Rookshade of Mistclan

[bits]

Rookshade Male 56 Moons Gay Mistclan Warrior "His destiny was just too big to spend" Genotype (optional) Appearance Rookshade is, as his name suggests, a black feline. To be honest, he looks like most black cats; there is no white on his body, no other colours which could break up the black coat he wears. Despite his nonchalant stance and energy, he tends to keep in shape. He's on the leaner side, but not so much that he's useless in a fight. He's generally very well rounded, and has a sharpness to his appearance that goes hand-in-hand with his personality. Rookshade has very light green eyes and some small scars on his flank. The end of his tail is the slightest bit crooked. Personality Sharp is a good way of summarizing this quick-talking tom. While he isn't the kindest individual, he's witty and clever, easily wielding words with the same confidence as he wields claws and teeth. No strange to rough situations, Rookshade is an adaptable individual with the ability to survive most situations if need be. Unfortunately, there is something to be said for his social life. He can cut quick to the bone and isn't known for being particularly patient with others. No, instead, Rook is a sometimes cruel individual who's tongue seems to know no mercy. He can be mean, difficult to get along with, and stubborn on matters he actually cares about. While he can be a flirt from time to time, he's much more likely to complain and take a passive route as opposed to actively pursuing another being. History As a kitten, Rookshade was very close with his sister and only other littermate, Jaykit. The two of them were loved dearly by their mother Redtail and their father, Grousefall. Unfortunately, Redtail fell ill when the siblings hit their apprentice age, and when Rook was 8 moons old he lost his mother. This was incredibly difficult for their father, who was an older cat by the time his children were born. He struggled daily with the loss of his mate, and Rookpaw often ended up in arguments or fights because of the differences in opinion they had. Grousefall very much wanted grandkits, and felt that Rookpaw should be more interested in mollies, that he should work harder, and so on and so forth. Soon enough, Grousefall was putting his children through extra training without informing their mentors. This nearly constant hard work (and sometimes verbal, emotional, or rarely physical abuse) was too much for the apprentices, and Rookpaw began acting out in protest. This did little to help. Luckily, Rookpaw had a good mentor in the form of Whitefire, an older warrior he still very much respects. Rookpaw became Rookshade alongside his sister, who was given the name Jaybright. His sister flourished as a warrior, leaning on her optimistic tendencies in order to cope with their overbearing father. Rookshade, however, did very much the opposite. He antagonized his father whenever possible, until their arguments escalated to the point of a physical fight when Rookshade was 26 moons old. Neither cat was seriously injured, but Rook still has the scars from the incident. Grousefall left shortly after.  Jaybright, upset at her father's leaving, left to find him when the siblings were 30 moons old. Since then, Rookshade has been without family - he continues to emphasize that he prefers it this way, but it's unclear how much of that is true.
