NAME TRANSITIONS
Crowkit - It is tradition for the mother to name her kit after what she had dreamt about the night before her birthing. Crow's mother dreamt of a great crow flying across the starry sky, the stars gleaming bright as the crow shot over her head and glided with grace. Upon landing, the crow was bitter and snapped at the mother, pecking at her eyes. This signaled that he would one day be a leader (the starry sky that the crow glided through) and his grace, how others expect him to be a grand tom with great intentions but should one get a little too close, Crow is acrid and bitter as ever.
Crowpaw - Ah, apprenticehood, when Crow slowly dwindled into his rather impassive self.
Crowfrost - Named because of his frosted eyes and his dark pelt, he also shockingly was elected deputy after the strange disappearance of LichenClan's old deputy, mainly because of his complete and utter obedience.
Crowstar - When his leader passed due to a strange and unheard of sickness, Crowstar became the leader of LichenClan, not-so-proudly holding the title. He was only deputy for three moons, the death of his leader being a complete and utter shock.
GENERAL INFORMATION
THEME SONG: The Pretender by Foo Fighters www.youtube.com/watch?v=-NBHS3FtQ20
VOICE ACTOR: Zuko from The Last Airbender. www.youtube.com/watch?v=KBRU2VkUeh4
Gender - Identifies as and is the gender of a tom.
Age - Currently 4 and a half years old.
Rank - Clearly the leader of LichenClan.
Belief - StarClan.
Skills - Like all of his clan, he is a strong climber, born for the deepest forest and the jungle. His sense of smell and hearing is acute, being able to pick up strange scents and hear the crackling of leaves a mile away. Wouldn't recommend sneaking up on him.~
Weaknesses - His main weakness is his poor eye sight. Because of having very, very many breeds mixed in him, Crowstar's eyes are for the most part frosty blue, but also have fragments of other colors. He can't see things more then 5 feet away from his face, otherwise it's just blurred, black shadows. Anything else must be very close to him in order for him to see them clearly, and he also can't see very well at night.
What he lacks in eye sight he makes up for in acute sense of hearing and smelling, and being able to feel pawsteps on the ground nearby.
Likes - Hunting adders and hawks, proving himself, and despite his bitter personality.
Dislikes - Owls, strays, loners, rogues, being out in the open, swimming, and kits.
Habits - Crow has a tendency to wander on his own, think too much, not sleep, and be incredibly curious despite himself.
TRAITS / PERSONALITY
Big, major traits:
Impassive - "I don't see any reason to talk to you, so please, leave me be."
Known to be this the most out of any other trait, Crowstar tends to keep to himself and be disinterested with the world. He's often quiet, only speaking unless with close allies or giving out orders.
Acrid - "You're nothing more than a dreaded halfwit to me. Now, get out of my sight."
To those who have not gotten to know him or those who get on his bad side, Crowstar is very bitter and acrid to those he comes across. Despite being a fair leader, many question him because of his silver-tongue that he can't seem to get a hold of when angered.
Tenacious - "If it means saving her, I'll swim ten thousand fox lengths to do so."
A courageous male, regardless of his acrid personality and acting as if he hates everything around him, he would put his life on the line even for a kit he hardly knows. He's brave, and his tenacious trait that makes him feel the need to do anything and everything to keep his clan safe is what makes him a good leader.
Confident - "I've got strong legs and a sleek pelt, point me to any oak in the forest and I'll get to the very top."
One may have never guessed, but even as a kit, Crow has been set on making sure everyone knows his level of skill. He is a cat full of pride, who would be absolutely infuriated if any cat did any sort of thing to damage it. He is proud of himself, even with his past, he can be egotistical and competitive because of his high level of confidence.
Smaller traits (don't usually show, but are there):
Flirtatious - "Hey there darling. I don't need the sun when I've got you to light my day up."
What? Crowstar? A FLIRT? Unbelievable, yes, but Crowstar is highly attracted to intelligent and skilled females who can handle themselves. Even though he is very subtle about it, he tends to try and hint his interest at she cats he takes interest in.
However, he doesn't intend to bring his flirting too far, for he still is a cynical about love.
(More to come when I think of some) Crow has a mate now, and she'd break his spine if he tried to flirt any more.
Caring - "Are you okay? Is there anything I can do to help?"
