Personality:
[ Nice | Shy | Peaceful | Doubtful | Wary ]

[ Nice ] : Bonesnatcher is known for his gentle heart and compassion towards other felines. He hardly comes to hate someone. When angered, he tries his best to soothe down the tension and try to find a solution to end the quarrel. Because of his gentle nature, it's hard for Bonesnatcher to betray others or hold a grudge, but he's not perfect and under certain circumstances, he might go against his nature to protect the ones he loves and care for. His nature also helps him to be supportive around others and positive. He likes to be of any kind of help and is willing to take a fall for another to rise.
[ Shy ] : He was known to be very timid when he was still young. As he grew up, Bonesnatcher can still be seen shying away from others or flush red under many eyes and in a crowded place. He tends to stutter a little when too timid, but he grows quickly out of it when a friendship starts to form. But he's mostly shy around higher ranks or females. The fact that he was quite popular with she-cats during his kit and apprentice hood, has made him a natural shyer around females, even though he has a mate and offspring.
[ Peaceful ] : He's clearly not a fighter. Bonesnatcher would never resort to fighting even if forced by his leader. Not without a very good reason. When it comes to protect himself, Bonesnatcher prefers to use his speed to get away from a fight. But, when his clan or loves ones come in harm, he's capable of going against his own nature, though he avoids it. He likes to share tongue with fellow clan-mates and share news with them in a peaceful environment. Not really talkative, he gets lost in thoughts pretty easily and can easily be snapped out of it. In quarrels, he's known to be submissive, especially if the quarrel relates to something he's guilty of.
[ Doubtful ] : After been forced out of his land, Bonesnatcher grew a bit hopeless. He has lost most of his confidence and even comes to question his own judgement. He's never sure of anything and takes a long time to make up his mind. It has made him somewhat of a poor hunter when actually, he was once known for his amazing hunting skills.
[ Wary ] : Bonesnatcher was normally a very friendly tomcat, who enjoyed other cats' presences and questioned the warrior's code regarding other clans being their potential enemies. He saw no need of restrictions when it came to be friends with other clan cats. But now, Bonesnatcher's thoughts about this subject has changed greatly, say, changed completely. He finds it hard to trust other cats, especially other clan members. He would never trespass another clan's border without a really good reason. He'll eye any cat who looks suspicious or seem to be hiding something. That sometimes leads him in butting inside a conversation.


Extras:
<sub>- His name says it all. Bonesnatcher is a bone collector. He collects the bones from his previous kills and keep them hidden in a particular place. No one really knows why he does it. It's something he can't have power over.
- He's a precise killer. After examining prey's bone structure, Bonesnatcher learned where to strike for a instant kill. It has helped him gain the title of 'Precise Killer'. Though during the deluge, Bonesnatcher has come across many cats' corpses...
- Bonesnatcher's hind claws are blunted by his constant running but his fore claws are sharpened like razors.</sub>


Appearance: Abyssinian breed. A slim tomcat with broad shoulders and a crimson-brown coat. A striking line goes all the way from his cranium to the tip of his tail that spreads with tabby markings which resembles a lot like a skeleton. He has copper eyes and a dark brown nose that blends perfectly with his dark colouration.

Brief Backstory:
// Karmen was the name of Bonesnatcher's mother, a pure bred Abyssinian. She was a pampered kittypet with loving owners. She wouldn't go out too far of her home and normally would only venture around her backyard. She met a tomcat by the name of Skullface. They got along just fine and eventually, became mates.

// Skullface was a Bengal cross tomcat. He came from the hills and from a clan, but was exiled after brutally killing another clan cat. He kept that secret from his mate.. till the day she gave birth. He then admitted the truth.

// Horrified, Karmen never dared leaving her house again. Skullface guessed and left her be, but without some last words. "Your kits will share my blood as well. Don't be surprised if they turn out just like me." Karmen heard his warning and took them seriously. There was a possibility for them to turn out like their father and become criminals. But, that would only happen if they knew about him.. right? And so, she decided to hide the truth from her kits.

// She gave birth to two toms; Spot and Bone. Spot came bulky like his father while Bone came slim like his mother. Everything seemed normal with the family, until Bone started showing some odd behaviour. He's been collecting small bones from the two-legs' dinner, hiding them under the couch's pillow. Karmen hated that bad habit of his and desperately tried to convinced him of stopping. She started telling him that he would never be adopted by a two-leg if he kept doing that, but he couldn't stop. His mother grew anxious, wondering if those were the signs her mate has told her. In desperation, Karmen scolded him that if he continued, he'd never be adopted and her two-legs would probably throw him out if no wanted him. Deeply hurt, Bone took his mother's words too seriously. No one wanted him, not even his mother.

// And just like his mother told him, he wasn't adopted. Broken hearted, Bone decided that it was time for him to leave. He was only 4 moons old when he left, and he left with a treasure that would be a source of warmth and help him remember of his family. He left with a little chicken bone. Little he knew about the real reason of his rejection by the other two-legs. The truth was, his mother's owners found his habits cute and hilarious. They wanted to keep him with his mother... Well it was too late for that.

// He was found by a clan cat and brought to live with them. He earned his new name as Bonekit and eventually, became Bonepaw.

