Cat Name: Carpsplash
Clan: Riverclan
What would you do with this position: Story Telling. Oh boy, do I have some lore for you! This character will have lived since the reign of Ivystar... the first. Nearing his final stages of life, he has vowed to be the perfect embodiment of a clan elder. Elder man will be there for all your daily gripes and complaints like how back in his day Skyclan would have never been stuffed into their camp, or even know where it was. Additionally, he will be there for kit topics, apprentice topics, and advice. Heck, maybe Ivystar could even use some chiding (or wisdom) from ye old man every now and then. I would plan involved him in fun little topics, nothing super plot heavy or crazy. More engagement for kits or just a little light thing here up until dying a peaceful death.
Why do you deserve this position: I think the biggest seller here is all the genuine firsthand knowledge I have. Elders are known as the storytellers of the clan, those who pass down history, and I could most certainly fulfill that.
Important Notes/Backstory: Parents fought (as NPCs) in the Windclan vs Riverclan battle, so he has knowledge from even before. Lived through lots of major WCC Riverclan events. Distant relative of Fishstar herself. Poor eyesight but can see well enough, starting to lose his hearing as well and often talks to loudly or asks others to speak up. Complains about joint pain often and can be found in the medicine cat den when not in the elder's den.
Carp was born during Ivystar's reign as leader. His mother was killed by a snapping turtle and his father lived to old age. He was raised with a great sense of clan pride and sought to do everything he could to serve the clan. Once, he fell in love with a she-cat of another clan -Thunderclan- around the time of the dispute over Sunningrocks. He never pursued the relationship and further withdrew from clan friendships when a Riverclan apprentice was killed in the battle. At some point, Carpsplash fell in love with a late Riverclan tom named Dartfoot, who has long sense passed. Having never had kits of his own, he is resigned to tell tales to the clan's kits and despite his prickly personality, loves them as his own.
