Name: Pipitstripe
Description: A brown-grey tabby tom with a white underbelly.
He's an all rounder when it comes to skills, and he has more of a arrogant personality if anything.
Important Notes: I still have yet to flesh out his personality, so here's just a name review for him.


Oh gosh that's a cute name.

Rate: 10/10
Type: Traditional
Reasoning: On top of sounding adorable, his name fits him perfectly! I have no issues with it.
Alternative Name: None!
Notes: Feel free to send him in as a full character if you want to once you're done.

    Image/Description: Slim pale red (but not cream) ticked tabby with copper eyes.
    Name: Fenneltail
    Gender: She-cat
    Clan: RP Clans
    Rank: Warrior/senior warrior
    Personality/Skills: As an apprentice Fennelpaw proved to be an agile, with skills at jumping, climbing trees and a notable sense of balance: she rarely fell from trees or anything of height. This also meant she is very good at judging distance, and as such is a good hunter, often being very precise in her movements and not overestimating her abilities. As such, she was named for this and given the suffix -tail. She's also full of energy, and very fond of kits and younger cats of the Clan: when she has nothing to do, she can be found at the nursery or the apprentices' den, playing with the kits or giving the apprentices extra tips on their own skills. Over the moons she's also been seen to help the deputy with the patrols, her copper eyes full of warmth as she speaks to her clanmates, passing on the orders and helping to point out mistakes, if any are made.
    Important Notes: New character again


Just as a note, light red cats are generally called golden or ginger, since "red" falls under a darker ginger. Actual light red tends to be pink, which...we both know doesn't really appear. Cream also falls under golden; it's juts a fancier way of saying it.

Name Rating: 10/10
Name Type: Traditional
Name Reasoning: I have an undying love of the name Fennel-. I'm not sure why. It just sounds nice. Anywho! This character fits her name to a T, so there's not much to say here.
Alternative Name: None!

Character Rating: 10/10
Character Reasoning: Overall, this cat's well-rounded, with no real conflicting traits. She sounds like she could be a very good deputy or mother, though depending on how old she is, it's unlikely she'll live to become leader, and she might be a little old to be raising kits at this point.

    Thank you!
    I generally use breeder's terms (it's a habit I've picked up), so just red for any shade of ginger and then cream for, well, cream. There's also fawn (generally found in oriental breeds) and ruddy along with the wide spectrum of other colours in the Abyssinian and Somali breeds. It's crazy!
    I'm using this picture for her and I thought it looked a little too dark for cream but that might just be the lighting/me.
    I've got her down as thirty six moons, so I reckon she's still got a chance but she's content as a warrior xD

    Can I also just say that I noticed your pointed section: provided two cats have the point gene in their ancestory/one parent is pointed, it's fully possible that kittens could be born with points. So, say, an irresponsible owner lets their Siamese/Javanese/Oriental Shorthair/Oriental Longhair/Colourpoint Shorthair/Colourpoint Longhair/Tibetan/Birman/Ragdoll or even a Snowshoe outside, and it's not been spayed/neutered then breeds with a Clan cat, kits would either be pointed or carry it. Then say, further down the line (as the gene would still be there) they breed with another kittypet, kits could also be pointed there. Not to mention all the Clans are inbred to a certain degree so two ordinary cats could also easily have a pointed kitten ^.^ It might also be worth adding that all pointed cats are born white so they should be given a white prefix <3

    I also see those links you posted: they're all technically black mackerel tabbies and would all be black/black and white if they didn't show the agouti/tabby gene. Grey, to me, is blue, while this is a black silver classic tabby xD
    I'm sorry if I'm annoying you with this

I've yet to learn all the breeder terms, but I'm slowly getting there the more people that show up who know what they're talking about. Ruddy's a pretty great term, though.
I think that picture will suit her just fine! She's just light enough for Fennel-. If she was any shade darker I'd suggest a more ginger name, but as long as she can be defined as golden or cream, that's good enough for me.