// Despite him not being born in the clans or him being highly reserved, Bonepaw turned out to be the ladies' tom. He has grown popular in his clan and is often seen with she-cats.

// During his apprentice hood, Bonepaw fell off a tree and nearly broke all four legs. Luckily, he was helped by another clan cat by the name of Coalpaw. She brought him back to his clan but left before he could thank her. But when he was fully healed, Bonepaw went out to search for the she-cat who helped him by the borders. It took him a while, but he finally came across her. They became friends.

// He sneaked out a lot to hang out with her. She was very dear to him and he wanted to spend all his days with her. He then realized that she meant more to him. Unfortunately, she was promised to another tom and it broke his heart. He tried to remain her friend and maybe meet the tom in question, to see if he was the right one for her and if he could treat her well. The tom was clearly a strong cat and could easily defend and protect her. Defeated, Bonepaw decided to not try and win her heart. She'd be happier with him. But to his surprise, he was approached by the tom himself and was asked to take care of Coalpaw for him. Confused, Bonepaw accepted.

// When he became a warrior and earned his full name, Bonesnatcher chose to leave his former clan in order to live alongside his mate, Coalshine. And soon, they were blessed with kittens.

// A deluge took hold of the hills and swallowed it completely. In the horror, Bonesnatcher lost one of the cats that was the dearest to him, Dustsky. Her loss affected him a lot and he cursed the water for the rest of his life. But not only that, Bonesnatcher found himself witnessing the death of another very important cat.. Coalshine. She was swallowed in the waves and was never seen again. Out of despair, the Abyssinian tried to save her but was stopped by the deputy.

// Bonesnatcher created an outrage and blamed everyone in the clan for his mate's death, especially the deputy. His example was highly provocative, pushing the deputy to her limit. He was forced out the clan, forced out of the hills. Blinded in rage, he accused directly the deputy for Coalshone's death, accusing her of murderer before leaving. He should have kept his mouth closed, cause what followed was clearly his fault. The deputy exploded out after him and attacked him, shredded him. Weakened by the pain of losing his mate, Bonesnatcher stood no chance against her and was swallowed by the waves, his deputy's cold gaze watching him be taken away by the current.. until blackness engulfed him.

// He was saved by Ghost, a rogue cat who saw him sink into the dark water. Ghost was one of Bonesnatcher's worst nemesis. He killed his best friend, Pinepaw and attacked his mate before he became a warrior. Confused by Ghost's sudden action, Bonesnatcher questioned him, asked him why he didn't leave him to die. The tom told him that his mate was still alive.. somewhere, and that one of his kittens, would join him shortly.

// Bonesnatcher chose to leave, and let fate work the rest out. One of his kittens would find him shortly... and one day, he'll finally be reunited with his mate.

Role-Play Example:
Taken from a rp in TGB
It was quite chilly this morning, but it wasn't a problem for the pale tan she-cat. Thanks to her element, the cold didn't seem to affect her this much and also, she had lost almost all of her baby coat while growing up. Her lost coat was replaced with a sleek one, perfect for swimmers. But it was a good thing she was unaffected by the cold. Vitani was always making sure that her appearance was well kempt. As she grew up, she started to care more and more about her physical appearance and slowly made it seen in her attitude. She would skip a meal if she feared that her haunches were getting unusually big and would spend hours watching her reflection of frozen liquid. But, that wasn't the main reason of her slowly changing attitude. Her sight was growing poor as well, not helping her to distinguish any objects from far off, only able to see them from up close. From very close in fact. This caused her to grow more insecure around cats she didn't recognize. At least her sense of smell wasn't diminishing. In fact, it was getting stronger and her hearing too. It was a big help in her training though, she normally only used her senses when training with the silver-healer. She could identify many herbs just by smell, and she was very proud of it. But, she was neglecting some of her training with Sterling. Being a healer seemed so much better for her... but, she knew she could never become one. Not with the tattoo she wore. But instead of feeling torn, the she-cat was using this to make her better. She wanted to prove her mother and Neiru that she could be a great healer even without gracing their powers. It was bringing joy in her every days chore, but of course, every cat needed a break. "I wonder how he's doing..." she murmured, her eyes skywards, glistening with hope. It had been so long since she had talked to the blue-shadow... to Hero. She missed him. Her trainings had prevented her from exploring the forest or any other place. She was mostly found at the beach, helping out Neiru in her den or chatting with her friends at camp. She rarely went to the lake... but she had her reasons. Looking over at her feathery tail, a tail-band decorated the tassel, shining faintly as the small bits of gems reflected the light above her. It was a beautiful accessors... but it was given to her by the green and blue Earth-triber, Flash. She felt guilty to carry the gift around, especially when Kristla was with her. Kristla liked the tom and this gift seemed to have shaken her a bit. But Vitani loved it... it was so pretty. She really wanted to keep it. Sighing, the she-cat emerged into the open of Moonfish Lake, her head hanging a little as she was flooded by the past events, the drama she had cause between her best friend and that tomcat. How she wished she could simply be with-- "Hero?" she blinked, her nostrils flaring the air agitatedly. "Hero, is that you? Where are you?" she mewed lightly, her ears perked, swivelling. She could have swore smelling the familiar scent of the tomcat. Such a scent, she could never forget it. It belonged to him, she was certain.
