#SAW Warriors AU

[starlightsailfish]

My interests are so vague and cringe but someone has to draw them! Anyways, SAW as Warrior Cats AU.

I have no idea how this AU works with the traps and all that but have these headcanons regardless!

AppleBelly (Adam) - (I thought the name was really cute!) He used to be a loner then joined Shadowclan where he was known for his sneaky stealth. Eventually switched to Thunderclan and is often using his keen eyesight for patrols when he's not visiting ShiningStep in the medicine den. Has a small limp due to a bite wound on his right shoulder.

ShiningStep (Lawrence) - Originally a soft and spoiled kittypet, he is now the medicine cat of Thunderclan. He occasionally sneaks off to his old house to visit his only kit, Diana. He’s not sure if he would want her to join clan life. At least AppleBelly keeps him company in the lonely medicine den.

BloodJaw (Amanda) - Mysterious so-called loner who visits other clans, especially Riverclan and Thunderclan. Is actually part of Bloodclan led by BoarStar (John) who brought her in after years as a true loner. Catnaps LakeBlossom (somehow) to help heal BoarStar and accidentally falls in love oops.

LakeBlossom (Lynn) - Riverclan medicine cat. Was mates with Slatefoot (Jeff) and had two kits, Ravenkit (Corbette) and Creekpaw (Dylan) (medicine cats can have kits in this AU because I said so). Creekpaw was the apprentice of MinkLeap (Timothy) but was hit by a car and died only a few days after being apprenticed. 

WolfShadow (Mark) - Deputy of Thunderclan and a ruthless warrior. His sister died after getting tangled up with a rogue tomcat causing him to despise outsiders. Is part of Bloodclan and in line for the leadership role along with BloodJaw. Always keeping an eye on StoneFrost as he gets closer to discovering his second life. Part of him wants to leave BloodClan once BoarStar dies so he can stop running in circles.

StoneFrost (Peter) - Deputy of Riverclan and is constantly butting heads with WolfShadow as he searches for the mystery kitty killer of the clans. Got in a scuffle with WolfShadow that nearly ended with him bleeding out and drowning. Luckily, he was found by humans and fixed up; unfortunately, when he returned to the clan months later, his spot as deputy had been replaced. Suddenly, becoming a Thunderclan cat doesn’t sound too bad…

resident warrior cats...

[zu-is-here]

Your Viking drawings are so cool. I love NM's role.

[phoenix-arts7]

Going off the recent ask, I did say Twilight loosens up about Midna when he's a lil' buzzed.

And for the longest time, Warrior was convinced he was a freak.

For my AU House of Heroes. I'm still working on their designs so please bear with me lol

Don't tag as LU please.

Redesigned my Hoffstrahm cat designs as well as drew the other kitty designs

2nd designs @guroiishi

3rd designs @crimeandpassion

[polliwoggers]

would you believe I sat down five days ago intending to iron out gijinka designs. and then these horrible cats appeared on my screen instead. truly deplorable behavior if you ask me

more info on these cats and their world below the cut. FYI its kind of long

Nightstar - longtime leader of DreamClan, known for his grim efficiency and penchant to orchestrate complex plans well in advance. Also, very full of himself. Has been leader for as long as anyone can remember, but is not open with the Clan about how many lives he has remaining. Does not speak to anyone of his communication with StarClan; not even his deputy or the medicine cats.

Nightmask - deputy of DreamClan and son of Nightstar, for whom he is named. It is just as confusing as it sounds, and neither the Clan at large nor Nightmask himself are all too fond of Nightstar's vain naming decisions. Nightmask is fully confident in his ability to lead the Clan when his time comes, but something about his father having funnelled him into this leadership role from kithood makes him... nervous. Not that he'd show it, of course. That would be weakness. He is a fast and nimble fighter.

Tansyclaw - technically the primary medicine cat of DreamClan, but rarely partakes in healing. Has a vast knowledge of herbs and poisons. Only took on the medicine cat position for the political power it would net for him and his suspiciously close friend, Singlesky.

Acornshine - functional medicine cat of DreamClan, only recently granted her full name as she ascended to full medicine cat status. Although less experienced than her past mentor, Tansyclaw, matters of medicine and communing with StarClan often fall upon her. Looks forward to Ripplepaw’s visits to chat with her in the medicine den.

Darkslash - senior warrior of DreamClan. Blind in one eye from a past battle, with the scar still visible. Came out of retirement to mentor the also visually-impaired Gooeypaw. A bit of a grouch.

