Name:: Banestar

Age:: 44 Moons

Clan:: Shadowclan

Rank:: Leader

Personality:: Consider yourself lucky if you become close to Banestar. Although he is pleasant enough to all the clan and loves a "friendly" chat with any cat, there are few cats who can say they are truly close to Banestar. There are only a few choice cats Banestar would trust his life with, and they, they are his best companions. Such as his deputy. Banestar would not be able to survive without the support of these choice allies. They are his advisor's and his sanctuary. He knows that they are always ready with strong advice, or a moment to just let him vent his problems, which doesn’t come very often.

As a leader, Banestar must come up with many solutions to many problems. The task can sometimes be a bit trying. He never regrets becoming Leader, but during times of extreme pressure, as anyone else would, can’t help but wish it was just a bit easier. However, even in the toughest time, he remains strong and tries not to let his own, personal problems influence his decisions as a Leader. He knows that his clan deserves only the best from him, and so he will not settle for anything less than his best.

Not only does he settle for nothing less than his own best, but he makes sure that his warriors always give one-hundred percent of themselves too. They trained and trained to become the best warrior, and so they might as well put those skills to good use. Otherwise, their mentor’s time was wasted, and Banestar absolutely detests wasting time. If someone slacks off and fails they are sure in for it. They will really get chewed up and spit out, and that is something you REALLY don’t want. You had really better not break any rules while he is mad. Normally, he is very understanding, and will give out fair punishment, like “Oh, so you ate some prey before feeding the clan, you can’t have fresh-kill tonight then.” But if you catch him on a bad day, his emotions might cloud his mind and make you give all of your fresh kill to the elders for a day.Banestar is a very normal cat. He has the occasional bad day where he just wakes up on the wrong side of the moss, but other than those, Banestar is always ready to share a good laugh with someone. He is incredibly light hearted, and doesn’t take anything too hard. Around other cats not from his clan Banestar is distant and somewhat arrogant.He has a quicker tongue around them and a smaller amount of patience.

Of course, that is only one side of Banestar. One personality. The other persona inside of him, carries the same name, but completely different morals and behaviors.

He is a harsh critic and does not accept anything but the very best. He is sarcastic to all but the ones he needs on his side, to whom he talks with a overly-smooth glib that is rather sickening to watch. Rather much like a politician, he is overly like able, but some cats smell a rat when they look at him. It's not like he makes any attempt to hide his ambition or arrogance.

Banestar is cunning and plans come easily to him.He's not afraid to put these plans into action.Risking lives?Who cares,they got in the way.Endangering himself?He's already dead so who cares.And he is always right.Ever if a battle plan goes awry he will just say it's the timing or the cats. Even around his clan-mates he is snappy and impatient,though a bit more kind.He hates error however and will not hesitate to strike out; physically and mentally.His eyes gain a fire then,a cold dead fire.His tone is harsh,somewhat insane.He is cruel ,malicious.He is a ruthless leader,unfearing of anything.

Appearance:: Banestar's eye's are a clear,piercing yellow that could stare deep into your soul.They are moonshaped at the bottom and flatten out at the top.His head is a soft edged triangle,fluffing out a bit along the sides. His body is of medium length, lithe, with well-developed muscles.Banestar's legs are slender in proportion to his body, with a fine bone structure. His paws are medium sized and oval. Bane has a fairly long tail, broad at the base and tapering to a point.While he gets a great deal of his characteristics from his Abyssinian half of the family, his pelt and ears are mostly Bombay.Banestar's pelt is black down to the roots,with a rare occasional white hair showing up.Which he usually pulls out,depending on his moon.His coat is short and close-lying, with a fine, satin - like texture, and patent leather sheen,however it is surprisingly thick.His ears are on the verge of being wide-set and are medium sized, broad at the base and pointy at the tips.

History:: His mother was a purebred Bombay and his father was supposed to be one as well.Supposed to be.It didn't turn out that way.Banes father instead was the leader of a rouge band who came upon Bane's mother one night and mated with her.At birth though,he was thought to be purebred and the best of his litter.This of course caused jealousy from his litter mates. The worst one of all was his sister, Timber.She taunted him mercilessly and often tried to fight him.His brothers,Ace and Sunset,were not much better. They ganged up on him often, trying to mar him.

So it was no real sadness when they were all sold to different people.Bane was sold to a girl and her family that lived a few miles away from the clans.He lived peacefully there for a little but the loyalty it required,he didn't have it.So he left for a city not far away.He took up residence in a abandoned building and lived a decent life there.Then he met Patchedmemory,a rouge cat.She had wandered too far away from her group,after a fit of anger and was lost.Bane took her in and they soon fell in love.They mated and lived peacefully together.Then,one day after he came back from hunting,she was gone. Blood stained the floor and signs of a fight were everywhere. Bane joined a rouge band to help deal with his troubles.He witnessed horrible things there but he convinced himself that it was just the way the world was. He joined in and became somewhat of a deputy to the leader.

During this time he seemed to be in a trance.It was broken one stormy night when the leader was about to murder a Russian blue she-cat,the same type of cat that Patchedmemory had been. He rebelled against the leader and took his life.

Horrified at what he had done,he left the city and went to forest,and ran into Shadowclan.Of course then he didn't know that is was Shadowclan,or that it was even a clan.He learned soon enough though.The medicine cat liked him and pretend that there was a sign that he should join the clan.Or at least he thought she pretended.The cats were hostile and one even started a fight with him,giving him the nasty limp and scar that he has today.But when trouble arose guess who saved the day?Banestar.Unfortunately the deputy was killed then and there was no one appropriate to take his place.So Banestar did.About 20 moons later the leader was killed by a monster,on the way back from a gathering.Banestar became leader.
