I used CatGen to create custom moooostly canon accurate ThunderClan in ClanGen. This ClanGen takes place right after the battle with BloodClan, the moon Squirrelkit and Leafkit are born. Old faces like Firestar and Cinderpelt are back with their clanmates, along with Ravenpaw, Barley, Princess and Smudge outside the clans (and some StarClan and Dark Forest Spirits!) . There's a lot of canon divergence, including cats that were omitted entirely and some timeline tweaks, which are detailed below cut. Some cats I added for funsies; this ThunderClan includes a spared Scourge grappling with his actions, Swiftpaw, and Snowkit!

Omitted Cats:
General Note: A lot of cats who were dead before the events of The Prophecies Begin are not here. I'd honestly love to add more guys into StarClan and probably will, but the absurd amount of Unsavory Relationships created by the gnarled family trees of early Warrior Cats would literally make the game less fun. So a lot of cats like Redtail and Spottedleaf or Lionheart do not have parents coded into the game, and minus Thunderstar and Jake, no cats from before TPB are in StarClan. Maybe one day I'll make a living document custom ThunderClanGen, but this is just for fun, and so I'd like to steer away from that. The other clans are present, as in RiverClan, ShadowClan, and WindClan Exist in the Game, but since ClanGen only allows you to toggle the allegiances for one clan plus cats outside the clans, their warriors aren't coded into the game. This (unfortunately) includes Tawnypaw.
This is an entirely self indulgent AU and so a few cats who I just straight up don't like aren't here. Some cats didn't make it because I wanted to keep the roster small. The following list of cats are cats who were alive during the time this is occurring, but were omitted from ThunderClan:
Bramblepaw, Ashpaw, Dustpelt, One-Eye, Dappletail
"Revived" Characters: (canon names are italicized)
Longtail was blinded in the battle against BloodClan. This is so I don't have to go in and mess with code moons into the Gen and possibly mess things up/corrupt the entire file. I also didn't want to create a situation where he never goes blind - he is a canonically disabled character and I'm not going to leave it up to a coinflip/rng to honor that.
Sandstorm is deputy of ThunderClan, chosen after Whitestorm's death in the BloodClan Battle. Greystripe never occupies the position.
Snowpaw (Snowkit) is training to be a warrior. He is apprenticed to Sandstorm.
Swiftstride (Swiftpaw) survived the dog attack, sustaining many severe wounds including a lost leg.
Cultural/Canon Changes:
Cats who are disabled can decide on their role in the clan. Longtail remains a warrior after being blinded. Snowpaw eagerly pursues the path of a warrior. Cinderpelt isn't forced to become a medic. Her chronic pain and injury makes warriorhood difficult to pursue, and her time spent recovering in the medic's den with Yellowfang foster a love for healing. Both of these things inform her own choice to be a medic. As a person who has recently had to scale back on or entirely quit major passions of mine because of my own chronic pain, this story line means a lot to me. Sometimes our disabilities do keep us from walking the path in life we want, and that's okay - we can still find happiness and fulfillment just like Cinderpelt.
Queens can become deputies/leaders and leaders/deputies can have kits without being expected to give up their positions.
yeah 😔 not cause I don’t want to explore it but because the game would probably just make him some rando background guy. If I were doing a rewrite I’d have him and scourge would flay him alive for hurting his niece let me tell you
Trinketwater is a prophet. Despite being born far beyond the forest territories, they have an unusual connection to StarClan, and are an uncannily accurate soothsayer. They aren't a warrior in the strictest sense - they don't fight, and are free to travel from territory to territory.
send me three emojis and i'll make a clangen cat based off of them
Cracklebug is a former kittypet turned warrior. Their former name was Blast-Off. They got their scar after taking a tumble from a particularly high twoleg nest. Cracklebug is playful and a great fighter - probably because of all the playfighting they did as a kit.

Scourge has taken residence under Firestar's watchful eye after losing the battle against the forest cats. He's refused to take up an apprentice name, but Firestar won't give him one yet anyway. The forest cats weren't exactly thrilled that he'd be staying, but no one wanted to challenge the fire that saved the clans. Some cats say his collar was stained red with the blood of endless battles... but perhaps a twoleg replaced his kitten collar.
Cinderpelt is the current medic. She's well loved throughout the forest, and her time spent with her beloved mentor Yellowfang has perhaps equipped her the best out of any cat to get Scourge out of his nest.
Sandstorm is the current deputy under Firestar. Her apprentice is Snowpaw. The two make a spunky duo, and Snowpaw is always willing to watch over Squirrelkit and Leafkit in between or during lessons and lectures.
Firestar is the current leader. With his deputy, Sandstorm, and his brother, Scourge at his side, he's confident in forging a new era of peace for all four clans.
