Character Name: Blackspark
Gender: Tom
Age: 16 moons
Clan: ThunderClan
Rank: Warrior

Appearance:
Blackspark is a well muscled blue-silver tabby with dark markings. He's a bit short for his age, but he has a really well toned build. His eyes are a bright green-blue. There's a long white patch on his right shoulder. His tail and ears are dark tipped, as is his nose and paws. He's lean as well, hardly any fat on him at all.

Personality:
At first meeting him, Blackspark comes off as rather arrogant, loud, immature, and narcissistic. Although he fights as a Warrior, he prefers to forget the 'stealth' part by often shoulting and making his presence known, the reason being that he is a massive attention-seeker. He cannot stand having someone else get more attention than himself, and will proceed to beat down anyone more popular than him so he can be popular again. His loudness is often shown in his tendency to shout when he speaks, and laughs in the face of danger, literally.

His arrogance stems from the fact that he seems to have a superiority complex; his delusion of his greatness is far beyond what he succeeds. His arrogance shows to start a development into a constant hunger for power that may lead some to think he could betray them one day despite his undying loyalties to his friends. It also hinders him as he is short-tempered and uncooperative when it comes to team battles, as he always tries to take the lead and accuses others around him for being so sloppy instead of admitting that he is the one getting frustrated. His confidence stems from him being used to winning all the time since a young apprentice, so consequently losing prominent battles causes a great negative change in him to the point he loses his ability to fight.

According to older warriors and his own mentor, Blackspark is terribly self-absorbed. He constantly says that one day he will be the one to surpass even Starclan. Because of this, he shows tacit jealousy towards those who constantly do better than him. When referring to himself he shows he holds himself with high regard. He constantly says that he's 'Great' and 'Big' and other people around him are 'young' and 'small' even though he's one of the younger warriors himself.

He does not allow himself to take any insults on his abilities, such as when he disregards older warriors when they tell him he's still young and has room to grow. He can be unobservant, and has a short attention-span, as he has forgotten battle plans before. He is incredibly tactless, and can sometimes be disrespectful, even insulting his friends and superiors. He hates being told what to do and thus mostly disobeys some of the clan rules, skipping on clan training sessions or arrives late to patrols because he's picking fights. He likes fighting as he sees it as a chance of proving everyone that he is the best. He often has an informal way of speech and behavior, even towards the high powers. He loves playing jokes and scaring cats for the fun of it. He is also a big glutton, having a massive appetite.

His methods of going about solving anything are generally headstrong and dependent on physical strength. From time to time, he will abandon his friends if they tell him to hold back or run away, which ends him up in a worse situation. This might come from people mostly seeing him as a member of BloodClan and judging him for their actions rather than his own. However, he does not hold grudges against ThunderClan despite killing his parents, saying that his father and mother paid for their crimes; which shows a surprisingly mature side to Blackspark's personality. He does not like to dwell on the past, and is therefore, quick to forgive others. He tries to forget his heritage, but deep down he is insecure about it.

Despite his rather large ego, there are more positive sides to his personality. Although it is hard to tell, he does genuinely care for his friends. He always arrives to his friends' aid if they are in danger, seeing himself as a protector of the cats whom he classes as weaker than himself. During team battles he veiws the safety of his friends as a priority. However, he will also take their wishes into account and step back to let them fight alone if they want to. He has a determination that knows no bounds. He constantly trains to become stronger, and is dedicated on his goals, putting all of his effort in everything he does - which has it's downsides, especially when he develops tunnel-vision on pursuing something that is wrong, being too stubborn to see the wrongness of his aims. He prefers to go his own way, which sometimes involves going against orders. Despite his determination, he always fails at tests of intellect regardless of the effort he spends trying. He never forgives those who hurt his friends, setting off immediately to get revenge in order to defend or restore respect. This combined with his recklessness and single-minded focus tends to result in him charging into dangerous situations.

Blackspark has a positive and upbeat temperament, despite his short-tempered and cheeky side, often laughing and smiling even in the worsts situations. His cheerful demeanor can support others when they are down. At times, Blackspark seems to be aware of this and outwardly hides any negative emotions. He is also very honorable, not wanting to take any credit that he does not deserve. Blackspark would never want to stand out for doing something bad. He detests the idea of betrayal or deception, up until the point he is angered. He also keeps on plowing forward through adversity, whilst others may decide to run away, showing his bravery, although his bravery may sometimes border on recklessness.

Although many ignore him because of his annoying attitude and pride, people who are close to Blackspark see him as a good reliable friend, albeit a little annoying at times. However, he is still quite well-known because of his talent and strength, he frequently pick fights with other clanmates, even older warriors than him, howevr he rarely loses. He starts gaining the respect of the clan, although his immaturity causes him to be treated as an apprentice at times.

History:

Blackspark comes from a long line of assassins in BloodClan. They victimized cats from many clans, killing many innocent cats which made them infamous in various places. Due to their actions, the assassins in that group were exterminated during a ThunderClan war. Blackspark, who was just a kit who was yet weaned from his mother, was taken in where he was raised by two adopted parents. He showed skill and talent in his abilities at a very young age, but was still ostracized by many, blaming him for everything that BloodClan had done in the past.

He's known Dawnfeather and Frozenfang from kithood, though they haven't spoken much since their apprenticing years. The two show no malice over his heritage. Blackspark bears no malice over the loss of his family, no feels any connection to BloodClan now, he understands the wretched life they live and knows they pay the price for it.
