Title: Lion-sized Warrior Cats?
Post by: Lady_Alizarin on March 02, 2013, 10:49:54 pm
Have you ever noticed that some Warrior Cats characters out in Flourite Plains are bigger than what cats would be in reality. And I'm not saying some of these warrior characters are the size of a maine coon cat, but more like the size of a LION. That's not a domestic cat, that's Arnold Schwartzakitty!!  :o
Some of the people who play as warrior cats make big tom cats that are pretty much the size of the average mountain lion. They figure "Bigger is better." Come on... bigger isn't always better. Plus it's not very realistic in a Warriors RP that is meant to be realistic.

The fox characters I have are at medium size but they still come out smaller than some of these cats I encounter (even when in reality, foxes are bigger than domestic cats). In fact, I once ran into some warrior cats as Kopper Fox, and of course many of the cats were alot bigger than Kopper was. One of the warrior cat players said to the others, "Why is it that some of you make your cats so big? In reality foxes are bigger than cats. Something's not right here. This is so unrealistic." I have to applaude that person.
Even when I play as my bobcat character, and belive me I made him the size a normal bobcat should be, he still comes up short compared to some of the warrior cats I run into. And when some of these big bad warrior cats pick a fight with my bobcat character they will sometimes say "I am bigger and more powerful than YOU!" Yeah, if you were a maine coon maybe.... which they weren't. ::) In reality a bobcat would defeat a common domestic house cat, no problem. I used to live in a farm area where domestic cats would be killed by bobcats.

Do these pictures explain things better? They are pretty accurate.

Funny thing is that some of the warrior cats I have met were the size of the cougar on the picture above. Don't get me wrong, I'm not hating on anyone who has great big lion-sized warrior... but I am just wondering why you have to make them so BIG. What do you think about this?

XD, When I was on my warrior cat character, I saw you, and our clan was crowding around you.... They were huge compared to Kopper..... I really don't think it's realistic, as my warrior is very tiny compared to my clanmates...

I think it's because if the cats were a realistic size, then the Kits wuld just be a little bit smaller than a fully grown cat due to FH's sizes. I usually keep my cat characters small or realistic in terms of how big a toyger/tabby American shorthair cat cross would be, but then I get stick for "your apprentice size! not warrior size grow a bit!" and I'm usually "I'm being realistic- your the size of a dog!"

Sometimes I hate being realistically picky with my RPs and RP characters because I usually get shouted and or I can actually hear their sighs of annoyance.
But that is what I put it too- FH size restiction. They need to be bigger in order for the size of their kits to be kit-sized rather than almost the same size as them.

I think FH should add something to when your making your character on the height section it has Lion size (points arrow to normal lion size) and Wolf Size (points arrow to normal wolf size),it would make rps a bit a more realistic,but I agree.When I was on my hawk character going to catch a kit,this random warrior the size of a St. Bernard comes up and says 'Bites the hawk's wing in half nn!' So yea..I never make my warriors a certain size tall to keep my realisticness level up,but there are sometimes warrior cats in which their size is so great they can qualify for lions.

I totally agree with you, I have an Apprentice that is a Suitable Size,{Keep it mind this was a Realistic Clan, They don't even allow Manes.} Well, There was a Kit that was HUGE, Bigger than my Character. In OOC the person would often describe how they would Roleplay their kit "Lifting weights". Aahah, Okay. Something isn't right? The Roleplay was Literate as well. I just sat there like "Hmm..". If you see me in the Chat on FeralHeart, Most of the Time I'll go "Hmm.." when I don't appreciate what someone is typing or I'm rather annoyed with them. Needless to say, I hardly join Warrior cat clans now due to their Un-Realistic Sizes & Utter belief in Making their Cats the Biggest size possible.

I just think it's pretty hilarious.
Once I had a teen lion and he was the size that he should be, and there was a warrior cat nearby.
Almost all of the cats were as big as my character. -_-

But this doesn't really bother me much because I don't usually join warrior cat clans. c:

Well, I think that if you'd look a real size that you'd pretty much be classified as a kit. Like my character, Winterfeather, is pretty small compared to others and she's classified as an apprentice.
Also, one of my older male characters(I'm really a girl in real life) has a bone disease(like my dead cat, Poke. R.I.P.) and he's supper huge. So I guess in some was, unless they don't have that weird disease to explain it, it is realistic. :)

 The only plausible reason behind having such huge warriors would be if they were in a private map, Rping apart themselves. As Goldchocobo mentioned, they usually do this to make a more noticeable difference in size when compared to kits, etc.

