Naming Guide
The Clans, being as young as they are, have no established naming conventions, meaning you have pretty free range over what you'd like your character to be named!
Some cats are named with the traditional "Warriors" structure (ex. Suntail, Poppybranch, Rapidwater). Others are named with the structure we see in the "Dawn of the Clans" arc (ex. Gray Wing, Cliff's Edge, Silver Eyes). While some are named after words or have Twoleg-style "kittypet" names (ex. Frost, Mac, Daisy). This being said, each leader may have a different stance on clan names. Most notably, Cliffstar is very insistent on their clanmates having "traditional clan names" and has gone about renaming cats. Rapidstar does the same, but only upon request, and Pinestar refuses to rename cats. |
Visual References
We all love seeing a pretty picture! Whether it's a photo or drawn, having a visual reference can help bring your character to life. Not all of us are artistic, but there are plenty of resources with photo references out there that you can pull from! Here are just a few websites that are good for finding cat photos:
Have some unique markings in mind? No problem, our own Mod Aspen has an extensive cat base available for purchase! Go check those out and start building your character! There's also lots of free cat bases available on the internet.
Please sure to properly credit the artist and get their permission beforehand, if you use someone else's work. Stolen artwork will not be tolerated! |