The pointed thing has cropped up in my life before - somehow, my previously wild molly bred with a wild grey tom and a wild ginger tom and got white kittens with grey points. Very cute little things.
So I wouldn't completely exclude pointed cats from a Clan line entirely, but there's a fair share going against it - the circumstances leading down the generations, the fraternization outside Clan law (which, in my mind, is bound to happen every other generation at most in an area with multiple Clans, but it's disallowed quite a lot in the series), the fact that there would be a pointed cat right then and there who hadn't been fixed yet (fixing cats is a very popular process nowadays, so it'd be even more difficult to explain in modern Clans), etc. etc. It's possible, but there's a very slim chance of it happening, so regular colors are more optimal.

Eh, as long as they're the proper color, I don't care too much about the specific genetics. I doubt a feral queen would care too badly either - they're a tad more concerned about making sure the kit survives to apprenticehood.

I shouldn't bother you for a while after this, but I pretty much want the names to be OK. Just background characters for my fic.

Name: Neritefur.
Description: Chocolate calico with blue-green eyes. A molly.
Important Notes: I'm not really sure if Nerite- will work for a calico.

Name: Juniperwhisker.
Description: Long, blue-gray tabby tom with blue eyes and bushy fur.
Important Notes: He's a good hunter, like the suffix suggests.

Name: Mottlepelt.
Description: Light gray, patched and dappled molly elder with shaggy fur.
Important Notes: Usually messy-furred.

Name: Russetfang.
Description: Dark russet molly with pale green eyes.
Important Notes: A skilled hunter, but will fight well too.

Name: Waxcloud.
Description: Frail, thin golden tabby tom with orange eyes.
Important Notes: Mellow, polite, kind of easy to push around.

Name: ???-tail.
Description: A chocolate torbie, I need advice on the prefix.
Important Notes: Good climber.

Name: Otterstream.
Description: Dark brown molly.
Important Notes: Good swimmer, kind of moody but not enough for -storm.

Name: Hornetfur.
Description: Lighter ginger/golden tabby tom, rather skinny and weak.
Important Notes: Thinks he's great, but in fact he's a little bit of a mouse-brain.

Badger away, my friend. The thread's here for a reason.
I'm very sorry for the long wait. My dad was dragging me all over town for some reason, but I got sketchbooks out of it, so.

Neritefur
Rate: 8/10
Type: Traditional
Reasoning: Nerite- is a liiiittle shaky for a calico, especially a chocolate one. For a chocolate, I'd stick with a brown-and-white name, or at least a diluted name.
Alternative Name: Chubfur/Patchfur. Chub- refers to a brown-and-white cat, and Patch- refers to a patched cat (obviously). -fur stays as it is.
Notes: None.

Juniperwhisker
Rate: 10/10
Type: Traditional
Reasoning: His name fits him perfectly - and credit to you for picking a flower name for a male cat. Everyone gets all caught up on that stuff because it's "girly" or whatever, without remembering that Clan cats literally could not care less about gender.
Alternative Name: None!
Notes: None.

Mottlepelt
Rate: 10/10
Type: Traditional
Reasoning: I think you're describing a dilute tortoiseshell, and if so, this name fits her perfectly.
Alternative Name: None.
Notes: None.

Russetfang
Rate: 9/10
Type: Traditional
Reasoning: My only question is if she's currently both a great fighter and hunter, or if she's just a great hunter and then eventually becomes a great fighter. If the latter, then there's no real reason for anyone to give her -fang at warriorhood, since she's currently a great hunter and an average fighter.
Alternative Name: Russetwhisker, if the above assumption is correct. If she was equal in fighting and hunting from the beginning, then she sticks with -fang.
Notes: None.

Waxcloud
Rate: 10/10
Type: Traditional
Reasoning: Wax- is one I haven't really seen around before, even though it's traditional. Granted, it is a little odd, but still!
Anyway, the name fits him perfectly.
Alternative Name: None!
Notes: None.

???-tail
Name Suggestion: Lizardtail/Toadtail
Name Reasoning: Chocolate torbies are near impossible to find, so I'll be working off the assumption that the cat is majority brown with lighter patches. Lizard- and Toad- describe a majority brown tortoiseshell, which would also work with stripes, especially with Lizard-.

Otterstream
Rate: 10/10
Type: Traditional
Reasoning: Lucky her that she got a name fitting to her prefix, eh? The name fits her fine, regardless.
Alternative Name: None!
Notes: Here, at least, skill goes over personality in the hierarchy of name importance. If a cat doesn't have a nameable skill, then they get named for their personality. If they don't have a nameable personality, they get appearance.

