Age: 25 moons
Rank: warrior
Clan: GustClan
Physical Description:
Underneath his short, thin pelt, Shatteredclaw has lean muscles. He is of average height and weight, with long, quick legs used for running across moorland. His tail is perhaps a bit shorter than usual, but this is barely noticeable. His ears are sharp and alert, always listening, giving him a permanently paranoid look.
His dark ginger fur is often unkempt and ragged; he cares very little about his appearance, and will usually only wash it himself when there is a special ceremony going on. His eyes are a deep, pure gold, but for such a warm colour, they seem very icy and as if they are looking through you rather than at you.
Personality:
In general, Shatteredclaw is very cold. Those who were close to him would say he wasn't always this way, but even they grew apart from him and are uncertain as to why he is so distant. In any case, he prefers to keep to himself and therefore dislikes patrols and other social events.
He rarely speaks and displays emotion even less; though he doesn't exactly seem depressed, any cat can tell he's far from content. In reality, he hides emotion as much as he can, afraid someone will see through him. He has a very deep and serious outlook on life, and he scorns those who treat life as a joke.
In many ways, he is afraid of himself. He is easily angered and he knows he is dangerous when he's angry; this is partly why he is so keen to hide his feelings. Though he seems to care little about his Clanmates, he is terrified he will someday hurt them.
History:
When he was still fairly young, Shatteredclaw accidentally killed a kit in a moment of violent anger -- hence his self-loathing and fear he will do something similar again. Afraid he'd be exiled, he pretended a fox had gotten to the kit and that though he tried to fight the fox off, by the time he got the fox away, the kit was already dead. His Clan was, of course, impressed with this "act of heroism" and honored him greatly. Shortly afterwards, however, was when he first started growing apart, and his Clanmates soon let his story fade into the past.
As he grew, the memory of what he did haunted him greatly; he tried and failed to control his anger, and he therefore became more and more frigid. He spent more time on his own, spending hours by himself, wallowing in his own sadness and hatred. He avoided Gatherings whenever he could, and he never volunteered to go on patrols. Eventually, most cats stopped trying to converse with him, and he was able to continue his life in near-silence.
Role Play Example:
from Incandescence
Chloe Fints stared at the message scrawled across the dark bricks of Greenford High. She'd arrived early today, before anyone else, and had therefore seen the message before anyone else.
The words appeared to be made of some kind of mud, but against the brick, it looked like blood. Shivering, Chloe looked around her for about the seventh time. Deserted. Why was no one here yet? Not for the first time that day, Chloe wished she'd brought a watch or a cellphone or anything that might show the time.
She went back to observing. She couldn't even see any fingerprints, though she was certain that there must be some. She wished could shift, but what would she do if someone showed up? Ha ha, she told herself bitterly. Wishful thinking.
The silence was unnerving. Nothing moved, not even the scramble of a squirrel climbing up a tree or the rustle of the wind the leaves.
When she finally decided she could hardly investigate the message any more than she already had, she sat down, alone with her thoughts. And her thoughts rapidly grew more and more panicked -- What if they think it's me who wrote the message? What if they take me to prison? What if whoever wrote the message comes back and kidnaps me? What if--
She froze. Something had moved.
