PERSONALITY-

 Brave
Staticsnow will never run from a fight. If a CamasClan cat is in dire need of help, on the battlefield or off of it, he'll always rush to their aid with claws unsheathed. He will sacrifice his own safety if the situation demands it.

 Tenacious
He's never been a quitter. For his entire life, Staticsnow has had to work extra hard to keep up with his peers and become a capable warrior. It takes a lot to get him to give up on something; death will likely find him before his persistence falters.

 Selfless
Despite his rough-and-tumble nature, Staticsnow goes out of his way to help others. This is a new development for him. After he and his sister were gravely injured, he found empathy for other cats in his heart where there was none before. 

 Outspoken
Staticsnow has no filter. This can be a good thing in that he's not usually one to hide his emotions; however, it can also be a bad thing in that other cats have to hear his loud opinions on absolutely everything.

 Showy
He's very very proud of his own strength. This comes from how hard he worked to bulk up as an apprentice. He's constantly flexing (both literally and figuratively), and he will most definitely compare his own strength to others in a belittling way. 

 Enthusiastic
He might be an experienced warrior now, but Staticsnow still feels the need to prove himself, to some degree. If something is within his capability, he'll be the first to volunteer himself to do it. This can and often does work him to exhaustion.

 Impulsive
Staticsnow does not think before he acts. He'll throw himself into fights and whatnot with reckless abandon, as evidenced by the rather large scars he bears. This also extends into arguments or teasing, as he doesn't really think about how his words will affect others.

 Mocking
He and Bentbeetle have always been the teasing and bullying sort. He's a bit less rude than he was in his youth, but that really isn't saying much. He WILL aim low at times and make others mad for fun.

 Paranoid
Being attacked by a hawk has made Staticsnow very paranoid of being attacked again. He's fixated on the fact that enemies and predators could always be lurking just outside of eyeshot. He constantly checks behind his back. 



MISC-

spirituality: Believes in StarClan. Not overly spiritual. 

likes:
- eating hawk moths
- spending time with Bentbeetle
- showboating his strength and prowess
- impressing others, especially from other Clans
- making jokes at other cats' expense (yes, vulgar and lowbrow ones as well)
- trying new things/learning new skills
 
dislikes: 
- sunny days
- having to aloe his skin (he gets sunburnt pretty often)
- feeling helpless or defeated
- specifically hunting during the daytime

fears: 
- death/losing his sister
- birds
- completely open and exposed spaces

skills: 
- exceptionally good at hiding and sneaking; being a tiny cat who had to learn to disguise his white fur did have some perks
- fast and quiet runner 

orientation: Bisexual
• preferences in a partner: most likely someone who can match his chaotic and loud energy, or someone who finds him endearing; can take a joke and play off of it; soft, warm fur for him to curl up against; less importantly, can put up with his sister/has his sister's approval
• availability: single, but very focused on his sister and her mental health at the moment- he won't be the one to make a first move because it isn't his priority

theme songs: 
- Cavetown- Boys Will Be Bugs
- Mumford & Sons- Little Lion Man
- Porter Robinson- Fresh Static Snow

fun-facts:

- though it can be dangerous, he likes to hunt alone at night; he feels vindicated in bringing home prey, since it's hard for him during the day (that being said, he would never say no to company)
- he tests his speed by hunting giant water bugs
- he sleeps towards the middle of the warriors' den for warmth due to his missing undercoat 
- these days, he spends a good portion of his time around the elders' den with Bentbeetle
- he feels extremely guilty that he wasn't able to save Bentbeetle's sight
- his voice is entirely too deep for his size



BACKGROUND-

before birth
(Mother) and (father) were both young and very unprepared for parenthood. (Father) wasn’t super thrilled to find out that the molly he'd had a fling with was pregnant, and he wasn’t very involved during most of the pregnancy. Their twin kittens' birth would be celebrated more by the medicine cats and other queens than by their parents. 

To make matters more stressful for (mother), (father) died right before their kits were born. CamasClan was forced into the war after lying about their water supply, and he went to fight immediately. His recklessness led to his demise, leaving his mate to give birth and deal with the aftermath alone.


kithood (0-6 moons)
It was a mix of sheer luck, coupled with the determination of CamasClan’s medicine cats, that Statickit made it through the critical first hours of his life. He was born sickly, small, and hardly moving. It wasn’t until he’d finally begun to nurse that his mother gave her son and his sister their names. The medicine cats were stumped initially as to what was wrong with Statickit. Once his pink eyes opened, however, the answer was obvious. The tiny albino kit was kept on strict nursery confinement for a majority of his kithood. His mother did this under the guise of protecting him, but really the molly didn’t know how to handle a kit so easily injured. 

apprenticeship (6-12 moons)
Apprenticeship was long and laborious for Staticpaw. His restrictions during kithood proved problematic once he was forced to spar and hunt with other cats. Being as small and skinny as he was made it hard for him to progress, much to his mentor Rattletail's distress. If it weren’t for his sister Bentpaw taking extra time to help him train, his warrior ceremony would have been delayed for many moons (if it ever came at all). It was during these nighttime training sessions with Bentpaw that Staticpaw realized how he could make himself useful. His albino coat makes it hard for him to be active when the sun is out; however, he faces no such challenges under the cover of darkness. By the time he was made a warrior, he had bulked up significantly, as well as established himself as a nighttime camp guard.

