names:
gender: Tom
age: 27 moons
clan: Windclan
rank: Deputy
personality: His personality is most easily described as loyal and kind. He holds family, clan, and friends in the highest of values though he has his darker side, he's not all perfect. His ambitions drive him on to perfection and he desires most to bring pride to his clan. He'll do whatever needs done to protect and honor his clan's honor and integrity. His heart seeks for one position. He seeks to be leader, he feels he can lead his clan better than any others and desires to prove this in many ways. He struggles with this inner battle daily. His ambitions drive him while his sense of honor and integrity attempt to keep the darker desires of those ambitions at bay. He isn't very much of an extrovert, kind of keeps to himself, but you will always know where he stands. He isn't afraid to stand up to wrongs, and will let speak his mind when the time is appropriate. He may not say much, but usually when he does others listen.
appearance: The first thing you see is his green eyes, piercing and almost hypnotizing. Following this you may notice the tabby 'M' marking his forehead. Next you may notice the rich color of his dark ginger fur flowing over his strong lithe body. You may also notice the short length and high thickness of his fur. What you may not notice is the muscles rippling underneath this fur, stretching over strong bones. You may not notice, at first, the scar on his right hip from a badger fight defending his clan. You will not notice the cunning mind behind those green eyes taking you in, calculating and creating a judgment of your entire character in mere seconds. His claws, though strong and sharpened by continued scratching, are shorter than your average cat. His tail is short but balances with his shorter than average legs. This takes away from his speed and agility, but he makes up for in strength and cunning.
history: Russetclaw has a pretty uneventful life up to this point. He had two Windclan parents, who were both born to Windclan parents. He was the only kit from his litter and was born late in his parents life. He had a fairly uneventful kit hood, being the only son of two well respected senior warriors will do that for you. He was always quiet and tended to keep to himself, watching others and becoming a third party mediator when other kits got into fights. During his apprenticeship he did much of the same. He strove hard to be the best in his clan. He wasn't the best hunter but he was a strong and courageous fighter. His ambitions for leadership always pushing him to do better. As he neared his warrior ceremony, the camp was disturbed by a badger that had taken up residence nearby. He was chosen along with several warriors and other apprentices to drive the badger away. They attacked and succeeded save only two major injuries. Russetpaw's his had been badly scratched by the badger, and his father had lost eye. Upon his healing he was given his warrior name, and his parents retired to the Elders den.
sample rp: His body shook with excitement and anxiety as the patrol prepared to leave. He was honored to be chosen along side his father, mentor, and several other senior warriors and apprentices. His green eyes flashed as he went over the battle moves he knew worked well on badgers. He slashed out a paw using that momentum to throw him to the ground and roll out of an imagined Badger paw. He looked up as the call sounded from the patrol leader for the group to leave. Someone called from the clan "Go make some crowfood out of that badger!" before Russetpaw disappeared into the tunnel and raced behind his clanmates toward the badgers den. As they came close the scent over powered him, and he could smell little to nothing else. He saw the den, and noticed several prints nearby it. The order came for the patrol to fan out and search. They needed to know if the badger was home or out on a stroll. Russetpaw flicked his tail and moved toward the den. The scent here was fresh but there was a slightly milky tang to it. He lifted his tail and called softly to his mentor. "Willowwind..." before he could finish the sentence a growl erupted from the bushed on the other side of the clearing. He spun and saw the black and white creature racing toward him. Fear erupted in his chest for only a moment before his training took over. he rolled to the right leaping as his paws hit the ground again and slashed at the badgers side as it lumbered past him. Unfortunately he had forgotten that badger fur was tougher than cats. His claws stuck in the fur and he was thrown off balance landing with a thud on the ground.
By this time his clanmates had arrived and the fight ensued. There was blood and squeals of pain from both sides, but Russetpaw fought hard. Once the badger's claws found his hip and tore through flesh almost to the bone. He let out a wild caterwaul of pain and launched himself at the beasts eyes. It threw him off with a shake of his head but the damage had been done. Quickly the Badger surrendered and raced away into the forest. As Russetpaw stood panting and shaky on three legs his father walked over to him slowly. There was a large gash down his face, from above his right eye down almost to his neck in a half moon shape. The eye was swollen shut but there was a smile alighted on his father's face and the other eye shone with pride. "Well done Russetpaw, well done my son." Russetpaw looked up into the shinning face of his father and smiled. "Thanks Rippleclaw." Together the pair, ushered by the rest of the patrol, walked or limped back to the camp, triumphant and exhausted.
