Scorchmane

[Meow]

Name: Scorchmane

Gender: Male

Age: 24 Moons

Clan: MothClan

Rank: Warrior

Sexuality: Straight

Appearance: Scorchmane takes after his mother in his appearance. He's a wonderfully fluffy young tom with a black head, legs, and tail, while the rest of his fur, including his majestic mane, is silvery-gray in color. His eyes are bright yellow. The fur around his neck and chest is long and mane-like, almost threatening to consume the tom's head with its fluff.

Personality: Scorchmane is an incredibly kind and driven young tom, with a persistence unmatched by anyone else. He doesn't know when to stop- no matter the situation, no matter the odds stacked up against him, Scorchmane will always try his hardest to succeed in whatever he's doing. Because of this, he can find hope in any situation, a quality that has served him well in his lifetime. Scorchmane is also very trusting of his clan mates... to a fault. His kindness drives him to want to see the good in everyone and their intentions. His trusting nature helps him connect more easily with those around him, and has earned him the friendship of many a cat, though it also makes him vulnerable to cats who seek to take advantage of him.

Strengths:
Persistent, Kind, Optimistic, Honest

Weaknesses:
Oblivious, Obsessive, Pacifist, Theatrical

History: Scorchmane was born to Owlstar and Rainfur. His siblings are Cindersight, Starling, Pebblenose, and Smokystep. He spent his kithood being raised by his kitsitters Barkfur and Rivershine. When he wasn't with them, he was with his father, Rainfur, who loved telling his son various stories about the past "true men" of the forest, filling Scorchmane's head with ridiculous feats of heroism and antiquated ideas about what a "true man" really is. He carried these ideals to his apprenticeship, along with a strange, poetic, and incredibly difficult to understand way of speaking that quickly caused him to become an outcast among his peers. Scorchmane eventually lost his sense of belonging in IvyClan, and, when his sister, Starlingpaw, decided to set out on her own as a loner, Scorchmane decided that he, too, should set out on his own to find a place where he could prove himself and become less of an outcast.

After a fated meeting with a kind MothClan warrior, Fattail, who helped talk him through his problems, Scorchmane settled on making a new home in MothClan. He then encountered Brackenfall, MothClan's deputy, and requested membership to the clan, which was granted by Mothstar. Unfortunately, his and Starling's departure from IvyClan enraged their mother, Owlstar, who angrily claimed that neither Scorchmane nor Starling would ever step paw in IvyClan territory again, causing Scorchmane to be permanently cast out of IvyClan and sealing his fate as a member of MothClan. Scorchmane was then sentenced to an extended apprenticeship by MothClan's leader, Mothstar, who assigned Bleakbelly as his mentor.  Scorchmane worked tirelessly to prove his loyalty and worth to MothClan, completing insane amounts of work under the orders of Bleakbelly, and tending to the every need of the elders, as directed by Mothstar. Despite the disdain many in MothClan held towards the young tom for being the son of Owlstar, Scorchmane refused to give up on becoming a great warrior of MothClan. 

After many moons of back-breaking work and little leniency, Scorchmane earned the trust and respect of his clan mates, proving his dedication and persistence to those around him. Mothstar called an end to his punishment, and Scorchmane was given his warrior name. It was there, by the High Rock, with the cries of his clan mates calling his warrior name, that Scorchmane realized that he truly was exactly where he belonged, a moment he will never forget.

Currently, Scorchmane is a dedicated and hardworking warrior of MothClan, proud to have finally found a place he can call home.
