[atrb=width,600,true][atrb=cellPadding,0,true][atrb=cellSpacing,0,true][bg=200815] Why do you shun me for who I am? FOR I AM Owlpaw of the great AshClan Age 6 moons GenderMale Rank Apprentice How can I hide in the shadows of the unknown? WHEN MY PELT IS dark brown and my eyes are amber ScarsNone Appearance Owlpaw is a small tom. He has a slim body, long tail, narrow head, and small paws. His fur is short and very dark brown, nearly black. There are almost imperceptible black stripes starting on his neck and continuing down along the length of his back and tail, almost encircling his body. Owlpaw’s eyes are amber, and very large. Even once you’ve gotten used to them, they can be quite unnerving if he looks at you for a long time. These eyes are how he received his name; his mother thought they resembled an owl’s eyes, and so gave him the same name as the bird of prey. Owlpaw’s legs are short, but very strong. This allows him to stay close to the ground without being awkward, while still being able to run and jump fairly well. Why do you judge me for what I’ll become? JUST BECAUSE I’M thoughtful AND introverted Personality Owlpaw very rarely shows emotion. He attempts to be very professional in his interactions with others, and retains a tight handle on his expressions and words. However, all the emotions that he doesn’t share with the world can be very painful to him, and sometimes he disappears into the woods for a time to let it out where no one can see him. Owlpaw also tends to stay away from other cats. He feels awkward around most others, and avoids them when possible. When it isn’t possible, he keeps to himself and lets them decide what to do. He keeps his opinions to himself unless asked for them, or if he thinks it’s important to let whoever he’s talking to see his views on the matter at hand. He will follow any order he’s given to the letter, but if he thinks the order is wrong, he will do his best to get the order-giver to change their mind. If it fails, he will do what they tell him to and simply change his opinion of that cat. While Owlpaw doesn’t enjoy hunting or fighting, he realizes the necessity of both and strives to excel in them. He knows the warrior code by heart simply because he was told to memorize it, and follows it for the same reason. He is a perfectionist and is unhappy if he fails in anything.

EVEN IF MY PARENTS ARE Nightclaw AND Skyfur. Family Mother; Skyfur Father; Nightclaw Event that Lead to being a Warrior N/A (not yet a warrior) History Owlpaw was born with one brother, Goldkit. Goldkit was much bigger than him, and took every opportunity to terrorize his younger brother. Because of this, Owlkit was hotheaded and easily angered, fighting with his brother and the other kits in the nursery. One day, Goldkit organize a bunch of kits to go explore the territory. Owlkit tagged along mostly to annoy his brother. While outside, the kits ran into fox tracks, but didn’t realize what they were. Goldkit started boasting about how he could kill whatever had made the tracks. Owlkit got angry with his brother and started arguing. Goldkit became enraged and attacked Owlkit, who fought back and managed to wound his older brother. The scent of blood drew the fox to the scene, where it quickly picked off Goldkit. Owlkit ran away, terrified. He hid in a hollow log where he thought the fox wouldn’t be able to find him. When he couldn’t hear it anymore, he went home and told his mother how they were attacked and Goldkit was killed. His mother went into mourning and withdrew from the rest of the clan, believing Owlkit to be responsible but not wanting to tell him that. She eventually ran into the woods, evidently intending to track down the fox that killed her favorite son. She never came back, and Owlkit was horrified. He withdrew into himself, keeping a tight rein on his emotions and vowing never to have an outburst like that again. To this day, he never allows himself to show anger, and stays away from other cats, not trusting himself near them. Even after he was apprenticed, he wasn’t open with anyone, not even his mentor. Sample RP (only if you’re new) You call me by the name I’ve lied I meet in secret with those who’ve died Though life is not’ but treachery This life is all the life in me
