How Do You OC?

[lark.]

I only want to have one main for now, as I can't be terribly active. However I'm having trouble deciding what kind of cat I want her to be!

The main things are: What clan? What will she look like? What will she act like?

I'll also need to figure out relationships, such as backstory, family, etc but that isn't as important yet.

So, the point of this thread: how do you guys decide what your kits are going to be like? You can say anything you want, I'm just interested to know what different processes people have! All are welcome! Doesn't have to be anything super special or crazy :-)


Edit: Names too! There's way too many good or pretty namems, I can't decide!

Gonna need to place a placeholder. I’m tryna come up with the words…

i never consciously think in-depth about it, i just kind of have ideas come to me over time. often they're inspired by songs, pretty tumblr post writings, movies, or other media! if you're still struggling, you can always spin a wheel or something, but i like to let existing art give me inspiration.

edit: in terms of names, i rly just pick whatever sounds good to me scroll through the names list and find a combo that scratches an itch in my brain

Mine are inspired by uh... *blanking*
Well, I'll just go off of my main. Goldfish was inspired by my dog (Hehe) and my very own goldfish, not to mention the name! I took an old OC named Perchbubble and revamped his personality. Blazesong was inspired solely by her name, which I loved (Hence the username Blaze_Songs239) a lot. The design came off the idea of a cat with half their face white. I thought it was a pretty idea, and let my imagination go wild!!

I either base them off songs or myself in a way (For example, thingkit could have my Gullibility and empathy. and thing2kit could have my looks made into cat). Or just base them off human characters I make in my tiny brain like years ago.

(Names? I just use a random warrior name wheel or generator.)
