01. Username (w/ @)
@Dogpaw111

02. Name you go by.
Kat

03. Pronouns.
She/her

04. Do you have any offsite contacts/alts that can be used to reach you should something go wrong? (you may answer no if you aren't comfortable sharing!)
I do but I can’t put them here

05. What is your age range (if comfortable sharing)
12-15

06. Tell me about yourself in more than three sentences.
Hi! I'm cat, a self-taught artist, writer, and roleplayer. I love to read and, like I said earlier, write, specifically Warriors, Wings of Fire, and the like. I have been an active part of Scratch for almost 3 years now, and I don't intend on leaving any time soon! I play the cello, some piano, and recorder (lol). I sometimes code on Scratch but I make, for the most part, art and post very infrequently, but I'm more active than I seem.

07. Which kit(s) are you applying for?
Exordiumkit

08. Why?
I love his design and I am looking for a new character. Also I had a good personality idea and I think it clicks with him.

09. What is their most alluring trait (ie. name, eye color, pattern, pelt color, etc.)?
Purple eye gene and the designs

10. Least alluring?
I would probably say the fact that the Furstar family tree is massive, I would have an issue finding a partner or friends that aren't related to them.

11. What do you like most in their design?
The colors are very interesting

12. Have you applied for other litters recently?
Yes, storybook litter and blueprint litter

13. If you win this kit and another kit, would you take this kit or that kit?
This kit, however I got backup for Storybook litter and I guess I feel an obligation to claim it in the off-chance that the owner gives the kit up

14. Do you currently have a tfcrp character?
No

15. If yes, who is your current character?
(None)

16. If yes, what is their rank?
(None)

17. If yes, what is their age (the younger they are, the less likely you are to win)?
(None)

18. If yes, do they have any family?
(None)

19. (If kits) If yes, how recently did they have/adopt their kits?
(None)

20. If yes, have they been alive for five weeks?
(None)

21. If yes, have you gone inactive with them or lost connection?
(None)

22. If yes, at what point in their life did you lose motivation/connection?
(None)

23. How long have you been roleplaying?
I have roleplayed IRL/offline since I was about 6, and online since 2019.

24. What roleplays have you been in?
GWMM (it was very small), TFCRP. Those are the main ones, I have been in a lot of others at varying points in time

25. Who are your characters?
I have no characters in any RPs currently, I am very selective with the rolepays I am active in.

26. Have you had a tfcrp character previously?
Yes

27. If yes, how many?
6

28. How long do you keep characters?
To at least the age of 20 moons

29. Are you prone to taking lots of mental health breaks?
No, I have taken only one before and it lasted three days. I also went through a roleplay restart of sorts recently, so I guess I'm coming back from that.

30. Do you tend to kill characters off quickly?
Somewhat

31. Injure them excessively?
No

32. How active are you (in roleplays/tfcrp and scratch as a whole)?
7/10, I check scratch at least three times per day

33. Have you read the rules for tfcrp and for this litter?
Yes

34. To prove it, please hide all the codewords (this litter & tfcrp) in a sentence or two.
I love picklse, but mushrooms are scry. Mangoes are better than both, and I like heather flowers.

35. How attached are you to the kit?
Quite attached

36. On a scale of 1-10, how excited would you be if you were chosen to roleplay this kit?
Probably 9/10

37. How dedicated are you to roleplaying?
Very, now is pretty much the first time I've taken a significant break from roleplaying since I joined Scratch

38. Would you make time to roleplay daily/weekly?
Yes

39. How much time (give as a range)?
30-60 minutes, more on weekends/holidays. Scratch is banned from my school laptops and network so I might not be able to reply as much as I want to, but I can say I will try to be in one roleplay thread at all times.

40. How long would you keep this kit (I /will/ hold you to this. And until this amount of time has passed, you will not own the design.)?
Probably at the very least 40 moons unless something comes up irl, which is extremely unlikely. I will keep him preferably until he is 60+ moons, or elder age.

41. What gender, sexuality, and pronouns would the kit(s) have?
Exordiumkit would be gay and male, going by he/him.

42. If not cisgender/straight, would you roleplay out the discovery?
I likely would, however nothing much as I find those kinds of roleplays somewhat easy to mess up, especially as a person without much experience with that.

