[ BASIC ]
Name: Oddstar (formerly Oddeyes)
Gender: ♂
Age: 28 moons
---
Clan: Shadowclan
Rank: Leader [4/4 Lives]
[ APPEARANCE ]
Oddstar is a pure white shorthair tom with one blue eye and one golden eye. He is slim and relatively small, not unusually small for a cat, but smaller than most dominant toms. He makes up for it by being fast, stealthy, and a wily fighter. You would expect his white coloring to be a disadvantage in stalking prey, but he is an extremely swift and silent stalker due to his small size. When snowfall comes to Shadowclan territory, he is the best hunter in the clan. Anyone who underestimates him will feel just how sharp his claws can be.
[ ADVANCED ]
Personality: Oddstar claims that he is trying to break the tradition of cruel and corrupt Shadowclan leaders. He seems like a kind and gentle cat when in the presence of cats of other clans. He rarely starts trouble at Gatherings, and is polite to other clan leaders. But underneath, he has the interests of only his own clan at heart. He thinks that Shadowclan has one of the hardest territories to live on, because it is so close to Twolegs, and that cats of other clans look unfairly upon them when they are just trying to survive. When the boundaries are set, he will try to grab as much good territory for Shadowclan as possible.
Around cats of his own clan, he will sometimes let his feelings about other clans show. While Oddstar does not believe in Starclan, he understands the importance of medicine cats to keep the clan in good health, so he keeps quiet about his personal beliefs to avoid alienating the medicine cats. He is very loyal to Shadowclan cats, and does his best to be available to talk with whenever they need him. Any cat can approach him as long as they clear it with the deputy first ((OOC - until we get a deputy you can assume that you got permission if you want to RP with me ^^ ))
Beliefs: Oddstar does not believe in Starclan. He thinks it's a story made up by their ancestors to tell kits and to keep the clans together. It's a useful story when it gives despairing cats hope or prevents outright war, but it's still just a tale to him. Oddstar himself isn't even sure if he has the extra lives of a leader, as he has never lost one. ((OOC - please don't have your cat magically know that Oddstar doesn't believe in Starclan! It's a huge secret and he hasn't told ANYONE. Thanks!))

History: Oddkit and Sunnykit were the only two kits born to the Shadowclan warriors Addertongue and Deepwater. When they were both apprentices, Sunnypaw was taken away by accident. She was too close to the Twoleg nests, and a twoleg grabbed her and took her away to their strange place. Oddpaw saw his sister get captured, as they were both out training together, but his mentor forced him to stay hidden instead of going after her. It reinforced his resolve that it was better to be fast and have sharp senses than to be strong, because even the strongest cat can't fight death. But a fast, clever cat might be able to outrun it. When he became a full warrior, he was named deputy of Shadowclan for several moons before he became a full leader.
Origins: Oddstar was born to loyal Shadowclan parents. He has no known blood ties to other clans.
Lineage: Unknown.

NOTE: This prompt is just to show skill and is set on old Shadowclan territory, so it is non-canon ^^
Hunting snakes was tricky business. They were plentiful on Shadowclan territory, and most were harmless. They made good prey if you were clever enough to avoid being bitten. But every now and then, a venomous snake would make its way from the sunning rocks on Thunderclan's territory into the swamps of Shadowclan. So if you were going to go after a snake, you had to keep a sharp eye on its markings for the telltale signs of an adder.
This was an ordinary rat snake, and its bite would be painful, but not deadly. Still, Oddstar didn't intend to get bitten. The black snake was coiled tightly in a defensive way. Its head was low, and it was ready to lash out and strike at any second. But Oddstar was faster. He darted in, rearing up on his hindpaws and batting at the snake's head with both forepaws to confuse it. When it struck at him, he leaped up and out of the way on his strong hindlegs, evading the strike. Then he closed in and repeated the motion.
Again and again he slashed at the snake with his claws, battering and confusing it, then leaped away before it could get a bite in. Finally, when it was weakened, he lunged in and closed his jaws around its neck, just behind its head so that it couldn't turn to bite him. His jaws tightened, and the snake thrashed and then went limp. It was dead, and he had one more piece of fresh-kill to bring back to his hungry Clan. What's more, he had a little more practice in fighting snakes. If a poisonous adder should threaten the vulnerable kits of his clan, Oddstar would be ready to take it on. He didn't need nine lives or the protection of Starclan. He just needed his wits and his claws. That was the way that cats should live.
