[Multi-Faction] it's quiet uptown [PLOT FINDER]

[otter]

TW: Topics Such As Suicide, Self Harm, Depression, Addiction, and Self-Loathing will be in this plot. You have been warned.

Welcome to probably one of the most complicated plots you'll ever see! It has so many layers, and so much buildup, that it is just massive. We'll delve down layer by layer, and how the roles will work and such.

STAGE 1 - Family

Pinepaw was 6 moons old. It was a normal day in the clearing, and the sun was shining. But then an argument broke out. And then the argument turned into a fight. Soon enough, the clearing was a tangled mess of limbs, fur flying, and yowls. And Pinepaw, a terrified apprentice, went and sought comfort in the first cat he saw. Sproutfleck.

(this next part wasn't roleplayed out but it's canon)

Soon, they grew closer and closer. Eventually, Pinepaw looked up to him as his dad, and Sproutfleck looked at him like his son. But it wasn't confirmed or official, since Sproutfleck hadn't adopted him yet. But it was soon. Or so they hoped.

STAGE 2 - Death

Dun Dun Duuun! @Blaaze decided to do the unthinkable and kill off Sproutfleck! The HORROR! (jk jk blaze I swear ) On a similar day, one where nothing could have gone wrong. But of course, something did. Pinepaw got a call from Wolfpaw to come to the medicine cat's den. He thought Wolfpaw was going to hang out with him. But then, just in his dying moments, Sproutfleck adopted him and called him son. Before practically dying in Pinepaw's arms.

STAGE 3 - Depression

Pinepaw goes into a deep depression. He is constantly self-harming himself, starving himself, and ignoring his own health in his grief. He constantly wishes that StarClan had taken him instead. But in his grief, he makes two friends. One that is overly energetic (like he was before Sprouts died) and one that is more straightforward and blunt. But he can't escape tragedy, and both of them die in an accident. Pinepaw sinks even further, pushing away EVERYONE except Shockhoney. And while he tries to act happy in a way around her, inside he wishes he was dead.

STAGE 4 - Manipulation

One night, when Pinepaw goes to sleep, he wakes up in the Dark Forest. A cat greets him, and introduces themself. They try to manipulate Pinepaw, try to convince him to use his grief to send him in a downward spiral of fury, killing, and grief-filled rage. And Pinepaw goes along with it. But then he realizes what the Dark Forest cat was trying to do. And one day, he goes into the Dark Forest, and in a furious rage, kills the Dark Forest cat, making sure that they can't hurt anymore cats. But after he snaps out of it, he breaks down. Fighting, the one thing he hated. He'd done it. He'd killed someone. He wakes himself up and someone finds him violently sobbing, shaking.

STAGE 5 - Swimming Down

this part will be kept a secret >:3

STAGE 6 - Healing

This ties in to Stage 5 so no peeking for you

eh? pinepaw is thunderclan-

[Badwolf]

In Thunderclan, I have Antpaw. This can either go two ways:

Antpaw's annoyed by Pinepaw... until he turns equally angsty as him. When that happens, Antpaw goads Pinepaw on and respects him more after they become similar, especially after Pinepaw kills the dark forest cat. And Pinepaw feels complicated. He feels the effects of power. Dark forest cat might be able to use this to convince Pinepaw that it's a good idea... until they die, oc. Lol.

Or Antpaw's annoyed by prickly Pinepaw who's constantly pushing every cat away and throwing his trauma in his face. So they fight and make trouble. When Pinepaw is violently shaking and sad, he'll be mean. Cuz why not.

Either way there is no friendship. Sadly Antpaw dislikes all cats, lmao. Except for other cats who dislike all cats.

I don't want a role, but feel free to ping me if you ever want em to interact. Yay.
