Description:

[ F u r ]
Shadowstrike's fur is his prize. It is long and silky in texture. When the sun catches it, it doesn't glimmer silver like most black coats would, it glimmers black. He loves his coat, which is alot to say for him because he has issues with many things. His appearance doesn't bother him though. He likes being able to blend into the shadows of the forest.

[ B u i l d ]
Shadowstrike is a fairly scrawny cat. He's got a good amount of muscle, but nothing amazing. He's a on the smaller side of average, but by no means is he a tiny thing. He's good enough sized. With his long fur he looks like he should have a much rounder chest and stomach, by no means does it look like he should be scrawny. But he is anyway.

[ E y e s ]
His eyes. There's a wonder for you. They are a purple color, deep yet light purple. No one knows really how they came about being purple, they all have rumors. He just assumes there were complications during the pregnancy. It doesn't bother him. He is ammused by some of the stories he happens to hear, and always loves the fact that cats are looking at him weird because of his eyes not his past.

[ S t r e n g t h ]
Shadowstrike's greatest strength is hunting. He is an avid hunter and has amazing senses. (Rofl, but no powers don't worry. ^^) His claws though, are long. Barely retracting all the way. They are long and strong, able to do much damage with one swipe. Sure they can do damage during a battle, but he doesn't find joy in battling. He just goes through the moves he knows.

Personality:

[ H a p p y ]
Shadowstrike isn't a very happy cat. At least he doesn't seem to be. When he is showing the fact that he is happy in general or for someone else, his ears will be perked up and his odd eyes will brighten. He shows happiness when any of the cats of the clan have done well with something, but especially when kits turn into apprentices and the apprentices become warriors.

[ S a d ]
This is normally the mood anyone will see him showing. He is a very depressed cat and doesn't try to hide it. A few cats can cheer him up, but only for a short while. He is confortable feeling like this and with his mind set into this emotion it will take much to pull him out of it once and for all. Because he is normally like this he rarely makes friends, and the few he has are cherished.

[ A n g r y ]
Shadowstrike if you can believe it, doesn't get angry. He just assumes that whatever he is doing is wrong if he is being corrected or yelled at. These things don't make him angry, just send him a few milimeters deeper into his sadness. There was once a time when he did show his anger a bit, but these times are gone for good. He hopes they don't ever come back.

[ F r u s t r a t e d ]
This is something that may show occaisionally. Unlike anger, Shadowstrike does get frustrated. He'll normally show it by swiping a paw at a tree or the ground, only when he is sure no one is watching him though. He tries to give off the image of a passive cat, he holds all his emotions inside, but sooner or later he will burst. Not hugely, not yet. He lets things out by swiping at the ground.

[ E x c i t e d ]
Shadowstrike gets overly excited when a new warrior is named. He misses when he used to do this. He loves to make sure they know what they are doing. He is a fatherly figure to them, as well as new apprentices. Especially new apprentices. Though he tries to stay back from them for they have mentors. But because of his personality towards these things, he makes a wonderful mentor.

[ F r i g h t e n e d ]
Shadowstrike is very timid at other times. He is careful to know a new cat from things he'd learned from Auburnstar or other reliable RavenClanners. He wonders what would happen if someone from his past showed up in the clan, someone who never believed him and never would. Only a select few did actually believe him.

History:

[ N e w - B o r n ]
As a kit Shadowstrike had eyes like no other. Normally kitten's eyes are blue. His were more indigo, leaning on the purple side of blue. His parents were curious and when asked the medicine cat said it was a blessing. He had only a brother who looked sort of like himself. Only, his eye were a normal blue, until they turned to their permenant shade, green. His brother was a black color, but his fur was short and he had tabby like markings. They got along well, rough-housing like all good brothers should.

[ 6 - M o o n s ]
At 6 moons Shadowstrike was made an apprentice. His mentor, Grayfur, instilled him with a lasting impression on clan life. He taught him everything he knows to this day, and how to believe in StarClan even when it feels they are against you. Because of this mentor Shadowstrike excelled through his training, becoming a loyal warrior of his clan.

[ 1 0 - M o o n s ]
Shadowstrike became a warrior 2 moons earlier than most do. Much of this was due to the excellent training he got from his mentor Grayfur. His name was Shadowstep. Many of the apprentices were jealous, complaining that they were ready to be made a warrior as well. Especially the apprentices who were a moon older than his-self.

[ 2 2 - M o o n s ]
Shadowstrike became deputy only a full season after becoming a warrior. He knew the ropes, he was extremely loyal to his clan. Their former deputy had been his mentor, Grayfur. Grayfur had become leader on account that their long-time leader, Waterstar, had lost her last life to a two-leg monster. She had grown old anyway, it had been her time to join StarClan. Grayfur had chosen Shadowstrike because he knew his former apprentice was very loyal not only to his clan, but StarClan as well. He was a good choice.

[ 3 6 - M o o n s ]
Shadowstrike became leader of his clan shortly over a season later. It had been a hard season. Leaf-Bare had brought sickness and famine, new-leaf, green-leaf, and leaf-fall all brought battles, horrible battles. It was no suprise that Graystar lost all his lives in such a short time. Shadowstrike became leader during leaf-fall and lead his clan well for half a season. During this time he lost one life to sickness, and another to battle. He still had 7 lives left.

[ 4 2 - M o o n s ]
After having lead the clan for half a season now Shadowstrike had grown accustomed to the position. He was confident that he could be a great leader for his clan. Just as he started to feel like this it was ripped away from him. The Medicine Cat, Deputy, 2 Warriors, and an Apprentice were all murdered. All the signs pointed to Shadowstrike. No one could believe it, but those were the facts and most chose to believe. In truth rogues were the ones who wanted to tear the clan apart and they were responsible for the 5 murders, but no one would believe Shadowstrike even when he found evidence. He was exiled and forevermore blamed for the 5 deaths. During this time, he lost 1 more life.

[ 4 4 - M o o n s ]
Shadowstrike had wandered trying to find a safe place to stay within the forests of the clans he was used to, but no one wanted him. Not even the rogues. He wouldn't go to them anyway, he knew they had killed the 5 cats. He had wandered to new lands and found a forest where three clans were set up and for a month since he found them he has been renamed as Shadowstrike, and no one knows why he is there, or that he still has 6 lives left from his previous leadership. He'd like to keep it that way, but a growing friendship with the leader may lead him to reveal his past.

Role Playing Example:

A dark figure made his way through the brush. His lean black bodess blending well with the shadows. He was on a hunt. He eyes scoped the area and his keen ears twisted about trying to find prey. He finally opened his mouth to smell and caught a strong scent of bird. Perfect, he loved catching birds. It wasn't really something his clan ate much, but they were fun to catch. He croutched ready to pounce. Soon enough he did.

Shadowstrike struggled a bit, but once his claws sank deep into that bird, they weren't coming out. He bit the bird's neck and they both fell the short distance to the ground. Shadowstrike was prepared and landed with grace letting the bird drop by itself. Shadking his fur out he looked at his catch, satisfied. He'd bring this to camp before setting out to catch more prey.

Other:

The growing friendship, I was wondering if the two could become close...not mates...just good friends...

^^ It's a cool history, and I probably wouldn't let it get by if I didn't know you, but I do, so I guess it's OK =]
Accepted.

[-W.h.i.t.e- [S.h.a.d.o.w]]

I'd like to claim Shadowstrike as well, perhaps making him deputy as it seemed that could be where things were headed...if that's alright.
