Name: Vulture
Gender: Male

Other: Vulture has an expanded field of view which allows him to see further away and improves his peripheral vision.
Appearance:
Vulture is a short-haired chocolate mink with some white. His base fur colour is light brown. He has a splash of white on his chest that extends around his throat and up as a spike to his forehead. All four of his paws are also white. The chocolate colour is darker around his eyes, ears, and tail. He has clear, sharp blue eyes. His claws are short but thick. His fur is usually ungroomed or intentionally messed, but never matted. There are many insignificant scars on his pelt.
Personality:
While it may not be his most prominent feature, wanting to control others has always been a motivating factor for Vulture, so it's probably good to mention right away. A more innocent trait of his is using simple tools like rocks and the world around him to do everything from reaching a high place to fighting. He finds some use for everything because he believes that nothing, and no-one, should be wasted. This has lead to him being a bit of a hoarder and being very protective over a nest that looks more like a trash pile.
His tool use also shows his intelligence and creativity, but don't expect him to be good with words. Perhaps because he prefers to be a quiet observer and occasional spy, his communication skills are flimsy. He speaks through body language, expressions, and grunts more so than words. As he has matured, he's learned to control his body language, and is finally able to use it for the intimidation he craves. He doesn't actually enjoy the pain of others and will usually only cause it to achieve his goals, so he's still unsure how vicious he could really be. It's likely that Vulture, attacking without thoughts of the outcome, could be deadly. He will fight tooth and claw(though he believes his claws are too short to do much) to keep something he already has. Very few things disgust him.
He was opportunistic at a young age but that trait was stifled by indecisiveness and he now waits patiently for... something. He's not quite sure what it is but is sure that, with his constant surveillance, he'll catch it when it comes. He learned to be independent at a young age, though not quite as young as his peers, who seemed ready to be on their own from birth. Meanwhile he has mild abandonment issues from constantly being ditched by his family members as a young cat. He feels inferior to many of those around him and to other cats he believes were born with something special. This inferiority leads to jealousy and anger that he will take out on anyone even tangentially related if given the chance. What he believes he wants the most is to be scary, so that he will be respected and listened to.

History:
Vulture's father is the rogue Eaglewing, and his mother is the kittypet Mocha. His littermates are Owl, Buzzard, Falcon, Hawk, and Chickadee. When he reluctantly gave up nursing, he started to live with his father in the rogue group full-time, with Mocha occasionally visiting. Vulture wanted to get out and explore the area, but was satisfied with sniffing around the few steps outside of the den and asking his father lots of questions. He was no longer content with hearing about the outside world from others after turning six moons, and looked around further and further from his home every opportunity he got. After choosing to become a hunter for the rogue group at six moons old, he started to venture out near the clans and find out how to feel about them. He learned a bit from watching them. After his father Eaglewing killed Lynx and was banished, Vulture left his den and moved into a small hole in a corner instead. He stayed kitlike until 8 moons old, when he hit a slightly overdue growth spurt. With more weight to throw around, he felt stronger. This forced independence along with a confidence boost did him well for a while, but he seemed to slip in this progress after the rogue group moved away from the alley and into the rotting den. He has been avoiding his brother Buzzard and Buzzard's mate Hornet since she got pregnant.
