GENS | the search for truth

Instructions

| this is a complete guide to the reforms and coralpaw’s way of life | "have you ever felt like you were dreaming?" “I do not wish to open my eyes... for it will shatter my dreams...” “I’ve always wished to unravel the truth…” - - - - - press flag to begin the interaction. the interaction is required you read before I explain my plans in detail. when the interaction has ended, you may commence. coralpaw was born and raised in urchinclan, but she never felt satisfied simply accepting the world as it was. even as a kit, she was fascinated by the beauty of nature, healing, and the countless mysteries she yearned to answer and explore. … before learning of starclan and the divine beings that shaped the earth, coralpaw already believed that the world must have been created with purpose. the plants, the forest, the stars, cats as a whole- surely none of it existed by accident…! and yet, there was never really too much train of thought into it, for he was merely a kit. … as coralpaw grows into an apprentice, she begins to fear the future laid out before her. while other apprentices eagerly train to become rangers and soon warriors, it sees a life of patrols, borders, and battles stretching endlessly ahead of it. to them, that future feels hollow. they worries that she will become little more than a weapon for her clan, forced to abandon the virtues she values most: understanding, curiosity, compassion, and knowledge. and this growing dissatisfaction develops into a spiritual hunger. … coralpaw becomes obsessed with finding Truth, a concept she holds dearly. to her, Truth is not a deity itself, but a sacred force that guides the nature of felinekind, understanding, honesty, existence, and self-discovery. she believes that Truth is used by starclan as an instrument, and has a set of beliefs that revolve around Truth, being: - only Truth grants true Freedom - nothing is complete without Truth - only Truth alone holds the answers to the universe … basically, coral finds this out when she encases herself away from her clan and journeys far into the unclaimed territories, only to find the star’s guardians. she welcomes herself among their ranks. now, for the original ramble. this mostly summarizes all of this in a few short sentences, but this is why coralpaw joins the star’s guardians while on her search for truth and how they benefit her search. it basically restates all of the above but in one ramble: coral, growing up in urchinclan, was never aware of starclan or the beings above. she simply believed that everything was created for a purpose, and created by someone.. but now that she is an apprentice, she yearns for the truth. and coral believes that by encasing herself far away from her clan, away from everything she’s ever known and seeking truth, she will find true freedom. joining the star’s guardians will set her on her path to find this truth, introducing her to starclan and these heavenly beings. coral will dedicate herself to this truth that starclan is superior over all, which motivates her to travel around and guide others towards the truth as well. as a cat who is hungry for knowledge, coral believes that the truth will set everyone free. knowing starclan will promise true happiness. I’m planning for her to go on a traveling arc, which will be heavily influenced by [ pure vanilla cookie’s blind healer arc and also white lily cookie’s search for freedom ] in which she goes around spreading the truth, but seeing as her group is also founded by a former medic, this will cause her to also feel like she fits in as she was never encouraged to pursue her curiosity for nature, the way of life, and the study of the world around her. coral believes that all of this is granted to the forest by starclan alone, and she would blindly follow them whenever. … anyways I’m very excited to get into this stage of life with coral! the plan is for her to go around, traveling different clans while spreading the Truth, sort of like a missionary. she’ll become a loner and reside happily near star’s mouth, quenching her burn for knowledge. she still upholds her caring spirit, and she’ll almost be like a traveling healer if that makes sense (if I can obtain the sheep quickly enough) so yeppers! coral will also help out in hunting and patrolling for other clans that may need it! thank you for reading this! if you would like your cat to potentially hear about coral’s beliefs, offer them here! she would be glad to spread her Truth and her reflection on starclan wherever she goes, or just have a friendly conversation with them! - - - - - “The truth always prevails.”
