Talon the Rogue

Cat Name: Talon, formerly Sands

Tom, She-Cat, or Nonbinary: Tom



Appearance: A very small sandy cat with darker brown markings on his face and wide yellow eyes.

Personality: His mother died while kitting and he was left with his father, who was a giant hulking brute that didn't have much compassion for his runt of a son. Sands was put in rigorous battle training at a very young age by his father so "he wouldn't be as useless", which shattered Sands' self-esteem. He frequently was told about how he had killed his mother, and he carried that guilt with him as well. This torment continued for the majority of his kithood.

It was a brutal session of training where his father had him pinned. Claws were out, and Sands feared for his life. A shrill cry broke the silence, and before Sands realized it, his father was picked up by a massive hawk, leaving feathers behind.

Sands, to give thanks to the hawk that saved him, changed his name to Talon and devoted himself to worshipping birds. He is militant about protecting birds, and he still keeps the feathers from that hawk and has added more feathers to his collection. He owes the birds for his new life, and he has thrown himself into full worship, including sacrifices. Once a season, he tries to find a brown tabby (like his father) to kill and offer to the buzzards as thanksgiving and to bless the next season.

Talon is rather intense. He is emotionally blocked off from other cats yet wants a sense of belonging. He feels like StarClan is a lie and that the true deities are the birds in the forest. To fulfill his mission to the birds, he needs to purge the Clans and show them the supremacy of birds.

Clan: Loner (potentially The Forgotten Order)

Origins: NPCs
