➸ A P P E A R A N C E  

Brief Description - A dark tom with tufted ears, a pinkish-brown nose, and lighter patches on his muzzle, chest, and stomach, Ryewisp looks much like a plume of smoke. His facial markings are subtle and dark, contrasting sharply with his pale golden eyes, which are stunningly bright against the evening of his pelt. Gray liner surrounds both top and bottom of his eyes, emphasizing them further against his face. With short fur, he doesn't do as well in the cold, although it is extremely well cared for and low-maintenance; it seems to be naturally soft and has a beautiful shimmer to it in the light. Like many of the cats he is mixed with, a lot of strength lies in his ability to charge forward and kick off with his hind legs, having superb leaping abilities, and most of his muscle is focused in his haunch area. On his back left leg he has a set of scars from an encounter with a rogue cat, but otherwise his pelt is unbroken.

Body Structure - Smaller than the average tom without being petite, Ryewisp is a light-boned cat whose strength lies in lean muscles and sure-footing. He has large tufted ears like many Chausies, and a stockier figure like many Burmese. With a long, slender tail and a curved nose, he certainly bears the elegance of the Abyssinian and Havana in his blood as well. Slightly underweight but otherwise proportionate, he's just a pretty average cat.

Breed - Chausie x Havana Brown x Abyssinian x Burmese

➸ B E H A V I O R S 

Personality Desc. - Like many of the cats that make up his genetic background, Ryewisp is a social butterfly, he loves to be around others, talking, snuggling, playing, touching, or even just listening to them. He's got insatiable curiosity and will often rapid-fire questions, which may make it seem like there is no possible way that he's actually paying your answers any mind, but he does all he can to remember them so that he can learn more about you. Playing tag or engaging in a wrestling match always piques his interest, and he often acts like a kit and seeks out younger cats who don't mind his boundless energy. Exceedingly affectionate, he sees nothing wrong with rolling around sharing nests and snuggling or grooming anyone in camp, it's just how he is, it doesn't have some 'romantic' meaning to him. Athletic, energetic, flexible, and always trying to please others, he sometimes finds himself wandering far from home and forgetting his way home. It's not uncommon to see him sitting out at a border having forgotten what direction leads back to camp. Devoted to his Clan and to anyone who makes their way into his heart, Ryewisp can nevertheless sometimes be rather blunt. He just doesn't seem to have a filter for what comes out of his maw, and often honesty isn't the best policy, but honesty is what you get from him. Whether it's commenting on how good someone looks, or on how StarClan really sent in some bad weather and don't they have better ideas than making it rain for five weeks, Ryewisp's commentary can often be a source of amusement if one understands there's no evil intent behind it, merely a kit rattling off whatever flits through their mind.

Positive Traits - Positive nature, playful, amazing at tracking scents/remembering scents, friendly and supportive
Neutral Traits - Extremely honest/no filter, easy to see what he's feeling/thinking
Negative Traits - Bad location memory, weak immune system, easily distracted, bad at reading expressions/signals

Strength - Speed (he's quick and flexible), Strength (he can actually pack quite a good hit), staying positive
Weakness -  Defense (he's not exactly petite but he's light and goes flying easily), Intelligence (not the brightest bulb at strategy when it comes to battle), weaker immune system

Fear - Rogues (after what they did to him he's flighty around them), Scaring his parents (he knows how much his survival means and the last thing he wants to do is cause them to worry if he can help it)

Likes - water (avid swimmer), snow (thinks it's fun), wrestling, playing, chatting, snuggling, being around other cats, wandering, daydreaming
Dislikes - having the spotlight put on him (despite being focused on as a kit he really prefers to focus on others), being in charge (worries incessantly when needing to make decisions), cats who take things for granted, parents who don't care for their kits (you should support your kit and their dreams!)

➸ S E X U A L I T Y

➸ B A C K S T O R Y

Early Weeks
Badgerstrike and Lotus-sigh were two devoted warriors of CreekClan who were eager to have kits of their own, they'd trained apprentices, fought in battles, negotiated with border patrols, and were eager to enter perhaps the biggest of any of those challenges-parenthood. Badgerstrike, a handsome tom, was just as devoted as his mate to the idea, and when she entered kitting he was right at her side, coaxing her through it, but each time was devastating, resulting in miscarriages, still-borns...and kits who died prematurely. They were going to give up when she found herself with kits one last time, and his quiet, stead-fast encouragement was all that the dainty queen needed to try to stay positive. When the kits were born, three small bundles, they named each despite a gnawing knowledge that they may not survive...In the end, only one fought through, Ryekit never got to really know Nipkit or Erminekit, only hearing about them through his parents prayers to StarClan to them and the other siblings he might have had.

