(NOTE: IT IS IMPERATIVE THAT YOU READ EVERYTHING BELOW! THANK YOU!)
I know this is going to sound kind of cheesy, but romance is in the air! This activity is honestly pretty simple. Create an OC, match them with the OC above (or wait for someone to do the same if the above OC is taken), and then debate! Allow me to explain further.
THE BASICS
1. If the OC above is taken by another user, you can begin with a clean slate! You are "Creator 1". Your task is simple: just create a Warriors OC. A template is provided down below.
Note: You will eventually be tagged by "Creator 2", or the poster down below you, but more on that in a moment.
2. If the OC above you is not taken, then you are "Creator 2". You must also create an OC. Tag the person above you to let them know that your character is ready, once their bio is complete. Again, a template is provided down below.
3. That was pretty simple right? Now both of you must label your characters as "interested", or as a "potential pairing" (with the other character). All it takes is a quite change to their bio.
4. It's debate time! Everyone can get involved, including the original creators themselves! The following discussion is to take place: would the two characters above be compatible as mates? How would you find them as a pairing? Do you think they should just be friends instead? While you're at it, feel free to send a compliment to the original creators if you happen to like the OC's, and maybe what you like in particular about them. We are all about positive vibes here and giving encouragement and feedback!
Ultimately it is up to the creators of the OC's if they will become mates or not, but don't let that discourage you from commenting anyway! Voice your opinion!
5. The cycle continues!
(Note: If a debate hasn't occurred yet, you can still post your OC for the next pairing! Debates or discussions about OC pairings are eternal really, so long as there are people to discover them and are invested in saying their opinion. This means no time limit, even if the OC's are a page back or more!)
What do you need in your OC? Displayed below is a character template, should you choose to use it; it is encouraged that you do so! Included within it are "Basic Stats", "Physical Appearance", "Personality Traits", "Other", "History", and "Paired With".
Basic Stats = name, gender, age, etc.
Physical Appearance = their physical traits, including their pelts.
Personality Traits = their personality.
Other = miscellaneous info about your character. (Ex. If they have any phobias, if they have any disabilities, what their favorite food is, whatever your mind can conjure up!)
History = their history prior to them meeting their mate. If you want to continue beyond that, up to you!
Paired With = tag the name of the OC they are partnered with alongside the name of their creator for everyone to see (Ex. Paired with Willow, created by foxqueen87)
I highly encourage you make your characters as detailed as possible! One-liners are okay, but they hardly provide any kind of depth. You and your creation partner are writing these characters together, so decently lengthy personalities and histories are important!
(Note: LGBTQ characters are not only accepted, but encouraged! If you ask me, the more the merrier, but up to you! I'm kind of biased, I love MxM or FxF romances.

Preferences = their preference (ex hetero, lesbian/gay, bi, ace, demi, bicurious, etc.)
Allegiance = their lifestyle (rogue, loner, kittypet; no Clan or Tribe cats**)
Weight = their weight (scrawny, skinny, average, above average, plump, etc.)
Size = their body size (small, medium, larger than average, etc.)
Everywhere you see a "blah" in the template above, that is where you put the actual information.
(**Why no Tribe or Clan cats? This would require a ton of work in terms of their actual Clan/Tribe in terms of atmosphere, possible history, etc, and this is not what this thread is about. So in this world, every cat is "free"; they are either a loner, a rogue, or a kittypet.)
I'll start things off by posting my own OC, for reference! I anxiously await my first reply, and all future replies that will hopefully come this thread's way!
BASIC INFORMATION
Name: Lavender
Gender: She-cat
Age: 22 moons
Preferences: Bi
Allegiance: Loner (former kittypet)
Weight: Skinny
Size: Average
PHYSICAL APPEARANCE
Lavender's coat of fur is predominantly a shade of dark gray, but she also has a white chest and underbelly. Her pelt is packed with many details, including darker gray stripes running along her tail, faint light gray stripes running along her back, and many dark gray marks, including spots, line the outskirts of her white belly fur. She also has white socks, white-tipped ears, and numerous markings are present on her face, including a slightly lighter gray muzzle and white rings that wrap around her eyes; in general her face is packed with many shades of gray, with tiny splotches of white and black mixed in occasionally. She has faded yellow eyes that appear amber under warm lighting and gray or silver under cold lighting.
Lavender has a very lithe frame, which includes a long bushy tail, long and nimble legs with dainty paws, and a thin waist/stomach area. Other characteristics of hers include her somewhat large triangular ears, her cute black nose, and her overall very pretty face.
PERSONALITY TRAITS
Lavender has remained as sweet on the streets as she was within the nests lining them. She is a kind, compassionate soul, something that isn't too common amongst rogues or loners in her area. She has developed street smarts however and is often distrusting of strangers, although she tries not to pick fights when she can help it.
Her curiosity has never left her, so she always has a desire to adventure, even though she prefers to stick close to home. She can be immature at times but is usually a rational, dependable, and very intelligent character.
Lavender is a somewhat heavy introvert, which suits her lifestyle given that she rarely interacts with other cats. She does get bored or lonely on occasion however, often wishing for a friend or even perhaps a mate one day. In terms of her preferences, she is pretty open about it, especially after discovering she has a heavy preference for she-cats.
Flaws in her personality include her short patience and her short fuse, which can lead to outbursts if left unchecked. She's also on edge a lot, meaning she is rarely relaxed outside of confined spaces that have a quick exit. She also deals with self-doubt, particularly with her not-so-stellar social skills, as well as her body, thinking she isn't pretty enough, even though she clearly is quite attractive.
OTHER
- She has a greater understanding of Twolegs and their ways than most cats after having lived as a kittypet for many moons
- She loves rainstorms; she finds they calm her down and help her to sleep. She also loves getting wet in the rain
- Her favorite food are birds or mice; when she gets tired of begging food from Twolegs she ventures into the woods beyond her home and hunts there
- She was born with a poor sense of smell for a cat, but her remarkable hearing and eyesight about make up for it
HISTORY
For much of her life Lavender lived as a kittypet. At the age of 3 moons old, just after she had been weaned from her mother, she was separated from her mother and siblings and went to live with another Twoleg family. She appreciated the new accommodations, after she had recovered enough from the loss of family. The Twoleg kits would often play roughly with her however, forcing her to retreat to high ground every time she saw them. Her new home was not to be however. When she was 10 moons old, her Twolegs left her with another kind Twoleg, and she never saw them again.
Lavender appreciated her new housefolk, but she felt she didn't feel at home. A moon later she broke out and wandered the streets for some time. She didn't know how to hunt, defend herself, or where any good shelter was. She was quickly found by another Twoleg family, and she vowed to never roam around the streets as a loner again. She appreciated these new housefolk, even though they locked her in a small room alone every night. She became quite plump and was teased by a couple of neighboring rogues every so often, but she tried to ignore their harsh comments the best she could.
Tragedy struck several moons later. Her housefolk's home was broken into late one night and the criminal opened the door to the bathroom to have Lavender pounce at them. She was knocked unconscious, but ultimately survived the ordeal; her housefolk were not quite so lucky.
Lavender has wandered the streets of Twolegplace ever since. Several Twolegs have attempted to capture her or invite her into their dens, but she has ultimately ran away from each encounter. After what had happened over the course of her life, she has decided that the life of a kittypet was not for her. She has also since lost a lot of weight and remains skinny, but not overly scrawny. Unsettled by her past, she tries to keep it to herself the best she can.