Dandytail - warrior of DreamClan, and largest cat in the Clan. his heft and strength grant him the advantage in most every fight, but he has the tendency to get greedy for glory in the heat of battle. This often leads him to attempt and fumble fancy maneuvers that ultimately cost him the win. Not much for hunting, as he struggles to move quietly. Has a big heart, and still acts like a kit in some ways.

Singlesky - warrior of DreamClan, and a gifted speaker. She is excellent at hunting, and will sometimes collect trophies of her more interesting or well-preserved kills. Has a great appreciation for flowers. Her every suggestion is parroted by Tansyclaw at Clan meetings.

Waddlesplash - warrior of DreamClan. Fairly mild-mannered. Dislikes Dandytail. Looks up to Nightmask, who was their mentor before Waddlesplash was promoted to warrior status.

Puffypaw - Apprentice of Nightstar, but is rarely trained by him. instead, Nightmask or another warrior usually fills in for his training. if Nightstar had no intention of training him, why did he choose to make Puffypaw his apprentice in the first place? Nightstar has high expectations for the young cat, it would seem…

Gooeypaw - Apprentice of Darkslash. Is named for his eye condition, which makes his eyes appear constantly goopy and clouds his vision. His poor eyesight makes him more than a little clumsy, and often has to invent new ways of doing tasks other cats would find a breeze. Gets along splendidly with Puffypaw.

Bandedpaw - Apprentice of Dandytail, and first to find Puffypaw all alone in the woods on a windy newleaf day. Together with Gooeypaw, Bandedpaw forms the main triad of Puffypaw's friends in DreamClan. His mentor, Dandytail, is less than enthused that his apprentice is associating with someone he still sees as an outsider, smelling of the twolegplace…

Ripplepaw - Apprentice of Singlesky, and best friends with Acornshine. Conveniently, since Singlesky is always in the medicine den to converse with Tansyclaw, Rippleclaw gets to see her friend quite often! She's extremely proud of Acornshine's promotion to full medicine cat, and hopes that she will earn her full name soon, too! So long as she follows everything her mentor says, she’s sure to become a warrior in only a few moons! Has a small crush on Puffypaw.

Applewhisp - elder of DreamClan, and oldest cat in the Clan. Doesn't do much these days but laze around and huff irritatedly at younger cats who linger too long near the elders' den. Likes to tell stories, but isn’t very good at it. A bit of a pushover.

Harvest Heart - a mysterious, unpredictable cat who claims to have been cast out of the Clans thousands of moons ago -- but it would be impossible for any cat to live that long, wouldn't it? During his travels, he acquired followers from all walks of life. As it stands, he and his small following pose little threat to DreamClan, but it’s always best to stay alert.

Zap of a Passing Storm - the first of Harvest Heart's followers, hailing from a faraway tribe that she refuses to speak about. A fast and vicious fighter, she is easily the most loyal to Harvest Heart's cause -- whenever he can remember what it is, anyway. She often requests to be referred to only by her full name, as anything less than that would be an insult to her honor. No cats respect this. Poor thing.

Francisca - the second of Harvest Heart's followers, having come from the kittypet life in a distant twoleg nest. After her housefolk died, she was turned out onto the cold, unfamiliar streets of the twolegplace. She would surely have frozen to death, were it not for Harvest Heart's charity in her time of need. She travels with him now, as she has nowhere else to go. She has become close with Flamebounce.

Flamebounce - the third of Harvest Heart's followers, originating from the Clans themselves. After a wildfire ravaged her home territory, she was left with nowhere to go, and no idea if any of her Clanmates survived. She struggled to breathe through her smoke-sickness, and would have died if Harvest Heart had not stepped in to help. She greatly misses her old Clan, and often wonders if anyone else managed to escape the fire -- but, even if she were able go back to her old life, she could never leave Francisca behind.

Mags - A wandering loner who sometimes crosses paths with DreamClan. Suspiciously friendly to the Clan cats. Knows a lot about twolegs. Stays very far from Harvest Heart’s rogue group at all costs.

Mars - Never that far behind Mags. thinks it’s hilarious to leave ominous objects for Clan cats to find and catastrophize into some world-ending prophecy. Aside from this odd behavior, he seems totally disinterested in Clan life.

