TSC: Rockyroad - The Claws

;:General:;

Name: Rockyroad {Rocky}
Gender: Tom
Age: 28 Moons
Breed: Norwegian Forest Cat
Clan: Rogue/The Claws
Rank: N/A
Book Description: A silver tabby tom with a white underside and forest green eyes.

;:Appearance:;

Eyes: Deep, forest green
Pelt Color/Pattern: His base, main color is a soft off-white sort of color. It covers most of his form except for his forehead and backsides. On his forehead, is a stripe of light grey that stretches down to his tail, stopping about half-way. Along this grey stripe, a series of smaller, thinner tabby-like stripes of a darker grey cover the grey, though never passing onto the white. He also has a small tuff of grey fur that has grown on his chin, giving him a sort of goatee appreance.
Pelt Texture: As it is bred into his breed, his coat is very thick, perfect for those cold, snowy moons of Leaf Bare. He is hardly ever left cold on such days, but it becomes an issue during the Green Leaf moons as he tends to get overheated quite often. His fur is also very soft and rather fluffy. He looks rather large because of this, but as a large cat once said to him, 'It's no fat, it's fur. It makes me look poofy.' ((Bonus points for anyone who gets the reference.))
Build: Although he looks rather large and a bit on the heavy side, Rockyroad is actually a very firm, strong tom. The fur simply gives him the illusion of being a fat kittypet. Had his coat been shaved off, though, one would be able to see the strong, fit form that hides beneath it.

;: Personality:;

{(Curious)}

"Ooooh, whatchya got there?" - Rockyroad has always had a huge sense of curiosity. He was always looking for new things or trying to figure out how things worked. He also likes to know things about others that others may not be aware of. Of course, he can sometimes be seen as too invasive because of this, though that isn't his intentions at all.

{(Submissive)}

"I-I'm sorry. I-I-I'll do whatever you want, ma'am. I swear..." - Because of the rather harsh nature of his father, Rocky has grown to become a very submissive tom. He has very little of a backbone to hold him up during conflicts with those he knows, but, luckily for him, it doesn't translate over when he is fighting against possible threats.

{(Kind-Hearted)}

"What? No, of course not! You've always been beautiful." - This tom hates seeing others doubt or think little of themselves. He is always working to make them see the beauty they hold and will never judge another by appearance or actions.

{(Loyal)}

"If you want her, then you'll have to go through me." - No matter who it is, once he has built up a somewhat sturdy relationship with someone he is bound to serve and protect them. He will never leave the side of those he loves and cares for and will rather have his life end if it means the others will survive.

{(Self-Conscious)}

"Oh, gods, look at me. I look so stupid..." - Another trait that has sprouted from the treatment from his father. After being constantly judged and criticized for his appearance or behavior, Rockyroad is now constantly worried about how he comes across to others no matter who they may be. He has little to no positive thoughts towards himself as his father has forced the idea that he is nothing more than a spineless vole into his mind.

;:History:;

Kithood:; Rockyroad was born to a rather interesting family. His father was a show cat and his mother was a breeder's perfect specimen. He was the last kit born in his litter, something that hadn't quite settled well with his father in the beginning, but he was more than thrilled to have a son. He expected great things from him as his age was gradually getting to him and arriving in Cat Shows was becoming something of a difficult task for him, especially when his hip dysplasia began to grow predominant. His No-Furs needed a new show cat and with the arrival of this strong new tom, both his father's and No-Fur's hopes were set to a high level. But, the young tom had rather different ideas. After his eyes and ears opened, Rockyroad was always the one who wanted to play instead of listening to his father's lectures. Rupert didn't say anything or force him to remain with him during his first few weeks, but once the silver tom reached the age of a moon, the large tom put his paw down. He began to isolate Rockyroad from his sisters, refusing to let him play as he began to train him and push him into a winning mindset. But, the kit was anything but competitive and had no desire to participate in such an event. He never spoke these words to his father, though, fearing his wrath. So, he did all that he could to fulfill his father's dream.

As the moons went by, though, the constant scolding from his father and strict rules enforced upon him slowly began to break him down. At night he would curl up beside his sister, Snow, crying himself to sleep almost every night. His No-Furs offered him no relief. When his father wasn't working him, the No-Furs spent day after day trying to get him to hold the proper pose and stance required in a Cat Showing. He was constantly examined and rated by a number of different breeds to determine if he was the best of the best, and to his misfortune, he was. He had the perfect form, perfect coat, everything that made the Norwegian Forest Cat special. As he grew older, the training never seemed to stop and the need to please his father and No-Furs slowly became a part of who he was.

Young Adult:; After moons of working, Rockyroad was put to the final test. His father had become the sole commander of his life, being the one who was always keeping him in line. As he got older, though, the silver tom began to notice a rather harsh change in his father. The tom he had once loved as a small kit had become a center of fear. If he ever stepped out of line the prideful tom would berate him and sometimes even physically lash out at him. It was something that forced him to cower beneath his father and any other cat that held power such as him. Bullied and forced into a lifestyle he hated, Rockyroad was eventually placed into his first Cat Show. It was a local showing with judges that held little true experience, but such a thing would help to push him to the national leagues. Now, Rockyroad had spent many days surrounded by No-Furs and poked and prodded at for observation, but when he was finally pulled out from his kennel and offered to the judges, something snapped. Rockyroad fell into a sort of panic and tried to flee. He caused a rather horrible mess. He was quickly brought home with angry, yowling No-Furs and an enraged father. The mental and physical beating he took that night was unlike he had ever experienced before. He had never been under the force of such anger and the silver tom hadn't the will to fight back. After that night, his father became sour and hateful towards him. Every passing began with a hiss and ended with a sharp nip at his shoulders or legs. The weeks that followed were painful but nothing could prepare him for what happened next.

Adult:; It was a few moons after his failed showing, something of a horrible embarrassment for his father and No-Furs. Only his sister, Snow, was determined to remain at his side and keep him company. No one knows how it was started, but during the night, a harsh, ear-splitting screech rang throughout the house and smoke filled the air. The den was burning, slowly crumbling as the fire ate away the wood. Rupert was out in a flash as was his mother and sisters, Princess and Quinn. But, Rocky and Snow had been left behind. It had been a terrifying night, but both he and his sister made it out before the den fell apart and crumpled to the ground. The two siblings held no desire to return to their No-Furs so they escaped together, running into a group of strays. It wasn't quite a family, but it was enough for the two who hadn't the slightest idea of how to survive on their own. But, imagine their shock when they discovered that Rupert had found the gathering of cats as well. And so, despite his attempts to flee his past, Rockyroad is left to live on with his cold, hateful father with only his sister there to patch him up.