And so, if they were in a private map, they could conceivably make bigger characters, so long as everything else was in proportion. It would be like looking at them with a magnifying glass, in a way. ^-^"
While I don't see anything wrong with it that way, I don't like seeing warriors the size of lions trying to fight other animals. That's where the unrealistic derpiness steps in.

So. I feel ya. . c:>

Cats should be smaller but the thing is if your adult cats are small then the kits will be pretty big even though they are as small as they can get.

You got a good point there, Gold.

This is what I do with most of my Warrior Cats characters. This is the size I set one of my main WC characters, and he still comes up smaller than some that I've met. Even though some of the others in the clan are a bit bigger than he his, I refuse to make him any bigger.

My adult cats are usually a little shorter than that xD  averageing where your weight bar would be, though length would be panned out as far as it could go.

o.0 well I have my cat to , about , ---- to max. im bigger than most cats i see , so i should probably make him smaller. To compensate i said i was a 2nd gen tiger-tabby/MaineCoon  hybrid.

Mine are also I little smaller than that.  I am leader of a clan and I find that some people don't like being bigger then their leader and get smaller.  I don't let huge cats join my clan.

I don't really get why this is such a big deal. They create them big because it's a cat roleplay. And it's a cat roleplay mushed with Feralheart sizes.

I really don't think that it would be fun to run around as a very tiny character, in a very large map, with a lot of other tiny characters. Think of it as. "Realistically and ICly we are not as big as you. But due to FH sizes we were forced to be this size" kind of thing.

They wouldn't be as big as a lion realistically.
And they wouldn't be as big as a dog, wolf, or wild cat realistically.

Ooooohhh. Yes. Pet peeve of mine. I'll get on as a full grown lioness, and some of the cats are still my height, or half of it, and still somehow beat me. I mean, really? In reality, you wouldn't even be a third as tall as me and I could you in a heartbeat. Seriously. Is this what the world's come to?

See, I totally understand that kind of thing.
As I said before, though, I think it's different when these giant warrior's decide to challenge/fight, or simply roleplay with real 'big cats', that actually should be large like that.
It isn't all that big of a deal, though, when they're just roleplaying together, as one group of warriors, and no other animals are taken into account.

Proportion issues. ;P

I understand the whole proportion thing but whenever I've made cat characters I like to make them the normal size of a cat. I don't see why people are complaining so much that if they use the "normal" size then they are the size of a kit and there's no differentiation between them. Not true. I've RPed a few times with small sized cats that have kits smaller than them but are all still at normal size. I also prefer smaller cats since it makes the environment larger and things that could normally not be used as dens before can be at the smaller size. Example like the scattered rocks around Fluorite. If you're on a big lion sized cat they are just rocks... If you're on a normal sized cat you can pretend they are dens.

Like White says what really annoys me is when these lion sized cats use their size as an excuse to attack creatures that would normally be larger than them... -_- It happens to me all the time. I sometimes walk around as my lion version of Lord Suragaha and some lion sized warrior cat kills me. Other times I've seen wolves in a pack get attacked and killed by a single lion sized warrior cat... It's ridiculous. I mean can you imagine a cat killing a lion or a wolf?

I don't know about you, but I've never seen a cat kill an entire pack of wolves in reality before. If ever a thing did happen, we would hear about it on a front page news story on an epic Animal Planet show called "When Little Animals Attack and KILL Big Beasts!"  :o

But seriously, it is very annoying to run into players on here who think that a common darn housecat can take on a big wolf or a lion, etc. Luckily, I have found a few sane Warrior Cats roleplayers who don't partake in that kind of nonsense. There was one I met today when I was roleplaying as Kojak the bobcat, and my friend was roleplaying as one of her warrior characters. Me and my friend's characters were acting aggressive toward one another, and this one cat out of no where was saying to my friend, "I admire your bravery, but the bobcat could easily overpower you." YAY! I applaud you, kind stranger for showing some common sense (my friend knew that, but we weren't really going to fight physically and kill each other). There was this other random cat around us that wanted to get involved into our fight and was trying everything in the book to make Kojak angry and attack her. So I just had my character ignore her until she finally gave up and stormed off.

