Character Name:
Galesting
Character Age:
24 moons
Gender:
Tom
Alliance:
SnowClan
Rank:
Warrior
Appearance:
Neither strikingly attractive, nor completely repulsive to look at. Galesting is a lithely built tom-cat, with long legs that carry him swiftly over even ground. His ears are slightly small, and are rounded at their points; with noticeable snips in the left one. His long tail is also visibly kinked near the base, leaving him quite unbalanced when climbing trees or swimming. The young tom's pelt is fairly shaggy in appearance, and slightly matted in some parts; showing off his impatience with trivial things such as grooming.There are also scars riddling through the coarse fur, marking the many battles he has fought for SnowClan. His pelt is generally very light, being a pallid grey in it's color with lighter grey stripes weaving down his back and tail. There are markings of dark grey just under his eyes, and on the tip of his maw; as well as the bands of grey around his hind hocks. His orbs are a dappled silver hue, with gentle rings of brown around the iris, which give him an overall icy appearance.
Personality:
Galesting is a calm and relaxed tom, by his own nature. He often tends to be more social rather than hostile, and though he can sometimes seem slightly impatient, he has a gentle heart. The young tom to acts based on his emotions instead of meaningless reason, and manages to throw himself into difficult situations because of that. His thoughts and opinions are solid and will rarely change to suit others; making it clear that he isn't one to take advice from someone he considers too 'logic based.' When about the clan, he appears to be friendly and laid-back, though some may comment he is slightly too laid back. He is aiming to become a sensible and reasonable mentor, who pushes their apprentice the their limits. So far he has became responsible, but by no means sensible. He dislikes looking back into the past, as he finds it idle and distracting, so instead he has a fierce passion for looking towards the future. The lithe tom relies on his speed to help him in any fights he may get reeled into, and that along with his surprisingly swift thinking usually aids him greatly. He may not be the most intelligent or strongest of toms you'd meet, but his inventive and creative techniques usually allow him to fight just as well as one.
---Likes: He enjoys the rain, talking with other cats, watching kit's reactions when they first see snow, watching snow in general.
--- Dislikes: He doesn't particularly like arguing, looking into the past, hot days and people who disregard their own feelings.
---Strengths: He's skillfully swift, creative and good at reasoning his opinions.
---Weaknesses: He isn't very intelligent, nor is he remarkably strong, balanced or patient.
History:
Galesting was but a young kit when his father, Fager, lead a small group of grown cats and two kits, in the southern parts of the forest; Whisper his strong-willed mother, Chasten his brown-pelted uncle, Jester his silver cousin and Sting his petite brother. Sadly when Fager and Chasten were out scavenging for food, a ragged looking rouge stumbled into their territory. When the cat told them to clear off, Galesting's cousin -being the coward he was- scattered; leaving Whisper to confront the cat by herself. She wasn't at all a violent queen, and instead of fighting, she attempted to reason with the other cat, saying that the land belonged to her and her mate; a mistake. The starving tom killed her in his hungered frenzy, prepared to do the same to both of the kits if they didn't move. Naturally Galesting -just Gale at the time- bolted away, scared out of his wits by what he had witnessed. He left his brother with the Rouge... just left him. He still regrets doing that now, but it is too late to turn back time. The kit didn't stop running, not until he had collapsed in feeble a heap on the forest floor; petrified and alone. That was where a SnowClan patrol found him, and took him in. They saved his life, and though he wonders whether his brother is still alive out there, he has remained loyal to his adoptive Clan thought his life.
Roleplay Sample:
(In his apprentice days)
The young tom slowly blinked his large, ice-colored eyes; drowsiness ebbing from each of his features as he examined the rough pad of his paw. He had never been one for early rises, and so a sleepless night hadn't helped much at all. Not that he was going to complain or anything... he didn't want to come across as a moaner. With a stifled sigh, he tentatively lifted his paw to his mouth, and gave it a half-hearted lick, before drawing it over his slightly-rounded ear; his listless gaze peering out of the Apprentice's den. After a moment, Galepaw blew a loud puff of air through his maw; clearly contemplating whether or not to actually move. Then with a lazy and almost irritated flick of his tail, he lifted himself unevenly to his paws and padded towards the fresh kill pile; his lower jaw dropping into an inaudible yawn as he did so. He gave his head a brief shake, as if clearing the sleep away, and then let his lips curl up into a listless smile. SnowClan... his home. Yeah, that had a nice ring to it. As he neared the fresh-kill pile, he soon noticed that there was barely any prey left for the choosing. Not only that, but the prey left had a slightly bitter stale smell; hardly appetizing. Presides, there wasn't any point in him eating when he wasn't hungry... especially not when other cats could probably use a meal as well. He noticed his newly appointed mentor, Cuttlesplash, near the pile and gave her a small nod in greeting; a toothy grin appearing on his maw. "Morning, Cuttlesplash!" The grey tom called over to the she-cat, his pale whiskers twitching lightly. He cast a brisk glance across the clan's camp, and then returned his gaze to her, his expresion slightly questioning. "There's hardly any kill left," He noted quietly, "dose that mean you're going to take me hunting training?" He grinned warmly at Cuttleplash, his kinked tail curling lightly as he spoke.
