ONYXFEATHER

He said son, have you seen the world?
Oh what would you say
If I said that you could

FOXCLAN || SECOND IN COMMAND || TOM || THIRTY FIVE MOONS || HETEROSEXUAL

A hero of war, yeah that's what I'll be
And when i come home
they'll be damn proud of me
I'll carry this flag to the grave if i must
Because it's a flag that I love
and a flag that I trust

APPEARANCE

Lanky ebony tom with honey hues.

Onyx; for the dark ebony of his fur.
Feather; dark colouring that mimics the glossy coat of a raven's feathers.

At first glance, the tom is but a shadow. There is nothing outstanding, nor remarkable about the young warrior. In fact, he is just that; a shadow, in part. Onyxfeather is graced with a very simplistic appearance about him. Covering his fur in pure ebony, like the shadow of a raven's feather, is but an ink black slick. Blemishing the tom's dark exterior is a set of liquid amber hues, standing stark against the blackness of his being. All in all, Onyxfeather's colourings are deemed, well, average.

Upon delving a little deeper, one might notice little trademarks that makes Onyxfeather the feline he is today. Unlike most of those carrying Shadowclan blood, the tom is not all muscle and brawn. In fact, the tom is more limbs than anything. He's long and narrow in the body, with slight, straight shoulders and a narrow rib cage. Onyxfeather is lanky in build, perhaps taller than most of his kind and the blood he shares. His face is narrow and angular, accompanied by wiry features and a long tail that kinks near the tip. As earlier stated, Onyxfeather may not be all brawn, however he embraces the pros his body type gives him and spits on the rest. Unlike his broader of companions, the young tom is graced with the speed and agility of weaving his way out of harm's way. Though his narrow, pointed paws may not deliver a lethal blow, fast and furious strikes aim to wear an opposing enemy down. And lastly; lean, wiry muscles allow room to squirm and with any luck, room to escape tragedy.

PERSONALITY

Proud, cunning, overly-analytical, loyal, determined, reserved, calculating, quick-witted, strategic.

There are so many angles to Onyxfeather, like a broken mirror, shattered into a million shards. Each shard indicating a potential action or reaction. The tom is rather unpredictable, in fact, he is anything but easy to predict. Like his blood which pulses through his clan, Foxclan, the warrior is strong and conniving. At first glance, Onyxfeather is calm, reserved. To the outside world, he is but a shadow, still as stone with the eyes of a hawk. The tom is not one for controlling the limbs of every warrior within spitting distance, in fact, he would much rather let them duke out their problems and learn from it. Detached as he seems, Onyxfeather can come across as rather nonchalant, observing. Perhaps this is true, as Onyxfeather believes his clan mates must learn from their mistakes or they won't learn at all; a form of tough love in that sense.

In taking a gander beyond that stern shell, within that ever complex mind of his, one might learn a few things. Below that silent exterior, is the mind of a warrior. Hell, if Onyxfeather were to speak his thoughts as quickly as he thought them, he may have had more enemies than he did allies. For this exact reason, self discipline is a beauty. The ever watching Onyxfeather is always making mental notes, planning and scheming. The tom is not as power hungry as he may come across, but he will do whatever it takes to ensure Foxclan is and always will be thriving. Onyxfeather does not always see the sense in getting in his enemies face, but would rather use strategy to whip them back into their place. The tom can be blunt with his words and happens to be extremely opinionated, but never will he reveal to the world his frustrations, but rather strikes back when the time be appeals to Shadowclan. Though Onyxfeather is not a tom of many words, he is extremely straight forward and strategic in his way of thinking.

Despite the fact Onyxfeather is not your affectionate, 'all paws on deck' sort of warrior, he cares for his clan to the world's end. There is nothing, nothing, nothing that would place itself before the well being of Foxclan. Admittedly, the tom is a little rough around the edges. He tends to be self sacrificial and may even become merciless if his clan really depended on it. This tom is not only pro-Shadowclan, but he lives, breathes, and thinks in the interests of his clan, be it he is in the equation or not.

HISTORY

Onyxfeather was born shortly after Foxclan's exile, having been brought up in a world much harder than the one his ancestors would have been accustomed to. But fact was, this was the only life he'd grow to know. Under Foxspirit's guidance, the clan wasn't driven out of their home - in fact, they were given the opportunity to build anew. And with this belief, Foxclan would grow strong and mighty. It was this very foundation the Onyxfeather was raised on.

At six moons young, the tom would join the ranks of the warriors. With no official ceremony or training under his belt, the young tom took up with under his father, and vigorously shadowed his clan mates when he could. Eventually, Onyxfeather would grow skilled in his trade, learning valuable skills and developing into a clock-work soldier.

See, Foxclan leadership was strange. Whoever happened to be calling the shots, never really stood in the limelight. That was the second's job, to command the warriors below them. Yet somehow, the leaders seemed to have the greatest influence of all. Onyxfeather grew to idolize these beings, and though Foxspirit was not around for a long portion of the tom's life, Onyxfeather embraced the ideals of a strong and healthy Foxclan.

Leaders rose and fell, some falling to tragedy, others being challenged for their title. Onyxfeather never really concerned himself with the politics, so long as the leader was fit enough to bring strength to the clan. After all, it wasn't as if the tom often challenged his surpriors or bucked the system. Individuality was not something that Onyxfeather desired, or even self success. This big picture was always Foxclan.

Admittedly, it was a little surprising when Emberspirit fell from the rank as leader, and a new great feline rose to the throne. While this was not something that was uncommon in the ever shifting ranks, Onyxfeather was not prepared to be appointed as second in command and the potential successor to Foxclan. But the tom would not refuse nonetheless.

EXTRAS

Other: Had Onyxfeather been born into any other clan, he would have struggled with the believe in the CelestialClan. To this day, their beliefs is not something he can understand, much less dares embrace. Also, the tom is not inherently evil, however he has the potential to be incredibly lethal in the name of his clan. Onyxfeather lives and breathes the fox code, and would stop at absolutely nothing to see to it that his clan mates thrive.
