Melanome - Loner

[~ Sasha]

Name: Melanome [Nome for short]
Age: 16 moons
Gender: Male
Desired Home: Loner
Desired Position: Loner
Appearance:

Melanome is a small tom with long, lanky legs and a thin structure. He is not very muscular and would rather run from a fight than start one [he often runs.] Despite this, his claws are long and sturdy. His teeth are sharp like tiny little knives, and he has a fierce bite to him. He is rather tall and long for his age, and he is even properly porportioned: with small gray paws and ears.

Nome has very nice gold eyes. His bright, nervous eyes seem to dim and darken with his anger, narrowing to thin slits. His fur, being very short, hardly pufs up at all, but his ears flatten right to his skull.

His fur is short and thick, more of a bristle-ly feeling than the average cat. There are many different hues of browns in it, from a lighter brown to almost black. There is no visible scarring on his frame, though there are a few tiny cuts and marks on his hind legs and tail.

Personality:

Melanome is a fairly grown-up cat for his age, and he takes decisions as very serious and thinks hard on them, if not slowly. He is a fairly kind cat, nice to be around for the most part, though one can be sure he is often faking his smile.

Melanome is a very intelligent cat, quick with words and not often regretting them. He is sly and secretive, and not afraid enough to kill to get what he wants. He's never actually killed a cat with his own claws, but there isn't a doubt he'd have the heart to.

History:

Melanome was born in a large litter of six, the first-born but runt of the litter. His father Rojor, as custom, attempted to kill the runt until his [moreso favorite] daughter-kit took a liking to him. Nome's life was, after that, not very difficult [being the son of the rogue-pack's leader, anyway.] He caused a bit of trouble for the clans, as he was a very curious kitten and often wandered into clancat territory, causing skirmishes and bad tempers.
His mother was killed in a brawl not too long after his birth, and her litter was moved to a 'nanny' cat that Melanome loved with all his heart. He attempted to follow his father around much more often, though Rojor would hardly put his paws on him, even to shove him away. Things went on for a long time like that, Melanome feverishly trying to win his father's affection while Rojor seemed to be wasting it on everyone else.

One night, however, a new cat arrived, looking for a home. Rojor gave it to her, telling the pretty she-cat that she could be his personal hunter if she so wanted. She was clever, and one night slipped a death berry into a vole she'd caught for Rojor.
Nome caught sight of this and, quickly, kicked the food away from Rojor's hungry jaw and told him everything he knew, condemning the she-cat to death. Rojor would never say that he was proud of his 'runt of a child,' but Melanome knew that he'd finally got the small bit of attention he'd wanted.

When Melanome turned ten moons, Rojor began to talk about who would take over the pack when he passed on. Nome knew he really had no chance: but that didn't matter to him. The lust for power drew the small cat to create a small group of his own, mixed with enemy rogues, loners, and a few of his friends. These cats were to do his bidding, and during their time killed a good chunk of Melanome's family, until there were only two other siblings left to compete with: Kuga, a rather dim-witted tom with more muscle than brains, and Thara, his twin. Thara was smart as Melanome and just as driven, though instead of wanting some sort of Monarchy, he wanted a group much like the clans.
Nome realized Thara would be a challenge. The pack liked the tom, Rojor liked the tom, and he was most-likely to move up as leader. He planned for his group to capture and kill Thara, though they never got the chance.
Fortunantly for Thara, Nome's plans were destroyed by the humans, and Nome lost sight of his elder brother as all the cats, including the clans, fled.
