Warrior Cat Names and Characters Reviewer [CLOSED]

[Arcaii]

Image/Description: A lean but muscular black tom with amber eyes and a white locket on his chest. He has long legs with slightly bigger than average paws, giving him the look of an apprentice with some growing still to do.
Name: Shadowclaw.
Gender: Tomcat.
Clan: Depends what roleplay I join, to be honest - he could fit in anything but the original four Clans (due to his prefix).
Rank: Warrior.
Personality/Skills: Amorous, chivalrous, a little reckless at times, friendly with those he knows but a bit suspicious of newcomers, intelligent, he likes to make jokes (and not particularly good ones either) but he can be serious, when it comes to it. Shadowclaw also likes to think of himself as wise, but most of the time he doesn't manage to convince anyone. He's an exceptional fighter and a poor hunter, despite his lean frame - he's just too noisy to be a great hunter, for his legs seem to get in the way quite a lot. However, he's faster than most other toms, also due to his frame, but he has been known to fall over when skidding around corners in pursuit.
Important Notes: Thanks again ^.^ I welcome suggestions to make him better - he's a new character.

Goodie! I'm getting him in his baby stage.

Name Rating: 10/10
Name Type: Traditional
Name Reasoning: I had to go check out what a locket even was, and I was very surprised that it's an actual marking! You've helped me be educated, well done.
This name is absolutely excellent for him! It also has the bonus of sounding cool, so there's that.
Alternative Name: None!

Character Rating: 8/10
Character Reasoning: I think the only things I'd have to pick on are that he'd probably need to be a little bulkier if he's not particularly graceful (size really does matter in a battle), and the addition of intelligence. Note that any cat can be bright, but the way I've seen intelligence added onto characters usually either means "self-aware" or "quick-witted". Shadowclaw doesn't really seem like he could be self-aware, believing himself to be more intelligent and funny than he is, and I don't think that he'd be too quick-witted. Intelligence comes in a variety of forms, so I'd examine exactly where his intelligence lies.

Bump.

[~I Love CS~]

(Your very nice to do this. I have a warrior cat rp if you'd like to join.)

[Arcaii]

At the moment, I'm a little preoccupied on another forum, but thank you for both the offer and the comment!

My goal with this whole thing was to (in as friendly a manner as I can muster) introduce a more sensible way of naming Warriors. Please let me know if you need any help!

Hello to you! Don't worry, unbiased opinions are the number on code of conduct around here.
Goodness gracious that is a handsome cat.

Name Rating: 5/10
Name Type: Canonical
Name Reasoning: Hawks are in England, however there are two types: sparrowhawk and the goshawk; they are colored brown or blue depending on gender and black, grey and white, respectively. You can see already how that would be a confusing prefix.
But wait! There's more.
Even if you wanted to use the description of one of these, you would have to specify which one. Goshawk- could work for a black, white, and grey cat, but sparrowhawk wouldn't work because it's a compound word, much like dragonfly, grasshopper, or earwig. It's awkward, and breaks up the flow of a name (imagine someone named Sunflowerflower or Blackbirdfoot).
So, unfortunately, Hawk- doesn't work here. If he was in America, then it would depend on his location.
Now, -tail has a specific naming reason to it. It's used to indicate an agile cat who's skilled at climbing things or evading attacks. It's not used as an appearance descriptor, with the exception of renames (Halftail, Lost-tail, etc). I've had someone here who used -tail to describe the fluffiness of their cat's tail, but the thing is that it doesn't matter much what the tail looks like. What matters is how they use it.
This cat is a little spread out in terms of name-worthy things (which I will go into below), but I think that there's a name or two that could fit him very well, with some work!
Alternative Name: Martenfoot/Otterfoot. Marten- and Otter- describe a brown or dark brown cat (presumably with some white markings), and -foot indicates his speed, which I will touch on in the character section.

Character Rating: 5/10
Character Reasoning: The problem is that he's got a lot of everything, and it's a little messy. Understanding vs rash, boastful vs subtle - it's contradictory! And his talents, too - good hunter, but lacks stealth and tracking; good stamina, but lacks power and strength. See what I mean?
My suggestion is to focus in on speed, and the coincidental traits that come with it. He could be rather proud of the fact that he's so fast on territory he wasn't even born in, and likes to brag about it; he could feel a little intimidated by these disciplined, trained Clan cats and so makes up for it by being quick. He could have a bark that's worse than his bite, so to speak, preferring to talk a lot but the second someone challenges him, he flees. He could have a very outgoing personality to go with this, liking to flirt with cats of every Clan (perhaps he still doesn't quite get that he should stick to his Clan's cats) and managing to be charming despite his bluster. Or maybe he's all the more obnoxious for it!