Kithood
Both warriors were devoted to helping Ryekit survive, and from a young age he had their full attention. The moment blue eyes opened, and dark paws stretched they were there trying to feed him, comfort him, determined that their son would live through the harsh seasons ahead. Although a bit sickly as a kit, he overcame it and adored having the attention of his parents. He would race around the nursery with his big, tufted ears swiveling about, in attempts to 'attack' his dad or mom and get them to wrestle. Having no siblings to play with, he would often be entertained by older cats, and thus carries with him this concept of playing with everyone well into his warrior moons. Despite being an energetic youngster, he was never much of a troublemaker...except for the fact he didn't seem to have a filter. His blunt honesty was apologized for on many an occasion by Badgerstrike and Lotus-sigh, who tried to curb his habit as well as tie down his wandering paws with fun games.

Apprenticeship
When Ryekit was finally of age to become Ryepaw, he was given to a seasoned warrior known as Hawksong. She was a vibrant individual, someone who answered his endless questions with great patience, knew just how to run him ragged without causing him pain, just enough work to wear him out so that he wasn't left with energy when they returned to camp. In turn, he devoted himself to her, giving his full attention to her lessons and to each task at hand. However, this didn't mean he had no faults in his training, as his wandering paws took him further and further around the territory, and it became clear that he had no idea where he was going, or even how to get home. Figuring out that he had issues with location memory, Hawksong tried to teach him scent tracking instead, promising that no matter where he was, if he could recognize scents he could use them to find his way back. With all this training, Ryepaw became superb at recognizing and cataloging scents. His attentiveness had him passing his warrior assessment with flying colors, and he was finally able to wander around without a cat tagging along after him, he had become Ryewisp.

Warriorhood
Ryewisp is still a younger warrior, he hasn't seen any battles, but he did get into a spat with a rogue at one point with Hawksong. His previous mentor had stumbled upon the fierce outsider and rushed headlong into battle. Coming in to support her, his hind leg was caught by the talons of the other feline, and he has been left with the pale scars along the fur there. It set him back a bit, severing a tendon, but he has since gotten well over it. Occasionally when the weather is very cold it aches a bit, but nothing that seems to bother him. He still wanders, gets lost even on familiar territory, and speaks his mind without thinking of the consequences, not that he ever means to hurt others with his words. Without any real ambition, he doesn't desire a high-ranking position or even to be one of the strongest warriors. His weak immune system and his protective parents have kept him close to home, and he's happy to just be present in the world of CreekClan and do what he can around the Clan to help out.

CreekClan

// // Lostwhisper: "She's a really nice she-cat who's always hanging out with Hailcloud and Eelpaw like they're some kind of family. Although she's smiling a lot there's something sad inside her and I'm not really sure what it is. But she's so motherly and warm to everyone that she seems to just kind of brush the sad away, from herself and everyone. Congratulations on being deputy! If there's any cat who deserves it, it's her, she's so nice. She makes me feel useful, and whatever cat comes near her seems to leave feeling better. I don't know if she's magic or just super nice, or both, but I really like her company and trust her to lead the Clan. I hope that she can talk to Sheepstar and help us all through this famine. And we'll stand beside her, she doesn't have to do this alone."

// // // // Eveningstorm: "He tolerates my energy really well and is really interesting! I've never seen a tail like his before and sometimes I get super entranced by it. He's got his own issues but always reaches out to others, basically mostly Braveheart, but if they're happy snuggling then they should snuggle all the time! He saved me from the river, he kept me warm, he talked to me about leaving he just...I...I would miss him. I would miss him every day he was gone. He is such a unique cat, such a handsome cat. To be allowed in his presence, to be spoken to like I am something special, to be made to feel useful, appreciated...these things cause me to...to draw close to him like a moth to a light. I am drawn in by his presence, I know in an instant I would do anything he asked of me...I twinge when I see him sad or unhappy, and although I know that those emotions are normal, I do so wish for him to smile, perhaps because I wish for him every happiness, but perhaps out of a horribly selfish desire to see that handsome expression upon his face..."

