Brinestorm's Links
My father. He is dangerous, but has a strange optimism about him that I think goes... underappreciated. He's just so happy to be alive, whatever happens. He's been somewhere worse, with even less hope, even on our worst days.
My child, so successful! No one ever thought they'd do this well, mostly 'cuz they're mine, but look at them go!! Y'know, I wasn't BORN like this, right? You gotta... you know the whole, raising them thing. It only makes sense I did better, right?
Grandmother. Dad never has much of anything to say about her, and I think that may be able to be taken at face value. She didn't do anything; but that's exactly the problem, right? Parents are supposed to take action, not watch you get abused.
Grandchild, I wasn't alive to hear about.
Grandpa. Nooooobody liked him, from what I've gathered. Some kind of 'super' villain. Sure. I get those alllll the time. The worst thing he ever did was whatever the fuck he did to my dad to make him... the way that he was. There's some dark shit hidden there.
Grandchild. What were the odds of my son finding someone stupid enough to birth his kits?
My great-aunt. I seek to improve her methods, now that she's passed on. I can't really say that out loud, it'd probably catch some heat from the Lunarstar fans in the ranks, not to mention Lunarstar herself. I hope the others know my intent though.
My brother's grandchild. They're surprisingly capable, even more so than most cats. They've already learned though that even good ideas can go wrong. There is no practicing when it comes to this sort of thing, dear.
First cousin twice removed. He doesn't seem like much, but he's got nerves of steel. His silly façade somehow, through the power of conviction, became real. Congratulations, Banethroat. You're a certified himbo.
First cousin twice removed. How do they always seem to know what they're doing?! I can barely look composed for a few minutes, let alone pretty much every day for years. Do you suppose if I did, Stag would make me deputy? LOL.
Second cousin once removed. Can't argue with survival of the fittest, even if it argues with you. Me, I don't think Timberstar will actually do anything to the kits, at least not unprompted. She has no reason to... for now.
Second cousin once removed. They're a big deal, I guess. So how this all works is that you've gotta be deputy first so that you can be leader later. So are they just waiting for grandma Russet to die so they can take over?
Second cousins. Coyote is a clown, but she's very open-minded, so training under her actually gave me a lot of room to think. We have very different philosophies, maybe even more fundamentally different than I thought.
Second cousins, and! I mentored them. That's right. Me, Coyotespring, mentored Brinestorm. Surprising? All our greatest stories are matched with disgraces; everyone that got them to where they are won't be looked on with such reverence.
Second cousins. I think she'll be a fearsome warrior, if she survives. Vicious cats can come from difficult circumstances. Unfortunately, she is not ours, and we cannot count on her feeling any loyalty to us. Keep an eye on this one.
Second cousins. I feel bad that a bunch of their family died too... This whole thing is a mess. And as far as cats wanting revenge go, Brinestorm would be one of the biggest threats. Not as strong as Timberstar, but sharper.
Adoptive first cousin once removed. I... feel bad for him. I feel like if I ever want to unpack what my dad's upbringing was like, I'd probably want to talk to Deadsplash about it first. I think he knows, and had some of the same.
Adoptive first cousin once removed. I don't know how to function; something they seem surprisingly capable of, especially given their upbringing. Don't get too proud of yourself, Tidal, I raised a sensible kid once too.
First cousin once removed. She's more hostile than she seems. I suppose that is good. Better the veiled hostility than outright starting border skirmishes. As for LunarClan internal hostility... better keep us on our toes.
First cousin once removed... Their attack plan ruined my life, but... it might be my fault they knew we were coming. They haven't spoken much about it, so I'm assuming we just... blame Timber for the whole thing. We'll get her next time.
First cousin once removed. He is a loud boy. Good for him. I have a headache now though, I'm afraid... He often was a babysitter to my kits. He is very strange, but in some regards, is a very trustworthy warrior. He would not hurt anyone on purpose.
First cousin once removed. They're a nerd! The good kind! I am not sure what the bad kind is, evil geniuses are not exactly our primary export. We have more of a 'mostly competent' to 'absolute buffoon' villain range.
Adoptive second cousin, he seems grumpy, but he knows what he's talking about. He's an old friend of Russetstar's, and on the inner circle of SolarClan. I wouldn't be surprised if that had something to do with SolarClan continuing to tolerate us.
