I've stumbled across a new RPing site, so...Here's a new intro.Posted at: 4:06 PM Warriors Name: Earthstone Rank: (Warrior) Clan: FallsClan Gender: Tom Age: 22 moons Pelt: Earthstone, has, as many would usually predict, a fur the shade of the grouund he walks on. However, it fades to light beige at his neck, then returns to a dark brown at his facial features, with a slight 'M' shape on his forehead. With a heavy body and a chunky build, one would think that Earthstone would need fairly big fore and hind legs to support his weight. Surprisingly, he has elegant paws that could easily pad along the ground without making a sound, whatever territory he is in. Combined with a long, graceful, tapered tail, the best way to describe this tom's build is elegant, but not fragile. Eyes: Earthstone's eyes are a piercing bright yellow, which stare unblinkingly into space most of the time. If anything, he rarely lets his eyes betray any emotion of his, instead they stare at you, unblinkingly, giving off a rather haunted vibe. His eyes are almond shaped, and every time he observes you, you can almost always assume that he is arrogant because of the way he stares down with those condescending orbs. Mate: None. Yet. Kin: Dead. Apprentice: None. Yet. Personality: Like his build, Earthstone himself is strong, yet subtle. He carries himself with a dignity not everybody knows he has. Unlike what many say, he is not arrogant, nor does he think himself higher than anyone else. Many times, people mistake him for that when they hold a conversation with him - but the only reason they walk away having this mindset of Earthstone is that this tom loves himself. He doesn't think himself as a failure, even when he does mess up. He never gives in, never says die, and never lets his thinking depress himself. The last time he did, he almost had a nervous breakdown. So that is why he decided to change his thinking, his attitude, and ultimately change his whole self. However, sometimes he does get a bit carried away, and tries to think he's stronger than he really is. Grown up in a world of loss, he learned young that the world can't be trusted. Or at least, it shouldn't be. That is why, at adulthood, he has no loved ones to care for. He doesn't believe, even in times of terrible crisis, that he should be allowed to pause, break down and say, "I can't go on. Someone needs to help me." In short, he is independent - yet at the same time he is denying himself the one thing he needs most: love and trust from another. History: When he reached apprenticehood, his mother finally sat him down and told him the shocking truth that explained why his alleged siblings were so cold to him: He wasn't Clanborn. His father found him, shivering and cold, in the dark of night, and brought him to his foster mother just hours before her real litter was born. Apparently his father's tongue had slipped and that is why Earthpaw's siblings didn't regard him as a brother, but an outsider. Not one of them. Now, this news almost shattered the poor apprentice: not the fact that he was Clanborn, but the fact that his Clanmates couldn't accept him just because he wasn't born within the shelter of the nursery like they were. Although his siblings treated him with disgust, Earthpaw could find some love deep within his heart to spare them - they did, after all, grow up together. It was then, he decided, that he would be the best warrior he could ever be, just to prove his siblings wrong, and maybe, just maybe, they would finally accept him. The plan worked fine and well, but then she entered his life. Just when he became a warrior, just when he finally had the chance to prove that he wasn't as worthless as everyone thought, he fell in love. And of all cats, he had to fall in love with a rouge - and break the Warrior Code. Oh, but surely judging a cat by whether he is of Clan blood or not is shallow, then judging a cat by whether she belongs to a Clan or not is also absurd. So in one swift move, his willpower was totally forsaken and his mission thrown aside, as he surrendered to the cares of love for many a wonderful moon. But of course, it couldn't go on forever - surely reality would intervene, with a hard knock to snap you awake. A particularly hard knock in this case. And when Earthstone discovered that his one true love had been savagely murdered by his siblings who obviously didn't know that she was the object of his affections), Earthstone retreated to a dark corner of himself and refused to come out. It was only when his kind, gentle foster mother urged him out did a corner of sunlight open up in his mind. In the following moons, his foster family would die in a vicious attack of disease, leaving Earthstone alone, with nobody to care for and nobody to care for him. But he preserved, staying strong, as his gentle mother used to tell him so often in times of darkness. He took on depression like it was the fight of his life, and emerged the battlefield battered but victorious, resuming once more to his mission: To be the best warrior he could ever be, and prove everybody his worth. |