This goes to show you that there are Warrior Cats roleplayers who know a thing or two about nature and logic. They are hard to find, but they are out there.

i RP warriors cats lots and if i make a large cat its about halfqway on the scale and usualy a maincoon or large brawn/silver tabby tom.
if i play a female or normal tom i usaly set it to a bit below halfway.
i tihnk they make them big so that the apps and kits can be smaller...
but if i run into a lion or wolf, even if im bigger i will try and RP as if i was a small house cat
but i was in a RP once where the cats claimed to be gifted with the size of a lion....that RP died e.e.

Now I do agree with you there. I was walking around on my runt warrior cat and I came across these HUGE tom-cats attacking 2 foxes. Of course, being the softy that I am, helped the foxes. Eventually I realized that they were just using their size as an excuse to attack and kill whole packs. So I came up to the supposed "leader" and told him that his sizes were unrealistic and that, in real life, a good-sized fox could kill a group of 3 to 4 cats. So he finally jumped back to reality and realized he looked like a lion in a cat suit.

Eventually I went to recruit and I saw this gigantic she-cat bigger than a male. It was awkward and I told her that I would accept semi-large cats but not HER size. She changed it to the size of a KIT. I freaked out and she said that she wanted to be smaller than me and my character was already that size of a NEW apprentice.

In some terms it could be realistic. If they were in a private map where no other creature could come in, that'd be perfectly normal. Poke was a huge cat because he had a growth disease. It was sad because, eventually, that cat would die unless treated. Tigerclaw was an unusually large cat if you take that in mind. It could just be because he worked for a good amount of time as an apprentice, warrior, and kit. Or it could be just because he was an unusually big-boned cat.

like i said, if i make a big cat for RP size perpoise and we run into a fox, i RP as if i was smaller even if im bigger than them.

Ok, ok. I know I am a bit of teh epicness of derpiness know as random lion-sized warrior cats. XD
But I will never max out anything, since I don't really like bulky animals in FH, they look choppy a bit ^^'
A N Y W A Y, before I get myself too off-topic, it's because of the relative FH sizes, they don't exactly have perfect house cat sizes. >.<
But, yes. It is because kits are the smallest size, usually, and stuff like that. ^^

And, I think it's very out of character for the wild Clan cats to say '-actaks muthur egel an hr babbes-' it irritates me and makes me want to throw them into a bucket of lava. -_-

I've seen many warrior cat characters like this. All the size of lions and stuff. And I've seen the opposite swell. Where there are warrior characters that are the size of kits. (lol... wut?)

But just to clear things up, Maine coons are very big. I believe they are the second biggest domesticated cat breed in the world. So of corse they are going to often be bigger then regular cats. Just not ridiculously huge. I have made Maine coon characters in the past but I kept them to size and add all the necessary fur, but most of the time people claim to be Maine coons although look nothing like one.

(If you would like to see a Maine coon, look in my signature. Thats my little kitty, who is a female Maine coon.)

Edit: Comparison of a regular cat(Okay, maybe a young cat) to a Maine coon

I get kind of annoyed by that. Once I was on my doberman character and I came across a group of warrior cats, all much bigger than me. Cats are not bigger than dobermans. Then the cats all started attacking me and powerplaying, so I just left.

Also, can people not make their warrior cats look like cats? They have a option called "Cat Ears" for a reason you know (Neko Ears works too), but everyone uses "normal ears". They also leave the muzzle way to long for a domestic cat, and I've seen many warrior cats with lion tails. I mean really, most warrior cats I see just look like bizarrely colored big cats; but it's really it's pretty easy to make a domestic cat.

I get kind of annoyed by that. Once I was on my doberman character and I came across a group of warrior cats, all much bigger than me. Cats are not bigger than dobermans. Then the cats all started attacking me and powerplaying, so I just left.

