Physical Description: Cinderoak is a large grey tom with amber eyes. His fur is short but dense, its shade the color of the slate found in the mountainous territory of CloudClan. The focal point of his angular visage is his eyes, their vibrant hue in contrast with his muted pelt. His muscled shoulders sit broadly atop his chest, top-heavy above his thick, compact legs. Despite his stature, he moves with nearly silent pawsteps—perfect for remaining undetected.

Summarized Description: Cinderoak is a grey tom with amber eyes. History: Cinderoak was born to a pair of CloudClan cats in the mountains they inhabited before the territory migration. Cinderkit was a mischievous kit who enjoyed playing with his littermates, playing pranks on other cats, and sometimes, breaking the rules. He had an idyllic kithood, complete with loving parents and a protective Clan environment.

Upon apprenticeship, Cinderpaw was given his least favorite cat in the Clan to be mentored by: a grizzled, senior warrior named Alderfinch. Alderfinch had seen many battles and cared little for foolishness, especially from her apprentices. It was clear that the leader had chosen her as Cinderpaw's mentor so that she would instill a sense of discipline in him. Cinderpaw initially found training to be entirely miserable, because it meant he had to follow the advice of this gruff she-cat who, frankly, had disdain for him. In time, however, Alderfinch molded the troublesome young tom into a capable warrior who values discipline and has respect for his elders.

The boar attack, which occurred when he was 8 moons old, affected Cinderpaw as much as it affected every cat. Although his parents fought bravely, he ultimately lost them in the attack. Their absence has left an emptiness in his heart ever since, and he considers his service to CloudClan in memory of his parents.

As a warrior, Cinderoak takes his duties seriously, yet has retained his penchant for the lighthearted parts of life. He had been close with a she-cat in similar age to him since they were apprentices, and shortly after their naming ceremonies, he and Larkflight became mates. As young love often does, their pairing resulted in a pregnancy, and the couple looked forward to starting a family. Tragically, however, Larkflight was kidnapped by Twolegs and never seen again. In the moons since, Cinderoak has mourned his love and the kits he would never meet, as it is unlikely he will ever know what became of them.

Personality: Cinderoak is possessed of a gravitating personality, somehow combining both an easygoing demeanor and a firm base for his Clanmates to rely upon. He is known for his witty humor and using that humor to lighten dreary or unpleasant situations. Having lived in barren territory for all of his life, he is no stranger to going without and making do with what little is available to him. Consequently, he knows the value of peace and of a full belly. Sample Roleplay Post(s): The patrol of CloudClan cats moved in silence across the stark, greyscale landscape. At its head stalked Cinderoak, charged with guiding the patrol through the mountainous terrain toward the Clan's borders. The recent rains had weakened the scent markers along the border with MoorClan, necessitating that they be refreshed. Do you have any other characters in the dream?