43. Would you give the kit nicknames?
Yes, I like to give my characters nicknames

44. If so, what would they be?
Exo, Exor, etc.

45. Are you one to often rush through relationships with your characters?
No, but I don't tend to make long complicated relationships either.

46. What would your character look for in a mate/platonic mate?
Exordium would want a cat that he could rely on and trust, and find comfort in.

47. What would their eye-candy (mental and physical) be?
Exordiumkit would want a very trustworthy cat, someone they could rely on and confide him. Preferably someone like them but stronger and braver, however they won't specifically care as long as they are happy together.

48. Would you want them to adopt/parent kits later on in life?
Definitely, I have a lot of fun with kits and litters when roleplaying!

49. What would the kit's personality summary be?
Exordium would be kind, soft, and sweet, but also rather sensitive and close-minded. He would not want to leave his comfort zone and would fear the unexpected. He would be very empathetic and caring, but would be quite impressionable.

50. Extended?
(This will be very long, sorry)
Exordium:
Empathetic (+): Exordiumkit is very empathetic, almost to a point where he understands others more than he understands himself. He feels very bad when others are hurt, emotionally or physically, and may even put this blame on himself. However, he can have a hard time understanding emotions he does not have often, like rage or others llike that, though he tries his best.
Honest (+): Honesty is a big part of Exordium's morals, and when it comes to lying for a good cause he is very conflicted. Because of this he is very bad at keeping secrets, and while he will try his best to keep it, he won't flat-out lie. On a similar note, he would be an awful liar due to his guilt about the topic.
Obedient (+): Exordiumkit would much prefer to follow the rules. He likes to have a set of morals or rules to use at all times, and without them he would just feel lost. While he has no loyalty to his Clan, he follows the warrior code almost unquestioningly and thinks of StarClan as a higher, divine power, like it is portrayed in the actual books. He can be annoying for the extent that he follows the rules, as he refuses to do anything if it doesn't align with what the warrior code, StarClan, or other leading figures in his life say (like his father or his Clan leader)
Kind (+): Kindness, much like honesty, is something Exordiumkit would show an abundance of. He is quite caring and understanding to those around him, and will often excuse the actions of others. His compassion and obedience would make him easy to manipulate, and the thought of hurting others is appalling to him. He holds others to a much lower standard than he holds himself to and will unconsciously view other cats' actions in ways he would not view his own.
Shy (: Exordiumkit does not like loud spaces nor crowds. He is quite content being on his own or in a small group with cats he is close to rather than in a large area with many strangers, which would cause him to avoid Gatherings and other large social events like that. He does not like meeting new people, and generally keeps quiet if he is not meant to be an active part of the conversation. He succumbs easily to peer pressure, more to feel like he fits in and avoid being viewed as odd than for anything else.
Lighthearted (: Exordiumkit is very optimistic. He is happy most of the time and feels that negativity gets a cat nowhere, especially unprompted negativity. His cheerfulness can come off as annoying or ignorant at times, especially in cases where it does not fit the mood, things like a large negative event.
Forgetful (-): While not an awful trait by any means, Exordiumkit is prone to forgetfulness; he forgets names, places, and stories, though if he ever had kits he would try his best to remember his childhood tales to pass them on. His memory is exceptionally poor when it comes to unnecessary details, although he probably wouldn't notice them in the first place.
Low Self-esteem (-): Exordiumkit, as stated before, holds himself to higher standards than he holds others. Behavoirs that he passes off in others would appall him if they were his own. While he doesn't hate himself, he has somewhat of an inferiority complex, feeling insecure about his abilities and inadequate compared to other cats that he considers ‘better,’ or more capable.
Oblivious (-): Similar to his forgetful nature, Exordiumkit can be oblivious or even ignorant at times. He avoids conflict and other negative interactions or situations like that and will not leave his comfort zone, making him somewhat naive. His tendency to look on the bright side also causes him to forget or ignore the negative effects of his or others' actions
Bad under Pressure (-): Exordiumkit performs quite poorly under pressure. He gets stressed easily and, once the peace of his mind is broken, he can spiral into chaos. In situations where there is chaos and nothing to tell him what to do or how to fix it, Exordium quickly breaks down. He would be a bad leader as he prefers to have someone telling him what to, and the idea that there are hundreds of cats waiting on his command would be nerve-wracking for him.

