Fadedmist - Tom - Warrior

[Brighty]

Name: Fadedmist
Age: 24 moons
Gender: Tom
Clan: ThunderClan
Desired Rank: Warrior
Appearance:

A large body contrasts against Fadedmist's small tail. His paws are proportionately sized, exhibiting small silver claws. His main attraction are his many long whiskers that seem to envelope the face. His ears are slightly large for his head, a small nick in his left ear.

Fadedmist's pelt is a gorgeous black colour. A white chest, left paw, and tail tip add a flare of curiosity to the tom's overall appearance. His eyes are a piercing emerald colour. The fur along his body is slightly rugged, an attribute gained by his unruliness. His tail is quite short, though the reason for its stunted growth is unknown.

Personality:

Fadedmist has a rather simple personality. He either likes you, or he tolerates you.

Fadedmist prefers to be alone. He's always been treated as the runt of his brothers and a side effect to that was his lonesome personality. He has developed a lack of interest in group assignments or gatherings. However, given time one might find that this lonesome tom is not as scary as he seems.

Fadedmist is gentle and cunning. He enjoys a good old sun bathe and swears loyalty to Thunderclan no matter what. Despite his lack of interest in group activities, Fadedmist does make an attempt to at least communicate during patrols or when 'sharing tongues'. He enjoys hanging around kits, adding a sparkle of friendliness to his character.

Towards other clans Fadedmist asks reserved. He could care less about the business going on in other clans. Should he find a rival cat on his territory, he will not hesitate to chase them off. Loyalty to the clan is of his utmost priority. However, he is not mouse-brained enough to go charging into a patrol of enemy warriors. He prefers to play a reserved role and discuss situations with the clan leader before acting in an illogical way.

History:

Squealing for his brothers to leave him alone is as far back as Fadedmist can remember. Just like any other member of the clan, Fadedmist started out as Fadedkit. His brothers Blizzardkit and Skykit outmatched him in both size and strength. Fadedkit would always spend time on his own, afraid that he would get injured if he played with his siblings. Fadedkit always expressed tremendous interest in becoming an apprentice. He made a promise to himself on the night of his apprentice ceremony to uphold the code no matter what.

Upon becoming Fadedpaw, he instantly fell into step with all apprentice duties. He did his best to memorize the land around him, as well as to make friends with fellow clanmates. Despite his attempts at being social, he felt terribly lonesome and unwanted. Fadedpaw eventually began to lag behind in apprentice duties, plagued by the success of his older brothers Blizzardpaw and Skypaw.

Then it happened.

During a nighttime border patrol, Fadedpaw heard a screech off in the distance. He raced to see his two brothers and their mentors fighting off a fox and her cub. In desperation, Fadedpaw leaped into the scramble. The fox clawed his ear, adding the nick in his left lobe. The fox and her cub were defeated, but not without causing casualties to the cats. Skypaw was killed, crushed when the mother fox tumbled over him. Blizzardpaw lay in the Medicine Cat's den for moons before finally letting go of life. Being the only surviving brother of the three, Fadedpaw felt tremendous pressure to live his brothers' memory.

His apprentice training passed quickly, with many stumbles and quirks, but Fadedpaw pursued his goal of becoming a loyal warrior. At last his chance came after a battle with Riverclan over a small border dispute. Fadedpaw was granted his warrior name Fadedmist. Fadedmist sat vigil that night, reminiscing about his brothers and how far he had come since their deaths.

Fadedmist still upholds his promise to be a loyal warrior. He tends to think of things rationally and hopes that some day, perhaps he will lead the clan. For now, he upholds the code in great honour.

RP Sample:

“Ouch! Blizzardkit, get off!”
The nursery was bursting with excitement. Blizzardkit, Skykit and Fadedkit were going to be apprenticed. The three of them were rolling around the nursery, squashing the other two kits, Thistlekit and Ravenkit into the dust. Blueshine entered the nursery.
“Okay kits, enough tumbling around the den! Come on out so I can make you all look your best for the ceremony!”

Instantly, the three kits bounded towards their mother. Blueshine began to groom Blizzardkit, while the other two kits sat silently awaiting their turn. Inside the nursery, Ravenkit and Thistlekit squealed with joy at their littermates. “We’ll be apprentices soon so make sure you guys make both of us some beds!” called Thistlekit.
“Sure thing!” replied Skykit.
“Will all cats old enough to catch their own prey gather here for a clan meeting!” The commanding voice of the Thunderclan leader immediately summoned all the able-bodied warriors to the tree stump. Blizzardkit, Fadedkit, and Skykit raced towards the stump, their paws kicking up dirt. “Watch it kits!”
“Hey, slow down!”
“I just groomed my pelt!”

The three kits smiled sheepishly at the clan. The leader approached the kits. “Thunderclan today we celebrate an end to clan hardships with the introduction of three new apprentices.” He approached Blizzardkit. “From this day forward, until he has earned his warrior name, Blizzardkit will be known as Blizzardpaw.”
“Blizzardpaw! Blizzardpaw!” yelled the clan.
“Stoneclaw you have shown great loyalty and stunning courage. You will mentor Blizzardpaw.” The leader approached the other two kits. “From this day forward, until he has earned his warrior name, Fadedkit will be known as Fadedpaw. Dawnstripe, you are incredibly strong and agile. You will mentor Fadedpaw.” A wave of temptation and relief found itself spreading through Fadedpaw's body. He had gotten the mentor he had always wanted! Now he could be a great warrior!

Finally the leader approached Skypaw. “Until he has earned his warrior name, Skykit will be known as Skypaw! Crookedtail, you have shown compassion and great energy. You will mentor Skypaw.”

“Fadedpaw! Skypaw! Fadedpaw! Skypaw!” the cheering roared through the ears of the apprentices. Slowly, the cats began to return to their duties, leaving the three apprentices to greet their new mentors. Fadedpaw ran towards Dawnstripe. “What are we going to learn today?” Dawnstripe smiled.
“Our borders.”
Fadeddpaw bounced with excitement. “Yes! Finally! Let’s go!” he ran towards the camp entrance, his eyes eager to see the forest.
