Snaketail - 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] Snaketail is a considerably darker brown then his brothers. He's the biggest, but mostly in height, due to his admirably long and elegant legs. He stands at about 11 inches from head to toe, only slightly taller than the average cat. His body is thin with lean rippling muscles operating beneath the long and full tabby fur. Because he's not built for speed, he has had to train hard to build up his fighting style of swift and powerful attacks. His movements are jaunty. His mouth has a single splotch of white, which blossoms down his chest and kisses each of his four paws. His tail is a bit longer than his legs, full fluffy, and distinctly striped in a snake-like pattern. He has no battle scars that can be seen over his fur. His claws are pearly white. The pads under his paws are pink and soft. His face is soft looking as well, all curves with facial muscles and bones melting smoothly into a soft innocent tom face. He has fairly long whiskers, usually wilting downward. His nose is a rosy pink. Most awe-inspiring are his round wide amber eyes bright and passionate all at once, enshrouded by the darkest of his pale tabby markings.

» personality:Of all three of his brothers, he is the most socially comfortable. He's a master orator. He can be cool and casual one second, then passionate and outspoken the next. His wording and manner are elegant, but not too uptight. His sarcasm is that of stingingly truthful venom, so it’s best not to invoke it. Snaketail has always had a deep love for his clanmates, especially his brothers. He's on fair terms with all the cats in his clans and has considerable influence over his clanmates. However, there is always a mysterious air about him. Snaketail is committed to his Clan and the warrior code. But that doesn't mean he can't be manipulative in order to help he and his brothers succeed. He's quite cunning, but he allows Lizardeye to do the major planning and decision making. Then, Snaketail effectively voices his brother's concern for the Clan to the leader.

In battle, he believes in straightforward fighting. Frontal blows and facing his opponents head on. Mercy is not an unheard of concept for him and he respects his enemies that put up a good battle, whether they flee or die at his claws.

They work hard but then they get to play. With almost kit-like hobbies, such as tossing moss balls, or flinging mud, or chasing each other under the darkness of ShadowClan’s night, Snaketail manages to forget for even just a moment, the weight of the forest and the Warrior Code.

» 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.
