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.

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.

Well...... That you for da help!
I might change her name, but then I would have to contact Riverspirit456, and tell my FH clan, and remake a ref. (Because I would alter her design)

It is a good tutorial,
but for example WindClan doesn't called so because of its environment, but rather after its first leader Wind, does it? Also ThunderClan lives not in the Thunder ^^ or so on
Btw, whats the problem with for example WaterClan? Every cat has a connection to water, like to rivers and lakes, so whats the problem with this?

swaeters In reply to chrissivoko [2014-07-06 17:36:34 +0000 UTC]
I know that, but the territory they chose also fit with their clan names. And most people don't really have a cat named Pine that makes Pineclan and stuff. xD
exceptforthunderclanunlessyouthinkaboutallthetimeslightningasstruckatreethereanditcatchesfire
Water honestly isn't too good of a name in my opinion, and it doesn't sound that great. And every cat in the forest has access to water, so it's not even that creative. Besides, the clan cats tend to use other words like lake, river, and stream. A better clan name would be something like Streamclan, if there's a lot of streams and such in their territory.

chrissivoko In reply to swaeters [2014-07-06 19:45:28 +0000 UTC]
well, so it isn't creativ, but realistic ^^
In my opinion, a cat or clan name is realistic, if a cat has a connection to it in any way (:

I have an OC named BlueEye xD? Because he was born blind in one eye, and that one eye is blue. So Eye works if it was from appearance from birth, or an incident from apprenticeship.

swaeters In reply to oHoneyBunn [2014-07-06 03:44:37 +0000 UTC]
yeah i guess that works!
but normally cats have more than one eye/working eye so that's why i put it in the bad suffixes xD
but if it's because your character literally only has one working eye and it's blue it works!

bagozago In reply to ??? [2014-07-06 02:22:20 +0000 UTC]
Some of the prefixes you listed were used in the books, and are very acceptable, while others I do agree on. Sunstar was leader before Bluestar, and Moonflower was Bluestar and Snowfur's mother. Archeye trained Yellowfang, so a few are acceptable, while things like Ironslash are not. (LOL I just realized that Archeye violates prefix and suffix)
But other than that, this is a great guide!Β

swaeters In reply to bagozago [2014-07-06 02:33:12 +0000 UTC]
Sunstar and Moonflower were actually mistakes.
Vicky had tried to change Moonflower's name to Duskflower, since Moon was used in Starclan areas only and that having the name Moon would make her seem prettier than the other cats. But since she had already been introduced, they decided to keep it.
Not too sure about Sunstar though, but since the Moon and Sun are sacred objects in the sky, naming a cat after them would make it seem like they're better than everyone else.
And I put Arch because I always think of a gateway arch when I hear the word ( or other man made ones ) and I put eye because cats have more than one eye. xD Unlessyourebrightheart.
and thanks! xD

ahh you should read the books sometime! xD
it's about four clans of cats that live in the forest together, although they get into fights with each other often and go into battle.
there's a lot more to it, but i'm lazy fff

These are all very valid points, especially in the naming of Warriors, themselves. While I do see some names on your prefix list that I wouldn't question if folks used, you are right, the ones you've listed do seem like they would be out of place within the Warriors universe~
The one question I have is with the "Fireclan" name- I personally have a small headcanon (not a RP group, just something on my own) where there is a group that calls themselves that. However, the cat who began said clan was a non-clan cat raised by Clan runaways, so he had a different birth vocabulary than the others. He speaks half way between a kittypet and warrior. "Fire" is also a metaphor for how the clan lives in a desert like area, and thus they consider themselves the rulers of the scorching hot earth- earth "other cats won't cross, for it makes their pads feel as if they're on fire."
While it is my own idea and I find it fine, I am curious as to what you think about that description, given your opinions in this deviation; because, personally, I feel "FireClan" fits them far better than something like "DesertClan" or "SandClan", since the heat of the sand and environment plays a great deal in their way of life- and its defense- and each and every cat knows it.
Once more, this is a brilliant deviation. I hope my paragraph above doesn't seem condescending, I'm more looking for a hopefully interesting discussion~

swaeters In reply to ShadowCatsKey [2014-07-06 01:15:30 +0000 UTC]
Yeah, Fireclan's fine for that! If walking around their territory burns their paws because it's so hot, fire totally fits!
I only put it there because most clans are in cool forest areas and fire wouldn't fit that. xD
Unless your clan catches on fire everyday which I highly doubt. xD

ShadowCatsKey In reply to swaeters [2014-07-06 01:19:43 +0000 UTC]
Oh goodness, catching fire every day, I think there'd be some mutiny for that! xD
Also agreed that most forest/plains area clans really wouldn't make sense to be named "Fire" anything. ...Though, hm. I'm just thinking here, but perhaps a new clan could claim the name if they stumbled across an area previously devastated by a fire? Like the blaze created the area that became their camp or something. That'd be a neat concept~

swaeters In reply to ShadowCatsKey [2014-07-06 01:30:00 +0000 UTC]
Yeah, I guess that would work, but everything would eventually grow back and go back to normal, and it may never be touched by another fire ever again. xD

SilverWolfe34 In reply to ??? [2014-07-05 19:57:16 +0000 UTC]
Some of the prefixes on the 'Do not use' list I don't really agree with. Some have been even used in the books! Like these:
Moonflower (Yes, I know there is the Moonpool and the Moonstone, but... still)
Sunfall
Flintfang
Morningflower
Mallownose
And then some I think should be used because they sound nice. Like these:
Wintersong
Lightningtail
Shiningstar (I think this name would fit better for a leader or a Clan, but I still like it.)
But one prefix I think you should add is 'Sky'. It's already the name of a Clan.
Sorry, but I just had to put that out there.Β

swaeters In reply to SilverWolfe34 [2014-07-05 22:03:58 +0000 UTC]
And most clan cats don't really know or talk about Skyclan, so that's why it's not there.

swaeters In reply to SilverWolfe34 [2014-07-05 22:01:21 +0000 UTC]
And Winter is a season, so you shouldn't put that in a name. (They don't even call winter that.)
Lightning is honestly too long.
And cats don't shine and sparkle and stuff and shining is just too long and doesn't really sound good in a warriors name to me.

swaeters In reply to SilverWolfe34 [2014-07-05 21:56:59 +0000 UTC]
Moonflower and Sunstar were mistakes. The author who made them was new at the time but she had already introduced them, so the others just went with it. I just put morning because it's too long, and so a better word to use is dawn.
Also flint and mallow shouldn't be on the list whoops
