Forest of Fate is a three year old traditional, all literacy level role play site set in Colorado. Based off the Warrior cats series by Erin Hunter, we welcome any member, experienced or not, and will attempt to help every member flourish while having fun! With several plots on the go, there's always something available to leap into. So, take a look around, create a character and join our community, we'd love to have you!

The future is with Fate. The present is our own.
In this forest, the conflicts of feline nature, over boundaries, prey and love, are deeply entwined with the entrappings of faith. Battles over ideology and religion are commonplace, for Starclan belief is not a given in each of the four clans.
Meadowclan, relaxed when it comes to belief, is rocked by internal strife and civil war. For Fogclanners, Starclan faith is a necessity, for anything else could cause pain and isolation at the paws of their own clan mates and tyrant leader. On the other end of the scale, Pineclanners have no belief in Starclan at all, and their peaceful but unconventional ways are a source of great controversy in the forest. And then, there is the clan in pieces. Streamclan will stop at nothing to survive, perhaps at the expense of peace in the forest.
Trouble is ever-present for each and every cat, whatever they believe and wherever their loyalties lie. Will the cats thrive or will they succumb to fate?
Welcome to the forest. The forest of fate.
3RD MARCH: New skin :D Sorry it took so long to get up! This skin was mostly made by the marvellous Crow, former head admin of FoF, but has been modified by Rolo a little (which is why it took so long). Still, send your applause Crow's way, not mine :D Be sure to get involved in the PC/FC Flash Event, the SC/PC Flash event and all the other plots! Also, if you have a quote you'd like to submit for our new feature, Quote of the Moment, please visit this thread. There is no limit on submissions, and it a brilliant way to showcase everyone's work! Rolo will also get the gathering up and review the plot system over the weekend.
10TH FEBRUARY: Glowy is taking charge of the FC/PC Flash Event! Please contact her if you would like more information or a cat that you'd like to offer up! Seriously guys, it's worth getting involved, this Flash Event is likely to bring about a metaphorical earthquake! The forest will not remain peaceful for much longer. In other news, expect a brand new GATHERING to be up in the next few days. Rolo will also be working on reviewing the current plot system to make it far simpler to use. In addition, we'll be trying to complete some backend work :3
9TH FEBRUARY: Happy FoFday everyone :D Take a look at this announcement to see the anniversary message from staff.
1ST FEBRUARY: Hey guys, hope life ain't getting ya down :D As always, the staff are planning awesome things both in character and out of character. You asked for more updates and quicker bio checking, and we're working to give you exactly what you wanted :) You also asked for more flash events, so guess what? Another one is in the pipeline, this time between Pine and Fog. Go PM Glowy if you're interested :D Oh, and this flash event could just cause a bit of site-wide drama. Maybe. MAYYYYBE. Oh, and if you didn't know, on the 9th February, FoF reaches it's 3rd birthday! So, expect many celebrations and lots of confetti. Trust me when I say that it's going to be awesome, so be sure to stick about!
26TH DECEMBER: Merry Christmas FoFers :D Here's a brand new skin for you, created jointly by Pyro and Rolo! It's the holidays, so we decided to be a little bit more lighthearted through the use of snarky comments :3 It's a one off, unless you guys all love it that much. If you have any suggestions for the background, do prod us, it may well be changing! Look at the previous update for all the rest of the stuff to see :D
Head Admin Profile:
Rolo is a friendly, happy admin who maintains that she is but simply another, normal member. Although she has perfected the ADMIN!voice, she enjoys meeting new people and chatting about characters and dislikes telling people off. She's nearly never completely serious and it's rare that she's angry or even irritated, so don't be afraid of her!
Jobs:
Rolo does practically anything at FoF. She advises on characters, runs plots and does half of the stuff behind the scenes. Her coding skills are getting better. She cannot make graphics. If you have a question, she's the one you should talk to! However, Rolo has a busy life and a different time zone to most of you, so she may not answer immediately.
Co-Admin Profile:
Mature, friendly and with an amazing sense of humor, Pyro is a dependable and extremely skilled co-administrator. Helping build v2 from the ground up, she has helped FoF mature and change in the face of hardship, and so it's blatantly obvious that the staff could not have chosen a better admin!
Jobs:
Pyro does many behind the scenes jobs, organizing and directing other staff. She helps manage the site content and information threads. Creatively, she checks bios and runs plots, often role playing in them herself in some way. She's quite adept at graphic making, so virtually all the (spiffy) site graphics are made by her.
Moderator Profile:
Glowy is a moderator on FoF and was only recently promoted after several years of activity. Kind and eternally nice, she's a calm presence on FoF and is brilliant at aiding those who are upset or needing support. With high skills in people relations and character creation, Glowy is always willing to offer a helping hand.
Jobs:
Glowy's jobs vary, ranging from behind the scenes to creating information threads. She also bio checks, with particular skill in criticizing high level bios.
Moderator Profile:
Cloudie has an unusual role on FoF, taking a position tailored entirely to her skills. Cloudie seems to remember every little detail about every cat on FoF, from their owner to their relationship status. She's pretty much capable of reciting the name of every apprentice in the site, along with their age and mentor, so she manages the rosters and keeps the staff in the know with her inhuman memory skills.
Jobs: Cloudie keeps the clan rosters and taken names updated and to help any new member with naming and FoF canon. She takes part behind the scenes and runs plots. She only recently made the leap to moderator.

