Name: Carkpaw
Rank: Apprentice
Age: About 8
Gender: Tom
Clan: EmberClan
Kin/Mate/Mentor/Apprentice: Lightpaw, unknown half-sister in BlazeClan. No crush yet, mentor unknown.
Pelt: For being so afraid of everything, Carkpaw rarely has a scratch on him. His long, light grey pelt is often fluffed up, but hardly tattered. The tom makes sure to keep himself very clean, for fear of any ticks or other nasty bugs making home in his fur. The length of his fur, though wonderful in leaf-bare, can become quite a trouble in the heat. Unbeknownst to him, this originates from his heritage in the freezing cold GlacierClan, where his father grew up. There is one white spot on his head, right behind the left ear, and lighter grey spots scattered everywhere. The lightest is right below his tail, and it forks off to travel down the right hindleg. There is one scar on his right foreleg from a fall he took as a kit, and it was that fall that showed him, along with many other things throughout his life, just how much trouble the world could be.
Eyes: Carkpaw's eyes are a light hazel, and oddly, glow red, rather than green when caught in the right light. They seem to be permanently glued wide open, and get huge when the tom goes off on one of his 'things could go HORRIBLE' rants.
Personality: Carkpaw has had the same basic thought process since he was old enough to understand danger; Everything could be dangerous, even when it came to eating prey, and he's made sure to let every cat he talks to know about it. The apprentice is a huge worrier, always fretting about everything that can, and probably will, go horribly wrong. There's a running joke with him that's travelled around the Clan; Any cat that knows him will often ask the tom, 'What's the worst that can happen?' Near every time, the next words out of his mouth would be 'The worst? Well, the way I see it...' A cat that doesn't know him may be a bit puzzled by the amusement in Carkpaw's eyes when he tells everyone exactly what can go wrong. It just happens to be something he's good at.
In the heat of battle, not much changes in the young cat's head, but he sometimes manages to push it back enough to help his Clanmates, though there is always a nagging about how badly things can go wrong. The rare times he's not worrying, Carkpaw can be a very social cat, though he often excuses himself from any adventures the other apprentices go on. He's easy to get close to. He loves talking, even if it turns out to be a bit morbid, and often seems to scare away other apprentices that don't know him well.
History: Carkpaw, though he grew up in the Clans, has his origins elsewhere. Though his mother was from the EmberClan area, his father came from a Clan that's all but unknown to everyone else. GlacierClan, which is located VERY far south from the fiery Clans, lies, as it states, on a Glacier. Sharpwhisker, the apprentice's father, grew up on the ice before realizing that is really wasn't for him. He left, wandering alone, trying to find a new place to settle down. Finally coming upon EmberClan, though he wasn't accepted, the tom made his home right outside the territory. The details are fuzzy, but one day Sharpwhisker showed up in the Clan with a tiny kit in his jaws. He begged the cats, if they wouldn't accept him, to at least accept his son. Carkpaw's grown up in EmberClan with another queen, assuming she's always been his mother. Though Sharpwhisker had left without a trace, he still tends to wander the area, constantly wondering if the small gray cat ever wonders about the identity of his father...
