Blood of SkyClan's Profile

Base Name: Blood
Gender: Male
Age: Newborn (as of 05/24/20)
Base Coat Color: Dark Siamese
Markings: Dark brown Siamese "points" that are nearly black. Body is wrapped in thick, dark brown stripes closely resembling a "toyger" than a tabby due to thickness and contrast to his coat. He also has a wide "dorsal stripe" that covers his spine and his stripes seem to sprout from that to the rest of his body. His dark brown legs have "zebra stripes" at the top of his socks. A deep russet color forms thick borders around his dark brown stripes where ever they appear, not unlike dried blood, hence his name "Blood." He has a white underbelly that starts at the bottom of his throat and is bordered by thick cream colored fur, which in turn transitions into the dark Siamese base coat color.

Eye Color: Vivid, forest green
Breed: Big Domestic Short-hair (fancy way of saying "mutt-cat" with short fur)
Body Type: Thick Mesomorph/Small Endomorph
Height: 16" (40cm) at the shoulder at max adult height
Weight: 20 lbs
Build: Lean with killer haunches from being in SkyClan.
Voice: Surprisingly lacking in roughness or gravel as would be expected from such a large cat, but still rumbles with the deepest tones of masculinity. (Thor from the Marvel movies is a good example, not Chris Hemsworth, as Chris forces more authority into his voice when he is acting as Thor. So "Thor's voice" is more accurate. Other examples of a deep voice that lacks gravel is Dwayne "the Rock" Johnson).
Alignment: Neutral

Mentor: Wolfcall
Apprentices: Sweetpaw

Father: Wolfcall
Mother: Blossomstep
Siblings: Adder(f), Fire(f), Mist(f), Dew(f), Summit(f)


Wolfcall: I love you dad. I will do everything I can to make you proud. I will kill and die for you without hesitation. I will appear strong to you, always, no matter how weak I feel. Please... please try to remember that I am not a machine... because I will try to be, even if it costs me my sanity and my life. Please tell me that it's okay to break down once in awhile. I may not always listen, but it may be what I need one day.

Mistpaw: I love you sister. I will protect you always. If something happened to you, it would tear me apart. I would hate to tell mom or dad, but I would, because you deserve to be remembered.

Firekit: You're the fun sister. Our personalities go together well. I will defend you with my life and I know you'll have my back too.

Adderpaw: You always seem so cold and distant sister. I know you the least out of my siblings, but I love you anyway.

Smokepaw: She's... cool.

Ivypaw: She's cool too.

Briarpaw: Sorry we got off on the wrong foot. Hopefully we can see eye to eye one day.

Flintstar: Strong cat. Good leader. I hope I can be more like you one day. You seem so calm and in control of yourself. You're the leader that every clan needs.

Blossomstep: I know you're busy a lot mom. I love you. I wish we could talk more.

Spottedstar: You've made mistakes that I wish you'd fix. I think I am angry with you, but you're my grandfather and my leader... I have to respect you regardless.

Redfall: Awesome dude. Fond memories.

More to come as time goes by and as relationships develop.



Personality-wise, Blood is a very approachable tom despite his name, as he is neither outgoing nor shy. He is an ambivert, able and willing to speak to anyone but chooses to be alone half of the time. He finds it just as easy to entertain himself as he does to entertain others. The good things to say about Blood would be that he seems to think most things through more than the average kit, and this will remain true for him as he ages. He seems to understand the emotions of others, and therefore will grow into being a great empath and by some extension, a great lie detector. He adapts quickly to change and is mostly a "go with the flow" type of tom. On the other hand, Blood has been known to lose control of his emotions... and when he does, things can turn very sour very quickly. He is fiercely protective of those he cares about and in turn, just as passionate about despising those that he considers an enemy. These two sides of Blood can keep others guessing about what kind of cat he truly is. Much like his breeding, even he seems unsure.

As Blood becomes older, especially during his adolescent stage, he seems to love testing his strengths against others and improving his weaknesses where he can. Whether or not he gets along with his siblings, he is very protective of them at the end of the day, even putting them above the clan as a whole. That said, his protective nature extends to his clan as well. He is always striving to be the best, but is rarely a boastful jerk about his achievements unless another cat starts it first. Then it's just a whole new competition to be the best and biggest bragging butt hole. While he tends to be sportsman-like and polite about his losses and failures on the outside, on the inside he seethes when he fails. He uses this drive to improve himself as quickly as possible.

Most of the time, Blood is a pretty mellow tom and seems quite secure about himself. In reality, he takes every loss and every failure to heart. If he improves himself and overcomes those failures or at least finds a way to compensate for his weaknesses, great! If not, the frustration he feels towards the situation becomes more obvious, even in the form of verbally lashing out at others that were not involved. This can over complicate an already stressful situation, as he views emotional outbursts as signs of failure and weakness as well. He is a prideful tom, which allows him to push himself to improve but is also a double-edged sword since this can easily be used against him if one were to figure out how. His pride can put him in a vulnerable state of mind, prone to a short temper and making mistakes while angered. He mostly seeks his parents' approval with the leader of SkyClan's approval being a close 2nd. Whether or not this will be a problem in the future, only time will tell.

Pride and competitive nature aside, Blood is a level-headed and compassionate tom on most days. He purposely tends to avoid hurting the young and vulnerable prey species and going instead for healthier and stronger individuals. He is also willing to "mercy-kill" younger prey if their parent dies, whether to his own fangs or not. He may be untrusting of outsiders but his immediate reaction is rarely aggression. Once he is sure an outsider is not a threat and is otherwise able to leave the territory safely, he speaks to them with a polite but firm authority and informs them that they must depart, lest they rouse the ire of his clan mates. He also doesn't mind escorting a young, frightened or injured outsider to a clan that is more willing to accept strangers, though this may not be favorable behavior to his leader. Still, to assume his kindness is a weakness is an absolute mistake. Blood can quickly and effortlessly go from talking and joking with someone to trying to kill them in an instant if the need arises or if he is ordered to do so. He has the mentality and adaptability to be an excellent soldier in the heat of the moment.

A note on Blood and his stance on violence: He is not shy about it and knows that sometimes, violence is the answer. His superiors may or may not love him for this, but if he knows a situation requires more or less violence than they intended, he will act of his own accord if it means benefiting his clan. If ordered to "rough-up" an outsider that he feels is too dangerous to just be beat up in a single confrontation, Blood will take his own initiative and try to kill or at least permanently impair the outsider instead. He is willing to accept whatever punishment there may be. Everything he does is for the good of his family first and his clan second. If this gets him exiled or executed, well, he is at peace with dying with no regrets. As far as becoming a Medicine Cat, the chances are slim to none. This isn't because he has no interest in healing wounds. Wounds don't bother him. It's the vomiting, diarrhea and other illnesses that cause nasty smells that he finds himself incapable of tolerating for long.
