Spring has finally sprung! Better late than never along the 'ole, miss chilly Lake Superior! The islands are finally green and teeming with fresh, flourishing life. Trees are budding and blossoming. Lounging in a stray sunbeam is finally socially acceptable again...yet a cold, dark presence is lingering in the tunnels, remnescent of leaf-bare's cruel clutches...dun dun dun. We have a lighter Announcement month this may! We're continuing our spring cleaning event and announcing a few site updates and patrols, so please check 'em out!
The Apostles is a warrior cats roleplay based in northern Wisconsin. On Lake Superior, the wild cats have made the Apostle Islands their home. It is on these islands - Rocky Island and South Twin Island - that the clan and tribe cats have lived in a peace and harmony that ebbs and flows with the tide.
But as the tides turn, so does the truce that binds them to one another; and as the water raises, a darkness follows, an evil that will end in bloodshed and violence.

A friendly soul, Dusk is happy to strike up amicable conversations with anyone he meets. His adventurous spirit continuously takes him to the outreaches of his home and would spend all his time turning over every leaf and stone if possible. With the death of his family, Dusk has taken on the role of training to-bes as best he can though his need to travel still carries him to far off shores whenever possible.
Over the last full season Dusk has become a more somber, quiet tom. Though he still seeks joy and the adventures that whisper on the wind, the Tribe's trials have aged him. The tom now seeks answers from the ancestors but feels unqualified for such insight; even still he feels hopeful the Tribe can pull through their struggles.

Somber and sullen, Clovershade personifies the reclusive and depressive tendencies of a cat unable to process her grief. The loss of her mother at a young age made her fearful of being close to others in the wake of her pain which inevitably led to an aversion towards physical contact and even claustrophobia. Moons spent distancing herself and spending more and more time out of camp have made it difficult for Clovershade to reconnect with others, though she finds herself yearning for understanding while hopelessly crippled by the idea of reaching out to another soul.
