[justanotherwarriorcatsfan]

Since Seaclan is getting overpopulated I'm going to have to start a new clan and you can decide the name! I have three clan names but I will also give you the option to comment your ideas! (please make sure the clan name is something wild cats know)

Also some rules I made up to make it a little more interesting:

-Deputies have to be related to the leader and medicine cats have to be family

-mentors decide the name of their apprentice

What kind of universe does brackenleaf and raincloud live in?

they are warrior cats!

raincloud comes from grassclan, whose territory is a stretch of grassland. grassclan has a lyrical naming system, and often use compound words as names. grassclan encourages outsiders to join.

brackenleaf comes from woodclan, whose territory is some forested mountains. woodclan has a traditional naming system and does not take in outsiders. the clan is made up of several distinct bloodlines; clan cats mate with rogues or loners or kittypets (to keep genetic diversity), and bring their offspring back into the clan (to continue the bloodline).

the clans alternate between peace and war. by the time cloudkit and brackenkit are born, tensions are ramping up again; they are older apprentices or young warriors when war is declared.

Meet my oc, Mossystar! Her name used to be Grassystar, but I changed it because she is the leader of GrassClan, and it's a little bit too... grass-y.... I have some other art of her also!!!

The reason she has goggles and a collar is because she stole them from a Twolegplace (hot topic probably)

Here is some older art of her!!! I posted it on my twitter (1amcraig)

Wait, DarkClan completely drove out GrassClan? Completely?

That sounds super bad...

[dawngen]

Taking a tiny break from DawnClan to set up the other two groups in their area! We're starting with CopseClan, and later, I'll work on GrassClan once I feel all settled with this group.

COPSECLAN: THE MOUNTAIN CATS.

CopseClan does not actually have a name--CopseClan is the name given to them by DawnClan as a better means of differentiating them from the other neighboring colony. This colony of cats simply exists. They need no name, and they need no deep ancestral history to exist and thrive, and GrassClan is similar.

'Copse' means a thicket of trees, and given that CopseClan lives deep in the forest of Mist-Bound Mountain, this is what brought their name to fruition.

CopseClan does not operate based off of the usual set of clan hierarchy dynamics. Instead, they focus on co-existing in what ways work best for them, allowing cats to help the colony by playing to their key strengths. For example, some cats are designated hunters, while others are camp guardians, choosing these roles for themselves as they naturally come, or seeking out experts in the colony to be trained.

There is no ranking system, no going from kit, to apprentice, to warrior. Both GrassClan and CopseClan operate under the principle that there is no more important time than the present, and to linger upon the history of their ancestors makes no sense, as is what DawnClan does.

Even without nine lives and spiritual guidance, these cats manage to thrive, much as it befuddles DawnClan.

Now, onto the cats...

BLUE. A 104 moon old tortie she-cat with a unique blend of chocolate brown and gray fur. When asked for a leader, while she is not officially in such a position, CopseClan often looks to her. She is careful, wise, and doesn't mind taking charge when necessary. However, she will never claim such a role permanently, or assert herself as above any of her colony members. They all stand as equals, as fellow cats trying to survive and thrive.

CREAM. An 89 moon old tortie she-cat, her coat is a blend of dark sandy tan, splotches of black, and a cream underbelly and mittens. Charismatic and energetic, she also helps CopseClan in times of necessary leadership, and loves to teach the younger cats the art of battle. She has been the most antagonistic with the clan cats, indignant and insulted by their inability to accept their way of living, but her temper is kept to a simmer by Blue.

SKY. A 107 moon old tom-cat. His slate-black coat is accented by lighter gray rosette dapples, and with cool cyan eyes, he struck an impressive figure to the clan cats when first met. Cool and charming, he is the closest feline to a 'medicine cat' that DawnClan could figure out. While many of CopseClan come from various backgrounds, either born wild or from kittypet lineage, Sky has always been wild, and before CopseClan, he learned how to manage his own injuries and sicknesses with natural remedies in the forest. Prior to his arrival, CopseClan did not have a concept of 'medicine' or herbal remedies, but he has been slowly turning this around.

