Name: Iceclaw
Age: 55 moons (4 years and 7 months)
Gender: Male
Rank: (Senior) Warrior
Clan: GustClan
Personality:
Iceclaw is the type one might consider the wise, hard-headed underachiever. Contradictory? Yeah, that's the kind of cat he is.
This tom cat is very stubborn. He never backs down from a challenge, and he makes sure it gets done once it is decided it should. If anyone were to argue about getting the challenge done, Iceclaw would consider that cat disrespectful and oblivious to the situation. As oblivious as he thinks they'd be, he'd still listen and possibly take some of their ideas into his own strategies. Sometimes he comes off as a hypocrite because of this way of thinking.
As stubborn as Iceclaw is, he can still figure out what's good for him. If the challenge proves too difficult, he won't force himself to finish it himself unless he sees a way out of it. He doesn't make others finish his jobs for him, either. He may or may not use help from others to finish it, but he always makes it so he was the cause of it happening.
Iceclaw enjoys strategic thinking and never backing down from challenges and utilizing his resources for finish jobs, but at the same time, he likes to be lazy. When he can, he simply relaxes at the Hot Springs or he lazily sits in his den, or even hangs out around the fresh-kill pile with others when they're eating. When he can, he avoids going on patrols, hunts, and any other duty he's asked of. When he feels like it he will, but he underachieves so much that he almost never feels like joining the duties at hand. Even so, he is still loyal to his Clan and does the jobs when he is specifically asked to.
If Iceclaw had any real strengths, it would have to be fighting. He doesn't seem the type to enjoy it, but his claws can pack a mean scratch to the face, making any enemy fear his power.
Iceclaw possesses no secret ambitions, goals, or dreams. He has no intention of becoming Clan leader or deputy any day soon, even if others have told him his strategic thinking would make him a good one. No, he just wants to lay back and relax while he can while serving his Clan.
Iceclaw's main weakness is the way he underestimates his enemies. He goes into battle trusting his strength, but perhaps he relies on it a bit too much. Because he counts on himself and his power so much, he automatically agrees with the idea of his opponent being weaker than he is, which causes many scars for Iceclaw.
Physical Description:
Iceclaw has a solid gray pelt. The only things on him that aren't gray are his front paws and his blue eyes.
His head is a bit squared. If a human were to look at it, one might compare its bent angles on the sides to an ice cube. He has a normal curve at the top of his head, but the face resembles a more squared off structure, and his cheeks are definitely not round. Even his ears don't have the normal rounding-up-to-a-point shape that most cats have. His just shoot straight up to the ear tip, making them almost look like actual triangles.
Iceclaw's body isn't as square as his face is. His back is rather straight, but the end running up to the tail curves, although not by much. From a distance, you wouldn't be able to notice any curve at all. His legs are different, though.
Iceclaw's legs are well-built and he has round lower legs and paws. His thighs begin to make a rectangular shape, but the thighs aren't as rectangular as his head is square. His front upper legs are normal for most cats. All four of his legs are very flexible, but his body is so oddly shaped with the mixes of rounds and rectangles that his flexibility doesn't flow well with his balance. Even his tail doesn't help his balancing too much, although Iceclaw has a rather long tail.
Iceclaw is the only one of his family who has a pure-colored tail. He has no second color to his long tail. It is simply gray, just like the rest of his pelt. Iceclaw is just gray, all gray except for his two front paws. His ears have slightly darker shades of gray, but they are hardly noticable unless you are up close to him.
Iceclaw has several scars scattered across his body. On his shoulder, on his stomach, his tail, and one on his chin. His first scar was the one on his tail, followed by his stomach scar. After that came his chin scar, and his shoulder scar came last. They aren't completely visible, but anyone would be able to see the scar on his chin from afar.
His eyes are a bright blue, very much like the blue you could find when staring at ice that is reflecting the sky's light.

Other notes: Hawktalon's old mentor who will be killed off at some point. Still in progress; brainstorming ideas for the history, bleh.