51. Traits?
(Not sure what to put here-)

52. Their MBTI?
INFP-T

53. Enneagram?
9

54. Alignment?
Lawful Good

Phlegmatic

56. Would they be an introvert/extravert/ambivert?
Introvert, though he isn't completely averse to social interaction.

57. Are they more optimistic or pessimistic?
Optimistic

58. How truthful are they?
Exordiumkit feels obligated to tell the truth to others, so he is quite honest.

59. Do they function better or worse under pressure?
Exordiumkit will pretty much break down under any pressure, so no.

60. Do they tend to hold grudges?
He does not hold grudges, often because he rarely gets angry in the first place.

61. Are they a leader, a follower, or an enforcer?
Exordiumkit is definitely a follower.

62. Do they care more about the intention or the consequences of actions, theirs and others?
He values both, though mainly the intention.

63. Do they care how others see them?
Yes, he does

64. How do they want others to see them?
Positively, though he does not care much and prefers to avoid things like that which would cause conflict.

65. Does it vary based on the cat?
While he does want his family and other cats close to him to think of him highly, not particularly.

66. How do they see themselves?
He sees himself as generally lower than other cats.

67. Are they competitive?
Not at all, as he prefers to avoid conflict, and winning does not give him any happiness.

68. How competitive?
Not competitive.

69. How would they interact with their father?
He would look up to Shroomfly and want his father to like him, and therefore usually do what he is told, and would try his best to uphold a positive relationship with his father

70. Littermates and siblings?
He would also want his siblings to like him, too. He would probably act like the youngest even though all the kits are the same age, and would also attempt to have a good relationship with his siblings.

71. Extended family?
He would probably be friendly to his extended family, and would look up to them also.

72. Friends?
He would probably be casual and calm around his friends. He would treat his friends well, and would avoid causing any harm to them at all costs.

73. With other cats in their clan?
Exordium would be friendly, albiet a little shy, to the other cats in his Clan.

74. With leaders, medicine cats, and deputies (in their clan and in other clans)?
He would look up to the higher powers in the Clans with respect, but probably stay out of their way to avoid bothering them.

76. With warriors of other clans?
He would not be hostile unless pressured to, as he doesn't agree with the idea that the other Clans are his rivals, and would probably be friendly.

77. With queens and elders (their clan and other clans)?
Exordiumkit would treat queens and elders similarly to how he treats other cats in his Clan.

78. With kits and apprentices (their clan and other clans)?
With kits, depending on his age, he would act friendly and kind, but would avoid interacting with kits without asking the parent first due to how his first three moons were heavily monitored.

79. How would they feel about ShadowClan?
While he wouldn't have much Clan loyalty, Exordiumkit would feel pride and affection for his Clan and may even be a little defensive of it. He also loves the pine forest that ShadowClan (I'm not sure about the new territories but I think) is in.

80. The other clans?
He views the other Clans as neutral. He doesn't think of them as enemies nor as friends or allies, but would avoid fighting them at all cost, regardless of the Clan.

81. Loners/kittypets?
He doesn't think of them much. He views loners with pity as he believes it would be difficult to live without a leading force to follow and listen to. He doesn't view kittypets with disdain, but he doesn't respect him either. He thinks of their life, and kittypets in general, as boring.

82. What would their religion/belief system be?
He would likely beleive strongly in StarClan and the warrior code, and it would be comforting for him to know that there is a greater, higher power for him to follow.

83. What are their opinions on StarClan and the Dark Forest?
He would fear the Dark Forest but would likely have no or avoid, interactions with it. He regards StarClan as a higher power rather than his dead ancestors, more like a group of deities or gods than anything else, and he respects them greatly.

84. Would they ever try to run away?
Exordium would greatly prefer to have a leader or set of rules to follow. Without that he would probably feel lost and, unless there were a good motive for him to run away, he would not.

85. Where would they go?
He would either go to another Clan, join a loner group, or become a kittypet.

86. Why?
The idea of being without anyone or anything to guide him is scary to him and he hates being alone.

87. What would their goal(s) in life be?
He would generally aspire to be a respected figure, to have a positive impact on the Clans and a happy life. He is not an ambitious cat and would not want to be a leader, however he does not want to be forgotten once he dies.

