Does the evil cat only target your character?

[MockSun]

Alright, I’ve got a few ideas. You don’t need to use all of them, of course, but hopefully there’s something in here to add. ^^

Appearance:
- Is your cat a male calico or tortoiseshell?
-- Do they suffer no disabilities from this? (Sterile, weak immune system, etc.)
--- Remove one point if they do have the appropriate disabilities.
- Does your cat lack any scars?
-- Despite being warrior age or older, and not a Medicine Cat?
- Does your character have any markings (birth marks, scars, tabby stripes etc.) that form a pattern? (For example, a birth mark shaped like a crescent moon, or two scars overlapping to create an X.)
-- Is it on their forehead?
- Are your characters eyes noted as unusually intense or hypnotic?
- Does your character have Heterochromia (two different colored eyes?)
-- Do these two different colored eyes represent a light and dark side of the character?
- Is your character especially pretty or attractive?
-- Are other cats drawn to them for their appearance?
--- And do they wish they weren’t so beautiful, or that someone ‘would love them for who they really are’?

Skills:
- Does your character have an usually strong connection with StarClan or the Dark Forest?
-- Despite not being a Leader or Medicine Cat?
- Is your character an expert at any skill? (Hunting, fighting, sneaking, etc.)
-- Are they the best in the entire clan?
--- Are they the best at multiple skills? (The best fighter and runner in the clan.)
- Is the character more skilled than someone in their age group probably should be? (A kit being able to hunt for themselves, an apprentice easily defeating a senior warrior in battle.)
- Does the character possess skills that someone in their clan is unlikely to know? (Like a cat in ThunderClan knowing how to swim.)

Names:
- Does your character have a vulgar prefix? (Bloodkit, Bonekit, Lostkit, Brokenkit, etc.)
-- Is there a tragic reason in your character's backstory why they received this prefix? (Their mother died giving birth to them and their father shunned them for it, for example.)
--- Ignore the last two questions if they were renamed due to an injury.
- Has your character been re-named from an injury without their consent?

And that’s all I’ve got for now. I'll probably post again later with some more, since I've got way too much free time. xD

oh my god i hope you finish this mary sue test, im dying to put some of my very old characters through its paces. namely deathstrike, who i think i asked you to review as a jest a while ago, bless him.

[Arcaii]

I think the folks who will be testing it should have two characters on hand - a normal one and a cliche/mary sue one. That'll help with improving it more quickly.

These are all fantastic questions (special thanks to MockSun, half of those never even occurred to me)!

[Arcaii]

Oh, and if you guys need ideas for new questions, the catoegories I will be using are Origins, Appearance, Prophecies, Skills, Personality, Rank, Villain (if they are one), RP, Name, Injuries, and Detractors.

I have some test characters I have been working on. Baskerville/(Maybe) Beetlefur, will be one. I think the stupid kitty is too perfect.

And I started my re-write of warriors just now

[Arcaii]

Oh jeez, I forgot to do the renames. I've got a couple hours until I gotta go somewhere, so I might as well do that now.

Renames: Into the Wild - ThunderClan

I will be going by traditional naming here. Note that the cats who don't require renames will not be listed.

REDTAIL
Assessment: We've already discussed the impossibility of a tortoiseshell male, so I won't go into it here. What I will say is that naming a cat solely for one marking - be it the color of their tail, foot or face - is a bad idea, since names should tell you what the cat is like from a distance. And God forbid if the piece you're naming the cat for gets ripped off or destroyed; then the name means absolutely nothing.
Renamed: Change him to a dark red tabby named Redpelt. He's mistakenly called a tabby once or twice, so that design should fit him perfectly.

LIONHEART
Assessment: Does his prefix fit him just fine? Sure, if you're comfortable with the Big Cat prefixes. But -heart is traditionally used to mean a cat who has a fierce sense of justice and morality, and Lionheart doesn't show that at all. In fact, he's kind of a pushover, something a -heart cat would never allow.
Renamed: Lionfur, or Reedfur.

WHITESTORM
Assessment: His prefix fits him, but -storm is better for a wild and unpredictable cat. Whitestorm is notably calm and collected - in fact, that's one of his defining features.
Renamed: Whitecloud.

LONGTAIL
Assessment: HE DOESN'T EVEN HAVE A LONG TAIL! HE'S A REGULAR-TAIL. JESUS.
Renamed: Silverstripe, or Breamstripe.

RUNNINGWIND
Assessment: His name basically means "Fast" and "Fast". Plus, why would you give a cat a suffix that's the same as the name of a Clan? That's offensive, to say the least.
Also, because I'm sure none of you know because they never mention it in the books, he's a light brown tabby. His entire characterization revolves around him being speedy.
Renamed: Adderfoot, or Larkfoot.

MOUSEFUR
Assessment: The only issue with her name is that she's described as a dusky brown. Mouse- fits better on a medium or grey-brown cat.
Renamed: Beetlefur, or Ratfur.

SMALLEAR
Assessment: Why would you name a cat for their ears, if they're in good shape? That doesn't make any sense.
Renamed: Squirrelpelt, or Stonepelt.

Obviously, there aren't a whole lot of cats in ThunderClan who need different names. This is the book where traditionalism came from.
