Paean is a semi-literate Warriors roleplaying site with an emphasis on depth of character and effective plotting, set in a new territory with the four original Clans. It was orignially created in September 2016, and has experienced many different iterations. Paean once featured three tribes-- who may or may not return-- and a whole lot of worldbuilding; it is our hope that its newest form delivers in terms of quality!
We offer a detailed history, frequent plots and plenty of character-- all at After Dawn hope to see you join!

✎ backstory
when he was little, songkit had been a pain in the rump. he would get into trouble, purposefully sneaking away from his mother, willowbranch, to annoy other warriors. as a kit, the tabby tom was playful, loving, and happy, like most kits are. his sibling was usually paid no mind to, most of the time. after he reached the age of six moons, the current medicine cat had chosen him to be their apprentice. he was shocked, really. why him? yes, songpaw had shown an interest in herbs and their uses, but he didn’t want to be given the task of helping to care for the clan. however, he accepted it, and soon began his training. his sibling had gotten their full name before him. he became envious at that, having always dreamed of having a perfect warrior life, as most clan cats. at this time, he had begun to grow more bitter and blunt with everything, often times sitting alone and snapping at anyone who came close to him. his mentor was disappointed in his behavior, but he did not change. it only became worse, in fact. songpaw learned multiple swear words, primarily from listening to his father in the time they shared. willowbranch had gotten greencough two moons after he had become an apprentice, dying from her illness. this caused more anger for the tom. he got angry at anything that brought him even the slightest bit of annoyance. this made others tend to stay away from him in fear of setting him off on a yelling spree. by the time he earned his full medicine cat name of songthorn, he had barely any friends. everyone that he had become friends with while he was young were unable to be close to him without him being an asshole. this caused songthorn to cut himself off from others, heightening his selfishness. but, as this all happened, he also realized his sexuality, and despite being a medicine cat, accepted that he was attracted to toms. his father had now passed away from unknown causes at this point in time, leaving songthorn with nothing. he would talk with his sibling, but they had both grown away from each other and only interacted when his sibling needed healing. as time passed, putting songthorn at the age of twenty-two moons, he tried to manage his temper. he had barely succeeded, but was able to calm it enough to not snap at everything. he found himself being lost in his own thoughts, dreaming of his life outside of the medicine den, with a mate, living happily. but, of course, that’s simply a dream. it caused songthorn to quickly become hateful towards his romantic, dreamy personality, closing himself off again. as he did this, he also began to grow more physical, especially with those he was infatuated with. he would find different ways to get near them and to check if they were injured in any way simply to touch them. this faltered a little, however, as it made others uncomfortable and annoyed. after another moon, songthorn managed to be happy, doing his job and actually interacting with the clan as he pushed all his problems aside. until the flood came and killed his mentor, giving him the job of the actual medicine cat. and now with the stress bearing down and making him more short-tempered than ever, it's back to square one.
