Character Name: Rage
Character Age: 15 - 17 moons
Gender: Tom
Sexuality: Gay
Alliance: ?
Appearance: A dark coloured tabby with sleek fur and a well built frame. Rage has white blue eyes that can often been mistaken for blindness. The scars of many battles litter his pelt and he wears them like trophies. Rage has long claws, ivory in colour and one missing on his back right paw. Unlike his sister his frame is not that of a runner, although he does not possess a huge build. He has small black tufts of fur on the tips of his ears, and unique white spots on the backs. He has soft, dust coloured under-belly fur and large cream paws. Long, thin stripes dash across the back of his pelt before wrapping around his tail. Only ceasing when the colour changes to a gentle cream at the tip of this long and graceful appendage.
Personality: Although charismatic at times Rage is ultimately a cruel character. When he was younger he went about planning the death of his sister, Silence. Although unsuccessful, Rage fell into the habit of dealing with his problems through death. He didn’t kill his father although it is presumed as much. Rage looked up to his father and often found comfort in his words. When he died through a dog attack it just furthered Rage’s resolve in the things he was doing. If court in a better mood, Rage is known to be respectful, courteous and sometimes even forgiving. He even has a soft spot for kits.

History: Rage is the oldest in a litter of three; himself, and his younger siblings Silence and Hollow. |Hollow, the youngest, was born blind|. When they were very young their mother abandoned the litter and left the three with their father. After many a moon where Hollow nearly got all of the family killed |accidents due to his kit-ish behaviour paired with the tom’s inability to see| Rage pushed his brother down a gully so that his indirect actions could no longer harm any of them. The death still plagues him as they were quite close. After Hollow’s death Rage became a very bitter and jaded person, often unstably lashing out.
Through his twisted mind, Rage came to the conclusion that Silence was getting in the way of his time with their father. The young kit was desperate for their father’s attention after their mother left and with the death of Hollow there was no one else to talk with. |Silence and Rage never got along|. So the tabby tom tried his best to get rid of his sister. His first attempt was during the family’s quest for new hunting grounds.
#1; Their father was taking them through land being developed and left the pair to go hunting. Rage; now twisted with grief and suffering, told Silence the two of them should play among the building frames and construction vehicles. Being innocent of her brother’s changed nature the younger she-cat agreed. Halfway through a game of tag the tom tried to push his sister under the wheel of a truck that was moving soil to and from the site. This attempt failed as Silence got out of the way in time.
#2; Rage’s second attempt to kill his sister held similar results. The family was travelling through a windswept moor several weeks later and after teaching the two a few basic fighting moves their father left to find food. Seizing the chance Rage attacked his sister. While he managed to scar Silence under the eye and clip her ear the much faster and slimmer she-cat managed to escape into the long grass.
Cursing his rotten luck Rage returned to find his father frantically searching for the pair. The tom proclaimed that Silence had left as she had wished to. |After the first attack Silence had expressed a desire to leave the family|. When his father inquired as to why Rage had small amounts of blood on his pelt the tom stated that he and Silence had practiced their fighting moves for a time before the she-cat told him she was leaving. Rage told his father they should let her go and that she would be fine.
Though he mourned for a time, Rage’s father ultimately decided they would continue alone.
The pair were content for a time and continued to travel. Even though Rage could no longer sleep without awakening from broken and distorted dreams the tom was more-or-less happy to be rid of his sister. The tabby tom grew up fast and confident, often leaving his father to hunt for the pair of them. On one such evening Rage came home from a successful hunting trip, his maw full of rabbit, to find his father’s blood spilling from his pelt. Many scratches littered the older tom’s pelt and the scent of numerous cat’s filled the clearing. The tabby stayed with his father, refusing to eat or sleep until the elder cat passed away.
Driven off the edge by rage and passion; Rage hunted down the group of felines and attempted to exterminate them. His endeavour failed and the twisted tom crawled away to die. Hours away from death the dazed tom was approached by a small silver-gray tabby she-cat. Upon inquiring about his condition Rage spat at her and attempted to claw off the she-cat’s face. Ignoring his poisonous and unstable behaviour the she-cat nursed Rage back to health |unknown to him was the small she-cats ample ability in the practice of medicine|. Over the next few weeks the she-cat introduced herself as Reena. |When Rage later asked Reena where she learned to heal he was politely told that it was none of his business.|
Rage spent the next six or so moons conditioning and training his body in to the well oiled fighting machine it is to this day. The tom earned a name for himself and a reputation as a skilled assassin for hire. Before eventually returning to kill the gang of cats that took his father’s life. Rage still returns to Reena for remedies to his more serious injuries.
