Sect Specialties

What Are Specialties?

Many cats have specialties- a job that a cat does often and well. Specialties come about for a variety of reasons; out of enjoyment of a specific task, simply because a cat does a task very well and therefore keeps getting assigned to do it, or because they have specific skills and/or abilities that make them great at some tasks and not-so-good at others. Specialties are like unofficial sub-ranks. There is no ceremony, but everyone in Thunder Sect knows that Commonclaw is a patrol specialist. A cat can specialize in numerous things at once; there's no limit to how many specialties they can have since it's all about their skills.

.　 . • ☆ . ° .• °:. *₊ ° . ☆

Multi-Rank Specialties

Mentoring Some cats gravitate towards teaching. They spend more time with kittens, teaching them history or the codes, and they often volunteer to take on another apprentice or teach a Clanmate's apprentice when they're sick or injured.

Camp Keeping Camp keepers are the cats who spend time building dens and nests, keeping the camp clean and organized, and making sure the camp is well-defended.

.　 . • ☆ . ° .• °:. *₊ ° . ☆

Warrior Specialties

Patrolling Patrol specialists are cats with high stamina who know how to pace themselves.

Hunting Hunting specialists are particularly skilled at stealth. They excel at the hunt itself instead of or alongside setting traps.

Messaging Messengers are the swiftest of the swift, and they're the ones who are most likely to be sent across the territory with important information.

.　 . • ☆ . ° .• °:. *₊ ° . ☆

Healer Specialties

Medic Medics are healers who excel at thinking on the fly with limited medicinal supplies. They're often taken on patrols in case of border skirmishes or encounters with predators, and they're a great amount of help on battlefields.

.　 . • ☆ . ° .• °:. *₊ ° . ☆

Sect-Specific Specialties

Trapping • Warrior Specialty • Shadow, River, & Wind Sects Trappers are skilled at both creating and setting traps. Thunder Sect believes that trapping is undignified and undermines the natural skill cats have in hunting; you will never catch a Thunderian making or setting any traps.

Gardening • Multi-Rank • Thunder Sect While almost all Thunderians garden, some seem to have a particular skill in it.

Swimming • Warrior Specialty • Shadow Sect As the Shadow Sect makes their home in a marsh, swimming is a skill that all Shadowers have at least a basic understanding of. Some Shadowers even enjoy swimming, and employ this specialty to hunt things like turtles!

Fishing • Warrior Specialty • Shadow Sect Fishing isn't a popular specialty in the Shadow Sect. Whereas in the River Sect it's a part of daily life, Shadowers tend to prefer other prey, like birds and lizards.

Artisans • Multi-Rank • River Sect Artisans are Riverish who are particularly skilled in pottery. They know where to find the best clay, how to mold it into the shape they want, how to paint and carve images into the pot, and where the sun dries it out the best.

Diving • Warrior Specialty • River Sect Divers can hold their breaths for a long time and are the ones who collect river oysters, clams, and mussels.

Land Hunting • Warrior Specialty • River Sect Land hunting is a relatively rare skill to find in the River Sect. While all Riverish have the basic knowledge on how to hunt on land, it's not often needed, as the river is large and plentiful.

Gardening • Healer Specialty • River Sect The garden specialty in the River Sect is very different from the one in the Thunder Sect. To the Riverish, gardening is reserved for healers and advisors and is only done with medicinal plants.

Weaving • Multi-Rank • Wind Sect A specialty most often found among those who find themselves with long stretches of time with nothing to do. Weavers sew, dye, and embroider blankets and tapestries using a variety of materials, including long grasses and rabbit hides.

Tending • Warrior Specialty • Wind Sect The only Sect to develop animal husbandry, the Wind Sect has cats who spend most of their time tending the animals they care for

M'lady, doth this harlot bother thee?

[First] Prev <–-> Next

#poorly drawn mdzs #mdzs #yu ziyuan #wang lingjiao #jinzhu #yinzhu #I just want to take a moment to shine a spotlight on YZY's maids.#I fully admit to forgetting about them until I was looking up female characters in mdzs for the Six AU and saw their names.#For characters who play a small role in the story I sure do rotate the little morsels of info we know about them in my head.#We know they came from the Yu sect along with YZY and described as 'young women' so did they likely were young when they left #And we know that YZY favours them immensely (to the point she lets them speak a lot more freely than she does her own children)#And they in turn are extremely loyal to herand very skilled fighters.#So what's up with that dynamic? Who are they to her? Who are they to each other? Who are they as individuals?#My theory is that they were initially servant girls YZY took in and trained (hence the whip proficiency)#I also very much love the idea of this double standard; that YZY has these surrogate 'children' she favours over her own #to shadow JFM's affection for WWX (child who is not his own).#Jiang Cheng and Jiang Yanli just keep losing!!!#Anyways I just think we should hoist jinzhu and yinzhu up more. I think they have minor character swag and potential.

