Twistedclaw- Tom- ShadowClan

Welcome, visitor. Welcome to a forest where four Clans reside in constant competition, where loners and rogues struggle on the sidelines, where the strong are outmaneuvered by the weak and the brave make their own way through will alone. Welcome to a forest where StarClan does not speak, and no cat knows the reason for their silence. In a forest where nothing is certain, the only constant is the will of individuals to survive because every breath could be their last.

When the ancestors they vaunted went silent, there was confusion at first. Then there was panic and fear, unrest and blame. Moons passed without a word from the Clans' starry ancestors, and tensions rose until at last a bloodbath at Fourtrees put an end to the Gathering tradition. Thus began a period of silence between all the Clans of the forest—one which continues to stretch on with no end in sight.

Now StarClan has been silent for a full year, and chaos still reigns. ThunderClan and RiverClan are on the verge of war, and conflict within ShadowClan has split the Clan into two factions—the believers and the rebels. No cat hears from WindClan any more, as they keep to themselves and their so-called prophet, worshipping her in lieu of the ancestors who no-longer offer their guidance. As falling leaves herald the leaf-bare that is on its way, no cat knows what the coming moons will hold for the forest's four Clans.

[/b] Twistedclaw is the smallest of his litter. His size is made up for by close packed muscles. His leg muscles are especially impressive. He has not an ounce of fat on his body, and it's certainly not from lack of eating. He has a firm middle, narrow chest, and broad shoulders. He's a tabby. He has a pelt that is three shades of brown. A splotch of white stretches from his chin to his chest front like a glacier. Each of his paws is dipped white as frost. His tabby markings are inky black stripes like a shadow’s claw marks. He has pale green eyes, bright with a fierce desire to live, sharp with murderous intent, and marked with soul-less pupils. His claws are very long, not literally twisted. He has rough brown pads underpaw. He has a normal-sized tail, which is oddly big on his small frame, white-tipped. White hair grows out of his rounded ears. On his short muzzle, sits a dark pink nose. He has several battle marks, but the most noticeable is the nick on his tail. The one that pains him most is the slash mark running from the base of his tail to his upper-throat, earned in his battle as an apprentice. This is not usually visible unless his fur is matted down from rain.

» personality:Now, there are many rumors about the horrible things that ShadowClan cats do. Unfortunately, Twistedclaw is the nightmare that proves those rumors could be true and spurns new ones. He is a rather merciless cat towards other Clans, towards non-kin, and especially to any cat above the age of six moons. He has no sympathy for trespassers, whatever their reason, and will give any cat daring to cross the border a good clawing just for the sake of it. He’s not a cat above torturing for information, leader’s permission or not. Most importantly, he is not a cat above killing. The only thing standing between a death blow and his enemy is a brother’s word.

Ever the bad boy, Twistedclaw is rarely expected to actually work outside of battle. Even the Leader seems reluctant to give him direct orders, better to address all three siblings at once. Only moons ago, Twistedclaw outright refused to help repair damaged dens, or go hunting, or on patrol. He liked to do what he wanted on his time, and if any cat had a problem with it they could kiss his twisted ass, his brothers being the exception to that rule. Twistedclaw pays close attention to his brother Lizardeye, the brains of the litter. He's easily influenced by his either of his brothers' opinions.

He's the best fighter of the bunch though and good with battle strategy. He's very aggressive, but respectful of cats who give him a good battle (Not many of them live to be respected). Strangely enough, despite his outspokenness and boldness, he's bashful around she-cats. Most importantly, he believes that StarClan exists...He just doesn't care about them. Hazelstar's abolishment of StarClan worship has not bothered him in the least. He does stick to the Warrior Code, though he "forgets" that he doesn't have to kill his rivals in battle.

» background: This will be about the same thing for all of the brothers. Twistedkit, Lizardkit, and Snakekit were all born in the same litter. Snakekit was named for his tail, Lizardkit was named for his fur. But their mother could never explain Twistedkit's name. "It just seemed to fit." she'd reply when asked. The kits, being Newleaf born, suffered little hardship. They were all very rough when playing. And, most importantly, they were all very close.

All three were apprenticed at once. Though their mentors trained them separately, they always came together during freetime or chores. They fended off a fox (a young one) together once. They also fought in Clan battles as one single entity. Lizardpaw the brains, Snakepaw the taunter, and Twistedpaw the muscle, they were unbeatable. This battle plan has withstood the test of time.

When the time came for them to receive their warrior names, they got into their first ever fight. It was over the warrior code, which was hard to believe because they all seemed so dedicated to it. The rest of the Clan never got the details. It was only a few days after the ceremony when they came together again. From that day on they were inseparable. They hunted together, went on patrols together, and fought together.

StarClan went "missing" just as the three of them became Warriors. Although Lizardeye was mildly curious, he decided it wasn't worth investigating since he didn't have the resources to. Snaketail was more interested in the social implications of StarClan's absence, the divisions it caused within the Clan and what would happen to the Warrior Code. Twistedclaw gave little thought to StarClan in the first place and was thus unaffected by the change.

As of late, Snaketail has been up to some rather shady business. Late nights out about once a moon, meeting some strange cats. Mostly out of interest in getting a foothold in a possibly growing power, but at the moment it's not too big a deal. He's debating whether or not to approach Hazelstar about it but he wouldn't want to waste his leader's time. Lizardeye insists that what they've stumbled upon could be big, while Twistedclaw is mostly interested in expanding his list of battle moves.
