BANE (SILVERBANE) || FTM MALE || 43 MOONS, SNOW MOON 2018 || RIVERCLAN WARRIOR || BISEXUAL, GREYROMANTIC
APPEARANCE BRIEF DESCRIPTION: a ragged and pale eyed silver tabby tom DETAILED DESCRIPTION: bane is nothing too extraordinary or special, really. while he is rather large, he fully resembles the features of an oriental longhair. of course, considering the mixed genetics of wild cats, it’s hard to be exact how pure he really is. long legs are accompanied by a slim build, obstructed only by thick clumps of fur running along his chest, belly, and front legs. his nose is long and blocky, housing just the slightest of a dish in its shape. two light blue eyes rest upon his face alongside a dark grey nose. light tones of grey stripes covers up the vast majority of silverbane’s fur, splotched to and fro with bits of a darker shade (most specifically on his backside, his legs and feet, bits of his tail and face, and a stripe arching around his neck). an even lighter silver traces along his chin and underbelly, traveling all the way down to his tail, and touching the hair within his ears. putting colors aside for now, bane’s fur is very thin and carries with it the appearance of silk. however, it’s a coat that has had no care of it, in return sporting patches of knots and tangles. from a distance, a shine can almost look beautiful; that is until realizing that it’s due to a lack of proper upkeep. and chances are, he may even have a couple fleas pestering him (he’s not somebody that you would not hope to get too touchy feely with). another topic at hand is scars; silverbane has got his fair share of them, tracing scores along his body from a lifetime of survival. some of the most notable spots are across his back from a bird of prey, along his tail and knicks upon his ear from battles since passed, and along the inside of his legs from a pesky battle lost to the whip of a branch underfoot. of course, there are more smaller ones, not at all too unpleasing to look at. that is, until one’s gaze is falling back down upon the bits of bald patches accompanied by a past battle with mange, since resolved, spotting around his nose, ears, and feet.

PERSONALITY BRIEF PERSONALITY: rude, aloof, straight-forward, pessimistic, and determined. DETAILED PERSONALITY: to put it quite bluntly, bane is rude. there’s no room for him to worry about how others are to react to the words he speaks. he is not going to eloquently phrase things and lie to make those around him like him, or to keep their feelings from being hurt. if bane is going to speak, he is going to share what's on his mind just the way that he thinks it. at times, there’s moments in which he is just going to be rude for no reason other than that’s the way that he likes to present himself: stoic and aloof. bane prefers to not find himself in any sort of intense social setting, including meetings, gatherings, and any sort of events regarding both his clanmates and neighboring clans; rather ironic considering the position he has found himself in by joining riverclan. sure, even though he can see the benefits and important nature living in a clan and being surrounded by these sorts of events; he finds little pleasure idling through trivial politics and exchanging forced and hardly-genuine pleasantries with strangers whom he would never think twice about before the sun makes its leave.
while he is…. not exactly an avid fan of them, silverbane is still an individual to acknowledge the presence and existence of starclan. however, due to obvious catastrophes growing up and his lifetime in solitude, he deems them to not be worthy of the respect expected to be given; he does not blindly follow and bend to the will of dead cats who are quite clearly incompetent of so much as offering their protection. of course, he has no qualms with those who choose to believe in them. that is their business, not his own. religion is not even a topic that he brings up unless prompted. however, he is not going to adapt his words, actions, or methods to appease the masses of the traditionalist faction of thunderclan should it cause issue.
should the need to do so arise, bane will go behind the back and against the will of others to ensure success (both for the betterment of his group or for his own personal reasons, though do note that he is not selfish enough to sacrifice the well being of many to indulge in his own gain) of a mission, even if it means ignoring direct advice or adversity from his clanmates. in addition, he avoids from making direct promises to others, and avoids the telling of certain truths in order to believably articulate a lie. he hates to be sworn by promise; especially one binding him to a cause deemed unworthy of his attention or care. while he does ultimately care for the safety and the well being of his clan, old bane is rather skeptical and is not one for idle banter and chatter. he has to be doing something; there is no 'relaxing' for him. to those around him, respect in his eyes is not given out lightly. though without a doubt, he will fight for thunderclan and do what he must to keep them, their borders, and their territory safe from whatever nature may bring.
blunt rudeness aside, it’s by no shock that bane is somebody who is not easy to get along with. he is one to harbor more grim views of life: death over life; pessimism over optimism; a belief of peace forged through the wake of conflict over peace written through words on paper. many of which are ideas that no doubt tend to rub some the wrong way… especially if its a constant topic rolling off his tongue. most of his life has been forged from death and combat, and it’s rather difficult to silence the harsh realities of fighting tooth and nail for a cause that almost feels impossible to achieve. this does not mean that he is a bloodthirsty creature bent on raiding his neighbors and causing conflict without reason--in fact, he desires for riverclan to be rather isolated from the rest of the growing clans, encouraging their faces to only be shown when needed (such as defense or the monthly gathering, whenever it shall occur)--it simply means that he will not hesitate to defend what is theirs through force.
having been the victim of a rather difficult upbringing, it would not be a lie to say that bane is not almost always thinking something along the lines of changing the past, or doing whatever it is that he can do to prepare for the future. to find some way to silence the brutal thoughts of vengeance and malice in his head with busy work, such as hunting, training, or fortification. it should be noted that he is not evil, nor is he cruel. in fact, he is quite typically very level headed despite heated conflict. those falling upon the receiving end of his temper are those of whom have ultimately earned it through provocation. but a soul born of hatred is fueled by hatred, and perhaps it’s these reasons that makes it difficult not just for others to approach him, but for him to see the goodness within someone else, and to reciprocate these feelings within himself. and even if someone were to dig deep enough into bane’s heart to uncover its sliver of affection, he is not one to express this through gooey, romantic pleasantries. he may soften his tone, but he will never learn not to be rude. he will never learn to express his affection through kind words or an action as simple as a kiss to the cheek. insults are shared, ‘endearing’ albeit the lightheartedness of them only be through intention. only to those of whom has earned his steadfast trust (though yet rarely) does he divulge in his more private thoughts, or suffer through a bout of public affection, to which he dubs humiliation.
tldr: stoic, rude, mean for no reason. feels he has no need for friends. hates social events. looks down upon religion himself, zealots etc. mostly keeps opinions to himself unless directly asked, in which will be rudely honest. not one to share plans unless needed, and will go behind someone’s back to ensure success. avoids making direct promises and avoids truths to work around lies. even if he likes you, he never learns to not be rude. treats those close to him with scorn and more lighthearted insults. more open to addressing feelings and divulge in more private thoughts. if he really believes you to be true to word and to wield a worthy cause, he will support you. though it is not a decision made lightly. more grim views; death over life. pessimism over optimism. peace through conflict over peace through words. thoughts that rub some the wrong way, to which he shrugs off. doesnt like to be alone with his thoughts, despite his hatred of social gatherings. keep himself busy and distracted through hard work, such as hunting or training.
HISTORY PARENTS: unlisted, deceased SIBLINGS: younger brother, deceased CHILDREN: n/a
BRIEF HISTORY: to be greatly determined over time, however it’s most notable that he was born to his parents alongside his younger brother of some lesser moons. eventually, his family was killed off (by what? i will figure that out in due time!), leaving him to raise himself for a few moons. eventually bumped into an older male who helped raise him for some moons, but the two of them tended to butt heads, and bane eventually seperated himself from him. eventually finds himself joining riverclan.