[strikers-rising-stars]

Wow, it has been a long time since the last post. Sorry that this is not a story post. I needed some ideas for something if anyone wanted to help. Currently, the Clans are JungleClan, BeachClan, GrassClan, and SwampClan. I'm starting to dislike the name JungleClan as a Clan name, and I was looking for other names that went with the territory. The territory is very overgrown with lots of trees, moss, rocks, and a plentiful amount of prey like mice, shrews, birds, weasels, squirrels, and very rarely, there may be deer. I was thinking of WeaselClan or ShrewClan, maybe GrowthClan, and changing GrassClan to HillClan. I was even thinking of CobraClan or BugClan. I really don't know and I need help :'D

[griffincloud]

This is a reference post for me primarily, but TL;DR, when beginning the development of Star Haunt, it began as a post-story continuation/AU to a story known as The Chill In OleanderClan (a story I initially began in 2020 when I was 15) where a small band of the surviving clan cats explored into where the Twolegs lived as they'd lived isolated on an island and the clan cats ended up meeting some kittypets

Then I got the idea of these kittypets surviving without their owners after some sort of natural disaster and being left behind, now living as wildcats in an abandonned city while I was out on vacation. Then I started playing ClanGen since it'd just released and made PatchClan/then known as PlantClan. Then I started to develop a mini-story of a cat named Peachleaf, a cat who was the only one who could tell the leader of a clan was actually a ghost and she helped bring the leader-ghost peace to help her find her way to StarClan. I got all of these ideas around the same time mid-to-late-2022 so I then just decided to combine all of them together and eventually got to where we are now... with even more changes on the way to make it fairly unrecognizable from all of the 3 things it had been inspired from

But especially early on in "development", I felt I took a lot of inspiration from TCIO particularly... a lot of these similarities were scrapped later on in "development" though. But since I never plan on going back to TCIO, I've been wanting to reuse some of the old characters I still liked from it. So I decided to list out every single TCIO character and list if they inspired or have a (mostly accidental) parallel to a current Star Haunt character (similar story, personality, or role) and also highlight which characters I'm bringing over either as an ancestor cat or just a regular clancat as of today

KEY

Red - POV or Major Character Orange - Supporting Character Black - Minor Character Italicized - Exists by name alone or little/no character development Bold - New character transfer into Star Haunt as of this post (Don't use) - Characters I'm not interested in transferring as their role is too unique to TCIO to be reused in any way (i.e. Clan Founders and figures in Clan Lore), if the character has something about their story I don't like anymore, or if they had little or no development and the only thing I could get from them is their name (and if I don't like their name, what's the point?)

[bbasscatt]

I was planning out how each clan chooses their name. Originally, it was based on each clan choosing something that is common in their territory. The cliffs in CliffClan, the streams of StreamClan, the heathers of HeatherClan, and the oaks of OakClan? They are in a coniferous forest. Sure oaks can live there, but why would I name them after that? I don’t know how I did not realize this. Originally they were CedarClan, but that made their abbreviation the same as CliffClan’s (CC). I am considering some alternatives, such as another tree or Aster (there is a special reason why), but they all have their own problems. With this dilemma, this is the perfect time to explain my rules when it comes to creating clan names. Get excited!

1) No matching abbreviations: The most simple rule and the one that kicked CedarClan out of the picture because CliffClan is never changing. I like to use shortcuts, like CC or HC and there will be confusion over who I am talking about if they have the same abbreviation. ClC/CeC could work, but it is too much work for me.

2) No matching “categories”: I do not want the clans to have their names based on the same category. For example [redacted]Clan and StreamClan both have the same types of trees, but they are not allowed to be named PineClan and LarchClan. This can be very broad. For example, snow, cloud, ice, bank, river, and mist are all not options because StreamClan is already water related. This is why I struggle with Aster. It matches HeatherClan’s flower name

3) Unwanted prefixes = good clan name: While technically any of these can be prefixes and if it came to it I would be fine with each of them, I prefer to use prefixes that I do not like for cats for the clans. In my clans, it is very disrespectful to name a cat after a clan. Even outsiders who just happen to have the name of a clan will not be referred to as it. In order to keep as many good prefixes as possible, the clans get the bad ones. CliffClan and StreamClan are the most obvious of this. This cannot be done for all the clans because canon took all the good ones. For example “heather” is a fine prefix, but I gave it to HeatherClan anyway because I like the name. They can’t be HillClan or MeadowClan because CliffClan is too close. This is why I struggle to just pick another tree for [redacted]Clan. It was already hard enough to get rid of Cedar or Oak, but Pine, Larch, Fir? I refuse.

4) Too many syllables: One thing I hate in warrior names is having one part of the name being more than 1 syllable. It can be okay sometimes, but I avoid it. This is why I don’t name them HemlockClan and give HeatherClan a new flower name. Even though this would be the simplest name because rule 2 gives [redacted]Clan pretty much just tree name, I really hate it. I probably will not have too many Dragonflypaws or Dandelionpaws because I can’t stand that many syllables.