Crowstar knows when to show that he cares. Another trait that makes him a fair leader is his caring for those in need, and his constant want to be there for the clan mates that need him. Impassive and acrid he may be, Crowstar will always care for his clan mates as long as they allow him too.
In short, Crowstar may appear emotionless and impassive, but if he chooses to open himself up, he can be gallant and selfless.
HISTORY
Crowstar was born to a selfless and beautiful she cat named Wildflower, and a lone, cheating tom named Owlmask who left his mother as soon as he got word she was pregnant. Crow was raised with three other siblings, who, when they were strong enough, they were taken away from he and his mother by Owlmask. What Crow was surprised about and still remembers to this day is why his mother had no care for her kits being taken away, and why she chose to keep Crow.
Crow and his mother ventured for a long time across many lands. The young tom had seen the world and loved his mother dearly. She'd teach him herbs, hunting, and things of the like. She'd sing him to sleep, and hold him close when he had a night mare. Crow had wished each and every night to the stars that he could remain young forever, held close by his mother.
But he couldn't.
They had met up with LichenClan about a quarter way through Crow's apprenticehood. He was granted a mentor named Cindereye, who he trusted and enjoyed training with. Crow was known as one of the happier apprentices. He loved life, he loved his mother, he loved hunting, he loved everything... until his mentor had gone crazed.
The night before his warrior ceremony, Cindereye tried to kill Crowpaw by forcing him into a bear trap.. in reaction, Crow pushed his mentor in, causing him to lose his tail. The next morning, the male tom was found dead from shock and blood loss...
Crowpaw tried to go to his mother and seek comfort, but for the life of him he could not find her. Had she gone to hunt? She wasn't in the hunting grounds. Was she helping the queens? No, she wasn't there either... in fact, her scent was hardly even there, signaling she had left - or rather, disappeared- in the midst of night.
His mentor dead and mother missing, Crow shut everyone out from the world. Even at his warrior ceremony, his cold gaze fixed on his paws and he remained silent, aside from muttering a simple "I do."
He did eventually open up a tad more, but ever since that day, Crow hasn't been as happy as he used to.

Respects
Crushing on
Heart pounding with love.
Wolfstar : "You're a coward and Heathermist was a fool to believe you were the leader."
Wilteflower : "I can't change anything. I love Dustyrose. But you were one of my first friends, and you were my first apprentice."
Pigeonwatcher : "Thanks for serving LichenClan as long as you did... you're still iffy to me."
Acornpaw : "Everything happened so fast, too fast. I would have put myself in front of the tree if only I had been more quick... I'm very sorry... I hope, despite your skepticism, you find a place within StarClan.."
Sandferret : "I wish you could have stayed the deputy for moons and moons to come..."
Cloudstar : "For a long time I disliked you. But now with that immature brat as leader, I want you back to lead BoulderClan more then ever. Please visit Mudstar. Knock some sense into the kit..."
Wren : "You seem to speak your mind... perhaps a little too much? You're a fair warrior otherwise."
Dustyrose: "I'm glad to have you by my side, I love you dearest."
Nettleberry : "I'm pleased to hear that you're dead. I hope the Dark Forest tortures you for eternity, never to reincarnate."
Featherfrost : "Clan born and raised in LichenClan, I've watched you grow. Sandferret was indeed a great deputy, and having trained under her, I'm sure you will too. Good luck in your position. I'm sure during these times you will need it."
Silversong : "The new medicine cat, yes? Good luck with it, I hope you do better then Pigeon."
Jaggedpaw : "I'd like to say that I dislike you for your foolish pranks, but sometimes I think it's your way of coping with your uh.. family problems. I think you'll be a good warrior."
Tinypaw : "I oughtta take your creepy skull and crack it over your head.. in fact, I might just do that. I'm just being getting started here, you know... keep up that attitude, and you'll have much more to worry about. I promise."
Shiverstar : Shiverstar"... star? STAR? Leader, my tail. I have so much to say about you. You do not deserve the title of leader. You are callow and weak minded, and you try to act as if you're innocent or doing this for a cause. But you're not, and it's a terrible cause at that, and soon enough, you'll be hurting us if you keep this up. I hope, so that I don't have to kill you, you get out of the darkness."
