if it's okay, can you do a ranboo (dsmp) medicine cat au?

maybe just a name and headcanons, but you can do more if you'd like

Sure! I'll do dsmp Ranboo as a warrior cat, and then give a bit of ideas for if they were a medicine cat!

Ranboo is Specterwalker! "specter" is referencing their ability to see ghosts (he chose the new prefix for themself, changing it from either "Coldwalker" or "Darkwalker").

It's a funny thing. Imagining Specterwalker, I thought about choosing Darkwalker, but in my mind Specterwalker looked over and said "No, this is better." Of course it was just me feeling like that fit better, but it's funny to me.

I imagine that Specterwalker would've been a mediator, but at the end I'll give a few ideas for if they was a medicine cat instead. He was part of SymphonyClan after he found his way there, of course.

To counterbalance their hybrid form in canon DSMP, in ITAHTTW they're the result of a ritual done to bring him back to live at an early age. In exchange, one spirit now uses them as an anchor to the living world, and now Ranboo has a connection to Rainsoul, the spirit of Bad Endings! The memory loss is due to the damage done to their brain after he died (possibly by drowning).

They wandered around for a while, and came across SymphonyClan! Made fast friends with WC Tubbo, helped Raccoonflap mess with WC George, killed Boarslash and watched him come back to life, watched his home burn to the ground, got another one, joined EvergreenClan (WC Snowchester, I like the symbolism)with WC Tubbo, adopted a kid, died, and was revived.

If they were a medicine cat, a lot more emphasis would be put on the lack of StarClan, as several factors combined to cut off their connection right before the Exile Conflict.

That's it! Thank you for the request! If you have another request or would like elaboration, do contact me again!

Bye!

The Pantheon

The original Warrior Cats, while good in many ways, lacks much substance when it comes to worldbuilding lore. As such, I couldn't resist adding my own in many areas.

As such, I present to you, the Pantheon! The generalized names for cats or other entities who have become powerful enough that they have gathered their own sort of following, always some kind of spirit or deity, these spirits are shared among my characters to warrior cats AUs. They're called 'Pantheonic Spirits' if they do have a following. Other spirits who haven't gained this following are not referred to with a title, but are just called by the name they feel like using.

The Pantheonic Spirits are represented by animals, and I always have a reason for those specific animals. This may be a connection to the inspiration of those spirits, general cultural symbolism, or just because it felt right. They also have specific domains they specialize in.

For gender, LGBT+ stuff, and pronouns, assume that the spirits prefer pronouns that are dependent on the physical forms they choose, and don't have romantic preferences unless I say otherwise.

There are four types of relationships that a normal cat has with a spirit.

1: Worship. A cat worships this spirit, asks for guidance regularly, and lives life with at least some accordance to the ideals or stories attached to the spirit.

2: Honor/Acknowledge. A cat believes that this spirit exists, and gives some deference to it and may pray to it in times of extreme need, but otherwise does not follow it.

3: Disbelief. A cat does not believe in this spirit.

4: Dishonor. A cat actively goes against this spirit, and sees it as evil and horrid.

As of writing this (11/29/2023), I have five fully realized members of the Pantheon, one mostly planned out, and one who I need to add more, as well as others who I have not worked on yet but do plan to add.

Here's a list of the members, starting with the fully realized and going down the list in order of information that I decided on.

Lightwalk, the Spirit of Death. Inspired by Mumza, she's represented in stories as a crow. A notable associate is Crowskull, also known as "Death's Right Claw". She represents one facet of Death, and guides lost spirits to the respective afterlives.

Rainsoul, the Spirit of Bad Endings. A completely original character, he's represented by a vulture. He's seen in stories as both a hero and villain, an omen of death, but at the same time one who gives closure to those who have lost loved ones. He answers to Lightwalk if there's a direct order from her, but does his own thing mostly. He watches over those who's lives end unfairly, painfully, sadly, and too soon. I imagine he's not as powerful as other spirits, which is why he brought Specterwalker back to life in exchange for using him as an anchor to the living world.

Goldengleam, the Spirit of Tricks. Inspired by Bill Cipher, he is often seen in stories as a coyote, and the better alternative to Blackrabbit. He's seen as a more neutral figure, friend and foe to villains and heroes alike. Goldengleam specializes in tricks, puzzles, fun in bad things, and jokes!

Blackrabbit, the Spirit of Chaos. Inspired by Habit, he is only ever seen as a rabbit. Being the WC version of Habit (I will give a lot of information eventually alongside a post, I can't resist doing his WC version eventually), he's pretty obviously a morally terrible cat. The baby eating is still getting carried over obviously. In stories, it's rare that he's seen as good in any way, only helping others if it's self serving to him. He is a spirit of bloody endings, violent death, evil fighting evil, sadism, knowing too much (based on a personal headcanon), curiosity, and surprisingly enough laughter. He has a long history of hosts, including Clawcry (WC version of Evan, poor guy).

And we have Snickers! The Spirit of Wonder, and the 'guardian' of Limbo, an afterlife for kittypets and loners. Limbo itself takes a lot of inspiration from the Backrooms! Alongside Limbo and wonder, Snickers represents nostalgia! Not seen in stories very often at all, interestingly enough. Wispfoot (WC Dream) is one of his worshippers, and prays to him pretty often.

Now, we have the ones I haven't finished yet.

Bloodyhunt, a boar, inspired by my Star Wars/DSMP AU idea of the Blood God.

A lion, Spirit of Control, inspired by my ideas for The Founder in Generation Loss.

And for the ones in the works....

A moose, a leopard, a bear, a sheep, a secretarybird, a owl, a goat, a tapir, a hampster, a lemur, a aardvark, a cougar, a shark, a iguana, and a snake.

Oh, I can't wait until I get to show you guys more.