// Braveheart: "I don't really know that much about him, but he's a big fluffy cat and he keeps Eveningstorm warm. I think he and Jaypaw had something going on but I don't really pay much attention to that stuff. Whatever, if he's being Eveningstorm's snuggle buddy then they can keep each other warm and don't need to worry about anyone else! We've gone out hunting together now and it's obvious he's extremely skilled, but I don't think he likes me talking too much. I sometimes feel like I need to be a different cat around him, like I can't really fully be myself. And there's nothing really WRONG with that, per se, I mean, I want to make him comfortable after all...it just is...a little tiring I suppose. Nevertheless, he's a good guy I'm sure, and he and Eveningstorm aren't mates? I totally thought they were the way they're always all over each other! Anyways, I'm glad he's in our Clan and I hope that I get to learn more about him as time goes on."

// Foxfang: "She carries so much anger in her heart and doesn't listen to the opinions of others...I thought perhaps...we could speak, perhaps I could be of some service, but it seems all I did was make things worse...she threw a frozen mouse at my face and it hurt...I'm so scared of her, of her violent temper and of saying something to set her off again... She apologized and I forgave her, I kind of would like to get to know her better, she seems really...fragile. Temperamental but hurting inside, and maybe that's why she lashes out...maybe I could help her laugh a little!"

// // Chervilcloud: "He's really fun! We played around a lot in the snow, didn't need too many words either, we just seemed to get each other, playing tag, rolling around...he's a really really sweet cat... We hung out even more! Whether we're playing or talking, he is not only kind but intelligent. He has this amazing laugh and is always willing to help others. I am in awe of his warm heart and his soft laughter, and I hope that he understands that he is truly one in a million, and that all those who know him are better for having him in their lives~ He has seemed a little down lately, but he always perks up when he's training Fawnpaw, he's a great mentor to her, I'm so glad they got paired up! Hopefully this famine and leaf-bare will end so that his smile can shine once more!"

// Fawnpaw: "This is Chervilcloud's apprentice! She's super talented and smart and it's amazing to see her hunt. Really, even in this time of famine she just diligently goes for it, and she's so skilled too!? She could honestly teach ME a thing or two! She's fun to hang out with and I hope that I get to see her again~ She'll truly make a wonderful warrior."

// Crabcall: "The snow master! He can be a little cranky, but can't we all? He knows more about tunneling and sneak attacks than I ever thought possible to know, and he's so willing to tolerate me. I like to try to make him smile, and I secretly think that maybe his name should be Brightsmile because when he smiles he lights up everything! I hope that I can get to know him more, he seems like a really interesting cat!"

// Weaseltuft: "He's been treating me since I was a kit, I think he's fairly used to me being around the medicine cat den now, and I like being there. He's like another father, or an uncle, or something. To the whole Clan really, well except Willowmist I mean, that would be weird. But to her kits he is. Am I making sense? Point is, he's good at what he does, he's a great tom, and I really trust him with my life and the lives of everyone in the Clan."

// // Willowmist: "My snow queen! She is this beautiful, strong yet delicate she-cat who has suffered so much yet grown so much because of it. She has come so very far in her life, and is a huge inspiration. Not only is she a mother, but she's a fighter, she's a believer, and she's a great listener. Even if she did really try to imply that Eveningstorm and I are a thing...aha...ha...as if. He's got lots of other cats, I'm just a speck! But I suspect SHE has something with Weaseltuft, and I support them. Even if it's breaking the code, I think that love...can surpass that...especially if it's between such deserving cats. Really, I'll do what I can to keep them both safe."

// Thrushpaw: "She's so full of energy! And...temperamental a bit like Foxfang...but don't tell her I said that, she might grow a bit peeved with me haha. Anyways, she's definitely got her own ideals and is determined to lead the Clan? Definitely full of fire, this one!"

// Eelpaw: "Lostwhisper's son I think? He and Thrushpaw hang out a lot, and he suffered in the battle with the Shadows...I accidentally spooked him and I felt bad, really bad...the fact that such a young cat had to be so hurt, it's infuriating really. Unfair. He didn't deserve any of that pain, and now he's suffering famine too. Yet he's a bright lad, really he is, and I believe he'll make a wonderful warrior...as long as he can keep looking for the positive in things!"

