Depressed: A deep-seated sadness permeates his being. He feels trapped in a cycle of pain and resentment, unable to find joy or hope for the future.
Willing to Kill for his Clan: His loyalty to RiverClan overrides his personal reservations. Ember'night is prepared to take any life necessary to defend his clanmates and uphold their traditions, even if it further burdens his conscience.
Holds Grudges: He has a long memory and does not easily forgive those who betray him or his clan. Grudges fester within him, adding to his bitterness and resentment.
Hates Water: A severe phobia of water stemming from witnessing his sister's drowning. He avoids bodies of water whenever possible, making fishing and swimming a source of anxiety and discomfort.
Motivations:

To protect RiverClan from harm.
To find a way to cope with his trauma and find some semblance of peace.
To reconnect with his brother and keep him safe
Wants to rekindle old friendships: He pines for the simpler days of his youth and the bonds he shared with his former friends. However, he fears being betrayed again, preventing him from reaching out and rebuilding those connections.
Desire to believe in StarClan: He longs for the comfort and guidance of StarClan, but his experiences have made it difficult for him to have faith. He struggles with the idea of benevolent ancestors watching over him, given the suffering he has endured.
Fears:

Drowning: His sister's death haunts him, and he is terrified of being submerged in water.
Betrayal: He fears being hurt and abandoned by those he trusts, reinforcing his reluctance to form close relationships.
Weakness or Vulnerability: He is afraid to show his emotions or admit his struggles, fearing that it will make him a target for exploitation or ridicule.
Overall:

Ember'night is a complex and tragic figure, shaped by trauma and driven by loyalty. He is a formidable warrior, feared and respected by many, but beneath his hardened exterior lies a broken spirit longing for solace and connection.

 

On the misty bay of the river, two young kits, Ember and Worm, share a bond forged in the innocence of their early days. They play together in the sun-drenched glades, dreaming of becoming the strongest warriors of their clan. But tragedy strikes when Ember's mother passes away, plunging Ember into a deep well of sorrow and anger. As they transition into their apprenticeships, the once inseparable friends find themselves drifting apart, their hearts hardened by grief and resentment. Ember becomes cold and reclusive, while Worm, who has been dealing with his own struggles, tries to reach out but is met with Ember’s icy demeanor.

Time passes, and the clan's leaders assign Ember and Worm to a hunting patrol together, unaware of the emotional chasm that has formed between them. As they set out into the woods, Ember barely recognizes Worm, who has grown and changed during their time apart. The silence between them is thick with unspoken words and unresolved feelings. Ember's initial reaction is to brush off any attempt at reconnecting, reflecting his deep-rooted apathy. However, as they hunt, the familiar scent of Worm triggers memories of their childhood, and Ember's heart stirs with guilt and longing.

During the hunting patrol, they encounter a rival clan’s patrol, leading to a tense standoff. Worm steps forward, instinctively protective of Ember, but Ember, still engulfed in his emotional turmoil, reacts defensively, leading to a misunderstanding. This moment forces Ember to confront the reality of their broken friendship; he realizes that Worm’s loyalty is still strong, even if their connection is frayed. As they return to their camp, Ember feels a mix of frustration and sorrow, stirring within him the remnants of their old bond.

Back at the camp, Ember finds himself unable to shake off the memory of Worm's unwavering support during the confrontation. In a moment of vulnerability, he approaches Worm, surprising them both. They begin to talk, and Ember tentatively shares his feelings of loss and anger. Worm listens, and for the first time in ages, Ember feels seen. Their conversation deepens, and they share stories of their apprenticeships, laughter mingling with sorrow. This rekindling of their friendship marks a pivotal turning point for Ember; he begins to let down his guard, slowly rediscovering the joy of companionship.

As their friendship blossoms again, Ember finds himself battling a mix of emotions. He realizes that his feelings for Worm are resurfacing in a way he can't ignore. However, he becomes fearful, thinking that opening up about his feelings could jeopardize their renewed friendship. Meanwhile, Worm notices Ember’s internal struggle but feels uncertain about how to approach the subject. Their bond, while strengthened, is also fraught with unspoken tension, leading to moments of awkwardness and confusion that mirror the complexities of their past.

shakes in fear . place....holder

[sturgeonwind]

sigh why do i
nope

[alec]

i was originally under the impression jayfrost was a lot younger than he actually is but im gonna preface this application with this warning.]

jayfrost was created as 25 (I think) moons old in early December 2023 meaning he would theoretically be 43ish moons old. however, given I do not want to pass up on this opportunity I have made the decision to pretend I fast aged him in the recent past (which is easy to just say because he was either inactive or I had a massively inaccurate age in his header lol)

lets get the boring stuff out of the way, jayfrost is AMAB and currently goes by he/him, will however transition to he/any in the near future while keeping his identity as male.
he does not have any living family and very few friends.

the past 6+ months of his life were spent trapped at a twoleg place following my scaring everyone by pretending i actually killed him in september-ish lol.

jayfrost, too, is mentally ill and traumatised. to the point where I will have to see how I find my way around with him given the huge hit his almost death did to his already brittle self esteem. hes a quiet and sweet cat, usually keeping out of any drama as far as much as he can. I am uncertain if there might be some trouble in their relationship (be that platonic or romantic) due to their similar coping mechanisms, i dont think itd be a big deal though since his trust issues dont really weigh in much.
he almost died and thinks he should live life as if every day is his last which mostly includes giving others the time of day and his heart another chance at love.

jayfrost just lost pretty much all cats dear to him and would very much be hesitant in fully committing to anyone. for all he knows, garlicfeather and goldfish are simply dead alongside stormstar. its quite hard to really give you a full perspective of how he will act and develop since jay was in my back pocket for a while now n I haven’t gotten the chance to write him much during his rejoining.

this is a wip, I will add onto it later ideally. EDITED: 4th june