The forest is beginning to show signs of new leaf. The chill of Leafbare has began to dissolve into patches of sunshine, to the point where, if you're lucky, you might even be able to sunbathe a while. However, now is no time for sitting in the sun. The weather might be smiling, but behind clan borders, things are getting tense. Such a shame that hostility cannot thaw like snow...

Quote of the moment -
"When I wake up in the morning, I piss excellence." - Raimi [v1 cbox shenanigans]
"Because all things had a soul. Because all things had worth. Volepelt was trying to take the worth away from those who were different. But he couldn't do that. no matter how right he thought it was, he couldn't take someone's worth. He couldn't take someone's soul. And it was not his place to condemn. He might have very well been the assistant to a cat who could have been StarClan's messenger, but that did not make him the world's judge and jury." - Poppythroat of Fogclan (Pyro)
The verse. The endless verse. Was it a product of her own mind, or had it been sent? Was it a promise of salvation? Or further damnation?" -- Brightnose of Fogclan (Cloudie)
"He did not turn around to face the star, for he knew if he did he would be tempted to let the cold rule his life again. He must be powerful enough to resurrect the past. But experience told him otherwise. His memories were protected by a film, almost like ice, that was so very very thin but oh so cold, and if he pressed himself up against it for too long in an attempt to melt the barrier it would just freeze him instead." - Rainpaw of Pineclan (Glowy)
"She couldn't win. This was a losing battle and it had been since she had foolishly taken him in as her apprentice, in the hopes to push him away. The irony of the situation mocked her. She had sought to chase him out, and only brought him closer than any other cat, into the depths of the twisted tunnels of her heart." - Gingerstar of Pineclan (Whiskers)
"O'child of Winter,
stubborn like thick ice,
blizzard in your soul,
numb the heart's pain,
cold hands taking hold of me,
their eyes frozen shut
fly away with snow angels
-
I'm a soldier, wounded so I must give up... the fight
There's nothing more... for me.
Lead me away. - Road of Thorns fanfic (Slug)

Learn of the heritage behind the clans by looking at the Clan Histories and Clan Plotlines and, in turn, create some history yourself. Come here to discuss plans for plots and get them accepted by an admin.
This is the place to apply your ranking positions (leader, deputy, medicine cat, and medicine cat apprentice). Make sure the position is open before applying and that you post the application in the right sub-board using the correct form.
Thick bushes of long grass, old badger/fox sets, and various hills make up the camp and it's wall for MeadowClan. Here you can role play the going-ons of the camp, from the medicine cat's den to leader announcements.
MeadowClan's territory is a large expanse of dry and long grass. Hills scatter the land (as well as abandoned fox and badger sets) and the residence are lean, perfect for running the far distances of open space. Here you can role play practically anything that takes place out side of the clan's camp.
Getting passed the large meadow takes you to the border of MeadowClan, which connects you to the other three clans. Here one can play a simple border patrol, a secret meeting, or who knows what. As long as it takes place by the border.
The FogClan camp is surrounded by thick brambles and clumps of ferns, providing more than adequate protection in the thick forest. This is where one would roleplay what occurs in the FogClan camp.
Located in a thick forest, FogClan's territory is hard to navigate if you haven't been trained in it. Early mornings usually mean fog, and lots of it. Some days cats must wait until sunhigh to hunt properly. The role play here can be anything that takes place outside of camp.
On the edge of FogClan territory the thick trees and undergrowth fade out to reveal the other three clans' territories. Border role plays should be played here, and make sure what you have going on is appropriate for the borders.
The farthest bit of the river, just near the border of StreamClan territory far from the other clans is a muddle of reeds and grass, which make up the clan's camp. Part of the river runs right by it, making flooding dangerous.
With the river and smaller creeks running through it, StreamClan territory is very murky under foot. But get far enough from the water and clumps of trees and drier bushes can be found, sheltering prey. Here is where you role play out of StreamClan camp.
The river runs down most of the border, keeping on the StreamClan side for the most parts. Bits of it slip into other clans. PineClan's border seems to be the driest, and the easiest to cross. Cats can be played here for border-related things only.
Dense grouping of pine trees with only a few spaces of undergrowth make hunting solely on the ground a little difficult. A large patch of oak and maple trees lies near the FogClan border, providing a good hunting place. Out of camp experiences can be played here.
Nestled into a pine forest, PineClan camp is surrounded by lower growing trees and dense undergrowth. Here one can role play anything that takes place in the camp.
Pine trees fade out to blend in with the territories of the surrounding three clans. The border provides a place to play patrols, meetings, or even a betrayal.
One every half moon the medicine cats come here to speak with StarClan and share amongst themselves. The connection with the warrior ancestors are strongest here. Leaders may often come to seek guidance.
Once a moon the clans gather here to share news between themselves. Cats can also come here for secret meetings or from getting to one clan to another easily. Even medicine cats can come here, looking to find herbs.
Off of the clans' territory there's an old, abandoned ranch. Here is where most loners and rogues make their homes before moving on or, in the rare case, chose to stay. The cats here could have nothing to do with the clans or be big roles within the clans.
Away from the clans and the rogues and loners and kittypets there lies open wilderness. Cats rarely live here, more often they chose to travel through toward the clans, blocked by mountains or the way they came.
Kittypets live here with their twoleg owners. Rogues and loners can also be spotted here, but the clans have no connection to the pampered cats that make this their home.
If you want to test out your character or play out of the FoF canon here is the area for you! Remember, cats can be played here even if they do not have a bio! Roleplays in the past may also be played here.
