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!

badgerstar is a massive, heavyset tom with remarkably large paws, befitting the prefix "badger". his thick smokey coat is patchy, parted by the battlescars littering his body. his build is bulky but stout, making him look a bit top heavy. the grizzly tom's broad snout is flecked with greying hairs and his whiskers are disheveled. even though he is visibly aged, his features remain bold and well defined, giving him a handsomely roguish face, complimented by his strong frame. badgerstar's eyes are reprimanding and tired, as though he hasn't seen a wink of sleep in moons. they are glassy and vacant, an cloud of sorrow trapped under their translucent orbs. he seems unhappy, saddened by the negativity around him. even his gait drags with a miserable limp. his pelt is a sooty grey, stippled with silvery white; rather dull, like dark storm clouds rolling over a stark sky.

badgerstar is not a very approachable cat. his sour attitude and volatile temper makes sure of that. the old tom could be calmly talking to you one moment and yelling at you the next. in general he's not a very pleasant person to be around, meaning he lacks 'friends' per say. he's well respected as a leader, though his social life is absent. his only real relations are his children [and starclan knows they don't like him very much..]. for most of his life he's been fairly lonesome and after the tragedy resulting in the untimely death of his mate, he's further isolated himself. he's very specific about how long he strays away from his den, he can only take so much "interaction" before getting cranky. the poor tom hasn't had a decent bit of rest in ages. when the rest of clan is usually sleeping, his hours are spent anxiously anticipating something to go wrong. the things he genuinely cares about could depend on a spur of the moment and not a soul is there to accompany him through the restless night. despite his flaws, badgerstar is still a good character at heart. he's honest, courageous and the love for his clan is endless. all he really needs to let those shine through his rugged outer exterior is someone that would love him back. [break][break] his life has been plagued by tragedy, making him anxious for whatever fate might bestow him. perhaps it was just a stroke of bad luck and nothing more. or, if you are a bit more superstitious; perhaps all of starclan's wrath rubbed off on one cat. imagine asking yourself "what comes next?" everyday, in fear that your bad karma hadn't yet had it's way. and to add to that having seen the extent of nature's grand carnage. it has driven badgerstar nearly mad. his misfortune has harassed him since he were but a wee kit; eyes swollen and pink; pawing at a queen's belly for warmth and milk. his mother a fairly faithful, though 'ocassionally' her lechery decieved her and she found herself falling into affairs with the other young toms in the clan. it became a problem, in fact and it certainly did not stay private forever. gossip fell upon eager ears and spread quickly. the fathering tom was no fool, he had known his mate had been untrue to him, but it worked in his favor. he too did not wish to be tethered to one relationship during the prime of his life and when the badgerkit's litter was born, he denied the kits were his, claiming they could have been any toms. his mother was distraught. she had bore kits she did not want, so she forsook them, peddling them off to another queen. he was reared feeling unwanted and alone. it did not end there, however. the next disaster happening later in his life as badgertooth, when he had finally found his passion; an alluring young molly who he shared his heart with. they were smitten immidiately. he was overjoyed when he had been told they were expecting kittens. certainly nothing could come between this? as though starclan was listening, misfortune followed soon after. the first litter failed to even make it through birth. this destroyed badgertooth and even though eventually they gave life to three healthy young kits, he could never bring himself to love them like his own. he emotionally abandoned them, like his mother forsook him. as they aged and he with them, badgertooth realized his selfishness. he wondered how awful he was and what had truly made him so bitter. was it his own denial or was it something else to blame? once more, fate disfavored him. badgertooth lead a patrol, accompanied by his mate and their apprentices. it was at this time that the influx of heavy rain was beginning to intensify and floods began to rise. an unfortunate turn of events ended up in badgertooth's mate being washed away by the rapids as she was pursuing a squirrel. as he chased her body down the river, helpless to save her, she collided into a rock, her head slamming against it's jagged outcropping. her lifeless corpse disappeared under the turbulent currents. he returned to his clan and his kin with the news. his children ridiculed him, arguing that he had the power to prevent her death. perhaps they convinced him to even believe it himself.