// // Laurelwhisker: "She's really really cool I mean, she's really pretty too, I like her colors, I like the contrast of our colors, it's really pleasing, but also the fact that talking for her is like this physical commitment. It's like a dance almost? It's something ethereal and beautiful and I love learning it. It gives me a way to talk but also move, and it's really really interesting to me, like riveting, fascinating, I have to use my brain and I learn everything I can from her so I can talk to her and hear her talk. She has a beautiful way of talking and it deserves admiration and respect, just like she does!"

ArchClan

Snowlily: "I think she was that apprentice's mentor? She was so maternal and didn't yell at me for crossing the border to help him which was really nice. I hope I get to see her again, it would be nice to have a friend in ArchClan!"

Frostpaw: "This ArchClan apprentice fell out of a tree at the border and scared me half to death when I was there with Eveningstorm! I tried to help him but he didn't seem too keen on it, I hope I didn't hurt his feelings and I really hope that he's feeling better now..."

"You are worth just as much without me as you are with me. If your path departs from mine you will be worth just as much as the first day you arrived on this earth, if not more," he whispered, staring at him, "We all grow and change and falter and strengthen all based on our experiences and those we meet. I am just another experience on the way to finding oneself, and if I provide any assistance, warmth, light, or love on one's route, then I am at peace with that," he whispered with a far away look in his gaze, "As long as I can bring light and hope, then all I need is to keep shining. Like the stars above us..." his gaze flickered up to the parting in the clouds, the twinkling stars like giant snowflakes above them, "They say, that StarClan, is where good cats go when they pass away...that they walk with our ancestors and look down upon us. They say they watch over us, guide us, sometimes even speak to us..."

"If I can just shine as bright as they do, then perhaps I too, can watch and protect, perhaps I can guide someone to the right path. I do not believe myself to have a great destiny like many favored by the stars, but I do look up to them, and I do believe in them, and I can hope that they will look down upon me and believe in me too."

"I have asked that they look down upon you as well, Gale...I may not know all of them, but my mother is among them. Her name is Sweetnose...I especially asked her to guide you, and the others that you care for. I know it sounds silly but..." he shrugged shyly, "I felt better, believing that the stars were there for you as well as me."

"Hopefully, my path will lead to StarClan someday..."

His azure gaze shimmered as though his eyes had already captured galaxies of stars, as it flickered over to Gale's amber ones and a smile graced his maw, "Then I can truly shine, and I can continue to watch those I love and help them however I can. I'll be sure, that if I end up there before you, that I will shine bright for you, Gale."

His blue eyes flickered over to the tom, realizing he'd rambled, and a sheepish smile graced his maw before their muzzles brushed, and his heart stuttered. Dark ears flickering, he realized that this was his second ever...interaction like this...and at the border, Eveningstorm had not been like this in the least. "Whatever...I say..." he breathed out, as though transported to a hazy warmth by the male's touch.

SALUTATIONS!

As you are probably aware, ITR is approaching a hiatus that will begin May 1st! Over this hiatus there will be no activity checks BUT we will still require active responses to various journals that will be posted! Failure to respond will result in a note from the admin team. In the meantime, we are going through who wishes to remain in the group. As there have been several characters that have not been active nor responsive, we want to be sure that people are actually still interested.

THEREFORE, this message is to determine several things, so please answer these questions as thoroughly as you can!

1. Will you be remaining active with this character in ITR? That means being ACTIVE in the Skype chats (the roleplays, not main chat), and completing activity checks.

2. If you are no longer interested in this character, will you be killing them off? Switching them? Or are you leaving the group entirely?

3. If you are leaving, could you tell us WHY?

4. If you are staying with us, do you have any questions/suggestions for the team? Thank you!

REMEMBER
-Cats can be killed freely until May 1st; you need to roleplay their death and draw or write a piece for it
-This is a Skype-Based roleplay group, to not participate in the Skype chats essentially means you are not participating in the group!
-Hiatus begins May 1st, and will last for at LEAST the full month of May, if not longer

If you have questions then please note the group, not individual admins.
If you note an individual admin, they will just ask you to note the group.

If you do not reply to this message by MAY 1st it will be assumed you are no longer active, you will have your character removed from the group, and you can reapply in the future.
