ATTITUDE

Positive | [ Intelligent | Quick Thinker | Patient ]

Intelligent | "having or showing intelligence of a high level"
Swampstar is far from stupid and makes it his mission to learn as much as he can about whatever he can.
Quick Thinker | "having an ability to react quickly and effectively"
Even when frustrated or upset he can keep his thoughts collected to react as calmly as possible.
Patient | "able to tolerate delays without anger”
Although unpunctual cats are far from his favorite, he has a tremendous amount of patience for most situations.

Neutral | [ Curious | Manipulative | Determined ]

Curious | "eager to learn or know something"
Swampstar is fascinated by things he doesn't know and enjoys learning what he can.
Manipulative | "having unscrupulous control of a person or situation"
He values the art of manipulation more then the art of combat, and would prefer to twist the minds of pawns to get what he wants rather then fight for it. He usually keeps a friendly air about him to manipulate the cats around him into trusting him more.
Determined | "displaying great resolve"
Once this tom gets something into his head, he will stop at nothing to achieve it by whatever means necessary.

Negative | [ Ruthless | Faithless | Aggressive ]

Ruthless | " showing no pity or compassion for others"
Although Swampstar is very good at feigning compassion, underneath his mask he cares for almost no cat other then himself. If he needs to punish one of his Clanmates, he will do so severely.
Faithless | "having a lack of faith in a group, person or religion"
This tom has very little faith in the world around him. He does not trust other cats and does not believe them to be 'good'. While he does acknowledge StarClan, he underestimates them greatly.
Aggressive | "showing violent tendencies"
He is a fearsome cat to cross and will not hesitate to use physical force. Tread carefully.

PAST

I | "Shadow Games"
   A pureblood ShadowClanner, he was a fairly average kit. Bright from a young age, he enjoyed the games and fun most kits partake in. He was much scrawnier then the other kits at the time, and was lanky and long legged. While not exactly innocent as a kit- he got into his fair share of mischief- he was pretty well liked amongst the Nursery. His mother was a kind she cat, if not a bit distant. She had never wanted kits, but at the very least seemed to like her only son and was a decent mother to him. Swampkit found more love in his aunt, who was much more motherly and adored the young kit. His father on the other paw was thrilled to have a son. He seemed to see Swampkit as a young version of himself, but time would prove that the two were far from alike. As Swampkit grew, he accepted and even embraced the distance his mother had from him. After all he hardly seemed to need her. He remained very much in good faith with his aunt, although it is hard to say that he saw her as a mother. His father ultimately amused him at this point; The brutish tom wasn't exactly the brightest and Swampkit enjoyed outsmarting and confusing the tom with games, pranks and big words.

II | "Growing Fast"
Like most kits, Swamppaw was thrilled to become an Apprentice and begin his training as a Warrior. He gave training his all and was pretty much a dream Apprentice to have. His training and growth spurts quickly rounded him out from his previously scrawny form. Although not initially talented in hunting or fighting, he quickly became determined to hone his skills and showed more growth then many of his peers. Punctuality and effort were his golden virtues, and for the longest time he never missed a training session even for sickness. His mother, however, was not so lucky. The she cat caught greencough halfway through his Apprenticeship and died. Although not particularly distraught, he did attend the burial and showed respect for the lost she cat moreso for his aunt's benefit then his own as she handled the death of her sister horribly. After his mother's death, Swamppaw's father became very interested in his son's training. He began to sit in on Swamppaw's training sessions and was very stern that his son should learn perfectly. His presence quickly began to annoy Swamppaw, and the stupidity of his father that had amused him in his youth began to annoy him. Greatly.

III | "Rainfall"
  Despite his father's annoying meddling, Swamppaw became Swamptalon a moon earlier then his other Apprentices. He was considered fairly talent and welcomed as a Warrior. He had no problem with the older Warriors, and fell into his niche with a few other Warriors that he found impressive. His father was proud and quickly began suffocating his son with attention. What some saw as a proud father, Swamptalon saw as an idiotic nuisance. For a few seasons he tolerated his father as much as he could and had a fairly normal Warriorhood. He spent his days patrolling and hunting, not showing much interest in any ambition. But as the rains began to fall in the old territory, his eyes fell upon the Deputy position. While he was certainly able and skilled, the Leader at the time was young and wasn't going anywhere anytime soon. Swamptalon, however, was patient. When the flooding began, he gladly left with the rest of his Clan. He considered the cats who stayed to be foolish and suicidal.

IV | "Great Loss"
Always the clever one, on the journey Swamptalon went out of his way to be as helpful as he could. Since the deputy had prefered to stay in the old territories, Swamptalon knew that it wouldn't be long before the leader would have to refill the position, but fate seemed to plot against him. The deputy caught up with them only two days of travel later, preaching that they had changed their mind. Bitter over the loss of the position, Swamptalon decided to take matters into his own paws. For days he spoke bitter words to his father, carefully expressing how if only the deputy was gone that Swamptalon would be future leader. His father was easily manipulated and a week into the journey got into a fight with the deputy. His father overpowered and killed the poor tom, but was not prepared for Swamptalon to turn on him. Under the pretense that he was defending the deputy, Swamptalon killed his own father. According to his plan, Swamptalon was made Deputy before moonhigh that night. Acting properly distraught and upset over his father's 'betrayal' he accepted the role with an open heart. He travelled at the Leader's side for the rest trip, enduring the hardship and travels with the same bitterness and hopelessness as the other cats. When they finally reached the new forest, he went out of his way to be the best Deputy he could. He helped the Leader establish borders, make dens, hunt and ultimately everything that was asked of him. The Leader died mere days after of sickness and Swampstar rose to power. To this day only he knows of his involvement in the deputy's demise.

V | "Pride and Punishment"
  Swampstar relished in his newfound power. Acting kind and compassionate to his Clanmates and respectful of the other Clans, it was several moons before his true nature was shown. Swampstar was perhaps the leader that was least effected by StarClan's absence, as his belief in the stars was so minimal to begin with. He kept his Clan calm as he could, assuring them that everything would be okay and that StarClan likely had big plans for them. He was prepared to deal with his panicked Clan, but he was not however prepared for his medicine cat to turn homicidal. He was as shocked as any cat when Opaleyes killed Goldenstar of ThunderClan, and his shock quickly turned to rage. He had spent most of his time as leader building a good relationship with the other Clans so that he might have every advantage he could and as far as he was concerned Opaleyes had just ruined all of that. He bore no hesitations in killing her. Now it seems that the warm and cuddly façade he kept up for his entire life has fallen away, and the brutal cat underneath is now the one in charge of ShadowClan.

Summary |
   Growing up with a suffocating father and an uninterested mother, Swampstar went well out of his way to gain positions of power. However when these positions became out of his reach, he did a little tweaking to make sure that it was he who would become ShadowClan's next leader. He kept a façade of kindness and compassion until his medicine cat killed the ThunderClan leader. Enraged by her meddling in what he considered to be his affairs, Swampstar killed her with no hesitation or remorse.
