Name: Dusktalon
Age: 37 moons
Gender: Tom
Rank: Warrior
Sexuality: Bisexual
Apprentice: Open
Other: Starburst, Trains in the Dark Forest
◣◢
Dusktalon is a strong, independent, and stubborn cat. Dark and menacing, he could frighten even the bravest warrior. The tom is a rather muscular cat with an intimidating expression. While he is incredibly good at fighting, his balance and stealth could use some work. His heart belongs to Slateclan, though he doesn't always agree with or follow the warrior code. Although he believes he is loyal to his clan, he whole-heartedly agrees with Swiftstar's tactics. He is perfectly fine with using manipulation and fear to get what he wants, without a single shred of remorse.
History: As a kit, Dusktalon didn't enjoy playing with the other kits. Instead he preferred to watch and observe them. This meant he got much less attention from his mother. While the other kits were praised, he was left out. Once becoming an apprentice, he started to enjoy fighting, in fact he became obsessed with it. A lot of other apprentices would say they loved to practice fighting to serve their clan. But Dusktalon didn't love it in the same way the others did, he loved it for the sake of fighting and attention. He loved it every time someone would praise him for doing something right. He didn't just love it, he craved it. The tom craved it to the point where fighting was all he wanted to do. Every chance he got, he spent practicing attacking from dawn to dusk, with the exception of a couple of tasks here and there. Over time, people stopped praising him, causing the tom to strive harder. Dusktalon came up with new fighting tactics, and for a while that earned him praise but it soon faded as well. Now, as a warrior, he no longer craves such praise. He has begun to realize the only opinion that matters is his own. Although, he is never truly satisfied with himself, he continues to strive the be the the strongest of them all.

Name: Smokewhisper
Age: 30 moons
Gender: She-Cat
Rank: Warrior
Sexuality: Homosexual
Apprentice: Open
Other: Eventual Dark Forest training
◣◢
Smokewhisper is a calm, level-headed she-cat that most cats know nothing about. She gives off a quiet demeanor that can be quite haunting. Her eyes often hold no expression and her words lack emotion. Little do they know, she is overflowing with emotion. Just below the surface lies a sea of hatred. The she-cat does her best to keep it sealed off and doesn't have any plans to ever act on her hatred. Instead, she misplaces her anger into serving her clan. But, there's only so long she can act as though she is alright.
History: From the time she was a kit, it seemed no one thought she would ever amount to anything. The she-cat was the runt of the litter, causing her own father to disown her. She thought things would get better once she became an apprentice. If anything, the teasing got much worse. It often took her longer to learn or even be able to do the same things other cats were doing. Around the camp she would hear others whispering about her, talking about how far behind she was in her training. This infuriated her, so she tried harder, but it was never enough to catch up to the other apprentices. The she-cat would do everything in her power to be treated equally. Over time and after a lot a hard work and dedication, others started to accept her as a real warrior. Now, it seems everyone else has forgotten about her struggles to become a warrior. But Smokewhisper will never forget the way they made her feel so lonely.

Rank: Warrior
Sexuality: Pansexual
Apprentice: Open
Crush: Aspenfur
Other: N/A
◣◢
Emberheart is a fiercely loyal warrior. Generally, he is fairly outgoing and always willing to help out when needed. He takes his role in the clan very seriously and constantly works to improve himself to better serve his clan. The tom is incredibly swift and calculated, yet he is not the strongest. Emberheart thinks through everything, constantly thinking of consequences of his actions and the actions of others. While this is helpful most of the time, there are times when it has cost him deeply. The striped tom is a perfectionist in every sense of the word. Although, he does not demand perfection out of others, only himself. Whatever he's doing has to be the best he can possibly do or, in his eyes, he has failed.
History: As an apprentice he stood out for his ability to easily catch most prey due to his swift nature. He enjoyed spending time with the elders in camp and hearing all their tales of adventure. A few moons after becoming a warrior, he met the love of his life, another tom cat. The two were in inseparable, they did everything together. At least, until the day his partner died in battle. For moons, Emberheart mourned in silence. Now, he carries on without his partner but he will always have a special place in his heart for him.