5) No animal names: I just don’t really like the clans being named after animals. This would also be perfect because if I named them BadgerClan or something it would not break any rules. It would kind of break the hidden side of rule 3 because I would prefer to keep the animal names for the cats, but it does not actually break it.

6) No weird names: I might just have too many rules for these names. This is incredibly subjective, but I do not want any weird names. No GrassClan, DirtClan, WoodClan, BarkClan, or anything of the sort, I don’t really know why, but I just don’t like these names. I don’t even like them as prefixes for cats, besides Bark.

7) No canon names: Kind of obvious, but I am not going to use any of the clan names from canon.

If you have any ideas, please help me. I really need a new name from [redacted]Clan. I want 4 clans, so I can’t just get rid of them. It will probably have to break one of the rules. Rules 1/5/7 are non-negotiable, so they must be followed. Thank you!! :)

Warriors-ify: The Wizard of Oz.

We’re off to see the leader,

The wonderful Wisteriastar!

Duckcloud: Dark brown tabby she-cat with blue eyes. Often too busy dreaming to focus on important things. She goes to Wisteriastar to ask him to help her find her way home to GrassClan.

Sandfur: Golden tom with green eyes. He has a great sense of humor and is fast-thinking. He goes to Wisteriastar to become wise.

Thymeheart: Gray tom with golden eyes. He is very aloof, but romantic. He goes to Wisteriastar to become kind.

Lionfang: Light brown tabby tom with blue eyes. He sees himself as a coward, but longs to be leader. He goes to Wisteriastar to become brave.

Gingerstar (formerly Gingerflower): Dark red she-cat with golden eyes. She becomes the leader of MossClan, a Clan of very short cats, after Duckcloud accidentally kills their evil old leader, Eelstar, by falling on top of her.

Flystar: Black she-cat with green eyes. She is the leader of WoodClan. She is angry at Duckcloud for killing Eelstar, who was Flystar’s littermate. Duckcloud kills her by accidentally tossing her into a raging river.

Wisteriastar (formerly Oscar): White tom with golden eyes. He used to be a kittypet named Oscar. He is leader of LeafClan, but sadly does not really believe in StarClan and so is not a very good leader. He leaves LeafClan to Sandfur, who becomes Sandstar, at the end.

In order:

Dorothy Gale, Scarecrow, Tin Man, Cowardly Lion, Glinda, Wicked Witch of the West, Wizard.

Some character design notes I want to point out related to my art, in case people are curious (please note you don't have to use these elements if you make fanart. These are what I use in my own personal designs. Feel free to draw any character in whatever way you'd like, even if it doesn't fit SOTM's canon):

Medicine cats have bright centered pupils, indicating that they've seen something otherworldly. All medicine cats who are capable, or have been capable, of seeing Starclan have this design element

Most medicine cats also have star speckled cheeks. It is a sign of their bond with their ancestors. Those who do not, have lost their connection to Starclan, or never had it at all

Blind cats, or half blind cats, will have pupils that nearly match the color of their scalrea

Cats with white centered pupils are blessed (or cursed) with special powers. Only a few cats have this design element as a result (as powers are rare)

Grassclan cats have long oval shaped heads with large ears. Sometimes their ears have bends or notches in them. Their muzzles are long and pronounced

Treeclan cats have round, circular heads. Long haired cats will sometimes have ear tufts. They have the most generic design

Mountainclan cats have oblong heads that resembles lemons or footballs, and their muzzles are very short. Their ears are also small. They will never have more than 50% ginger coloration if they are a calico or tortoiseshell

Oceanclan cats heads are square or rectangular shaped. They will always have pronounced shoulders. All long haired cats have tufts of fur at the tips of their ears that often droop

Marshclan cats have upside down pentagon shaped heads. Their chins are often pointy. All Marshclan cats have ear tufts that point straight up. They also have long legs

Kittypets coloration is almost always more saturated than a clan cat's. They have many different styles for head shape, often depending on if they are a certain breed. Cats with no defined breed will have a default rounded head shape, sometimes with pronounced cheeks. Kittypets eyes are usually very round or oval shaped to give them a more cartoony, innocent look

Rouges have sharper features, like sharp cheek fluff or ear tufts. But their eye shape can vary from intimidating to kittypet soft. Usually they are scarred in some way, unless they are young

Loners tend to look closer to kittypets, with laid back or anxious expressions and more relaxed posture. Their pelt colors are never as saturated as kittypets though, unless they used to be one

Cats who are halfclan will share a random combination of design elements based on their parentage
