Why do you shun me for who I am?
FOR I AM Seaweed of the great AspenClan
Age 43 moons Gender Tom Rank Warrior
How can I hide in the shadows of the unknown?
WHEN MY PELT IS white and brown and my eyes are blue
Scars
A series of small scars run from his neck to the base of his tail, although they’re covered by his fur. A rather large one is slightly visible, as it extends up onto his chin just below his lips-it reaches all the way to his neck underneath his head. Appearance
Seaweed has a rather muscular build for his type of cat, being of Siamese descent. Although he’s still quite lean looking, muscle is piled onto his frame. His fur is short and doesn’t look, nor feel, all that soft although it isn’t quite rough. His face and ears are masked with a dark brown, out of which stare eyes blue enough to mimic the sky. His legs and the end of his tail are the same dark brown, tough they fade to a lighter shade before fading into white-meanwhile his head merely transforms to white in a sharp, obvious line. His legs are rather long and lanky in comparison to the rest of him, which helps him when he runs although he isn’t the fastest cat in his Clan. At the end of those long legs are nearly comically large paws, which somehow manage to give him great balance, the one thing he absolutely excels in.
Why do you judge me for what I’ll become? JUST BECAUSE I’M chatty AND loyal
Personality
Seaweed loves to converse with others and he isn’t even particularly picky about what Clan they are from. If they’re friendly and don’t mind chatting, he’ll happily carry on a conversation for as long as possible, often talking about things he’s already talked about or have no meaning at all. As a result he’s sometimes thought to be a bit soft in the head, but in truth he simply forgets things. All the time. He has a horrible memory, often forgetting something that happened only minutes earlier. He can normally remember important things, especially if he reminds himself constantly about them, but names or events or topics easily fly in one ear and out the other. His kind and friendly personality tend to let others forget about that, however, even if he tends to forget to do things that somebody told him to do-like that time when he was supposed to bring some fresh-kill to one of the elders who had hurt their leg and couldn’t walk over to the fresh-kill without being in pain and he forgot because somebody had said hello to him and he’d gotten drawn into conversation. In fact, Seaweed seems to have never grown out of his kit phase, as he enjoys chasing butterflies and romping with kittens of the Clan over nearly anything. Not that he really is a kit in his mind, he just acts far younger than he actually his. He really wants a kittens of his own, although at the same time he’s terrified of it. Not because it requires commitment-he appreciates she-cats as much as the next tom, although he hasn’t really found one yet that he’d be willing to settle down with-but because he’s actually terrified of being a bad father. A silly enough fear, but there it is. He’s extremely loyal and can’t even comprehend the actions or thoughts that would lead a cat to betraying anything or anyone.[/blockquote
Preferences Seaweed loves chasing things, playing with kittens and talking. He doesn’t so much like fighting, silence or the cold though. His also loves to chew on seaweed, an odd trait that lead to his name. Secret Ambitions He really wants to be a great father. Not all that imaginative, but there it is. Strengths/Weaknesses Seaweed is amazingly balanced and it’s hard to knock him off of his feet. He rarely loses his perch, no matter what it is, and is actually quite skilled at hunting in the branches of trees. He’s not very good at fighting however, having a general dislike for it, and the fact that he forgets things so often is definitely a problem.
How am I punished for what my kin has done?
EVEN IF MY PARENTS ARE Blackear AND Dovefeather
Family Blackear-father Dovefeather-mother Both deceased Siblings-he has three brothers and four sisters. Redwood, Squirreltooth, Skywing, Rowanfur, Icepelt, Robinwing and Tinyclaw. Event that Lead to being a Warrior Training Complete! History
Born a week before Dovefeather, Blackear became an apprentice four days after her. Yet they both somehow managed to become warriors on the same day and seven moons later Dovefeather gave birth to their first litter of kittens, two boys and two girls. They named them Seakit, Redkit, Icekit and Rowankit. Seakit, as he is the star of this tale, is the one we’ll focus on.
Seakit got his name because his eyes reminded his mother of the sea. Of course, he was pretty much a splitting image of his father (so was Icekit) so it wasn’t too surprising. They had waited to name their kittens until they had had open eyes for a full week, in order to make sure they had the right name for their kittens.
Seakit grew to be a friendly kit who loved to chat and play with his littermates and any other kit or cat that he crossed paths with. It was shortly before he was made into an apprentice that two things happened. One, the rest of the cats of the Clan started to realize how horrid his memory was, and two he had the first and so far only great fall of his life. He’d been playing in the higher branches of a tree-something that wasn’t wise and was probably against the rules, but he hadn’t thought about consequences-when he lost his footing and fell. On the way down a branch managed to rip the flesh from his chin all the way to his neck. Luckily he hadn’t been alone and his sister, Rowankit, had run to get help. He was treated, admonished, and absolutely reveled in his sudden infamy for doing such a reckless thing (at least the other kits were amazed by it, anyways).
Soon the four became apprentices though, and Seakit grew to be Seapaw. His apprenticeship was a hard time for him, mostly because of his horrible memory. Redpaw, Icepaw and Rowanpaw tried to help him but the fact remained that they became full warriors a full two moons before he did. It couldn’t be denied that he had mastered everything he needed to, even memorizing the Warrior Code (something that had taken so long some had begun to believe he never would be able to) and he remembers it to the current day. With some prodding, anyways.
He received his name for two reasons. One being the fact that during his apprenticeship he had literally grown as fast as a weed-faster than any of his littermates and a general consensus had been reached that he had finally reached his adult size a moon before becoming a warrior. The second one being that he seemed to find the taste of seaweed as good as fresh-kill, oddly enough. He didn’t manage to get his paws on it very often, but occasionally a seabird would drop some as they flew overhead and he’d stumble across it.
He was rather proud of the name, even if it seemed a bit strange to others. He started to get settled into a routine and it quickly became very obvious that you couldn’t just change his routine up because he would forget you had. Thus he got assigned to the dawn hunting patrol and it didn’t get changed around after that, since even if you tried to he normally forgot and ended up going at dawn anyways. His tendency to chase anything that moved and caught his attention meant that he spent most of the day hunting anyways, since he thought it was far more fun than laying around the camp. Unless the kits wanted to play, in which case he was perfectly happy staying at the camp and mock-wrestling with them.
Yea, not much has happened since he became a warrior. Minus the whole Gathering event, of course. He’s kind of forgotten about that though, since it’s kind of taboo to talk about it. At least, he’s never had a conversation about it since it happened, so he kind of thinks it was a strange dream. [/blockquote Sample RP not 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
