physical description

With a calm, resolute air about him, Cloudmask tends to play the role of the peacekeeper. This is a fitting job for the strong, laidback tom. Well built and somewhat muscular, Cloudmask can be somewhat intimidating, though he isn't the fastest or the most agile of cats. His experience, as well as the fire that he easily hides, shines through in both his unwavering green gaze and the display of scars he has, from the large, healed wound on his left flank to the small slash at his neck. His medium length, grey fur does a decent job of hiding these old reminders of his past.

the past

the history

Cloudmask is the son of a rogue tom and a RiverClanner. He was one of three toms in his litter, but he is the only one among his siblings who survived. The first parts of his life, his kithood and the majority of his apprenticeship, were spent with his rogue father. He hardly knew his mother; she left her kits early in their lives, and their father took over caring for them and raising them. Unfortunately, it was very difficult for one tom to support himself and three kits, but their mother refused to raise them, guilty for having broken the Warrior Code.

From the moment they could walk and use their claws, Cloud and his siblings were learning to hunt. He was the strongest of the litter, and the quickest learner. Even so, they all starved. As a last resort, Cloud's rogue father joined a group of cats in twolegplace, bringing his kits with him. There, it was survival of the fittest, and training was harsh. If a cat couldn't pull his own weight, there was no rescue. Cloudmask was the only one who survived the tough training and at last fled twolegplace, alone. His father was killed in a fight Cloudmask witnessed, but couldn't step into.

On his own and finally liberated, the apprentice aged rogue spent several days hunting for himself and avoiding contact with other cats. He wasn't weak, but when a group of cats entered the territory he was residing in, he was overpowered. Barely getting out of the run in alive, Cloudmask needed somewhere to go. He was bleeding severely from a gash across his flank, and he was unfit to fend for himself. It was only a faint memory of an overheard conversation between his mother and father that brought forth the idea of joining a clan.

When he first arrived at his mother's clan, he was near death, and at the mercy of the cats who found him on their patrol. Though he was already an apprentice, and nearly old enough to be a warrior, Cloudmask was given treatment. As he was about to be sent on his way, he revealed his mother's identity. The she-cat had never come back to her clan, but her sister was willing to adopt Cloudpaw, and soon after, he earned his warrior name, Cloudmask. Since joining RiverClan, he has always done his best to prove his loyalty and do his duty to his clan. RiverClan is his new family, and though he isn't sure whether or not he believes in StarClan, he counts himself a clan cat, loyal to the clan and the Warrior Code.

other Is it alright that he was born and raised outside of RiverClan? The bans/encouragements list said the RiverClan accepts half-clanners, but I wasn't sure whether this counted, as opposed to a cat born in one clan and raised in another.