Also, can people not make their warrior cats look like cats? They have a option called "Cat Ears" for a reason you know (Neko Ears works too), but everyone uses "normal ears". They also leave the muzzle way to long for a domestic cat, and I've seen many warrior cats with lion tails. I mean really, most warrior cats I see just look like bizarrely colored big cats; but it's really it's pretty easy to make a domestic cat. I think people just get lazy so they leave the default and just change the color and mane and such.

I'm like the only normal looking, but lion-sized, warrior cat. XD

Warrior Cat RPs That Follow The Storyline of Warriors:
Firestar = License to godmod
Tigerstar = License to be the size of an airplane
Leopardstar = License to yell at anyone whos not RiverClan to "Get out of the water, you can't swim!"
Blackstar = License to just be a huge thorn in your side

Lol XD

The other day I was on my bobcat character, and I ran into an apprentice that was just as big as he was. When we got attacked by some random wolf, this happened... *some names were changed*
Kojak Bobcat: -He saw the wolf and made a loud yowling sound that sounded like a woman scream to try and scare it off-
Jaguarpaw: o.o))
Kojak Bobcat: Some bobcats can make that sound, but cougars are better at it))
Jaguarpaw: -She hissed at the wolf and made a yowling sound that sounded like a train-
Kojak Bobcat: ._.))
Jaguarpaw: Yeah don judge me -.-))

Yeah... I know for sure that a common cat wouldn't sound like a train XD  But I do know that bobcats and lynxes can make some loud sounds. Take this lynx for example

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GbhkXg9iFYA (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GbhkXg9iFYA)

I've seen many warrior cat characters like this. All the size of lions and stuff. And I've seen the opposite swell. Where there are warrior characters that are the size of kits. (lol... wut?)

But just to clear things up, Maine coons are very big. I believe they are the second biggest domesticated cat breed in the world. So of corse they are going to often be bigger then regular cats. Just not ridiculously huge. I have made Maine coon characters in the past but I kept them to size and add all the necessary fur, but most of the time people claim to be Maine coons although look nothing like one.

(If you would like to see a Maine coon, look in my signature. Thats my little kitty, who is a female Maine coon.)

Edit: Comparison of a regular cat(Okay, maybe a young cat) to a Maine coon
(http://i50BannedImageSite/2hqa2d4.jpg)
*Note... this is not my picture*

Yes. Maine coons are big hefty breeds. I think the big fat cat I have is big... till he was put next to a Maine coon. It put him to shame on the size scale. And yeah, I have run into a few Warrior cat players in the game who claimed to be Maine coons or part Maine coon... and that was all a big lie. It was pretty much like "Well I'm part Maine coon. I can bust your tail no problem since I'm bigger!"   ::)

A forest cat compared to a house cat is a bit bigger, if you have an outside cat.
Maine coons and outdoor cats can be pretty big, but lion-sized or tiger-sized cats is not acceptable unless the tiger or lion-sized cat IS a tiger or lion. I've seen a big warrior cat twice, though one was pretty nice, didn't seem like he would try and overpower someone with its height, while the second one I've seen was HUUUUUGGGGEEE, like the biggest size you can be.
It didn't say anything to me, nor did I say anything to it.
The biggest size I would like a cat to be is just under the middle. Not full size! My warrior cats are mostly normal sized, my biggest most often is just a bit under the middle. One strange thing I've seen was Firestar the size of a KIT.
I just realized... Sol was a Maine coon, so yeah, Maine Coons are the limit in Warrior Cat sizes, I'd suggest?
Not everyone knows what realistic and whats unrealistic, though. But the sizes they should know.

By the way, that lynx video... I didn't know they can yowl like that.  :-\

 :P  this what happened to me



 on my leader cat , wolfstar , I was along  the edge of some clans " territory" and...

Wolfstar: Lovely day on feralheart..
 Barkttoth :   * barkttoth comes and growls his huge mucles growing

Wolfstar: Um.... yeah...

