Staff talk, like potential changes to the site, problematic members, and so on all go in here. It's not for just anyone's eyes, though, so you probably won't see it. Unless you're staff of course.
All events that occur within character and to large groups, such as trecharous storms or battles between clans (not simple border skirmishes), will be posted here. In most cases, these will be spanning multiple topics and multiple angles. For weather-related events, it will affect all cats in the given area. For battles and other such things, if you don't want to take part you don't have to.
Just about as important as the stuff up above. The only difference is, this stuff is things such as, changes to the site you should look at, or the opening of a staff position. It's highly suggested you keep up with this stuff, too, just in case it affects you.
In short, anything that doesn't fit into the other categories can go here. Debates, sharing of pictures, rants, raves... Anything and everything. Use it. Abuse it. Just don't spam it, alright?
Any questions about the site or suggestions on how to improve it should be placed here to be looked at and answered/commented on by staff and members. Guest friendly!
Are you a new member, maybe? Would you like to say hello? Well, you can come do that in this board right here, if you like! I'm sure many of the members will stop by, drop a quick hello right back. Or were you planning going on a vacation for a bit? Well, you can post that here too, and just let us know so we don't label you as inactive or anything.
If you'd like to advertise that lovely little site of yours, you come here and only here. We don't really have many rules. If you post twice, we'll post twice, end of story. Of course, don't take this and post five times in the same day. A month or two apart is fine, though, or an accidental re-post. Affiliates must have our banner up, but ads need only have a guest-friendly advertising board. Guest friendly!
If you wish to find someone to make you a picture for your cat, or you want to offer to make pictures for people, post here. If you want, you can make a topic as a graphics shop. If we get enough of them, they’ll have their own sub-board.
All finished or dead topics will be moved here to keep clutter off the boards. This will be done on a monthly basis, as needed. If you need a topic back, just message a staff member and they’ll get right on it.

To make a character, you fill out the form inside and post it in the board. A staff member will look it over and either ask you to change something or accept it and move it into the appropriate sub-board in the accepted section.
All accepted characters will be moved here and sorted into the appropriate sub-board. Once your application is moved here or there is a reply to it stating that it is accepted, you may start roleplaying.
A record of all cats within a clan and their position will be stored here. They will be updated regularly, but if your cat's position, mentor, or number of lives (in the case of leaders) changes, please feel free to message a staff member or post in the appropriate roster thread.
Any player may put their characters up for adoption here, including kits from litters or cats they no longer have use for. Any members who get deleted will have their characters moved here, with any of their high ranking felines being demoted to warrior status. Kitting is found in here as well.
If you would like to keep track of all your characters in a single place, you’re welcome to make a topic here. However, please keep it to one topic with all your characters within it. You can post as many times as you like in that topic and you can organize the record however you want, though.
If you have any plot ideas, or you want to find people to form plots with, then this is the perfect place. Plot ideas, even as big as site wide, are welcome to be posted up – honestly, we’re all in this together, so if you have a neat idea for the site and everyone else likes it to, we’ll probably implement it.

Based along the edge of the lake, on a point of land bordered by the two widest rivers, sits the camp of tigerclan. There is a rather large, fallen trunk that serves as the main blockade for the nursery, while the rest of the clan cats make their own dens or sleep up in the branches of the trees to stay away from most dangers.
The territory is mostly dense trees and shrubs, though there are plenty of small clearings for sun bathing scattered throughout the trees. There is a lake in the center, from which many rivers flow, all of which weave through the territory. The waters are filled with fish, though they aren’t always particularly big.
lionclan
want something beautiful to touch me, i know that i'm in reach, cause i am down on my knees, i'm waiting for something
A particularly rocky section of terrain has been made the camp of lionclan and the trees surrounding the rocks provide for shade during the day. There isn’t much shelter, but at night the rocks hide the clan members and some can even be mistaken for the sleeping form of cats, allowing for decent cover.
Lionclan territory is mostly grassland, though it tends to be rocky. There are trees scattered throughout the grassland, being a bit more plentiful near the tigerclan border and a bit sparser near the cheetahclan border. The prey can be scarce, so the clan scavenges on occasion.
leopardclan
beautiful and the water is rising quick and for years i was scared of it, we can't be sure when it will subside, so i won't
Off in a far corner of the forest, there is a small valley that is used as the leopardclan camp. They have climbed the trees and woven some of the branches together to guard up high. Branches that fall are used to build walls and dens to keep the camp safe and to provide cover for the clan members to sleep under.
The leopardclan territory is fairly diverse. The border shared with cheetahclan is the edge of a prairie land, and it slowly get covered by more trees. The habitat transitions into a full-out forest, particularly near the border with tigerclan. If you follow the tigerclan-leopardclan border away from the single corner where all four clan boundaries meet, you will come upon the starcavern.
cheetahclan
leave your side, no i can't leave your side, hey now, this is my desire, consume me like a fire, cause i just want
The cheetahclan camp is more like a designated spot in the large prairie that they have claimed for their own. It is open and exposed, and it isn’t uncommon for a couple of warriors and their apprentices to be guarding the camp at night, seeing as there is no sort of way for them to guard the camp otherwise.
The territory is solely a large section of prairie land. The vegetation is primarily grasses and herbs, though there are some shrubs and a couple trees here and there for shade. The prey is plentiful, if you can catch it, and much of it is too fast for the other clans to catch, let alone bother with. It shares a border with lionclan and leopardclan.

