Thank you so much for all of these awesome names!! I've drawn a few so far, though I have more I want to make (like Hyenatusk, that one's so cool, and Lilyhush), but I thought you'd enjoy seeing the few I've managed to get done! I'll post more as I make more.

riverclan — year ten — newleaf

dawnflower retires. thunderthroat dies.

brackenpelt and jayclaw become warriors.

shadekit dies.

brightstem and vanillastone have one kit, curlkit. (note: i think curlfeather's canon mother is duskfur, but i believe i missed that when i killed duskfur whenever she died.)

[far-side-skies]

Quick wip of Daystalker. I am yeeting this at y'all at the speed of sound.

Unfortunately work has kicked my ass not even a day after my holiday but I at least wanted to get this guy's colours down before the deadline.

Once again, introducing Daystalker! An ancient demigod Champion of the hunt, he is a mythical figure among his kind and currently resides on the Far Side with his partner Honeytongue and the pride of mostly adopted kids they share.

It's been so much fun incorporating more of @ashe-alter's dawnrunner lore into this guy as it's developed, and I'm so pleased with how this guy has turned out. He went from an egotistical trophy-hunting antagonist to a fluffy old Dad who, to quote Grimm, is akin to a 'grumpy Mufasa'. XD

More story under the cut because this got a bit long.

Daystalker is ancient. Thousands of years old thanks to the immortality granted to him by the giants who ascended him into a Champion. He's fiercely protective of his children and absolutely adores his partner to pieces. As a demigod though, he's also taken up the duty of protecting the rest of his kind, going so far as to commit the ultimate taboo among Dawnrunners: killing other dawnrunners. It's never without cause though; he only targets those who kill their own kind without care for the consequence, doing it to protect the rest. On rare occasions, it is a genuine act of mercy. For each kill, he carves a notch into his horns and makes sure to remember the name of each one. He takes no joy in this part of his life.

As a demigod, he's gained a number of supernatural abilities that aid him in his duties, including the following:

Invisibility - what it says on the tin

Silent Step - should he choose, Daystalker can move in total silence. This combined with his camouflage abilities have lead to playing numerous tricks on people

Thunderthroat - a common ability for Champions, Daystalker has a roar that can echo between Terras and bolster his fellow hunters. He also has a banshee screech that instills fear in prey and enemies

Shapeshifting - Daystalker can transform into a beastly chimera, an animalistic form of the Dawnrunner species

Keen Senses - Daystalker has night vision, a sense of hearing that can pick up sounds across Terras, a sense of smell that can track something even if it flies, and can sense vibrations.

Synthesia - Smells register as colour tracks in Daystalker’s sight should he so choose

Walking on Sunshine - (sue me) most Champions get wings to help them travel between terras, however Daystalker is able to create platforms of solid sunlight that he can use to walk from Terra to Terra. If he makes them big enough, he can also transport other people on them.

Endless Stamina - This man can run for days without tiring. The ultimate pursuit predator.

Strength of Many - Proportionately, Dawnrunners are already incredibly strong compared to most other races. Daystalker has that strength multiplied by ten

Power of the Sun - Is at his strongest during daylight hours. He’s solar-powered. Certain celestial events such as eclipses though, sap his strength

"how big or small is their family? who did they live with growing up? do they live with anyone now?"

Ask for Mossclaw 👀 if you don't mind me asking your warriors ocs kfndk

Good questions!!! I don't mind at all! I've been slowly rewriting her and fleshing out some of her backstory so the below is all tentative at the moment. I found an old scrap of notebook paper from when I was young (circ. 2005 probably) detailing Mossclaw's family LOL. It's funny seeing what got transferred over and what didn't. I think her immediate family was her dad, mom, and I might keep her two younger sisters (definitely not their names). Maybe I'll make them half-sisters or born much later after she leaves her original clan. Her dad Might still be the og clan's leader or a higher-up rank, and maybe her mom is still named Streamstone, idk yet. She has a great great great great grandpa named Thistleclaw too. DW about him yet. Her original clan, Stormclan, is about normal clan size, ~30ish cats. It's a very tight-knit and insular group with its own set of traditions and spin on Starclan faith. She left (or was thrown out?) of her old clan and has been wandering ever since. I have a few different "versions" of her story or maybe even just points on her timeline because I've used her for different RPs / plotting scenarios over the years...but TLDR she ends up near / around another few clans of cats and is taken in. (Some names of friends' ocs that she's interacted with / lived with that I can think of are Mouselegs, Henbit, Thunderthroat, Brokenstep, Shuteye...) So at least a string of found family, even if she feels she can never go back to her old clan.