88. What are their greatest fears?
Being alone and being hated are some

89. Would you want them to be medicine cat?
I wouldn't actively pursue the role for him, but I do think he would fit the role somewhat, and I wouldn't mind.

90. Would you want them to be evil/train in the dark forest?
No, he has no motives and, even if he did, the Dark Forest goes against pretty much everything he believes in.

91. What would be your reasoning for them being evil/training the in dark forest?
Probably being manipulated into thinking what he was doing is good, if he had to be a trainee.

92. At what point in their life would they be evil/train in the dark forest?
When he would be young and impressionable.

93. What do they think is the worst thing that could be done to a person/cat?
Being killed or being deeply emotionally/mentally scarred in a way that changes a cat far beyond their control.

94. What accessories would you give them?
Things that have meaning to him.

95. Would you give them twoleg items (toys or the like)?
Maybe, but it depends how he would get it, I wouldn't give it to him on a whim, probably.

96. Do you plan on giving them scars?
Only after major life events, like a war or a badger attack.

97. How many and/or how often?
Not many and not often at all.

98. Do you look into symbolism before giving the item as an accessory?
Yes, usually.

99. Would you give them any mental/physical disabilities?
No

100. If yes, what would they be?
(None)

101. If yes, please provide at least two links to credible research sites and a summary of what you learned, in your own words.
(None)

102. If yes, please provide a description of how you would roleplay their disabilities, and a sample roleplay touching on the disability.
(None)

103. Do they have pet peeves?
Yes

104. What are they?
He dislikes being ignored or interrupted, and hates bird noises and birds in general.

105. Do they tend to obsess over things?
Probably not

106. What things?
If he were to, it would be something like a toy, or a pet if one were allowed.

107. What are their likes and dislikes?
Likes: The stars, the moon, beautiful things, the ocean, shiny rocks, swimming, frogs, salamanders, pine trees, his family and friends, ShadowClan
Dislikes: Birds, feathers, violence, extreme temperatures, snow, death, being lost, loneliness, boredom, mud

108. Hobbies?
Exordiumkit would like collecting things - flowers, prey, and rocks - in his free time. He likes to climb trees to see how high he can go, and would also practice playing mossball, or even play it if he could find a second player.

109. General habits?
His ear tends to flick when he is nervous. He tends to avoid eye contact and fidget when he is lying or embarrassed, making it pretty easy to tell when he is telling the truth.

110. Bad habits?
He mutters a lot, making his words hard to hear. When he is hurt by something, he doesn't tell anyone and just bottles up his emotions in an unhealthy way. He avoids irritating people to a point in which he ends up hurting himself.

111. Theme songs?
I will decide more (if I get the kit, of course) as his life goes on and there is more to go off of

112. Voice claim (kit, apprentice, and elder voice claims are also encouraged, but not required!)?
Kit and apprentice voice claim: Sprig Planter (Amphibia)
Adult voiceclaim: Wybie Lovat (Coraline)
He would probably sound similar as an elder to what he would sound like as a warrior.

Yes

I don't have any way to make one, but I might if I get an account

121. thing to do,

He likes when the moon is full and illuminates the forest, as he finds it very beautiful.

136. activity,

141. butterfly,
Tiger swallowtails

142. toy,

Likely a relic or heirloom close to him, like an accessory or toy that has sentimental value.

156. If your character could ask a fortune teller one question, what would it be?
“What is my future?” probably, since curiosity would probably get the best of him.

157. If your character could be granted three wishes by a genie (with the guidelines of no love, no killing/raising from the dead, and no more wishes), what would they ask?
Peace, happiness for him and those he loves, and friendship between the Clans.

158. How long are your starters?
Two comments or so.

159. How long are your replies?
It depends, if it is a casual roleplay then likely around 300 characters, if it is important or major event, possibly multiple comments.

Like the reply length, it depends.