The Moonlit Clearing is where gatherings are held every full moon. The trees part and lean away from the clearing to let the moonlight in, where it baths the whole clearing. A large rock juts out from the Tigerclan and Leopardclan border, and works as the leader's perch. It is known as the Clanrock, even though the gatherings are no longer held.
A pitch black tunnel runs alongside a river, and the water pools in a cavern that has small holes all over the top, making it appear to have stars in the water. The clan cats come here to speak with Starclan. The water, of course, would overflow if there wasn't a way out, but no one knows where it flows out to, though many have tried to find the exit.
All land surrounding the clan territories is found here. There is lots of it, and much of it is claimed by small groups of other large cats, such as lynxes and snow leopards. It’s varied, as it is very vast, and includes a bit of just about every type of terrain, from mountain ranges to the tundra.
Split into two halves, light and dark, the afterlife is home to both starclan and nightclan. The two simply don't cross paths as far as anyone is aware, and if they must, they keep the interaction to a minimum. Good and evil don't often mix, after all.

Something Beautiful is an intermediate, literate big cat roleplaying game based around the Warriors books by Erin Hunter. It is only semi-realistic, as it is based millions of years in the future on the supercontinent novopangaea, but it assumes that the general animal population has not shifted in any drastic way. There are no twolegs, or even any hint that they were ever there, and so the four clans are left on their own Currently, the clans only consist of Tigerclan, Lionclan, Leopardclan and Cheetahclan, however other clans may be found and other large cat breeds are allowed as loners and rogues. If you're interested, feel free to join up or hang around in the chatbox for a bit. We don't bite :)
Coded in Firefox, so presumably viewed best in it. Can be viewed in Google Chrome or Safari, with no reported issues yet. Internet explorer is not suggested. It does not work well with posting tables or the image map, nor does it allow the PM bar to follow as you scroll like it should. Everything else is compatible, as far as we are aware. Please alert us to any issues in the questions and suggestions board, as it is guest friendly.
Hatter "Rain and I wouldn't be here if it wasn't for Hatter. She's been so helpful with everything, from plots, to tables, to just being there to talk to. She's a coolcat." - bee
Poi "Little Poi is always here, lurking, posting, or chatting. She’s lovingly active, and a person that is just generally really easy to get along with." - Hatter
Crimsonfire/star "He’s so stubborn. Seriously. He’s also hot-headed, ambitious, driven, and a little bit self-centered. Oh well- he makes everything interesting. Poor guy, having to jump into the leadership chair so suddenly." - Hatter
Dawnflower "She's so shattered and broken -- and she seems so real and alive because she struggles. She faces the challenges that come to her and is loyal to her clan above all else. It's a solid thing to go against your family, even if they are evil." - alice?!
Snowstorm && Crimsonfire/star "Is it just me, or is the way they hate each other totally hilarious? It kind of makes me wonder, what does happen when an unstoppable force meats an immovable object?" - whiskurz
"You'd Know My Heart if You Knew My Place" - Crimsonfire && Snowstorm "This has been one of the most active threads recently, and it's very fun reading the action." - Poi
"...it's your duty to teach me. So teach me." - Monarchpaw to Dawnflower
