Description Swaeter's guide on making the purrfect warriors OC!
This was originally just going to be for Clans-Reborn , but I realized it would probably help a lot of people as well, so why not?

What Swiftfoot would look like in real life: sta.sh/0aka0cfl6rd

Choosing a Clan:

I forgot to put this in here... oops! Anyways, if you're joining a RP or something with your realistic character, you must pick a good clan. The name can determine how realistic the clan is and if you should be joining it or not. Unrealistic things like Aquaclan and Frozenclan aren't going to work; they're unrealistic. While something like Pineclan will work. It also depends on the environment you're in. Pineclan is a good name, but if there aren't any pine trees around, that's not good! For Swiftfoot, I'm just going to choose a clan from the books. He is now in Windclan.

Unrealistic Clan Names: Venomclan, Treeclan, Icicleclan, Lostclan, Hollowclan, Waterclan, Platinumclan, Speedclan, Silentclan, Poisonclan, Fierceclan, Justiceclan, Lonerclan, Earthclan, Airclan, Winterclan, Summerclan, Autumnclan, Springclan, Flowerclan, Evilclan, Glassclan, Volcanoclan

Realistic Clan Names: Pineclan, Frostclan, Iceclan, Mapleclan, Oakclan, Darkclan, Streamclan, Rockclan, Caveclan, Stoneclan

Remember, some realistic clan names may not be good if the environment doesn't go along with the name! ( Ex; a clan called Caveclan located near a few ponds, rivers and pine trees doesn't fit. While a clan called Iceclan will fit in a cold, snowy place. )

Skills:

Ravenpaw was a fast runner, which allowed him to flee from things quickly and hunt some things that may be a little dangerous. ( Like adders. )

Tigerstar was a powerful fighter, and so he could come up with a lot of strategies that worked in combat.

Names:

Appearance + Appearance: Blackfoot

Appearance + Personality: Brightheart

Appearance + Past: Clawface

Past + Appearance: Crookedjaw ( Was originally Stormkit ) and Lostface ( Originally Brightpaw, but was given the name Brightheart later )

Before I get more comments about Moon and Sun being here, they are here because they are sacred objects in the sky, and are often associated with Starclan. Yes, there was a Moonflower and Sunstar, but they were mistakes, created by someone who was new at the time. It was even revealed that Vicky tried to change Moonflower to Duskflower, but since Moonflower was already out there, she decided to keep it that. They didn't want those names to be used because it made a cat seem better than everyone else in its clan.

A mother wouldn't really name her kit "Dreamkit," it doesn't really represent anything in the warriors world or forest?? it's kinda hard to explain and it also doesn't sound right
it might also be the same with the moon/sun situation, a cat with a name like that may seem above everyone else in its clan.

well, in my opinion, water isn't really a valid prefix to begin with,,,, newborn kits don't have anything to do with water
and when they're born, you can't really see their eyes, so if it was named after the eye colour, it still wouldn't make sense >A<

swaeters In reply to excalibastardd [2014-09-28 16:18:49 +0000 UTC]

That's all pretty good, it's just the clan really. Cats don't really call seasons by things like "Summer" and "Winter" and stuff. I also don't think they'd really name clans after the seasons.

Kisareshiram In reply to ??? [2014-09-22 10:33:26 +0000 UTC]

Why not the prefixes Vine and Shiver? There was a cat called Vinestar in the series (Code of the Clans, I think,)Β and things like Shiverstep, ShivertailΒ and Shiverpelt sound alright. Shiver could also make a good backstory too - say, a cat who survived some sort of serious flu as a kit, but his/her littermates died, or something, or just a kit that complains about the cold.

Just curious about your opinion on this Great guide!

πŸ‘: 0 ⏩: 1

swaeters In reply to Kisareshiram [2014-09-22 15:24:16 +0000 UTC]

well, i said vine because most of the warriors don't really know about vines?? like, i don't think they're really in forests, and i've been to a lot of forests... if they are in forests though, i guess i could cross that off
and i don't really think a mother would name her kit "shiverkit," since they normally name their kits right after they're born, i believe. i think most of the kits would be shivering tryna move around, so it wouldn't really be anything "special" to name your kit that, if you know what i'm saying???

πŸ‘: 0 ⏩: 1

Kisareshiram In reply to swaeters [2014-09-22 21:51:17 +0000 UTC]

I see your point on both - that's a really good point actually, about vines...
Maybe you should add the names Leaffall and Greenleaf? Since the clans wouldn't name a cat after a season...(Even if leaf is one of the best suffixes for Green.) And Twilight, I've found, is a bit long, in the same way Morning is.

