Character Customization

__NOTOC__ 
==Overview==
The character customization feature allows many customization possibilities in Warrior Cats: Ultimate Edition that are virtually unlimited. Character customization in Warrior Cats: Ultimate Edition is a feature used to create a cat avatar and use it to play as afterwards. With hundreds of color, fur, and pattern combinations, a player will never run out of fresh ideas for new creature character. When a player presses the "Play" button on the main menu, the first thing they will see is the character customization screen. 
(note: Although there are many things that are free to use, some customization features are only available through purchasing game-passes)
 
== Usage==
Upon entering Warrior Cats: Ultimate Edition, a player will go through two loading screens. The first thing that shows up once loaded in is the Character Customization screen. When their customization is complete, press finish to enter the game and start playing and choose one of of the six groups, ThunderClan, RiverClan, ShadowClan, WindClan, Rouges and Loners, or Kittypets.

===Colors and tools===
There are many colors to make a cat with, including black, gray, white, brown, etc. Combine colors to make a completely unique cat, or stick to neutral, for a more toned-back and realistic cat. 
==== Simple====
On Simple customization, a player is able to color their cat according to its primary pelt, secondary pelt, markings, secondary markings, eyes, skin, and more. Choose from many colors for a more basic cat using the Simple customization. The player can enable more colors by opening the settings, scrolling all the way down, and pressing the button under " Full palette for easy coloring. " 
====Paintbrush====
If a player is looking to make a more detailed cat, players may utilize the Paintbrush feature. When a player feels limited to their cat's creative potential, a player can use the paintbrush to pick any color, in any shade, on any part of the body. WCUE divides sections of the cat model, so players can put different colors on the tip of the tail, the neck, the second half of the body, one ear, etc. Just click on the area on a cat that is highlighted, and it will change to the color selected. If a player cannot find the color that they are looking for, use the sliding bar on the left of the color palette to change the shade of their selected color. The player can also use the paintbrush to put two different colors for the eyes, if the player has the heterochromia gamepass. The paintbrush is very helpful for when a player is going for creating a detailed cat, and it contains a wide variety of different colors available. 
====Advanced====
Advanced customization is used to help players color their cat according the parts of the body that the tool divides it in. For instance, when a player selects tail, a player can pick colors for segment one of the tail, segment two, and so on. Or if a player wants to color the bottom of the rear left leg a different color from the front right, using the Advanced customization tool, it is possible. Advanced customization is helpful for when the player does not prefer using the Paintbrush tool, but a player still has the desire to create a detailed morph. 
====Color palettes====
There are several color palette choices available to use. This includes, but is not limited to, shades of brown, grey, black, white, red/russet, tan, gray/blue, ginger, and more. Colors that are unable to be used on the body of their cat are used for the eyes, skin, whiskers and chains, accessories, etc. There is a substantial amount of eye colors that can be used without gamepasses, like green, blue, and amber. Extra eye colors can be purchased. Skin colors (ears, nose, paw pads) come in grays and pinks. Accessories come in bright and dull colors, such as blue, pink, purple, green, orange, red, and so on. 
===Misc.===
The Close Eyes button allows a player to toggle whether their morph's eyes are open or closed. This is helpful for coloring the eyelids, or seeing what the cat looks like with its eyes closed. The Reset Cat button will delete the current cat and reset it to the default white and grey with blue eyes. It's an easy way to restart a morph if a player isn't happy with how their current morph looks, and would like to start over again. The Codes button was added in a recent update. It allows a player to enter codes that Warrior Cats: Ultimate Edition adds for limited edition items. Currently, there is one code available (See codes). All of these buttons are found below the size bar.
Trying things on 
The player can now try things on in the editor. If the player is unsure if they want to by a gamepass because they don't know if it'll look good, they can try it on. 
=== Size===
There are five different size options available in the Warrior Cats: Ultimate Edition Character Customization feature. Players may choose from a kit, apprentice, a young warrior, and warrior. The fifth choice of size is large warrior, which is only accessible if the player buys a gamepass first. Use the slider bar at the top of the screen to select their desired size or age.
The kit, being the smallest, is perfect for when a player wants to be a Clan, rogue, or kittypet kit. It can also be used for roleplaying as small non-cats, such as puppies, mice, rabbits, etc. The apprentice, which is second smallest, is used in the Clans as an apprentice. For rogues and kittypets, they are often seen as older kits. The young warrior, which is third smallest, is normally used in the Clans as an older apprentice and new warrior, or smaller full-grown cats. Rogues and kittypets using a warrior are mostly middle-aged, or miniature cats. The warrior, being the biggest (aside from large warrior) speaks for itself in the Clans. In rogues or kittypets, it is used as full-grown cats. Lastly, the large warrior is used for larger cats in the Clans and as rogues. If a player enjoy roleplaying as a non-cat, all of these sizes can be used for a lot of different animals, such as foxes, wolves, dogs, badgers, and others, ranging in different sizes.
=== Accessories and Features===
The cat's features can be added using the Accessories tool. This tool enables a player to give their morph the last polish it needs. The categories for customization under Accessories include Ears, Tail, Fur, Torso, Eyes, Head, etc. Players can add items and accessories to the categories they choose in order to make their cats more fascinating and distinctive. A player can add features to their morph, such as stripes, spots, and other eye-catching marks, by selecting the "Torso" category, for instance. There are many items a player can use without gamepasses, but some ears, marks, and other items are only available through them. One is the Accessories tool. When it comes to character customization overall, the Accessories tool is one of the most crucial because it's where a player may start to see their morph come to life. Collars, flowers, chains, and other items for the ears and neck can all be purchased using gamepasses. To date, every outfit also needs to be purchased.
===Categories===
Categories to choose from include the following:
Ears, Eyes, Tail, Legs, Head, Torso, Scars, Muzzle Types, Ear Accessories, Neck, Fur, and cat size.

===Load and save slots===
The final step in making a morph is saving it. In Character customization, a player is able to switch between "Edit Morph" and "Load/Save." When first starting, the game gives a player 12 save slots. However, this can be upgraded with Extra Save Slots, VIP gamepass, and slot gamepasses. The max amount of save slots can go up to 100. When loaded into the game, a player is automatically put onto "Edit Morph" which allows a player to edit their cat or make new ones. To save or load a morph, go to the top of the screen and switch to "Load/Save." Here, a player can save their current morph, or load a preexisting one. On April 4th, 2022, the developers added four more save slots to the game for people with VIP, and an extra save slot for everyone, due to people protecting their logo on r/place.

===Tips and tricks ===
Here are some tips that are recommended to consider when making a visually appealing morph:
#If a player would like a realistic morph, don't add too many loud colors or patterns. Stick to a neutral color scheme (as well as a colour palette with no more than 4 colours), and markings that go with the cat type that a player is making.
#Make the colors and markings cohesive. Do make the pattern a similar color to that of the body (brown body, light brown stripes; white body, gray spots). Don't make the patterns pop out too much (White body, pure black stripes; gray body, red rosettes).
#Add just enough fur to make the morph interesting, but don't overdo it.
#If a player is making a non-cat morph (e.g. fox), make the morph fairly realistic. Morphs are often higher quality the more effort is put in.
#If a player isn't happy with the way their morph turns out, it is try taking a different approach. A player should see which colors and markings match the style a player is going for. The best way to see what fits their morph the best is trial and error.