Ms. Susie - beloved kittypet of the CEO of Haltmann Works Land Development Company. Doesn't see why those savage forest cats would mind losing their tacky bushes and trees if it means they could live in the glorious abundance of the twolegplace; or, more likely, she just doesn't care what they think. Often sneaks into Clan territory to meet with cats unknown. Aware of Puffypaw's existence, and could potentially use that knowledge as blackmail material against certain cats in high positions…

Fluffy - a friendly, fluffy kittypet whom Puffypaw likes to chat with to see how things in the twolegplace are going. Often asks if Puffypaw would like to live with him and his housefolk. Puffypaw is hesitant to officially accept or decline the offer, but he's happy to share Fluffy's food when he offers it!

Do any of the IAU boys ever get bullied? I know Sky did by Groose but how about Time's sons?

I would think they would sometimes, though some more than others. Four for example, probably would because of his height, but everybody knows he has five older brothers so he doesn’t get messed with too much (...within earshot, anyway)

Wild I could see getting some unwanted attention with his scars, but he isn’t the kind to really care much. If he did, he’d just fight back (hooray, principal’s office), or somehow mysteriously get away really quick. Twilight is too nice to seriously be bullied, and he can be pretty imposing if he wants to. Wind maybe, but he’s friends with Tetra and nobody messes with her if they know what’s good for them.

Hyrule... I don’t know. Maybe he’d get flack for being a grade behind, or if word gets out he was adopted... idk. Either way, it doesn’t seem that bad to him compared to other stuff he went through, so he doesn’t really mind much. And Legend just doesn’t care lol, if anybody even tried to give him crap he’d probably just give them a scathing retort that’s 10x worse then whatever the bully told him. Which would either make them leave, or... make things worse.

Ooooh the old man is here! John, Jill, and even Billy join the SAW Warrior Cats AU!

Parts 1, 2, and 3

Headcanons under the cut!

Ghost (John) - (I changed his cat name because I didn't like the old one oop) A purebred albino sphynx with an affinity for twoleg inventions. After the death of his and Queenie's kitten, he left his home and received a 'prophecy' to renew the clans and loners from within (aka use his knowledge of human contraptions to torture corrupt cats and unlock their 'true survival instinct').

Queenie (Jill) - A sweet kittypet who tries to help loners by giving them food and a place to stay. She was attacked by the very loners she tried to help resulting in the death of her unborn kitten. Although she doesn't approve of Ghost's methods, she still loves him and looks after his 'apprentices' after his death.

Billy - A beanie baby toy that Ghost found abandoned in the streets. He carries it everywhere and regards it as a real kitten. WolfShadow (Mark) often gets stuck kitten-sitting.

PLEASE tell me ur leshy and/or kaycee headcanons id love to hear. why did leshy chew off his nails post kaycees mod as stated in ur claw post. i live on angst and im so emotional abt these two's relationship

See this post for context

Aw, glad to hear you like my headcanons for these two. They live in my brain too—neither one of them pay rent but they’re making friendship bracelets together so I’m not going to kick them out.

Having said that, the reason for the claw-chewing is because Leshy was buried underground, trapped in his version of the game in the dark without anything to do or any input from anyone—player or Scrybe alike—for who knows how many years. His nerves got to him after a while and, well… he’s at least got the certainty that he still has teeth.

How old are exactly the Links?

This is a question that has hunting me since i first read the whole comic, and now with the little info that we got with the Jojo Q&A on the LU discord i tried to put it together and get something more solid

[These are only what i think may be the canon ages! not everything is completly official (except Wind and Wild), this is just the result of a bored me who is trying to have an idea about how to characterize the boys when makes an attempt to write]

Time

Probably around his 30 physically, more exactly maybe 33 or 34?

Warriors

24-25, this makes him the second oldest of the group

Twilight

22-23

Sky

18-19

Hyrule

Around 18

Wild

17, almost 18. Physically around 117

Legend

Here i have my doubts, is more confusing taking in count that we dont have an exact age set on LA, and im not sure if ALBW was after or before the adventure on the island. Let's say that he was around 15-16 when the whole Koholint thing happend, and a year passed since that when ALBW takes place. So, taking this in count, he may be in his 17-18. This takes more force on the panel where Warriors calls him with Wind 'young heroes'

Four

Around 16 or 17 maybe? i dont have very settle what age he might had when FS happend

Wind

13, almost 14 (maybe his birthday is very close on the time of Dawn? party boy???)

This is just my interpretation after the little info and calculating the numbers while bored, you are free of considering this canon or not! thats something that makes it funny, play with the boy's ages

[iwtvdramacd18]

for whatever reason this reminds me of catlou & clawpaw

he is with child......!
