All art by @RedRain_WhiteFlower! Welcome to "Shaded", a parented, selective Under the Mycellium litter! These kits will be going to WhisperClan and will be parented by my OC, Regalcrest, who will have had them biologically with an NPC surrogate. They will be registered at four moons. Trigger warning for caps throughout, thank you. :) Table of Contents: i. Rules ii. Backstory iii. Parenting Style iv. Kits + Form RULES: - Please don't apply if you're bigoted, meaning something like homophobic or racist. - No changing AGAB, though you may make them transgender. - Follow UTM's general rules. - If I require research, do the research thoroughly! I'll give you two chances but if I feel uncomfortable giving you the kit (meaning you don’t go in-depth enough), you'll be disqualified. Also, if research is suggested, it means that it's something I'm considering adding, so it's a good idea to do it. - Please type with proper grammar (or as close as you can get) and with the understanding that I will be extremely picky with these kittos. - Please be active if you win/only apply if you can be active with them. - Only apply if you won't kiIl them off purposefully. If it's an accident/wasn't intentional, that is fine, but do not apply if you will off them because of boredom. -You MUST apply by remix and/or forum, so that I can track them easily. BACKSTORY: Regalcrest was padding through WhisperClan's territory, thoughts drifting to her shop every few steps... She shook her head, trying to focus on hunting. Gaze alighting on a mouse. She crouched, stalking closer… the mouse startled, and Regal straightened, irritated. Then she saw the crimson bathing the ground. She paused, dipping her muzzle to study the swampy earth. And her heart dropped at the sight of her mate's lovely dark gray thundercloud fur dyed crimson, a paw outstretched, brushing the ground outside of his moss nest. Regal took a step back, ears flattening in shock, azure eyes locking on the wanderer's cloudy amber. His dark gray and white bicolor pelt gleamed darkly with crimson the same shade as her tailtip. Then something moved at his side and she remembered their kits. Quickly nosing her way past Wraith's body, she moved him aside and revealed her three kits. Two were asleep. The last was waking, blinking large amber eyes at her. Regalcrest hushed it and covered its eyes, whispering for it go back to sleep. When it did, she quietly moved to bury Wraith, silent tears dripping to the already-wet ground and mixing with his crimson. Turning back to her kits, she gathered them in her paws, resolving to take them back to WhisperClan. For now, they would never leave the bounds of the forest, like Wraith had so desired. PARENTING STYLE: Regalcrest - Regalcrest is a WhisperClan shopkeeper. She doesn't care for kits--she had them at Wraith’s request--but she'll keep them. She's a confident, prideful cat obsessed with her appearance and reputation. Regal will encourage her kits to do their best in life and gift them small trinkets on occasion. However, they are not her first priority, and she’ll focus on her shop over them. She’ll take care of her kits enough to keep them alive, not necessarily because she wants them. Regalcrest will pick favorites, her favorites receiving more attention. Since she chooses based on appearance--especially in the beginning--they will be Lightning, Enamel, and Phantom. KITS Enamel || AFAB || Over stalks the oldest of the three, a small she-cat with a height of eight inches. Her white-tufted ears twitch in greeting, the orange swirling her chest, foreshoulders, and white tailtip standing out against her dark gray and black pelt. Her azure eyes rove over you for a moment, then she turns away. || Enamel is named for the protection the two will provide her kits. || Research for selective mutism suggested || 9/10 || Given to Phantom || AFAB || Behind Enamel walks a she-cat shaded in grays and whites, amber bursts of color streaking her fur. She stands at a full height of ten inches, and her tail is painted in the same amber-red color, a faint smile gracing her muzzle. || She was named for Wraith’s wandering nature. || Research for PTSD (triggered by coyotes) required || 8/10 || Given to Lightning || AFAB || Lastly, her full height of fourteen inches, is the youngest kit. Her white base pelt and black paws are a close match to Regal’s, as are her amber-crimson features. || Lightning was named for Regal’s quick temper and color. || Research for anger issues suggested || 9-10/10 || Given to FORM Username || About you || Kit you’re applying for || Activity || Roleplay history || Kit gender, pronouns, sexuality || Kit’s personality (at least two positives and negatives, must be equal) || Why that kit, why you should win || Research || Other Starting date: July 29th Closing: August 23rd (extended twice) Results: August 23rd if not the 24th