Through the entirety of his kithood and apprenticeship, Staticpaw wasn’t close with his mother. She was never prepared to have kittens in the first place, let alone a sickly albino kit. Her discomfort over having a kit so fragile drove her away from the nursery as soon as the kits could get on without her. Neither Bentpaw nor Staticpaw had much of a relationship with their mother, and Staticpaw never made the effort to get to know her. He doesn’t resent her, but he is irritated at how behind her ignorance put him in his warrior training. 


warrior life (12+ moons)
Newly-named Staticsnow’s early warriorhood was quite literally all fun and games. He and Bentbeetle were quick to tag-team other cats with their snappy comebacks and playful bullying. They spent as much time together as possible, with Bentbeetle even staying up some nights to keep Staticsnow company. The two were inseparable even in battle, in which they tagteamed many a GiliaClan warrior. Young Staticsnow was very proud to earn his first war scar: a shredded left ear. He felt very cocky and proud of his abilities after finally proving his might in battle. Though he's small and hails from a stereotypically nonviolent Clan, he held his own quite well during the tail-end of the war.

This cockiness and barely earned confidence ended abruptly when a hawk attack left Bentbeetle blinded, and Staticsnow badly injured for saving her from the bird of prey. Since then, Bentbeetle has retreated into herself, angry at a world cruel enough to blind her at only 25 moons old. She and Staticsnow are still very close, but their relationship is markedly different. They still spent a lot of time together (more now, since Bentbeetle doesn’t have to be up early in the morning), but their walks are quieter. There's a wall between them now that Staticsnow is very aware of.

Staticsnow is 30 moons old now, once again active in carrying out his nightly duties. His biggest goal is to help his sister adjust to being blind, now that they’re both healed from the hawk attack. She helped him adjust to his needs when they were young, and he fully intends to return the favor no matter what. He also feels immensely guilty for getting off pretty much scot-free, while his sister's entire life was changed by the hawk attack. Despite feeling guilty every time he sees her, he's chosen to bottle these feelings up.

4/28: Staticsnow has been adjusting well, getting back into his warrior duties in a timely matter. It has been mostly uneventful, and he was able to enjoy the Petal Parade in peace. However, while helping clean up Antelope Rock after the festivities, he was just barely too late to help stop a coyote from attacking the rest of the cleaning crew. Staticsnow happened upon the body of Kestrelpaw, the GiliaClan medicine cat apprentice, and had to bring the dire news to GiliaClan. It left him more rattled than he'll let on. Bentbeetle had company in the elders' den for several days afterward. A little while after, Staticsnow received his first apprentice: Finchpaw. Being a mentor makes him a little nervous, especially after seeing an apprentice die, but having a cat to playfully bully isn't SO bad. It would certainly make his nightly rounds less lonely. 




RELATIONSHIPS-
giliaclan

- n/a

camasclan
- Bentbeetle / @/kogasaur / His sister and closest friend. He spends as much time with her as he can. He doesn't say it often, but he loves her more than anything on the steppe. If it came down to it, he'd follow her to hell and back.

- (unnamed mother) / NPC / His mother, with whom he has almost no relationship. He has no desire to get to know her better.

- (unnamed father) (deceased) / NPC / His father. He didn't get to meet him before he died in a war skirmish just after CamasClan entered the war.

- Rattletail (deceased) / NPC / His former mentor. Despite the difficulties, they managed to adapt to each other's abilities and get along decently. He died during the New Beginnings dust storm. Staticsnow misses him from time to time, but they weren't particularly close.

- Cactusblossom / @/DeadThorn-Draws / A Clanmate and acquaintance. He likes trying to rile her up with his Static-ness. Despite his constant annoying behavior, he does respect her, and he enjoys her chattiness. 

- Finchpaw / @/beeqlass / His very first apprentice! Was it a good idea to give him one? Static isn't so sure. Either way, he's excited to have company on his nightly hunts.

ROLEPLAY-
sample:

*DISCLAIMER:* I MUCH prefer short, fast paragraphs for rps. Longer passages like this tend to tire me out quicker. I’m totally down to do a fully detailed rp, but my responses will be MUCH slower. 

Twinkletail looked around as they made their way toward the fresh-kill pile, eager to wake themselves up by bothering their Clanmates. Some days the mischievous creature that lived within them needed to come out and wreak havoc, and unfortunately for RootClan, today was one of those days. They did a double-take when they caught sight of a green eye peering at them from across the camp. Fallenwish quickly closed her eye again, earning a sigh from Twinkletail. Didn’t she know by now that *no one* was safe from their antics? Quickly they snatched a mouse from the fresh-kill pile and turned back around. 

“Hey there, Wishy!” Twinkletail trotted up to the sleeping form of their Clanmate. “Up late having a staring contest with the stars again? Have they blinked yet or are you still trying?” They purred softly with laughter, plopping down next to her and placing the mouse down at her muzzle.
