Stormstar
a dark grey tom with light amber eyes.
* * *
Age: 32 moons.
Gender: Tom
Rank: Leader
Clan: Nightclan
* * *
Appearance:
Stormstar’s fur is long and a rich shade of grey, making him look bigger than he actually is. Scattered around his flank and are a few very light spots of white fur, which are usually barely visible. His grey fur helps quite a bit for hiding in the shadows, although his bright amber eyes would usually reflect off anything bright, instantly giving himself away.
His whiskers are much like his fur, long and a light shade of grey. They help him navigate through the darkness at night time, making them not entirely useless.
Surprisingly, Stormstar’s structure isn’t broad or muscular like most tom cats. Instead he is actually quite lithe and agile. His lean legs and long body give both many advantages and disadvantages for fighting in battles.
Personality:
Stormstar has an aura of calmness that makes most cats want to follow his lead, making him a suitable leader for Nightclan. He is not all calm and pleasant though, he is quite the opposite. Stormstar is sly, cunning and convincing. He can easily convince a cat to change their mind about something important, and he uses this useful skill quite often.
This sly tom is only loyal to those who follow the strict warrior code. He believes that the code will ensure that the clans will live on and survive the harsh wilderness, and he strongly abides by it. If he suspects anyone disobeying the code, he would exile them without a moment of hesitation. Worthless, betraying cats had to be disposed of; he wouldn’t let them taint his clan.
Kits. Even the thought of them disgusts Stormstar. He would never purposefully have kits; they're just a nuisance to him, and he even dislikes most she-cats. But even he understands the importance of kits in a clan. Without them, there would be no clan. He might even try to save a kit of his clan from danger. But of course, not a kit from another clan. Why should he risk his life for a kit that will grow up to be his enemy?
Even though Stormstar believes in Starclan, that doesn’t necessarily mean he agrees with them. He has convinced himself that Starclan are a useless clan of dead furballs. He believes they have absolutely no control over the clans, and that they constantly try to pretend they do.
History:
In the early hours of a Leafbare morning, Stormstar was born. He was the only kit of his litter, and shortly after his birth, his mother, Icethorn died. He wasn’t left all alone, though. Shortly after he was born, a queen by the name of Silverheart volunteered to be his adoptive mother. Silverheart kept that secret along with the identity of his father; she disliked Icethorn and she was quite happy that she was dead.
Stormstar rarely asked questions about his father, he didn’t care. He was only excited and curious about the life of a warrior, he admired the leader and warriors of Nightclan.
After what felt like a moon to Stormstar, his apprentice ceremony finally took place. Much to Stormstar’s surprise, apprenticeship wasn’t as glorious and fun as it seemed when he was a kit. On the first day of being an apprentice, he was asked to clean the elder’s den and collect moss for every den in the camp. After that he didn’t care about his apprentice life anymore; he just wanted to be a warrior.
Stormstar’s warrior ceremony was boring and uneventful, like all warrior ceremonies. He had changed a lot from the time he was a curious kit, now he was sly, cunning and intelligent. He knew how to convince cats to do what he wanted and he was also extremely ambitious. He wanted to be the leader of Nightclan, and he would kill to take that position for himself.
No one was surprised when Stormstar become a deputy. To his clanmates he seemed like a very loyal warrior, no one knew that he had killed the deputy to gain his rightful position. They had said being deputy would take his mind off of his ‘mother’s’ death, who had died a few moons before.
At the time, Nightclan’s leader was strong, healthy and well-respected. He would last long, and by the time he died Stormstar would be too old to become the leader. So, Stormstar planned in secret on how he could kill his leader. He would have to make sure other cats still viewed him as a great, loyal warrior. He’d have to make Graystar’s death seem like an accident. No one could know he was involved.
Once he was ready, Stormstar led out a false trail for his leader to follow. It worked well and once he was sure no one was looking, he sprang out from the bushes, delivering a fatal bite to Graystar’s neck. Graystar lived for a few moments, and while he was alive he told Stormstar the identity of his father, which was himself. For a moment Stormstar was surprised and shocked, but he quickly regained control of his emotions, watching his newly-discovered father die in his paws.
No cat ever suspected him of murdering Graystar. He had hidden the evidence well, no one would ever know of the two murders he had done to gain leadership. Stormstar never felt guilty, he hardly thought of the dead deputy and leader. All that mattered was that he was finally leader of Nightclan.

Roleplay Sample:
Stormstar was elated, he could hardly believe that he had finally become leader of Nightclan, after moons of planning and training. He had done it though, his ambition had helped him fulfill his lifetime goal. Now he had to make sure Nightclan would survive. He would be strict on the rules of the clans. If any of his clanmates even think about breaking the code, he would punish them severely. He would only have the best warriors in his clan, they would frighten their enemies so much that they wouldn't even dare fight them. Then, Nightclan would become the strongest and most feared name in all of the lands! Cats from all over would even be afraid to speak the name.
Lost in his ambitious thoughts, Stormstar didn't even notice a rabbit break its cover, leaping right past him and running to a shadowy hole in the ground. He didn't care about prey, he was just simply wandering around, hiding his emotions from the clan. To them, he was just a calm, thoughtful cat. No one knew the real Stormstar, and he would try his hardest to keep it that way. He would have to work in the shadows, so that no cat ever discovered his dark plans.