I just started watching Secrets of the Shadow Sect and wow. The female lead is just like me for real (well in my imagination at least)- in that she spends her time bedecked in fabulous gowns and jewelry, lounges on a fur covered divan and shamelessly sticks her hands into the clothes of extremely good looking men who kneel before her. And when she caressed and punctured the wound she had given the male lead 10 years previous and then smeared the blood on his lips after he proclaimed that his life was hers to take.... I felt so seen.

They are NOT being subtle...

This drama knows that the one thing better than a ML whose intro is committing a lot of murder is said murderer being a devoted sub to a lady in red.

I mean:

And then she pulls open his shirt...or tries to, he stops her and then gives in. THE VIBES.

To discover a nasty scar that she left on him as kids, I believe.

And for the rest of the conversation (if you can call it that!), she's stroking that scar over and over UMMMMM

This where I went UMMMMM

Yes, she draws blood from his scar with her nails and rubs it on his mouth UMMMM UMMMMM WHAT THE FUCK THIS IS INSANE!

And then they repaired to her dungeon for mutually fun time. I kid, I kid, but only barely!

PS Did I mention that he's actually there to take some manual and murder her?

This drama!

Sect Relationships

Roaring Thunder Sect

Shadow Sect - Tense Relations between Thunder and Shadow have always been somewhat tense due to their cultural differences. Thunder Sect values loudness, brashness, and bold fighting prowess; Shadow Sect values observation, stealth, and sneak attacks.

River Sect - Tense but amicable Things are almost always tense between Thunder Sect and the River Sect due to the Sunning Wars. For the first time in a long while, things are friendlier between them. This is because of the friendship between Thunder Sect's deputy, Blueflood, and River Sect's leader and deputy, Squallstar and Woodheart.

Wind Sect - Peaceful Thunder Sect and Wind Sect rarely encounter each other due to the positioning of their territories, so tension doesn't often develop between them. This also means that ally-ship doesn't develop often either. Thunder Sect is curious and displeased with the Wind Sect's disappearance, but not particularly motivated to go looking for them.

The Parklanders - Distant disdain Thunder Sect is vaguely aware of the Parklanders, but they don't have much of a relationship with them. There's a sense of disdain for them, that they're a group who avoids fighting and worship the idea of being pampered by beings long-dead.

.　 . • ☆ . ° .• °:. *₊ ° . ☆

Twisting Shadow Sect

River Sect - Relatively indifferent The Shadow Sect doesn't see much of the River Sect beyond gatherings, so there's not very many chances for any relationships to develop.

Wind Sect - Indifferent Why should the Shadow Sect feel anything towards a Sect they've successfully driven out? Even before the attack, they were mostly indifferent. The Wind Sect was simply in the way of territory they needed, nothing more.

Thunder Sect - Tense Relations between Thunder and Shadow have always been somewhat tense due to their cultural differences. Dreamstar considered driving the Thunder Sect out first before targeting the Wind Sect, but he ultimately decided that the Wind Sect was smaller and would be an easier first attack.

.　 . • ☆ . ° .• °:. *₊ ° . ☆

Glittering River Sect

Wind Sect - Indifferent Despite the closeness of their territories, the Wind Sect and the River Sect don't interact often. Though Squallstar forbids his warriors from hunting on the abandoned land, not all of them listen to him. After all, what use is it to the missing Sect?

Thunder Sect - Tense but amicable Things are almost always tense between Thunder Sect and the River Sect due to the Sunning Wars. For the first time in a long while, things are friendlier between them. This is because of the friendship between Thunder Sect's deputy, Blueflood, and River Sect's leader and deputy, Squallstar and Woodheart.

Shadow Sect - Distrustful The Shadow Sect has been making moves recently. Though Dreamstar has offered both the River Sect and the Thunder Sect usage of the Wind Sect's lands (and some Riverish have taken him up on that), there's a silent understanding that the relative peace between the two Sects won't last forever- probably not for very long, either.

.　 . • ☆ . ° .• °:. *₊ ° . ☆

Howling Wind Sect

Thunder Sect - Indifferent Thunder Sect and Wind Sect rarely encounter each other due to the positioning of their territories, so tension doesn't often develop between them. This also means that ally-ship doesn't develop often either.

Shadow Sect - Intense hatred Prior to being driven out of their territory, things were fairly tense between the Wind Sect and the Shadow Sect. Ragweedstar kept making grabs for territory, and after her death, Dreamstar did the same. Things escalated to downright hatred on the Wind Sect's end after being driven out.

River Sect - Indifferent Despite the closeness of their territories, the Wind Sect and the River Sect don't interact often. A gorge filled with dangerous rushing water separates them, after all, and there's not much of a reason for either Sect to try crossing it.

The Flock - Peaceful admiration & respect The Wind Sect has always held the Flock in high regard, and the guidance they have given the Sect after being driven out has elevated that respect.
