Name: Cometstar
Gender: Male
Age: Four summers
Clan: ShadowClan
Family: Thunderwolf(mate), Crystalpaw(daughter)
Apperance:[/b] Picture URL: i5.photobucket.com/albums/y177/peofun612/CometfireOC.jpg
A handsome tom cat with a stiff-haired golden pelt and creamy chest and belly and dark redish-brown paws and striped tail. He has disfiguring scars across the left side of his face as well as on his shoulder and haunches. He is blind in his left eye. His one good eye is a bright, cheerful golden color that always glows with kindness.
Personality: Cometstar is very upbeat and cheerful, always trying to make other cats laugh. He can come off as completely scatter-brained sometimes, being very forgetful and silly. Some think of him as the Clan clown because he is always joking around and never takes anything seriously, no matter what the situation. His confidence is undaunted by the scars across his beautiful face, and continues with his life as if they don't exist. He is very friendly to every cat, whether they be from his Clan or not.
Dispite being half blind, he is able to fight and hunt as well as any cat, using his nose and ears to guide him. He is a pacifist, and doesn't like to fight, but he will if he has to. In battle, his outgoing attitude evaporates and he is all bussiness. Being very quick and sure-footed, he weaves around his opponent, dodging in and out to strike and confuse the enemy before they can land even one blow. Cometstar is happy as long as every other cat is happy, and if they aren't he'll do his best to make them happy.
Cometstar is indescisive sometimes, haveing to look to his mate or his deputy for help. He often puts the needs of the Clan before his own, going many a sleepless night on patrols or going days without fresh-kill when prey is scarce. Sometimes he will even put the needs of other Clans before his own, sticking his nose where it doesn't belong.
It's easy to tell what Cometstar is thinking. He doesn't try to hide his feelings because he doesn't believe that keeping secrets is a good thing for the Clan leader to do, and always voices his thoughts. Even if he doesn't tell the Clan all about it, he doesn't try to hide when he is unhappy or estatic. Unlike ShadowClan cats of the past, he doesn't even try to keep his eyes cold and expressionless. When Cometstar is happy, he wants everyone to be happy, so he lets his happiness out to effect the whole Clan. And when he is sad, a cloud of gloom seems to hover over the camp and he hides away in his den.
Some might say he's more suited to be an apprentice forever with his boundless energy, but his heart is in the right place an he has greatly improved ShadowClan.
History:
Cometkit was born on a night when the sky was ripped open by a blaze like a clawmark cutting across the heavens. The light was called a comet, and he was named after it. Born an only child, his parents loved him and were determined to protect him from anything.
Kithood
Cometkit was a normal kit from birth; or so it seemed. From a very early age, he started trying to get involved in the Clan's bussiness. He started making suggestions to the warriors-and even the leader-about what they could do to improve the Clan's relations with the other Clans. At first the warriors only brushed him away. Cometkit was just a kit, he didn't know what he was talking about.
But his incessive mewlings continued. He was always speaking of peace and being friends with the other Clans. He started trying to order around the warriors, contridicting what the leader and the deputy ordered. The leader then, a huge tomcat named Flickerstar, was a very aggresive cat and did not appreciate this kit trying to undermine his leadership. Flickerstar threatened Cometkit, telling the kit that if he didn't stay in the nursery like a good little kit he would never become an apprentice and he would personally chase Cometkit from the Clan. Cometkit, who was rather meek and fearful to begin with, was terrified into staying inside the nursery until he was six moons old.
Apprenticeship
Flickerstar took on Cometpaw as his own apprentice. He claimed that the young cat had a lot of potential, but really he wanted to just keep him in his place. Flickerstar was harder on his own apprentice than on his warriors. When they trained, he fought with his claws unsheathed, throwing himself at Cometpaw with all his might. Cometpaw was fast and cunning, but that didn't mean he escaped every blow.
