name Quicksilver
age 45
gender Male
clan Tempestclan
rank Warrior
reason for name Named for his swiftness and the color of his pelt
appearance descriptionQuicksilver is a large charcoal bengal tom with deep amber eyes. Quicksilver is a huge lean tom with thistle-like black claws. He tends to tower his clanmates and his size can often intimidate apprentices. His big size and colour makes it difficult for him to be too quiet and hunt during the winter. His pelt is rippled with scars and he has a large patch of fur missing across his neck and down between his shoulders, as well as a Y-shaped scar across his nose and a long scar on the right side of his mouth. Quicksilver is missing a claw in his left fore-paw, and is secretly embarrassed about it.
quirks
Quicksilver fears being forgotten, growing old, and being rejected. He usually swallows his fears down and tries to act tough around others, but has a soft spot for kits. After apprenticeship, they become annoying to him, but he enjoys the young innocence and energy they show. Secretly, Quicksilver still desires to become leader, but is willing to be patient and wait his turn....for now.
personalityQuicksilver has always been respected by his clan mates for his loyalty, strength, bravery, and ambition. He has always longed to become a strong warrior, and no cat can deny his undying loyalty to his clan- so much so that as an apprentice and a young warrior he often tried to start fights at gatherings. As an apprentice, he was very often scolded for being too boastful and too quick to jump into a battle. He eventually grew out of his narcissism, but to some of his clanmates quiet dismay, he never learned to say 'no' to a battle. Now Quicksilver has become more sensible and less reckless, but is still combative and headstrong, still extremely proud of his rank and his clan.
familyRainbreeze- Quicksilver's sister, he doesn't really hang around her as she blames him for their mother's death. Whenever they are around each other, they tend to argue and it usually ends with someone upset. As kits, they had an awkward relationship, but at least then they could hang around each other without arguing. It was during their apprenticeship that their personalities conflicted and they truly began to fall out. They rarely speak to each other after their mother's death.
experienceGrowing up, Quicksilver was always described by his clanmates as ambitious- even in the nursery he announced he would like to be leader and constantly would sneak attack the leader, but this was brushed off as kit-play and he eventually grew out of it. As an apprentice, Quickpaw realized that he had great potential, and strove to become the strongest warrior he could- and it was during this epiphany did he realize he had a knack for battle. He quickly became a boastful and annoying apprentice, and often went to gatherings to bully other apprentices and sometimes even challenging warriors older then him. This recklessness only led to a battle once, resulting in the death of Quicksilver's mother. Her death sobered him and he became more sensible and laid-back. He was a young warrior when his mother died, and in the seasons since her death he has slowly evolved into a great warrior, ready to serve his clan to his own death, if need be. Secretly, he prefers to die in battle and the thought of having to retire to the elder's den scares him. He avoids the Elder's den, afraid to see cats growing old and rotting away- fearful that it will be him one day.
