What a little rat bastard kitty cat, I almost named him Roachfur.

The Warriors universe this is set in is not the traditional one, instead I'm using the OC Universe I developed over a long time. There are still four Clans; EbonyClan, EmberClan, SmokeClan, and WispClan- There is also a rogue faction group known as the Forsaken. To keep explanations short, I'll focus on Forsaken lore. They're a vicious mix of former Clan and rogue cats that live in an overgrown graveyard (Field of Standing Stones). They pretty much keep to themselves, occasionally launching attacks on any of the four Clans just to keep their position/stance cemented. Dark powers are at play here, though-- Just like the Glittering Cave (Similar to the Moonstone / Moonpool), there is a path under one of the stone slabs that leads to a deeper connection with the Place of No Stars. The Forsaken have their own sort of religion, allegiance to the Dark Forest rather than StarClan-- And with that comes the standard connection; being able to confer with ancestors, etc etc. But, once in a while, StarClan and the Dark Forest gain a cat powerful enough to bestow 'powers' on the living. That's where the explanation comes in. Due to some prophecy to combat a grave threat, Eaglepaw (Steve) of EbonyClan is granted great prowess in battle, invulnerability; sort of a 'protector of all Clans'- He went from a scrawny medicine cat apprentice to a formidable warrior almost overnight. During a vicious skirmish with the Forsaken, the EbonyClan patrol Eaglefeather was leading got broken up- Stormeyes (Bucky) ended up being thrown from the rockfall they were being pushed back on, tumbling into the ravine and never being found again. Eaglefeather turned Eaglestar after a while, taking over the leader position after Palestar was lost to the rogue group- Forever grieving the loss of his clanmate. Stormeyes, however, survived and were found by the pair of kittypets that reside close to EbonyClan territory. His left foreleg was all but mangled, covered in lacerations. They delivered him to the Forsaken as a bid for help and, the group seeing their chance, offered him up to the Dark Forest as a form of sacrifice. The cats in the Dark Forest took this opportunity to kind of counter StarClan's prophecy with Eaglestar, creating their own twisted version of him. Stormeyes was granted the same abilities, along with nine lives***. They also took away his memories, casting a dark shroud around his mind to keep him loyal and compliant to the Forsaken. Appearance-wise, the transformation turned parts of his fur silver and white + altered some of his black markings-- Namely his left leg is now a snow-white and there are mask-like black markings over his face. He also bulked up, much like Eaglestar did. Stormeyes, now known as Silentstrike to the Forsaken, or the 'Frost-Bound Spirit' to the Clans, became somewhat of a legend told to apprentices to keep them in camp, but he was all too real. ***- Combining their abilities with the gain of their 'nine lives', rendering both Eaglestar and Stormeyes pretty much invulnerable and immortal.

it seems the iron mans have it! also, spacey, you need to get on that! movie is a genuinely good movie!
