☆☆☆
Gene String: Ll XoY BB dd Apba mcmc Tata cscs Wdw
Appearance:
Cloudpaw is average-sized for a tom, sporting a darker top half and fading into a lighter bottom. Hints of tabby markings stripe his under-eyes and roll along his shoulders, though most of his body is absent of harsh lines and instead, shift in gradients. His fur stands up no matter how much he grooms it, especially on his forehead and down the back of his neck. Pale blue eyes always observe others quietly, half-lidded and seemingly bored (or mildly amused?) by his surroundings. His default expression is quite neutral, but the sort of face one would be inclined to bat at because the next words out of his mouth are just guaranteed to be infuriating.
Personality
Please list at least three positive and three negative traits for your character below.
Positive Traits: • Sociable • Calm • Discreet | Negative Traits: • Provocative • Nonchalant • Smug |
Personality:
Cloudpaw is easy to get along with. In crowds, he tends to blend into the background- a position he is very comfortable with. The tom is more of an observer than a speaker, finding it natural to wait for a well-timed response or just actively listen. He’s happy to remain quiet and doesn’t need the spotlight.
One-on-one, he’s quick to say what’s on his mind without a change in expression; a trait some may find annoying or alternatively, incredibly fun to quip with. He can dish a jab as hard as he can take it without crossing any obvious lines (except if on accident or maliciously on purpose).
His demeanor reeks of “I’m better than you”, but he’ll insist on just being born with that face. Cloudpaw remains humble unless he’s trying to play up a joke. He’s not one to easily get riled up and stays as cool as a cucumber even in the most stressful of situations. This trait can easily be interpreted as disinterest to those not close to him. And sometimes they’re right- Cloudpaw places little importance on most things in life, choosing to go with the flow of it all. His unserious attitude can be especially annoying to those in positions of power.

Character Background
History:
Cloudpaw was born to a kittypet mother, Sundae, and an unknown father. He was originally named “Chip” (a fact he will never tell anyone else, save Shiversong), with two other siblings, Eclair and S’mores. There’s not much to recall in his kithood; the memories are distant, but good ones.
The only awful moment he can remember is when they were all brought into a bright white room and jabbed several times. The pain was only momentary, quickly distracted by tasty treats from their two-legs.
He wasn’t with his family for too long. Chip was separated once he stopped relying on his mother’s milk. His new two-legs were alright companions, however tended to leave him to his own devices.
One day, he snuck out and never looked back. Chip was an arrogant kitten and thought living outside couldn’t possibly be any harder than inside… and oh boy, was he wrong. Days of wandering with no food and dirty water was starting to make him desperate. Stronger cats shooed him away from their prey and dogs chased him through the streets, deep into the woods.
He found himself face to face with a black cat. A wild one, those crazed forest cats that supposedly ate each other. Chip hissed, puffed his fur, and worked himself up so hard that he ran right into a rock and knocked himself out cold.
When he woke up in a soft den, the same black cat provided him food and water until he had his fill.
These forest cats can’t be all that bad, after all…
He was renamed Cloudkit as a joke for being brought into camp while unconscious. The black cat, named Shiversong, continued to care for him until he made a full recovery (excluding the embarrassment for his dramatic entry, which he’d never fully heal from).
Cloudkit easily transitioned into clan life, occassionally wondering how the rest of his family was faring, but never regretted his decision to join Meadowclan. After a two moon adjustment period, he was able to enter apprenticeship with no delays.

this is more of a note to myself btw
genetics: Russian Topaz “reverse panda” in Wdw gene (no item needed). Basically his kits will be more likely to be deaf if they have higher amounts of white. He’s kind of a dilute lynx-point with white dominance(?). Ticked modifier nulls out his tabby patterning (mcmc) everywhere but his face.