Adoptive second cousin. Good pick for deputy, they seem to think things over and not come up with absurd ideas. Look out though, I know how this deputy thing works. When Russet retires, she'll replace herself with one of us. Ha.
Adoptive second cousin once removed. Sometimes I wonder just how many cats out there are hiding a secret power like I am. I know of a few, but it's hard to believe Tinypath's the only one in SolarClan if there were a few here.
Adoptive second cousin once removed. They seem... really capable... unlike me... I wonder who in the other clans have a special ability like Tinypath and I... it would be presumptuous to think we're the only ones, for sure...
Adoptive second cousin... Coyote's brother. He'd just kind of be there to hang out with her sometimes. Guess I can't blame him. Dying a baby genius kind of doesn't give you a lot of options to feel like you have a place.
Adoptive second cousin. They have potential as a usurper, but instead, I think they will be the leader. You see, you can be both, but never at the same time. You gotta usurp leaders, but when you do, do you become one? Or do you leave?
Sister-in-law. She seems cool enough, I think she'll take care of my brother... He does need to be taken care of a bit, after all. Most cats do. Now, how the medicine cat fits into all of this... well, that is none of my business.
Sibling-in-law. They're like... a weird superhero. Ripple misses them more than the rest of his family. They got a lot of sibling drama, and I guess we can relate with Cinder's bullshit... So good siblings like Brine and Tiny are appreciated!
First cousin once removed. They're one of the warriors of the clan. That's most of what anyone knows about Weird Egg. Now, what the information-savvy deputy, life-long clanmate, and cousin knows? ... Is about the same.
First cousin once removed. They are going through alot. Pretty cool cat
Adoptive second cousin once removed. That's a SolarClan, no, ShadeClan, right... Most LunarClanners don't give much thought to ShadeClan, but we need to keep an eye on them. They could still be a threat or asset as an ally to another clan.
Adoptive second cousin once removed.
They seem dope
Second cousin once removed. I hear BraveClan got a lot of kits this season... Well, LunarClan wouldn't have any, because they all moved from LunarClan. ... Oh what? We are have three more litters? Seriously? Back in the game, then.
Second cousin once removed.
Adoptive second cousin. Perhaps he has some interesting stories. He was found out in the city when Rippleslash had gone missing. I do not think Deadsplash expected to see his return, let alone his becoming a warrior.
Adoptive second cousin, they seem alright
My brother, and the only sibling I actually got along with. He ended up leaving to be with SolarClanners while Timberstar was causing problems here. I hope he's happier now... I'd like to allow him a visit, but that may appear as favoritism.
Sister/Sibling
She is my favorite sibling. We get along the best out of the.... 9? Of us
Adoptive second cousin once removed. Leadership already? Cougarheart had better help him out a lot. Leadership is about making well-informed, supported decisions on behalf of those you want to trust you... and dealing with the consequences, whatever they may be.
Adoptive second cousin once removed. They would have probably made a better leader than me
Adoptive step-second cousin once removed. He's a warrior of the clan, and a decent one at that. Apparently he joined because his father tried to make his siblings warriors for... failing to win a fight against me. I am... flattered.
Adoptive step-second cousin once removed. Father tried to make Harrier and Grouse warriors after fighting them and loosing. Not their fault my father was a moron.
She was on my team, fighting the Place of No Stars. She died... I know I shouldn't feel guilty, but I do. I was their leader. Seeing her unable to wake up was one of the most awful things I've had to experience in my whole life.
Teammate. They were so strong and brave I wanted to be as strong as they were but it got me killed. Not Brinestorm's fault.
We have the same power. He was kind enough to retrieve me and Lion after we'd gotten left behind in the Place of No Stars. He replaced Tattered, when she was killed... No one replaced Lion. I think our quest is over...
Same power. I had to replace Tatteredsoul.... It hurt.
Younger sister. It appears that we are on opposing sides from here on. Oh well. If we have to fight, I hope dad is not watching; I would rather not upset him. TempestClan, more specifically Timberstar, is my number one enemy.
Older sister. Sorry, I believe in Timberstar's philosophy.