Medcat :  what are you doing! our territory

Wolfstar: Oh great.... well  its a free map

Barkfang : he lunges with pure muscle and throws wolfstar

Wolfstar :  ( i just  go around  with it and jump into the water to amuse him then i get back up , getting in serious mod , hoping  for a  good fight  )

Wolfstar : - Wolfstar shakes his sodden  pelt   , he unsheathed his claws in anticipation of a fight

A huge , cat with about every  size thing maxed out comes up to me ( antfang , his user is smathoo hehe )

Antfang : he growls and uses a ton of purposeless words that i don't really know of so i just guessed he claws my face? and I  attacked back by  leaping onto his back sinking my fangs into his vital vain  trying to constrict   airflow to his head ( suffocation and eternal bleeding )

The two huge Siberian tiger sized cats  say im a powerplayer and  barkfang blocks me  

Wolfstar:  im not powerplaying , if a cat was smart enough to think of an actuall stratagitic plan ,  a cat could probably do that  ))

At this point only the med and the hugest cat m, antfang haven't blocked me

Med cat : Ugh! blocking!    

Wolfstar: Oh well , so  much for a fun fight ))

Antfang comes up  and says :   Antfang  grabs  him by the neck and  takes a huge chunk off , he then cuts off his body slices


Wolfstar , uhm   ok.... ( blocked )  ))

So i did ,  unblocked him later and now , my clan is allies with his and any hostility was cleared up when i showed   up with a small party of warriors and asked for alliship with his leader

basically the entire fight the cats used their maxed out size to basically try to kill me.....  sigh  that's why my warriors  are given a test to see if they are qualified  or at least don't Godmod

This happened yesterday,I was laying around in Stonebridge on my Mexican Wolf character,and I looked about 82 degrees to my right and I saw a warrior cat leader named Sunstar.From where I was he didn't look as big.But I quickly ran over there and back.And he was BIGGER than my WOLF character!And you know what sounds stupid?!He advertised that his clan was realistic!I tried to ignore him,after all it was only one cat.Then more leaders/warriors or whatever started arriving and they were almost as big as my wolf!I just got annoyed and left for another popular place to lie around at...that's when I saw Red <3....

Nowadays,warrior cats RPs are more semi-realistic,sometimes totally unrealistic even if they say it's 100% realistic.So it's no wonder why we see lion-sized warrior cats around.

 Normaly you will see large ones for if its a mapped one, b/c then its just them on map and theydont have to compare to others ike wolves, but in public it might be wise to be maybe half size of wolf,

Well I dont think it's that bad because if you wanted to go full realistic then the character bars would be all the way to the left then you wouldn't be able to tell adult from kit. Besides I don't understand why it's such a big deal. I have never once seen a Warrior Cat role play against lions or wolves... :/
Title: Re: Lion-sized Warrior Cats?
Post by: circusfreak on April 09, 2013, 03:07:41 am
I agree with Dark. The majority of you claim it is 'unrealistic' for this degree of size to be commencing throughout the warriors, but in truth it's as realistic as it can get. Kits, compared to full grown adult cats, are going to be smaller, we should all know that. The comparison would just be so much more realistic when a full grown warrior is situated next to that tiny kit. Now, I don't have much of an argue for people with freakishly small warriors, but let me go ahead and ask you this: Why do you even care? I see the lot of you complaining about warriors, so that gives me the impression you don't associate with them deliberately very often (and before anyone replies saying warriors are the ones that associate with them first, that's not what I'm saying. You all very well know you could easily ignore them and/or walk away). Why should you care about their affairs when it's obvious you couldn't give a crap about them in the first place?

Besides, I've seen freakishly small adult lions/wolves, and I don't see anybody getting onto them in this thread. It's like everyone has it out for warriors, and the whole argument seems unfair when put in their perspective.

I'm sorry this rage is so long. I've been needing to get this off my chest for awhile. I just find this whole ordeal ridiculous and a waste of everyone's time.
Title: Re: Lion-sized Warrior Cats?
Post by: Hotdogsrule on April 09, 2013, 08:56:40 pm
Yeah. I think that the adults could still be the default size, or a little more or less so, and apprentices half or more to the default, then kits around the bottom.
But mapped groups can do whatever they like, they aren't bothering me.
When I go to join a warriors group. (80% of the time I join mapped), I try to F3 the average size so I don't come up, looking to join, 10x smaller or larger.