166. Please provide a roleplay starter sample from kithood, apprenticehood, and warriorhood, each 500 characters minimum.
Kithood: Exordiumkit laid on his stomach, paws over his ears. The shrill birdsong was especially loud this morning, and while some kits may have enjoyed it, he certaintly did not. He hated birds - he hated how they looked, sounded, and the texture of their weird feathers. Most mornings he could just tune it out and play, but today he was stuck in the nursery. It was greenleaf, and these were the few weeks where the sun would be at its sweltering hottest. With his layer of long, thick fur, Exordiumkit certaintly couldn't go outside now, and even doing an activity in the cool shade of the nursery carried the threat of overheating. Apparently, the birds loved this weather, making it even worse. Exordiumkit sat up and looked around for a corner of the nursery to hide in and play with a mossball. Or, maybe a friend to play with, if he got lucky, though he wasn't sure what they would do in this heat, and he would need permission and supervision from his father anyways. Suddenly, just when he was about to get up and walk towards an appealingly shady nook, he heard the sound of pawsteps on the floor of the nursery. He was five moons old and technically old enough to talk to cats he didn't know, but his father would need to be there to watch over them most of the time. Regardless, the kit cautiously turned around to greet the new cat.
Aprenticeship: It was a nice leaf-fall night. The crisp, cool air seemed so light you could almost float, and a nice calm breeze carried the beautiful scent of pine trees into the starlit camp. That was where Exordiumpaw was. Normally, he would be sleeping. He had looked forward to his first night in the apprentice den instead of the nursery, as just earlier today he had been made into an apprentice. But this night was too good to pass up and sleep through. It was almost perfect - the full moon shone down on the forest, illuminating the ground. It was early leaf-fall, and the few deciduous trees in ShadowClan territory had leaves that were turning brilliant shades of orange, red, brown, and even yellow. Plus, Exordiumpaw felt he couldn't get a blink of sleep with this much excitement in his veins. So now, he was heading into the forest to get a view of the stars, the territories, and maybe even the sunrise, if he could stay there long enough. But, as he was heading towards the exit to camp for the second time in his life, he realized a fatal flaw in his plan. He couldn't leave camp alone. He wasn't sure if it was a rule, but he simply didn't feel safe. This was the time when the animals that would soon go into hibernation for winter were beginning their desperate search for hoards of food, and for some animals, a cat like Exordiumpaw was food. So, he would need a partner to go into the forest with, but he wasn't sure who would want to go into the forest in the dead of night with a random apprentice, and he was somewhat afraid that that was a stupid question to even ask anybody, but regardless, he turned around and began to search camp.
Warriorhood (I'll use the suffix -spring for this): Senior warrior Exordiumspring was watching over camp this fine afternoon, from a rock some ways away from the clearing.. Snowflakes were falling from the sky, collecting on the frosty ground in drifts that the kits of ShadowClan would frolic in. Most cats would be enchanted. Exordiumspring was not. It wasn't a problem of warmth - he was plenty warm, with his long, fluffy fur to protect him from the elements. Rather, he just hated snow. It clung to your fur in clumps and melted into frigid water that soaked you, and it would take too long to dry off. Snow was so cold on his weathered paw-pads that it felt like claws sinking into his paws, until they went numb. It was one of the things in life that Exordiumspring truly hated in life, along with birds. That was the one good thing about leafbare, though, the fact that there were no birds. They had all migrated away, to warmer lands. He almost wished the Clans could do that, but something told him a journey like that would put too much strain on his old bones. But as snow began to gather on the rock, he realized that he couldn't sit there for longer if he wanted to stay away from snow. So he bounced down from the rock and bounded towards the warmth of the warriors den. While he was walking, he couldn't help but look up at the cloudy sky. Now that he thought of it, the clouds causing the snowfall were not fluffy and white - they were dark and brooding, and Exordiumspring wondered worridly about whether this storm would evolve into a blizzard. But he was quickly jolted away from his thoughts when he bumped into somebody. “Sorry!” he exclaimed instinctively, looking back to see who it was.

167. Do you have any questions or concerns about this litter?
Nope!

168. If you do, you may put them in the project or reach out to me privately and I will be happy to answer any and all inquiries.
Okay!

Hello Scratch Team. You have been pushing a liberal political agenda on this site for far too long. This site should stay out of politics. People should be able to still post their political opinions, but there shouldn’t be any “official” political stance or Scratch. The ST is not going to change this on their own, and shoot down any attempts asking them to change. Please put this in your signature if you agree that

Scratch should be politically neutral.

The ST’s biggest defense is that they’re being welcoming, but they can be perfectly welcoming of all people and stay out of politics. Scratch is about coding, and that should be the Scratch Team’s biggest concern to maintain.
