appearance descriptionlionwhisker is a cat built for battle. although his skills are strongest in hunting, he has well defines teeth and sharp, agile claws that tear through enemies in battle. his pelt, a flaming orange flag, is thick and fluffed, making him stand out against stark backgrounds. he's a relatively large tom; with broad shoulders and thick, sturdy legs. his muscles are well defined, especially around his legs and his shoulders. he always keeps his pelt groomed neatly, and it's always soft, despite his ragged personality. with bright, pale blue eyes and a pink nose, lionwhisker is by far a good looking tom cat. with the classic tabby line pattern all among his body, it's easy to tell where he obtained his name from.
gigantic paws help fill out his body, as well as a long, thick tail. the only blemish on his body is a battle scar; a single line spanning across the top of his left ear. his whiskers are long and defined, allowing him to easily keep his balance in sync with his tail during battle. the stripes and marble swirls, including the classic tabby marking on his forehead, are stark white. the bright orange of the rest of his pelt is comparable to fire, although the shades throughout vary from pale auburn of autumn, to the dark shadowy sienna of winter bark.

personalitylionwhisker is not one to make friends. with a general personality of being cunning, deceptive, and a give-no-mouse-dung attitude, lionwhisker finds himself alone a lot. it's more by choice than he thinks, because on the inside, he's a selfless, loyal, sensitive character who wants nothing more than companionship. he doesn't enjoy sharing his emotions, and won't bat an eyelash when he tells you to bug off if you bother asking. he also doesn't show when he's upset, except when he's angry. and when he's angry, oh boy is he angry. lionwhisker will deal with no excuses, no weakness. he will fight tooth and claw and take prisoners if he has to. he's the type to want to get things done when he wants them, and how he wants them. basically, it's his way, or the highway.
being a tough guy, this also means that lionwhisker is not one to betray. he sticks to the warrior code with every fiber of his being. he will defend and uphold even at the possible cost of friendships or romance- although maybe he has a surprise hidden in his pelt. he has constant urges to break these rules, but due to his past, refuses to. he looks down upon anybody else who takes a looser interpretation of the code, and wouldn't hesitate to put another cat in their place.
lionwhisker likes to act tough, but he knows his role in the clan and in life. although he might not know what's in store for him, he believes he is confined to his life of protecting his clan and doing what he feels is right. he puts it in himself to fix the world, although what he really should be doing is fixing himself. he has a problem with impulse, which led him to get into a lot of trouble in his apprentice days. although lionwhisker is still a young warrior, he demands respect from those younger than him, and may sometimes think of himself as more wise and highly regarded than he should.
he has an apt for hunting and tracking, able to move silently and stealthily across terrain to stalk his prey. he uses the same methods to stalk others in battle, although once he's confronted, there's no stopping him from fighting with everything he's got. with both a mean bite and a sarcastic, snappy bark, lionwhisker is often regarded as cold, distant, and solid. perhaps is someone were really to get to know him and thaw his heart, he might open up and discover who he is truly meant to be.

experience[[ will be expanded later ]]
lionwhisker was born in a litter with only one other cat, who happened to be his little brother, [ tba ]. his mother died less than a moon after giving birth, due to complications with his brothers birth, which was slightly delayed. lionwhisker does not hold his brother to this, but sometimes he needs someplace to put the blame, and that's where it ends up. while the other queens in the nursery stepped up to fill his mothers place, lionwhisker has never forgotten her, even with the short time he knew her. he took to being his brothers protector when he was young, while simultaneously being protected by his father. he took a great interest in this father, stormfang, from day one. he was regarded highly as a senior warrior, even by other clans. lionwhisker sought for nothing other than to be just like his father. the idea of a mate or kits never made its way into his heart, for the only thing he had room for after his father died in battle was his struggle to be just like him. he aced his apprentice training quickly, becoming a warrior quicker than his brother.