Luckily for Cometpaw, he was a fast learner. He was soon able to match his leader move for move and catch any piece of prey that got close enough. But Flickerstar still wasn't impressed. He told Cometpaw that he would never be a real warrior until he could fight with real aggresion and show no mercy. But Cometpaw was a pacifist. He didn't want to fight anyone he didn't have to, perfering to work things out with words.
Seeing how his mentor would never be happy until he changed his attitude, Cometpaw started to mimic Flickerstar's words and actions as well. Soon he'd taken on a whole different personality, one that was cruel and short-tempered just like Flickerstar's. Finally the leader was impressed. He informed Cometpaw that perhaps he would make a good warrior after all and gave him his warrior name.
Being a Warrior
Cometfire was never happy in ShadowClan. They were looked upon with distain by all the other Clans for being ruthless and mean. They were always causing trouble for the other Clans, and now that he was a warrior he had to fight in all these pointless battles and border disputes. he really dispised Flickerstar, and believed that the Clan would be a lot better off if ShadowClan tried to be friendly and left the other Clans alone.
One day Cometfire was out hunting alone with his thoughts. He was chasing a squirrel when he realized too late he'd crossed it over the RiverClan border. Before he had time to stop and race back to his own territory, he was tackled and flipped over by a ThunderClan warrior. Her name was Thunderwolf, and after he explained himself she let him up and apologized. He was struck by her beauty and the graceful way she moved, and they immediately fell in love.
Dating a RiverClan cat was not easy. The only times they could meet were at night, and he was always wary around camp that someone had noticed what he was doing at night. Cometfire became very jumpy and suspiscious, and didn't let any cat get close to him, ever. He felt like he could tell Thunderwold anything Cometfire confessed to her his frustration with the way ShadowClan was run, and the way he wish he could change things. Thunderwolf suggested he voice his opinions among some of the younger warriors and gaining himself some supporters. If enough cats shared the same view, Flickerstar would have to listen to what they had to say.
So Cometfire did just that. He spoke to some other young warriors, warriors he had trained with, and got them to see the reason behind what he said. They passed on the news to the older warriors too. Some of them agreed with Cometfire, but the senior warriors still sided with Flickerstar. They warned him that there was a traitor among ShadowClan-And his name was Cometfire.
Flickerstar challenged Cometfire, calling him a traitor and a rouge. But Cometfire had gained support from many of the ShadowClan warriors, and Thunderwolf had come to help him as well. When Flickerstar ordered the Clan to drive Cometfire out, a battle broke out in the clearing. Cometfire's supporters battled fiercely against the warriors who still supported Flickerstar while Cometfire went after the leader himself. The two of them battled for what seemed like forever. Flickerstar lost one life after another, but in the process Cometfire lost his left eye. Finally Cometfire cornered the leader and took his last life. But with his dying words, Flickerstar uttered one last curse upon his former apprentice:
"Your leadership will not last long. Soon a warrior will rise to challenge your leadership just as you challenged mine. But this time, it will be your own son!"
Leadership
Cometstar had never wanted to be leader. He hadn't even wanted to fight. All he wanted was to influence ShadowClan's leader so as to make the Clan better. But now that the previous leader was dead and Flickerstar's supporters had been driven out, the remaining warriors looked to him to lead them. So Cometstar reluctantly took his place as the Clan's rightful leader. StarClan accepted him gratefully, and he began to change the Clan for the better.
Cometstar told his warriors to be kinder to the other Clans. He told them to help any cat in need, no matter what Clan, and to keep to their own territory. He warned them that there would be dire consequences for any cat caught making trouble for another Clan.
Although he sometimes has doubts about his leadership, Cometstar is determined to transform his Clan into something he can be proud of. No longer will kits in other Clans be told stories of the viscious ShadowClan cats, but of the kind, merciful ShadowClan cats. Under his leadership, ShadowClan has started to change. They have not started a battle for no reason since he took over.
But now that his beloved Thunderwolf is pregnant with his kits, the words of Flickerstar's prophecy come back to him, ringing in his ears. Would his son really be his downfall?
