10 moons | tom | Shadowclan | Apprentice
"Intelligence without ambition is a bird without wings."
A dirty white tom with a black mask around his face.
Appearance:
Fur
Maskpaw doesn't look much like his sister. Most of his fur is a dirty white color that is always messy and he can't seem to keep it clean. His ears, tail tip, paws, and face are a dark ashy brown compared to the rest of his fur. Like his sister his fur is very long and he hates it. He hates his fur because it always gets in the way of his training and it drives him nuts. Plus its always getting dirty. He wishes with all his heart that he could just cut it all off. If Starclan could give him one big wish then that would be it. To have short, easy to take care of fur.
Body Build
Unlike Sleepingpaw, Maskpaw is a larger cat like his mother, Blackrose. Even though his legs are quite short his strength is quite over average. His muscles can be seen in his legs and shoulders quite nicely. His tail and neck are also quite short in size but his neck is great in strength.
Eyes and other
The facial features of Maskpaw are quite simple. His nose is black, his whiskers are white, What more is there? Well the dark fur on his face is one of the reasons why his name is Maskpaw. although his eyes are a bright blue making them quite easy to spot in a 50 mile radius. He wishes they were a darker color but he does not despise them as much as his fur.
Persona:
Outside
Truthfully you never know what your going to get with Maskpaw. Most of the time he is very serious and quiet. Though no one really knows him well enough to know what his true personality is. Not even his sister. He doesn't really talk too much in crowds but would rather talk individually. If your a leader or mentor he MAY hold a respectful tone with them. Sometimes he could act rebellious and other times he could act determined. Maybe he'll be shy to a she-cat his age just to get their attention. So I beg you to be careful.
He is a volcano just waiting to explode with hot lava to kill instantly and a storm for cleaning evidence.
When Maskpaw talks to an individual cat he usually sugarcoats his voice with a smooth milky membrane. Not noticeable enough to be suspicious but strong enough to be convincing. He uses it to keep his secrets but still get information and to always get what he wants. Though he usually knows when he can't win a battle.
Inside
Despite his calm and collected attitude it is possible to see that quick flash in his eyes that says... "Maskpaw is more intelligent then he lets on and one day he is going to rule your Hide." This tom is VERY smart. Smarter then even the average clan cat. His intelligence goes off the charts. His mind is his best weapon and he plans on using it. On the outside he looks more like a follower ready to take orders but his heart is bursting to be in control. Of course he is only 8 moons old and he knows this. He had to decide to go world domination when he becomes a warrior. Even then his carefully decided plan was going to take a little while longer then that.
Ohkay remember when I said that this dangerous / crazy look often gets in his eye as if you were his next target? Well is does happen and he never really knows when it does. Most of the time its very brief and you never really register that fact in your mind. Often when you do register the fact that Maskpaw has an insane look in his Icey blue eyes then you aren't even sure if it was there at all.
Maskpaw is not a goodie-four-paws kind of tom. He is very devious in thought and not that simpathetic. A blank expression is often found on his face. However Maskpaw is not yet a killer. Even the thought of it makes him woozie. Don't underestimate him just yet though. Maskpaw is dangerous. He is the type of cat to be messed with or underestimated in the begining and then surprise every cat with his betrayal.
Oh yeah one more thing about Maskpaw. He doesn't believe in Starclan. The whole thing makes no sense to him. However he talks as if he does.
Truth or Dare
If you ask Maskpaw what his fear is he will deny having any at all. He doesn't believe in fear. He isn't afraid of Water, heights, or dogs. Badgers and foxes don't bother him even though he is quite small for his age. Not too small mind you. If you comment on that you might not be able to walk again. Anyway, back to his fears, or not fears.
Even though he thinks he doesn't have any fears he actually does of course. He doesn't really know about them yet but they are very real.
Unknown to him he has a new side of him just waiting to happen. Maskpaw is very jealous of the other cats. He's not quite sure why but this makes him grow very angry inside. Which gives him this crazy personality that someday he may not be able to control. When he finally realizes this he becomes steadily afraid of it every day. Though its not always in check.
He's also afraid to die and to die alone. He hates the feeling of being alone even though it his choice for being by himself all of the time. The thought of dieing and falling into a black hole of nothingness creeps him out too. And even though he doesn't believe in Starclan he wishes to the stars that the ancestors were real. Though he's not entirely sure if he would believe in them even if he saw them with his own eyes.
History:
Before his-story
Blackrose was a beautiful, stubborn, black Hiddenclan she-cat was newly named when she started to hang out with the young tom Swiftfoot. Blackrose thought of herself as a best friend to him but gradually over time the tom found that he loved her. Now Swiftfoot may have been fast but he was one quiet and almost shy tom. He didn't know what would happen if he asked Blackrose to be his mate. He loved her but he didn't think that she loved him back. However on the other side of things, Blackrose was just waiting for him to ask her. She loved him also but she too didn't know how to say it without him thinking of it as too weird.
So finally one night before a gathering Swiftfoot left some wild roses that he found next to her nest. While he was at the gathering she found them and she just knew that they were for her. So when they got back there was a moment of silence before they both confessed their love for one another.
Its wasn't until a two moons later that Blackrose became pregnant. Blackrose was upset because she knew that soon she would have to go and sleep in the nursery instead of the warrior's den. She also didn't like the fact that soon she would be stuck in there for a long time taking care of some kittens. She knew that she was going to go insane if she was stuck in there the whole time.
Finally it was time for her to have her kits. She had three of them. Two toms and a she-cat. Two of them were black like Blackrose [the two toms] and the she-kit was a black with greyish white hairs almost over masking the black. The she-kit was named Sleepingkit because of her nightlike fur and later her blind eyes. The toms were Ravenkit, named for his black fur and Maskkit, named for his white fur with black muzzle.
Kitting
Often feeling his mother's attention and love, Maskkit was a good natured tom that always thought through his doings. He loved his brother Ravenkit and looked up to him because he was the oldest and the funnest. Sleepingkit always slowed them down so he never really thought of her. She would follow or she would not and that was that.
Later Ravenkit would tease Sleepingkit an awful lot and so Maskpaw would tease her as well. He didn't know why he followed his brother everywhere or why he did everything his brother told him to do, he just did. Finally Maskkit started to think for himself and he would go off and hang out with the older cats. However, he still looked up to Ravenkit and always would, because Ravenkit was his brother and he cared for that tom like no other.
When Blackrose had killed Ravenkit because of something that Swiftfoot had done, Maskkit became horrified and so therefore blamed it all on Sleepingkit. He blamed it on Sleepingpaw because it was Sleepingpaw that Blackrose had wanted to strike, not Ravenkit. He hated the she-cat for not being the kit to die by their mother's claws. He couldn't believe that Ravenkit was actually gone. It was around that time that he had actually started having strange and smart ideas pop inside his head. When he realized how smart he really was most of his uncertenty disappeared and the hatred for his sister increased.
Apprenticeship
When He became an apprentice and his father died, Maskpaw didn't really care. He decided that his father didn't do much for him so it wasn't worth crying over him.
