Description Edit: Finished setting up his info XD

Name: Tide of Shallow Pool
Nickname: Tide
Age: 12 years (Old kitty)
Gender: Male
Breed: American Tabby Mix.
Tribe: Loud Echoes
Rank: Trooper
Items / Accessories: None

Brief Personality: [Stubborn][Cold][Protective]

[Stubborn]: Tide is a stubborn Tom. Once he's got his mind set on something, it takes a lot to get him to change it. This trait also shows in his position, as he is a rather aged Trooper and should retire. But he stubbornly refuses, saying he can still work and doesn't want to rot away in a den getting fat when he could still be helping. However, his joints are starting to get to him and he might not be a Trooper for much longer.

[Cold]: Tide tends to like being alone. Being as old as he is, most of his childhood friends and family have passed on. He hates the arrogance of younger cats, but he will accept the company of younger cats that remind him of his past family and friends. It takes a lot of persistence to get close to this tom.

[Protective]: Even if Tide acts cold and isn't much of a talker, he will protect his Tribe-mates with his life. It may be his job to keep his Tribe safe, but it's also in his moral. Weather it's a cat who annoys him constantly or someone he's never even exchanged words with, he'll throw himself between them and danger in a bad situation. Not that he won't complain about it afterwards...

Brief History:

[Kit]: Tide was born into the Tribe of Loud Echoes with a litter of four. Unfortunately, the kits were born in the middle of winter, at which time the Tribe was suffering horribly from illness and starvation. Two of the kits died from the illness and the cold, leaving just Tide and his brother, Splash of Leaping Fish. The two survived the harsh winter and times started to get better with the spring. The illness started dying, and prey was plentiful. Tide had a tightly knit family, his mother, Wing of Quiet Dove, and his father, Sliver of Broken Shell, both took care of their kits and the two brothers grew up happy.

[Trainee]: As Trainees, Tide and Splash trained in separate paths. Tide chose to train to protect the ones he loved, chasing the path of a Trooper. Splash chose to be a Scribe, like Sliver. Tide didn't see his brother as much anymore, seeing how while he was out learning how to fight, Splash was learning how to write. Tide didn't mind though, he'd still get to see Splash during meals and they shared the stories of their trainings in the den at night.

[Adult]: Once he was made a Trooper and Splash was made a Scribe, the two saw each other less often. Tide had to stay at camp on guard duty, while Splash would travel with Trackers daily. As the years went on, Splash found a mate. She was a Traveler, who had made a home within the tribe territory. Instead of being evicted, Splash convinced her to join the tribe and within moons the two were expecting kits of their own. Tide was happy, and excited to meet his new kin. But that day never came. The illness struck the Tribe again and took Dove's life as well as that of Splash's mate. The family was stricken with grief, and one day Splash left. Tide thought he was going out on Scribe duties, but he didn't return that night. Or the next. Moons went by and the Tribe believed the tom to be dead, or had left to live as a Traveler. Tide couldn't be certain on which of these was correct, but he hoped that it was the latter and that wherever Splash was, he was happy.

Eventually, Tide found love too. Sliver was an Elder at this point, and Tide had fallen in love with a beautiful Huntress named Light Flakes of Snow. The two spent every waking moment together, and many expected kits after a few more years. But after a while, it became apparent that Snow was unable to conceive. But they were happy, not nothing could take that away from them, not even being sterile. But the happiness did end. It started with Sliver's passing, which wasn't too unhappy. The tom had been old, and his death was peaceful. But Snow's was sudden, and unexpected. Tide had been on Guard duty when a group of Hunters found her body. She was broken and mangled, wounds that appeared to be from a fox's jaws. Tide was horrified. His family was gone. Every single one of them. The tom shut himself away from his Tribe-mates to mourn, and has come off as being cold ever since.

But he wishes to move on, to be happy again. It's what they would have wanted.

Roleplay Example:

The sky was painted an array of soft colors as the sun dipped behind the rocky peaks that infested the Loud Echoes territory. A cool breeze slithered between the mountains, causing pine trees to hiss and quietly creak with the movement. The Tribe cats were starting to return to the camp, ready to settle down for sleep. A lone guard sat outside of the cave as the starts started appearing in the night sky, the pale moonlight glinting on his dark fur. The tabby's bright eyes glowed in the low light, giving him a broad and cold appearance among the stony atmosphere.

Extras:
-Tends to have trouble with his joints when it's cold outside or if he's over exercised himself the day before.
-For his age, his eyesight is brilliant. His hearing...not so much.
-Because of his long fur, he hates getting wet. It takes him forever to dry off again.

Seems like everyone's joining this group xD I'm scared to join more groups though because the more I'm in, the less active I'll become because I'll have to keep up in so many groups
