Hello, everyone! Here are some things to remember when making your forms and role playing.
The Clan cats are nocturnal! Because of the drought there may be some daytime hunting for extra food, but for the most part they'll only be out at night and possibly dusk and dawn.
Cats are red-green colourblind; here is an example of a red-green colourblind spectrum, and this is the Dullard's input on the matter.
Some traits probably won't show up in the Clans; these include chocolate, cinnamon, pointing, and silver.
Don't forget about body language! Here is the (incomplete) body language post from the Redux itself. You can find further information on nonverbal cues easily through a quick internet search. Cats can't shrug.
Mental illness exists in the Clans and while it obviously isn't well understood, the Clan makes sure to help its members cope with anything they may be struggling with.
Abuse is not stood for in the Clans; if a character has abuse in their history, there should be a good reason as to why nobody stepped in.
On naming, RiverClan is more likely to name litters in themes than any other clan. RiverClan tends to name after natural phenomena and the gods; ThunderClan, powerful beings (lion, badger, etc), plants, and colours; WindClan, animals, colour, and size; and ShadowClan, insects, birds, time (evening, night, etc), and weather. RiverClan also is flexible with the amount of white on a cat, since they tend to have more patched cats than there are prefixes available for them.
Here is some more interesting stuff from the Redux; if you have a question that isn't answered there or here, please ask alchepalch or me or any of the other mods about it, or post it here.