I don’t play with my Halloween kitten often, but I still love her!

Here are, by Discogs' ratings, the 10 most valuable singles in my collection. The descriptions will aim to give you as much detail as they can about each, if there's any terminology that needs explaining just ask!

They'll go in reverse order:

10) John's Children - Desdemona

B-side: Remember Thomas a Becket

Label: Track, cat 604003

Year: 1967

Highest sold for on Discogs: £122

Rare Record Price Guide Value (in mint near unplayed condition): £150

Price paid: £30 on eBay

Condition: Record and sleeve VG (some noise)

This Desdemona, the rarest of all the singles I own by my hero Marc Bolan, is made much more valuable as it has the rare picture sleeve, an oddity for British singles at the time. Both sides are decent mod tracks and the A-side was banned by the BBC for the lyrics 'Lift up your skirt and fly' which Bolan maintained was about a witch.

9) Nicky James - So Glad We Made It

A-side: I Need To Be Needed

Label: Philips, cat BF 1566

Year: 1967

Highest on Discogs: £140

RRPG mint Value: £7 (!)

Price paid: 40p in Plastic Wax Records

Condition: Solid VG (edge cracked but not affecting grooves)

Nicky James aka 'Thunderthroat' was a big voiced but obscure singer, who came close to hits and almost joined the Moody Blues, who later went on to enormous success, signing him to their record label Threshold. I found this after hours of searching and got really excited (confused stares in the shop) and got it home only to see its low book value. However, it was not listed on Discogs, and so I put it in the database myself, to find a few years later that the B-side is considered a collectible Northern Soul record and it had started to sell for way more money! Not my favourite record by him though, which is Reaching For The Sun.

8) The Creation - Making Time

B-side: Try And Stop Me

Label: Planet, cat PLF 116

Year: 1966, charted at #49 for 1 week

Highest on Discogs: £150

Book value: £35 (would be £50 with sleeve)

Price paid: £25 on Discogs (lucky!)

Condition: largely VG+ but one deeper scratch causes pops

The mod band The Creation were rivals to the Who in their heyday, and this aggressive punky single, produced by the renowned Shel Talmy and issued on his (uber-cool) Planet label, showcases their talent, as well as the invention of playing the electric guitar with a violin bow to crunchy effect! It's a classic and a must-have for any collector.

7) The Misunderstood - I Can Take You To The Sun

B-side: Who Do You Love

Label: Fontana, cat. TF 777

Year: 1966

Highest on Discogs: £150

Book value: £80

Price paid: 50p in a warehouse clearance in Cadoxton, Wales

Condition: it appears that this was left by the radiator at some point, and it's a bit wavey around the edge. This causes a few wobbles in the sound and a little sizzle at the end, but still listenable

The Misunderstood were a mysterious American outfit, who only released this single while in their original line up, with the dual guitars of Englishman Tony Hill and Glenn Ross Campbell (not the famous one). 1966 puts it at the cutting edge of psychedelia, and both tracks are amazing and utter classics, with the A-side taking you to space and back and the B-side being the most screechy Bo Diddley cover ever! It was a dream to find a copy in the dingiest place in the world, and well worth the damp knees and hours without any natural light.

6) The Maytones - Botheration and The G.G. Rhythm Section - TNT

Label: Blue Cat, cat. (Haha) BS 165

Year: 1969

Highest on Discogs: £150

Book price: £35

Paid: it's still a secret but it's around £30-35, from Plastic Wax

Condition: solid VG again, which for a reggae/rocksteady single is practically a dream.

This single split between two artists very popular in Jamaica (The G.G. All Stars were connected to pioneer Ernest Ranglin) was released on the Blue Cat label, arguably the rarest of the numerous sub-labels of legendary company Trojan Records. Both sides are chilled rocksteady and among the label's best work, justifying the steep rise in prices for it. My reggae buying career has been essentially for the labels they were released on, but this was a huge coup as it was a brilliant record too!

5) James Royal - I Can't Stand It

B-side: A Little Bit Of Rain

Label: CBS, cat. 2959

Year: 1967

Highest on Discogs (and only sale to date): £150

Book price: £125

Price paid: 50p in Rick's Records (rip), Hastings

Condition: looks utterly trashed and has a small crack going into the playing surface alas. However it plays very well given its appearance - it's loud!