Hornetfur
Rate: 9/10
Type: Traditional
Reasoning: If he has very noticeable stripes, I'd say stick with the name. If not, then he should get a different prefix. Hornet- kinda assumes that the cat will have stark stripes.
Alternative Name: Gorsefur/Ryefur, if his stripes are just mild or regular. If they're stark and obvious, keep Hornet-.
Notes: None.

I take no credit at all for this cat. I let a friend choose everything and now need to make him realistic.

Image/Description:
This tom is huge, that is the first thing everyone notices. He towers above many cats, including his whole clan. Only his leader comes close to him in height. Appearance wise he is a very unusual cat, he has an extremely lean build with extremely large bat like ears that other kits often mocked him for when he was young. His fur is brown tabby, with thick dark spots breakinging through a chocolate ocean.
Name:
Dragonstorm
Gender:
Tom
Clan:
None yet.
Rank:
Warrior
Personality/Skills:
He is an excellent hunter and fighter, pushing himself to adapt his skills in each to benefit the other. He can use a hunting crouch to take down a straying foe, a fighting move to take on a vicious hare. He loves to adapt, refusing to become predictable and has often been stated to be the best trainer of apprentices as he doesn't let them create a pattern of attack he makes them swap there skills and talents.

As a clan member he is surprisingly shy, he gets embarrassed when complimented and can't hold a conversation without getting embarrassed by something. He has a crush on a she cat but is to nervous to tell her.
Important Notes:
It is unknown where he came from, he was found on the border as a kit with only a faint, milky scent showing his mother hadn't been gone long. He was weaned but still carried her smell. A cat waited at the border, checking daily to see if the she cat came back but she never did. He insisted his name was Dragon, admitting he didn't know what it meant. Since then he has striven to become the best warrior he can, he see's the clan as his family, and would choose no other.
Having serious issues viewing dark colours at the moment. May delay replys to pms. Sorry.

The Leopard Pups
Grey, Black and White. The world revolves and we go with it. Twisting in this everlasting monotony, eyes of green and gold, watching and waiting for our chance, our time. Cytor, Liliana, Serenade, Bayonet, the Prankster, the sweet one, the mother and the lost soul. There birth was a lost event, one in a million, two wandering souls met in the shadows, and these four were created. There pups are the stuff of legend, one lost there sight, one lost there path, one lost there love and the other? The other lost his family, everyone they cared about. He lost his family.

Name Rating: 3/10
Name Type: Creative
Name Reasoning: I think it says a lot about canon that I wasn't entirely sure whether Dragon- had showed up in the books or not. Well done, Hunters.
Anyways, dragons are a mythical creature created entirely by humans. Much like a vampire or a mermaid, cats would have no references for these things - at most, their mythology is about their ancestors that were animals that actually existed. And there is the fact that dragons come in a multitude of colors - green, red, blue, brown, black, white, grey, gold, ruddy, etc. It has no solid grounding in color, so we can't say for sure what the cat looks like.
He doesn't seem to be a -storm cat - in fact, he's shy and nervous. If anything, I would name him for his skills, which are hunting and fighting.
Alternative Name: Briarfang/Railfang. Rail- and Briar- are for a brown tabby, and -fang denotes his equal skill in hunting and fighting.

Character Rating: 7/10
Character Reasoning: He sounds like someone who's only really confident in their element, which I can totally buy because I do know people that are in complete control of certain situations and then once it's over, have no real idea what to do with themselves. However, the fact that he's a skilled mentor and then falls apart in a conversation just seems...odd. Having him stick to his own company and have some confidence issues in times of peace is just fine, but not to the point of being embarrassed by everything he does.
There is the fact that he would probably have to change his name at some point or another, if he wanted to truly respect the Clan. If he sees this Clan as his family, and strives to do the best he can for it, I would assume that means abiding by the rules and being lawful as possible. That would mean having to change his name when he came in. I mean...Firestar did, and he was at the right age to become an apprentice. He didn't even complain.
Overall, those are the biggest issues, but I would like to add a sidenote that I'm not sure whether he's just amazingly tall or actually big - he's described as huge, but has a lean build.