I'm baaccckkkkk! xD Thank you so much once again <3

Image/Description: Brown mackerel tabby with a long, neatly tapered tail clear blue eyes. Her frame is also notably slimmer, leaner and longer-bodied than most others. x
Name: Buzzardfoot.
Gender: She-cat.
Clan: ThunderClan, although she could easily also fit into WindClan.
Rank: Warrior.
Personality/Skills: Personality - inquisitive; impish; open-minded; positive; impatient; stubborn; (very) short-fused; quite loud.
Skills - Buzzardfoot is well known to be the fastest she-cat in ThunderClan, as her lean frame allows for greater speed; her long tail also gives spectacular balance, which aids her during the quick chases she undertakes when rabbits and even hares stray into the territory; agility is also one of her skills, for her speed and long tail allows for quick changes in direction.
Important Notes: It's entirely possible that she has kittypet ancestry - specifically one or more of the oriental breeds. Many cats also speculate that she could have WindClan blood in her veins.

Image/Description: A thickly-built, massive red silver classic tabby with long fur and deep amber eyes. x
His left ear is in tatters and this side of his face is also marked with massive claw marks from when he confronted a badger as an apprentice.
Name: Lionstorm.
Gender: Tomcat.
Clan: ThunderClan.
Rank: Warrior.
Personality/Skills: Personality - undyingly loyal; reckless; rash; determined; eager to prove himself.
Skills - his massive frame gives him the strength advantage in fights, although it means he isn't very quick and therefore is also a terrible hunter; his stamina is also very high as he constantly pushes himself to be better, to prove himself.
Important Notes: This character I've had for a few months, and he started off as an apprentice xD his mother was a black mackerel tabby tortoiseshell bicolour (torbie bicolour) who was one of the softest cats you could find. His father, already a large tom, fell for her and they had a litter together. As the firstborn and the most vigorous, Lionstorm was chosen to live among ThunderClan, but from the moment he arrived taunts were thrown his way, and this has mostly shaped his personality. It didn't help that his father soon deserted the Clan. As mentioned earlier, it was the fire to prove himself that drove him to attack a badger within the territory and this lead to his scars.

These two are sisters.

Image/Description:

Name:
Rainstorm
Gender:
She cat
Clan:
Originally Fireclan, currently Iceclan
Rank:
Warrior
Personality/Skills:
Angry, volatile, almost explosive in a way. You give her the order to attack and she does so, with no sense of how her victim may feel. She was trained to be like this, pushed in every way possible to become the darkest thing a cat can be. She only speaks when spoken to directly, only stays around other cats when ordered. She is also an extremely powerful fighter, she wasn't trained to hunt, they found it unnecessary for a weapon, a tool to hunt, she has prey bought to her.
Important Notes:
She was kit-napped at 7 moons and was twisted into what she is now.

Image/Description:

Name:
Adderfang
Gender:
She cat
Clan:
Fireclan
Rank:
Warrior
Personality/Skills:
An average warrior, unlike her sister she doesn't excel and is equally good at fighting and hunting. She enjoys hunting more than fighting. Around the camp she is nice, polite, always willing to feed another cat first. She can have a little bit of a sharp tongue but usually uses it for humor rather than to insult.

Hello again!


Buzzardfoot
Name Rating: 10/10
Name Type: Traditional
Name Reasoning: I can't tell you how thrilled I am that someone is using Buzzard-, and correctly. This name fits her absolutely perfectly!
Alternative Name: None.

Character Rating: 9/10
Character Reasoning: Buzzardfoot is excellent. I think my only nitpick is the open mindedness versus her stubbornness. I would get rid of the stubborn part, or shape it into "determined".


Lionstorm
Name Rating: 8/10
Name Type: Traditional
Name Reasoning: I'd say that he's not so much a -storm cat since he's not exactly wild. Reckless, most certainly, but that's more along the "not thinking things through" line. He sounds like he could be a good Lionclaw cat, though.
Alternative Name: Lionclaw, since he could be a great fighter (I'm not exactly sure if he is).

Character Rating: 9/10
Character Reasoning: My only issue is the "loyalty" bit (which is covered on the main page, I believe!) - I think that you ought to put "needs acceptance", instead. He sounds like a cat who has a dire need for approval, which has shaped him into the rash, reckless, fierce cat that he is!

Quick question for Kestrel - are the pictures switched? Because I really think they are.