James Royal is not a well known name - he made a fair few singles before joining a covers band and leaving the big time for Australia, having played with a host of future stars (Rick Wakeman of Yes, John Entwistle of the Who, Nick Simper from Deep Purple) along the way. This classy two-sider is his rarest record and shows his vocals to great effect against an amazingly lavish production. As usual with soul records, the demo copy (which amazingly was the reason I didn't leave it in the box for so cheap!) doubles the value, although any copy of this fetches big prices - that £150 is looking a little low. I more treasure it because musically it's superb. Check it out!

4) Kaleidoscope - A Dream For Julie

B-side: Please Excuse My Face

Label: Fontana, cat. TF 895

Year: 1968

Highest Discogs: £175

Book price: £40

Paid: £5 on eBay

Condition: has a crack which has led to a small piece missing. I have just about got it to play without the needle getting stuck in there. You can appreciate this one's a 'collection filler' (for someone who didn't care - I bought it for the music obviously!)

Kaleidoscope are a now legendary English psych-pop outfit, who narrowly missed success both in this form, making waves with 'Flight From Ashiya' (which I also own after a long and arduous search) and as their later Fairfield Parlour incarnation, scoring a near-hit with 'Bordeaux Rosé'. As I Luv Wight they recorded the theme for the Isle Of Wight Festival in 1970, but the festival DJ ignored instructions to play it in between every act and tossed his copy into the crowd (it was perhaps a little too advanced, but I like it (and own it)). A Dream For Julie is a bizarre danceable record with sheer nonsense lyrics ('Mexican clowns' and 'strawberry monkeys' surround Julie for starters). The B-side is typically mellow and stately.

3) The Kinks - Long Tall Sally

B-side: I Took My Baby Home

Label: Pye, cat. 7N.15611

Year: 1964

Highest on Discogs: £207

Book price: £120

Paid: £16 on eBay

Condition: VG playing above grade - a surprisingly great copy! Probably one of the best in this list

The Kinks need no introduction, but this was their first ever single released just two records before You Really Got Me practcially invented fuzz guitar and changed rock forever. Both sides are snappy beat numbers with character and the characteristic weird vocals of Ray Davies. eBay does have miracles - this bidding war happened in prime hours (8pm) and I held on by 50p or so, for a record which otherwise would fetch much higher and has a huge collector's market in beat and Kinks fans alike.

2) Crocheted Doughnut Ring - Two Little Ladies (Azalea and Rhododendron)

B-side: Nice

Year: 1967

Label: Polydor, cat. 56204

Highest on Discogs: £307

Book value: £40

Paid: £12.50 on eBay

Condition: VG-, crackles a fair bit as both sides are quiet.

The (Crocheted) Doughnut Ring were an obscure outfit who issued around four singles in the late 60s. This record's A-side is a rather meandering psych-pop affair which is rather soft. Having no other material for a B-side, producer Peter Eden (who lent his talents to a whole other bunch of records and adds collectibility) fooled around with the A-side tapes and created an incredible soundscape - inventing ambient music in 1967! There's nothing else like it for at least another four years, when Brian Eno and Robert Fripp released (No Pussyfooting) (which I do own, and yes, the brackets are part of the title), the first major incidence of tape manipulation in popular music after The CDR's accident!

1) The Spectres - I (Who Have Nothing)

B-side: Neighbour Neighbour

Label: Piccadilly, cat. 7N.35339

Year: 1966

Highest on Discogs: £350

Book value: £300

Paid: Nothing! This was in my aunt's garage in Manchester, although mum has no idea who owned it in the first place - mysterious Auntie Laura was the only candidate. Other records in the box were also rare, causing disbelief as mum thought they were awful!

Condition: incredibly for a record stored without any protective sleeve in a flimsy box in the dankest most cluttered garage in existence, it's a solid VG with great sound.

This record, the first of three, was the first recorded appearance of Status Quo! This creates its incredible value, although it is the most common of the three (not saying much). Both sides are not brilliant versions of standards recorded by lots of bands, although I (like others) have a soft spot for the B-side, which is an R&B number with traces of the psychedelic sound early Quo (before they decided to only write songs with three chords!) were to hit success with, as Pictures of Matchstick Men became a top 10 hit. In between the Spectres and that single, the band were known as Traffic Jam, and the Almost But Not Quite There (accurate name!) single is the most sought after. My aunt nearly threw it away! Jesus!

I was missing a male charr and a herald, so I used the recent character slot sale to fix that. And here he is - meet Alon Thunderthroat!