Post by: MoonRose12 on April 10, 2013, 02:12:16 am
Dark, in some ways that is true. BUT, in other ways you are wrong. There have been MANY cases where a WC attacks and ATTEMPTS to fight off a wolf or a lion. And, frankly, I find that quite sensible that they do.
In the books, Tigerstar "recruits" the dogs to help. I, myself, have in many cases found out that having a few wolves during a battle will help. I observed the battle at L Island a few weeks, maybe days, ago where PossessedClan had SmallTail, there deputy, recruit a few wolves and dogs to help battle. Sadly, the clan they were battling kept saying that they would just ignore or block the wolves. They turned to be fighting the wolves all together. All-In-all, one of the other clan even asked if they could recruit SmallTail's wolves. I laughed my head off, and they turned out to flee like mice to their little holes.

Ooh I know this feeling very well - seeing a character, whether it be a cat, a fox or a wolf, that seems far to big that what it would actually be. It can be very irritating, and sometimes I feel like saying "Your character is completely out of proportion, chill out with the macho-ness!" Of course, who am I to tell people what size their characters should be? The size gauge on the character creator doesn't have universal units of measurement, and so people will interpret it differently.

Personally, I gauge it on the default starting point in the middle. On the canine model, I'd say the centre point would be the size of an average grey wolf. On the feline model, the centre point would be a average size of a lion. And then I use that as a baseline to decide the size of my character. For example, when making a fox character I'd use my 'baseline measurement'. Going by the size comparison you've shown us, I'd say the fox is around... maybe half the size of the wolf, probably a bit less. So I'd put the slider somewhere between the lowest measurement and the middle one. Maybe adjusting it slightly for characteristics such as gender. This is mainly for realistic characters.

For unrealistic/fantasy characters, huge sizes don't bother me too much...within reason. A demonic dog could easily be quite a bit larger than your average wolf, but perhaps not gigantic. But that's up for debate XD.

I make my cats large to suite the size of the meshs, not the real size of the actual animal. So if the trees are so large, my cat is going to match the size so the cat would look more realistic size against the size of the trees.

This is actually a really good point.
Plus, it covers for all characters who are made to be obscenely huge... Most of the public maps are made with enormous meshes (particularly the trees), and so I can see the character proportions being adjusted to match the environment.
I hadn't thought of that in terms of warriors, but that does make a lot of sense. If the meshes in the public maps were smaller (or perhaps just more realistic) altogether, a lot of people wouldn't feel the need to make such huge characters.

According to my logic, I think that cats in Feral Heart should be the smallest size
Why?
Because: The cubs on Feral Heart are usually the smallest size, and domestic cats are usually the size of a cub, so that is why my cat character is the smallest size...

I understand where you are coming form I have to admit I do make big cat characters that a re a little bigger than a maine coon breed, but the ones who are the size of lions are ridiculous. I mean yes I like being bigger because it looks odd when a female cat has kits that aren't far from the size of their mother. So I make mine a bit bigger. Yet lion sized ones are silly, and not needed. So part of you I agree with, and honestly I do not know if you would agree with me on this matter. ^^

I am pretty sure all of this was covered, but again I have to say this.

If you are mapless, and are open to others role playing with you, then yes. Being a smaller size matters. Because you are directly interacting with other species.
However when using a map, that there are NO OTHER SPECIES interacting with you, that's when size matters.
I used to run many cat based role plays, I kept my adult members over default. Why? Because we're going by size base from kit to adult. The kit should not be shoulder to shoulder with its parent when just being born. Logically that would kill the mother. Usually the maps that hold cats are huge base so make this more realistic to their sizes. Making the role play sizes realistic. "being the sizes of lions" no offense but if you've noticed lions are usually capped height, or near, and then they size next to "dragons" that should be gigantic. If we're going by realism here, adult LIONESS are as BIG AS lions themselves. It's all about perspective and what you are role playing, and who with. To each role play is their own, their own requirements. The feral heart sizes are only so much, so little room to actually make sizing 100% accurate.

Yes, I do see that they are trying ti be size realistic because the kits would be huge in comparison to the size of a domestic cat, but the powerplaying is really getting out of hand!

Fang M Dragon {me}: flies around, looking at the Dragon sized cats (they were as big as me .-.) and lands on the ground.

I usually play on the feline character that is a wildcat. Wildcats are a little bit bigger than domestic cats, so that's how I created my char. And it irritates me when I pass warrior APPRENTICE bigger than me...