Her Are Mine:
Smoketail (Gray she-cat with a darker gray gradient tail and ears)
Scorchthroat (White tom with a gray stripe from his chin to neck,has a breathing problem caused by a deep scratch in his throat)
Harespring (Dusky brown tom with black paws)
Robinsong (Reddish tabby tom with black stripes)
Copperfur(Dark brown tom with slightly darker swirled tabby stripes)(Copper is a canon prefix,it was used once in WindClan,twice in RiverClan)
Pebblestream(Gray tortoiseshell with black ears,one blind eye)
Spruceleaf(Black tom with dark brown tailmarks,lost his left ear in battle)
Flamestorm(Ginger tabby she-cat,particurlary prickly)
Flickerstep(Dark gray tom with black feet,has permanently stuck-out claws on his left hind foot due to a nasty injury)
Dewfrost(White-brown mixed she-cat with white speckles)

Could you critique me on these?

πŸ‘: 0 ⏩: 1

swaeters In reply to RatchetInsomniac [2014-08-29 21:52:48 +0000 UTC]

okay, so, for the names, they are mostly good! i personally wouldn't use flicker though, as i'm not sure clan cats would actually use the word in a name. also, for copper, right once you mentioned riverclan i remembered the copper was also a fish,, i normally think of the element / metal when i think of it, so i guess copper is fine, as long as you're referring to the fish

and for the designs, i feel some of them could be a bit more realistic.
smoketail is mostly fine, but, i'm not exactly sure if a cat would really have gradient colours?? like it might have a few darker flecks here and there bit it wouldn't really be gradient
harespring is mostly good and realistic, but since he is a tabby and not a purebred, i don't think he'd have black paws, as i've never seen a tabby with darker paws. ( the only cats really with darker paws are things like siamese cats, himalayans, ragdolls, etc ) same with flickerstep
i also don't think it'd be realistic for a black cat to have brown markings on it, unless it is a tortoiseshell, as i have never seen a black cat with brown markings before.

bbuuuuut, the rest are all good! :'D

RatchetInsomniac In reply to swaeters [2014-08-29 22:53:16 +0000 UTC]

Thank you!As for Smoketail,I personally didnt think that a gradient was very natural,but i went with it anyway.(My mind is about purebred maine coons durhur)But with the flecks,i'd actually like that design better.For Harespring,I thought tabbies could have discolored feet.Could his paws be a darker shade of brown?For Copperfur,I wasnt too sure about that.I'll take your word for it,I didnt much like the name anyway.For Flickerstep,I was basing that off my own cat,but I wasnt quite sure about the name.I mean,when Roscuro (My kitty) walks around,he drags his messed up foot a bit,making a slight tacking sound if there isnt any noise.And his markings are a bit differing than most cats.Could he and Spruceleaf (Same marks) be brown with black tailmarks?If not,i'll just give them a white tail tip .

Thank you for the critique!

swaeters In reply to RatchetInsomniac [2014-08-29 23:07:02 +0000 UTC]

yeah, brown with darker marking works!Β  and i guess harespring could have darker paws.
and which clan is copperfur from, again? remember, names also depend on the clan. like, something like toadfur would be good for a shadowclan cat because they eat toads, while other clans go with different names that go with a lot of the things on their territory or what they eat normally u v u

swaeters In reply to starexploderkitty14 [2014-07-25 21:27:43 +0000 UTC]

i personally wouldn't use timberclan, earthclan or sharpclan, but the others are good.
timberclan because timber is wood that is used for building and stuff, and cats don't really know what it is. ( and i don't think they'd appreciate wood / trees being used for that )
earthclan because earth is an element, so it'd be kind of weird. and i don't really think they use the word earth often??
sharpclan because i don't really see how a clan can be sharp lmao.. it kinda makes them seem evil?? unless it's like an evil rogue making a clan that wants to take Β over the forest or something like scourge then it's fine xD

This is cool, but some of the names you put in are fine there, like fire for suffixes and vine for prefixes. For example, there is a Vine something, and fire is commonly used, and also in the website. And morning is a good prefix too.

swaeters In reply to TyrantRainfire [2014-07-08 06:14:37 +0000 UTC]

Cats don't really know what vines are?? And fire is a better prefix than suffix honestly. Just because it's a common suffix doesn't mean it's a good one. And where's it used on the website? And I guess Morning's okay, but whenever I see someone use it it turns out terribly and it's a bit long, so a better word to use is Dawn.

They do apparently. I normally wouldn't use that, but they do know what it
is. I know, but I still can be used as both. No, what I meant is that ppeople do use it. For your town, if it starts with a, it's fire. Yeah, that is a problem. But use with a small suffix, like dew, it's not to long.

swaeters In reply to TyrantRainfire [2014-07-08 06:43:42 +0000 UTC]

where's it proved? :o
but what would fire even really go under? i mean like
names normally go by appearance + appearance, appearance + personality or appearance + past / past + appearance
your cat isn't always going to be on fire, i don't really see how fire can represent a personality, and if a cat were to be trapped in a fire it would most likely die and renaming a cat is kinda rare
and i think morning is a long word already, so if you add something to it it just makes it longer and more annoying to say hhh
